Chapter Seventy-Nine: Not Recommended!
The development cycle of the whole game is very short, just like the short content of the game itself.
The only thing the player needs to do is control an old man on crutches, walk to a bench in the middle of the cemetery, sit down, and listen to music until the game ends – and finally dies.
The scene used in the game, that is, the cemetery, was pieced together with free materials, and the image of the old man took a little time, and Hao Yun used the game editor to barely pinch a human face like that.
Because he didn't plan to sell it for money, Hao Yun admitted that he was indeed a little perfunctory when he did it, and finally put on a black and white filter, and then went to the free music library to find a piece of music suitable for funerals, fine-tuned it with his musical talent, and then synthesized such a nondescript game.
By the way, can this thing really be called a game?
At least Hao Yun's self-perception is that this thing is more like a shoddy 3D animation than a game.
But no matter what, my answer sheet is handed over, and I will know at the end of the month.
Named this program, or the game, "Cemetery", Hao Yun simply wrote a few lines of explanatory text and attached it to the compressed package uploaded together.
[This is a game that makes people think about the meaning of life.] 】
"In this way, it can be regarded as echoing the theme."
Hao Yun didn't ask for anything else, he just wanted to be able to qualify for the finals, and when the time came, he would be on the dean's side.
There was still a while before the meal, and he was idle anyway, Hao Yun couldn't help but open the writer's backstage and take a look, but unexpectedly found that there was actually news from the editor?
[Liu Ye: Hello, I am the editor-in-charge of Xiake.com, is it convenient to add WeChat? I'd like to talk to you about the work and the contract. 】
Finally signing a contract?
Hao Yun, who has never been a writer, was still a little excited in his heart, and immediately added this Liu Yeda's WeChat according to the contact information of the author's background.
Whether to sign or not to sign is a trivial matter, the key is to sign a contract to be recommended, and to be recommended to be seen by other readers.
Relying on Lao Zheng's tap water everywhere, it would be good not to collect all the few he had, let alone let more people see it.
As soon as WeChat was added, a message was quickly sent from the other side.
It can be seen that Xia Ke.com still attaches great importance to him!
Willow Leaf: [Hello, I'm Willow Leaf! Your responsibility for editing. 】
The owner of the pearl house: [Hello, hello, I am the owner of the pearl house! ] (Tooth baring)】
Liu Ye: [Hello landlord! Looking at your circle of friends, are you still in college? 】
Does the contract also depend on age and occupation?
Seeing this line of news, Hao Yun hesitated, but still typed and told the truth.
[Uh, yes, what's wrong?] 】
Liu Ye: [It's nothing, your writing is good, I'll just ask casually.] 】
Huanzhu Mansion Master: [Oh, it's okay, although I'm still in school, I still have plenty of time, and I will definitely update it on time in the future!] (Tooth baring)】
Looking at the message sent from the other side, Liu Ye smiled and was about to send the contract over, when suddenly the thumb hanging on the screen paused again.
According to the next process, he should mention the signing of the contract with the owner of the Huanzhu Building.
However......
Editor-in-chief Wang told him that he would not invest any resources in this book, and if he signed the book like this and left it to fend for himself, it would undoubtedly harm him.
Especially since the person who wrote such a good work turned out to be a student.
If it was because of his rash move today, he watched his works sink into the sea, completely lost confidence in writing from then on, and stopped creating in the future, wouldn't it be a loss for the world of online literature and even martial arts novels?
The same old mistake I used to make when I was a reader is repeated.
Liu Ye, who loves talents, really couldn't bear it, and after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and sent a message to the past.
[The contract for signing the month is here, but to be honest, I suggest you think about it again.] 】
This should not have been said, especially not for him, an editor of Xiake.com.
Hao Yun, who saw this, was also very confused.
He didn't expect that the contracts were all sent, and the other side actually asked him to think about it?
What does it mean?
However, before he could ask, the Willow Leaf brother sent two more messages.
[I'll be honest, although our Xia Ke Network is the largest martial arts novel serialization station in the industry, the competitive pressure here is also very great, and the resources are very tight. So even if you sign now, you're probably going to have to keep going for a long time. My suggestion is that you might as well go to other stations, such as Sea Lion Reading or something, they have been doing martial arts recently, and they should be interested in your work. 】
[I'm just casually mentioning it, you just need to think about it, and don't take it too seriously. 】
That's all there is to say.
Whether he can comprehend it or not can only depend on himself.
After sending these two lines of messages, Liu Ye waited for a while, and finally saw a message coming back from the other side.
The owner of the Huanzhu Building: [Thank you then...... I'll think about signing a contract again. (embarrassing)]
Liu Ye: [Hmm! Come on! (smiles)]
To be honest, the reason why he chose this industry was because of his love.
Otherwise, with his academic qualifications, he would have a better choice, and he would not be as reluctant to make ends meet as he is now.
Regardless of whether it is meaningful or not, after all, he saved a teenager who was about to fall into a deep pit, and Liu Ye felt quite satisfied with his righteous behavior.
The only thing that worries him a little is that what if this kid listens to him and goes to another station and still doesn't sign a contract?
In this way, wouldn't he have done a bad thing with good intentions by refusing his visa?
Thinking of this, Liu Ye suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of someone.
This person's name is Qin Jian, and his pen name is Qijian, the author of martial arts literature written by him a long time ago, and the two have a good relationship in reality, and they are relatively good buddies.
After that, even if Qijian didn't write a book on Xiake.com, but went to Sea Lion Reading, a subsidiary of the Friends Sealion Group, to become an editor, and even sat all the way to the editor-in-chief of the martial arts classification, their friendship was not broken.
In the past two years, because of the layout of the parent company in the film and television industry, Sea Lion Reading, as a content supplier, has always wanted to make a big classification of martial arts, but the readers who read this kind of article are all on the side of Xiake.com, and they will not go to Sea Lion Reading to find this type of book at all.
In Qijian's own words, he went to the sea lion to read there to support the elderly, anyway, the family has a big business, and it is not bad for his KPI.
But having said that, Liu Ye could feel it at several gatherings that this guy still had the idea of doing something in his heart, but he didn't have that opportunity, so he pretended not to care and laughed at himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Ye was entangled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and took out his mobile phone to call his good brother.
Anyway, the help is all helped, just help to the end!
Although he himself felt that he was a bit nosy in doing so......
"Hello? Seven Swords, what are you busy with? ”
"What else can you do at this point besides eating, what's wrong, why did you suddenly remember to call me today?" Hearing the voice of his old friend, Qin Jian laughed and teased.
"I can't call you if it's okay?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what the hell is going on."
After being silent for a while, Liu Ye spoke.
"Do you have time to talk about novels?"
"Novels?" Hearing this unexpected answer, Qin Jian was stunned, "Are you going to write a book?" ”
Originally, when he received this call at this point, he thought he was borrowing money, and he was even ready to borrow money, but he didn't expect it to be a discussion of novels?
Can't you talk about this thing on WeChat?
"What am I writing, it's not my book," Liu Ye sighed and continued, "That's right, I recently saw a novel, and I think it's quite interesting, and I'm going to push it to you." ”
"Yo, when did you become so generous?" Qin Jian teased and said, "This time, you're not afraid that I will poach your precious author?" ”
"Just dig, hurry, you're welcome."
"Wait, you can't be so generous, I have to think about it...... You must be hiding something from me. ”
Hearing his old friend's words, Liu Ye was silent for a while, and finally spoke slowly.
"I'll tell you the truth, I originally planned to sign this book, but Wang Ze has an opinion, citing the group's KPIs and market trends. What he meant was that it was okay to sign a contract, but follow-up resources would not be considered. I thought that this is a cheat, if I sign it, wouldn't it be a cheat? I thought it would be better to recommend him to try his luck with you. ”
"This Wang Ze is a bit interesting," Qin Jian touched his chin, "Do you think this guy will have an enmity with you?" How do I feel...... As long as it is a book that you sign, he will bury it for you if there is a little quality, and those who push it up are all goods that hit the street just by reading the title of the book. ”
Liu Ye: "Don't talk nonsense, I haven't offended him." ”
"That's not easy to say, and sometimes being excluded doesn't necessarily have to offend people," Qin Jian smiled, "You are the veteran of the Xia Ke Network, when I was still an author, you were the editor there, right?" Now I heard that you are very good at grasping KPIs, and you are still doing something to eliminate the last position, I guess it is that this guy is worried that you have been promoted to editor-in-chief and have taken away all the authors and editors in the group. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Jian smiled maliciously and instigated while the iron was hot.
"Why don't you come to our sea lion to read? We manage KPIs loosely here, and it's still good to live a good life for the elderly. ”
Hearing his old friend's proposal, Liu Ye was silent for a long time.
Probably guessing that his good brother was reluctant to his old club, Qin Jian sighed and smiled in a relaxed atmosphere.
"Well, I know you have your own ideas, and my brother doesn't mean anything else, just to tell you that there is a way back here. I looked back at that book, and we recommended it as a good book. ”
"It's not that exaggerated, it's just my personal preference, and my vision is not good now. If he does go to you, you can give him a chance to prove himself......"
"You can rest assured that I will not mix personal feelings when I review the manuscript, you can rest assured of this!"
After hanging up the phone, Qin Jian put down the lunch box in his hand, opened WeChat and glanced at the title of the book sent by Liu Ye.
The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan?
The name looks quite ordinary, and there are no bright spots.
Logged on to the chivalrous website and searched for the title of the book, and then looked at the introduction, which was also mediocre and unremarkable, and I couldn't see anything.
So far, he has not seen the potential of this book to be a big seller, and Qin Jian can't help but wonder why his old editor is so optimistic about this book.
Maybe......
Is it the content?
With a stomach full of questions, he opened the text and continued to read.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Immersed in it, he completely lost track of time.
It wasn't until the four big characters of "to be continued" came into view, and he suddenly came back to his senses while holding the chopsticks in his right hand.
it?
Why is it only nine chapters gone?!
At this moment, he didn't realize that it was already dark outside the window.
And the lunch box at hand has already cooled down......
