Chapter 19: The Peerless and Strange Divine Book
Although Mu Haowen didn't like the author's arrogance, he admired his perseverance, after all, he worked hard to write four million words, and if he couldn't even sign the contract, the years of hard work would be in vain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In these years, people's hearts are impetuous, and there are not many authors who can calm down and bury their heads in codewords, most of them are thinking about beating the five supreme gods in the online literature industry "Central Plains Five White" before they have posted an article, ascending to the supreme god position, and enjoying fan worship.
Actually?
Ninety-nine percent can't even meet the criteria for signing a contract!
Let's look at the synopsis:
[Wu Zheng is a college student in the Department of Archaeology, who bought an ancient painting that seemed to be fake and real with his professional vision, but was hit on the head by a brick that fell out of the painting, and since then he has obtained a super brick clone.
The doppelganger can practice, can fly, the hardness of the diamond, the weight is better than the Japanese island, you can hide under the skirt to find out, you can hang in the air and wait for the opportunity to sneak attack, it is really a necessary weapon for home travel, killing people and setting fires.
Wu Zheng: Ask the world how many heads you have, dare to taste my sharp bricks?
Wu Zheng: My brick is called Fantianyin, and the mass is 10 to the 16th power, Obama, are you sure you want to talk to me in this tone? 】
"It seems to be an urban doppelganger type novel that started a big fire a few years ago, and the theme is a bit outdated, but the doppelganger is set as a brick, combined with Xianxia elements, the creativity is not bad, and it is still very marketable to take a relaxed and funny stream." After reading the introduction, Mu Haowen nodded, and there was a little expectation in his heart.
swept down at a glance, Mu Haowen's brows gradually furrowed.
As a review editor, speed reading is a basic skill, otherwise when would you see the beginning of dozens of books with millions of words a day?
"What's going on, the text of this book is so strange, I obviously feel that the writing is very good, and the paragraphs are also very in line with the wireless style, but the words often do not reach the meaning, and even turn backwards and forwards, and from time to time there will be some inexplicable punctuation......"
Mu Haowen can roughly understand what the first few chapters of the novel are talking about, which is a normal urban opening, but he can't understand why the author messes up the text.
Thinking of the sensational title of the email, Mu Haowen decided to read it carefully from the beginning, it is rare to encounter a potential subject in one day, and it is a rare finished work, and it does not belong to the routine text, it is worth treating with care.
Seeing this, Mu Haowen suddenly indulged in it, completely forgetting the passage of time, his face was sometimes proud, sometimes angry, sometimes angry, and sometimes smiling.
There is no doubt that he has completely substituted for the protagonist.
That's why the expression changes with the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the protagonist's experience, which looks very funny.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later, after reading the latest chapter, that Mu Haowen's eyes gradually returned to clarity, recalling the scene just now, and his face was full of horror.
"This, this, this book is against the sky!"
"How can there be such a weird novel in the world?"
"It's like ...... to let the reader fully immerse yourself in it. Really incarnate the protagonist into that fantasy world? ”
Mu Haowen's face turned red, he slapped it on the table, and regardless of the mess such as water glasses, drinks, books, etc., he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and called the editor-in-chief.
A voice in his heart roared: "I must sign this book!" This is definitely a masterpiece beyond anyone's imagination!
No matter what the cost, sign this book!
Mu Haowen's boss is Wang Zhimao, who is over thirty years old, and all kinds of entertainment are indispensable, and he is drunk and dizzy in a dinner that cannot be pushed off at the moment.
Seeing a phone call, he suddenly felt energetic, and finally had a chance to get rid of this unnutritious entertainment!
After saying hello to his friends at the table, Wang Zhimao walked outside the private room and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the name remarked by the caller's number.
The new editor is frizzy, and many problems that can be solved by negotiation have to be reported to themselves.
However, he has a relatively mild personality and is very tolerant of his subordinates, as long as he is not overly annoyed, he will give a pleasant reply.
"Hey, Komaki, is there something wrong with your work?"
"Editor-in-Chief Wang, I'm sorry to bother you so late, I just received a submission with great potential here, I can't make up my mind, and I ask you to estimate the price after taking a look, and I will reply to him immediately."
Sure enough, it's a newcomer.,I can't hold my breath when I encounter a good book.,No matter how great the potential of this book is.,You can talk about it slowly tomorrow.。
Wang Zhimao sighed secretly and replied on the phone: "Okay, you save the TXT format and send it to me QQ, and I will review it directly on my mobile phone." ”
"By the way, Editor-in-Chief Wang, this manuscript must be read slowly to taste its special features, so I will send it over."
Wang Zhimao hung up the phone and was amused by him: "This kid pretended to be a ghost, and he also taught me how to review the manuscript, I want to see what is special about the book that you respect so much." ”
Back at the dinner table, Wang Zhimao apologized to his friends that the company had very important urgent matters to deal with and had to leave early.
After pushing away his friend's retention, Wang Zhimao called Didi to drive on his behalf, and then opened the beginning of "Super Brick Clone" sent by Mu Haowen and watched it in the car.
Compared with reading web pages on a computer, reading a book on a mobile phone with a relatively small screen is naturally much slower.
Therefore, Wang Zhimao did not encounter the kind of problem that Mu Haowen encountered when he first read it, but directly immersed himself in it, and he didn't even notice that the driver who came to Didi knocked on the window.
In the end, the other party could only leave angrily, and there was a feeling of being played.
Nima, even the dozens of yuan for the driving fee was reluctant to pay, and she took a mobile phone and pretended to be deaf and dumb in the car!
If Wang Zhimao knew his thoughts, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, and he swore that he had never encountered such a demonic novel in the past eight years as an editor, as if he could suck people's souls into it, and he would never be able to extricate himself as soon as his eyes were touched.
"How many years, since I entered the online editing industry, how many years have I not calmed down to read a good book......" Wang Zhimao muttered to himself.
He was originally a lover of novels, reading Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng from a small number, and later opened the door to a new world in online texts.
Then, dissatisfied with the fact that online articles were becoming more and more routine, Wang Zhimao began to write on his own, and his first book became popular and became a well-known god writer.
Later, because of the new book hitting the street, he realized that online writing was not very stable, and resolutely entered the editing industry, until now he has become a high-paying editor-in-chief of a large company.
For more than ten years, he has witnessed the online article from the end to the peak, he has read too many wonderful novels, after becoming an editor, the beginning of the review is countless, coupled with getting older and older, the enthusiasm of the past is gradually fading, reading books always can't help but bring a commercial vision, thinking about the recommendation potential of the novel, the possible profits, the author's godhood is stable or not, etc., has not gone to the website to search for books for himself for a long time.
But "Super Slab Brick Clone" did it!
After many years, he has rekindled his passion for reading books, and can once again indulge in laughing and scolding at the experiences of the protagonists in the books.
That feeling is really hard to buy, you can tear off the mask and baggage of your daily life, put aside the trivial matters of the family and the entanglement of connections, immerse yourself in the illusory world, and briefly experience another life in another identity.
"It's a terrible sense of substitution."
Wang Zhimao finally realized Mu Haowen's anxious mood, and made up his mind that even if he paid a big price, he must sign this book in the shortest possible time!
Even the old whites who are a little tired of online articles can be immersed in it mercilessly, those who haven't read a few books, after experiencing the terrifying sense of substitution, where is there no reason to be obedient.
When the time comes, the number of subscriptions and tips may be able to create history in the online literature industry!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhimao decisively sent the document to the editor-in-chief of the website, and then dialed his phone to discuss.
"What? Two hundred words in a thousand words! No, 500 words is the lowest price, our advantage is time, the first to see this article, we must use a deterrent price to directly win the exclusive serialization rights! ”
"Zhimao, the company's money is not blowing in the wind, even if this novel is excellent, but don't forget that he is a newcomer, only in terms of electronic copyright, the price of two hundred words is already very fair, if it is full copyright, five hundred words I won't say a word, immediately let the finance department prepare for the loan, you can have a good talk with him, how much appetite can a rookie author have?" The editor-in-chief said unhurriedly.
Wang Zhimao was anxious, if he let go of this divine book sent to the door, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, I can't make it clear on the phone, you better read the manuscript I sent you before making a final conclusion." After speaking, he hung up the phone and sat in the car waiting for a reply.
This is the first time in all his years of experience that he has taken such a drastic attitude towards his superiors.
He is gambling, betting that Mr. Liu will be like him, impressed by this book and change his contemptuous mentality.
Forty minutes later, the phone rang.
Wang Zhimao smiled, he knew that he had succeeded, and Mr. Liu also couldn't help but read the full text before coming back to his senses.
