Genius writer

Ren Mingqing has recently lost love, and his career is not going well—"Reincarnated Wheel" did not perform well on Xinhui.com.

The Prince once said that there are only two positive rewards for writing a book: one is money and the other is popularity.For Ren Mingqing, he is not short of money, and Zhuang Mo thinks that he is not short of anything in his life; the return on investment of his book writing is also very high, a short story is 120 million, and Zhuang Mo told him in "Reincarnation" , less than 2 million do not shoot.

But Ren Mingqing will still be lonely.

Writing is always meant to be read by others.No one is watching, so what if you have money?As an author, Ren Mingqing has this psychological need.

Serialization can directly hit his pain points.

In the era when there was no Internet and only physical books, the author had to get feedback from readers, complete writing, submit a manuscript, revise the article, publish the book, go public, and then receive letters from readers. The time gap in the middle may be as long as one or two years.Writers and readers are out of sync.Maybe the author scratched his head and felt that my writing was really good, and wanted to ask someone to take a look--sorry, you have a confidentiality agreement, you have to finish writing first.After buying the book, the reader scratches his head and thinks that the author's writing is really good, and then writes a reply letter to express his moving feelings, the author even forgets what he has written.

Serialization is different.The author writes a paragraph and posts a paragraph, and immediately gets a call from the reader, and he will be full of motivation: Hmm!I'm going to keep writing!Or if there is something wrong with the article, and the reader sees something wrong, he can also learn about his own shortcomings from the reader's complaints or the gap in the data, and correct it in time.Readers and writers are becoming increasingly in sync.

Internet serialization has lowered the threshold for being a writer, invited the author out of the altar, and also narrowed the distance between the author and the reader.In the past, readers didn't know where to find the author, but now, the author is the one who can communicate with them as soon as they plug in the network cable.

However, such timely feedback has both advantages and disadvantages for the author.

If the author writes for several hours and publishes it on the Internet without any splashes, then he will immediately doubt his life: Am I writing too badly?If a person is not determined, he may become disheartened and lose his pen in a few days.

He may also decide the direction of his writing because of readers' likes and dislikes, and limit his subject matter, writing style, vision and height in order to please readers.

What's more important is that the author came from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, tore off the mysterious veil, and after becoming a character within the reach of readers, he was close and obscene.In increasingly frequent exchanges, the author may be infinitely magnified if he says a wrong sentence or does a wrong thing.Readers worship them as gods, only to find that they are just ordinary people with weaknesses in character. This gap is often unforgivable.Therefore, authors in the Internet age not only have to accept readers' review of text content, but also accept readers' inspection of character.

It is very difficult for a human being to cultivate into a god in such an impetuous environment.

Authors in the pre-web era, groping together with editors in the dark for several years, finally broke out of their cocoons and became butterflies. This is an experience that Internet authors have never experienced.Internet writers die at birth, or are surrounded by flowers and applause, thorns and sunspots, which will bring different tempers to their xinxing.

That is to say, Ren Mingqing's godhead has been stabilized, so Zhuang Mo dared to release him for serialization.To be on the safe side, he tried his best not to let Ren Mingqing have too much contact with readers.Zhuang Mo threw the saved manuscript to the editor to update, and the writer account did not allow him to log in. Usually, he only selected some good screenshots for him to make him happy.Ren Mingqing is not just an internet author, he doesn't need to compete with others on the platform, Zhuang Mo's positioning for him is far more than that.

However, no matter how thoughtful Zhuang Mo thought it was, Ren Mingqing's original impulse as the author still made him uneasy after writing the article.

People who used to write from morning to night, now they have to cut to the website after writing a few sentences, swipe the collection in 5 minutes, and open a comment in 10 minutes. .When Zhuang Mo came to inspect, he pretended to call out Word to write a few words, and his work efficiency plummeted.

Ren Mingqing not only brushes his own essays, but also other people's.The book on the same list of new articles as myself, I have to go shopping several times a day, the data is probably better than him, the mentality collapsed in an instant, and I was lying on the ergonomic chair.

Then cut to the homepage and watch An Du's "The Undisciplined Prince", Xiao Guanlan's "Above the Blue Sky", Hong San's "Rebirth of the Vast Lord", Bai Shangshang's "Being Small" and Ke Ran's " Fans voted frantically for the books "Guide to the Survival of the Male Gods" and voted for them in six figures.Compared with my pitiful 30 votes, I instantly felt that life was hopeless.

Then move the mouse to the special area of ​​the gods, dubbed as "God's Domain", and seeing Xuan Yuan's "Dust Smoke and Smile VI" hit more than [-] million hits, Ren Mingqing was completely stunned.Can't beat, can't beat, slipped away.

Ke Ran also hangs on Q all day long, extracting comments from readers praising her for Ren Mingqing to read, euphemistically saying: "It's all thanks to you! This time I've improved a lot! Wow~"

She is a person who likes to show off very much, and when she becomes popular, she will go to heaven, that is to say, she is pretending to be modest with Ren Mingqing.However, the original intention of this kind of modesty is to show off, or to show off purposefully.She knew that Ren Mingqing and Zhuang Mo had a close relationship, and to express herself to Ren Mingqing was to express herself to Zhuang Mo.

Ren Mingqing still had a good temper, no matter what she would foolishly respond to her, she would tell him anything she had.The reader boasted badly, so he yelled at him; the reader and the book fan next door fought, and he yelled at him; he also secretly poked about gossip and the old black history.Ren Mingqing became her private tree hole, bearing her showing off and negative energy every day, and the most frequently typed words were "Okay, okay" and "Forget it".

Fortunately, he is an honest man.But if Keran cuts out a piece of the message sent to him, Keran will end up ruined.Ren Mingqing didn't understand these things.He is impatient at times, but good upbringing does not allow him to turn a blind eye to other people's news.And there was a little girl on the opposite side, and he was too embarrassed to say that I was not interested and didn't want to hear it.

Ke Ran became popular too quickly and endured too much criticism, and his mood fluctuated with the comments.She cried to Ren Mingqing and asked him if he knew the Great God Xuanyuan, and wanted to ask how the Great God solved this problem, but she was still being dragged down by the Great God Xuanyuan.Ren Mingqing honestly sent a WeChat message to ask Xuanyuan what to do if there are too many black spots in the comment area.

Xuanyuan: "I don't read the comments."

Ren Mingqing: "..."

Xuanyuan: "There are tens of thousands of articles in each chapter. It looks like you don't have to do anything for a whole day. Who has that leisure."

Ren Mingqing: QAQ

He relayed Xuanyuan's words to Keran, but Keran thought about it, but he himself closed himself.

When he was entertaining himself, he didn't have this kind of anxiety. He was only in pursuit of the quality of the text. He couldn't control the readers and data, and he didn't have the opportunity to control it.Anyway, he is a small author, no, he is not even considered an author, he is just a lover of literature, he never thought he would become popular, just write it.Without hope there is no despair.

But Zhuang Mo gave him hope.

Zhuang Mo said, "Every story of yours can move me"; Zhuang Mo provided him with the necessities of life at any cost, allowing him to devote himself to creation; Zhuang Mo sold one of his short stories for 120 million, saying "Reincarnation" is a Tens of millions of IPs.Ren Mingqing, no matter if he is a Buddhist, will inevitably step into the Shura field of commercial writing, where data is everything, and readers decide which one to go and which one to stay.

Now the unpopularity of "Reincarnation" has caused him a huge gap. In this gap, the little confidence he had just built was shattered again.Not only did he doubt himself, but he was also worried that Zhuang Mo would lose him if things went on like this, and he was under a lot of psychological pressure.

Sometimes Ke Ran gets angry, saying how ignorant the reader is, and saying things she doesn't like to hear, which makes him really sad.He only has more than 10 comments in [-] words. If a reader seriously writes a long comment to point out his shortcomings, he will be very grateful.

After Zhuang Mo returned home that day, he found that Ren Mingqing was not in the right mood.He asked Ren Mingqing what was wrong, but Ren Mingqing refused to say at first.He followed Zhuang Mo all day, and learned the details of commercialization by ear.He knows that Zhuang Mo is the boss of Jingyu, and he can push him to the fire with a wave of his hand. If he cries and complains that his work is unpopular, it seems to be asking him to reach out for the list.Ren Mingqing has a thin skin and dare not do this.

Zhuang Mo was in a hurry, so Ren Mingqing picked up the rice and whispered: "...It feels like no one is watching."

Zhuang Mo didn't turn his eyebrows coldly at him as he imagined, but coaxed him very intimately: "Are you unhappy?"

Tian Tian on the opposite side took a mouthful of rice and almost spit it out.

"Then what do you want to buy, I'll buy it for you, don't be unhappy."

Ren Mingqing and Tian Tian: "..."

Zhuang Mo: "Do you want a game console?"

Ren Mingqing: "I'm not, I didn't... I'm very happy." She forced a smile.

The next day, Zhuang Mo asked someone to go to Hong Kong to buy him a Rolex Black Water Ghost.

Ren Mingqing lay down in front of the computer.

He just wants someone to read the text...

Of course, Zhuang Mo is not so idiotic that he can't even grasp the main line of conflict.Ren Mingqing's little thoughts are clear to him, the author is not popular and sad.

It's just that he already has his own considerations about how this book works.The competition for the quarterly championship has become more and more fierce recently, and the attention of the entire event has been rising like a rocket.Originally, he just wanted to reward the author and win people's hearts. However, An Du's past experience shows that this kind of sudden popularity can make the author become popular overnight, and it is also possible to backlash after becoming popular.

He can bet on other people, but he can't afford to bet on Ren Mingqing.He would rather Ren Mingqing not be popular for a while, than join in the excitement.Zhuang Mo hid him out of overprotectiveness.Not happy, he has plenty of ways to make him happy.

In order to distract him, Zhuang Mo made a rule: You are unhappy now and don't want to write, it doesn't matter, I will give you a small gift every day until you are happy.If you go back to code and feel that the incentive is not enough, then every day when you write 5000 words, I will clear your shopping cart worth 5000 yuan; when you write 10000 words, I will clear your shopping cart worth 10000 yuan; If there is nothing, I will pick it for you.

Ren Mingqing: "Don't do this!"

Zhuang Mo: "I want to do this."

Ren Mingqing: "I take back what I just said!"

Zhuang Mo: "I can't take it back, you said you were unhappy."

Ren Mingqing: "I won't be happy if you buy it!"

Zhuang Mo: "If you don't feel happy buying, buying, buying, I really have no other choice."

Ren Mingqing: "Mr. Zhuang!"

Zhuang Mo: "Hey!"

Ren Mingqing: "I..."

Zhuang Mo: "Have you decided what to buy?"

Ren Mingqing: "..."

Zhuang Mo is very domineering towards other people's kindness, and he will never change his mind. Ren Mingqing can't quarrel with him, and there is no other way except to finish the article honestly and let Zhuang Mo stop spending money for him.

In order to prevent him from reading the page of "Reincarnated Wheel" all the time, Zhuang Mo shut him down to the company to write every day, cut off his internet, and prevented him from swiping data to read comments.

One day, an unexpected person knocked on his door.

Zhuang Mo saw that it was Keda, and politely invited him in to sit down: "What's the matter?"

Da Ke didn’t get close to Xie Xiangrong’s lap before, and he didn’t think about Jing Yu anymore. Later, when the user’s homepage became popular, Tian Tian approached him, saying that he moved a 50 piece of Weibo content, and he wrote crazy jokes on the Xinhui app every day. , is currently the number one traffic master in the light reading department.

It's just that Tian Tian obviously favored Tianliang Wang Po and Ke Ran more, and Da Ke's mentality collapsed.He especially looked down on Wang Po of Tianliang, and felt that she, an old lady, had been writing for so many years and was not popular, and she had no sense of the internet at all. She even wanted to get up by writing some so-called deep reality short stories to attract people's attention by rote .Although his status can't be endangered yet, but if the boss doesn't tilt the resources towards him, this group of people will catch up sooner or later.

His current view of Tian Tian is like throwing away a not-so-beautiful girl. As a result, she had plastic surgery after she left him, and her temperament, clothing and appearance have risen linearly. He regrets it.Although it is not that he has no other places to go, but in comparison, Jingyu is the most supportive of Duanzi bloggers and has the most complete monetization channels, so he wants to talk to Zhuang Mo about signing a contract.

"Sign a contract? Yes." Zhuang Mo grabbed the internal phone and wanted to call Tian Tian over, but Da Ke quickly stopped, "I have already talked with Tian Tian, ​​and we have some terms that we can't agree on."

"I see." Zhuang Mo took out the writer's agency contract template from the Light Reading Department, "May I ask which clauses do you have an opinion on?"

"I have a problem with the price of a single article. Some of my short stories are as long as one or two thousand words, and they are also 50 yuan a piece."

"Then it will be settled according to the thousand-character remuneration, do you think it's okay?"

Da Da's eyes rolled: "Then my short jokes will be at a disadvantage. The shorter the better, the better it will be spread. There is no reason to bring traffic to the APP but earn less."

"Then what do you think is a more appropriate calculation?"

"Within 200 words, it will be calculated as 50 articles, and if it is more than 200 words, it will be calculated as [-]-character manuscript fee." Ke Ke had already calculated it before he came, so that he could keep his income regardless of the length of the drought or flood.

"Okay - I heard from Tian Tian that you also have your own ideas about the thousand-character remuneration."

"I don't really care about money." Koda knew that Mr. Zhuang's gestures were big and he was quick to give money, so after talking about the core calculation method, he pretended to be polite, "I hope to have a serious and responsible person. A strong writer agent works for me, which can help me develop better. Tian Tian is too young, I have suffered from him, and I can't trust him anymore. Editor Xie and Editor Yang are even more unsuitable for me. Mr. Zhuang, can you take me with you personally?"

He always ran to Jingyu and heard a lot of industry news.I heard that Mr. Zhuang has a lot of background. He was the one who did the case of "New Tenant". A boss of this level has many channels in his hands, which are not comparable to several editors under him. If he is involved, the future will be hopeless worried.Koda believes that he is the No. 1 Weibo writer, so he recommends himself with confidence.The editors below might not buy his account for one reason or another, but Zhuang Mo is the boss, so it is impossible to offend the author.

Seeing Zhuang Mo's astonished expression, Da Ke hit the rails while it was hot: "A few days ago, I had more than one million fans on my writer account, and there are always people in the backstage who want to cooperate with me. Palm Read also wants to invest in me and build a studio for me..." He said After a turn, he began to pursue Zhuang Mo, "But I am more optimistic about Jingyu's development. This is inseparable from your wise leadership, Mr. Zhuang. I heard that you also personally lead the author. If we join forces, the results will definitely be better than Du Tashan better..."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhuang Mo's polite eyes suddenly became sharp, accompanied by the movement of raising his eyebrows, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Da Da was in a panic: "I heard that you are his editor, but didn't he rush to the street..."

"Please wait a moment." Zhuang Mo printed out Koda's joke, stood up and opened the door of the lounge, "Qingqing, come out and rest."

Dakota was dumbfounded: what?Is there anyone else in there?Could it be Dutashan deity?

After a while, he saw a wimpy young man limping out from the inside, it really was Duta Yamamoto!Is Mr. Zhuang's golden house hiding his charm? !He won't hear it!

Ren Mingqing was particularly shy of strangers. Although she had a relationship with Koda, she just smiled shyly and swayed unnaturally behind Zhuang Mo to hide.Zhuang Mo motioned Dada to wait for a while, and pushed him on the boss chair: "I'll show you a few articles."

"what?"

Zhuang Mo put Koda's joke in front of him: "Look."

Ren Mingqing didn't understand what it meant, but after watching it honestly, he laughed out loud after a while.He raised the corners of his mouth the whole time, and after watching it, he said sincerely, "It's really interesting."

"Why do you think these jokes are so interesting?"

Ren Mingqing spent more time reading the text this time, and his expression was more serious.After a while, he raised his head and said, "Anti-logic."

Da Ke: "... Huh?"

Zhuang Mo's expression was very gratified, and he tapped the table with his slender index finger: "Can you write in this style?"

Koda almost jumped up from the sofa, Zhuang Mo asked Ren Mingqing to imitate him? !What kind of medicine can he sell in his gourd?

"let me try."

For Koda, the waiting time was longer than hell, but in fact, it only took 15 minutes for Ren Mingqing to withdraw his hands from the keyboard. Fifteen minutes later, Ren Mingqing raised his head from the desk and handed the manuscript to Zhuang Mo.Zhuang Mo browsed through it hastily, and made an internal call to Tian Tian: "Take a break, take your wife downstairs for afternoon tea." With loving eyes, he sent away Ren Mingqing who didn't know why.

After Ren Mingqing left, Zhuang Mo handed his manuscript to Koda.

It can be seen that it is like falling into an ice cave.

"The style you are proud of is actually extremely easy to be copied. Although not everyone can do it, but for an author with aura, it is easy to spend some time imitating you. He can imitate you as he wants, how about you? ? Can you imitate any of his articles?"

Da Da has only read "The New Tenant", not to mention short stories of this quality, even if they are ordinary short stories, he can't write them.

Zhuang Mo sat down beside him, his domineering body language seemed to be mocking his overreaching: "Red is an easy task, but Changhong is much more difficult. The author's core competitiveness has never been his How many fans there are, but how solid his foundation is and how well he writes. You can see that Duta is not popular now, and you can come back in two years.” As he said, he patted Keda’s Shoulder.

In the end, he told Tian Tian that Koda's manuscript fee would be settled at five hundred per thousand characters. "Don't sign his other copyrights, just sign a one-year light reading contract."

Now the Internet is full of people who follow the trend of Keda, but Dada lacks core competitiveness, and it is estimated that it will only be popular for a year.
