I'm The Hard Rice King

Chapter 204 The Story of the Editorial Department

Shanghai, the office of the head of the female channel editorial department and the gold medal editing studio within the Dingmin Group.

At this time, a man about thirty years old was sitting in front of the computer, concentrating on his work.

He was wearing an ordinary dark blue sweatshirt, but his appearance was extremely extraordinary. His face under the black broken hair was fair and soft without losing the lines, and his thick eyebrows were slightly raised rebelliously and softened. ripples, a pair of deep eyes that seem to see through the world, lazily but still sharp, straight bridge of nose, expression as silent and cold as ice, even the faint dark circles around the eyes are so uniquely charming...

This person is Li Peifeng's editor, Xia Sheng!

He is using TT software to edit work groups and communicate with colleagues;

"Did you read the novel I sent you yesterday? Please comment on it."

(Editor-in-Chief of Group 9) Yy: "It's too long, I didn't read it."

(Editor-in-Chief of Group 2) Baodao: "@夏胜, let’s take a closer look at the situation. Yesterday, you, the leader of a female channel, dumped a huge file in our male channel editor-in-chief group, asking for comments. You are just like a scumbag and you don’t care. Can we digest it? You started asking us for results this morning. Are you asking for help? What kind of attitude do you have?!"

(Editor-in-Chief of Group 6) Peanut: "Hey guys, my Internet speed is too slow. The document of more than 200 megabytes was only received today. @Xia Sheng, after five years, I will burn the review to you after reading it."

(Editor-in-Chief of Group 1) Lemon: "As the leader of the group, I will give you a few words. Let's review two meals of He's official cuisine. Lao Xia, what do you think?"

Xia Sheng, who was in front of the computer, gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't we make an agreement yesterday?"

(Editor-in-Chief of Group 9) Yy: "Who told you? Who saw it?"

(Editor-in-Chief of Team 2) Baodao: "Come on, give him a plane ticket quickly. The leader of the female channel came to our male channel to fool around. He doesn't understand the rules at all!"

Xia Sheng: "Okay, two meals! Please be serious, you bastard!"

(Editor-in-Chief of Group 6) Peanut: "Lao Xia's attitude is still okay, what do you think?"

(Editor-in-Chief of Group 7) December: "Hahaha, let's go on Friday. Let's go eat on Friday."

(Editor-in-Chief of Team 2) Baodao: "(Goutou) is not bad. It will be easy to handle as long as you understand the rules. I will go to your office later and give you a summary of everyone's comments."

Xia Sheng took a long breath, rubbed his temples, and clicked on a document called "The Chronicle of Sword and Magic - History" on his computer, and looked at it word by word.

Sometimes he frowned with a serious expression, and sometimes he looked relaxed and smiled...

About an hour later, Baodao sent him a document. Xia Sheng had just finished receiving it when someone knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Enter."

It was a thirty-year-old middle-aged man wearing a jeans plaid shirt, thin hair and glasses, with the appearance of a standard IT man.

"Old Xia, have you received the electronic version?"

The editor-in-chief of Group 2, ‘Baodao’, whose real name is Li Baodao, entered the room and sat down across from the desk.

"That's what you're looking at."

Xia Sheng stared at the computer screen, took out the cigarette on the table and handed it over.

The two of them each lit one, and Li Baodao puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "I'll sum it up for you, three words, not optimistic."

Xia Sheng simply stopped looking at the screen, stared at the other person and asked, "Reason?"

"What he has sent out now is just a short outline, but it has already been stated in it that this is a story in which the protagonist travels through a different world and uses his thoughts from the original world to transform the other world. The highlight is that he uses the protagonist to write the different thoughts of the two worlds. , the collision and spark of different values.”

"Analyzing the story setting alone, Yiliangfeng wanted to write an extremely grand and realistic fantasy work with a serious style. There are 200 megabytes of documents and 190 megabytes of pictures, including world maps, humanistic flowers and birds, The appearance of each race. There are also 700,000 words of historical biographies, describing the evolution of creatures from the birth of another world, the establishment of various countries, and the heroic stories of each race..."

"Then what kind of book is Yiliangfeng going to write? He wants to write about politics, philosophy, human nature, divinity, animal nature, the different habits of each race in a different world, and a magnificent and mysterious parallel story. The world includes those metaphysical philosophical thoughts..."

Speaking of this, Li Baodao paused and said with a smile: "Even if you don't consider his writing skills, even if he has the ability to integrate these things, from a market perspective, do you think readers will like this kind of novel?"

"..."

Li Baodao flicked the ashes of his cigarette and emphasized: "I don't know, but I know that today's readers prefer to read more relaxed works that can relax their mood. From the self-struggle in ancient times, to the diligent practice of not asking for anything from others, don't be deceived. From being a poor boy; to being reborn; to the system stream, to the divine stream; and then to the current lying-down sign-in stream... Even if you are on a female channel, you should be able to realize that the current online articles are getting lighter and lighter, and you dare not leave Heavy lines, because readers are under great pressure, and their demand for online articles is naturally changing."

"But..." Xia Sheng was about to say something, but Li Baodao interrupted: "Yes, Yi Liangfeng has written this story very wonderfully. The power system is tightly integrated, the socio-economic system has no loopholes, all countries and races The political system is unique, unheard of and makes you feel extremely real. It makes people marvel, and even makes people doubt that he has really been to that other world."

"Yy has worked as a game planner before. He said that this document is intact and can be used directly to make games. A 3A RPG game masterpiece, two story and art teams with a total of thirty people may not be able to make it for a year. Such a wonderful work. But this is writing a web article!"

Xia Sheng was silent for a moment, put out the cigarette butt, and sighed: "It's difficult to do."

"Secondly, the theme of this book by Yiliangfeng is fantasy, right?"

Li Baodao asked and answered himself: "I am doing fantasy and understand what is going on. The fantasy market is too declining at present. Nowadays, film and television companies simply do not consider fantasy works for film and television adaptations. Western fantasy online novels are basically not adapted into film and television dramas. . First, it is difficult to shoot, and second, it is not localized enough. The whole world has Western names, but the actors on the screen are all yellow-skinned and black-haired, which is too inconsistent... Film and television cannot work, for writers like Platinum Master. Said that more than half of the income has been lost!"

Xia Sheng couldn't help but said: "There are also yellow races in Narnia, and some of the names are similar to the names of people in our country. In addition, you also said that this book can be adapted into a game. If it doesn't have action, can it also be a manga? These two parts The copyright of children is also very valuable."

"Well, let's not go that far." Li Baodao waved his hand: "Let's talk about practical matters at the moment. I'll ask two questions."

"explain."

"Yi Liangfeng has written so many female videos before. Now he has just signed a platinum contract and is writing from a male perspective again. Do you think he will adapt? On the other hand, his original female readers can follow the male channel and continue reading This novel?"

Xia Sheng muttered: "I'm not worried about whether Yiliang Feng is suitable for writing male videos. You can see his writing skills from the structure of the world. He studied under Zhao Qingge, a top student who specializes in Internet literature. He has no problem writing anything. I The main thing is to look at the market. As for the follow-up rate of changing channels, don’t consider it. It will definitely lose a lot of readers, but Yiliangfeng wants to write a male channel, and I can’t help it.”

"I also told you about the market, it will definitely not be too good, but..."

Li Baodao changed his voice: "Not necessarily. After all, he didn't even finish the outline, he just wrote a summary. What we are talking about now are just guesses. And the market...sometimes, some heroes can do it. Reversed.”

"reverse?"

Xia Sheng smiled and shook his head: "The times create heroes? Or do heroes create times?"

Li Baodao was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic: "Of course it can be reversed. To be honest, I am very optimistic about this author. And considering the novelty of his book and his status as a platinum female channel, we can consider giving him some resources in the early stage... eh, You can't take over after he switches to a male channel, right? Let me do it?!"

Xia Sheng subconsciously crossed his legs, rested his elbows on his knees, rubbed his chin, and stared at his colleagues.

Li Baodao coughed dryly: "Don't think too much, I'm not robbing him, I'm just taking care of him for your sake..."

Xia Sheng stared at him for a long time and chuckled: "Baodao, please put some eye drops on me. Your eyes are red, as if you want to eat someone!"
