Chapter Ninety-Six: Innovations in Horror Novels
Li Kuo soon got the specific news. This time, Dong Qi didn't just talk about meeting himself, but also one or two other authors who wrote similar supernatural texts.
Li Kuo was not surprised, people like Dong Qi wanted to chat with a few juniors, and they would definitely be willing.
After agreeing on the time, Li Kuo also prepared a little.
In fact, there is nothing to prepare, after all, if Li Kuo has anything more accessible, it should be a memory from another time and space, and he knows something different from this time and space.
When the time comes, it will also provide a little new perspective.
Soon, Li Kuo came to the place where he had made an appointment with Dong Qi.
This is the headquarters of East Poster.
The place where "East Poster" is located is a super building with more than 30 floors, and here is the "China Poster Industry Group"
The headquarters is located.
Li Kuo checked in with the security guard downstairs.
"Mr. Li, please!"
After checking the information, the security guard found that there was indeed such a person as Li Kuo who was coming, and he also said to Li Kuo respectfully.
Li Kuo went directly to the twenty-fifth floor, passed through the lattice-like office, and came to the innermost room.
Li Kuo was Dong Qi at first sight, because it was too obvious...... At first glance, he looked like an old intellectual, wearing glasses, with a square appearance, gray hair but very proper, and meticulously dressed clothes.
What's more, Li Kuo returned his photo before, so he recognized him instantly.
In front of Dong Qi, there was also a young man, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and two middle-aged people, several of whom were now with strict faces, and the focus of their eyes was Dong Qi in the middle.
Li Kuo knocked on the open door, and the eyes of several people in the room were attracted by him, and Dong Qi showed a little smile on the corner of his mouth and beckoned at Li Kuo.
Dong Qi said: "You are Li Kuo, right?" ”
"Well, Mr. Dong, hello!"
Li Kuo said.
Li Kuo found that the middle-aged man sitting on the far left kept smiling at him, as if the two were already very familiar, and for politeness, Li Kuo also smiled at him.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Li Kuo who wrote "Notes on Tomb Robbery"!"
Dong Qi said with a smile.
Several other people were a little surprised: Dong Qi, an old-timer, could introduce Li Kuo in this way, which shows that he is still quite broad.
"He is my former student Zhou Yidong, and now he has written a novel called "Room 13", and he has also sold some before."
Dong Qi said to the middle-aged man on the far left.
"Hello."
Zhou Yidong and Li Kuo nodded and smiled, and Li Kuo responded.
"He is the author of our newspaper now, and his pen name is Kaitu."
Dong Qi then introduced the young man.
It's the same greeting.
"This is our current editor, you may know him."
Dong Qi introduced another middle-aged man to Li Kuo, which made Li Kuo more strange, because he obviously didn't know this person.
"Who are you?"
Li Kuo was uncertain, but still asked tentatively.
"My pen name is Ye Xing!"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Now I am the editor-in-chief of the novel section of "East Poster"......"
"Oh! It's you! ”
Li Kuo laughed, then he did know that this Ye Xing was the author who jumped out and took a screenshot and slapped Zhang Jifeng's face when Zhang Jifeng was pretending to be forced in the author group of Xinya.com.
At that time, Li Kuo was still thinking about whether there was any way to repay him.
Ye Xing also wrote a novel called "Sin" on Xinya.com, which is also a horror and suspense novel.
"Hello! I didn't expect to see a real person here today. ”
Li Kuo smiled and said, "I don't know yet, it turns out that you are an editor." ”
"I went to Sprout.com to write a novel, and at that time, a big reason was that I felt that the influence of print media was declining, and Sprout.com was a website with a close combination of modern online literature and tradition, so I thought I could find something."
Li Kuo nodded.
At this time, Dong Qi opened his mouth and said: "Li Kuo, please take a trip, and these three are all suspense and horror novels, and I want to do a project now, and I also want to know some content in this area, so I will call everyone over to communicate." ”
Several people nodded, and Li Kuo also understood what Dong Qi meant by shouting himself, and the expression on his face did not change much, and he only nodded.
"Mr. Dong, I think that our current horror novel market is facing the problem of highly homogeneous content."
At this time, the pen name Zhou Yidong said: "I feel that horror novels are just those routines written and written, and nothing new can be played, and the audience is also aesthetically tired, and they can almost guess the ending after that." ”
Dong Qi just called them to talk about this, so now it quickly got into the topic.
At this time, the young man named Kaitu also said: "I feel the same way, so some people say that horror and suspense novels have begun to decline a little now, and may be more difficult in the future." ”
Dong Qi nodded slightly.
Ye Xing didn't speak.
Dong Qi suddenly turned his gaze to Li Kuo at this time, and then said: "Li Kuo, we can basically say that your "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is the most outstanding in recent suspense novels so far...... Whether it's in terms of grades or influence, it's okay, how did you make this novel attractive? ”
Several other people also shifted their gazes, especially Ye Xing, who had anticipation in his eyes.
Li Kuo frowned slightly, and then said: "Actually, there are not too many, that is, the old three, they are all written in a way that has been handed down, and strive to make the suspense sufficient, and then try to be as exciting as possible in the story design, as for the book "Tomb Robbery Notes", it is actually a new bottle of old wine, and the core of the story is still the same. ”
Dong Qi nodded slightly, Li Kuo, this young man is not bad.
Not humble or arrogant, and able to say things.
At this time, the Kaitu said to Li Kuo: "But I think it's too difficult for a novel to discover something new!" So far, the novels we can write have basically been written, and it is almost impossible to innovate, and your "Tomb Robbery Notes" should only be a flash of inspiration, and you will definitely not be able to write new things if you are asked to write new things! And the core of the story you said, it still returns to our original question, which is not about who can innovate, but who can write better, that's all! ”
The bunch of words that Kaitu said was a little emotional, Li Kuo smiled secretly in his heart, this guy's words were still a little prickly, not that he wanted to fix himself, but he was a little unconvinced.
Luckily, he's from another plane, and he has a lot of stuff on his head.
