Chapter 141: Pointing out a clear path for Zhou Xiaofu!
The human heart is greedy, and as long as there is desire, it will not be satisfied.
For example, Zhou Xiaofu, at the beginning of his creation of "Rebirth and Looking for Qin Ji: The Master is Xiang Shaolong", he was all out of interest!
Of course, one thing cannot be denied, that is, the "10,000 Award" set by the starting point 2002 fandom essay is a "creative catalyst" for Zhou Xiaofu.
Although Zhou Xiaofu is very self-aware and thinks that he will not be able to win the 10,000 grand prize of the starting point 2002 fanfare, there are no absolutes in the world, what if he is so lucky to win?
However, it turns out that there is no case, "Rebirth of the Master of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong" only won a consolation prize (finalist) in the 2002 Fan Essay Contest.
To tell the truth, Zhou Xiaofu was not hit by only one finalist for his "Rebirth and Qin Ji: The Master is Xiang Shaolong", his goal is to start from the 2002 Author Welfare One of the excellent works buyout plan.
If Zhou Xiaofu's "Rebirth of Qin Ji: The Master is Xiang Shaolong" did not win the second place in the click award in November 2002 and the sixth place in the click award in December 2002, then his ambition would not have swelled, and he would directly lock in the "buyout of excellent works".
To tell the truth, "Rebirth of the Master of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong" is not excellent among the many works at the starting point, and the quality of its works can only be regarded as average, so, with more and more works in the starting point, "Rebirth of the Master of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong" is becoming more and more inconspicuous, even if Zhou Xiaofu broke out more than 15,000 words a day in January, its results are not optimistic, just look at the click list ranking in January, "Rebirth of Qin Ji's Master is Xiang Shaolong" Only squeezed to the twelfth place, and then did not egg, this is like a mantra that people often say when they go to exams: "Long live 60 points, one more waste, one less sin." ”
That's right, "Rebirth of the Lord of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong" won the twelfth place in the click list in January for Zhou Xiaofu has no meaning, the name of Sun Mountain is the name of Sun Shan, even if the starting point is currently the only buyout work "My Lily Career in the Tang Dynasty" to the works behind the click list to make the list, there is such a big mountain as "A Generation of Evil Emperors: Chasing Yan Datang" in front of "Rebirth of the Lord of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong", how can "Rebirth of the Master of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong" be on the list?
As the saying goes, "the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment", "Rebirth of the Lord of Qin Ji: The Master is Xiang Shaolong" fell into the sand in the battle for the click award in January, Zhou Xiaofu was hit hard and couldn't muster up the courage to continue to fight for three months, because as the website continues to grow, Zhou Xiaofu's competitors will only increase, not less, and the monthly click award, the website only sets ten rankings.
As for the recommendation award, Zhou Xiaofu is very self-aware and does not dare to expect extravagance.
Before the starting point did not launch the "excellent works buyout plan", Zhou Xiaofu was easily satisfied, even if he only had a creative subsidy of 300 yuan per month, he could also create with passion, but at this time and that time, so Zhou Xiaofu was depressed on the first day of February, and he couldn't mention the spirit of the word.
There is a disease called mood sickness!
No, Zhou Xiaofu suffered from a mood disorder called "loss", and the whole person was depressed and unhappy, not happy at all.
What to do if you are unhappy?
Naturally, I was looking for someone to ask for comfort.
Soon, Zhou Xiaofu locked in a person to talk to, that is, Bole who guided him to embark on the road of online writing-Chen Mo!
In the middle of the night, Zhou Xiaofu did not call Chen Mo directly, but edited the text message and asked: "Brother Mo, did you sleep?" I died of sadness, please comfort!"
When Chen Mo saw Zhou Xiaofu's text message, how could he be speechless, on the first day of the New Year, and it was the middle of the night, was it appropriate for Zhou Xiaofu to send him such a text message?
Fortunately, Chen Mo has no taboos, otherwise Zhou Xiaofu will be beaten into the author's cold palace in minutes, so that he will never come out at the starting point.
Chen Mo didn't turn a blind eye to Zhou Xiaofu's text message, he quickly replied: "What's wrong? Do you have no New Year's money? Or is this year's New Year's money less than expected?"
Money given to children as a gift during lunar New Year?
Since Zhou Xiaofu was able to make money, the "New Year's money" he was most looking forward to every year instantly became a floating cloud, you must know that Zhou Xiaofu's annual New Year's money has never exceeded 2000 yuan, and he has to take out at least half of the New Year's money and hand it over to his parents, on the other hand, Zhou Xiaofu last year (that is, October ~ December) earned at the starting point, no more or no less before tax, just 5000 yuan.
So, Zhou Xiaofu replied: "It's not a matter of pressing the New Year's money, but a problem that my novel didn't make it to the click list." ”
Isn't it just that I didn't make it to the hit list in January? Wouldn't it be okay to continue to work hard in February? What's so sad about that?
Chen Mo is not a stupid person, so he naturally knows that what Zhou Xiaofu is really sad about is not that his "Rebirth and Looking for Qin Ji's Master is Xiang Shaolong" did not appear on the January click list, but that his "Rebirth and Qin Ji's Master is Xiang Shaolong" is difficult to be bought out by the website with a thousand words.
When there are not many works in the starting point library, when the starting point is on fire, YY cool texts like "Rebirth and Looking for Qin Ji's Master is Xiang Shaolong" are easy to enter the reader's eyes, and it will be a small fire or a big fire in an instant, but with more and more works in the starting point library, urban classification has risen strongly, like "Rebirth and Qin Ji's Master is Xiang Shaolong" This kind of featureless and cookie-cutter YY cool text is easy to be ignored by readers, or forgotten on the bookshelf by readers, after all, for readers, even if the author changes 100,000 words a day, it is not enough for them to read, so many readers are used to fattening the book, and as a result, they forget it, or the reader loses the passion for chasing the book at the beginning, and does not want to continue to chase.
In short, it is difficult for "Rebirth of the Master of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong" to fight a bloody way out of the crowd of enemies, and it has been on the hit list for three consecutive times, in other words, "Rebirth of the Master of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong" has no chance to be listed as an excellent work by the website Thousand Words Buyout.
Rules are rules, Chen Mo can't make an exception for Zhou Xiaofu just because he is familiar with him, the main reason is that "Rebirth of the Little Master of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong" is too ordinary, Chen Mo can't find a reason to make an exception for Zhou Xiaofu.
Although Chen Mo can't make an exception for Zhou Xiaofu, he can point out a clear path for Zhou Xiaofu!
"How many words are you going to write in your novel? I see that your novels have all reached 1.6 million words, and the plot of Xun Qin should be almost finished, right? Even if your work is bought out, what else do you have to write?"
There are a lot of works in the starting point library.,Like "Rebirth of the Little Master of Qin Ji is Xiang Shaolong", Chen Mo won't chase it.,But not chasing doesn't mean not paying attention.,Just look at the catalog.,Chen Mo knew that Zhou Xiaofu's search for Qin was coming to an end.。
"As long as my novel can be bought out, I must have other content to write, and when the plot of Xun Qin is over, then I will let the protagonist wear it back to modern times. ”
Well, this explanation is very powerful, and Chen Mo is speechless.
In other words, you can't buy out the number of words at will, otherwise it will be easy to be cut in half by the website.
"I don't think it's very likely that you're looking for Qin to be bought out by the website.,I suggest you start preparing for a new book!4month,I'm going to launch a fantasy essay.,The theme of your new book can choose fantasy.,Don't end your book in a hurry.,You can hang the update first.,Daily update 2000~6000 words,I believe it's not a problem to double open at your code word speed.。 ”
Zhou Xiaofu saw the words "Fantasy Essay", and his morale was instantly high, and there was a buffer time of two months, which was enough for him to prepare a new book and start his journey again!
