Chapter 012: The counterattack of the hundred schools, Yang Lin's self-confidence
In a residential house in the first ring of Yidu.
Forty-three-year-old Wu Long spent three days finally revising the new chapters to his satisfaction, and entered the book review section.
This is a habit he has maintained since he became a writer, even after the physical book is published, he will interact with book fans on his personal homepage, and adjust the content of his next writing according to readers' feedback in a timely manner.
Due to the "Detailed Rules for the Assessment of One-Star Writers in Huaxia Country" reviewed by the Jugator, it is stipulated that for quasi-one-star writers who have reached the basic ability but are not talented, the standard will be gradually lowered in ten years, and the maximum level that can be achieved by such writers will be adjusted according to the degree of difficulty reduction.
This is a "consolation prize" that writers with a little self-confidence and ambition disdain, because in addition to being looked down upon by orthodox writers, the top ten people will only be a one-star writer at the bottom in the end.
Of course, for Wu Long, who is very "self-aware", even if he is a "shrunken" one-star writer, it is his dream.
It is precisely because of this "hard work" that "orthodox" writers rarely do, that Wu Long, who offended many people with arrogance when he was young and was not a descendant of the Wu family, has survived until now.
If one qiē shun lì, three months later, when his book "The King of the Sun Family of the Three Kingdoms" with Sun Quan as the protagonist is completed, the results will be enough for him to officially be promoted to a one-star writer.
At that time, he officially had citizenship, and he could even be re-recorded by the Wu family tree, ranking according to seniority, from a commoner to one of the four great families of the Huameng in an instant, every time he thought of this, he felt dry mouth, excited, and could not settle down to write.
This is also the reason why his book "The King of the Sun of the Three Kingdoms", which was released three years ago, is updated more and more slowly.
"Hey, what's going on today, the comment area is a lot more lively?"
Wu Long, who knew his own situation well, soon found that the new discussion messages in the comment area today were several times that of usual, and there were also several hot chat rooms in the online book review community that were being discussed.
"Mr. Hailong, you're finally here."
The one who spoke was the deputy moderator "Brother Zhongmou", who was in charge of managing the book review area, and Wu Long set up an invisible and visible position for him, so he invited Wu Long into the private chat room as soon as possible.
"Well, I just finished revising the novel, and I'm planning to pull a few old readers to read and give comments first, so as not to have to go through the trouble of revising it after uploading."
As a Cun Zài who is about to usher in the "peak of life", Wu Long is trying to adjust to a higher style, he knows that even if he doesn't ask, if there is something "Brother Zhongmou" will take the initiative to mention, naturally he will not show impatience.
"Don't worry about that for now, there are some things that need to be told to you, this morning the book "The King of the Sun Family" suddenly had several recommendations."
"That's a good thing, it should be that the website sees that my book is about to end, so I want to add to the fire, after all, my average order score is more than 5,000, which is much better than those previous works."
Wu Long immediately smiled happily when he heard that the originally tepid 100 websites had given him such strong support at once, because he had concentrated on making changes during the day and set his personal terminal to Do Not Disturb, so he didn't know about it.
"It's a good thing to have a recommendation, yes, but it should be someone who is red-eyed, starting at six o'clock tonight, there are a few guys who keep using trumpets to provoke in the book review area, and the words are very ugly, they are all scolded at Mr. Hailong, so that a few of us are almost too late to manage to delete and ban words, Mr. Hailong, do you see if you have applied to the website to block the network interface of these people?"
"It's okay, it's just a few insignificant clowns who jump off the beam, I have a lot of adults, so I won't bother with them."
Hailong said indifferently, "Brother Zhongmou has worked hard for you, I'll contact the editor here first and ask if there are any activities that require my cooperation." ”
……
"Wu Long, you are finally willing to open the terminal to contact."
"Oh, Brother Ming, what are you talking about, didn't I want to concentrate on changing the novel, I wonder if you can help me ask, what's going on with this recommendation today?"
"I don't have to ask anyone else, I can sue you ......"
"That's it? Brother Ming, don't worry, I don't dare to say it to others, but it's too simple to suppress a newcomer author who has no foundation, you let go and contact Brilliant there, I promise not to embarrass you. ”
……
On the other side, a four-person chat room.
"Chubby, your idea doesn't work."
"That's it, we've made it soft to post and type, and occasionally someone jumps out to scold, but directly lets those book reviews manage to delete the post."
"I don't think I can blame Chubby, it should be that there are too many managers on the other side."
"Alas, Xiaolong, don't excuse me, I'm taking it for granted. There is some truth in what you said, but I have summarized that it is not that there are too many managers on the other side, but that there are too few of us. Forget it, wait until I think of a way, let's withdraw today. ”
……
Yang Lin was in a good mood on this day.
As soon as the physical contract arrived in the morning, Brilliant immediately gave a blockbuster recommendation after modifying the signing status, and then the book "Legend of the God of War" was released for a few days, but the number of double-digit clicks, recommendations and collections all skyrocketed, and the comment area quickly became hot, and many fans posted and exchanged ideas in it.
Although he had long been confident in himself, really seeing this qiē still gave him a very strong sense of satisfaction.
"Buzz"
Just as Yang Lin was looking through those more interesting book review posts with relish and replying to some content casually, the personal terminal in his hand vibrate.
"Mu Yi, it's a big trouble!"
In several contacts with each other, although Tan Shiya strictly abides by the regulations, she takes the initiative to communicate with text or voice calls every time, and has not used video.
But after a few times, they can be regarded as having a better understanding of their respective personalities, plus neither of them likes to be polite and cares about the details, so they are more direct and casual in their respective names.
"Sister Yezi, take your time, the sky won't fall."
Yang Lin didn't think that there was much trouble that could make him afraid, so he replied indifferently.
"It's my sister! Tell my sister to be careful of turning her face with you! And of course the sky won't fall, I don't understand why you say that, is it a legendary 'bad joke'? ”
Although the situation was a little troublesome, Tan Shiya still couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Whatever you want, it's impossible for me to call you sister, for the reason I don't want to say, it's a little awkward to call you Ye Zi directly, as for the question of 'cold jokes', you just treat it as it, or get down to business."
Yang Lin's actual age that was destined to be "unspeakable" made him wisely choose not to dwell on this topic.
"Forget it, you can call me Shiya in the future, it's like this......"
After Tan Shiya explained the situation, Yang Lin frowned slightly.
It turned out that after Yang Lin directly rejected Wu Ming in the morning, the other party's negotiations were also given a soft nail by Nie Yunian with a "Tai Chi Push Hand", and he realized that the matter could finally be covered up, so Wu Ming took emergency measures to shield his novels in Baijia, and at the same time contacted the editor-in-chief of Baijia Library, and reported everything.
However, Wu Yuan, the editor-in-chief of Baijia, did not care about teaching his subordinates who were derelict in their duties, and immediately made arrangements after consulting his "think tank".
First of all, he contacted Brilliant Literature and asked Brilliant Literature to fulfill the promise made when Baijia Shuku cooperated with the release of Yu Wen's "King of the Three Kingdoms": unconditionally support Baijia Shuku for a new work.
That is to say, after Brilliant opened a station-based contract for that book, he needed to use his own channels to promote and sell it, and he had the same treatment as his own key promotion novels, but he couldn't earn any money.
Overall, from the perspective of economic benefits, brilliance is earned no matter what, after all, the Three Kingdoms, a historical era that most people understand, coupled with a number of famous domestic signboards like Yu Wen, the quality of the new books in the Baijia Library in recent years is very different from it, so there will be such a "win-win" agreement.
Then, after sifting through the website, the editor-in-chief finally decided to use Hailong, the pinnacle of his writing career of more than 20 years, "The King of the Sun Family of the Three Kingdoms", which is said to have been "borrowed" by Yu Wendu, as a weapon, and to "accompany" Yang Lin's new book throughout the process, suppressing all the numbers from reality and the Internet.
This is planning to use all his strength and not give Yang Lin any way to live at all.
After Tan Shiya knew about this situation, she got a bitter and helpless response from Nie Yunian:
"Xiaoya, the editor-in-chief of the company's literature department already knows the situation, I am really going to go on a business trip to the country of Goryeo and the country of Wa, they are going to learn the ancient saying 'sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight', if Mu Yi wins, they will harvest a genius, if they are suppressed and lose, they will see Mu Yi's table Xiàn choose whether to be a good person in the end, or a few years later, after the hundred families almost ignore this matter, and then go to take Mu Yi back easily."
So, she was anxious and contacted Yang Lin as soon as possible.
"Shiya, thank you for telling me this news, in fact, I have a shortcoming that I don't plan to change, and I am confident enough!"
Yang Lin tapped the index finger of his right hand on the tabletop and said the following words with a smile.
"What's more, head-on competition, the person who can make me fail in this world has not yet been born!"
"You're really 'modest' ......"
"Thanks for the compliment."
“…… You're welcome. ”
