Chapter 85 Reader Survey Results (Part II)

This time, there are only two works in the fiction section, "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Wenzong", so the results of this issue of the magazine are only a comparison of the two books.

For a weekly magazine like Jinghua Reader, it is best to know whether readers have a good opinion of an issue and which works they like.

Although "Jinghua Reader" is a new publication, because the editors of the magazine are all from the original team of "Jinghua Story", it has established its own set of reader survey system at the beginning of the preparation for publication.

Readers' responses to reviews come from emails and Weibo private messages, which are summarized by editors in different sections and presented into data.

And all the data in the fiction section was summed up, and finally became the page of the smokegunner.

Cigarette Gun's brow furrowed as he looked at the paper with the results of the survey printed on it.

In terms of reader recognition, "Wenzong" accounted for 71.6%, and the remaining 28.4% recognized "Dream of Red Mansions".

In terms of readers' expectations, 89.4% of readers of "Wenzong" and only 10.6% of readers of "Dream of Red Mansions" are looking forward to the subsequent chapters.

Reader satisfaction......

Lines of data make the bongs a little unbelievable.

The performance of "Wenzong" is excellent, and he is not surprised by the smoking gun, this Xue Liang is a level 6 writer recognized by the Writers Association, this time he came to "Jinghua Reader" to publish his works, if the praise is not enough, he is strange......

The poor performance of "Dream of Red Mansions" is what makes the smoking gun frown.

The manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions" has been read by both myself and the editor-in-chief, and in the eyes of the two, this is definitely a masterpiece.

Although there is only one time, they think that such a work should be comparable to Xue Liang's "Wenzong"!

He frowned and turned on his computer, logged into the editorial office's intranet, and flipped through the reader survey emails that had been classified.

The novel section has received more than 3,000 emails from readers this time, and it may not be possible to read it even if you watch it for a day and a night.

Opening a random email, he stared intently at the computer screen.

"There is no doubt that the two works in the novel section of this issue of "Jinghua Reader", "Wenzong" is completely better than "Dream of Red Mansions"! In my opinion, "Dream of Red Mansions" should not be placed in the fiction section at all! Novels should have a story and a plot! But "Dream of Red Mansions" didn't make me feel that there was any story element in it! ”

"I think that the Confucian spirit of "Wenzong" should be a new genre in this kind of fantasy element novels, although I have not read this kind of work before, but I think this work of Mr. Xue Liang is deeply attracted to me."

"As for "Dream of Red Mansions", I'm sorry, but I'm really a little bit of a beginner, and I can't understand what this work is about, or to put it mildly, the theme is unclear. Please don't publish Mr. Jiang's "Dream of Red Mansions" next time, I will be the first to support him when he writes poems and prose, but this novel is ...... It's too rough, too. ”

Cigarette Gun read the email in silence.

Why? Why is "Dream of Red Mansions" not accepted by readers when it is recognized by both itself and the editor-in-chief?

After thinking about it carefully, Smoking Gun came to a conclusion that made him feel guilty.

In the end, they only gave "Dream of Red Mansions" 5 pages in the end, almost destroying most of the essence of "Dream of Red Mansions", the first episode.

The first episode of "Dream of Red Mansions" can be divided into two sections.

The first paragraph is the origin of two people, a fairy grass and a stone; correspond to Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu respectively.

The second paragraph is the story of Zhen Shiyin.

However, because of Xue Liang's sudden participation, the eight-page page that was originally assigned to Jiang Daoli and could be published once became five. And because of the urgency of the typesetting time at that time, the printing plant was even more shut down and waited for the magazine. After the text editor who was responsible for arranging the layout had processed the layout, he didn't have time to look at the cigarette gun at all, and gave it directly to the printing house.

Later, the sample was published, and the smoking gun also looked at it, and the text editor very simply divided the original 8,000-word "Dream of Red Mansions" into two for the first time, and the last place to stop was to write how much Zhen Shiyin loved the three-year-old Yinglian, and regarded it as a pearl in the palm of his hand.

At the time, he didn't think there was anything, but at this time, it seemed that the problem was big, because he was already looking at it with the eyes of what was already going on!

If 8,000 words are put together, then this first time is a whole.

But after separation, readers will see in the clouds, just like this issue of "Jinghua Reader".

If you don't know what's going on, what would it be like to look at the previous part?

The cigarette gun took a copy of this issue of "Jinghua Reader" from the table, and turned directly to the "Dream of Red Mansions" section.

Well...... In that case, it is true...... Such. Bonggun sighed.

The mythical story explained at the beginning leads to Zhen Shiyin, which is all part of the first episode of "Dream of Red Mansions" published in this issue of "Jinghua Reader".

And the text in the first half of this part is indeed not engaging enough, and when the opening of "Wenzong" is repeated, readers will naturally feel that "Dream of Red Mansions" is boring and boring.

If there were no stories of Zhen Shiyin's loss of Yinglian, the defeat of the Zhen family, and Zhen Shiyin's renunciation, the first half of the first chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions" would indeed not be brilliant enough.

The reader's response this time was extremely poor for "Dream of Red Mansions", and what caused all this was the final layout arrangement of the editorial department, or rather, the arrangement of the president.

In fact, after Smoking Gun got the manuscript of "Dream of Red Mansions", he even thought that the influence of this work would far exceed the sensation caused by "Broken Chapter" before.

I don't know if Jiang Daoli would blame himself if he knew the results of the reader's investigation.

After all, it was the editorial department's improper arrangement of the layout that caused the readers' bad reviews. At the beginning, in front of Jiang Daoli, the smoking gun was given 8 pages in length.

According to the results of this issue, the next issue ...... The president should not allow "Dream of Red Mansions" to be published again, and even if it does, it will not be 5 pages anymore, maybe one page or two?

You can't just let this work die like this. The cigarette gun was unwilling, picked up the mobile phone, and made a call.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xue Liang received a call from the editorial department of "Jinghua Reader". As he expected, he spent more than half a year sorting out the ideas, the huge world view, and the world he built with his pen to cut the world, and achieved success.

Although he knew that the readers were unanimously praised, he hadn't had time to read this issue of "Jinghua Reader" because of the meeting during the day, and even when he returned home just now.

Sitting on the sofa, Xue Liang opened this issue of "Jinghua Reader".

It wasn't until he saw the pages of the novels that he learned that another work in this issue of the magazine, the novel from a new writer, was called "Dream of Red Mansions".

Xue Liang knew in his heart that the editorial department had promised to give a rookie writer 8 pages, but because he had to put down 10 pages, the rookie only had 5 pages left.

Xue Liang is a person whose eyes are above the top, and his personality can be seen from the wild character of a character in his writing.

Dream of Red Mansions? Xue Liang slightly flipped through this novel that grabbed the layout with himself.

After reading it, Xue Liang's feelings were a little inexplicable.

What the hell is this writing about? Is Sun Man, the editor-in-chief of "Jinghua Reader", full of brains? Grab space for something like this and me, a level 6 writer?

Xue Liang flipped through the pages of Dream of Red Mansions with some disdain.
