Chapter 53: We'll see
At the end of the afternoon code word time, Xu Feng clicked on the manuscript. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to the 150,000 words sent to the north for "review" in advance, there are now 60,000 or 70,000 manuscripts in reserve. Nearly 100,000 words posted to the website, and there are 19 days left in this month, which means that at least 100,000 words need to be coded to complete the basic update volume of this month.
Presumably readers who are already chasing more will not be too harsh on the speed of the update, and occasionally add a few more chapters when the time comes, and the rest of the time will be more than 150,000 words, which is definitely more than enough.
Then the rest of the time can be used to save the manuscript.
Xu Feng made a simple calculation, four of the remaining nineteen days were weekends, and he could code up to seventy or eighty thousand words every day for these four days, even if he was conservative and didn't run away with 50,000 words.
Then four days is 200,000, and the other fifteen days, according to the normal rhythm of two and a half hours a day, 30,000, that is, 450,000, a total of 650,000 words.
With this most conservative algorithm, he could have more than half a million manuscripts at the beginning of next month.
Such a large number of manuscripts is not a small amount for any author. Without modesty, it's already astronomical. What's more, Xu Feng can still guarantee continuous codeword output at that time.
Hehe, looking at it this way, it's almost everything ready, only the east wind is owed!
And at this moment, in an independent office building at No. 690 Bibo Road, Zhangjiang High-tech Park, PDX District, Modu.
Beibei is sitting in a leather sofa, and behind it is a whole row of cabinets, in which there are many new books, most of which are fist products published by the urban group of Qidian.com.
A middle-aged man with large black-rimmed glasses is sitting behind a conjoined desk, carefully reading a document that slides slowly across the monitor.
He nodded as he watched, while the north waited nervously, the free coffee in the seating area at hand was already cold.
"Ahem, Xiaobei."
The north stood up all of a sudden: "Mr. Hu! β
"Hmm!" The editor-in-chief of the editorial department of the starting point city, "nonsense", put on the big glasses on the bridge of his nose, in which a bright flash of light was reflected.
"I've seen this infinite horror again and again, and the quality is very good."
Beibei drank the coffee and walked over with a smile: "What do you think of the buyout plan I mentioned?" β
Although he smiled and spoke, he was also quite nervous, for fear that the proposal he submitted would not be approved. This is undoubtedly an unconventional operation, and as a new associate editor who has just parachuted into the starting point, it is an opportunity to show his ability and vision, but it has to be said that he needs to take a lot of risks.
Hu Shuo glanced at Beibei meaningfully: "Xiaobei, are you really confident in this book?" β
"Mr. Hu, this is my personal opinion......"
"Well, don't talk about these politenesses. The higher authorities sent you to the starting point, and they have absolute confidence in your abilities. You were also brought out by me, and we have something to say between us. β
Beifang nodded: "Okay, I don't think this book is generally good, I'm afraid that at present, all the people in our old station and the new station have not surpassed him." β
"Oh?" Hu Shuo smiled weirdly, "Xiaobei, this is a bit big." β
"Uh...... Mr. Hu, I'm not only talking about the book itself, but also the author. He was brought out by me, and this is his second signing book, but the quality of the text and the idea have advanced by leaps and bounds, and the imagination is wild! And he is only fourteen years old this year, which is definitely a seedling that can be used as a website signboard. β
"Ahem......" Hu Shuo coughed lightly again, touched the cigarette case on the table, thought about it and lit one, "Indeed, this kid is amazing, but do you know how many hard injuries this book has?" β
"Huh?"
"The first is that the author is too young to start with an explosion of imagination, but it is not yet known how this performance will continue in the future. The writing skills shown in his first book are worth encouraging, so I fully support the series of recommendation applications you submitted. However this high price buyout...... You know, our authors are not one or two, this kid is not convincing enough to convince the public, right? β
Beifang was stunned for a moment, slightly uneasy. These truths are naturally obvious, and he does not deny them, but if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have to apply so hard. However, he also knew that Mr. Hu said this, but still did not directly refuse, indicating that this alone was not enough to deny his proposal.
So he asked: "Mr. Hu, what do you mean by hard injury?" β
Hu Xiao squirted eye circles in the other direction, then extinguished the cigarette butt and smiled: "It seems that you are really optimistic about this book." Then let me put it bluntly, judging from the current performance of this book, if he is an experienced author, I will definitely give him a buyout of more than 500 words per 1,000 words, and offer a platinum contract with both hands. However, you should be able to see that this new book is strangely conceived, and the routines are innovative but not clichΓ©d. However, it can also be seen from the outline that the subsequent story needs to continuously produce enough new copies, and then integrate the systems between the different copies, which is extremely difficult for a new author. β
Hu Shuo paused, let the north react, and continued: "Even if an old author doesn't pay attention to it, it will collapse, to put it bluntly, it's easy to write this book brilliantly, but it's hard to write perfectly!" And to write a long article, in line with the value you give, how to say? In my eyes, it's almost impossible. β
"But, Mr. Hu ......"
Hu Shuo waved his hand and motioned for the north to listen to him. Obviously, he also attaches great importance to this little brother he brought out, so he naturally wants to appease him.
This is not only a matter of work, but also the cultivation of his right-hand man.
"I'll disassemble it for you to analyze, in addition to the problems I just said about the control of the whole book, the highlight of this book itself is also a great difficulty. Each of the copies mentioned in the outline is very imaginative, and I can say that even if it is taken out separately and written as a novel, there is no problem. And from the part I have seen so far, the zombie world written by this author has taken my breath away! β
Speaking of this, Hu Shuo helped his glasses again, and seemed to be a little excited: "I agree with what you said, this kid is a genius, a genius!" However, how do you make sure that every copy of him is so brilliant that it won't be boring! The difficulty of writing this infinite horror to perfection is equivalent to writing more than a dozen novels at the same time, all of which can be called classics. β
Beifang swallowed hard, what he mentioned just now, he also faintly saw it when he reviewed the text, but because Xu Feng's new book was too amazing and too novel, as a newcomer in the industry who had only worked for a few years, he really didn't see it clearly.
When I heard it now, a clear idea was immediately formed in my mind, and I finally nodded.
Seeing that his little brother understood his thoughts, Hu Shuo nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, let's follow the previous plan and let this kid participate in PK, but don't pressure him too much to break out the code words, maintain the current quality, and you can make a similar judgment after three or five hundred thousand." Even if he is a little collapsed at that time and can't write perfectly, with your timely help and good training, it is definitely a material that can be made. The goal of China Literature Group is not only to become the leader of online literature, but also to achieve more ambitious goals, and such talents will definitely get the corresponding value matching! β
Beibei finally nodded seriously, and said something nonsense, and also showed an expression of admiration. The level of this big brother is not covered!
"Alright, it's almost time to get off work, right?" Nonsense glanced at the time, "Go, go and corrupt!" β
When chatting with nonsense in the north, Xu Feng didn't know anything. is helplessly helping her mother Xu Jiaojiao carry the booty of shopping, and at the same time looking forward to how to "torture" little Lori when she goes to school tomorrow. I didn't expect that my series of recommendations and plans to be on the PK list were not casual.
How many pairs of eyes are waiting to see it!
