Chapter 131: Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, Where is my book?

"Congratulations on getting the current goal achievement reward: Script +2, Free Attribute Points +2"

"Congratulations to the host for completing an adapted script creation and obtaining 1 point of sub-class: screenwriting experience."

"Host subclass: The screenwriter has met the promotion requirements, whether to upgrade or not. Note: The sub-class incentive will increase with the level of the profession, and the current sub-class goal will be greatly increased. ”

"Upgrade."

"Host Subclass: Screenwriter Promoted to Level 2."

The current task of the sub-professional screenwriter was completed, and the little experience gained allowed Ji Zhuo to upgrade the sub-professional screenwriter to the second level.

As for the rewards of the current mission, for Ji Zhuo, who is used to seeing the reward value of the main class, It doesn't seem to feel anything.

Maybe it's a bit of a special value for free attribute points?

But looking at those two free attribute points,

Ji Zhuo thought about it, since it is the reward of the screenwriter's current task, it is better to simply add it to the script.

Anyway, the encouragement money for the screenwriter's sub-profession seems to be like that.

Thereupon.

On the system interface,

Main Profession: The relevant attributes and tasks of writers have naturally not changed much.

It's just that the current quests of the subclasses have been updated, and the stats have changed a bit.

"Subclass: Screenwriter (0/2)"

"Script: 8"

"The task goal of the current sub-professional screenwriter: According to the current professional level, the requirements are, Create or adapt a film and television animation and other scripts. The total number of moviegoers of the film and television animation corresponding to the script exceeded one million in a certain period of time. The script corresponds to no less than 12 episodes of animation. The positive rating shall not be less than 80%.

Note: The counting of the number of moviegoers requires the audience to watch 80% of the content of the corresponding film and television feature film, and the conditions are not met and will not be included in the count.

Current incentive: 20% of the actual total investment amount of the corresponding film and television animation project. ”

The amount of experience required to level up for the Screenwriter subclass seems to be similar to that of the main class.

After the sub-profession is upgraded, the current tasks and encouragement of the sub-profession seem to change that the number of viewers of the film and television corresponding to the script will exceed one million...... It's almost doubled.

However, the encouragement money seems to have doubled...... That counts......

The encouragement money for the sub-profession seems to be just like that, almost fighting the fire.

Glancing at the changes in the sub-professional screenwriters, Ji Zhuo withdrew his gaze.

As for the main profession, isn't this issue still over?

Although this reader screamed fiercely, he didn't rush to 45,000 sales today!

Close the system interface,

The mobile phone in Ji Zhuo's hand has already opened the broken station,

As soon as I entered the broken station, the homepage saw the recommendation of the finale of the first season of the "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" anime.

Ji clumsy clicks in, and the video starts playing automatically,

The barrage of bullets rolling out of the right side of the screen followed.

“…… The beginning began, and the finale sprinkled flowers. ”

"Don't worry about the finale, when will the next season be ......"

"I'm here to scold a dog, the author shouldn't have gone to the wrong place, right?"

Ji Zhuo closed the barrage.

Mei Zizi looked up.

……

“…… Editor-in-chief Qian, All bookstores have sent orders to restock. ”

"There are also some bookstores and booksellers who have not purchased them before, and they also want to buy some goods......

"Is there any stock in the warehouse?"

"The last 200 copies will be sent to the Dehua Bookstore this afternoon."

"Where's the printing house?"

"The printing factory is already working overnight, but no matter how soon it is, a new batch of books will not be sent until tomorrow morning."

"Then let the bookstores, booksellers, etc., both online and offline, tell them that we are out of stock......

At this moment, the editor-in-chief of Huating Publishing House, Qian, was excited and had a headache,

Excited about the hot sale of the book "Caged Bird", bookstores through online and offline channels,

Under the impact of the enthusiasm of Ji Zhuo's book fans and readers for more than a month, it was directly sold out.

The headache was that no matter how bold he was before, he didn't dare to think that in just three days, the first printing of 30,000 copies would be sold out.

Each bookstore has sent a replenishment purchase order, but the publisher is also out of stock.

Now he is wondering if there are fewer 100,000 copies of the reprint.

Although he knew that the fanatical enthusiasm of these book lovers and readers must have been only for a day or two,

When this group of people buy the book, the sales of "Caged Bird" will still stabilize, and gradually trickle down.

But I still can't stop thinking about it...... Can 100,000 instincts withstand the enthusiasm of this wave of people?

I don't feel like it's enough.

That's right

I communicated with 'Mr. Non-worker' before, and asked 'Mr. Non-worker' to sign the signature.

But at this moment, not to mention the 200 signed books that were sent, the "Caged Bird" he put on the table and read for himself was going to be sold.

It seems that we can only wait for the arrival of a new batch of printed goods tomorrow.

Editor-in-chief Qian is troubled,

But I was troubled, and I couldn't help but smile on my face.

It's been a long time since the publisher's books have been sold out of stock.

It's a pity,

That is, the goods are not enough, otherwise I feel that today's sales will definitely be more than 20,000 today, maybe even higher.

Probably this is the trouble of happiness......

……

“…… Dog author, me off! Return the knife to me! ”

Yun Qingmu in the house.

Yun Qingmu and Yun Xinxin sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, and the two of them held a book, "Caged Bird".

It's not that Yun Qingmu really just wants to buy a copy with her sister...... I really didn't buy it.

Yun Qingmu's book was bought yesterday, and when Yun Xinxin wanted to buy it after work today, all online and offline bookstores were already sold out.

Looking at the Internet, the out-of-stock of the dog author "Caged Bird" has squeezed into the hot search on social platforms, although it is at the end.

At this moment, Yun Qingmu and Yun Xinxin looked at "Caged Bird",

I can't help but hate these depressing plots.

In particular, the description of some fragments of the plot, the changes in the protagonist Wu Mu and his surroundings, and the self-talk between Wu Mu and the bird are inexplicably uncomfortable.

The protagonist Wu Mu has a kind of desperation in his body, even if he guesses and deduces a lot of things, he seems to see the essence of the world in the book,

But the more you know, the more desperate you become, and this despair spreads to the reader through the pages of the book.

It makes the reader unbearable.

I saw the finale all the way, and the bird released in the finale made the reader even more uncomfortable,

Because the bird flew out of the cage, but Wu Mu was still in the house,

It doesn't matter if it's rainy or sunny outside the window, he can only look out the window.

After watching the ending, Yun Xinxin and Yun Qingmu were silent.

After a long time, Yun Xinxin spoke first,

"Actually, this ending is pretty good...... The birds that are released can also be regarded as a kind of hope and beautiful sustenance that is free from bondage...... I feel like the last mercy of the dog author. ”

"What's the mercy, the bird flies, the person is still in the house, and the protagonist is left alone!"

Yun Qingmu answered.

Yun Xinxin was silent again, and it was even more uncomfortable.

This may be the different understanding of the same by different readers.

“…… Sister, you might as well not tell me, I feel even more uncomfortable when you hear you say. ”

“…… Hmph, dog author ......"

That's how this ending is, it's not as exciting as the climactic plot,

But the afterglow is deep, and after a long time, I accidentally remembered it, and I want to stab you again,

It's uncomfortable, it's sad for a long time.

“…… But this ending...... Makes this book seem even better. ”

“…… Well, a good book. ”

Yun Qingmu also agreed.

But Ji Zhuo's face came to mind again,

It's a little itchy to hate again, and she always feels that the dog author may be holding a sinister idea of making readers uncomfortable when writing these plots!

"300,000 per second: dog author! Did you deliberately write so uncomfortable, I deeply doubt your sinister intentions! ”

Gu Jiyun sent a message to Ji Zhuo, and then received Ji Zhuo's reply.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: yes.

Clumsy and extraordinary: But if you feel uncomfortable as a reader, then the author should feel several times more uncomfortable than you, and the author can not immerse the reader in the emotion deeper and longer. ”

Seeing this news, Yun Qingmu was a little silent,

After a pause, Yun Qingmu cautiously replied to the message,

"300,000 per second: that ...... Are you okay then? ”

"Clumsy and extraordinary: it's okay, I'm strong."

"300,000 per second: ......"

I suddenly felt that Ji Zhuo's words were not so credible.

"Hiccup......

Watching anime always feels like it's almost interesting.,

So I took out a can of happy water from the refrigerator and watched it while drinking.

looked at the chat history with Yun Qingmu again,

Ji Zhuo then watched the anime finale of "Mortal Immortals".

He's telling the truth, and some authors are like that anyway.

"Hiccup......

……

Capital.

In a slightly old residential building,

The study of one family is still lit up, and it is very quiet in the study.

A middle-aged man in his fifties was busy with the things in hand,

Glancing again, he glanced at the computer screen on the desk in front of him, which was still lit.

The screen shows a chat history of him with another person.

"Lao Xu of the National Library: Lao Zhang, I heard what kind of outstanding science fiction works of the year are you selecting to encourage literary creation?"

"Zhang Mingguo: Yes, in recent years, there have not been many outstanding works in China, and now you know this form, we still have to encourage the creation of our local works, culture is a big deal."

"Zhang Mingguo: It's discussed internally, it's a small award, in fact, it's not just science fiction, others are also going to be selected, encouraged and encouraged, and help publicize and publicize. Good works should be seen by the public.

Zhang Mingguo: What, what good books do you find in this library that you would like to recommend to me? Let's start with it, I'm not going through the back door here.

Lao Xu, National Library: There is really a book to recommend to you, don't worry, this book is recommended to you, and you may have to invite me to drink after reading it.

Zhang Mingguo: Lao Xu, you respect it so much, then I have to take a look, what is the name of the book?

Lao Xu: "Caged Bird", wasn't the library a collection of excellent online literary works before, it was the author I found this time, this "Caged Bird" is his new book, in fact, his previous book is also good, you can also take a look.

Zhang Mingguo: Is it serialized on the Internet? The quality of the books serialized on the Internet is not bad now, right?

Lao Xu: The Internet is just a carrier, and it is up to the author and readers to decide what content to create. Over the years, there have always been some works that are excellent in all aspects. But this is not, it is the work published by this author's entity.

Zhang Mingguo: Okay, then I'll take the time to take a look. ”

And then the chat history goes down here,

It was a few more hours.

Zhang Mingguo: Lao Xu...... The book you recommended is out of stock...... I've also read the reviews on the Internet.,It's like it's good.,I'm itching to see it.,You have a book, right?

Lao Xu: Lao Zhang...... I recommend books to you, and you still want to steal books from me?

Zhang Mingguo: Isn't this the book you recommended to me, Lao Xu? I can't find a book, I can't find you.

Lao Xu: Okay, okay, I'll ask a delivery person to deliver it to you......"

That's it for the chat.

Zhang Mingguo retracted his gaze,

picked up this "Caged Bird" from the desk,

The comments on the Internet and the recommendations of old friends have made him have certain expectations for this book.

There is a pause in the introduction to the title page,

Zhang Mingguo continued to open it,

Then I looked at it slowly.

From the beginning of the protagonist Wu Mu appeared and the monitoring stations received extraterrestrial signals,

And then from the two problems brought by the extraterrestrial signal, some gifts, induced chain effects,

and then to the changes induced by the whole society and the three scenes of the protagonist Wu Mu's attention to ants, domestic animals, and caged birds.

The more Zhang Mingguo looked, the slower he looked, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it,

Gradually immersed in it, as a simple reader,

Emotional ups and downs as the plot changes in the book,

Depressed, desperate, excited, the emotions of the characters in the book also infect the reader,

The plot then goes to the essence of Wu Mu's understanding of the status quo under the cover of night......

It wasn't until Zhang Mingguo's wife knocked on the door that Zhang Mingguo had to stop.

"Knock knock."

"I said why is the light still on? I thought you should have come back to bed, only to find out that there was no one by the bedside this night. ”

"Why haven't you slept in the middle of the night?"

"Read a book, it's really well written, there's still a little left, I'll finish reading it and then go to sleep."

The wife shook her head, but did not say much,

just took another coat and put it on Zhang Mingguo, and accompanied Zhang Mingguo to watch it together.

And then...... Both are immersed in the world of the book,

And then all the way to the finale.

It was not yet dawn outside the house, but the birds in the trees in the community were already chirping.

The page stops at the last page of the Great Settlement,

The two couples reading the book paused, a little silent.

“…… This ending is really uncomfortable to watch. ”

"In fact, as the book says, for a short period of time, the civilization beyond the distant galaxy actually did not have such a profound and obvious impact, but this incident itself made those in the know despair."

"People don't want to be caged birds, pigs in pens, ants following sugar water, although the civilization in the book has a present, but there is no future......"

The couple talked about the plot and commented on the book.

“…… This book is very good, it is a good science fiction book, but if I read it a second time, I am afraid I will not want to read it. ”

"It's uncomfortable to watch."

Zhang Mingguo's wife smiled and said loudly.

“…… Oh, yes...... But it's a good book. ”

The desperation that lies latent throughout the book continues to creep in until the ending is completely exposed.

It's as uncomfortable to see people as if a stone has been pressed against their hearts.

“…… This ending is also a good ending. ”

Zhang Mingguo added.

At the same time, after reading this book, I also made up my mind.

Such a good book should indeed be seen by more readers.

I should also invite Lao Xu to tea.

Well......

Lao Xu said that this author has other books, I don't know how, it seems to be on the Internet, so I should be able to read it directly?

Zhang Mingguo thought about it, and couldn't help but touch the computer,

was just glanced at by the wife next to him,

"What are you doing? What else do you have to do? It's going to be dawn and you still haven't sleeped? ”

Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, Zhang Mingguo hurriedly begged for mercy,

"Okay, sleep, sleep...... I don't have any work, I just want to see the other works of this author......"

"Then I have to go to sleep and go to see it, how old are you still staying up like this...... Well, what is the name of this author. ”

"'No work', but two other names are used on the Internet, called 'epoch coincidence' and 'jade into a device'"

"Eh, there are so many pen names?"

"I still don't understand why I changed so many pen names...... But they seem to like to do this as authors, and each has several pen names in use. ”

"Also, those famous writers, which one doesn't have a dozen or twenty pen names."

Zhang Mingguo read a book all night and went back to the house to rest.

But he was chatting with the penguin, and then came the message.

"Lao Xu: Lao Zhang, have you finished reading the book? I still haven't finished reading that book.

Lao Xu: I'm just asking you to help this author select your excellent works, don't be greedy for my books.

Lao Xu: Lao Zhang? Zhang Mingguo? ”
