Plural Apostles

"It seems that you are not stupid." Siegfried praised casually, which made Karen feel happy, and he continued, "This is called a routine, and it is the most mature and long-lasting application in online texts. In a sense, it supports The existence of Internet literature—popularization of education, popularization of literacy rates, the pressure of social modernization, the satisfaction of the basic material needs of most people and other factors have created the emergence of Internet literature. In this period, the public urgently needs a kind of Entertainment and large enough things to meet their growing spiritual needs, there will be production if there is demand, and there will be capital operation.”

"Do you know what is the core element of web writing?"

Karen thought about it seriously, and faced Ziegfried's expectant eyes, she tentatively replied, "Good-looking?"

"...Let's put it this way." This is a relationship household, this is a relationship household, this is a relationship household... After repeating it in his mind several times, Siegfried continued, "But it should be replaced with another word, interesting."

"interesting?"

"That's right, it's interesting. This is the core element that online literature needs to show. The more audiences who find it interesting, the more popular a certain novel will be and the better its grades will be." Siegfried clicked his mouse and keyboard and gave these books The author of the book sent a signing application, "The existence of routines is to simplify interesting performances. What is a routine? A mature and effective plot template. In a big way, it can be divided into categories such as fantasy, infinite love, etc., and in detail In other words, it can be the design of the plot such as heroes saving the beauty, evil prevails, the weak defeats the strong, monsters are upgraded, map updates, etc., and even various factors in current events and popularity. Its main function is to save a lot of energy to conceive the plot , using simple and labor-saving methods to make readers feel interesting."

"...Like those few books just now?" Karen scratched her head, "But won't you get bored after reading too much of this kind of stuff?"

"Of course it will, but some routines are still effective from ancient times to the present. In a certain way, they fit people's hearts. Some routines are unpopular, so they will be replaced by new routines. New routines will be born out of nowhere—as long as there is demand from the public, routines can exist. Online articles are aimed at the public. The more readers, the greater the benefits. Maybe some readers are tired of a certain routine, but as long as they can harvest To a certain or even most readers, a routine still has value and reason for its existence."

Siegfried clicked on the editing backstage and concentrated on teaching Kallen: "But our editors are different, we must jump out of the general public, because we are the first batch of readers who are tired of reading routines, so in order to avoid our subjective judgments from affecting the objectiveness of the work. In terms of audience size, you have to learn to look at the work from the editor's point of view rather than the reader's point of view."

Kallen nodded seriously, like a chicken pecking at rice.

I hope this eldest lady will not kill all the manuscripts in a violent mood...

"Then let's talk about another factor. According to the entertainment culture with high demand from the public, there is another element besides being interesting, which is updating. For example, these two novels have poor grades, but they have never been updated. They are updated every day. This kind of work can also be signed." Siegfried took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and continued to teach Karen, "I can even judge whether the performance of these two works will be good in the future based on my experience as an editor. Where to - but do you know why I'm texting them signings?"

Karen figured it out this time, and Siegfried made it very clear: "Because I wrote a lot and worked hard!"

"That's right, write a lot and work hard. The public needs a lot of entertainment culture. Maybe these two books are not interesting enough, but their authors are very interesting. The development of a web platform requires a large number of authors and works. Interesting works and hardworking authors , I don't expect much profit from these two novels, what I expect is that under such circumstances, authors who can still persist in creating a large amount of writing, and it seems that authors who don't fill in the words randomly, should be rewarded for their efforts..."

"Yeah!" Kallen nodded in agreement this time, obviously this theory fits her concept very well.

Siegfried suddenly raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his tone changed: "Whether it's worth buying a horse bone with a thousand dollars, or whether the perfect attendance reward that the other party worked so hard to get after signing the contract is not too traumatic for the platform, these are not the main reasons. "

...but sounds like a real reason, okay? !Karen shook her brows, the feeling of pouring you a bowl of chicken soup first, then feeling the deliciousness in your mouth, and turning into poisonous chicken soup in your stomach is so familiar!

"Haha, you have to learn to see through some things... Tsk, I accidentally pulled it too far." Siegfried smiled, "In short, those who work hard should be rewarded-the hard work here refers to the hard work compared to other authors. After all, even if there is a routine to save brain cells for creation, you still have to code out the words one by one, and the quantity is something that must be pursued. There are always some people in the world who complain that hard work is not as good as talent. In fact, they have not worked hard to reach their own. limit."

"I'm a little tired today, I've earned enough money, take a break... The salted fish who get along are still the vast majority of people, and those who can make progress and work hard are still a small number of people. True geniuses do exist, but they are not for salted fish. Reasons, hard work should be rewarded, even if it is trivial."

Karen blinked and looked at Siegfried with a slightly strange tone, she subconsciously asked, "Siegfried, are you working hard too?"

"It doesn't matter if the dead fish give up on themselves, the salted fish just pass by and swim along the water, and the carp swim against the current to become the dragon." Siegfried took a sip of water and said calmly, "22 years old, I graduated from Erben University, and I have been an editor here for seven years. Yes, one piece of salted fish, please give me more advice."

Although Karen doesn't quite understand it, she also knows that this number is very long for ordinary people, and it is logical that it will not change when it grows up: "You never thought..."

"When a person is old, this life is over and it is over. Do your part and finish your journey. This is Xianyu's idea."

Siegfried raised his eyebrows and looked at Kallen who hesitated to speak: "Maybe the scenery upstream is very good, but I'm too tired."

"Hmm... I accidentally said too much. In short, do you understand the core elements of online articles? Interesting first, large quantity is excellent. First, I will give you a simple job to approve the Chapter 1 manuscript of the new book."

It's really strange, talking so much about my heart with a little girl I just met...

Siegfried muttered a few words strangely in his heart, then pushed the laptop in front of Kallen, raised his hand and rubbed his shoulder.

"Then let's get started. If you have any questions, just ask me. I'll solve the authors' questions and leave messages on my mobile phone."

Chapter 710 Six Crimson Dawn

"Siegfried, what's the matter with this book Chapter 1? It doesn't read smoothly at all, it's completely messed up..."

Sending a set of fixed signing procedures to a cute new author, Siegfried looked away from the phone and landed on the laptop screen. On it was Chapter 1 sent by a book Karen was reading, just like Karen said that although there are [-] words and paragraphs, these [-] words are chaotic and disorderly, and it is impossible to read the orderly meaning at all.

"It was done by people with ulterior motives and idleness." Siegfried was used to it, and he glanced at Kallen, who was a little puzzled, "When the Internet first started, many processes and management were still very immature. , still trying to move forward, and at that time a platform caused a lot of trouble."

"Someone created a book, and uploaded Chapter 1 with a face-rolling keyboard. At that time, that chapter was approved, and the content of the book also appeared on the website platform-this exposed the lack of seriousness and carefulness of the review, angry readers and The author frantically voted and clicked on that book, and once made that book appear on several ranking lists. Although the website quickly responded and resolved this matter, the impact of this matter still remained. The book with the face rolling the keyboard was jokingly called a divine book by the readers at the time, and you can find some things after searching on the Internet.”

Siegfried sighed: "So this kind of thing is very common, and the editor's job is not so easy to do. If you don't pay attention, you will leave a stain on your career and discredit the platform-as for this, you can't review it directly. Just pass."

"By the way, there is also the cover of this new book, which has the logos of other online literature platforms on it, and he is also rejected."

Karen listened carefully to Siegfried's words, and then carefully reviewed the manuscript, turning back to ask questions from time to time.

A noob, but he studies hard, is young and energetic, and can be regarded as a polite relationship...

Trouble and effort in various senses, how good is it that you are also a salted fish?Siegfried looked regretfully at Kallen, who was concentrating on his work. He solved a few problems about signing new contracts, then looked at the time displayed on his phone, and took out a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet.

Kallen, who was obsessed with reviewing and replying, felt that someone beside her patted her on the shoulder. She turned to look at Siegfried, slightly puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Please go to the fruit shop downstairs to buy fresh fruits and come back. It doesn't matter if the hundred are used up."

Karen looked at the computer screen. Although she didn't know why Siegfried suddenly wanted to eat fruit, she took the money and went downstairs to buy fruit.

Fortunately, there was no inexplicable self-esteem, Siegfried heaved a sigh of relief, and then checked the manuscript that Kallen had reviewed just now, and the speed was several times faster than Kallen's.

It’s pretty serious, and the problems I’ve been reminded of basically haven’t been committed, but I’m too soft-hearted. Some sentences are very incomprehensible and have obviously affected the reading experience. However, the review is passed and serialization on the platform is allowed. The requirements in this regard are not high. Yan, it's not a big deal to relax...

After checking Kallen's work just now, Siegfried waited leisurely for a while before Kallen walked into the office with a few bags of fruit.

"It's troublesome..." Siegfried nodded with a smile, and said in a slightly lowered voice, "Split the fruit and give some to others, and get to know the people in the office by the way, and if you have any questions in the future, just trouble them. "

"Oh."

Karen nodded ignorantly, and didn't think there was anything wrong with Siegfried's words. After all, in this mental world, Bronya had already said that she had to integrate into the life of the world, so that she could get close to Siegfried's life.

After wandering around, she got to know other editors in the office. Karen returned to her seat and continued to approve new books. After seeing Chapter 1 of a certain book, the corners of her eyes trembled, she looked around awkwardly, and then poked He poked Siegfried, and there was a little blood on his cheeks: "Oh... have you given this?"

Siegfried looked at it with his head: "No, the writing is too explicit and does not conform to the values."

"Uh...Actually, I'm a little strange. There are many books about murder and robbery in Chapter 1. Why do you have stricter requirements for this kind of 'color'." Refused, looked at Siegfried with some doubts and asked, "Killing or something, does it feel more serious?"
