Yue Qingyan didn't know at the moment that Miwu, Du Xiao and Ah Yue had made an appointment to see him, and he was still indulging in the frustration of drawing the skill of the cheating father.

"Eight Minutes of Warmth" He didn't expect much, the city and the campus are all a bunch of little kids, what skills can they have? The skill description is also extremely simple: 100% of the difficult physics questions in high school or high school.

Yue Qingyan has already graduated from college, okay? Do you want the skill of high school physics to make it easier to make up for classes?

Of course, in "Eight Minutes of Warmth", other skills are not much better, several main roles are assigned to various disciplines, and there is also a "debate". It was expected to be a high school physics drawn, and I was not disappointed.

But "The Story of Your Life" is not, except for the protagonist, most of the other characters in it are soldiers, such as "shooting", "parachuting", "special tactics", "fighting", "tactical command", "VIP protection...... Wait a minute. Actually, it's useless, but it's impossible for a guy not to be interested in this kind of thing. However, with the bell, Yue Qingyan drew the protagonist's skills. He drew "Louis Banks—Linguistics." ”

Although "linguistics" is really a great skill and can be considered useful for an author, it ...... For now, I still don't know what to do with this thing.

Yue Qingyan was also really tired. The three novels add up, and it's been almost a month, and he's been writing at home. I ran into a community where the decoration was too noisy, so I took my notebook to the café in the mall to sit for a day. The range of activity is no more than two kilometers, and when you are hungry, you can order takeout, and you can place an order when you think of something. This kind of life is just too decadent.

When the phone rang, Yue Qingyan was sitting at his desk, reading a book following the website list. Read 30 chapters in a book to understand the subject matter, the author's writing ability, and the direction of the plot. This is also one of the basic skills of professional online writers. The boss taught them before.

Generally, an author can scan the list once a week to see what new works are available, and it doesn't take much time, but for Yue Qingyan, who has completely started over, there is too much homework to make up. Especially now.

Because of his own whim, Yue Qingyan wrote a novella of quite good quality but had no place to publish, and wrote two short stories for the essay competition. In order to be able to get by, all kinds of basic daily necessities and clothes added up to several thousand. Although he still has more than 20,000 yuan in hand, God knows when he will be able to earn the manuscript fee after that. He had to plan ahead. One or two months, two or three months are fine, but if you really drag on for a longer period of time and you can't get a stable income, it will be embarrassing.

Author, that's what kind of profession it is. Sometimes a good work may not be able to sell well, and even if it sells well, it is not possible to get money quickly. All kinds of rebirth to engage in literature, the editor thinks it's good at every turn, and then the first printing of 50,000 and then quickly sells more than a million copies, or the online text subscription soars to a lot all of a sudden, probably really never really rolled in this circle. No job, no profession is simple.

Yue Qingyan now connected the phone without looking at the number at all. Now his identity information is so clean that it is simply outrageous, in the mobile phone address book, the people who call him are all takeaway or courier brothers in the past few days, and there is no one else.

Yue Qingyan answered the phone. "Hello. Who?"

"I am Ah Yue, the head of the judging committee of the Creative Elements Essay Competition. ”

"Hello. Is there something going on? I think it's going to be two weeks before the results are out, right?"

"Yes. After reading two of your works, I think they are of high quality, and I want to ask you to know some about the creation, I wonder if you have time? Ah Yue's tone was very polite.

"No problem. Yue Qingyan looked at the computer: 12:29. This point is about to meet in the afternoon, and the other party is really vigorous.

Ah Yue reported the name and location of the café to Yue Qingyan. After Yue Qingyan recorded a little, he immediately had to prepare to go out.

In the mirror, his hair was a little long, and it was uncomfortable not to cut it, Yue Qingyan realized more and more that it was really not good not to go out. I can't be a dead house anymore.

Following the address to the time of "Youlian", Miwu, Du Xiao, A Yue and a colleague in A Yue's company, Xu Yingying, an operation girl who is responsible for the management of the organization process of the competition.

"Here and here!" Seeing Yue Qingyan, who was dressed extremely simply and went out without even bringing a bag, Ah Yue hurriedly raised his hand.

"It's really young. Ah Yue helped introduce a circle, and after everyone said hello, Miwu sighed.

Age is one part, skin quality is another. After Yue Qingyan was reborn, the quality of his skin was simply against the sky. It's not that girly ruddy and delicate, but healthy and clean. What's more, Yue Qingyan was not ugly.

Hearing Mi Wu say this, Yue Qingyan didn't know what to say. He was the youngest of all the people present, less than a year after graduating from college. Xu Tingting looked at the smallest, baby-faced, brightly colored and cute clothes, and very lively makeup, just like a Japanese beautiful girl. But Xu Tingting is a year and a half older than Yue Qingyan, and she has been working for more than a year.

"After graduating, I had nothing to do, so I could only write. Yue Qingyan answered some questions, but the meaning was here.

"It's fine. Girls are more concerned about age. Mi Wu looked at Yue Qingyan carefully, and suddenly laughed: "How casual are you to buy clothes?

Yue Qingyan said with a smile: "I don't have time to pick out clothes, and besides, I don't go out much anyway, so it's good to be comfortable." How nice would it be to go to one house and solve all the dressing problems?"

Xu Tingting added: "From the inside out?"

So Yue Qingyan was gagged again, and he didn't know how to answer.

"What are you studying, not looking for a job?" asked Ah Yue. The number of professional authors is smaller than expected, and the vast majority of authors cannot make a living from writing, and they are all creating outside of work. But this Yue Qingyan doesn't look like it, I don't know if I can't find a job or not.

"I wanted to look for a job, but it didn't work. I just write something and see if the manuscript fee is earned. Yue Qingyan sighed: "I studied linguistics." "The skills that Yue Qingyan learned are now taken out and pretended. At this time, he said this with the mentality that if he didn't pretend to force this skill, it would be completely useless. "It's very difficult to find a job, and I'm not strong academically, so I can't stay in school. ”

"It's true, academic majors, it's really useless if you don't stay in school. Du Xiao said: "However, it seems that you should be able to make a living by earning manuscript fees." ”

"That's right. Mi Wu agreed: "Du Xiao and I saw your two manuscripts separately, and wanted to circulate them to each other, but I didn't expect them to be from you." Looking at your writing, it doesn't look like you just started writing, it's quite sophisticated. ”

"I used to practice writing, but I did just start writing. Yue Qingyan couldn't pretend to be forced in this regard.

"How long did these two take?" Miwu continued.

"Add it up, more than 10 days. Yue Qingyan thought for a while: "There is a break for two or three days in the middle. ”

"That's amazing. Du Xiao said: ""Eight Minutes of Warmth" is okay, but "The Story of Your Life" still needs to put a lot of effort into some research. Your linguistic skills are really good. ”

"It's okay. Yue Qingyan didn't need to be too modest in this regard, after all, his current skill "linguistics" came from a real academic master-level role.

Ah Yue said with a smile: "You don't have to run away to earn manuscript fees, and you will win awards if there are no accidents in these two articles." Then, give us the copyright, and you can also get a fee for the copyright transfer. ”

Yue Qingyan didn't hesitate and said, "Okay." ”

Ah Yue was a little surprised: "Don't ask the price?"

Yue Qingyan smiled and said, "Rookie author, I know my own catties. Moreover, I have read the detailed rules of your essay, and the transfer of copyright is not bound to personal rights, and there is no restriction on what I write in the future, so it's okay. The price and the like, the newcomer has nothing to worry about, and it is useless to care. Let's take a long-term view. ”

Although Yue Qingyan is a newcomer, he is quite familiar with the habits in the circle. Most importantly, there is no bad habit of newcomers who value themselves more than the sky. In the field of literature and culture, it is not easy for everyone to live, and everyone needs to have the space to do things and make profits. Authors who are at the forefront of the industry have the opportunity to be willful, but for newcomers, it is better not to take themselves too seriously on the premise of ensuring their own interests. Once or twice capricious, maybe in the future, the publisher and the platform will feel that this author is too unique and difficult to communicate, and some opportunities will not look for such an author. A very unique author who can't communicate, if he can always maintain a high level of creation, it's fine. But if you run into other troubles, it's hard to turn over.

Ah Yue smiled and said, "I like newcomers with clear brains the most." How did you come up with these two stories?"

Although Yue Qingyan is easy to talk and sensible, Ah Yue still has to take a good test after all, whether this guy really has the strength to do so.

For the article "The Story of Your Life", knowing Yue Qingyan's professional background, it is naturally easy to explain. But in the article "Eight Minutes of Warmth", Miwu has great doubts. She couldn't believe that Yue Qingyan actually knew this about the psychology of women.

"The core of both novels is actually the same, both about communication, exchange, and the difference between positions, which have developed from some misunderstandings to irreparable wars. I first thought of "The Story of Your Life", but it was too difficult to write, so I originally wanted to write a story about misunderstanding and practice my hands first. But what about the misunderstandings and motivations between girls? I felt that jealousy would be a very strong motivation, so I started to try. I thought about a lot of plots, and if I really want to write it, I can actually write it as a long one. But I think it's too girly and too fragmented. But focusing on the contradiction between Gu Xiye and Yan Ze, and it is less than 20,000 words, I feel that some expressions are still insufficient, and I can't write it if I hold back. The third-person perspective is also quite problematic, and it's hard to get stuck there. I designed the open-ended ending, and I didn't figure out how to deal with it. Also, I really like the two characters, and I don't want to write too much. ”

"I feel like you wrote about the communication between the person and the Seven Limbs Bucket, and there was still communication, and finally an agreement was reached. But why...... Yan Ze and Gu Xiye want you to live or die?" Du Xiao asked.

"Because, the contradiction between girls is more difficult to resolve than the contradiction between humans and aliens. Xu Yingying mended the knife lightly.

"People and aliens are nothing more than communication of the right to live, nothing more than life and death. Between girls and girls, sometimes the other party is still angry when they die. Miwu added with a smile.

"That's not what I meant at all!" Yue Qingyan hurriedly said. Everyone laughed.

"You say the problem of third-person perspective...... Indeed, I feel that when you go to the back of the narrative, there are still some details that are handled more vaguely. Do you want to write in the first person, or, like the story of your life, in the second person?" Du Xiao focuses on the writing technique of the novel itself.

"POV, sub-line narration. Yue Qingyan said: "The perspectives of the two characters are narrated separately and then combined. Some of them can use some techniques and ways of POV when facing each other. ”

Yue Qingyan's mind is very clear, and he has indeed thought more carefully before.

And as Yue Qingyan said this, everyone thought carefully about the feasibility and nodded. The last trace of suspicion about Yue Qingyan also disappeared. The mere fact that he was able to speak this directional idea was enough to prove his writing ability.

"That's amazing. Du Xiao said: "But writing like this, it is really unbearable within 20,000 words, and this length is estimated to expand to more than 40,000 or even more?"

Yue Qingyan nodded: "Yes, moreover, this POV method is used to narrate different directions of the same story, repeating the narrative, and readers may not like to read it." Average readers will not be able to understand the key to this style of writing. So, I gave up. ”

"You've thought it through. Ah Yue exclaimed, "Is there anything else written? Let's take a look?"

"There's a light novel that can't be sent. Yue Qingyan said: "Add a WeChat? I'll pass it on to you." ”

Yue Qingyan didn't expect to release "Your Name", just to show everyone. When a few people here saw this novel, they glanced down and were fascinated by the tone of the novel's narration. The tone of the text of "Your Name" is more like "Eight Minutes of Warmth", but more powerful and complex.

"Completeness...... It's really high. Du Xiao read it the fastest: "Newcomers rarely have such a high degree of completion." Are you really just starting to write?"

"It's like a fake. ”

While everyone was chatting, Ah Yue and Xu Yingying both watched it for the second time.

Xu Yingying said: "Is the copyright of this novel complete?"

"Just finished writing...... It was written last month. It's a very Japanese-style light novel, and I don't know what to do. I just had an idea, so I wrote it. Yue Qingyan said.

"Sign it to the company. We have a framework agreement with the publisher on the RB side, and although it is not guaranteed, there is room for operation. ”

"Okay. It was a complete surprise. Yue Qingyan said.

"Treat. Mi Wu said joistically.

"It should be, it should be. It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to entertain my seniors. Yue Qingyan put his posture very low.

"Haha, it's so cute. Mi Wu covered her mouth and smiled: "No matter how much you want to be a newcomer, there is no reason to treat you." Ah Yue?"

"My mine, I should please. Ah Yue was very happy: "It's a good thing to collect three copyrights a day." ”

Du Xiao said: "To see such a powerful newcomer, you have to drink a lot of wine." ”

In literary circles, people who are easy to get along with can quickly come together. And these people before the Ming Dynasty were like-minded authors, editors, and friends. In terms of ability and heart, Yue Qingyan has already been regarded as their friend.
