Changing a pen name doesn't seem like a very wise idea to many people.

Why?

Because now the name "Xiao Fei" has almost become a golden sign in the publishing industry, and it also has a huge market appeal among readers.

Changing a new pen name is equivalent to a new beginning, and it requires the quality of the content of the book to fight a bloody way out of thousands of newly published books.

It's a lot of work.

But Xiao Fei still has to change his name.

He did so for several reasons.

First, Xiao Fei's large size, he intends to carry the so-called serious masterpiece with thickness and depth, and cannot be regarded as a basket that can be loaded into anything casually. Well, that is, the name is his representative image in pure circles.

Second, many of the best-selling books in his memory are very down-to-earth popular books and Internet masterpieces, and it seems more appropriate to use another pen name to publish these works.

Third, as for the consideration of sales, Xiao Fei believes that the initial sales may have a certain impact, and there will be less initial outbreak than hanging under his own large name, but a good book is a good book, as long as people who have read it say it is good, then the book will gradually become popular and win the recognition of more and more readers.

Then his new pseudonym will become another golden sign.

The so-called three holes of cunning rabbits, Xiao Fei also has to work hard for himself to prevent future variables.

What kind of pen name do you get?

Xiao Fei thought about it. I think it's still a little more quaint, a little more traditional, and it looks a little more connotative, and it can be used to last longer.

He gave himself a new pen name called "Dream Pen Zhai Master".

Liu Zelai also thinks that this name is good. He joked that it looked like an artifact that had been buried in the soil for hundreds of years.

Well, what to write?

Xiao Fei thought of two books.

Both are related to Journey to the West, one is called "The Legend of Wukong" and the other is "Diary of a Sand Monk".

"The Legend of Wukong" is very famous, and this book will be serialized on Sina in 1998, and it will soon arouse the popularity and praise of netizens.

After publication in 2000. "The Legend of Wukong" also set off a frenzy in China, at that time. It is sold in almost all major bookstores and bookstalls.

"The Legend of Wukong" is known as the first divine book on the mainland network.

The author became famous in one fell swoop.

Compared with "The Legend of Wukong", "Diary of a Sand Monk" is a funny route. In the tone of a sand monk and from the nonsensical perspective of modern people, this book uses the form of a diary to re-subvert and interpret a series of funny things about Tang monks and apprentices on the journey to the west.

The author Lin Changzhi also relied on this book to become popular in China. A lot of funny books have been published in the future.

But there is no doubt that "Diary of a Sand Monk" is still the most successful work in the history of his hilarious creation.

Two books, one with Sun Wukong as the pig's foot, and the other with Sha Monk as the narrator, Xiao Feixin said, this time I really fell in love with Journey to the West.

Xiao Fei knows that these two books can be said to be influenced by the movie "Journey to the West".

In the late 90s, it was the time when "Journey to the West" gradually became popular and sought after in the mainland. As far as Xiao Fei knows. The video hall in the county is shown every day.

At this time, it is timely to launch "The Legend of Wukong" and "Diary of a Sand Monk".

Xiao Fei is a person who does what he thinks.

In the afternoon of the same day, it was in the general manager's office. Xiao Fei held a purple clay pot in his hand and stood next to Liu Bei, while Liu Bei sat in front of the computer and opened a new word document.

Liu Bei was nervous.

She didn't know why she was so nervous.

With her fingers on the keyboard, she pricked up her ears and almost held her breath. Waiting to listen to Xiao Fei's dictation.

This is the first time Liu Bei has typed in this way. She was amazed that she had never heard of it. Someone writes a book in the form of an oral lecture.

Thinking about reading her essay word by word, she felt embarrassed.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Fei asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Liu Bei nodded.

"Then let's get started." Xiao Fei said.

Xiao Fei raised the purple clay pot and took a sip, and began to dictate: "The title of the book is "The Legend of Wukong", author: the master of Mengbi Zhai, the first chapter. ”

"The four of them walked here, and there was a dense forest in front of them, and there was no road again."

"'Goku, I'm hungry, find something to eat.'" Tang Seng sat down on the stone and said. ”

"I'm busy, won't you look for it yourself? …… It's not that there are no legs. "Sun Wukong said with a stick ......"

Xiao Fei began to dictate.

He was straight and round, trying to spit out a single word cleanly.

As he read, he paid attention to the words typed out by Liu Bei.

At this glance, he found that this girl is really spiritual, the handling of the title and pen name, and the paragraphs of the text are very clear and clear.

Listening to the sound of typing is not intuitive than looking at the document and typing, and there are many homophones in Chinese, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes.

But Liu Bei's typing out words was like flowing water, and not a single word was wrong.

It's so rare.

So, Xiao Fei began to speed up the dictation.

Isn't the reason why he has to dictate instead of typing himself because it seems to greatly increase the speed of the codeword? And it also seems to be a little less effortless.

He spoke at a rapid pace, spitting out nearly 300 words per minute.

And Liu Bei's ten fingers flew and tapped on the keyboard, and lines of text quickly appeared on the screen. It turned out that Xiao Fei said that wherever he spoke, Liu Bei immediately entered the text into the document.

Xiao Fei spoke quickly for ten minutes, then eased his breath and drank saliva to moisten his throat, he knew that saying so many words was very bad for his throat.

And with such a slowdown, Liu Bei can also take a break and slow down.

That's it, Xiao Fei said ten minutes, rest for one minute.

Even so, after an hour, a manuscript of more than 15,000 words was "written".

In an hour, he wrote more than 14,000 words, which is not a little bit faster, but more than four times the fastest writing speed of Xiao Fei.

The book "The Legend of Wukong" has a total of 20 chapters serialized on the Internet, with less than 100,000 words.

But some versions have even expanded to about 150,000 words.

What Xiao Fei plans to copy out now is an expanded version. 150,000 words, six hours a day, can be written in more than a day.

Xiao Fei was overjoyed, and said in his heart, this is called picking up a treasure.

With Liu Bei, it only takes him a day or two to "write" a book. Of course, his throat will be very tired, and Liu Bei will also be very tired physically and mentally.

"How? Tired? Xiao Fei asked Liu Bei with concern.

Liu Bei shook her head: "I'm not tired, I'm used to it." ”

"Oh, so let's continue?"

"Okay."

For the rest of the time, until the end of work, Xiao Fei was frantically dictating, and Liu Bei was recording quickly, her hands flashing as if she was cramping.

By the time they got off work at six o'clock, the two worked together and wrote 60,000 words in four hours.

ps: The third update, seriously, I haven't read the subscription for a long time, I'm afraid that I will be discouraged after reading it, and I can't write anymore. Everyone, subscribe to everything you can, and don't let my passion disappear little by little. (To be continued)
