Chapter 80: A long-term perspective
Internet writers are actually a very strange group, and this strange is not a derogatory term.
Most of the online writers have low educational qualifications and small social circles, typical keyboard warriors and sullen men. So not long after Qin Ge's words in the group came out, this passage was moved to the forum as it was.
"The Wizard Responds to the Traditional Writer Changkong: Online Novels Can Write the Depth of Traditional Literature Equally!"
"It can be seen from "The Best Son" that the male witch is good at Xiaobaiwen, and the text is not refined, so I am not very optimistic about what he said."
The author of this post should be an author in the group, although he did not take a screenshot, but he wrote out Qin Ge's speech in the group in great detail in text.
The following message exceeded 100 in an instant.
"Although I admire that the wizard can write such a hot book in his first book, I still remain skeptical about his words, after all, there is still a big difference between traditional literature and online novels."
"If it's like writing an online novel, I'm definitely in favor of a wizard, but when a wizard says this, his tone is indeed a bit big."
Most of the comments are like this, the users of the Longkong forum have their own ideas, and they will judge a thing for themselves.
Although they admired Qin Ge for being so popular in one book, they also didn't think that Qin Ge could play with traditional literature across borders, although they all used words to pile up a story, but the two had a core and essential difference.
When Qin Ge visited the forum, he saw these posts discussing what he said in the QQ group, and he was also a little speechless.
"Dididi!"
QQ rang, Qin Ge opened it and took a look, it was Wutong......
Sycamore: "You want to open a new book?" What type? β
Qin Ge: "I do have this idea, but it's just a short story, written for fun." β
Sycamore: "Short? Are you going to write entities? β
Qin Ge: "No, it's still an online novel carrier." β
Since Wutong took the initiative to ask, Qin Ge didn't hide it, and it just so happened that he also had some ideas and wanted to talk to Wutong.
"A short story of a web novel carrier?" Wutong was on the other end of the computer, looking at Qin Ge's typing, and couldn't help frowning.
"Yes, I have some other ideas about this novel, it is about website promotion."
Wutong said: "If you open a new book, the website will definitely promote it vigorously, and you don't have to worry about this." β
Qin Ge said: "The total number of words in this book is about 150,000 words, so I hope to be able to put it on the shelves when the third chapter of this book is released." β
Wutong's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "150,000 words? Is it too little? β
Qin Ge said: "You should have also seen that post on the forum, right?" What I'm going to write this time is a short story, so the number of words will definitely not be too much, and what I'm writing this time is more inclined to the physical aspect, so the main expression is a spirit. 150,000 words is already a long novel in traditional literature. β
Wutong sighed and said, "Are you planning to gamble with that sky?" β
Wutong is actually not optimistic about the novel of only 150,000 words that Qin Ge said, he has been an editor for several years, and he has a very deep understanding of online novels, and he also has a lot of personal opinions on traditional literature.
Online literature and traditional literature, although they are both literature, are really not comparable. People who write online novels suddenly write traditional novels, and that kind of spiritually deep-rooted thinking and writing techniques cannot be changed by saying that they can be changed.
But the decision is up to Qin Ge, and judging from Qin Ge's previous styles, no matter how much he says, Qin Ge won't listen to it.
"Well, I respect your opinion, and I'll talk to the editor-in-chief about it. But the result, I can't promise you. β
After the conversation ended, Wutong immediately went to the editor-in-chief and told the editor-in-chief about the matter.
The editor-in-chief also had a headache after listening to it, what to write is not good, so he has to write a semi-Internet and semi-traditional novel.
Countless facts have proved that traditional novels are inaccessible to readers of online novels.
The editor-in-chief rubbed his forehead, and called the editor-in-chief Linhai again, and after listening to the editor-in-chief's words, Linhai said: "Give him the best recommendation, if it is only 150,000 words, it will be completed in two months at most, and according to the hand speed of the wizard, I am afraid it will be completed in less than a month." Sue him, from the beginning of the book to the end of the book, give him the best recommendation of the website, the most powerful recommendation. β
The editor-in-chief thought that the editor-in-chief Linhai would be entangled and hesitant, but he didn't expect him to agree so happily.
"Linhai, have you thought it through?" The editor-in-chief pondered for a few seconds and said: "Short stories, there is no possibility of any fire at all, and they are biased towards traditional literature. β
Lin Haidao: "What I value is the wizard's ability to write online novels, but since he is willing to give it a try, let him try, we can do this, so that he can have a sense of belonging to our website, and even if there are other websites to poach him in the future, he will take into account the trust of the website in him this time." β
The editor-in-chief didn't expect Linhai to think so far ahead, and said, "Okay, then I know." β
Lin Haidao: "By the way, when promoting, remember to add that five-star traditional writer Changkong." β
The editor-in-chief was stunned for a moment and said, "Add him in?" β
"Well, it's a gimmick, and then Weibo will also run it...... Well, in fact, there is no need to operate too much, since the wizard has decided to open a book, this is a gimmick in itself, and it is estimated that it will not take a few days for the wizard to open a new book to accept the challenge of the sky, and the news will spread all over Weibo. β
"This, will the wizard agree?" The editor-in-chief was worried.
Linkai said: "I'll go talk to him." β
After Linhai hung up the phone, he contacted Qin Ge.
On QQ, Qin Ge looked at Linhai who suddenly sent a message to him, and Linhai's straightforward questioning, and knew that it must be the conversation he had just had with Wutong, which had been known by Linhai.
"Wizard, the website will give you the most publicity, from the opening of the book to the completion of the book."
Qin Ge was really surprised, he couldn't imagine that Linhai would believe in him so much. Qin Ge was still young after all, and he couldn't immediately guess Linhai's true purpose.
"Thank you."
Linhai said: "This website is also a beneficiary, you don't have to thank me." β
Websites are also beneficiaries? Qin Ge was a little stunned, could it be that Linhai believed that he could write a popular novel so much?
No, Linhai is the editor-in-chief of the Creation World website, and it is impossible for him not to understand the truth that even Wutong understands. Could it be that he believes in his new book like that?
Without waiting for Qin Ge to think too much, Lin Hai suddenly asked, "Witch, do you have confidence in this new book?" β
Qin Ge said: "Yes." β
"Did you want to write this book because of the challenge on Changkong's Weibo?"
Qin Ge did not deny it, there was indeed this reason, and this reason accounted for the majority, if he said no, it would be too hypocritical, so Qin Ge directly admitted: "Yes." β
Lin Haidao: "If you think it's okay, I hope you can officially respond to him on Weibo." Once you've responded, it's a great way to get the word out for both our website and your new book. β
Lin Hai said very directly, without beating around the bush, which made Qin Ge very applicable, at least he didn't deliberately hide anything, and he didn't say too many sanctimonious words.
Qin Ge thought for a while and said, "Yes." β
