Although I went to many places, went abroad to interview experts, and worked hard to improve my writing skills, and the number of readings never decreased, the results of the column still did not go up.

Although the editor-in-chief also knows that in this era, as long as a short article grasps the hot spot, readers will naturally flock to it, and some carefully written columns, although they have consulted a lot of information, done a lot of field interviews, and spent a few weeks or even months to complete a column of about 10,000 words, readers are in a hurry to browse, sometimes just look at the title, those who are interested take a look at it, and those who are not interested are directly filtered out.

There are too many articles these years, and there are too many places to publish opinions, and there are opinions on any mobile phone application, such as Toutiao, public account, Zhihu, Weibo, and various short videos.

After all, since things like paper magazines have gradually become antiques, columnists are actually not a fragrant profession, many people don't need to read this kind of long articles, no matter what in-depth analysis or exclusive decryption, how many young people are interested?

For some so-called old readers, they are busy day and night, but the real consumers are still young people.

"Fast food culture." Pan Xiaoqing muttered in her heart.

Just then, the phone rings in the car stereo.

Pan Xiaoqing looked at the contact, frowned, took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

"Hey." The listlessness under the strong fighting spirit.

The other party was full of interest, and the high-pitched female voice said: "See you tomorrow, do you plan to take the matter of that program planning, this is very good, I think it is suitable for Xiaoqing's current situation." ”

'Where am I now?' What is my condition now? Pan Xiaoqing muttered in her heart.

After slowing down slightly, Pan Xiaoqing temporarily parked his car outside a parking lot at the bottom of the mountain.

I have to enter the tunnel further, although I use the car hands-free, but after all, I am talking on the phone while driving, and this woman named Grace, Pan Xiaoqing really can't love it, this woman always feels that she knows herself better than others, and she always speaks, "I think this is very suitable for your current situation." ”

In a word, it first occupies the high ground of superiority.

Isn't it just that the rich second generation came out to do a show, came back from studying in Europe, studied a major in visual culture, and didn't think about what he was going to do, just pulling people to talk about various projects all day long. ’

Complaining is complaining, Grace's phone Pan Xiaoqing still answered.

In order to avoid getting angry, Pan Xiaoqing stopped the car.

Grace said again, "How's it going?" Let you go back and watch the first season's [Strange - Wonderful Showdown], have you watched it? The healer in it, the one who is very polite, have you paid attention to him? ”

How can Pan Xiaoqing have the time to watch this kind of show, the reality show comedy show also involves a group of young elites in the academic and business circles, and wants to cultivate a wave of KOLs at every turn, these people don't need to be on the show in fact, they can become big numbers through existing Weibo and the like, and they don't need to work so hard at all A group of people follow the script to act, and if you don't get it, you have to talk about a tragic history of studying, how boring it is.

"I looked at it a little." Pan Xiaoqing lied.

Grace was quiet for a few seconds, and seemed to be a little skeptical of Pan Xiaoqing's words, but considering that Pan Xiaoqing is also a well-known columnist in the circle, her writing is excellent, and the readers are not too small, she still wants to cooperate with Pan Xiaoqing.

"So, you go back and take a good look, there's still time to do it, Xiaoqing, I know you're a graduate of a prestigious university, and the two of us have similar family backgrounds, you can't eat your parents' at home, and you have to work hard a little bit, isn't it, it's good to write a column, and your reputation is not bad, but it's still necessary to keep pace with the times, you see that some writers don't write physical books anymore and rewrite online articles, this era is all about being linked to traffic in order to have something to do with money, don't you say?"

is clearly only twenty-five or sixteen years old, I don't know why, Pan Xiaoqing feels that she speaks very realistically, and she doesn't have the romantic temperament to learn art at all. It's so realistic that she feels very uncomfortable.

Bad mood all the way, after arriving home, Pan Xiaoqing felt that the air at home was also very depressing, they were all Year Beasts, and the New Year was a very terrible Year Beast, this kind of folk saying, Pan Xiaoqing didn't like it at all, but now she thinks that it is probably really like this, there is such a thing called the Year Beast that will condense the winter air into a cement-like wall.

If you go east, you will bump into it, and if you go west, you will get blocked.

What a year beast, it's simply a trapped beast.

Because of the business slump, the overall European economy has declined, resulting in a heavy blow to the clothing industry, and I don't know if people don't love beauty anymore or what's going on.

The Pan family, which has always been engaged in the international garment processing business, has encountered the coldest winter.

Now let alone go home to manage the garment factory, even if she wants to go home to take care of affairs, there is nothing to take care of.

Originally, Pan Xiaoqing never asked about the family's business, I don't know why, since Christmas, she has been a little concerned about the family's business, maybe it's a family after all.

Seeing his parents frowning all day long about business matters, Pan Xiao thought that he should either not go home and continue to find a reason to go abroad for interviews, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Not to mention the business at home, Pan Xiaoqing's own career seems to have encountered a bottleneck.

She locked herself in the door, a huge villa, her parents' bedroom was on the second floor, her study and bedroom were on the third floor, and she basically didn't have to meet if she didn't want to meet on weekdays, but Pan Xiaoqing felt that she probably fell into some of the "different worlds" often mentioned in the Internet or "some kind of ability suddenly awakened", she doesn't watch any Internet on weekdays, and always feels that those things are not nutritious, and they are not things that an orthodox author who loves literature should see.

But whether it's a different world or an ability awakening, such concepts don't just appear on the Internet, and they can be understood just literally.

Another world—isn't it a world that is different from the time and space of the earth? For example, a person wakes up from sleep and finds herself in a pig growing as tall as a building, a tiger eating watermelon in a skirt, and a dinosaur being led by a horse as a pet.

This is another world, with elves, monsters, and normal human life, and maybe some Cthulhu or something.
