Zhang Wei is only 19 years old this year, but he has been working on CCTV International for two years. There have been many people who envy him for this job, after all, it is CCTV, a state-owned enterprise, and an iron rice bowl! However, the boring work had worn out the last bit of his patience in the space of two years. Zhang Wei is determined to resign and change jobs!

Just when Zhang Wei was actively preparing for this qiē, he accidentally saw a message on the Internet: Daxia Original Chinese Network will open an online writer training course from November 11 to 13, and the training course instructor Chen Yuan and counselor Chen Wancheng!

Online Writer Training Course? For the first time, Zhang Wei knew that there was such a training class. The world is really full of wonders. If there was no Chen Yuan behind this message, Zhang Wei would probably laugh it off.

As a loyal reader of "The Sealed Demon", Zhang Wei is not unfamiliar with the name Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan will serve as the instructor of the training class, which makes Zhang Wei, who thinks that he has some writing skills, want to participate in the training class.

Even if this online writer training class is not of any use, it is good to be able to meet Chen Yuan himself. It was with this thought in mind that Zhang Wei took a leave from the unit, and then embarked on the trip alone.

After reporting at the front desk of Qingyun Entertainment, Zhang Wei was arranged to stay in a small hotel nearby.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wei came to the venue of the training class - the lecture hall of Qingyun No. 1 Middle School. He was surprised to find that there were really a lot of people who came to participate in this online writer training class, and the lecture hall that could accommodate 500 people was actually full. Most of these people are young people around 20 years old, more men than women

Zhang Wei roughly swept it and found that there were really a few beautiful girls among them. Especially the one next to him, who actually gave him a feeling of a small jasper, and the other party had an intellectual beauty, and the beauty was intoxicating.

The two introduced each other, and Zhang Wei learned that the other party's name was Ren Haiyan and was from Hanzhong, Shaanxi. He is currently a sophomore at Kyoto University's Guanghua School of Management. Zhang Wei really couldn't imagine that the short-haired little girl next to her was still a top student! Kyoto University is one of the top three universities in the country, and many people can't get in! But such a high-achieving student actually came to participate in the online writer training class? In Zhang Wei's opinion, this is really inexplicable.

"Why did you come to this course?" Zhang Wei asked the question in his heart.

"Curious," Ren Haiyan smiled brightly, and said, "I have read Mr. Chen's "Sealing Demons" and "Rise of the Last Days", and I feel very good. They are very different from the kind of novels that are popular on the market today, and the story is very strong and fascinating. I love this type of novel very much. I happened to see him say that he was going to hold a training class, so I came. By the way, what about you? ”

"It's also curious," Zhang Wei said with a wry smile, "I work behind the scenes on CCTV radio, which is very boring and boring." I usually pass the time by reading novels. "Sealing the Demon" is my spiritual food, if it weren't for it, I would have quit a long time ago! ”

……

In the lecture hall, more than 500 people whispered. There are acquaintances and strangers, but this does not hinder the communication between each other in the slightest. The vast majority of the people who gather here are Chen Yuan's book fans, and a small number of them are here to join in the fun. For example, last year's emerging author of the year, Du Wenwu.

The reason why Du Wenwu participated in this training class was completely to watch the play. In his opinion, Chen Yuan is young and lacks cultural background, so where is he qualified to serve as a training class instructor? Du Wenwu also wants to see what the so-called "Internet writer" is.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Yuan, Chen Wanyu, and Sun Li stepped on the point and walked into the lecture hall on time.

Chen Yuan appeared for the first time, and the venue burst into warm applause. Zhang Wei clapped his hands vigorously, his face excited. This excitement perfectly expressed his feelings when he first met Chen Yuan, the author of "The Sealed Demon". Ren Haiyan next to her was relatively calm, but from her eyes flashing with different colors, it could be seen that her mood was not as calm as it seemed.

The applause rang out for five minutes before it faded away.

Counselor Chen Wanyu finished his opening remarks, and then handed the microphone to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan sat on the rostrum and said to the more than 500 trainees of the training class: "Online novel is an emerging genre of fiction, which has emerged with the rapid development of the Internet. It is characterized by free style, unlimited style, relatively simple way of publishing and reading, and the main genres are mostly fantasy and romance. There are broad and narrow senses of online novels, and in a broad sense, they can include all novels published and circulated on the Internet, but from the narrow sense of the origin of online novels, it mainly refers to the form of novels created by online writers and published online for the first time, and then circulated. ”

"At present, online novels are in their infancy, and they are also the most precious period. City Golden Book House Book Road Dolemi Chinese Net Banyan Tree*, these websites are concentrated and spread of online novels, but they are loosely structured, including not only online novels, but also prose poetry and so on. Our Daxia Original Chinese Network is the world's largest original novel base! We only sign up to publish web novels! Daxia Original Chinese Network will become a creative platform for countless novel authors. The author of the novel is responsible for the creation and publication, and the website is responsible for the sales profit. The author and the website will achieve a win-win situation! ”

At that moment, a long-haired girl raised her hand.

Chen Yuan was surprised, but he didn't expect that before the official lecture began, some people had already had questions. He pointed to the girl and said, "If you have any questions, you can speak freely and without restraint." ”

The long-haired girl nodded, she stood up excitedly, and said, "Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Zou Le." As you just mentioned, there are now quite a few stations, such as the City Golden Book House. But as far as I know, the profitability of these sites is limited, some are barely able to stay afloat, and some are in the red for a long time. You said to achieve a win-win situation, but I don't know how? ”

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said: "There are many ways to make money on the website, such as advertising revenue, paid reading, copyright sales, etc. As long as the novels you create have an audience and readers, you will get income. At present, the website has signed 15 online writers, and the website will pay these authors in the form of buyout. ”

"So the site is currently losing money, right?" Zou Le stuck out his tongue.

Chen Yuan said sincerely: "That's right, and the website will be in a state of loss for a long time in the future." We also want to make a profit, but it's not the time yet. The cake of online novels is still too small, and we can only divide the cake if we make it bigger first. Okay, back to the point, this morning's lesson is mainly to explain to you a genre of web novels - through the stream! ”

The more than 500 students in the venue all pricked up their ears, and the online novel was still divided into genres? Almost all of them heard this for the first time, so they listened attentively and attentively.

"Huang Yi's "Quest for Qin" can be used as a representative of the crossing stream. It tells the story of Xiang Shaolong, an elite of special forces, who returned to the Warring States more than 2,000 years ago by time shuttle. In order to return to the future, Xiang Shaolong decided to find Yingzheng, who had not succeeded to the throne at that time and was still under house arrest in Zhao State, to help him establish a great career. ”

Chen Yuan swept the stage casually and continued: "The focus of the crossing stream is on the word crossing. As an author, you can completely let your protagonist travel to the world you want to go to, such as the world of mythology, the world of movies, the world of animation, the world of novels, and so on. As long as you dare to think, nothing is impossible. Because in the world of creation, you are God, you are omnipotent! This is also the most magical part of the creation itself. ”

At this moment, a young man with a flat head raised his hand. At Chen Yuan's motion, the young man stood up and said, "Hello Mr. Chen, I am Wei Lijun from Shenyang, Liaoning. I have also read Master Huang Yi's "Searching for Qin". At that time, I had the idea of creating a similar work, but because of some things, it was delayed. Now that I've listened to your explanation, I've got the urge to write again. Master Huang Yi can make the protagonist travel to the Warring States Period, so can I let my protagonist travel to the Three Kingdoms and Ming Dynasty? ”

"That's a good question," Chen Yuan nodded approvingly, and then said, "The Three Kingdoms is an era of wars and chaos, with separatist forces, heroes and beauties, heroes and beauties, and picturesque rivers and mountains. You can recruit historical celebrities, such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Liaodian, Wei Xu Chu. You can store the eternal beauty, such as Diao Chan Cai Yan Zhen Mi Xiao Qiao, you can sit on the country, you can be angry at the crown for the red face, that is an era where you can do whatever you want......"

One remark made all the more than 500 students in Taiwan enthusiastic, and even girls like Ren Haiyan and Zou Le fantasized about traveling through history, meeting with Mei Zhoulang, and confronting Zhi Zhuge for a while.

After talking about the Three Kingdoms, Chen Yuan talked about the Ming Dynasty again.

"As a dynasty in the period of decline of China's feudal system, the Ming Dynasty had many shortcomings: the emperor was not high, the eunuchs were autocratic, the harem was in politics, and there were eight shares of scholars, all of which were scourges. However, during this period, China still ranked first in the world in terms of comprehensive strength by virtue of its previous family background. The military system and tactical system of the Ming Dynasty was the most advanced in the world at that time, and it had a strong economy as a support, and the world's armies were gathered at that time, and the Ming Dynasty could not be consumed in 10 years. There is no harmony between the Han and Tang dynasties, no two Song Dynasty coins, the Son of Heaven is the gate of the country, and the monarch is dead. If you travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty, with your familiarity with historical knowledge, you can completely assist Chongzhen to carry forward the Ming Dynasty, or directly overthrow Chongzhen, peasant uprising, and establish a new Han Empire! ”

Wei Lijun, who was sitting on the stage, moved in his heart after hearing this, if he traveled to the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and traveled to the reign of Renxuan, Hongzhi, Zhongxing, Yongle and prosperity, would it be possible to gain fame and fame, and even get a prince to be a prince?

Chen Yuan concluded: "Traveling to all dynasties, such novels can be summarized as one kind: alternate history. As the name suggests, it is based on a small amount of historical data to create a fictional new historical world. You can travel to the Three Kingdoms to recruit troops and conquer cities, or you can travel to the Ming Dynasty to test the Bagu Wen as an official. After all, this is not a rigorous orthodox historical novel, as long as you have a small amount of historical information, you can arrange a path to the peak of life for the protagonist according to your own ideas! ”

……

Chen Yuan spoke for an hour and a half, but his mouth was dry, and then he stopped and drank two sips of water. Chen Wanyu then started the lecture, mainly talking about the operation plan of the website and the welfare of the contracted authors. Sun Li sat next to Chen Yuan, writing and drawing in her hands, and sorted out and recorded the content of Chen Yuan's teaching. These things will be placed in the author's background on the website, and the website author will be able to read the text and understand the content of the entire course.

This morning's lecture was on crossing the stream, and Chen Yuan was speaking for the first three hours, and more than 500 students from Taiwan could ask questions at any time when they encountered questions that they did not understand. The last hour was a free question session. In the face of the students' strange questions, Chen Yuan knew that there were all kinds of words, and there were some questions that even he, a reborn person, felt tricky.

In the afternoon, Chen Yuan used the huge world view of "Sealing the Demon" as a guide, and talked about "torrents". The pioneer of the torrent is "Buddha is the Way", which dreams of the divine machine. However, at present, this novel has not yet appeared, so Chen Yuan naturally can't talk about it. In a guided way, Chen Yuan connected the mythical stories of Pangu Kaitian, Nuwa Creating People, Sanqing Sage, Killing Gods, Journey to the West, and the Legend of the White Snake, which brought the students an extraordinary shock!

After talking about the "Torrent Stream", Chen Yuan talked about the "Tomb Robbery Stream", "National Art Stream", "Mecha Stream", "Phantom Beast Stream", "Xianxia Stream", "Interstellar Stream", "Online Game Stream", "Fantasy Stream", "Xiuzhen Stream", "Infinite Stream" and "Apocalyptic Stream".

A total of 13 online novel genres were told by Chen Yuan to more than 500 students in turn in the past three days.

This online writer training course is a milestone in the history of online novels. From this batch of students, there are too many famous online novel artists. They are not inferior to those traditional writers, earn more remuneration, and are more famous! As the instructor of this training class, Chen Yuan has also been crowned as a patriarch since then. The ancestor of the mecha flow faction, the tomb robbery faction, the patriarch of the sect of national arts, and so on. Although Chen Yuan never wrote a novel about mecha tomb robbery and national arts, in order to show respect for him, those real patriarchs still gave up their names to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan became the first person in online novels! The undisputed first!

Of course, Chen Yuan would not have thought of these at this time. At the end of the first online writer training course, many students have already returned home after receiving the round-trip expenses provided by the company, but some people still stayed. These people who stayed were specially explained by Chen Yuan.

When Zhang Wei got the news, he was a little stunned, he didn't understand why he was named and retained.

When Zhang Wei saw Chen Yuan again, his mood was inexplicably calm.

Chen Yuan glanced at Zhang Wei carefully, then smiled faintly and said, "In the past three days, I have told you about the 13 genres of online novels, and I have also talked about many methods and skills of novel creation. I know you have a good foundation, do you have any creative inspiration and ideas now? ”

This......

Zhang Wei really had some inspiration, he scratched his head and said: "I want to write a fantasy novel, mainly about a lazy teenager who inadvertently took the light magic that no one cares about, and becomes the story of the legendary great mage step by step." With his efforts, the Eastern and Western Continents were merged into one, and the entire continent was no longer divided into races, and he became the son of light for future generations. The general background of the novel is this......"

Talking about his novel ideas, Zhang Wei gushed endlessly.

Chen Yuan smiled, but did not interrupt the other party. Until Zhang Wei clearly described his novel concept. Chen Yuan nodded at this time and asked seriously, "What is the name of this novel?" Children of Light? ”

"Children of Light? Yes, it fits the topic very well. Zhang Wei agreed.

"And what pseudonym are you going to use?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"Uh......" Zhang Wei had difficulty choosing, he smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I have written on the Internet before, and I have used several pen names, the Tang family, the Tang family, the Tang family, the Tang family, the Tang family, the Tang family, the Tang family, the Tang family, Next, maybe the Tang family should be used. If it doesn't work, the Tang family will be six and the Tang family will be seven young......"

"Why don't you use the three young people of the Tang family?" The smile in Chen Yuan's eyes was even worse.

"What?" Zhang Wei asked in surprise, "Why do you want to choose three less?" ”

Chen Yuan laughed and said, "Do you like to drink soy milk?" Every time you drink soy milk, you like sugar plus three spoonfuls? ”

Zhang Wei touched his head, speechless. This is definitely not his hobby and habit, what sugar with three spoonfuls? It's really idiotic behavior, but the pen name of Tang Sanshao is really good, and it sounds very tasteful.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wei decided to use the name of the Tang family's three youths! (To be continued.) )
