When the blood red was sighing, what was Chen Ping doing?

……

Li Qiushui determined the direction of writing with the help of Chen Ping, and after returning to school, he began to constantly conceive the plot and set the characters and plot when he was not in class. Sometimes a flash of inspiration suddenly flashes in my head, I record it with my mobile phone, and then return to the dormitory to plump up and refine it.

Finally, after more than a month of hard work, I finally wrote an outline of more than 50,000 words according to Chen Ping's requirements, and it was also foreshadowed with most of the character settings.

After writing it, there was no time to check and fill in the gaps, so I hurriedly came to Chen Ping. At this time, Chen Ping was flipping through the outline he had written.

Chen Ping looked at it very carefully, and after about an hour, he turned his head to Li Qiushui and said: "The outline is relatively clear, and it is also very delicate, if you can write the plot in the outline, you can probably write more than one million words, and the plot setting is quite enthusiastic." ”

In Li Qiushui's eyes, Chen Ping is not his future brother-in-law, but a great god mortal with a prominent position in the online literature industry. Hearing the mortal's affirmation of the outline he wrote, a trace of pride flashed in Li Qiushui's eyes, and then he quickly put it away, looked at Chen Ping with a modest and cautious look, and asked, "Brother-in-law, if this book is written, can it be popular?" ”

Chen Ping glanced at Li Qiushui and said, "Do you think that you can become popular by writing a book casually?" Then you are underestimating the readers. They are still very picky, especially books with niche themes. In addition to attracting those hot-blooded young people, most of the readers you write about military are military fans, or readers who love military affairs. Do you think that a group of readers who look at online novels with a professional eye are so easy to deal with? ”

Li Qiushui's face suddenly became ugly, and he muttered: I didn't plan to write this book in the first place, but what did you say that I was suitable for writing an outline that I just wrote, but now I actually poured cold water.

"I look at the clips stored in your mobile phone are very good, and you yourself said that you are a military enthusiast, so I encourage you to be a military enthusiast." Chen Ping replied, and then continued: "Also, those who write online articles, how many people have you seen become popular with a book? Is that more likely than thousands of writers? Don't pin your hopes on slim luck. In addition, although military novels are a niche group, once they seem to be relatively good, readers will basically subscribe to support them, so you can write your book with peace of mind, even if the first book can't be popular, it can lay a solid foundation for you. If you still write books in the future, it will be easy to become popular. ”

"Okay, I'll start writing when I go back tomorrow, and when I write a beginning, you can help me find an editor to sign a contract." I've heard that it's hard to sign a contract if you don't know a few old authors or editors at the beginning. Li Qiushui said it seriously, as if he knew a lot of inside stories.

Chen Ping couldn't help but glance at him again, and said: "The news you heard is all fake, the purpose of the VIP novel at the starting point is to make a profit, how can it be possible to sign a relationship contract, even if someone really relies on the relationship to sign a contract, if the quality of the novel is not up to par, readers will still not subscribe, in this case, it will not be popular, and there is not even a meager income." ”

Li Qiushui was very gossipy, and after Chen Ping inquired about the true situation of a lot of gossip news, he left with his USB flash drive.

The starting point that has just experienced the turmoil seems to be particularly calm at this time, and the competition on various lists seems to have become lighter, and even some readers who are not on the list will comfort themselves like this: It is good not to be on the list, at least they will not be deducted from the negative number.

On November 5th, Chen Ping opened the homepage of the starting point as usual, and suddenly found that at the top of the homepage of the starting point, there was a banner about Shanda Company.

"Shanda's three games, "Legend of Blood", "Legend Shijie" and "Dream Country", are all free!"

Chen Ping has heard of the first two of the three games displayed on the banner, and it can even be said that most of the people who were in frequent contact with the Internet between 2001 and 2007 have heard of the two games "Legend of Blood" and "Legend Shijie", and these two games have indeed many players, and once became one of the most popular online games in China.

In the past, playing Shanda's online games required recharging point cards, which was tantamount to rejecting a large number of student players, but now that the free model is begins, the number of gamers will definitely skyrocket in a short period of time.

And the starting point is a subsidiary of Shanda, and the daily views are so large, Shanda will certainly not refuse such publicity.

After closing this promotional webpage, Chen Ping put the content that needed to be updated today, and then began to look through the book reviews posted by book friends last night.

At noon, Grape made a phone call, saying that he asked Chen Ping to take time to go to the company in the afternoon, saying that the editor-in-chief had something to do with him.

Editor-in-chief looking for me?

Chen Ping wondered in his heart, but he still agreed, anyway, he was idle at home, so he should go out and exercise for a while.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, after reaching the starting point, I went directly to the editor-in-chief's office.

The editor-in-chief was alone in the office, constantly typing on the computer screen, Chen Ping walked over and saw that he was writing, so he didn't speak, but the editor-in-chief knew that Chen Ping came in, saw him walking towards him, quickly left the keyboard, got up and let Chen Ping go to the reception area. Poured a glass of boiling water before speaking.

"Starting Point: Have you read the promotional page of Shanda Games?"

Chen Ping was a little puzzled, does this game promotion have anything to do with me? He actually asked me if I had seen it, nodded his head, and did not speak.

"Are you wondering in your heart, this game has nothing to do with you, and I still ask like this?" Seeing the surprised look on Chen Ping's face, the editor-in-chief smiled lightly and said: "You don't want to think about it, I'm busy every day and can't find a direction, how can I have the leisure to call you to ask you about these things that have nothing to do with you." ”

Hearing what the editor-in-chief said, Chen Ping was even more puzzled, thinking of what he said about the game, an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, this idea made Chen Ping a little shocked, and looked at the editor-in-chief in disbelief and asked, "Could it be that Shanda is preparing to adapt "Immortal Rebellion"?" ”

This time, it was the turn of the editor-in-chief to be surprised, stared at Chen Ping for a long time, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "I have long heard others say that you have a keen insight into the dynamics of the online literature industry, and I didn't believe it at first, but today I can see it, I just said the grand game promotion, you can think about the game adaptation, I don't know if you are bold, or you got the news in advance." ”

"Do you really want to adapt "Immortal Rebellion"?" Listening to the tone of the editor-in-chief, Chen Ping seemed to have guessed correctly, but he still couldn't believe it, because in his previous life, "Immortal Rebellion" was not adapted into an online game at all.

The editor-in-chief nodded lightly and said, "It's just the intention now, Shanda hasn't been determined yet, I just called you over just to talk to you in advance, so that you can be mentally prepared." However, according to the analysis of the news I have gotten, there is a good chance of adaptation, and if nothing else, it will be decided this month, and you will definitely be notified when the time comes. ”
