Sitting in the grape car, Chen Ping couldn't help but recall the situation of the video interview with Sanjiang, the starting point of his previous life.

Grape glanced at Chen Ping beside him, saw that his face was serious, and said with a smile: "What? Nervous? Seeing that Chen Ping was silent, Grape said again: "Don't be afraid, there is a brother." Besides, we don't go anywhere else, but in a separate designated office within the company, they are all acquaintances, and we are afraid of hair. ”

Chen Ping glanced at the grapes and said, "Is there anyone in your company who can make my brother fear?" Don't think too highly of yourself. Looking at the grapes with an excited face, Chen Ping asked again: "Wasn't it all text interviews in the past?" Why did you suddenly come up with a video interview this time? Whose attention? ”

The corners of Grape's mouth hooked, and he smiled: "Although the text interview is good, this kind of interview makes the reader unable to see the author, and if it is only through words, it seems to be estranged." The video is different, although there is less interaction between the reader and the author, but it allows the reader to really see the author's words and deeds, the sense of distance is shortened, and this is also a way to change the direction of the author, these years, the author's personal popularity is becoming more and more important. ”

Grape is telling the truth, and with the continuous rise of rookie authors, readers at the starting point have slowly begun to divide circles around their favorite authors. The popular god naturally has more fans, and if there are more fans, the results will naturally not be too bad. It is not because the newcomer author is difficult to get out because he writes badly, but because a large number of fans have invested a lot of money and energy in those great god authors, and the newcomer author can only survive on the only subscription.

Chen Ping was silent, if he didn't have the memory of his previous life, even in the era when online literature was just starting, would he be famous? Even if you are famous, how much do you need to pay to achieve your current status and glory? Chen Ping didn't dare to think about it, so in this life, he could only do his best to help those newcomers, of course, at least he had to talk to himself. In his previous life, after the god machine left, didn't he cooperate with another great god to start a foundation to encourage newcomers to write? In Chen Ping's view, it was just a hype, and it didn't play a big role for newcomers at all. If you really have the heart to help newcomers, if their works are not bad, helping to promote them will be much better than the few hundred yuan a month given by the foundation.

"Do you know who came up with the video interview method?" Grape smiled even more, with a defiant look in his eyes.

Chen Ping didn't bother to talk to him and didn't say anything.

"Do you guess you're going to die?" Seeing that Chen Ping didn't accept the offer at all, the grapes were a little annoyed and angry, but Zuihou still couldn't insist on Chen Ping, so he had to shake his head stupidly, and then said, "It's Li Meiqi." ”

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then suddenly realized. The two have come together and naturally want to get to know each other. Problems encountered at work can also become a topic of conversation and conversation for a couple, Li Meiqi can sit in the position of project manager in a real estate company, her mind is naturally not stupid, and it is not impossible to come up with a video interview method.

"How's it going?"

Speaking of Maggie Lee, the light in the grape's eyes is brighter.

"Speaking of which, you've got to be xiexie. Do you remember the last time Huang Qian came back? I guess it's May! That night, I was in charge of sending Li Meiqi back, and when I went back, I chatted for a while, and found that this girl was very good, and I asked for contact information on impulse. Later, we chatted slowly by text message, and in July, I invited her to dinner, and we talked a lot that day. Speaking of this, Grape couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Ping, looking excited, and said to Chen Ping: "You know, we actually have a common hobby, and it is this hobby that makes our relationship closer." ”

Hobby?

Chen Ping had few opportunities to meet Li Meiqi, so he didn't know what Li Meiqi had any hobbies. But grapes, Chen Ping thinks he knows a lot, and he hasn't heard him say that he has any hobbies.

"What hobby?"

Grape smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't tell you this now, but when our goal is achieved, it will definitely surprise you." ”

The two of them chatted all the way, and it was close to five o'clock in the afternoon when they came to the starting point company. The video interview starts at half past seven, but for the effect of the video recording, Chen Ping must familiarize himself with the things that need to be paid attention to when the process has been recorded.

Video interviews, to put it bluntly, are no different from text interviews, except that readers can see the author's demeanor and expressions, words and deeds. At the beginning, it is still the author's introduction that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, introducing Chen Ping's creative experience, introducing the achievements of Chen Ping's works, and then talking about the new book, the editor of the starting point will ask Chen Ping a few questions for Chen Ping to answer, and then let Chen Ping roughly explain the ideas of the new book, so that readers can know part of the plot in advance. But the plot they know must be able to arouse their desire to read, and only in this way can the new book attract more people to read it.

I have to say that although Chen Ping doesn't like to be lively, but he is a man in two lives, he becomes calm when he faces the camera, generous and decent clothes, fair skin, and his thin figure, but it shows a hint of literati atmosphere, Grape originally prepared clothes for him flat glasses, saying that wearing glasses looks more gentle, which can attract a lot of female fans to Chen Ping, but Chen Ping refused.

The video interview was recorded smoothly, ending on time at half past eight o'clock, and after walking out of the recording room specially prepared at the starting point, Chen Ping knew that the number of people watching the video interview online had exceeded 30,000. According to the company's projection, based on the popularity that mortals now have, as long as the number of online viewers can exceed 15,000, the effectiveness of the video interview will be proven. As a result, the highest figure was twice as high as expected, and not only the starting company was happy, but also the grapes. The video interview was originally a suggestion made by myself, but now that the trial is successful, I must add a stroke to my resume.

Originally, Grape needed to send Chen Ping back, but while he was happy, Grape parked the car in the parking lot downstairs of the company, and pulled Chen Ping to the food stall that the two were more familiar with in a taxi.

Before Chen Ping opened a new book, Grape was in a hurry, and now that he has opened a new book, Grape is also in a hurry. He did tell Chen Ping that he needed to use a fantasy or fairy tale novel to increase his popularity, but he didn't expect Chen Ping to choose the outdated Western fantasy novel as the genre of his new work.

Western fantasy is outdated, not because there is no market for the genre of Western fantasy, but because there are too many people who write Western fantasy novels in the first two years, and the quality of the works has become different.

Of course, if you look at the current popularity of mortals, you may be able to achieve good results, but it is difficult to break through this shackle! This made Grape, who was the editor in charge of mortals, very worried, and he thought about persuading mortals to give up the book and start it again. But he also knows Chen Ping, although Chen Ping usually behaves very easy-going, but he has a stubbornness in his bones.

"I read this "Demon Law", the highlights at the beginning are not enough, and the current results are completely eating the old book, to put it bluntly, it is all read by the Mortal League and those readers who know your fame, if you can't write an amazing plot later, this book is easy to hit the street. Your current situation is different from before, in the past you can only be regarded as a rising rookie, although the results are good, but the background is insufficient, there are no scruples at all, and it is very suitable for you to become a beneficiary if you don't succeed. But now, your position is much more secure, and you have a large number of die-hard fans, and if you write a book now, it will be very bad for you. ”

Chen Ping nodded, did not speak, he believed in Du Wei, believed that this young man who was reborn like himself, had just been reborn to resist the new shijie, and then was aroused by the new shijie's people and things, and Du Wei would give the reader a satisfactory answer after the goal!

"A high-quality novel does not rely on the beginning, I believe in myself, and I believe that Du Wei can bring different feelings to readers!"
