Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dawn Before Dawn
Morning.
There are fewer people in Internet cafes.
But instead it became noisy.
The all-night killer guy and little sister shook their heads and tapped on the keyboard, galloping frantically in the world of "Xuan Dance Troupe", and from time to time shouting a sentence of "urban and rural combined English" that Zhang Sheng couldn't understand.
In such an occasion, writing is an extremely painful thing.
But fortunately, Zhang Sheng is used to living at the bottom these days, and when he is immersed in the plot without distractions, he has not been affected.
It began at eight o'clock in the evening and was written until two o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Sheng finally wrote four chapters.
He finished updating these four chapters as soon as possible, and at the end of the four chapters, he wrote a chapter testimonial of "Rushing to the list on Monday to ask for votes".
When you're done, click on the backend.
"Sorry, your work does not meet our signing requirements, please keep up the good work."
After the update, the word count has reached 140,000 words.
140,000 words, without a contract, in a sense, the book is worthless.
After looking at the cold signing text message, Zhang Sheng was inexplicably a little disappointed in his heart, and then quickly returned to normal.
He clicked on the Ming Chinese network, carefully looked at other books, and finally found a pattern.
Novels related to "Firmament" and "Divorce Stream", unless they are works by famous artists or old authors, the rest do not have any contracts, and some books that seem to be well written by Zhang Sheng are also broken at 30,000 or 40,000 words because they are not signed......
Zhang Sheng carefully looked at the previous announcement of Qiming Chinese Network, and when he searched for "divorce stream", he finally suddenly realized.
"It turns out that the plagiarism thing is out of the circle......"
Last year's "Divorce Stream" was really popular, and there were many books with results.
But at the same time that this kind of book appeared wildly, there were countless versions of the plot that followed the trend, and at first the author "Potato" had no opinion, after all, you quit the marriage, I quit the marriage, this is not my originality, and the plot of pretending to be a slap in the face is quite normal......
But gradually, these versions became more and more borrowed, and even began to evolve into "plagiarism" and "Chinese-to-Chinese" versions, and the most excessive was that even the name of the protagonist of a book was not changed.
When the reader fed back to "Potato", gave him countless evidence, and also made a lot of money, he instantly exploded!
He invited a lawyer's letter, first communicated, and after seeing that the communication failed, he found the media and exposed it locally one by one......
At first, this turmoil was a small matter, but after the trouble, some books that were not plagiarized, but followed the trend seriously, also began to be sealed one after another, and Zhou Lin's previous editor, "Seven Colored Flowers" was even directly involved in this turmoil.
But it's amazing.
Most of these plagiarized and borrowed books are actually books from their own website "Qiming Chinese Network".
Moreover, somehow, when Potato realized that something was wrong and wanted to end this farce, this farce became more and more fierce, the initial plagiarism storm turned into a whistleblowing storm, I don't know where a large group of readers poured in, many books were inexplicably reported, reviewed, banned, once the website made everyone in danger, and a large number of authors began to leave the Ming Chinese network.
And other websites also started at this moment, and the homepage was marked with the words "refuse to plagiarize", openly and secretly satirizing Qiming Chinese Network.
"It seems...... This is not just a storm, but more like a bad business competition......"
When Zhang Sheng straightened out these things, he finally knew why his "Breaking the Sky" was repeatedly rejected.
When the limelight has just passed but the aftertaste is still there, how can his "divorce stream" sign a contract?
Little by little, time passed.
The night is also deep.
The all-night spirit guys and little sisters in the Internet café finally couldn't hold it anymore, and fell asleep on the keyboard one after another.
The Internet café suddenly became quiet.
The keyboard sounds of several typing sounds are particularly loud......
Zhang Sheng stared at the page of "Breaking the Sky" for a long time, and countless various thoughts appeared in his mind.
Stop loss in time!
In a sense, this is the best option in this case.
After all, Zhang Sheng's original intention at the beginning, in addition to being really interested, was more to make some money.
Now, there is really no need for a book that cannot be signed, cannot make money, and then consumes time and effort.
Now......
It's like a smear of black.
And then there is no light to be seen.
With a sense of loneliness, insecurity, and inexplicable discouragement.
One by one, the best thoughts appeared, and then, these thoughts slowly dissipated, and I always felt that there was something that could not be so absent.
When Zhang Sheng clicked on the list of newcomers and new books, he found that "Breaking the Sky" finally rushed to the tenth place on the list after he broke out four watches, and it was also the only online novel on the list that was not signed or recommended.
Comment section.
Although there are many negative reviews, there are also countless encouragement and support.
"Things that can make money for a long time are, to some extent, definitely not something that can be achieved overnight......"
"Some people are born to become famous at a young age and step on the pinnacle of life, and some people need to go up step by step, climb up, some ups and downs and difficulties are essential things on the road to growth."
"! Forget it, to generate electricity for love, just accumulate readers! ”
"Moreover, my writing is a bit immature, and I really need to learn a little bit......"
When Zhang Sheng thought of this, he finally made a decision in his heart.
When he made this decision, he suddenly felt very happy, and he looked out the window at the night sky.
The night sky was pitch black.
The darkness before dawn is always cold.
He turned off his computer and looked at the time, and it was already three o'clock in the morning.
"Gotta sleep! Otherwise, I'll be late for the cafeteria. ”
"Today is September 1st, and it's time for freshmen to report......"
Zhang Sheng rubbed his eyes, and then lay down on the keyboard and fell asleep.
……………………
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Zhou Lin walked into the office of the editor-in-charge.
When he walked into the office, he saw that everyone in the office was whispering something.
"Kirin! The three of you, a book by a rookie author, have rushed to the top eight of the rookie list! ”
"Huh?"
"We took a look, this book may explode, but it's a pity that it's a divorce stream, it's a more sensitive period, and it's not recommended to be on it, it's a pity, this book was born at the wrong time, otherwise, it's the next "Change of the Sky" ......"
“……”
Zhou Lin listened to the discussion, then turned on the computer and saw that "Breaking the Sky" had rushed from yesterday's top ten to the current eighth......
The word count has reached 140,000 words!
After a little exposure on the new book list, the data of this book began to rise, and the collection has exceeded 5,000!
Zhou Lin looked at the data in the background.
There was silence for a long, long time.
After all, he didn't send a signing text message to the book.
After closing the backstage, he stared at the page.
Three places away!
There are still three left, and it will be fifth on the rookie list!
Don't give up at this time!
He found himself quietly cheering for the book, too.
Finally, after a long hesitation, he boarded his reader's account and voted for the book......
