Chapter 134: Training Class (2)

Chang Zheng's impassioned mobilization speech stimulated the part of the prefrontal cortex in charge of excitement in the author's brain. When people are emotionally excited, they are more likely to empathize with the person who makes them hyperactive.

Chang Zheng was not born a brilliant orator, but he worked hard to learn the art of oratory. Speeches of famous leaders at home and abroad in modern times, live videos of speeches, talk shows, including storytelling and cross talk, are all materials for permanent study. First of all, you have to make the audience laugh or laugh so that you can instill your thoughts or opinions in them more deeply.

In January this year, at the awards dinner of Songzhou Fenghua.com, he gave an impromptu speech in front of many bigwigs and gods, which made him more confident.

Chang Zheng's speech at the dinner party of Fenghua.com had a certain self-expression and pretending nature, and at that time, "Infinite Terror" had just been written, and he became famous, and he wanted to further increase his popularity.

And now, he has opened his own new starting point company, new starting point website, his identity has changed from an independent writer to the owner of an online writing website, he does not need to enhance his popularity in front of these author students, and the return of the sky is now very well-known.

What Chang Zheng desperately wants to do now is to let these author students increase their popularity. When these authors become famous, their works can break through the shackles of 500 per capita and bring real money to the new starting point network and the permanent expedition. How to change from an obscure writer to a well-known god, there is only one right way, which is to write books well.

This seems like a crap. Everyone knows how to write a good book, but not everyone knows how to write a good book that sells well. Chang Zheng will next carry out a two-day closed training for these author trainees on this topic.

Chang Zheng did not immediately return to the podium, but wandered the aisle between his desks.

Each of the author's students had their name tag on their desk, and the name tag had their pen name printed on it.

Chang Zheng stopped in front of an author, looked at his name tag, and said to the author in an aria that resembled poetry: "Friend." Tell me, white boar, what are you writing for? "He's imitating Socrates' tune.

The author, whose pen name is White-haired Wild Boar, replied piously and excitedly: "For the ideal! I want to be a great writer! ”

"Oh, great ideals! Let's applaud the great ideals of the white-haired boar, please give him a round of applause! Chang Zheng took the lead in applauding, and the students also burst into applause.

"Thank you, thank you for your encouragement, I will try." , the white-haired boar was quite encouraged.

Chang Zheng paced in front of a female author. Continue to sing: "Friend, the demon girl Mengmeng, tell me, what are you writing for?" ”

Demon girl Mengmeng: "I heard that writing online articles can make a lot of money, and I want to live a better life, so I wrote online articles." I hope to be like Mr. Cang, and gain fame and fortune. ”

"Oh, great anticipation! Let's applaud the beautiful expectations of the demon girl Meng Meng, please give her a round of applause! ”。 Chang Zheng took the lead in applauding, and all the students also applauded, but not as enthusiastically as just now.

Chang Zheng walked back to the podium and said with a smile: "I interviewed two random students just now, and their views are very representative. The ideal is plump. The reality is skinny. Isn't it? ”

Everyone in the audience laughed.

Chang Zheng: "I've been observing just now, and I've found a phenomenon. The boar student wrote for his ideals, and everyone gave him unreserved applause. Meng Meng writes for fame and fortune, but everyone's applause is reserved. Why. Why is that? Don't you write books and don't want to be famous, don't you want to make money? I'm here for a new beginning, not a dream factory. Want to dream. You can do it lying in your own bed, so why travel thousands of miles to come to me? Chang Zheng suddenly put away his smile and said a little seriously.

Everyone in the audience stopped laughing.

Chang Zheng suddenly smiled again: "I dare to say, in fact, most of you here have the same thoughts as Meng Meng. It's just that you are very hypocritical, and Meng Meng is very calm. Can you stop being so hypocritical? ”

"Hey, hey." The crowd laughed dryly.

Chang Zheng: "Now I'm doing a survey, and I hope everyone can respond to me from the bottom of their hearts. In this training room, we don't have to have any scruples, only by opening your hearts can you make a difference. My survey question is: Do you want to make money and be famous by writing? Raise your hand if you want. If you don't want to, you can go out now, and we will reimburse the travel expenses from the new starting point network. Okay, let me see your answers. ”

As soon as Chang Zheng's voice fell, the demon girl Meng Meng was the first to raise her hand. Then all the authors raised their hands.

"Alright, let's get to the point." Chang Zheng nodded and said, "Everyone is the author of my new starting point.com, our website is a commercial website, and commercial websites naturally want to sell goods." The essence of commercial writing is to turn online literature into a cultural commodity, and return a part of pure literature to heaven. Literary things are just begging for their friends, and they don't have a deep understanding of the price and sale. I write my heart by hand, and wealth can be restrained? If you don't sell for money, then it's natural to write whatever you want, as long as you don't be harmonious, drag three or five friends to cheer, and sing and harmonize with each other is indeed a joy. But once you charge, you're not dealing with poets, you're dealing with discerning customers. Online articles are not a necessity of life, so there is a question of buying or not buying, buying more or buying less. ”

"What I'm going to teach you in the past two days is how to sell your own works and sell them well. Before I talk about writing skills, I want to emphasize one point, and that is updating. The ancients said: Gou is new every day, new every day, and new every day. The ancients told us that if we want to become a great sage, we must renew every day, and we must update again and again, and constantly update, and we can become gods more and faster. ”

The authors looked at each other, "Gou is new, every day is new, every day is new." Is that how this is understood? ”

"Like, probably, it should be...... Yes, right? Mr. Cang, this is a new interpretation of the old saying, and it also makes sense. ”

"Mr. Cang is the jet in the writer's hand, and he updates quickly, so he becomes a god. I believe in this sentence, anyway, according to what Mr. Cang said, the understanding will become. ”

"Seriously, class is here." , Chang Zheng knocked on the podium and reminded the students to pay attention to the lecture and not to talk to each other. He then continued to lecture: "For traditional novels, the three elements are: characters and plot. Environment. In the process of the development of online literature, the characters still exist, the plot gradually becomes king, the environment becomes the setting, and another ghost 'update' quietly ascends the stage of history and sings a big drama.

All of you here are basically the signed authors of our site, and we have update requirements for the signed authors, that is, we must update at least 4,000 words every day after signing the contract. Update 4,000 words every day, and you can get a perfect attendance award. Why should I set this updated word count requirement? It's not just me who has a new starting point, and basically all stations have update requirements. This is not actually a requirement of the website. It's the reader's demand. Remember, the first step to becoming a god is to renew, renew, renew! ”

"Teacher Cang, but sometimes I will be Kavin, and I won't come out. How to break? ", one author asked.

Chang Zheng: "This is a very good question, and I think this is also a common problem that plagues many writers. Next. I'll get to the outline. With an outline, you can solve the problem of not being able to update, as long as you are diligent enough. Look at the big screen. ”

There is a screen hanging on the wall in front of the training room, and the PPT handouts made by Chang Zheng are projected onto the screen.

Chang Zheng pointed to the white-haired boar. said, "Boar, please read the text on the big screen aloud so that the whole class can hear it." You don't have to stand up, just sit and read. ”

The white-haired boar looked at the big screen and read aloud: "Seven consciousnesses that you should have to become a professional author: 1. Write a work. It should start well and finish well; 2. You can't stop the daily update for your own reasons; 3. If you sign a contract, don't go back; 4. There should be an outline; 5. Adapt to the taste of most readers (the public); 6. Knowing how to code words is also a job; 7. Before you finish the book, you should think about the publication of the next book. ”

Chang Zheng nodded: "Thank you." Thank you, Boar Classmate. You are basically all contracted authors of our site, and after signing the contract, writing becomes a job. Like those who work in office buildings and factories, writing is your profession, whether full-time or part-time, and I hope you can treat writing as a job. Since writing is a profession, you need to have a work ethic and skills, which are the seven rules on the big screen. Work ethic will ensure that you will not be laid off, and professional skills will make your life better. I hope you can memorize these seven points, don't write them down in a notebook, but memorize them by heart. Who's that, I said I don't need to copy it in the book.,I'll copy this PPT to you.。 Now please listen carefully to Mr. Cang's lecture! ”

"Let's start with the first point, writing a work should start and finish well. Professional authors are based on code words as a profession, and each work is your work experience. If a work can't start and finish well, in the words of the workplace, you will be fired once because you are not qualified for your job. Anyone in the workplace will have ups and downs, so the author must have a time of ups and downs. Give up once, and your resume will be stained. Even if you move to another company, you are not as good as someone with a perfect resume. And don't think that if your ability is super strong, the boss will not be suspicious. If there is someone who can replace you, he will definitely kill you without hesitation. ”

"Second, you can't stop updating every day for your own reasons. If you make a point, it's endless. But for readers, since you have chosen to become a professional writer of online articles, you should have the awareness of updating every day. Many authors like to make excuses for themselves, indulge themselves arbitrarily, and even make threats. In fact, this threat is very ridiculous, just like in a company, there is a technical master, he can solve a lot of problems, but often ask for leave and do not go to work, even if there is a real reason, the boss will be unhappy. There are many ways to solve the problem of daily updates, such as saving manuscripts, such as regular releases, etc. ”

……

"Fourth, before you start writing the main text, you must have an outline. Professional writers, you can't say that you can write if you want to, don't write if you don't want to, write wherever you want, this is uncontrollable. Many people feel that they have the ability to be imaginative and have inexplicable self-confidence, but in fact, most of the authors who write like this have plots out of control, which makes the quality of the work decline to a great extent. In the company, this kind of person is more and more disappointed by the boss, who originally thought it was a diamond, but in the end it turned into a glass ball. With a complete outline, Carvin's problem can also be solved. Many authors write and write, write hundreds of thousands of words or millions of words, confused, don't know how to write down, at this time you have to look at your own outline, because when writing an outline, your thinking is clear. So if you want to think of writing as a career where you can make a living, write an outline carefully. ”

……

"Okay, I've finished the seven rules of professional authorship. Time flies, and the morning just passes. Lunch time is half an hour, and after half an hour we start the following lesson. In the next lesson, I will have specific exchanges with you according to various types of novel writing. After class, eat! (To be continued......)
