Liquan University is a vice-ministerial-level university in China, and simply put, Cao Yuyang, as the president of Liquan University, is a vice-minister, which is equivalent to the level of a provincial governor.

Cao Yuyang's identity is not small, but after saying what he said just now, he was still nervously waiting for Su Shichen's answer. Generally speaking, having a university of the level of Liquan University to support the writing of a historical publication can definitely be said to be a very proud thing, and if other authors are expected to hold a press conference to publicize it to the world.

The history department of Gainrycheon University can be said to be the most famous in the country. You don't see some famous writers of historical fiction who are not sure about some issues when they are writing, so they need to go to Liquan University to ask some experts and professors. It is conceivable that it is not a very glorious thing to be commissioned by the president of Liquan University to write a historical novel?

This is indeed an honor for other authors, it can be said that it is an accumulation of qualifications and fame for themselves, at least with the full recommendation of Liquan University, it is no problem to sell more than five million.

Some people are about to say that the sales of these five million are not high, but you must know that the types of books are different, and the sales are also different, for example, this non-fiction novel and speculative novel. The sales of mystery novels in this shijie need more than 10 million to be considered to be on the list of best-selling mystery novels, but can this standard be used to measure non-fiction novels? No.

Not to mention 10 million for non-fiction, it is a success for a non-fiction to sell 1 million, and 5 million is a very good result for a historical publication. Since the cultural explosion of Shijie in 2008, various writers and genres have emerged. But there are less than 20 out of 5 million historical novels, so 5 million sales is pretty good for a historical publication. And regardless of the genre, selling five million copies of a book is also extremely haode, and not everyone is a pervert like Su Shichen.

But five million sales really don't care for Su Shichen, just like his "Frozen Throne" sold more than seven million on the first day, and Su Shichen has two books that also sold more than five million on the first day, "The Matrix I Hacker Mission" and "Warcraft I Frozen Throne" are both novels that sold more than five million on the first day.

Then there is the issue of adding qualifications. At present, Su Shichen is the first Chinese writer, which means that he has reached the top of China, and the next thing is to go to Asia. What is the use of developing in Europe and the United States, so domestic qualifications?

To put it simply, if Su Shichen accepted his commission to write a historical publication, he would not get much benefit. On the contrary, it will delay a lot of time.

Under the same amount of time. Su Shichen does not write history and other topics, and the gains he gets will be far greater than that of writing historical themes.

In this case, it is really unknown whether Su Shichen can agree.

The entire principal's office was eerily quiet, completely out of step with the bustling aisles outside.

Cao Yuyang waited for Su Shichen's reply, and Su Shichen was also thinking.

Su Shichen thought for a long time, leaned on the sofa and said with a smile: "I saw a news on TV before, the news of a popular star attending a press conference. Although Cao Yuyang didn't know, the topic of weishenme suddenly turned to popular stars. However, he also knew that Su Shichen must have a good intention when he said this, so he didn't interject. Just listening.

In the question of a question and answer, the host inadvertently threw out a question, which dynasty Yue Fei is from. is such a very simple question, but the answer of this popular star is the Ming Dynasty, saying that Yue Fei is an anti-Japanese hero. Su Shichen's tone was helpless.

Yue Fei was a famous anti-Jin general in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was right to answer the Song Dynasty. Even if he answered the Northern Song Dynasty, although it was still wrong, Su Shichen was a little easier to understand, after all, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were often mistaken, but this star's answer can be said to be outrageously wrong, and he directly tampered with Yue Fei's profession.

Cao Yuyang also fell into silence and sighed heavily: "This has something to do with the environment, although the state and the Writers' Association have been vigorously supporting historical publications in recent years, but history has a unique sense of heaviness, and this sense of heaviness directly causes people to feel a sense of dullness, which directly causes the reading to be very wide, so that many people will not know anything else privately in addition to learning the knowledge above the textbook, and even historical publications are far from being as good as the classification of history in online literature. That's why I want to use Su Writer and your popularity to drive the historical publishing industry. ”

This is the reason why Cao Yuyang asked Su Shichen to write, to make it clear, he wants to use Su Shichen's fame to pull up the subject of historical publishing, which is definitely not a wishful thinking. Before this, Cao Yuyang did an investigation, when Su Shichen wrote "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", there were at least two more layers of novels on the market, and when he wrote "The Matrix", it was even more obvious, and science fiction veterans and newcomers issued books one after another.

At the height of The Frozen Throne, the publisher received every ten submissions, four of which were Western fantasy. This kind of phenomenal ability is unmatched by anyone, including Chu Xing. Otherwise, why would he be the president of Liquan University?

Su Shichen said: "It is possible to make people happy and read history, just like my last lecture, history can actually be written very interestingly." ”

Cao Yuyang pondered Su Shichen's words, and recalled Su Shichen's very impressive lecture a few months ago: "There is a difference between lectures and writing, and narrating history in this way will work very well in the classroom, but in writing, won't the heaviness of history be lost?" ”

Cao Yuyang's worry is not unreasonable, can he still succeed if he loses the most important weight in history?

However, Su Shichen's view is the opposite: "Among the two options of heaviness and fun, if I have to choose one, I will choose the latter, because only when it is interesting will it attract more readers, and some readers are interested in history, and in the same way, readers can only appreciate the heaviness of history if they are interested in history, and they must do things step by step." ”

Su Shichen smiled: "I've been thinking about a question before, those psoriasis advertisements for psoriasis treatment for mental illness on roadside telephone poles, 'treatment of mental illness, please look for XX old military doctor' such an advertisement, will there really be customers who believe it?" "But when you watch too many advertisements for psoriasis, at a certain time or when you are resting or at work, this advertising phrase will suddenly pop out of your head, and then you will wonder if your head is broken, and you will pop up such an advertisement, whether you really should go to see the old military doctor."

"This is the customer base without mental illness, so find a way to turn ordinary people into mental illness and create customer needs for themselves."

"It's like history, of course, history is a thing that is so valuable that it can't be compared with psoriasis, I'm just giving you a more vivid example. As President Cao said just now, the heaviness of history has caused a narrow reading crowd, so we should find a way to change historical novels and create historical novels that customers need. ”

"I don't think people don't like to read history, they just don't like to be too heavy and serious in addition to reading books, if it weren't for that, the history category in the online article would not be so popular, so it is absolutely necessary to make history easier."

Cao Yuyang nodded, he was persuaded by Su Shichen's words just now: "If you need to find any materials, you can say it, write Su, don't dare to say anything else, in terms of historical materials, our library of Liquan University is the most complete." He took a library card from the table and handed it to Su Shichen.

"The school library is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and by the way, what era are you going to write about? Is it the Spring and Autumn Warring States period that I talked about last time? ”

Put the library card in your pocket: "There are indeed a lot to write about in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but what I want to write about is not this era, of course, the era I want to write about is also very chaotic, and it can be said to be the most famous paragraph in ancient history." ”

"Three Kingdoms?" The most famous section of history is the division of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is indeed the most famous in terms of popularity.

There are people in the world who don't know Fang Xuanling and Guan Zhong, but there are very few people who don't know Zhuge Liang. The most direct thing is that in the classification of online history, the theme of the Three Kingdoms is much more than other themes of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

There are many people who write about famous themes, and this rule is not only applicable in online articles, but also in published literature, so it is ......

"During the Three Kingdoms period, I remember that our school made a statistic. Among the 32 historical publications published this year, 15 of them are all about the Three Kingdoms, whether it is the Battle of Chibi or the Battle of Guandu, etc., they have been written all over again. Cao Yuyang suggested.

"I don't need to change it, even if more people write about the Three Kingdoms this year, I can guarantee that the style I write is unique." Su Shichen confidently issued such a declaration.

For such a confident Su Shichen, Cao Yuyang had nothing to say, so he had to wait and see.

In Liquan University here, Su Shichen and Cao Yuyang talked about historical publications, and he had to be busy again. At the same time on the Internet, Su Shichen uploaded the recordings of "Infinite Terror" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", which was a "small gift" to book fans, which caused a lot of movement, and it is said that because of this gift, Su Shichen was scolded by many people for his lack of morality......

ps: Everyone forgets the time, ahhhhh In addition, the stars in the article are purely fictional and do not imply to anyone......

I thought that the kitten would write about those things in the Ming Dynasty, how could haha make it so easy for everyone to guess, it would be boring. (To be continued......)
