start with masked singer

Chapter 87
Zeng Yun and Cui Yi'an had just finished chatting in this room, and Duan Qi, an old editor in the editorial department, was also chatting with the writers under him.

After the pressure of reviewing is not so great, many editors will chat with the authors in hand, whether it is to guide newcomers, or chat and spank with old authors, these are the norm in the work of editors.

This is also the tradition of the editorial department.

The person chatting with Duan Qi was an old author named Gu Hongjian.

In the past few years, Gu Hongjian's reputation was extremely loud, and he was best at martial arts themes. During that time, the martial arts novels on Wanshi Chinese website had a great improvement, and countless newcomers and veteran authors devoted themselves to the creation of martial arts novels .

In the words of an editor at the time, Gu Hongjian can be regarded as the No.1 martial arts of all ages.

However, after writing a novel, Gu Hongjian disappeared.

This puzzled countless people. Judging from the situation at the time, if Gu Hongjian continued to write, then he could become a great author for the last time, and his future would be bright.

But Gu Hongjian just disappeared for no reason.

It's like evaporating from the world.

After many inquiries, the fans still did not find any news about Gu Hongjian. Some people even speculated that Gu Hongjian might have died of a sudden illness.

In short, in the speculation of the outside world, the name Gu Hongjian has gradually faded out of the public's field of vision.

As the former editor of Gu Hongjian, Duan Qi actually knew very well that Gu Hongjian did not pass away as rumored by the outside world.

On the contrary, Gu Hongjian had nothing to do in the past few years.

As for why he disappeared, he actually went on a trip.Of course, a trip would not take such a long time, but Gu Hongjian took a trip around the world on a whim when he was traveling, and turned Blue Star around once.

In Gu Hongjian's own words, he is a casual person. He was like this when he was writing novels, and so was traveling.

During the tour, Gu Hongjian enjoyed it, and went to explore many inaccessible places.In this way, several years have passed since the end of the tour.

But what Ling Gu Hongjian didn't expect was that when he came back, his family was in poverty, his parents owed a lot of debt because of gambling, and the house would be taken away.

Such a scene is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Gu Hongjian. He originally wanted to help his family pay off the debts, but his own money was spent on the trip again.For this reason, Gu Hongjian, who had just returned home, was almost reduced to a situation where he had no place to live.

Cleaning up his mood, Gu Hongjian knew that the debt still had to be repaid. As for how to make money, he immediately thought of returning to his old business.

writing a novel.

But this guy also wanted to save face, so he gave up his original account and created a small account instead, intending to start over.In his words, if you can get popular once, you can get popular again, and it’s okay to start from scratch.

Seeing what Gu Hongjian said, Duan Qi didn't know how to answer him.

However, compared with before, Gu Hongjian now pays more attention to the achievements of his works, which is what Duan Qi talked with him today.

"Although the subject has changed, your foundation is still there. It should be no problem to get in the top ten in this essay competition."

After sending these words to Gu Hongjian, Duan Qi picked up the milk tea and lay down on the chair, taking a sip happily.

The workload of the editorial department is smaller these days, and energy drinks and coffee are no longer the mainstream, replaced by various drinks.

Putting down the milk tea, Duan Qi saw Gu Hongjian replying a message to herself.

"I remember that the bonus for the top ten is not too high, right?"

Almost spit out the milk tea in her mouth, Duan Qi replied with a smile: "The prize money for the top ten is not bad, at best it will be the top three. I don't think you have much chance to reach the top three now."

Immediately afterwards, Duan Qi added another sentence: "Are you so short of money now? I remember that your book is selling well. From April to now, there are at least a million subscriptions for optoelectronics."

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Hongjian replied: "There are still too few electronic subscriptions, and all the money I earn now is used to pay off the debts, which is still far away."

Seeing Gu Hongjian's answer, Duan Qi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked curiously: "How much money does your family owe?"

Gu Hongjian immediately replied: "Eight digits, I won't say the exact number."

Huh, eight digits? !

Duan Qi never expected that Gu Hongjian's family owed so much money.

After thinking for a while, Duan Qi said: "Then I probably understand your situation, but I can only say that it is still difficult for you to get in the top three. My suggestion is, if you are in a hurry to spend money, I can't help you either." What are you?"

"But if you're not in such a hurry, you can just write this book as hard as you can. If you can't do one book, there will be another one. It just so happens that a book called "The Best Family Man" is very popular recently. You can learn from other people's strengths and write the next book." Sometimes you can imitate his subject matter."

Gu Hongjian didn't take Duan Qi's suggestion to heart. In his opinion, even though he hasn't written a novel for several years, he still hasn't reached the point of following other people's works.

After replying with the word "yes", Gu Hongjian was very troubled at the moment. On the one hand, his family needed money to pay off the debt, and on the other hand, the ranking in the essay competition did not meet his expectations.

The family affairs are partly settled now, so I'm not in such a hurry, but this competition gave Gu Hongjian a big blow.

Not being able to get the bonuses for the top few is the second. The most important thing is that after a few years of not being exposed to online literature, Gu Hongjian found that many readers of his books did not buy it.

In the past, Gu Hongjian was the leader of martial arts novels, and he was unrivaled in the limelight, but now almost no one writes martial arts novels on Wanshi Chinese. This is the change of the times.

Not to mention, Gu Hongjian's level has also declined since he hasn't touched the keyboard for several years.

Feeling a little irritable in his heart, Gu Hongjian looked around in the chat software, and then he saw the readership of his current book.

Usually Gu Hongjian doesn't pay much attention to the news from the readers, but today Gu Hongjian accidentally clicked in.

Before entering the fan group, Gu Hongjian thought that the readers might be discussing the issues in his book, but what he didn't expect was that the readers seemed to be talking about another book.

"Fart, I think Miss Xiao is the heroine, and you don't even think about what this book is called."

Miss Xiao?

The doubts in Gu Hongjian's mind hadn't receded, and soon he saw someone retort: ​​"It's true that you are called Jia Ding, but it doesn't mean that Xiao Yu is the heroine. I think the heroine is definitely Xiao Qingxuan, after all The protagonist has an intersection with her at the beginning of the chapter."

"Hey, there's no need to argue. I'll know who the heroine is later on. I just hope the author can put more effort into it, hehe."

"Indeed, it doesn't feel good enough."

"The author of Jiading is very powerful, and the updates are very fast. Among the books I have read recently, Jiading has the most updates."

"Yeah, the quality is good and the update is fierce. I suspect that he is a vest."

"."

Gu Hongjian did not stop his readers from chatting about other books in the group, on the contrary, he was very interested in what the readers just said.

He wants to know what books can make his readers give unanimous praise.

Flipping through the chat history, Gu Hongjian learned that this book is called "The Best Family".

Isn't this the book that the editor told himself before?

Both editors and readers say this book is good, so it must be not bad.

With this thought in mind, Gu Hongjian searched for the word "Extreme Jiading" on the Wanshi Chinese website. After finding the results, Gu Hongjian clicked on the novel and read it carefully.
