Chapter 042 The Second Book of Strategic Significance
December 23, sleet.
After Chang Zheng got up, he went straight to Songzhou Computer City and spent 4,500 yuan to buy a new laptop and a 4G Internet card. The hotel has a network cable, and it doesn't hurt to have a 4G Internet card, so you can park on the side of the road and access the Internet.
He was ready to stay in Songzhou for a while. Yesterday, Yang Kai said that on January 3 next year, Fenghua.com will hold a 2288 annual awards meeting in Songzhou.
The year 2288 is this year. Winners and works that perform well this year will receive relevant awards. At that time, the senior management of Fenghua.com, all kinds of writers of Fenghua.com, relevant brother enterprises and media in the industry will attend. Chang Zheng wants to participate in this award party, this kind of super large dungeon, the cooldown time is one year, and it is a perfect time to brush up on equipment and prestige, of course you have to go.
Besides, Chang Zheng has already won two awards, "Most Popular New Author of the Year" and "Most Popular Science Fiction Work of the Year". He is the winner, he has to come to the stage to accept the award, and he is obliged to attend this awards gala.
It should be said that Chang Zheng has basically won the above two awards, and 99.99% of them have been won. There is still a week left this year, and statistically, it is almost impossible to overtake him in second place. Yang Kai said that the trophies and certificates had been done for him, and many things had to be prepared in advance. Of course, the trophy and certificate for the second place are also ready, and if the second place place strikes back in the last week, the trophy and certificate will be awarded to the second place.
There are still a few days left before this year is over, and in fact, the awards have already been mastered. After fighting for a year, there is a theoretical chance, but in practice the possibility of a final comeback is very small.
So Chang Zheng didn't plan to go back to Nangang, so he took his notebook and ran back. Recently, there has been widespread precipitation and snowfall across the country, and the road conditions are bad, and there have been many highway traffic accidents in various places. In the past two days, the physical copyright of "Infinite Terror" has to be finalized, and after signing and painting, it is time for a few days to pass. Just stay in Songzhou, anyway, it's a trip.
The laptop is not expensive, more than 4,000 yuan, and there are more than 400,000 yuan in the standing bank card. He bought a computer to write a book, and he was ready to start writing the outline of "Evil Awe".
"Evil Awe" is an urban fantasy novel that was a smash hit. At that time, Chang Zheng was still working as a writer, and after reading "Evil Awe", he was deeply inspired and began to write his own urban fantasy novel. Of course, his level at that time was far from dance, and his urban novel was just mixed up and put on the shelves.
So Chang Zheng is very familiar with this book, and he remembers the main characters and plot. I can't forget it, which shows the high level of the story of the dance.
Why did you write "Evil Awe" in the second book? Chang Zheng became famous with "Infinite Horror" and established his position as a science fiction leader in one fell swoop. Why not keep writing science fiction?
In Fenghua.com, science fiction is unpopular after all. Although "Infinite Terror" has brought a sci-fi storm, the sci-fi category is still unable to fully fight against martial arts and urban genres. Freezing three feet, not a day's cold.
However, due to the popularity of "Infinite Terror", the popularity of science fiction has now surpassed historical novels, and the dying person who was inserted with a needle and infusion tube all over his body was cured of severe disability and could eat normally. The status quo of historical fiction has really been buried in the dust of history, no one cares, and the wheel of history has rusted and is difficult to turn.
Chang Zheng communicated with Yang Kai yesterday. Fenghua.com has to do customer research every quarter, and readers who like urban novels may go to see science fiction.
Many readers who are obsessed with traditional martial arts novels will not read science fiction novels, preferring to read historical novels. But they will go to read urban novels, and they will be the right to adjust, after all, urban novels are written about things around us, and the sense of substitution has an innate advantage. Of course, there are also readers who don't pick, what to eat, what to eat.
So a few months ago, when Chang Zheng started writing "Infinite Terror", half of his old readers ran away, they were all martial arts readers, and they didn't even click on "Infinite Terror". Those who stayed to continue to support Chang Zheng were completely die-hard, and Chang Zheng was very grateful to them.
The first battle, the "sci-fi battle", was fought beautifully. The militia organization led by the Chang Zheng Army, who was barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, fought bravely and grabbed a small hill.
Therefore, in terms of strategic policy, Chang Zheng decided to start the "urban campaign" in the second campaign, to take an important urban base area, to surround the city from the countryside, and to upgrade the civilian army to a regular army. This battle is very important, and its victory or defeat determines whether or not it can shift from strategic defense to strategic counteroffensive.
Chang Zheng's goal and expectation for "Evil Awe" is to continue to make money, continue to expand its influence, and continue to lead the wave of "new novels" to impact traditional novels. A strategic counteroffensive must be supported by a large and sufficient rear in order to cross the river and occupy the enemy's presidential palace in one fell swoop.
The audience in the city is huge, on par with martial arts.
The martial arts market is indeed a fragrant dumpling, but Chang Zheng can't eat it. Fantasy and Xianxia don't dare to write at the moment, so write about the traditional martial arts on the earth.
"Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, and the smiling book god leans on the blue mandarin", or "the peerless double arrogant Lu Xiaofeng, seven weapons Chu Liuxiang", Chang Zheng knows it by heart. But he couldn't write it. He can recite the story backwards, but he doesn't have the pen power of Jin Gu and can't copy it.
Besides, he wanted to promote the "New Novel Movement" and that the revolutionary path could not be wrong. Today, we will put a shot in call for democracy and republic, and tomorrow we will immediately put our hair in pigtails and carry out restoration, which is not in vain. If you have a road, you have to go to the end. Only a staunch revolutionary can achieve ultimate victory.
So after thinking about everything, Chang Zheng found a café near the headquarters of Fenghua.com, ordered a cup of coffee, established a document, and typed the words "Evil Awe-inspiring Outline".
Since there are people in "Infinite Terror" who follow suit, isn't Chang Zheng afraid that after "Evil Awe" becomes popular, there will also be people who follow suit? This is an urban fantasy theme. On Earth, urban abilities are a popular subject with a large audience. After the appearance of "Evil Awe-inspiring", the writers here followed, and all of a sudden they wrote about urban abilities all over the street, so how to carry out work in the future?
Don't be afraid, there are too many ideas, themes and subcategories of urban abilities, and the genre of "Evil and Awe-inspiring" is just one of them.
The golden finger of the urban ability is very important, that is, "anomaly" and "super".
There are many types of gold fingers for urban abilities, and there are many themes and elements, such as special treasures, magical spells, super powers, etc., and the subdivisions include system flow, carry-on flow, possession flow, plane flow, summoning flow, transformation clone flow, card flow, elixir flow, pet flow, and turning into a pet flow...... Too much.
Cooperate with farming, workplace, treasure appreciation, metaphysics, close-fitting, entertainment stars, gang rivers and lakes, and agent Wang ...... and other themes, matching gold fingers with related themes can derive a variety of writing methods. Each style of writing has a selling point.
So Chang Zheng dared to write "Evil Awe-inspiring", he was not afraid of others following the trend, but he also hoped that someone would follow suit. If the writers here can understand all the essentials of the urban ability, then Chang Zheng has no choice but to hehe. But it took time, and they couldn't figure out all the types of urban abilities in a short period of time.
On Earth, how many predecessors, how many years, how many times did it take to pounce on the streets, to perfect and grow the urban ability?
The gold finger of "Evil Awe" belongs to the special treasure type, and this special treasure is a magical ring that can change the luck of the protagonist.
In fact, "Evil Awe" has attracted so many readers, and the core is not the magical ring of the protagonist Xiao Wu, but his wonderful life with ups and downs. In fact, it is the characters and plot of this book, which is the core selling point.
This ring, which can change luck, played a certain role in the early stage, and it drove the plot progress in the early stage. Later, Wuda decisively scrapped the ring, because if it was allowed to continue, the book would be completed with 500,000 words. You don't have to do anything else every day, wear a ring to buy lottery tickets, and become a billionaire in a month. What else are you doing as Fang Nan's bodyguard and driver? How else is this book written?
The ring was later sealed and restricted. With one good fortune, a few days will be a bad luck. If you win five million today, you may be struck by lightning tomorrow. This is a branch of the law of conservation of energy, the law of conservation of luck.
So Xiao Wu no longer dared to use this ring to forcibly get good luck. From this point on, there is basically nothing to do in the whole book.
"Evil Awe" is an urban fantasy novel that does not rely on the golden finger, and the golden finger is just an embellishment and foil. So Chang Zheng decided to use it to open up the market for urban novels. This is an urban YY novel (Maida herself said), a classic YY novel.
"Okay, little fifth brother, bless me. I wish "Evil Awe-inspiring" a big sell! ”
Chang Zheng began to type, slowly writing the outline of "Evil Awe-inspiring" with his memories.
