Chapter 372: The Shape of Works in the Online Literature Era
"Alas......"
Zhang Suxin also looked at Xu Changqing and Xu Ranran, father and daughter, who were gradually moving away, from the rear window, until the two people disappeared into two small dots following the extended and converging horse route, and then sighed gloomily.
She didn't say anything, just touched Xian Xian's head gently, as if to express her pity for the little girl who stood quietly behind her father on Xian Xian's body.
Xian Xian squirmed twice and sat down obediently.
"Your "Breaking the Sky", are you going to let Xu Changqing write it?"
Zhang Suxin said. As smart as she had already guessed, Lu Anzhi definitely didn't go to Baicao Garden just to see Wang Ping. My husband wrote the outline of "Breaking the Sky" at home today, and then took Xian Xian and ran to Baicao Garden at night, there must be another purpose.
Moreover, the clerk named Xu Changqing in Baicao Garden wrote under the bitter editor under the maple tree like her husband, and Zhang Suxin also knew it. After a little thought, how could Zhang Suxin not see the details in this?
Lu Anzhi nodded and said, "But for the time being, I just have this idea, and whether this cooperation model can work is still another matter." Xu Changqing: I've seen it, but then can he agree to my suggestion, whether he is willing to write according to the outline I gave, and be a codeword machine without thoughts. ”
Zhang Suxin nodded in understanding.
Writing is a very personal matter, and every writer who picks up a pen first thinks of putting the story in his head into writing and writing it for others to see. If it weren't forced by life, who would want to write according to someone else's thinking?
As a musician who likes to write and compose her own lyrics and music, Zhang Suxin understands this mood very well.
She listened to Lu Anzhi continue: "In addition, even if Xu Changqing agrees, whether he can follow my outline and rhythm to write it well, it is still two words. I'll have to keep looking. If he can't write well, I will have to write it myself, but I don't think I can do it every day, so I can only fish for three days and dry the nets for two days. After all, there's so much to write at hand. ”
Zhang Suxin smiled softly and said, "Who made you think so much!" She sat in the back row and looked at her husband, saying this with a little pride.
No one knows her husband's talent better than her. Everyone else can only see her husband, but she lies in bed every day, but she can still hear other stories told by her husband. Those stories are also more exciting than the other, no worse than what her husband published on the keyboard.
After returning home, Zhang Suxin consciously took Xian Xian to play, Lu Anzhi sat down in front of the laptop, opened the computer to log in to Qiuqiu, and then saw the editor's flickering avatar.
He clicked on the profile picture and saw that the chat box that popped up was a question sent bitterly: Boss B, I forgot to ask, if Xu Changqing agrees, what is the guarantee you give him?
Lu Anzhi thought about it and replied by typing: Look at the quality, fifty to one hundred words. At that time, if it is put on the shelves and the income exceeds the guaranteed amount, it will be transferred.
The overall framework of the new Chinese website has been determined, including the signing recommendation process and the listing mode. Lu Anzhi told the model of the leading website in the previous life to Kuku, and the new team formed under the maple tree and Weihua had already built the entire system according to Lu Anzhi's suggestion, and decided to put the signing and recommendation process in about a month.
However, this is kept under wraps for the time being, and everything is in preparation. At that time, how to do it depends on the specific situation after the website is launched and the first wave is launched.
Ku Ku quickly replied to the message and asked: How do you see the quality?
Lu Anzhi replied: I wrote an outline here, and I asked Xu Changqing if it would be okay to try to write it first. If that's all right, sign a non-disclosure agreement and give him the outline so that he can start with it. Let's look at the beginning to determine the bottom line.
Kuku: There's an outline, huh?! Boss B, you're still so fast! Terrible!
Lu Anzhi: It's okay.
He didn't talk nonsense, and then sent the outline to Kuku. He has been working with Bitter for a long time, and he trusts Bitter very much.
At this time, he was already eating at home with dinner, and while putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he clicked the mouse to receive the documents. Looking at the fast-filled document receiving progress bar, there is still a little expectation.
"I always read the draft of Boss B, and I haven't read his outline for a long time. This is a good look! ”
She muttered to herself and clicked on the file.
"Bian Xiaogu! Have you finished eating? I go to the bedroom to eat every day, I am in my twenties, do you see that there is a person like you? ”
Suddenly, my mother's voice sounded outside.
"It's over, it's over."
He hurriedly took the dishes and chopsticks out, put them in the sink in the kitchen, and hurried back to the bedroom.
At this moment, the mother's voice outside sounded again: "What do you mean by throwing the dishes and chopsticks there?" Why do you expect me to wash you? People in their twenties squat at home every day, staring at a computer endlessly. How can I find the object in the computer? ”
Ku Ku hurriedly said: "I'll wash it later." Then he put on his headphones and played a piece of music. She didn't dare to refute her mother's questions one after another, she knew very well that as long as she refuted the last sentence, her mother would be able to spray a hundred sentences with her. Therefore, silence is the best response, and the headset is the best shield for yourself to face your mother.
The file had been opened, and she looked at the name of the title and muttered, "Breaking the sky? "It's a really overbearing name, and it's weird.
Bian Xiaogu thought so in his heart. The editor, who has not been devastated by the Internet era in his previous life, still likes this kind of title, but it feels a little inconsistent with the temperament of Boss B.
Look at Boss B's previous "Dragon Family", "Holy Biography", "Legend of the Condor Heroes", etc., all of which are relatively peaceful. But this book is a bit irritable, and it is about to break through the sky when it comes up, which is too imposing.
Then she looked at the contents, and her jaw dropped when she looked at it.
The outline written by Lu Anzhi is simple, clear and well-organized, and even from the plot introduced in that short text, you can see the step-by-step emotions and character growth.
- This kind of growth is not like the growth of the characters before Boss B, it is the growth of the psychology, soul and even strength of the entire character. The growth in "Breaking the Sky" is all focused on the improvement of the character's strength.
Ku Ku instantly realized the benefits of this kind of plot writing, which is so clear and refreshing that it can ignore all other side details, allowing the reader to focus on the protagonist's upgrade and the cool points obtained when facing the enemy through strength upgrades.
Looking at this, it will be very cool, cool without brains!
Therefore, after reading this part of the outline written by Lu Anzhi, I exhaled a long sigh of pain, and I was still unfinished. She feels that she has found the direction of the new micro Chinese network in the future from this outline.
When she was working as an editor in an old magazine, she already realized that the readers who read on Internet platforms in the new era are fundamentally different from the previous readers, they are more impetuous and have a clearer purpose, and they just want to have a relaxed and enjoyable reading experience. This feeling became more and more evident as she spent working under the maple tree.
The reader's mentality is changing little by little, and on the new micro Chinese website, if this website can be done, this change will definitely continue, and maybe it will be more drastic.
After all, the serial push mode has changed, and readers can see more works at once, and the choice is more direct.
Boss B is really powerful, he must have thought of these when he proposed a new micro Chinese network to himself, otherwise, he would not have come up with such an outline.
He took a deep breath, spit it out slowly, and typed it out on Qiuqiu: Boss B.
Lu Anzhi: ?
Bitter: Awesome.
Lu Anzhi: ......
Bitter: The new micro Chinese website has been registered, and we have initially received a large number of manuscripts, and we have also put other manuscripts under the maple tree in the past to prepare for testing. Maybe it will be officially launched in the next year.
Lu Anzhi: Is it so fast?
Kuku: Yes, the Internet is developing so fast, and now the transformation of the customer is so successful, time is catching up with us. If we don't rush it, we might fall behind. So it has to be fast. During this time, I have been working overtime, and I am still working when I get home, so I don't have time to catch up on dramas.
Lu Anzhi: Hard work.
Kuku: Xu Changqing has already agreed, you can try it first. I'll go to him tomorrow to sign a confidentiality contract and go on a trip myself. When it's signed, let him try to write the beginning for you to see. I have a hunch that if this "Breaking the Sky" can be written well, it may become a benchmark for the new micro Chinese network.
Lu Anzhi: Maybe that's possible. Maybe a lot of new micro will pop up at that time, and he will be divorced when he comes up with an old man at the beginning.
I couldn't help but be happy to see Lu Anzhi's words, but maybe it's really possible when I think about it. At the beginning of Boss B, these elements are too attractive and typical.
So she replied: Haha.
After thinking for a while, she asked Lu Anzhi again: Boss B, where is it appropriate for Xu Changqing to try to write?
Lu Anzhi: Let's write about the place where Yao Lao appeared, Chapter 9. At this point, the contradictions and expectations have come out, and it is clear whether Xu Changqing can write it well or not.
Bitterness: Don't you have to write later? There's not much to fight in the previous content. Boss B, you have a lot of battle plots.
Lu Anzhi: I don't need to watch this part, I have seen the fight scenes written by Xu Changqing, the rhythm is good, and the sense of picture is quite strong, which is his strong point. Now it depends on whether he can write the rest of the parts well.
Kuku: Okay.
ended the conversation with Lu Anzhi, and let out a long sigh. I don't know if it's an illusion, she feels like she's suddenly standing at a turning point in her fate, a new future beckons to her, and she doesn't know if she can do it well.
Be sure to do it well!
She cheered herself up in her heart, then communicated with Xu Changqing, turned off the computer and went to sleep.
The next morning, she rushed to the editorial office early, printed the confidentiality agreement, and went to Baicao Garden to find Xu Changqing.
On this day, Xu Changqing sent Xu Ranran to the kindergarten as usual and came to the Baicao Garden. He told Wang Ping in advance, telling Wang Ping that someone from the magazine would come to talk to him about some things today, hoping that Wang Ping would promise to meet him with the editor in the bookstore, Wang Ping agreed, saying that there was no problem, as long as it didn't affect the work.
Naturally, this work will not be affected, the location of Baicao Garden is actually not suitable for opening a bookstore, and there are few customers in the store, so coming to an editor to talk about something and signing an agreement will not cause any fluctuations in the store's revenue at all.
Xu Changqing stood behind the counter in a trance. Lu Anzhi, who wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", actually wanted to find himself to co-write it?! He didn't think that such a lucky thing would happen to him, so he still has some doubts about the truth of the matter.
But in his heart, he desperately hoped that this was true, and he was eager to seize this opportunity.
Ran Ran has lost a complete family, and Xu Changqing doesn't want his daughter to not have a complete family, not to mention that she won't be able to get a good life. He was going to resign, but he didn't expect such a turnaround.
If he can seize this opportunity, he can continue to work part-time here, usually write, and take care of Ranran. This is the best result.
If he doesn't, he'll have to move on to find a new job. That kind of uncertainty is beyond his grasp, and he doesn't know if he will find a new job when the time comes, and whether it will be as suitable as it is now. With Ran Ran, time and income are all issues he needs to consider.
He was nervous and looked at the door from time to time. The door was deserted, and everyone who passed by couldn't help but mention in his heart, suspecting that it was his own editor.
But when a young-looking girl finally came to the door, he didn't dare to admit it.
"Are you Xu Changqing?"
The young girl came in and asked.
"Uh......"
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly said, "It's me...... Struggling to edit? ”
"It's me."
Grinning bitterly, he took out two agreements from his bag and said, "You can take a look at it first, and sign it if it's okay." I'll give you an outline after signing, and I'll see if I can write it, and I happen to be here to give you some advice. ”
Xu Changqing hurriedly took it, just looked at it briefly, and signed his name on the two confidentiality agreements without saying a word.
Ku Bitter was always looking at Xu Changqing, the Xu Changqing in front of her was not the same impression as the text, she seemed to feel some tension and embarrassment from the person in front of her.
Is it because of Boss B's name?
I couldn't figure it out, but I thought it might be.
After all, Boss B is so strong and is an adult idol, so there is no problem.
After Xu Changqing signed his name, he took back the agreement and said, "I still need B to go back...... Teacher Lu signed it, so I can get you a copy. Do you have a computer here? I brought a USB flash drive, show you the outline, let's discuss it, you try to write. ”
