Chapter 39 Traditional Chinese Publishing
Bai Lu also gave Gao Zhan a half-hour head massage every night as usual. Gao Zhan, who was accustomed to Bai Lu's careful care, no longer felt that there was any ambiguous relationship between him and Bai Lu, no, seeing that the college entrance examination was coming, Gao Zhan also took the initiative to ask Bai Lu to give him an extra half an hour of head massage at night.
Fengcheng in June already has the high temperature of summer.
Although the Fengqi community is built on the bank of the Tuojiang River, the cool river breeze blowing from the river still can't blow away the sultry heat caused by the summer night climate of 32 degrees Celsius.
In the living room, the cool breeze blown by the cabinet air conditioner makes the whole room not feel the hot weather outside.
After dinner, Gao Zhan watched Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Camp", and then ran upstairs to the study and boarded the account of World of Warcraft, which he hadn't played for a long time.
After playing, I will feel that it is really not interesting, and I can no longer find the passionate feeling when I played the game before, quit the game, and log in to QQ.
At this time, he naturally didn't go to the reader group to pop up, thinking that he hadn't entered the group of "learning is the first productive force" for a long time, Gao Zhan entered the group and opened it, first called up the chat history, and slowly flipped through it.
The study group seems to be lively every day, and there are always more than a dozen authors chatting online.
After flipping through the chat records, Gao Zhan entered the group again, and at this time, an author named Jiang Mu was exchanging a new writing experience with Lao Jue and others.
Gao Zhan was immediately attracted by the chat between Lao Jue and Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu: I decided to provide tools, hoping to help you come up with ideas, if you have someone with paper, please take out one, a pen...... Then, draw a triangle on it, if you don't have it, you can also draw it in your head, and then write it on the three sides, force, emotion, and wisdom......
Jiang Mu: In my opinion, the three elements of YY's novel, power, intelligence, and emotion are indispensable. Force, including financial power, force, power, and other things that represent power; Love, which represents family, friendship, love, and passion, hatred, jealousy, and other emotional level things; Zhi represents the different developments and results caused by human thinking, and it should be pointed out that wisdom here is in a broad sense, not only referring to intelligence, but also to all the different plot developments due to the different thinking of various characters (including pig's feet and supporting characters......
Jiang Paste: Triangle is the most stable structure, so I use triangle as a tool, of course, these three elements are not necessarily used evenly in a book, that is, the book does not have to be a regular triangle, but these three elements cannot be ignored.
Jiang Mu: You can feel free to think about a work you have written and think about what this triangle looks like. If you draw, now choose the middle point of the three sides of the triangle and make a perpendicular line, the focus of the three perpendicular lines, that is, the intersection of the perpendicular bisectoral line, commonly known as the center of the circumscribed circle, write two words here, character......
Seeing this, Gao Zhan quickly found a pen and paper from the study, according to Jiang Mu's explanation, and then drew a triangle, a middle line, and an intersection point on the white paper according to the structure and setting in the new book "Peerless God of War".
In the learning group, Jiang Mu continued to explain:
Different elements determine the direction and style of the story, because the direction and style of the story determine the state and position of the core characters, so there is no contradiction between the characters and the story first, because in this diagram, you can draw a triangle first, or you can set the character point first, and the vertical line that you did just now is actually the upgrade system.
Gao Zhan suddenly asked: Can you draw a circle first, and then draw a triangle in the circle?
Jiang Paste: Feel free, if you add the circumscribed circle, I call the circumscribed circle the background, it doesn't matter what the first stroke draws, the key is that the final graphic is drawn, and the framework of the basic book will come out.
Jiang paste: Let's visualize, we can see that the longer a certain side is done, the shorter the point where this side reaches the pig's foot, I have just said that the vertical line represents the upgrade system, so we can clearly see what the shorter the distance from a certain side to the pig's foot? My feeling means upgrading speed and rhythm!
For example, if the longer the side of the force in your triangle, the shorter the distance from the side of the force to the pig's foot, that is to say, the shorter the vertical line, the more compact the speed and rhythm of your upgrade in terms of force, then the other two vertical lines are the reason for your upgrade, and the plot that represents your upgrade.
If the pace of power upgrading is fast, then the pace of emotion and intelligence should be slowed down accordingly, in other words, the change of emotion and intelligence should correspondingly lag behind the speed of force upgrading. If you write a book with force as the main body, then the upgrade speed of force is faster than that of emotion and intelligence, and if you write a book with emotion as the main body, the speed of emotion will advance faster than that of force and wisdom, and the same is true for writing a book with wisdom as the main body......
For example, when we write science fiction, what is our first reaction? High-tech, weapons and technical arms of the future, etc., the common thing at this time is to stretch this side of the force very long, but what if we do it another way? Do we stretch this side of love very long? The whole story becomes a matter of affection, love, friends, and so on, and at this time we have to keep the strength of the force very short, which means that the upgrade of the strength of the pig's feet may be very slow......
Considering that the pig's feet in YY's novels are going to become stronger, and they can't always be abused, at least there must be a few stages of killing the Quartet, we can make it clear that the pig's feet may have special skills as soon as they come up, and they don't have to be upgraded many levels in terms of strength, but each level must be greatly improved, and then considering the background, it is easy to innovate a different power upgrade system from the past, and the first upgrade system in this book is love, so the power system is used as the second upgrade system, so, The intellectually pulled plot constitutes the different modes of the book's plot.
At this time, there are countless new upgrade systems that can be packaged, and countless blood, love, and friendship jokes will emerge.
Taking Panlong as an example, Panlong is based on love as the main line to trigger the pursuit of force, including inchmang, too! Force is the longest side, so it is the fastest to upgrade in the way of force, and this side of wisdom is the shortest, so there is basically no upgrade of intelligence, unlike blasphemy, there is no worst only worse.
This side of love is slightly shorter than this side of force, but it is also very long, as I just said, it constitutes the reason for the upgrade, this side of wisdom is the shortest, but you still understand the deviation, it does not refer to intelligence in the narrow sense, it refers to the different ideas of the characters in the book bring different developments, including the decent and the villain, very clear, the pig's foot and the villain cause a strong conflict in thinking, because they have opposite angles, and the purpose of thinking is almost opposite, constituting the event.
As a result, in terms of emotional reasons, powerful behaviors, and the results caused by the conflict of thoughts, the whole story is promoted to move forward rapidly, thus omitting a large number of irrelevant plots and cumbersome settings, that is, avoiding the state of dragging a heavy belly and staggering forward as Mai Ye said.
For example, fakes, we continue to apply the formula, pig's feet are actually upgraded quite quickly in intelligence, and I have always thought that the promotion system of counterfeit cards is not a military rank.
There are two aspects that are constantly described in the whole book, one is that the pig's feet are constantly being instructed by masters, of course, there is also their own cultivation, the deduction method of the Oriental Ancient Zhou Yi, and the guidance of the famous generals of the empire, etc.; The other is that the pig's feet are not the most obscene, only more obscene.
At the same time, the opponents he is involved in and face are becoming more and more resourceful. When the speed of the pig's foot hand is upgraded, basically the PK mecha has been swept, and the upgrade of the force is getting slower and slower after this stage, and the rank upgrade has nothing to do with intelligence, because the upgrade of wisdom needs a change of angle, and the wisdom is upgraded - the opponent with stronger wisdom - the two sides are aligned - the pig's foot needs to be upgraded in rank, and the pig's foot needs a higher perspective and a higher platform to challenge a more intelligent opponent.
So it's very clear, love has become an important means of expression of the storyline, although obscene, but most of the battles we see in the whole book are quite passionate, including every turn of the pig's feet, there is a love and beautiful mm appear, every opponent, will bring him an inexplicable love and woman, it can be said that Tian Fatzi is accompanied by the chick's arms and hugs to keep fighting, and then blend a kind of patriotic feelings and insinuation, the author spent a lot of ink to describe love, This makes it an important means of expression of the storyline.
……
Damn, it turns out that writing novels can still be written like this! Gao Zhan was a little excited, and in front of the computer, he struck each other a few times with his right fist against his left palm.
Compared with "Jiang Paste's Theorem", Gao Zhan took the figure he had just drawn according to Jiang Paste's explanation, pondered it carefully, and then combined it with the setting and outline of the new book in his mind, and found that he really found a large number of irrelevant plots and cumbersome settings.
If he writes it according to the original setting and ideas, it is really a bit like Jiang Mu said, and the whole story will be staggering with a heavy belly. And this kind of plot must lead to the dissatisfaction of readers, so that it is taken off the shelves.
Today is really my luck! Gao Zhan secretly rejoiced in his heart. In the process of coding words, the writer is basically dark under the light, and many people feel that their coded works are very good, but they are not accepted and recognized by readers. As long as there is a fatal flaw in the plot of a book, as long as there is only one such flaw, a large number of readers can be taken off the shelves.
Gao Zhan hurriedly returned to the room, opened the notebook, and first carefully read the manuscript of the previous code, fortunately, there was nothing wrong here.
While Gao Zhan was revising the outline, Bai Lu walked in from outside.
"Brother, didn't you say that from today to the end of the college entrance examination, you won't be able to code? What's the code again? ”
"I got the scriptures from a senior today, and if I don't rewrite the outline and story of the book in time, my new book will probably have to be destroyed." Gao Zhan replied without raising his head while modifying: "This is much simpler than code words, I just removed some unnecessary things, and added some other elements to it, and it can be done in an hour at most." ”
Bai Lu wore a pure cotton white straight nightdress, and the two protrusions on her chest were faintly visible, indicating that she must have a vacuum inside. She stood behind Gao Zhan, rubbing his shoulders and asking, "Then do you want to get a head massage now?" Didn't you say you wanted me to add half an hour a day to the meal? ”
"I won't do it today, I'll go to bed after I finish changing the syllabus, and you should go to bed early, I'm a little tired because I'm preparing for the college entrance examination for a while, right?" Gao Zhan turned around and reached out and gently pinched Bai Lu's smooth face.
"Stinky brother, you will treat people as little girls, haven't you noticed that people have grown up now?" Bai Lu muttered to herself in her heart, blinking her curved, curled and long eyelashes, her bright big eyes were full of tenderness looking at Gao Zhan's bald head that had turned around to continue the code, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch the two tender white scars, "Brother, will the wound still hurt now?" ”
You must know that these two scars were also caused by Gao Zhan's brother because she was harassed by Liu Feng and helped her get angry. She clearly remembered in her heart that on Gao Zhan's brother's back, there were seven scars that were also suffered to protect her. Brother Gao Zhan has suffered so much for her, Brother Gao Zhan must have me in his heart, not just Sister Lu Ying.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, and if it still hurts, it means that my head is going to be finished. By the way, Lulu, what do you think my brother will keep this bald head in the future? ”
"Brother looks good with any head shape." Bai Lu replied tenderly.
"Our Lulu said that it looks good, then I will be a bald head with a tiger body shaking the spirit of the king in the future, roar roar!"
"Giggles, brother, you're so funny, how can you say that about yourself!" has been by Gao Zhan's side for so long, of course, Bai Lu is no stranger to online novels.
"Hehe, your brother is happy today. I won't tell you more, I have to finish the outline quickly, and if I miss today's inspiration, maybe I won't be able to find this feeling in the future. You go back to your room and sleep first, and you don't need to make me coffee, otherwise I won't be able to fall asleep after drinking coffee, and it will ruin my plan to go to bed early and get up early to relax completely these days. ”
"Uh-huh! Brother, then I'll go back to my room and sleep. ”
"Good night, Lulu."
"Good night, brother."
Bai Lu jumped out of Gao Zhan's room happily and returned to his bedroom. Every time she heard Gao Zhan say good night to her, Bai Lu's heart was very happy.
I have been in contact with the Internet for so long, and I still have some understanding of some Internet terms. The word good night, typed out in Chinese pinyin, according to the letter combination, is the abbreviation of I love you love you. Although Bai Lu knew that Gao Zhan didn't mean this, she was just happy to hear it.
Every night before going to bed, tidy up the book review area of Gao Zhan, which is already a habit that Bai Lu has developed. She didn't go back to the bedroom, but went to the study, went online to open the starting point website, and entered the writing of "Peerless God of War".
The message box of the reader's account shows two new text messages, Bai Lu clicked on it and saw that the two messages were sent by the same person, and the content was: I am very interested in your new book, please contact qq27015xxxx to discuss the traditional Chinese publishing matters.
Seeing this message, Bai Lu carefully read it and confirmed that it was correct, and immediately shouted: "Brother, come quickly, someone wants to talk to you about traditional publishing." ”
Gao Zhan was immersed in changing the outline, and when he heard Bai Lu's shout, he didn't pay attention at first, and asked without raising his head: "What's the matter!" What to talk about? ”
"Talking about traditional publishing, come here!"
"What are you talking about traditional publishing...... Gao Zhan muttered to himself, suddenly his eyes widened, and he asked loudly, "Lulu, did you just say traditional publishing?" ”
"Yes! Brother, come here! ”
Gao Zhan immediately jumped three feet high, rushed into the bookstore in three steps, saw the message in the text message box, and didn't care if someone was joking with him, in line with the principle of not letting go if he missed it, let Bai Lu give him the seat, and immediately log in to QQ again, and found it through the QQ number left by the other party, showing that his QQ name is "Fang Yuan", and knock down in the friend verification information "I am the starting point VIP author spread his wings and fly high, the author of "Peerless God of War". "I sent it.
Thinking that this party should not be online at this time, Gao Zhan sent two verification messages, and was just about to turn off QQ, but he didn't expect the other party to be online and passed the friend verification, and at the same time applied for Gao Zhan to add him as a friend.
After adding friends to each other, Fang Yuan took the initiative to send a message: "Hello, I am the only agent of Taiwan Pioneer Publishing House in the mainland, and our company now feels that Your Excellency's "Peerless God of War" has a certain market in Taiwan, and I would like to discuss with you the copyright of traditional Chinese publishing." ”
Taiwan Xianchuang Publishing House, Gao Zhan had heard Lao Jue mention it when he was chatting in the study group before, and I remember that Lao Jue said that although this publishing house is not the largest in Taiwan, its reputation in the writer's circle is relatively good, just because Fang Yuan is the only agent of Xianchuang in the mainland, and through him out of traditional Chinese, it will have to draw a certain amount.
Out of traditional Chinese, this is the dream of many Internet writers! Gao Zhan didn't expect such a good thing to suddenly let him catch up when the college entrance examination was approaching.
Without thinking much about it, Gao Zhan immediately returned: "It is an honor for your society to be able to see the works of the top, and I don't know what information you need to provide below." ”
Fang Yuan: "How many words are you going to write in "Peerless God of War"? Traditional Chinese copyright is not in your hands? ”
Gao Zhan: "Of course, the traditional Chinese copyright is in my hands, and I plan to write 1.2 million to 1.5 million words for this book. ”
Fang Yuan: "Have you written an outline?" ”
Gao Zhan: "There is an outline, my outline is quite detailed, almost 50,000 words. ”
Fang Yuan: "Have you ever been out of traditional Chinese before?" ”
Gao Zhan: "No. ”
Fang Yuan: "It is said that you are a newcomer in traditional Chinese, we generally press 60,000 words per episode, 45 yuan RMB for 1,000 words, however, your score at the starting point is better, I will give you 75 yuan RMB for 1,000 words at my discretion, which is equivalent to 4500 yuan RMB per episode, if you think this price is appropriate, I will send you the relevant agreement." ”
Gao Zhan thought about it, and felt that the price given by Fang Yuan was much higher than what he had heard from Lao Jue before, and he didn't think about the price at all, so he immediately replied: "No problem!" ”
Soon, Fang Yuan sent an agreement on matters related to traditional Chinese publishing through QQ, and then said: "You take a look at the agreement first, you can ask me any questions." ”
Gao Zhan had a little difficulty reading the agreement and an authorization that were all in traditional Chinese, and he didn't know much about them, in line with the principle that being able to produce a traditional Chinese book was the first place, Gao Zhan said: "Just do what you say in your agreement." ”
Fang Yuan: "You print out the agreement and authorization tomorrow, in triplicate, attach a copy of your ID card, sign it and send it to me by courier according to the address on the authorization letter." ”
Gao Zhan: "OK! ”
Fang Yuan: "How many words have you written in 'Peerless God of War' now?" ”
Gao Zhan: "Counting the public chapters posted at the starting point, there should be more than 250,000 words written in total. ”
Fang Yuan: "In this way, I have to trouble you to organize it into a word document according to an episode of 62,000 words, and then attach your outline and send it to me tomorrow." At the end of each episode, ask you to write a brief description of the next episode. ”
Gao Zhan: "No problem, I can pass it on to you tomorrow morning." ”
Fang Yuan: "The manuscript in your hand can be made into four episodes, and I will arrange for the publication in Taiwan as soon as possible, but before the traditional physical book goes on the market, I hope you will slow down your online update speed appropriately." ”
Gao Zhan: "Before it is put on the shelf, I can only update one chapter and 3,000 words a day, but if it is put on the shelf, I think I will update 10,000 words a day, and I must ensure that the electronic version, I don't want to be affected by traditional publishing, after all, once the electronic version is popular, my income will not be very bad." ”
Fang Yuan: "Of course we will consider this for you, the more popular your book is on the Internet, the more our physical books will be sold." This is mutually reinforcing. ”
Gao Zhan: "Well, thank you for your understanding. ”
Gao Yuan: "Happy cooperation! ”
Gao Zhan: "Happy cooperation! ”
Seeing that Fang Yuan quickly became invisible, Gao Zhan didn't talk to him any more, and excitedly said, "yes, yes!" Screaming, he jumped up from the computer chair, picked up Bai Lu, who had been watching him chatting, and turned around in the study room, laughing as he turned: "I'm out of traditional Chinese, I'm finally fucking out of physical books!" ”
Maybe Gao Zhan was too excited, and actually kissed Bai Lu's forehead three times in a row.
Gao Zhan was just wearing casual shorts and a short-sleeved T-shirt, while Bai Lu was only wearing a thin cotton nightgown with a vacuum inside, Gao Zhan hugged him, he didn't feel anything, Bai Lu was quite sensitive, and her pretty face quickly turned red, seeing Gao Zhan so happy, she also kissed Gao Zhan on the face, "Brother, you are awesome, congratulations!" ”
Gao Zhan, a classmate with a bit of thick lines, was all excited by the sudden traditional publishing at this time, and he didn't feel that Bai Lu was wrong at all, so he hugged her and turned around in place twice, and then kissed her twice on the forehead.
"Quack! I've finally joined the ranks of the great revolutionary team of physical publishing, roar, roar! ”
It was Gao Zhan's left cheek that he kissed just now, and at this time, Bai Lu also kissed Gao Zhan's right cheek shyly, "I know that my brother is the most capable, brother, when your traditional Chinese book comes out, the first signature will be left to me." ”
"No problem! Quack, Lulu, brother is really good today, there is still wine at home, I have to celebrate. ”
"No, I drank it all last time, I forgot to buy it."
"If not, forget it, I'll buy it tomorrow on your way home from school. Quack, it's so fucking fun. ”
As he spoke, Gao Zhan put Bai Lu down, and he had not yet calmed down from the high excitement, and kept walking around the study room, while walking, he struck his left palm with his right fist from time to time, and muttered to himself: "Out of the traditional style, out of the entity, out of the traditional style, out of the physical book, quack!" ”
