Chapter 90: Chess Player, Chess Piece

"Wait. A serious, heavy voice came, and there was a hint of undeniable majesty in that voice.

Hearing this voice, the people in the Xianxia editorial department all respectfully shouted "Mr. Wang"

The person who came was the CEO of xx.com, Wang Tianhe. Wang Tianhe actually came a long time ago, and he had been watching everything silently from the sidelines.

From beginning to end, Wang Tianhe saw it in his eyes, he didn't plan to speak, but after he saw the fries and let me out of the novice recommendation position without hesitation, he couldn't help it anymore and opened his mouth to stop all this from happening.

"The recommendation of Genesis cannot be moved. Wang Tianhe said, and then he glanced at all the editors present and continued

"Not only can't you move, but you have to give him vigorous publicity. ”

"Why?" Wang Jingya was a little puzzled, because in the editor-in-chief's plan, he was to suppress the recommendation of "Genesis", and then vigorously recommend the book of the great warlord.

"Because, only in this way, this competition can be interesting. Wang Tianhe said with his signature cruel smile, "Presumably, this week's suppression of the book "Creation" has caused the readers of "Creation" to accumulate a lot of anger. ”

"What suppressed Genesis?" French fries couldn't help but exclaim, the last time the editor-in-chief came to decide on this plan, French fries were not there, of course, everyone present at the time would not tell her about this decision.

After hearing this, the fries looked at all the people in the editorial department angrily and said angrily

"Did you already know that you were suppressing Genesis, why didn't you tell me? ”

However, except for the Son of Heaven who lowered his head a little ashamedly, the others got indifferent eyes, as if to tell this little girl with his eyes

"Why, we're going to tell you?"

Under the angry eyes of the fries, Wang Jingya explained a little embarrassed, "At that time, the decision was too hasty, and we were busy with work, so we forgot to tell you." ”

Is that really the answer? Really, just forgot? Maybe those people have their own answer in their hearts.

"I'm sorry for my negligence. Another voice came, speaking from the editor-in-chief who walked in through the door.

It's just that his apology doesn't have any apologetic tone.

"It's okay... It's okay... Just tell me next time. Hearing the editor-in-chief's apology, the anger in the french fries heart was much less, after all, in her heart, the editor-in-chief was her idol!

"Okay, let's move on to our decision. Wang Tianhe saw that the editor-in-chief was coming, and said logically.

"This is a competition that all of us have put a lot of effort into organizing. For the sake of this competition, we do not hesitate to kill the gods! ”

Speaking of the word god-killing, Wang Tianhe was very excited in his tone, after all, this kind of thing of killing gods, for them, can be described as a strong man cutting his wrists, and he is also frightened, after all, the matter of killing gods, if it does not succeed once, then the consequences can be described as unimaginable!

In addition to Wang Tianhe's emotion, there were also the old editors who had been working for a long time here, and when they heard the word "killing gods", they all fell into a trance, because they thought of the who left their jobs and the forgotten pen.

"Now that we have killed one god, we must cultivate a new god, perhaps a new five. Wang Tianhe, who had eased from his excited expression, looked at Wang Jingya and continued

"Don't you think it's more interesting to have a dragon fight than to let the big warlord take the first place?"

Wang Jingya nodded silently, just as Wang Tianhe said, the price paid for the so-called rise of the new gods this time is too great, since it has paid such a big price, it is necessary to come up with a good result, not only to come up with a good result, but also to come up with a wonderful battle process.

"During this time, I hired a navy to constantly advertise each other in the two book review areas of "Genesis" and "Dream System", presumably their readers have accumulated countless fire, and only need a fuse to make this writer's war much more interesting. The editor-in-chief echoed.

"Fuse?" asked Wang Jingya incomprehensibly.

"Don't you know? Tomorrow is the day when voting is limited. The editor-in-chief explained with a smile.

Basically, all websites have limited free novels every week, and limited free is also a recommended position. Sometimes, the effect of the restriction is more than the effect of some categories, after all, there are always more readers who like to read free novels than paid readers.

"Tomorrow's limited free novels are voting, and as of twelve o'clock, one will be selected to be placed in the first place of the limited exemption, and among the books to be voted tomorrow are "Creation" and "Dream System". Neither of the authors knew about this news, and I didn't notify it through the short term. The editor-in-chief laughed treacherously, as if he had seen in his heart the scene of their surprise tomorrow, and then encouraged everyone to vote.

"I see. Wang Jingya sighed, the editor-in-chief's methods are clever. Then she stumbled upon the sad face of the fries, and she couldn't bear to continue

"Can you give Genesis a little bit of a notice in advance? ”

"No, this event has to be a surprise!" said the editor-in-chief resolutely. Then he looked at the fries and the bear, and said seriously

"You two can't leak it out! This is the professional ethics of the editor!"

The bear and the fries nodded to indicate that they knew, but compared to the french fries' depressed faces, the bear had a hint of inexplicable excitement.

"There are ten days left, and these ten days create a conflict between two books, and it is better for their readers to tear them up. The editor-in-chief continued.

"I really want to see the final result immediately, civilian hero, I'm a novice and a big warlord who pushes kryptonite, who can get the first place?" Wang Tianhe said with a smile of longing.

"What about the recommended position of "Looking Up at the Stars"?" The Son of Heaven listened to these conversations, and his heart was inexplicably impetuous, he couldn't control himself, and he inserted himself into this conversation.

"What about the book? Does he deserve to be recommended? An unknown rookie writer, an unknown work. The editor-in-chief said impatiently.

"Don't say that, after all, new writers need to be supported, give them some hope. Wang Tianhe continued to the editor-in-chief

"Besides, this is also a book that the old editor is optimistic about, or so, the Destiny List and the classification before Thursday are full, you see who is willing to give it to you after Thursday. Just give it to you, and I'll make up for them later. ”

The Son of Heaven still wanted to argue with reason, but he thought of something. I could only finally nod and return to the computer to check the recommended positions after Thursday.

The editor-in-chief explained some details to Wang Tianhe, and then left the Xianxia editorial office.

"What do you think of the bear?" asked the editor-in-chief on the way.

"There are too many eyes, there is no wisdom and only cunning, if I don't show up, his plan to kill two birds with one stone will succeed. Wang Tianhe said with a sneer.

Since Wang Tianhe can be the CEO of a company, he is naturally used to intrigues. The tricks of the Little Bear editor are not clever in his eyes.

Editor Xiaoxiong first pressured Wang Jingya to use righteousness and rules to make Yang Fan's book not go to the Mandate of Heaven list, and then deliberately angered the Son of Heaven, and repeatedly used the four words of newcomer writer to make the sympathetic french fries sense of justice burst out, so as to establish prestige in the editorial department first, and "unintentionally" make the recommendation position of "Genesis" become someone else, and he can also get out of the way.

Thinking of Xiaoxiong's editing methods, Wang Tianhe then smiled, "However, there is still merit. I don't think you gave him a privilege to hide?"

The editor-in-chief nodded, and laughed at his clever diversion

"However, the Son of Heaven is indeed old, I said that his concept is old, this is no longer the previous online literature world, and he still maintains new writers like this. ”

"Yes, his concept is old, after all, the current online text world is more like a game of chess, and the editor is like a famous chess player. And the writers in their hands are like chess pieces. Wang Tianhe put away the smile on his face and said seriously

"The so-called chess players have to stay calm at all times, and playing the chess in their hands well is the most correct thing for them to do. However, the Son of Heaven is still old in the old era, putting aside his trump card and paying attention to those little pawns. He didn't understand that those pawns were just cannon fodder. ”

"Indeed, rookie writers are pawns and cannon fodder for people to step on without background and strength. The editor-in-chief continued as if he remembered something

"Mr. Wang, are you optimistic that the book will win this competition?"

"Didn't you tell me the result with your actions?"

In the corridor of the xx net, there was the "hearty" laughter of two men.

But is all this what they say? Are new writers just cannon fodder for others to step on?

In the world of chess, there is a famous saying that although I am a pawn, it can be seen that I take a step back? A pawn will never retreat, it is because he has no way to retreat, and he can create miracles by constantly moving forward!

The Son of Heaven found those few recommendation positions, but they were all rejected, who wants to give his hard-won recommendation to a little-known newcomer?

The Son of Heaven felt sad, because among those few recommended slots, two of them were writers he had brought out all the way before!

And it was the two writers who were brought out by him all the way that refused even more completely.

No matter how the Son of Heaven put down his body and pleaded, no matter what reason the Son of Heaven came up with, the two writers did not hesitate to refuse, after all, they have now become well-known writers, they are no longer fledglings, their wings have hardened.

The Son of Heaven looked desperately at the last recommended writer, a writer named Demon Slayer God.

His hands trembled, and he added the writer QQ without hope.

Li Xin, a seasoned writer, today is the most special day for him, because he received a recommended station short, and it is also a station short recommended by classification.

This recommendation is very important to him, after all, it is his last recommendation before he is on the shelf, and it is also his first recommendation.

His book has not done well, and there are 4,000 collections so far, and this recommendation is completely a relief for him, he has saved 60,000 words in the manuscript, ready to explode in a week, used to accumulate a large number of fans, and then put it on the shelves and subscribe to the boutique, and walk to the peak of the writer.

He had a cigarette in his mouth, chatting and blowing water in his fan base. Share your recommendations with all readers, and promise ten more a day.

When he was at the peak of his mood, he saw a friend request.

Li Xin hesitated and accepted, and the other party asked if he could give him the recommendation position.

made Li Xin annoyed, after all, the recommendation is not easy to come by, and his book is about to be put on the shelves, isn't it boring?

Li Xin immediately refused, but the other party did not relent, begged him bitterly, and asked him to have a trace of curiosity, and he typed curiously to ask for the name of the book. Then he saw the title of the book, and that annoyance vanished.

Li Xin lit another cigarette, and then looked at the computer screen in a trance.

Li Xin was silent, on his desktop, there were two dialog boxes, one was the excited congratulations of the fans in the fan group, and the other was a bitter plea from the editor of the Son of Heaven.

The contrast between the two dialog boxes made him lose himself in them for a moment.

What about refusal? Or agree? Li Xin tortured himself in his heart repeatedly.

The book is not doing well at the moment, and he doesn't want to become a street writer as soon as it hits the shelves. He wants to be like the last book, to enter the boutique, and he wants to surpass the previous book.

But when he saw the name of the book, "Looking Up at the Stars", a voice inexplicably appeared in his heart asking him to give up the recommendation position to this book.

He's struggling because he doesn't want to fail, he doesn't want to live up to the expectations of his readers, he doesn't want to fail because he's a full-time writer.

However, why is the voice in his heart that wants him to give up the recommended position to "Looking Up at the Stars" is getting louder and louder?

Is it because this book has allowed him to continue writing without giving up? Or is it because this book has moved him? Or is it because this book has brought him a lot of enlightenment?

Li Xin didn't know, Li Xin watched the editor called the Son of Heaven waiting, and he finally made up his mind, he wanted to refuse.

However, Li Xin replied in the dialog box agreeing to these two words.

Why? Li Xin was even more confused.

In the midst of the great gratitude of the Son of Heaven, he closed the dialog box and leaned back in his chair, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Li Xin's mood is difficult to describe at the moment, with countless emotions, but he has no regrets.

He sat up from his chair, then lit another cigarette and hesitated to post a message in the fan group.

"I'm sorry, brothers, I don't have a referral for next Sunday. ”

"Huh, boss, why? Are you being bullied by the editor?"

"Boss, why?"

The fans kept asking the reason, Li Xin smiled bitterly, took a cigarette and continued to type

"Given to one person"

"Why?"

"Maybe it's because I don't want to see him fail. ”

"Is it the boss's lover?"

"No, not even friends. ”

"Boss, I don't know what you're talking about like this?"

"Yes, friends don't count, you still let him recommend it! Your book is about to hit the shelves! If you don't get good grades, you're going to hit the street! Why is you such a stupid boss. ”

Li Xin thought about it carefully, and he finally understood the reason, and he typed hard

"Maybe it's because of dreams and the romance of men. ”

Sometimes, not only rookie writers, but also every unpromising writer plays the role of a pawn on the chessboard of the online text world.

It's just that some pawns have become cannon fodder and have been given up, some pawns keep moving forward and firmly believe in themselves, and some pawns would rather sacrifice themselves at important moments than cover their teammates.

After all, every role played by pawns is not favored, is it?
