"Ji Zhuo, has the new book been settled?"

Ji Zhuo and Yun Qingmu were eating hot pot, and there was smoke in front of them.

Yun Qingmu was so spicy that he was angry, and asked Ji Zhuo out loud.

"Nope. Soon, I'm writing. ”

Ji Zhuo put the fat cow in his mouth, a set of three.

Yun Qingmu picked up the yogurt bottle and took a sip again, and then looked at Ji Zhuo,

"And do you still use trumpets for your next book?"

"I don't know."

Ji Zhuo said, sighing inexplicably,

As the professional attributes get higher and higher, even if you change the trumpet, it doesn't seem to be able to cover up his 'brilliance' without exposure.

Ay...... It's too much inspiration, and it's hard to write too well...... It's a bit cheap.

Looking at Ji Zhuo's inexplicable melancholy appearance,

Yun Qingmu put down the yogurt bottle, and came with some interest, and moved closer to Ji Zhuo with great interest.

"Are you worried about the new book, why don't you say it and I'll give you a staff officer?"

Ji Zhuo glanced at Yun Qingmu, and then took the chopsticks to the pot to pick the meat, but did not speak.

"What's wrong, don't believe me?"

"No, I suspect you want to hear the new book in advance."

"Nonsense! You're slandering! ”

Ji Zhuo glanced at Yun Qingmu again, and put the fat cow in his mouth and ate it,

Yun Qingmu let out a little breath, and then sat back down,

"Then Ji Zhuo, will your next new book be a medium-length or a large-length novel?"

"Medium and long, hundreds of thousands of words? Two hundred thousand? ”

"That's it? It won't be long before you can finish it, and Ji Zhuo, you don't want to think about writing a big long story, at least as long as "Revitival Cthulhu"? ”

"Next time, next time."

"Next book?"

"Hmm...... Probably? ”

……

“…… Be careful, don't run around. ”

After eating a hot pot and cooking dinner with Yun Qingmu,

Yun Qingmu returned to the community opposite the hot pot restaurant, Ji Zhuo didn't hurry back to his residence, and walked along the side of the road.

After the intersection, it seems to be a park,

The park is built next to a river, and many elderly people, couples with children, and young couples come here for a walk.

The lush foliage in the park shelters the hustle and bustle of the city, leaving only the sky illuminated by many lights.

The rustling of branches and leaves and the subtle footsteps of pedestrians from time to time can be heard in this silence.

Ji Zhuo didn't go into the park, but just from the intersection outside the park fence,

I heard someone shouting, so I turned my head to look.

It's an adult beckoning a child to get closer to the river.

Ji Zhuo couldn't help but pause,

I watched as the adult ran over and pulled back the child who was approaching the river.

I can't help but think a little of when I was a child,

For children who love to play around, adults are always used to scaring children with some scary stories.

For example, the water ghost drowned in the river pond, once he entered the water, he would be dragged down by the water ghost as a substitute for the dead ghost.

For example, at night, someone behind you taps you on the shoulder......

Although Ji Zhuo didn't have his parents to tell him these things, he still heard these things that I don't know if they were stories or folklore.

And these things are often mixed with our cognition of some things, the basis of morality, and even the judgment of good and evil.

I saw that the adult was educating the child.

Ji Zhuo smiled on his face,

It seems to have some inspiration for a new book.

But how to write it has to be carefully pondered.

Turning my eyes back from the park, there are still urban buildings on this side of the park, tall buildings and bright lights.

Ji Zhuo looked at it, then stopped a passing taxi and went back to his residence.

……

“…… Congratulations to the host for achieving the goal of the main career task in this issue, and the sales of published works have reached 45,000 copies, and the number of words in the completed book is not less than 250,000. ”

"Congratulations to the host for getting: Writing +1, Story +1, Speed +1, Inspiration +1, Freedom Attribute +6"

The sales of 45,000 copies that did not reach the target of the current mission of the system before were purely sold without books.

Now that the printing house is working overtime to get out of stock, the sales of "Caged Bird" have naturally broken through the current target of the system.

To this,

Ji Zhuo was not very surprised and uncomfortable, after all, he had expected it,

Breaking through the system so quickly is also of his own making—long pain is better than short pain. It's better to cut meat with a blunt knife than to cut it to death with a knife,

Open the book early.

Glanced at the system rewards.

As usual, Ji Zhuo is still a balanced distribution method this time.

In this way, the outstanding attributes rise the slower, and no short board means no long board,

However, Ji Zhuo always felt that he was always a little afraid that one day his shortcomings would be longer than others'......

The six points of freedom attributes, including the script from top to bottom, have been added a little, and the extra point is still added to the speed.

thereupon

The system interface becomes like this.

"Host: Ji Zhuo.

Main occupation: Writer.

Primary Class Level: Level 3 (2/5)

Subclass: Screenwriter (Level 2) (0/2)

Subclass: Not yet available.

Class Attributes:

Writing: 13

Plot: 12

Speed: 17

Inspiration: 12

Script: 9

The current task goal of the main profession: According to the level of the main profession and past works, the requirements are: to create a physical sales volume of not less than (6w-8W) or online orders of not less than (1.5w-2w), and the number of words in the completed book is not less than 200,000.

(The specific requirements are determined according to the theme and type of the new book in the current issue)

Rewards: Plot +1, Inspiration +1, Free Attribute +8.

Current encouragement: 6 million/month.

Sub-occupation: screenwriter's current goal: ......"

Ji Zhuo glanced at it,

The main class level requires three books to level up.

The performance of this mission goal requires a natural improvement.

However, the word count requirement has been significantly reduced.

Is this the system also encouraging him to create freely without word limits?

Then you should lower it a little bit.

Well, the attribute points rewarded by the mission have not changed much in general, but the proportion of free attributes has increased.

I just don't know where my current attribute is......

Other than that...... It seems that you can start a new subclass, but I don't know what the next subclass can be?

Poets, philosophers? It seems that these are quite in line with my current main profession...... After all, it makes sense that writers write, write, write, and go to philosophy.

Ji Zhuo diverged his thoughts,

The system interface is turned off.

Then I found it out of my pocket and bought a gel pen when I came back.

Pick up another copy from the pile of "Caged Birds" piled up next to the table,

Then sign,

Dinner was eaten, and the signed book was not yet finished.

"I wish you a happy life and a happy family - no work."

"I wish you all the best and good health - don't work ......"

Saying that these readers are the culprits,

When I put pen to paper, I was quite honest...... After all, these readers are also supporting Ji Zhuo from another point of view,

Ji is clumsy and generous, and he is not as knowledgeable as them!

"Ding-dong."

"Pen and ink: Ahem, big guy, it's been a while since "Caged Bird" was finished, do you have any ideas for the new book, and do you plan to release it on the Internet?"

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......

Clumsy and extraordinary: in writing, in writing.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Is there anything else going on with the big guy?

Pen and ink: cough cough...... That's it, I'm also your reader...... I also grabbed "Caged Bird", can you sign it?

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......"

Gu Qian Ji Zhuo received a message from the editor's pen and ink,

Then he turned his head to look at the large pile of books waiting to be signed next to him, and fell into deep thought.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: how many copies?

Pen and ink: There are few books...... It's that most of the editors in the newsroom are your readers...... Eight books.

Clumsy and extraordinary: Oh...... That's okay. Send it to me. Old address. ”

……

"[Question] Friends, look at the store and say that there are signed books by dog authors in the next batch of replenishment, is the signed books of dog authors collectible?"

"It's up to you to like the dog author or not, if you're a loyal black fan of the dog author (not)...... Loyal fans, that's quite collectible. If not, it is worthless. ”

"I see you're all called dogs...... Leave here to flicker and grab a batch of goods, why don't you squat here to return the book? ”

"Upstairs, don't pierce it, I'm squatting too...... By the way, I have a signed book of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" by the author of the dog, you see, [picture]"

"? The dog author is quite attentive, and he still has blessings? Upstairs, out? ”

“…… Can't grab ordinary books, and still consider signing books? Gan! Is this publishing house good, there are not many printing points to sell such a live book, that's all, what about feeding the fish? ”

"Upstairs, I'm sorry, I'm an employee of the publishing house, the publishing house is relatively small, I didn't have too many goods before, and now the printing house is already working overtime."

"I'm from the printing house, and it's true upstairs."

"Where are you guys here? …… By the way, how to report this problem, few people know that the next shipment has a signed book by the dog author? ”

Jingpintao's online store is very lively,

This is a question under the store, and the replies keep rising, and apparently many people are squatting on this page waiting for restocking.

……

“…… Caged Bird is highly recommended, one of the best feature-length sci-fi award-winning titles. ”

"Caged Bird" is very good, I've already seen half of it, and I haven't seen such an exciting work for a long time...... My scalp is numb and my whole body is trembling, friends. ”

This is the hot comment under the top hot search 'Excellent Works of the Year Recommendation' on the social platform.

……

"Once in the sea: Have you finished watching "Caged Bird"?

Eight Immortals Across the Sea: After reading it, the ending began to be a little uneasy...... But then the more I thought about it, the better I felt...... And then I want to scold the dog author even more!

Canyon Grass: The book is a good book, and I feel that the quality is better than the previous dog author's book. When you watch it, you are immersed in it, and your emotions fluctuate with the plot...... But after watching it last night, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep.

Canyon Grass: Dog Author!

Little Black House Author: Eh, don't spoil it, I've only seen half of it.

Canyon Grass: Hey...... It's only halfway through it.,Do you want me to tell you the next plot development.。

Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Hehe...... I can tell you what the caged bird means.

Little Black House: What is the hidden meaning of the caged bird? Ah, no, get out of here! ”

The readership is also very lively.

Fancheng, Ye Linhan was in the house, sitting at the table,

The computer opens the readership and the broken website at the same time.

There is still a video of his "Caged Bird" evaluation after reading on the broken station,

There are also many readers of the dog author who are communicating the plot in the comments at the bottom of the video.

Looking at the number of views of the video, Ye Linhan nodded with satisfaction.

Dog authors have gained new readers,

I got traffic, it's a win-win.

Sure enough, I am one of the most familiar with dog authors in the dog author readership group, and one of the fans who have helped dog author the most!

Ay...... It's just that this time the dog author's new book will be released later.

……

“…… Dad, have you finished reading it? ”

The same is a prosperous city,

The boy and his father, the owner of the noodle shop, were rushing to read a book.

The owner of the noodle shop was fascinated by the book, and the boy poked his head out beside him.

"Haven't you seen them all?"

"But the first time I saw it, I was too anxious, and I didn't understand many places. It is said on the Internet that there are many hidden details. ”

The noodle shop owner looked up and asked, the boy still staring at the book.

“…… How old are you, and you are still competing with your son for books. ”

The woman who was drying her clothes on the balcony next to her turned around and said to her husband angrily,

The noodle shop owner raised his head and smiled flatteringly,

“…… This is a well-written book, it's the author's new book. ”

"The author?"

When the woman who had dried her clothes heard this, she was also a little interested,

wiped the water on his hands, also walked over, and sat next to the owner of the noodle shop,

The two couples came together, leaned together, and looked at the book together,

Then the woman is also immersed in the story of the book.

She has a mediocre interest in science fiction, but this book is a great deal.

"Mom, Dad...... You give me a place and let me see it......"

The boy was pushed aside a little aggrieved,

Apparently he bought the book.

"Haven't you read it once, and I'll give it to you when my parents finish reading."

The woman spoke.

……

“…… Legend has it that a bird can travel through the heavens and the earth......

"Tweet ......"

Early in the morning, a bird landed outside Ji Zhuo's window and stood on the protective railing.

Ji Zhuo, who was woken up by the sound of birds, was wearing pajamas, standing by the window, nervously at the bird, telling a made-up story,

The bird turned its head, chirped twice, and flew away.

Seeing Ji Zhuo looking up to the sky and sighing,

"Oh, you deserve to be a mortal bird. I can't listen to a story. ”

"Am I telling a bad story? Hey, not a good listener. ”

The bird flew away, and Ji Zhuo finished his nerves,

I went to wash up.

Last night, I signed the bookmark until late at night, and finally signed hundreds of books.

His hands were sore, and his writing and inspiration at more than a dozen points were dull when he wanted to give new blessings.

Today, in addition to sending these signed books out,

Continue to think about the new book, he still has to go to Yucheng,

Talk to the people of Pioneer Film and Television Media about the copyright of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" face to face.

Yucheng is not far from the devil, and the high-speed rail is less than two hours.

The appointment time was in the afternoon, and Ji Zhuo made an appointment with a lawyer to go with him yesterday.

Although it is unlikely that Pioneer Film and Television will pit him in the contract if they want to cooperate for a long time,

But in case, it's better to leave professional things to professional people.

“…… Knock knock. ”

"Same-city express, door-to-door pickup."

“…… Eh, sir, you have a lot of books here. ”

"Eh, it's still "Caged Bird", sir, you buy so much, do you open a bookstore?"

"Can you sell me a copy too?"

……

“…… Mr. Ji, it's been a long time. I also ask you to make a special trip. ”

"Mr. Yu is polite."

In the afternoon, Ji Zhuo took a lawyer to Yucheng, the company headquarters of Pioneer Film and Television Media.

Yu Mingzhi waited for Ji Zhuo at the door with the screenwriter and the head of the animation department who often communicated with Ji Zhuo on the Internet.

The head of the anime department is a man in his thirties who looks young, but he has slightly heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing that Ji Zhuo was a little excited, he almost said something like 'I can be regarded as seeing a living person'.

"Mr. Ji, this is Director Wu, the head of the animation department, and the anime adaptation of your "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" was produced by their team,"

"Hello Director Wu."

"Hello Mr. Ji, hello...... Mr. Ji, I'm also a fan of yours. I started with your books from "Mortal Immortals", and then I took all your works and read them...... Every book is really well written...... Mr. Ji, I have a collection of each of your physical books. ”

Good guys, still book lovers.

This is the first time Ji Zhuo has seen such an excited book fan.

“…… I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I was a little excited to see you for a while. ”

“…… Mr. Ji, I haven't had time to congratulate you on the big sale of your new book. ”

There is no need to mention this stubble.

Ji Zhuo greeted Yu Mingzhi and entered the headquarters building of Pioneer Film and Television Media.

As usual, it is naturally impossible for Ji Zhuo to come directly to the conference room.

still took Ji Zhuo to visit a circle of various departments of the pioneer film and television media.

Pioneer Film and Television Media focuses on film and television production, and there are very few artist agents, so Ji Zhuo didn't see any stars.

After turning around, we arrived at the conference room.

The group began to talk about the right thing - the copyright transaction of "The Shepherd Boy Seeks Immortals".
