Although the identity is a bit weird, Chen Beiming doesn't care, the task of the system is completed, and this is enough.

After going through the relevant procedures, Chen Beiming began to contact Ma Youwei.

The General Political Department's management of new recruits is still very strict, basically similar to a normal army, there are morning exercises every day, training every day, and most of the other times have tasks, of course, there will be personal time, but they are not as free as real artists.

However, because many people's procedures have not yet been completed, such as those college graduates, who have not yet graduated, this period of time is equivalent to a window period for Chen Beiming, which is just right for him to complete the tasks specified by the system.

During this period of time, he has been busy applying for the post of General Political Department, and he specially told Ma Youwei not to disturb him, unless there is something very urgent.

So he has actually been in contact with Ma Youwei for a long time.

"Teacher Ma, I'm Chen Beiming."

"Oh, it's Xiaoshan, how is it, did you get in? That's great, congratulations. ”

Ma Youwei didn't ask too much, in his opinion, Chen Beiming, who could write "Bright Sword", was admitted to the post of a writer of the General Political Department, and it was not easy to capture.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and then Ma Youwei went straight to the point: "Are you busy now?" If you're not busy, let's meet, I just have something to tell you. ”

"Okay Teacher Ma, where is it more convenient to meet, I'll come to you."

"If you have time, come directly to my office."

"Okay. See you in that moment. ”

Forty minutes later, Chen Beiming came to Ma Youwei's office.

Knock knock.

He knocked on the door.

Ma Youwei raised his head, and when he saw that the person who knocked on the door was Chen Beiming, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and he immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Xiaoshan, come, come, sit."

He personally made tea for Chen Beiming.

After saying a few words, Ma Youwei went straight to the point: "Xiaoshan, that's the case, the sales data of our "October" this month came out, and it rose by 20%.

We asked someone to do a data survey, and the results showed that 80% of those who increased sales were bought because your "Bright Sword" was good-looking.

So we discussed it and decided to hit the sales target of 5 million next month.

In order to accomplish this goal, we will do a large-scale publicity campaign for "Bright Sword" and you.

You need to do two things, the first is to cooperate with our publicity when necessary, and the second is to speed up the creation, next month we are going to send at least 60,000 words, and on June 25th, the selection of the essay contest will begin, because your work has just started to be serialized, so you also need to provide at least 60,000 words of manuscript to the judges, do you have any problems here? ”

"Nope." Chen Beiming replied simply.

If people want to help him publicize, of course he will not refuse, this is a great opportunity to increase his popularity and influence.

As for the other one, it would be easier for him to increase the number of writings, he now has a computer, 60,000 words, and he can easily complete it in a week.

Ma Youwei saw that Chen Beiming agreed so simply, but he was a little vigilant: "Xiaoshan, the first thing is nothing, but the amount of creation of these 60,000 words is ..... Are you really okay? The manuscript must be delivered on the 20th at the latest. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Ma, I'll definitely be fine here."

Ma Youwei glanced at Chen Beiming seriously and found that he was not joking, so he nodded.

After taking a sip of water, Ma Youwei said: "There is another thing, these days I invited a few old friends to make a comprehensive evaluation of the participation of "Bright Sword" in the essay competition, and everyone's basic opinion is that you should have no problem winning the award, but if you want to win the grand prize, the possibility is too low, so everyone recommends that you rush the first prize." ”

Ma Youwei said this, and Chen Beiming interrupted: "Teacher Ma, I want to win the special prize." ”

"You want to take the grand prize?" Ma Youwei was taken aback.

He originally told Chen Beiming that he hoped that the two of them would work together to win the grand prize, but these days, he has listened to the opinions of many experts, and everyone has the same idea, that is, the grand prize is basically impossible, and the focus should be on the first prize, so he specially asked Chen Beiming to come over today, the purpose is to discuss the next relevant plans.

"Xiaoshan, don't you understand what I just meant....." Ma Youwei looked at Chen Beiming.

But his words were immediately interrupted by Chen Beiming, who emphasized seriously and extremely seriously: "Teacher Ma, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, since I participated in the essay competition, then I will win the special prize!" ”

Ma Youwei stared at Chen Beiming without blinking for three seconds, and then he nodded: "You have this determination, it's good!" ”

It's almost impossible to win the grand prize, but it's a good idea to have it. Anyway, the plans and programs for the impact of the grand prize and the first prize are similar, but if you want to hit the grand prize, all the requirements must be raised, and all the work must be doubled.

"Xiaoshan, since you want to win the grand prize, then Li Mingyu is our biggest competitor, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can not be defeated, so we must first understand where the gap between us and Li Mingyu is." Ma Youwei seriously analyzed Chen Beiming.

"The two novels "Bright Sword" and "Dark Night", in terms of words and sentences, Li Mingyu's "Black Night" is an order of magnitude higher than you, his work, the language is more beautiful, the words and sentences are more exquisite, in this regard, you are not his opponent;

But in terms of storytelling, "Bright Sword" is better.

So on the whole, there is not much difference between the literary nature of "Bright Sword" and "Dark Night", and who will win in the end depends on the preferences of the judges, according to my analysis in the past few days, there are fewer judges who like the style of "Bright Sword" than those who like the style of "Night", so we will take a time to visit all the judges later, increase your good impression in their eyes, and add points to yourself. But at this point, let's be honest, there's not a lot of room to maneuver. ”

Chen Beiming nodded.

"The second thing, and the most important, is to find a way to increase your popularity, on my side, I will try to discuss with the editor-in-chief and help you do publicity through the magazine, but on your side, you can't be idle, you have to work hard yourself."

Chen Beiming nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "Mr. Ma, I have thought of a way in the past few days, I want to write an article and send it to the military newspaper, and use the military newspaper to improve the influence and popularity of "Bright Sword", but the problem now is, I don't know the editor of the military newspaper, so I don't know if my article can be favored by the editor?" Mr. Ma, do you have any acquaintances here? ”

"Military newspapers?" When Ma Youwei heard this, his eyes lit up.

Yes, the military newspaper is the best shortcut, "Bright Sword" is a military work, soldiers must like it the most, if you can publish an article in the military newspaper to promote "Bright Sword", then not only the sales of "October" magazine will increase significantly, but Chen Beiming can also quickly get the support of a large number of readers.

The problem is that he Ma Youwei does not know the editor of the military newspaper.

After thinking about it, Ma Youwei stood up: "Xiaoshan, then let's do it today, you go back first, I will find a way to find the editor of the military newspaper as soon as possible, and I will notify you as soon as there is a result." ”
