Chapter 8 Zero Threshold Writing
Shopping malls are like battlefields, and competition between companies is not only the competition of products, but also the competition of vision.
Either the product quality is good, or there is a competitive advantage.
In the market competition, there is often a phenomenon of bad money driving out good money, copycat products driving out genuine products, and general products squeezing high-quality products.
All this is market positioning.
Many products, due to the wrong market positioning, not only did not increase competitiveness, but weakened competitiveness, and were finally defeated by opponents.
Previously, Lilac positioned the website as a boutique to create a boutique website; But it turned out that she was wrong.
This kind of mistake does not need much debate, it only needs to be thought about and a conclusion is reached. Fiction websites and online literature are heretics for traditional literature, and they must have been resisted and suppressed by mainstream literature. This is inevitable, and it is the so-called competition for fame and fortune.
snatched fame and competed for interests, which naturally attracted suppression.
The boutique can't get through, so it can only take the route of the people's army.
"How to write with zero threshold? Be specific! I don't want fuzzy numbers, I need precise data! Lilac asked.
"Zero-threshold writing, in fact, means that any work can be published on the website, and ninety percent of the works can meet the contract standard!" Li Qing thought about it and said: "To put it simply, as long as you collect more than 1,000, you can sign a contract; Or if the number of words is more than 400,000 words, but less than 1,000 collections, but continue to update, the number of interruptions within three months, no more than two, you can also sign a contract! ”
"That's too low!" Lilac Road.
"The threshold seems to be very low, but it is actually very high!" Li Qing said lightly: "There is no threshold, it is the biggest threshold." For a writer, the writing ratio is not important, the writing talent is not important, the most important thing is persistence. No one is born a great writer, and no one can write a classic book from the beginning. Many classic novels are revised step by step. Many writers have experienced the initial writing in general, accustomed to imitating some of them, and then continued to explore, got rid of the barriers of their predecessors, and walked out of their own path! ”
"Many writers, often when the market is not good and their collection is low, they choose to abandon books, or give up writing; There are not many who have poor grades at 400,000 words and still insist on writing! These two seem to have a very low threshold, but in fact the threshold is very high. Some things are simple and simple that many people can't do! ”
Lilac nodded, somewhat understanding.
In the face of difficulties, there are few who persevere.
In the face of difficulties, sometimes giving up is better than persevering.
These two items may have been brushed off by a third, or even more.
The so-called zero-threshold writing is not without a threshold, but has become an invisible threshold, and the initiative of this threshold is not in the hands of editors, but in the hands of authors.
It seems to be extremely generous, but it is not generous at all.
"If it is according to your design, there is no need to edit at all, only the computer needs to design a software, and then the qualified ones go up, and the unqualified ones go down!" Lilac said suddenly.
"Ahem, there really is such a trend!" Li Qing coughed and said: "Donghua's science and technology are improving, on the one hand, Donghua's aging is intensifying, and there is an urgent need for a young population; On the one hand, unemployment in Donghua has increased, and many young people cannot find jobs. The root of everything is the progress of science and technology, machines eat people, and technology eats people! ”
The times are advancing, science and technology are developing, and the vigorous development of science and technology has led to overcapacity on the one hand, and unemployment of a large number of people on the other.
The number of unemployed people is increasing, as long as technology continues to develop.
For example, in the past, a steel mill needed 50,000 or 60,000 people, but now it only needs 3,500 people, and in the next few decades, it may only need 350,000 people.
The advancement of science and technology has led to a large number of people losing their jobs.
This is called machine cannibalism, and it is called technology cannibalism.
It's just that no matter how much science and technology eat people, we must also vigorously develop science and technology, otherwise we will only be eliminated by the times, and the so-called backwardness will be beaten.
One scientist predicted that in 200 years, 90 percent of the human population would be unemployed.
The vigorous development of the tertiary industry is to improve employment, alleviate the evil consequences of machine cannibalism, and alleviate the cannibalism of science and technology.
But even so, capacity is limited, unemployment is increasing, and many people are unemployed, or semi-unemployed.
Or, there is a serious waste of resources, a waste of talents.
Just to endure the consequences of technology cannibalism, this waste is in patience.
"Well, though, you still need some editing, computers aren't omnipotent, and there may be some vulnerabilities!" Li Qing said: "Editors should investigate and deal with some in a timely manner, so as not to appear some invalid pasted texts, some large-scale plagiarized texts, and many texts that violate social harmony and commit taboos!" Lest some divine books appear! ”
In the previous life, there were three major divine books, "Nine Turns of the Golden Body", "Different Heavenly Path", and "The Young Master of Online Games".
"Nine Turns of the Golden Body", even the name of the novel is wrong, the "trick" is written as a typo "decision", and there are many unreasonable plots in the article, many sentences are not smooth, and there are many typos.
"Different Heavens" is simply a spoof by netizens, rolling his face and typing, and the meaningless content typed out, but in the end, he signed a contract and was on the recommendation list.
"Online Game: The Young Master of the World" is also similar, with a lot of sick sentences and a lot of typos.
As a result, this phenomenon has emerged, to put it bluntly, it is computer review, and there is less editing checks, and no matter how sensitive the machine is, there will be some loopholes after all. The existence of editing can effectively reduce the occurrence of such phenomena.
"A thousand collections, or 400,000 words, can be regarded as the standard for signing a contract. And it is also necessary to set three criteria for not signing a contract, not signing a contract if there are too many typos, not signing a contract if there are too many language problems, and the circumstances are serious and unreasonable, and not signing a contract ......" Li Qing thought about it and said some conclusions.
Lilac said: "There are too many typos, how many typos, how many are too many, how many are not much; There are too many language diseases, and the specific criteria are, what is too much and what is not much; There are also serious and unreasonable circumstances, which is not easy to evaluate. Many novels are absurd and difficult to judge! ”
"This, within 3,000 words, there are no more than five typos, or even lower; As for language disease, it is not required to be outstanding in writing, it is not required that there is no trace of language disease, and the standard is to be fluent in sentences; As for whether the plot is reasonable or not, I don't have a good evaluation...... This one is the hardest! ”
Li Qing said.
"There are some problems, don't quantify them, and you can't establish specific standards, you can only rely on feelings...... Follow the feeling!"
