Chapter 006: On the Dao
Chang Zheng spent five hours until eleven o'clock in the evening, and selectively read some of the books on the science fiction channel library and list.
First of all, he admits that many science fiction authors are very level, whether it is hard science fiction or soft science fiction, they can write that kind of flavor. There are also a small number of pseudo-science fiction, but most of them are eunuchs. In fact, the so-called hard and soft science fiction is also made up by readers, websites, and some media, and many science fiction authors, including publishers, do not recommend subdividing science fiction.
Chang Zheng thinks that whether it is a science fiction novel that is hard, soft, pseudo or dressed in other clothes, first of all, they must be novels, and if they are novels, they must have a necessary condition, which is good-looking. Even hard science fiction novels that are rigorous in the spirit of science and respect and advocate for the development of science and technology have to rely on an attractive storyline to drive the whole book, listing a lot of advanced data, and that is not a novel, but a scientific paper.
When he often reviews new books, most of them will be killed by him when they see a lot of data listed at the beginning. Because most readers see this kind of big data, they will generally fork it off. In fact, the books written by those science fiction masters are all in simple terms, and advanced scientific knowledge penetrates into the plot little by little, even readers who don't understand professional knowledge at all, and suddenly understand a general idea when they look at it.
Secondly, he found the techno-troll troll, who was the Nine Achievements, a sci-fi author with the pen name "Reflector Cannon". This is an old author who has written three long science fiction novels, all of which are on the shelves and finished, but the results are average. The fourth book is currently being updated, called "The Mystery of the Nebula", with 350,000 words. "Nebula Mystery" ranked third on the Science Fiction Channel's weekly clicks and recommendation list, and was crushed by "Infinite Horror".
Why is Chang Zheng so sure of him? Just like everyone's speaking accent, it has been condensed over the years, and it is not something that can be changed if you want to, except for actors and young ladies. The style of each author is the same, and it is also accented.
Chang Zheng has studied it carefully, and the landlord with the name of ten words, and the reflector cannon, have several idiomatic mantras, "admittedly", "what", "if" and other words are used a lot, and the way of writing and breaking sentences is also quite similar. This is a good author, at least with his own writing style.
After thinking about it, Chang Zheng contacted and punched the cow to death, "Old Niu, there is a science fiction author called the reflector." Is there a Penguin for him? ”
Punch the cow to death: "Yes, he is on my friend list." I've read the books he wrote to go ahead of his group. The first one he wrote was okay, I ordered it all, and then the next few books got worse and worse, and I couldn't read it. Could it be..."
Chang Zheng: "Send it to me." I just want to learn literature with my peers. ”
Kill the cow with a punch: "982998." I'm quite skeptical, it's not easy to post this kid. ”
After Chang Zheng got the number, he went to add a reflective cannon.
The author's number is generally verified, and the reflector is no exception.
Chang Zheng typed in the verification box: "The sky returns, the author of "Infinite Terror", discusses literature. ”
A minute later, the verification passed, and the two became friends.
Chang Zheng: "Haven't slept yet?" ”
Reflector: "What's the matter?" ”
Chang Zheng: "It's almost okay." I'll close the building at twelve o'clock and say hello to you in advance. I said brother, you work hard, and you still have to care about me, I can't stand it. It's good if you call your fan group to hack me, and you have to do it yourself? ”
Reflector: "Their level is limited, so I can only come." ”
Hey, you're pretty single! is so capable, why hang a vest.
Chang Zheng: "Why? Have I offended you? ”
Reflector: "It's just to see that you are unhappy and disturb the atmosphere of the literary world." ”
Chang Zheng: "Brother, what I want to say is that there is actually no competition between authors and authors. The bigger the base and the deeper the pool, the fatter the fish we can catch. Fighting in the nest is the real disruption of the atmosphere in the literary world, not only disrupting the atmosphere, but also disrupting the market. The writer industry, unlike other industries, cannot be monopolized. Even the most popular writer can write more than a dozen books in his lifetime? Or dozens of copies? Readers can't just read a few dozen books in a lifetime, they need a richer element. So I'm not disturbing the atmosphere, I'm exploring. I hope we can cooperate, cooperate, and make the plate bigger together. At least don't spray each other. You tell me? ”
The reflector was silent for two minutes, then typed: "Nonsense." ”
Chang Zheng: "I've read statistics that in the past five years, the number of online readers in my country has only increased by 5%. Why? Everyone has seen enough of the types that can be seen. So we need to innovate. It is no longer the era of a few decades ago, when books were relied upon to supplement spiritual food. Nowadays, the pace of life is fast, the pressure of work and study is high, and everyone reads books to have fun, which is no different from watching movies, listening to music, and listening to book reviews. And this trend is becoming more and more obvious, just look at the best-selling books on Fenghua Literature Network. Why martial arts and urban are popular, because it looks fun and enjoyable. The reason why history and science fiction are left out in the cold is because it looks dull, at least most history and science fiction are quite dull. ”
Reflector: "Don't talk nonsense, I read the book you wrote." To be honest, I can't stand it after reading three chapters. What you write is not science fiction at all, you are completely insulting science fiction. ”
Chang Zheng: "Brother, we are writing stories, everyone loves to read them, we will write, there is no insult or insult." How did I insult sci-fi? Which scientist did I insult? Just like storytelling, everyone knows that storytellers are, a teenager can pick up an eight-hundred-pound sledgehammer, smash a person with a hammer, and tear an adult with both hands, is it possible? But why are the listeners fascinated by it, because it sounds good. It's the same with writing books. I don't dare agree with what you say about the right way. What is the Tao? If you can walk, that's the way. Except, of course, for illegal and criminal roads. ”
Reflector: "You're not qualified to talk to me. You're on a dead end. I added you to teach you how to write for people. It seems that there is no need, you go your way. ”
Chang Zheng wanted to say something, but a message popped up "You have been blacklisted by the reflector".
Hey, is this the arrogance of the literati? Chang Zheng shook his head and sighed. If you are really arrogant, open a large tuba to spray me.
The building of the black "Infinite Horror" has been built to the 127th floor, and Chang Zheng personally sealed the building. He really doesn't have much energy to care about these things, "Infinite Terror" has been written to a critical period, there are old pits to be filled, new pits to be excavated, new weapons and equipment are about to be put into use, key characters are about to appear, and there are too many things to write. Do you love black or not, justice is in the hearts of the people.
……
The next day, Friday, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Chang Zheng completed the second shift of the day. Because of the reader's strong request, he was going to write another chapter in the evening.
I went out for a run, had dinner, and at half past eight, Chang Zheng returned home and released the third watch.
It's a little strange.,Three Winds' application is passed or rejected.,There will be a letter from the station today.,It's almost nine o'clock.,Why haven't you received the letter yet?
Every Friday at around 2 p.m., it is a terrifying moment for the authors. Some authors will receive an on-site SMS at this time, and the on-site SMS will notify the author that at two o'clock in the afternoon this Sunday, your work will be on the recommendation list. The author who didn't stand short, then he could only run naked/run for a week.
The short station of whether the application of the three winds is approved is also sent to the author at this point.
So Chang Zheng wondered, it's almost 9 o'clock, why don't you come yet? A similar recommendation from his old club on Earth will be sent out at six o'clock in the afternoon at the latest.
Standing short is like a big aunt, when you think about it, you don't come, when you forget it, it appears coldly, making you feel at a loss. Chang Zheng was puzzled, "Ding", the station is short.
"Dear author, your work "Infinite Terror" will receive a week-long recommendation from the three winds. During the referral period, be sure to keep it up to date. If there is a discordant factor in the work, the recommendation will be cancelled. ”
Hey, that's good! You can also apply on Thursday afternoon. The editors of Fenghua Literature Network must be working overtime to review the article, it's so late, it's not easy. Chang Zheng suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for these editors, and he often worked overtime when he was an editor.
Editors and authors are grasshoppers on a rope, Chang Zheng has been a writer and an editor, and he can deeply understand it. When he was a writer, he always urged the editor to recommend it. After doing editing, I was urged by a group of authors to recommend. He could only laugh. Editors love authors, authors can make money if they write well, and editors in charge also have achievements. It's not that I don't recommend it, there are so many authors and so many books, there are many people and few pits, there is no way, you have to queue up. These truths were also understood by Chang Zheng after he became an editor.
There's nothing to say, most of the editors are working overtime to review, and I recommend Sanfeng. I can only code words and make more money to repay them.
