Chapter 003: The BUG of the Beautiful Teacher and Little Lori
In the next week, Chang Zheng spent two hours a day coding a chapter to upload, watching three horror movies, and then a few hours writing an outline. A good brain is not as good as a bad pen, there will always be a memory gap in the human brain, and it is well documented to write it down in black and white.
Looking at the free time outside the film code words, Chang Zheng reads books on the Internet, goes to forums, and book review areas to understand the rules and customs of Fenghua Literature Network. Fenghua Literature Network is almost the same as the major online literature websites on the earth, with monthly ticket lists, click lists, recommendation lists, and new book lists, and the competition is fierce. Readers form groups to support their favorite authors and works, where there is love, there is hate, love is rewarded, and hate is sprayed, and there is true love in the world.
Chang Zheng went to his "Infinite Terror" book review area and looked at it, well, it's good, no one sprayed it, and of course no one praised it. Updated 90,000 words, 78 total hits, today is Friday, this week's member week hits are 40, 8 recommended votes, 9 favorites. No one likes or sprays, that's because basically no one reads it, and few other book lovers leave footprints in the book review area except for advertisements. There are millions of books in the library of Fenghua Literature Network, and they are not recommended, and they are newcomers, so naturally no one reads them.
Say what you say, come out of what. Chang Zheng entered the author's background and was about to upload chapters, "Ding", and a new message appeared on the site: "Hello, I hereby inform you that your work "Infinite Terror" will be available at 14:00 on August 11 [Classified Novel New Book Recommendation], and unfinished works must be updated forever. If there is an emergency, please contact your editor-in-charge, thank you for your cooperation. ”
"Well, finally got a recommendation. It seems that I have to make a cover, or readers will scold me for not paying attention to it. Chang Zheng found a buddy on the Internet to make a cover, and negotiated the price, 50 yuan can be overhauled twice.
In the end, Chang Zheng asked that buddy to practice eight times, and a man who was both good and evil, with an angel on his left face and a demon on his right face, appeared on the cover with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Chang Zheng paid an extra thirty yuan for this. He is not wasting money, but knows that the cover is the façade of a book, and who is in the mood to read it.
In this more than a week, Chang Zheng finally finished writing the outline, completely straightened out his thinking, set the main characters and villains, redesigned a set of equipment and props system, and made precise settings for where to dig pits and when to fill them. The outline is 150,000 words, and now all he has to do is to fill in the story, plot, and characters according to the map. For this reason, he has watched dozens of horror movies in a row, and now he feels very bored when he watches dramas such as Gong Dou, Tearing, and Office Romance. Once the flavor is heavy, it is difficult to dilute.
On Sunday, August 11th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, "Infinite Horror" was recommended as a new book on the Science Fiction Channel. Chang Zheng still has three chapters with a total of 10,000 words, and he sends a chapter every two hours, and as of 8 o'clock in the evening, the plot of "No One Can Live", the second horror film of "Infinite Terror", has been written. At present, the total number of words is 123,726 words.
The third horror film is called "Human Face and Ghost Heart", which is a film made by the Republic of Silla, a small country in the East. According to Chang Zheng's setting, this horror film will write about 80,000 words, and the plot will enter a worried and excited Xiao Gao Chao here, Chu Xuan fought a group of evil ghosts bravely and wits in order to keep his teammates alive, and unfortunately died. Of course, in the future, the strongest wise man will be resurrected, and other props will be used to resurrect Chu Xuan, Chang Zheng has already set.
"Human Face and Ghost Heart" is an important foreshadowing plot, which is to prepare for the fourth horror film "Bloodthirsty Sacrifice". The whole book proceeds to the plot of "Bloodthirsty Sacrifice", which will enter a big high chao, and a powerful team from another continent will appear, hunt and kill Zheng Zha's team, and mysterious props will also appear, which will whet the reader's appetite, and some secrets about the main god space will be gradually revealed, and the grand world setting will first appear. After the completion of "Bloodthirsty Sacrifice", the whole book should be 30 to 320,000 words, according to common sense, that is, it is almost before and after it is put on the shelves.
Chang Zheng is confident that if readers can finish watching the second horror movie, they will definitely watch the third part, because he dug a small hole in the second part, and the plot of the third part will fill it. After the small pit is filled, Chang Zheng will dig a medium-sized pit in the third horror film, and the fourth part will be filled. If readers can see the fourth part, then they should keep chasing it until the book is finished. Because Chang Zheng fell into the biggest pit step by step like this, and he couldn't stop.
The key question now is, how many readers will click on it? Chang Zheng was a little excited, expectant and a little apprehensive, after all, he also spent a lot of effort on this adapted version of "Infinite Terror".
At one o'clock in the morning, Chang Zheng finished the first two chapters of the third "Human Face and Ghost Heart", and he didn't rush to send it, so he saved it first. He turned off the computer, took a shower, and went to sleep.
I got up at 8 o'clock in the morning on Monday, washed up, ate and drank, and Chang Zheng turned on the computer to enter the pages of "Infinite Terror" to check the data.
"The total number of hits is 799, well, that is, from two o'clock yesterday afternoon until now, there are seven hundred hits. Well, average results. Presumably, it will take some time for readers to accept this new theme. 20 recommended tickets, uh....so few. Although I don't make any recommendation lists, there are really few. ”
Chang Zheng opened the author's background, ready to update a chapter, and by the way, look at the number of collections, "Huh? What kind of strange data is this? There are actually 108 collections, and there are a hundred more collections in less than a day. Seven hundred more clicks, one hundred more collections, and the point-to-income ratio is very high, seven to one. "When Chang Zheng was an editor, he paid more attention to the point of the work before it was put on the shelf, and it would be nice to have 10:1. The point-to-income ratio is a rough indication of how many readers who have clicked on your book will continue to chase after it. This can only be used as reference data, but some clues can be seen, if there is no deliberate brushing of data. Of course, the measure of the success of a book is mainly based on the subscription after it is put on the shelves. It's king.
After thinking about it, Chang Zheng added a sentence to the chapter that was about to be uploaded: "Pink newcomers, kneel down and beg for collections and recommendations!" "I'll upload an update when I'm done.
Wandering around the book review section, he noticed that the number of reviews was exploding.
"Want to have a beautiful cover? Let your novel dominate. Professional artist, professional level, please add [a string of Arabic numerals, separated by a comma]. ”
"The subject matter is good, but the pacing and foreshadowing are important. Add [a string of Chinese numbers, separated by a full stop] to forge ahead together! ”
"It's very good-looking, if you don't dislike it, come to the author group, add [a string of Arabic numerals and Chinese numerals, no need to separate them in the middle], hook up!"
"Great! Ask for a trick, the name is XXXX, any role is fine! ”
……
Since "Infinite Terror" was recommended as a new book, the attention and suggestions of enthusiastic book lovers have increased significantly. There were more days in one day than in the previous week.
deleted a lot of articles, Chang Tian suddenly found a comment, which caught his attention, a book friend called "One Punch to Kill a Cow" said: "The subject matter is quite novel, and I actually thought of the idea of reincarnation in horror films, which is very open." After reading it in one go, I can't get enough of it. Make some suggestions, there is a bug in the plot of "No One Can Live" in the book, the real killer in the movie is actually the beautiful teacher in stockings, she is a person with split personality, the author can watch the movie again. In addition, although the writing of this article is average, science fiction is no better than romance and martial arts, and simple words are also acceptable. The key is the plot, the plot! Come on, author, explode! Explosion! ”
It seems that this is a serious reader. Chang Zheng was encouraged. BUG? No way? This bug is very serious.
Stopping the code words, Chang Zheng watched "No One Can Live" again. Sure enough, the beautiful teacher is a killer, and I always thought it was the sling Lori who was the killer.
Changing a book is much more tangled than writing a book, for many authors. watched the film and changed the text, it took a morning, and Chang Zheng fixed all the bugs.
The book review of "One Punch to Kill the Cow" was refined, and Chang Zheng replied on the second floor, expressing his gratitude to this reader, and the BUG has been fixed, please continue to support. Be kind to your readers, and they will do good to you.
For this BUG incident, Chang Zheng attaches great importance to it, and science fiction texts certainly need to be rigorous, whether it is the world setting or the plot description. So he spent an afternoon watching "Human Face and Ghost Heart" and "Bloodthirsty Sacrifice" again. went to the movie forum to watch and learn, and he has a deep understanding of these two horror films, and he will definitely be refined when he writes film reviews now.
In the next few days, Chang Zheng coded words for 15 to 17 hours a day, except for going to the toilet, eating and sleeping, he never left the computer desk. He himself felt like he was a little crazy. If you don't go crazy, you won't survive. Once you get used to this madness, you can't stop at all.
From Monday night to Thursday night, for three days, he coded an average of 30,000 words a day, and a total of 91,000 words in three days. For a normal person, this is almost the limit.
On Friday morning, Chang Zheng uploaded the last chapter of the third horror film, "Human Face and Ghost Heart". The total word count of "Infinite Terror" has reached 210,000. Leave a 10,000-word manuscript, look at the data, click 6812 per week, collect 780, and the recommendation skyrocketed from 20 to 558 on Monday morning, it seems that the roar still has an effect. Although these hundreds of recommended votes are not interesting, the increase is amazing.
The numbers aren't impressive, but they're steadily improving, which is a good sign. Chang Zheng has been an editor for so many years, and it is very clear that there are so many books that become gods, and the great gods are cultivated little by little. Hopefully, this book of Infinite Terror will serve as a knock on the door. Voltaire, Rousseau and Montesquieu, the three god-level writers, may not be the best in their writing, but they are better than the novel subject matter and strong impact, and they have opened a window for the majority of book lovers, the window in their hearts. Once opened, it never closes again.
