Chapter 60: The Jealous Zhuo Jiu
Being able to listen to the old people in the group tell the story of the great god of online literature so closely is a magical experience for most people who hit the street.
The giant panda asked a little impatiently, "What about later?" Since the starting point of the first book is so high, then his subsequent books must have swept the major lists in the online literature circle, and it is logical to achieve the god position, right? β
There is not a single writer who does not aspire to become a god with a book.
Especially like Zhuo Jiu, he can even make the great god take the initiative to retreat, which can be called the ultimate ideal of all street writers!
"That's right!" Foreign spicy people also reappeared at this time.
"I've been reading books for many years, so why haven't I heard of the character of Turbidity?"
"The man of the cloudy wine...... It's weird. β
Ye Zhi's words were full of caution, "It stands to reason that a book has obtained a good score, and most writers will choose to continue to write it, even at the expense of pouring water......"
"And the cloudy wine...... After only writing 400,000 words, the book was hastily finished.
Although it is the end, many people think that his book is already suspected of being a eunuch! β
Eunuch!
This outrageous conclusion instantly stunned everyone.
ββThe new god in the group turned out to be a great eunuch, which instantly made the entire group fall silent again.
"There is indeed such a saying."
After a long time, the strange coffee gentleman spoke in the group again: "At that time, I was also a newcomer to the online literature industry, and I still clearly remember that the hottest genre in the online literature circle at that time was the cooking art cultivation ......"
"I've read that book several times, and it's really good. It's just that the end was too hasty, and there was indeed a suspicion of eunuchs. β
Looking at the few people in the group chatting about their past, Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but feel a wonderful feeling in his heart.
In the past, he had only communicated directly with editors, and most of the information and evaluations he obtained came from the editors' level.
When he was at his peak, everyone revolved around him, giving all kinds of unconventional conditions, eager to lift him to the sky; And when he is down, some people are even more eager to trample him to death, let alone send charcoal in the snow and give him a helping hand.
Therefore, sometimes the online literature industry is quite cruel.
But then again, this is the first time he has heard what other people except the editor really say about him.
Perhaps, it's still nice to be able to enter this group, isn't it?
"In this way, Turbidity Wine can be regarded as successfully proving himself with the first book, so when he said that he was going to prepare a new book, it suddenly set off a scramble from major websites!"
Seeing that everyone was listening with interest, Ye Zhi continued to start the science popularization of turbid wine in the group.
"The title of the second book, "Kitchen Violence and Anliang", is still a consistent culinary practice. As a result, I don't know what the reason is, but it's still unfinished...... Less than 400,000 words were written. β
"This also made the end point Chinese Network who signed him suffer heavy losses, and I almost issued a blocking order to him!"
"And this time, he is really a eunuch, not to mention, he is still so blind with the excuse he made, he even said that he is a national scientific researcher, and the eunuch is just for a better study."
Everyone was silent, including Zhuo Jiu.
He couldn't understand why he was making such an excuse at the time, maybe it was just a hot head, and the result was ......
A wry smile appeared on Zhuo Jiu's face: Sometimes eunuchs are also addicted, and it was from this book that he officially embarked on the path of eunuchs, until now.
"I'll talk about it later!" August Qiu then said in the group.
"Although he is a eunuch, Zhuo Jiu's strength is still vividly shown in this book, although the number of words is not much, but the data are still quite good."
Therefore, although the end Chinese website angrily announced that it would no longer cooperate with him, some other websites have extended olive branches to him.
"However, at this time, they are more cautious, and they have taken the form of guarantee to cooperate with him."
Under such circumstances, his third book ended up on Tomato Chinese. The number of words in this book is a bit more, estimated to be about 1 million words. As a result, one day he suddenly said that he was going out to collect materials, and the update frequency was getting slower and slower, and in the end, he was still a eunuch! β
Everyone was stunned, and there was no second person to speak for half a day.
Such a habitual eunuch is really a bit abnormal! What's more, he didn't say goodbye to the online literature circle after he became a eunuch, but he began to write books again not long after he became a eunuch...... The key doesn't know his temperament, and really only thinks that he is playing tricks for no reason.
"And then?" Seeing that everyone did not react, the giant panda took the initiative to ask.
"Later...... The God of Kitchen ushered in a new climax in his book-writing career, that is, "The Best Chef in the City"! β
Ye Zhi replied: "Because he wrote more than 1 million words in his previous book, and at that time, Zongheng just lacked a great god who could play the role of urban literature, so in the competition of many websites, he successfully signed the turbid wine at a guaranteed price of 50 yuan per thousand words." β
Zongheng naturally has high expectations for him...... As a result, before he even reached 500,000 words, he was a eunuch again! And this time, the reason is even more simple and crude, saying that he doesn't want to write. β
can be tolerated by major websites many times, pay attention to the strength of turbid wine, but this kind of habitual eunuch is really not tolerated by everyone.
Just once or twice, maybe it's okay, but ...... Cloudy wine, this is almost already a eunuch addiction.
All the group members were silent, and everyone's mood was a little delicate...... Whatever the circumstances, almost no one dares to guarantee that they will not end up in ruins, or eunuchs.
The only difference is that the eunuch of the turbid wine is a little more reasonable.
In fact, the online literature industry is far less flowery than imagined, and more cruel as the law of the jungle.
is like what French fries said when they were bubbling in the group some time ago: when he became an online editor, it was only about three years, but he already handled 1,000 eunuchs or books that had been interrupted for more than a month.
This is an extremely horrific fact.
is also one of the countless online editors, handing over a not very glamorous achievement.
And how many street writers who didn't sign a contract, or who delusionally thought that they could sign a contract and became a god with a book?
Signing is already a threshold, enough to screen out a large part of the writers, each of them may feel that they are missing pearls, but if they are not discovered, they are not discovered, and how long can this enthusiasm be maintained only by using love to generate electricity?
How many people can be like Da Zhuang, endure loneliness, and become more than 6,000 a day?
Well, you said you successfully signed up. In such a long period of no-name period from signing to putting on the shelves, how many people can endure this loneliness similar to a single machine?
At the very least, 50% of people will fall in this period, because it is too easy to burn out with a single machine.
In particular, I don't see the heart-wrenching feeling of my grades improving.
That's why some people say that signing a contract is the beginning of hitting the street, and if you don't sign a contract, you won't even have the qualifications to hit the street.
However, when you have successfully survived this burnout period, it is finally time for the official shelf...... You will realize what true despair is!
Looking at the insignificant few subscriptions every day, how many of those writers who are left over from the big waves can withstand the impact of this cruel reality on the Dao heart?
At the very least, a large part of the writers may only be able to rely on meager full attendance to barely maintain the passion of code words.
But how long can this enthusiasm be sustained?
- So, sometimes Zhuo Jiu is really hated.
Obviously, he has achieved such good results, but he prefers to practice himself...... He never knew what he had achieved that many people could not reach.
"Hey......"
Ye Zhi then said in the group: "So, gradually, almost no one expects turbid wine anymore. So his later book "This Chef is a Little Greasy", although he still succeeded in getting a guarantee from Zongheng, but the price can be said to be a cliff-like drop compared to the previous one. β
"How much is the cliff fall?" Panda asked curiously.
For him, those who can sign a guarantee can be regarded as gods.
"These prices are basically a secret in the industry, so I don't know very well."
Ye Zhi replied: "These prices are basically a secret in the industry, so I don't know very well. β
"But I asked a good editor of Zongheng, it should be less than 20 yuan per thousand words."
Zhuo Jiu's face showed a bit of bleakness: only he knew that the guarantee given to him by Zongheng at that time was fifteen yuan for 1,000 words, or was the editor who was good friends with him trying his best to fight for him......
And that book...... He was still a eunuch.
This also directly led to that, the editor, who was only one step away from being promoted to editor-in-chief, was completely thrown into the cold palace and has been in a slump since then.
Although Zhuo Jiu understands that the relationship between the two is also a cooperative relationship...... You use me, I use you.
However, he still had an indescribable sense of shame.
"Of course, what's even more terrifying is the loss of fans."
Strange coffee Jun added: "The fans of those great gods also went through one book after another to completely stabilize the fans, and Zhuo Jiu is undoubtedly playing with fire." β
"No matter how long-term fans are, they can't withstand such endless consumption as him, so an author who was originally a very likely to become a god slowly became a writer who everyone spurned, and finally disappeared in the online literature world."
"It's sad and crying!"
Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering.
No one knows what to say about such a writer, let alone what kind of impact he will have on everyone after he joins the group......
Once again, the group fell silent.
