Chapter 12 The Reasoning of Disappearance and the Da Vinci Code

When Ye Chen came to the grade office, Dong Yuqi had already registered. Seeing Ye Chen also came to sign up, Dong Yuqi just glanced at Ye Chen and turned her head.

Ye Chen smiled, knowing that the girl was thin-skinned, he didn't care, so he asked Wang Kong "yes".

Wang Kong nodded with a smile. Wang Kong was not surprised that Ye Chen would sign up to participate. Wang Kong is the leader of the Chinese teaching and research group in the third grade of Qingshui High School. Chen is also the student with the best Chinese scores in the class, so he knows Ye Chen's level quite well.

Ye Chen signed up, and then Liu Ming came to sign up, and after a while, Wang Kong saw that no one came to sign up, so he said to the three people standing beside him: "You three have good grades in liberal arts in the class. , Speaking of which, I have to criticize Marven Ye, it’s okay to be biased, if you can score [-] in mathematics, you will definitely not score [-].”

Speaking of this, Wang Kong glanced at Ye Chen, saw Ye Chen's indifferent expression, shook his head, and continued:
"But this is an opportunity for you, especially Ye Chen. Work hard to get a good ranking in this competition, which can make up for your loss in mathematics, so Ye Chen, you have to pay attention."

Ye Chen nodded cooperatively. Seeing this, Wang Kong nodded in satisfaction and continued:

"In view of the importance attached by the higher authorities this time, and the extra points and rewards are also very considerable, the school leaders also pay special attention to it, so every class that signed up for the competition will be called together for special training. Fortunately, the school has enough teachers, so I plan to go alone Tutoring the three of you, there are still two and a half months before the college entrance examination, and the course has been taught very early. However, since the competition time is four days later, the time is relatively tight. Therefore, starting tomorrow, the three of you will have late self-study time every night. Come to my office for special training."

"Okay, what's the problem?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Kong looked at Ye Chen and the others, and saw that the three of them shook their heads to indicate that there was no problem, and said, "That's nothing, you go back."

Dong Yuqi walked out of the office first, followed by Liu Ming and Ye Chen. As soon as they left the office and walked a few steps, Liu Ming suddenly stopped and turned back to Ye Chen and said:
"Ye Chen, don't forget our agreement."

Ye Chen looked at Liu Ming's serious expression, smiled slightly, nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I will participate."

Liu Ming nodded, and then walked to the classroom.Looking at the back of Liu Mingyuan, Ye Chen rubbed his chin, and suddenly felt that he had a lot of things to solve recently, the Star Cup Fairy Tale Writing Competition, the National Youth Literature Writing Competition, this damn system didn't let him rest.

Evil system!
In the evening, Ye Chen returned home, turned on the computer, and began to look up information about some publishing houses. Ye Chen never forgot his dream. To be honest, Ye Chen felt that he had been delayed recently, and he had too many tasks. After Ye Chen made up his mind to participate in the Quanquan National Youth Literature Writing Contest, he will start his own methodical plan, and now he has to make a name for himself first.

As for the Star Cup Fairy Tale Contest, there is no need to worry, it is a competition jointly organized by many publishing houses, and I only need to write an article and submit it to any one of them.

While browsing the information about some publishing houses on the Internet, Ye Chen was thinking about his future plans. The advantage of having an advanced photo memory is that he can use it at the same time. Anyway, as long as he has browsed it, he can recall it afterwards, and he can still remember it. can be maintained permanently.

Ye Chen's positioning is also very accurate. After all, Ye Chen was an editor in his previous life, and he is very familiar with some publishing houses. Therefore, Ye Chen browses some small and medium-sized publishing houses. The publishing channels of these publishing houses are not bad, and because The reason for the relatively small scale is the lack of well-known writers, so they pay more attention to newcomers, while those large publishing houses are different. Although they have more resources, they are basically concentrated on those already well-known writers. Relatively speaking, For newcomers, it is easier to get ahead.

After repeated comparisons, there are three publishing houses in Ye Chen's mind, Tianxing Publishing House, Deyun Publishing House and Huayu Publishing House.These three publishing houses also have their own advantages. Tianxing Publishing House is the largest, Deyun Publishing House is the oldest, and Huayu Publishing House pays the best.

After some consideration, Ye Chen still chose Huayu Publishing House. First of all, Huayu Publishing House is a publishing house that has just been established in recent years. In the future, I will definitely not be satisfied with becoming a novel author who specializes in a certain type of novel. This is also the most important point in choosing Huayu Publishing House.

Secondly, Huayu Publishing House's treatment for newcomers is relatively high, which is also the second factor Ye Chen considers.

As for the third thing, Huayu Publishing House is located in Qingyang City, so it is more convenient to send the contract, so there is no need to mention it.

After choosing a publishing house, Ye Chen began to think about what type of book he wanted to write and contribute. This is why Ye Chen has such confidence. After all, there are a large number of excellent novels in his mind, so there is no need to worry about not being able to write them.

But after all, it is the first book, so we still have to pay attention to it. After the first book is famous, the road ahead will be much easier. Ye Chen thought for a long time, and many excellent novel names flashed across his mind. Chen is a little bit in trouble, they are all so good, but he doesn't know how to choose.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't laugh or cry, he was probably the first author who didn't know which one to write because the works in his mind were too good?
After another half a day, Ye Chen really had a hard time making a choice. While hesitating, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he slapped his thigh, thinking that he was really stupid. In his previous life, he was an experienced editor. I don't know, if I put two equally excellent novels in front of me in my previous life, I would definitely give priority to the works with a wide market audience.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen excitedly picked up the mouse and began to inquire about the publication status of the best-selling novels in recent years. Ye Chen also has his own way, if he stupidly writes down the sales records of all the best-selling books in recent years, although it is comprehensive, But the workload was too much, instead, Ye Chen just logged into a website.

Shujuan!
Shujuan.com is the most authoritative website about book reading in China. The website will record all published books on the market, and then the netizens who have purchased and read them on Shujuan.com will rate them. The atmosphere of mass reading is also very strong, so the number of registered members of Shujuan.com is also quite large. Many publishers refer to Shujuan.com to a large extent when analyzing market orientation. Therefore, Shujuan.com has very good ratings and various data on books. persuasive.

Ye Chen skillfully entered the website address, logged in to his account, and then began to browse Shujuan.com, click on the book category, and below are the ratings and reviews of various books, as well as sales data.

After a quick glance, Ye Chen found that some aspects were roughly the same as those in the previous life. The sales volume of purely literary books was relatively low, and books with strong storytelling such as novels were more popular in the market.

Ye Chen browsed through the categories of novels one by one, science fiction, biography, history, etc., but soon Ye Chen found something wrong, that is, he didn't seem to see the category of mystery novels, and Ye Chen carefully read it again Again, still nothing.

Ye Chen's heart was pounding a little, and then he searched for the four words "mystery novel" on the web.

Sure enough, as I guessed, there are no mystery novels in this world!

Ye Chen thought at first that there might be no "Sherlock Holmes", but he didn't expect that a bigger surprise was waiting for him here. This world doesn't even have mystery novels!

As a fan of mystery novels in his previous life, Ye Chen can say that he has read countless mystery novels. Since there are no mystery novels in this world, let yourself create a genre of mystery novels!
What?You say market-oriented?Does a novel that creates a genre need to consider the market?

Ye Chen turned off Shujuan.com, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then began to think about which mystery novel he should write first. The first thing that came to mind was "Sherlock Holmes", but Ye Chen then It was rejected. As for the reason, it is also very simple, that is, we should not spoil the reader's taste from the beginning, but we should catch it slowly. Or how can we say that the editor of a novel is a person who makes people love and hate?Ye Chen is!

Although he rejected "Sherlock Holmes" in his heart, Ye Chen still attached great importance to his first book in his heart. A series of classic mystery novels flashed across his mind, and then they were frozen in one recommended by an old professor in a university literature class. This mystery book is also the first mystery novel that Ye Chen has read.

Well, that's it!And fortunately, there is that great artist in this world, so I don't need to modify it myself. This work, in a sense, is a tribute to him!
Ye Chen was not in a hurry to start typing immediately, but made himself a cup of tea in a leisurely manner, then came to the computer unhurriedly, and typed a line.

"The Da Vinci Code"

wedge:

"Museum of Fine Arts, Louvre, Paris, 10:46 p.m."

"In the Vaulted Art Gallery of the Louvre, Jacques Saunière, the venerable curator of the museum, stumbled towards the closest painting he saw—a painting by Caravaggio. The 75-year-old The old man grabbed the gilded picture frame violently and pulled it towards him. At last the picture frame was torn from the wall, and Saunière fell backwards and was covered under the oil painting on canvas."

I don't know when it started to rain outside the window. Ye Chen in the room was concentrating on typing, and occasionally took a sip from the teacup next to him. Only the crackling sound of fingers tapping the keyboard echoed in the small room.
Ye Chen coded very fast, and because he didn't need to think, Ye Chen coded twenty chapters in one night, until his fingers felt sore, Ye Chen saved the novel, closed the notebook, and stretched out the text. Lazy and ready for bed.

Looking at the time, it is already 05:30 in the morning, and it will be an hour before the morning self-study.

Ye Chen turned off the lights and was about to go to bed. As for the class, let's talk about it after waking up!

Ye Chen slept until the afternoon. After waking up and washing up, he still felt dizzy. He couldn't help but smiled wryly. Staying up late is really hurting the body. He typed the words all night in a moment of excitement yesterday. I've been sleeping all day, and I still feel uncomfortable.

It seems that I will have to stay up late less in the future, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution, Ye Chen secretly said to himself.

After getting up, Ye Chen ran to the kitchen to get some food for himself, took out his mobile phone and saw that several missed calls were all from Wang Kong.

It must be that he was a little anxious to find that he didn't go to class all day, and Ye Chen's parents had passed away, so he could only contact Ye Chen himself. Thinking of this, Ye Chen looked at the time, and it was 05:30 in the afternoon.

Although he didn't want to go to study at night, the biggest advantage of adults is self-discipline, so he decided to go to school and ask for three days off, so he could finish writing "The Da Vinci Code". Procrastination is not Ye Chen's style.
