Chapter 239 Selected topics for the second sequence
Although there are endless topics about PK online and everyone's enthusiasm for participation is generally high, overall, the atmosphere of debate is still relatively peaceful. In addition to a small number of posts that criticize hype and brainless blackness, everyone's focus is basically on the novel and the author.
Regular plot discussions and speculations, or explore changes in ancient mediocre styles from the specific texts of a few chapters.
When other authors saw this harmonious and loving scene, they inevitably felt envious again, envious of Gu Yongsheng's vast popularity and the excellent qualities of his readers.
This quality is not only harmonious in the way of discussion, but also includes their literary literacy that is quite skilled, and the kind of idol who is very good at Taoism.
When a bestseller author sighed in a microblog, someone left a message to tell him the truth. The author and the reader have always been writing and reading. When you are lamenting other people's readers, have you ever thought that your readers are also lamenting being embarrassed by other people's authors?
Therefore, the relationship between the author and the reader has a different topic, which has attracted the attention and participation of many netizens.
Online discussions have always been like this. There is no long-term debate that has not been wrong or changed several times. If one day the debate between people can be simplified to the point when you ask me or ask me or ask you, some unnecessary disputes will automatically decrease. Of course, companies that provide debate platforms will not welcome such a thing.
Given that readers' rationality and sensibility are so appropriately combined, Liang Si, the executive editor of Jianglu, proposed to hold a book review competition and simply set up several awards to inspire everyone's enthusiasm, and it is also an echo of other magazines that are preparing various activities in a mess.
At this time, in addition to the "Big Jianghu", "The Legend of the Yuan Dynasty" and "Ding Novel", which have already announced the essay contest, there are two interactive projects:
1. "You ask us to answer it." The general meaning is that readers can ask everyone questions, and then the magazine staff will be responsible for asking this question to find the most accurate answer;
2. "We will realize your dreams." Readers can submit their own dream planning book to the magazine, such as traveling to the Sahara Desert or exploring Somalia. As long as the ideas proposed by the readers are operational, the magazine will provide people and money to help readers realize their dreams.
After these two projects came out, it caused quite a lot of discussion among the industry and readers. Especially the first one, Han Shuo just announced the project, and the micro blog was left with messages by readers, and a variety of questions came to his face. "How long did Han Shuo last for the first time?", "Does Zhao Xin have a boyfriend?", "Xu Xiaolin, when did you marry me?", "Zhang Dahai. Did you put the toad in my schoolbag?", "I am nineteen years old this year, but I haven't yet experienced my first tweet. Do I have any questions?", etc., etc.
After "The Grass on the Yuanshang" announced a new project, Xue Muliang quickly announced the latest major initiative of Dingshi Culture in his personal microblog: starting to hold a literary newcomer selection competition.
This selection competition in Dingshi is similar to the essay contest in "The Great Jianghu", but the specific process and the final results are different. For example, after the winner of the Qianhong essay contest can choose to sign a contract with Qianhong or use this resume to look for other opportunities. However, once the author participates in the Dingshi Culture Selection Competition gets a ranking, he must sign a contract with Dingshi.
This is also the difference between an essay contest and a selection contest.
...
"This issue is close to two million copies, and the impact of the complete version of "Book and Sword" has been basically eliminated, which means that our magazine has almost stabilized, and the sales of about 100,000 copies falls within the normal proportion range."
Liangsi clearly explained the current situation of the magazine in the work group. Although he could not see the expression, he could see his confidence and slight satisfaction from the lines. "One hundred thousand volumes of floating belongs to the normal range." This data calculation method cannot be found in the country. Because the base of the magazine sales is millions, the 100 thousand volumes of floating belongs to the normal range. For other magazines, the 100 thousand volumes of floating belongs to the normal range. For other magazines, the 100 thousand volumes of floating belongs to the total monthly sales of magazines they have always dreamed of.
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Liu Jingting replied.
"However, our current problem is also very obvious, that is, the lack of a fixed author group, there is no way, this is a common problem for all new magazines."
"The author's affairs are not urgent, so I can only cultivate them slowly. Speaking of this, I remembered a post I saw today, saying that this PK competition may hinder the development of newcomers. I feel that there is some truth. We have just made some time to spare the castles in the air, and I decided to be a little anxious this time."
"'It rains and doesn't hold an umbrella'? I saw it too." Chang Youdao replied.
"In the period of stable magazines, how can we support them by relying on newcomers?" Liangsi said.
"Yes. Also, Lin Tiange mentioned to me yesterday about his idea of opening a new book, and I think it's pretty good."
“Is “The Pharmacist of Qingyu” going to end?”
"No, it will be serialized until November and then published in a book. Lin Tiange said it will look like 150,000 or 60,000 words."
"I think it's about the same. It may be the first time he wrote a long article. There are many places to be restricted. Moreover, it is quite affected by the short article, so the layout capacity cannot be expanded. The ending of 150,000 words is an ideal plan." Liu Jingting analyzed.
"What is the background of the new book?" Liu Jingting asked.
"It's still the background of the Song Dynasty. I'm writing a story about a young man holding a knife who has entered the world. Editor-in-chief's question of pattern capacity you just mentioned. Lin Tiange himself realized that because it was a short story at the beginning, he did not let go. He said that the new book would avoid this problem." Chang Youdao continued.
"The sword-holding boy of the Song Dynasty?"
"Yes, the introduction he gave was that 'The story will tell the story of a young swordsman who experienced the magnificent court and the storm of the rivers and lakes'."
"Yes, there is a lot to do if you just read this introduction. What else do you say, such as the title of the book?"
"I didn't say it, just mentioned it simply."
"Well, you can figure out his ideas, and then let's discuss a complete setting and structure together. Editor-in-chief Liang, let's take this as our next priority topic."
"good."
"Everyone go back and look for more information from the Song Dynasty. They actively speak in the group if they can provide ideas and ideas. Xu Sen, please coordinate and sort them out and leave them to Chang Youdao. Lao Chang, you are responsible for communicating with him in detail."
Liu Jingting arranged the work in an orderly manner, and the editor who was named should immediately "good" or "received".
Even though he has rich experience and much more common sense in magazines than Liu Jingting's Liangsi, he has to express his admiration for Liu Jingting's control. He has a gentle temper and is modest and friendly to others, but once he makes a decision, he basically cannot refute it. It is not that he does not allow it, but that there is no room for refutation.
At least so far, Liu Jingting is qualified as the head of "Jinglu", he has enough confidence and full confidence.
Thinking of this, Liangsi felt a little uneasy. This uneasiness spread like a virus in his heart, making him feel guilty. On the one hand, he has gradually become obsessed with being the executive editor of a super best-selling magazine. The feeling that any move can be called in the publishing world is a pleasure that cannot be experienced at all in "The Wanderer". On the other hand, he also has to perform the most incredible task that may be the most incredible in the publishing world. This task was personally formulated and issued by Zhuge, a woman in the publishing world. The complexity and difficulties in it have increased day by day as they and Liu Jingting became familiar with each other.
Liangsi thought for a long time, but finally decided to make a call.
...
When Liangsi was calling, Chang Youdao was also calling, and he was calling the top student and potential martial arts author Lin Tiange.
"This is probably what the editorial department means. Editor-in-chief Gu Yongsheng personally assigned a task and marked your next book as a priority topic, which means that your new book will become the second series of topics in our magazine."
When Chang Youdao talks to new authors, he can't help but put on some editing airs.
"Second sequence?"
"how?"
"It's okay, I mean, will Gu Da release a new work immediately after the one-person pk this time?"
"I have no way to know this. You don't have to worry about so much, just write a book with peace of mind. Since the magazine decides to cultivate you, the resources will be tilted accordingly, and you don't have to worry about so much."
"Yeah, I heard from Chang Da, that, I don't dare to compete with Gu Da now, will I lose all the way?"
"Now?"
"Um?"
"It's okay, let's do it first. If you have time, you can draw up the outline of the new book, and we will do it for you."
"Okay, thank you Chang Da, by the way, thank you Gu Da, too."
After Chang Youdao hung up the phone, he called Liu Jingting again, talked about Lin Tiange's ambitions and said with a smile: "He is planning to fight you in time."
"Napoleon said that if you don't want to be a marshal, you don't have the idea of defeating anyone?" Liu Jingting said disrespectfully. In fact, he had never thought about writing a work that stood shoulder to shoulder with Jin Guliang before?
"It's a good thing to be motivated, but you have to know yourself, it's not. I'm worried that such an author will not be able to control it?"
"Control? Lao Chang, for the first time I discovered that you actually have this kind of fascist idea. You should know what literature and art are most taboo? It is control."
"I understand these principles, but if you think about it, we are now doing magazines. If we train an author, we will run one, and the loss will be too great."
"Then find a way to keep them, otherwise why do you want to follow him?"
"Understood."
"Also, I thought about it, Lin Tiange's new name is "Song Dao", which is simple and easy to remember."
"Well, and it's suitable for newcomers. By the way, just chatting with him, he asked me when you will be in the next book after the completion of "Snow Mountain" and "Blue Blood Sword". He is worried about hitting your schedule."
"Tell him not to worry. After these two books are over, I will write about Lu Xiaofeng first."
"good."
