Chapter 053: The Beginning of Evil
The reception room on the third floor of the headquarters of Fenghua.com. Chang Zheng and Yang Kai, Big Eye, Luo Kunpeng, and Lu Feifei were around a laptop, and they were discussing literary topics.
Yang Kai: "The four of us have all watched "Evil Awe", which of you has an opinion?" ”
None of the other three editors spoke.
Yang Kai: "Don't think you're editors, just treat you as ordinary readers." Let's talk about your most intuitive feelings after reading the first 30,000 words. There are four of us, old and young, male and female, ranging in age from twenty-two three to thirty-five sixteen, and we can basically represent the readers of the main consumer age group. Fei Fei, you are not the editor-in-charge, don't be afraid of anything, you can say it first. ”
Lu Feifei's face was slightly red, for some reason she always loved to blush, she said: "I think the plot is very exciting, the protagonist Xiao Wuge is very individual, a bit of a ruffian on the surface, but he is kind in his heart." It's like, it's a little bit of that ......."
"Haha, that's on point. That what? The description of the meat scene is too unrestrained, right? Hey, Fei Fei, it's actually okay. You are too simple, I think you are the most like Yan Di. Yang Kai said with a smile, he looked at Chang Zheng and gave a thumbs up: "You kid, it's catchy in the first chapter, it's wild enough!" What an evil beginning. Evil awe-inspiring, this name is well chosen! ”
When Lu Feifei heard the words "oral work", her face turned even redder, like a small apple.
Chang Zheng waved his hand in defense: "Editor-in-chief, the plot needs it." Besides, I've dealt with it very artistically and hazy, not explicit at all. ”
Yang Kai: "I understand. If you had dared to write a few more words, involving specific organs, we would not be sitting here in a meeting. I'll be the first to report you. Cangshen, you scourge no one, don't come to harm our Fenghua Net. I can only say that you have a good grasp of the scale.
Just like "Infinite Horror", the thing that fans hate you the most is that Brother Pao doesn't push it every time he pushes it halfway, and directly switches to the next copy. Book fans are very anxious, you describe the foreplay so sultry, but no matter how it ends, everyone has to be anxious with you, haha! ”
Chang Zheng spreads his hands and makes grievances. It's not that you are strict in managing it, so you don't let it go overboard.
Luo Kunpeng expressed his opinion: "Fei Fei is right, the first tens of thousands of words are very wonderful, compact, and fascinating. I read the outline, and the plot of the whole book is also very reasonable, which can be described as high chao. It's just that there are too many female characters, a few? Five, six, or seven or eight? Is Ni Duoduo the little fifth brother's woman? ”
Big Eyes: "That's not much. The Sword God has a book with a total of sixteen female characters. These sixteen have had a relationship with the protagonist. There are seven or eight more who have never had a relationship. It doesn't matter if there are many female characters, as long as they are well portrayed. The sword god has profound skills, and each female character is very individual, which is unforgettable.
Bright and yellow are two concepts. I can write a gorgeous taste and am horizontal. It is a crime to write it as a low-grade color qing. People like beautiful things, it's human instinct, unless he's blind. Beauty is, of course, also included in the category of good things. ”
Chang Zheng was unexpected, and the Sword God also wrote this kind of book? But it's nothing, Duan Yu and Wei Xiaobao are not also queens. The palace is full. Xiang Shaolong is even more. He nodded slightly to the big eyes, expressing sympathy.
"Well, you all have a point. Let me summarize the book "Evil Awe-inspiring". Yang Kai made a concluding speech: "After reading the first tens of thousands of words and outline, it can be said with certainty that this is an urban novel. I was a little surprised, I thought that the second book of the sky would continue to write science fiction. But I also appreciate the sky, don't eat the old book, and dare to innovate. Writing a novel requires an innovative spirit. Not only writing novels, but also any industry must innovate if it wants to continue to break through and develop. ”
Chang Zheng applauded and paid tribute to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai: "As a reader, but also as a professional editor, I am sure that the vast majority of urban novel readers will be unable to stop after reading the first tens of thousands of words of "Evil Awe-inspiring", and will continue to chase it. Cangtian's routine is probably like this, the beginning of the story is a little fragrant, the nightclub mommy's red lips blow the jade flute, glamorous but vulgar, absolutely attractive. Then there was a dispute, the ruffian bullied a good woman Yan Di to force Liang to become a prostitute. The protagonist Xiao Wu Brother acted bravely, fought wits and scoundrels, and staged a heroic rescue scene.
Although the hero saves the beauty scene has been performed countless times, it still has vitality and artistic appeal, and both male and female readers will not hate this kind of plot. Men see the blood, women see the moved, this is human nature. Besides, Cangtian handled it very well, and the old bridge section deduced a new chapter. Next, Xiao Wu and Yan Di met, and some small ambiguous episodes occurred, Yan Di helped Xiao Wu's room to clean up, scrub pants and pants or something. This kind of small detail creates an ambiguous atmosphere very well. Ambiguous, far more attractive than knocking down.
And then there's a new gadget, a magic ring that can change your luck. Cangtian starts from the point of view of brain waves to explain the phenomenon of luck. All I can say is that if only you could justify it, after all, this is a novel, not a scientific paper. Are those exaggerated exercises in martial arts novels true? The author can give the system he has set up, and if he doesn't contradict himself, the reader will believe that it is true. ”
Chang Zheng applauded again, applauding Yang Kai's professional vision.
Yang Kai continued: "I read the outline at the back, this is a novel with a very wonderful plot. Compared with previous urban novels, it has richer elements, a faster pace, and more frequent scene transitions. It's a bit of an action and feud movie. If this book can be completed according to this outline, it will have a broader commercial prospect. It is different from "Infinite Horror", because of copyright issues, "Infinite Horror" cannot follow the path of film and television adaptation. And "Evil Awe" is completely fine, it can be made into a wonderful movie or series.
This novel can be regarded as an urban novel with a certain science fiction color, with various elements mixed and rich, and it has many selling points. In fact, the ring with science fiction colors has no role in it in the middle and late stages. I think that's how it is described in the outline. This ring played a certain role in the early stage, bringing some gimmicks, and strung with the female character of Fang Nan, so as to bring out the wonderful plot later. So my opinion is, sign up. ”
Chang Zheng couldn't help but admire Yang Kai a little, he had read "Evil Awe" thoroughly. The concept of "ability" has not yet appeared in this world, and Yang Kai can only use "science fiction color" to describe this ring with an element of ability. His eyes are so poisonous.
Chang Zheng: "Today is the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and I may have to go back to my hometown in the next two days." It's going to be the New Year. What time do you start work at the beginning of the year? ”
Yang Kai: "We have a holiday on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and we go to work on the fourth day of the junior high school. When are you going to upload this book? ”
Chang Zheng: "You only have four days off?" It's not easy. Since Editor-in-Chief Yang has agreed to sign the contract, I plan to save some manuscripts first. The original plan was to upload on the first day of the new year, a new starting point for the new year, a colorful head, and a good start, hehe. What about the contract, let's talk about it after the New Year? ”
Yang Kai: "You don't have to finish the New Year, sign now." Fei Fei, you go and prepare for the contract, work hard today, and work overtime. ”
Lu Feifei: "Hmm. Then she left the reception room, presumably back to her office to prepare the contract.
Chang Zheng: "Or is it the same contract as last time?" ”
Yang Kai glanced at Chang Zheng meaningfully, "What?" Got an idea? If you have ideas to mention, we are all very democratic. Everything is in the interests of the author. ”
Chang Zheng smiled: "What can I think?" My idea is to rely on the big tree of Fenghua.com, and cheat and drink to rely on you for a lifetime. Do you have to buy me some four insurances and one housing fund or something? ”
Yang Kai also smiled: "Really? ”
Chang Zheng was serious: "Really." ”
I really won't depend on you for the rest of your life. But I really can't say it now. I really need to rely on your big tree now, absorb nutrients and grow rapidly. Even if it costs a little, it can't be helped. Everything is lost and gained, as the opening chapter of "Evil Awe" says: "We must clearly realize that everything in this world has a price!" ”
If the novel of "Evil Awe" becomes popular, its film and television copyright will also rise. In addition to the physical publication division, Chang Zheng takes seven, and the website takes three. The rest of the income from copyright transfer is fifty-fifty.
Therefore, Chang Zheng urgently wants to have his own cultural communication platform, and he must firmly control all the copyrights in his own hands. If you can really usher in the era of big IP and pan-entertainment, the more intellectual property rights you have, the stronger the empire will be.
But now Chang Zheng can't help it, he doesn't have the strength to call the board, so he has to keep a low profile. The manuscript fee for December has been received, and he has 600,000 yuan in his bank card. 600,000 yuan can be paid as a down payment in Nangang City to buy a small commercial house. You can also pay in one lump sum in the small city of his hometown and buy a slightly larger house. Nowadays, 600,000 is not really a big deal.
But no matter what, "Evil Awe" must be written. No accumulation of steps can lead to thousands of miles. Now make less money, so that he can get it back with interest in the future.
