genius editor

Ren Mingqing was taken aback when he received Tian Tian's request for a manuscript, 10 yuan to write the ending of "The Great and Poor Chronicle"?

Washing Ashes: What Does It Mean?

A mouthful of salty: It means being a gunman, no signature

Washing the ashes: Why didn't he write it himself?

One mouthful of salt: Because the author passed away, he entrusted us to find someone to help him write the ending

Ren Mingqing was stunned, did Sihai Zongheng pass away?

"The Great and Poor" is Teacher An's favorite novel, and Teacher An recommended it to him, so he regards it as a masterpiece.He still remembers the scene of him flipping through books carefree in Teacher An's office.

There was a big sunny window in that small and messy office, and he was lying under the window reading "The Great and Poor Ji", while Mr. An was scribbling and correcting his homework.The warm sunshine, the soft sound of the pen tip across the paper, and the laughter and play of the teenagers in the distance made this scene so beautiful that it was almost unreal. When he recalled the past, he found that he only felt that moment. to the so-called happiness.

But that moment was very long, enough for him to set foot in two worlds.His body stayed in that safe and quiet afternoon, but his soul flew freely over the ten continents and three seas, overlooking the gunpowder smoke that covered the sky, witnessing the entanglements of the three generations of Lin's family, and watching Yujian's exchanges. The joyful grievances and vengeance of the sword fairies, those soul-stirring reunions and partings... He will read many stories in the future, and even start to write his own stories, but none of them can make him brood for so long, thinking that the whole world None are comparable to it.The first book I read when I was young is like the first person I loved when I was young. It is always too good to be flawless, just like the afternoon in my memory.

Sitting in front of the computer, he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and only after a while did he realize that he was crying.

"The Chronicle of the Great and Poor" is not over yet, but the person who wrote "The Chronicle of the Great and Poor" is no longer there, which makes half of the beautiful scene in his memory missing, and the ten continents and three seas in the book no longer operate.The smoke, grievances, love and hatred, and parting all stop at the moment of the author's death. They are not over, they are still there. They struggled in the darkness before dawn but could not reach a bright ending. Ren Mingqing felt that this was a bit scary.

He's a delicate, sentimental guy who loves the world, loves the characters, and always believes that they really exist in some parallel dimension.In a sense, he grew up with them alone, and he worshiped them as gods because of his own weakness.When he was young, how much he longed for a senior brother who could stand in front of him and protect him when he was being bullied; he gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide countless times, just because Lin Che had experienced a more miserable experience than him. The past, but still so kind and full of hope.He believed that these people really existed somewhere, and that he had some kind of bond with them, and he cared about their fate, so he tried not to be so bad that it would embarrass them.

Therefore, Ren Mingqing has deeper feelings for the characters than for the author.The world is a distant phantom in his mind, he can't touch it and doesn't know anything about it, but all the characters in the book "Great Life" are friends and playmates introduced to him by Mr. An, They have passed through the dark years together, and one day they will all be happy and grow old happily.When he thought that Si Hai Zongheng had passed away, and these friends who had grown up with him would be left alone, he couldn't help crying.

"In that case, let me take care of them." This thought came to his mind.

When Tian Tian got impatient with waiting, Xiashi finally replied: OK.

Yikouxian: Then you first write the outline and a [-]-word sample draft. After a week, we will have three parties to compare the draft. After passing the contract, we will sign the contract

Ashwash: Oh, ok.

Yikouxian: By the way, this matter must be kept secret, don’t tell others

Ren Mingqing: "..."

"Hey?"

When Ren Mingqing saw the new news that popped up on QQ, he was really a little confused, because he couldn't wait to dial Zhuang Mo's number.He is an honest man, and when he saw the so-called confidentiality request, he immediately blushed, and stammered, "Ah, Mr. Zhuang...it's okay, I made a mistake."

"Impossible." Zhuang Mo immediately exposed the lie.This was the first time that Ren Mingqing contacted him proactively, and with Ren Mingqing's personality, there was absolutely no mistake. "What's the matter, tell me quickly."

Ren Mingqing was very anxious: "...I'm sorry, the editor told me that I can't say it."

Zhuang Mo felt that he should follow the trend and hang up. Thinking about it with his toes, he knew that the editor was Tian Tian, ​​and that thing was to continue writing "The Great Chronicle".But he heard himself coaxing in a low voice: "You say it secretly, I won't tell others."

Ren Mingqing didn't think so: "Mr. Zhuang..."

"You don't have to disclose specific information."

Ren Mingqing struggled for a long time: "...I want to continue writing the ending of a book I like very much."

"Well, the price?"

Ren Mingqing flipped through the chat records with Tian Tian: "... 10 yuan!" He only noticed now.

"How many words?"

This time, Ren Mingqing found that there was nothing in the chat history: "No, I don't know."

"Just to ask."

Ren Mingqing obediently asked Tian Tian, ​​and Tian Tian said that he gave 10 yuan, of course, he wrote as much as he wanted. So far, "The Great and Poor Ji" has published 4 books with nearly 100 million words. No matter what happens in the finale, he has to write another one. ?

After Zhuang Mo learned about it, he told him: "Then at least 30 words, the length of a novella. You are a shooter, and you don't have the right to authorship. You can buy out the full copyright of 10 words for 30 yuan. This price is too low. You are not allowed to take this kind of work again." He regretted it to death, if he had known that this case might be taken by Ren Mingqing, he would have raised the price to 100 million.

Ren Mingqing said anxiously: "I like this book very much, I really want to..."

"Well, then you should write well this time." The continuation of "The Chronicle of the Great and Poor" is not an easy task, and the requirements for the author are very, very high, which just allows him to experience Ren Mingqing's ability to structure novels.

Zhuang Mo, who put down the phone, once again fell into self-doubt. Ren Mingqing is already the author of Tian Tian, ​​and has nothing to do with him.I would remind him not to take this kind of work again because I was afraid that he would be tricked, after all, he literally wrote "Come and lie to me" on his face, um, that's it.

Bai Shangshang finally met up with his best friend Liu Feifei, and the two had a meal together at a Japanese grocery store in the city center.Bai Shangshang complained to her about the bad things that happened to her recently: "I broke up again. That upstart is crazy, and he has been pestering me for a while. The last time you let me go, I was idle in Charming Bored and kissed a little milk dog, he almost beat the little milk dog to death, fortunately the parting was early."

Liu Feifei said flatly: "You can't just hang around like this all the time. It doesn't matter how old a man gets married, but it's different for a woman. Once you're over thirty, it's hard to find a partner."

"Your words will be sprayed to death on Weibo."

Liu Feifei said calmly: "I'm just stating the facts." After a pause, she continued, "I don't go on Weibo."

Bai Shangshang looked at his best friend sympathetically.It is hard for her to imagine that someone can stay off Weibo for a long time, and she feels out of touch with the times if she doesn't check Weibo more than ten or twenty times a day.Moreover, being on Weibo gave her a sense of presence. She just casually took a selfie of eating and posted it on the Internet, and it has already been reposted hundreds of times.It is precisely because of the burden of a big V that she has to dress up carefully for two or three hours before going out, trying on clothes and putting on makeup. Now she is sitting beautifully by the window, and all the men in the restaurant are secretly staring at her. After being given two extra plates of delicious desserts, Bai Shangshang felt that he had received all the love and care of the world.

On the other hand, my best friend is wearing an old business suit that has been washed until it turns white. She faces the sky. Although her facial features are beautiful, her face is covered by a pair of thick glasses. She is so mediocre as if the world automatically Spawned NPCs.Her hair is also too thick, without any careful care, piled heavily on the top of her head, making her look bitter and bitter.

Bai Shangshang couldn't imagine that his best friend was in her prime, how could she be so rustic and slovenly, as if she would always wear the same set of clothes and step on the same pair of black mid-heeled shoes.There was also no vivid expression on her face, nothing could make her happy or sad, she was as calm as a stone carved bodhisattva in a temple.

Liu Feifei noticed her look of "sorrow is not beautiful, anger is not makeup", and explained lightly: "Too busy, the wedding."

Bai Shangshang was heartbroken.All her glamor and beauty are vulnerable to the word "wedding".No matter how mediocre or inconspicuous Liu Feifei was, she also successfully married herself.She belongs to a rich, handsome, and promising man, and will be under his care and protection forever, no matter life or death, sickness, or poverty.She sleeps in that man's arms at night, and she has no dreams all night, because she will be rich in her life and will be full of children and grandchildren when she grows old.She doesn't need to be too beautiful or too capable, just follow the old path that women have walked for thousands of years, and get happiness so easily.And all of Bai Shangshang's glamor and beauty can't even provide her with a stable income for the next month.

Bai Shangshang has sympathy and jealousy for Liu Feifei, and is also very dependent on her.For example, now, she talks about her predicament incessantly: Jingyu returned "Night Voyage" and asked her to make up the draft; Guanwen suppressed Jingyu, and now Jingyu is facing bankruptcy; This matter is under consideration... Sometimes she wonders how she can say so much to a Bodhisattva statue, but to be honest, she doesn't have many friends after turning off Weibo.There are people who like her all over the world, and she can easily catch men on the road, but she always feels very lonely.Only in front of Liu Feifei can she pour out her bitterness without any scruples.

In the past, when Liu Feifei was also an author, their relationship was not close, because there are many categories of authors, and they are obviously not the same category.Later, Liu Feifei put down her pen, went to take an exam for a civil servant, fell in love, and was about to get married, but they moved around more frequently.

At first it was always Bai Shangshang's Liu Feifei.This is not to say that Bai Shangshang admires her so much, but that she can bring Bai Shangshang a sense of security.

Bai Shangshang is a person with a strong sense of competition. She believes that this is a world of great competition, and everyone is struggling to climb up on others. Whether it is an author or a woman, they are all fighting for more with their own capital. H.When an author puts down his pen and a woman marries, she is out of the race.She became a spectator, a person with no ambitions, who devoted herself to raising children and raising children-Liu Feifei happened to have both.So Bai Shangshang likes to be with her, which is the same reason that people like to stay with pets that are not dangerous.She won't fight you over anything and is a good listener.

So the conversation between the two always centered on Bai Shangshang.Bai Shangshang often shows off himself; sometimes complains, which is also a bit of showing off; occasionally cares about Liu Feifei's life to maintain their friendship.

Ordinary people can't stand Bai Shangshang's self-centeredness, but Liu Feifei has a calm temperament, gentleness and generosity, and never gets angry at the other party's rudeness.Moreover, she accepted Bai Shangshang's advances at first because of a strange habit.As an author, she inevitably has a special interest in analyzing the hearts of others, so she can easily forgive others' shortcomings.While Bai Shangshang was talking nonstop, Liu Feifei already had a full understanding of her vanity, pride, inferiority complex, and anxiety, and felt almost compassionate sympathy for her—this woman, how restless and fragile she was in her heart !When you know someone well, it's never easy to blame her.

As time goes by, so does friendship.

The temperaments of the plastic sisters are so opposite, but one out of loneliness and the other out of eccentricity, they have spent ten years of youth together.Now, Bai Shangshang needs Liu Feifei more than anyone else in the world. Selfish, she is not stingy with caring for each other, and she is sincerely worried or happy for her best friend; Feifei will not be jealous of her or look down on her, but only worry about why she hasn't married yet.

It was the same this time, Bai Shangshang Luo Lisuo talked about the predicament she was facing now, Liu Feifei listened and reminded her: "Ye Shun is not bad."

Bai Shangshang didn't take it seriously: "He's so beautiful."

"He has gained weight since he got married." Liu Feifei pushed up her glasses.

Bai Shangshang: "..."

Bai Shangshang: "Then I still hope that he will always be young and beautiful."

Just at this moment, the phone rang, and it was Ye Shun who called her on QQ.Bai Shangshang keeps QQ message notifications, and is only allowed to push Ye Shun's messages, because it is related to whether she can eat next month.Ye Shun told her that three authors had been contacted for the project of "The Great and Poor Chronicle", and they had to write an outline and a [-]-word draft comparison before signing the contract.Bai Shangshang instantly looked like a deflated ball, she hated competition.

"Now I'm going to be a shooter." Bai Shangshang threw away the chopsticks in his hand in a state of distraction, "I wrote a book five years ago and got 20 royalties. I'm still going to grab someone."

"My annual salary is only 12." Liu Feifei said calmly.

Bai Shangshang didn't speak anymore, but the expression on her face seemed to say: How can we compare the two of us, I'm a writer, and I'm still so pretty.

Liu Feifian played Lenerd next to Sheldon calmly: Why did you diss me all of a sudden?Confused, helpless, and used to it.

"The key is that I may not be able to do this project at all. I am a youth campus essay writer, how can I write ten continents and three seas?" Bai Shangshang said with a headache.She wanted to hook up with Xu Jingzhi through "The Great Chronicle" and replace Zongheng Sihai as his goddess, but she also realized that she couldn't write it.

Liu Feifei suddenly raised her head: "Ten continents and three seas?"

"En." Bai Shangshang absent-mindedly responded, and told the whole situation in a continuous manner, "The one who is looking for the gunman is the book of the world, and Jingyu is looking for someone to continue writing "The Chronicle of Greatness."

"Why?" Liu Feifei frowned.

"Because Liancheng's young master said that they agreed to invest only after seeing the end of "The Grand Chronicle"..."

"Why don't you write it yourself?"

Bai Shangshang hadn't seen his best friend so excited before, shrugging his shoulders: "He's dead."

With a clang, the chopsticks in Liu Feifei's hand fell to the ground, and her face turned pale in an instant.Bai Shangshang touched her hand reassuringly, and found that she was trembling slightly.

"what happened?"

"He... when did he die?"

"I don't know. But it was probably the last update of "The Chronicle of the Vast", and it has been several years—do you know him?"

Liu Feifei didn't speak, and she didn't speak after that until her fiancé came to pick her up.It was only then that Bai Shangshang remembered that her best friend used to write fantasy essays on the Longyin forum, and it might have something to do with the world.She later asked Liu Feifei about this on WeChat, but Liu Feifei did not reply.

Bai Shangshang's EQ is not low, but she can't help being presumptuous when facing her own people. Now that something happened to her own people, her EQ immediately went online, and she realized that she might have stepped on the minefield of her best friend.She recorded this matter in her account, and also cut out a section of tape that read "Entry Prohibited" to highlight, and decided to give her girlfriend a period of time to buffer, and then find time to have a good talk with her.

But now, her top priority is to bite the bullet and watch "The Chronicle of Greatness".She hates competition, but there's nothing she can do about it. For the sake of her great ambition of hooking up with Xu Jingzhi, she has to try subjects that she would never touch in her entire life.
