Chapter 148: Such a novel can also be published
It's just that for what Zhang Ning said, he just wants to write a good story, the major writers don't agree.
"Zhang Ning, in fact, as a writer, he doesn't write a good story. The stories he writes must reflect the current life. To give meaning to this story, you can't write for the sake of writing a good story. Isn't it true that we don't write stories that don't seem particularly good or particularly enjoyable? In fact, a lot of our writers here, they're writing stories that seem bitter. However, these stories have infected many people. It also conveys our thoughts, and I think that's what we writers should do. ”
A writer who publishes his tirade.
Another person also spoke, "Yes, all along, what is the purpose of writing, in addition to satisfying one's own interests, more is to carry the Tao in writing. The so-called carrying the Tao is to convey a correct thought. When I look at your novels, it's just freedom of writing. However, many of the ideas in it are also too casual, and we usually chat about it, so how can it appear in the book. Besides, what if there are a lot of underage people who read your novels and teach them badly? ”
"Yes, Zhang Ning, I just read it, this novel of yours also writes about online dating. Moreover, in addition to online dating, he actually wrote a lot of tricks for picking up girls, which is too wrong. Adults like us just watch it, and it probably won't be affected. If those children are affected, won't it be a disaster for the next generation? ”
After a painful criticism, Zhang Ning's first intimate contact was made, and there was nothing to criticize.
This is still a more euphemistic statement, some writers even kept smacking out on the side, while looking at Zhang Ning, a few people whispered, "It's really the world is declining, and such a novel can be published." If that's the case, I think the essays written by elementary school students will be published. ”
Seeing this, Zhang Ning's heart suddenly turned cold.
It is no wonder that in later generations, it is often heard that many traditional writers attack online writers.
It turns out that in their bones, they are born with this kind of loftiness.
They see their novels as the standard for saving society, and they see their work as having the power to influence everyone.
Unfortunately, they have always been reluctant to believe a fact.
No matter how great his work is, it is difficult for him to influence anyone, let alone adults.
At the same time, this also made Zhang Ning think. Why have traditional novels been unpopular in later generations, and even, in 2014, in the so-called list of rich Chinese writers, major traditional writers have been squeezed off the list. Internet writers, on the other hand, have completely surpassed them in just a few years at a speed against the sky.
I have to say, this is their cup.
Zhang Ning really wants to talk to them about the characteristics of online novels, but now that online novels have just begun, they don't even know what the Internet is.
"By the way, how many copies of this novel were first printed?"
"I don't think it's 5,000 copies."
"I also think that I heard about the publication of an online novel not long ago, and I said that it had a great impact at the time. However, in the end, not even 2,000 copies were sold, and I don't know how shameful it is. ”
"I just don't know how many copies of this novel can sell?"
"Hehe, this, the owner is here, so don't talk about it anymore."
Several people whispered, although it was a whisper, but everyone heard it, including Zhang Ning, of course.
"Hehe, several, if you have anything to say, say it out loud, don't worry if I'm not there. However, I would like to tell you one thing. I'm sorry, but the first print run of this novel of mine is not 5,000 copies, but 20,000 copies, sorry to disappoint you. ”
"20,000 copies, how is that possible?"
Just now, several writers who despised Zhang Ning kept shaking their heads, "I believe that as long as it is a regular publishing company, it will definitely not do this." However, there are some people who really have this possibility if they pay for it themselves. ”
"I'll pay for your mother."
If it weren't for the public, Zhang Ning really wanted to PK with them in real life.
I'll be grassy, who gives these guys so much confidence, who gives these guys, such a big arrogance.
A picture of Lao Tzu being the best in the world made Zhang Ning very unhappy.
Forget it, don't sit with these guys.
Originally, Zhang Ning didn't want to be a writer, and he came here to promote his works. But at this moment, Zhang Ning found that being in the company of this group of young guys was really insulting his IQ. He also looked at them with contempt, "Charge your arrogance, in my opinion, only the mentally handicapped and ignorant will make brain-dead judgments when they don't understand the situation. Whether my novel is self-funded or not, you can ask the Phantom Publishing House. As for how many copies of my novel can sell. I'm sure you'll be amazed in a few months' time. Even, the number of books you write and sell in your lifetime can't catch up with this work. ”
Mad.
It's crazy.
These writers never thought that Zhang Ning would directly satirize them in front of so many writers.
was scolded by Zhang Ning, and several writers immediately turned red. Since he was a child, he has never been so humiliated, "Hmph, the number of copies we sell in our lifetime can't catch up with yours, young man, bragging is too big." ”
"If you want me to say, this guy will brag too. Look at this novel he wrote, it's all nonsense, it's all bragging. Not to mention the first printing of 20,000 copies of such a novel, even if it is a first printing of 5,000 copies, it is estimated that no one cares. ”
"Okay, you guys are so discerning, why don't we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"If my novel, this first intimate encounter, manages to sell more than 1 million copies......"
Zhang Ning has not yet said what will happen to them after breaking through 1 million copies sold, but several writers have already laughed with some stomach pain, "1 million copies, are you playing 1 million copies, even if they are some top writers, they may not be able to sell 1 million copies." Okay, I'll make this bet with you. If your novel surpasses 1 million copies, we immediately apologize to you publicly. ”
"Okay, that's what you said."
Zhang Ning stood up and was about to leave, he didn't want to stay here for a moment.
It's just that just after Zhang Ning stood up, an old man dressed in a rustic style on the side suddenly spoke, "Little brother, can I read that novel of yours?" ”
When he said this, everyone immediately turned their heads sideways, and they were all shocked, "Director Huang." ”
The person who came was Huang Zhanyuan.
He participated in this writers' meeting, in fact, to find a suitable script.
It's just that there are many writers here, but most of the plots are either old-fashioned or still repeat the same preaching, which makes Huang Zhanyuan not interested at all.
I wanted to leave for a while, but suddenly I saw some writers in front of me who seemed to be arguing about something, and I walked over unconsciously.
When he heard the sentence that I just want to write a good story, Huang Zhanyuan was a little touched.
yes, I just wanted to write a good story.
Compared with writing, for some of them, directors just want to make a good-looking film and television work.
As for what thoughts and connotations came out after filming this film and television work, this is not what Huang Zhanyuan considered.
His first consideration was whether this movie would attract the audience, and whether the audience liked it or not. If it's just to say something, just to embody some thoughts, then it's better not to shoot.
"I heard that after Director Huang finished filming ****, he was missing a script, did you find it?"
"Not yet."
Huang Zhanyuan shook his head, but kept looking at Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning naturally knows the famous Huang Zhanyuan, and in later generations, Huang Zhanyuan also filmed a lot of interesting TV series. Like the **** splendid in the early days, and then the time travel TV series in the back and so on. It can be said that Huang Zhanyuan's vision in film and television has long been ahead of other people in China.
"Absolutely."
Looking at Huang Zhanyuan's inquiring gaze, Zhang Ning handed over the sample book in his hand.
"First intimate encounter."
"Good name, attractive."
Huang Zhanyuan nodded, and everyone was shocked.
The writers who had just bet on them had some uneasiness on their faces, so they said, "Director Huang, it's just a name, don't pay attention to it." ”
It's just that Huang Zhanyuan didn't pay attention to this sentence, but continued to read.
If I have 10 million, I can buy a house.
Do I have 10 million? No.
So, I still don't have a house.
"Interesting, interesting."
Just the first sentence has already attracted Huang Zhanyuan.
Then, when Huang Zhanyuan continued to read, he was deeply attracted to Huang Zhanyuan.
He's been exposed to the Internet, and he's aware of it. And when he read this work, he thought of all kinds of things on the Internet, which inevitably made Huang Zhanyuan feel that this novel was really well written. It not only fully reflects the characteristics of the Internet, but also vividly describes the emotions of young men and women falling in love on the Internet.
Even, this is a novel that reflects the current young boys and girls.
After filming a **** splendid film by yourself, isn't there a lack of a suitable script?
Although this novel is only the first time to read, Huang Zhanyuan has already made up his mind.
"Little brother, is your pen name Zhang Ning?"
Turning back to the page and looking at the pen name on the paper, Huang Zhanyuan looked at the young man in front of him.
"Yes, Zhang Ning is not only my pen name, but also my real name."
"The pen name is the real name, interesting, just as interesting as the novel you wrote."
Huang Zhanyuan praised again and again, and later said, "Little brother, this novel of yours is very good, I want to buy it and make it into a TV series, are you willing to sell this work to me?" ”
