Chapter 449: Conversation

Read the domain name of this site online, please visit

Gu Yongsheng came to the first Chinese website with his new work "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". After the news was released, there was naturally a big storm, and it was not only the Internet writer circle.

The specific arguments are different. Some people think that Liu Jingting has seen the commercial potential of online literature and is preparing to enter the game circle and further expand his business territory. This can be seen from the online novel he wrote in his vest;

Some people believe that this is Liu Jingting's second attempt to transform his writing. With the traditional martial arts novels developed and led by him, he has inevitably gone to the end, and towards a fantasy with a grander world view and a more magnificent imagination, the transformation of fantasy novels is the general trend. As a semi-commercial author, Liu Jingting cannot not recognize this.

In addition, everyone has different opinions on the pros and cons of Gu Yongsheng's entry. Supporters believe that Gu Yongsheng's entry into the online literature circle will bring greater attention and exposure to the entire industry and will indirectly increase the status of online literature practitioners. In the future, someone will complain about the title of "online writer", so it can be said that "Ku Yongsheng is also an online writer."

Moreover, Gu Yongsheng will bring a considerable number of potential readers to the online literature circle.

Opponents believe that with the style of ancient medieval life, they have never fallen into meaningless chess pieces. The various glorious deeds of the "Ancient God" back then have been circulating in the market. Now he is willing to spend so much energy on online novel serialization, and his plan is not small. His entry may break the current stable development pattern of online literature.

If you take a step back, Gu Yongsheng's entry into the online literature circle will definitely attract a lot of attention in one fell swoop. Whether it is a website, readers or media forum, important resources will definitely be the first.

No comments on a popular event can be unified, and this can almost become a theory.

At this time, the first thing Dai Yaowen had to do was not to hold a celebration banquet. He did not declare war on the independent banner in the media, but to call Liu Jingting.

"Mr. Dai, you must understand that this is not a long-term solution for the development of a website. If a person cannot withstand a website, even if he can resist it, it is only temporary, and it will not cure the root cause."

Liu Jingting talked frankly.

"That's true, so I want to learn from you, Mr. Liu."

"The three great gods last time, the eight great gods this time, combined these two things show one thing. It is urgent to launch a systematic plan to cultivate new people. If you want the website and even the entire industry to develop sustainablely, the exploration and cultivation of potential new people is a key point that cannot be avoided."

"Mr. Liu means..."

"The most common one is of course the newcomer's grand prize, which attracts authors to contribute with generous benefits and bonuses."

"Well, I have already assigned a task to Penzhu."

"Then there is the training class setting, regular training classes for newcomers are held, and the experience and rules of online literature that have been completed are taught to them so that they will not go wrong in their future creation."

"Well, this is being done."

"This is actually very important. If you invest the material resources, then you can ensure that you are the best and make sure that the authors in the class really learn something. Instead of making it into a form."

"Yes, this needs to be paid attention to. I will communicate this matter with several department heads later."

"The last point. I summarized it from my experience in doing magazines, which is to cultivate authors in a targeted manner. For example, our editors will tailor the topics for the signed authors of our magazines. I think this process can be learned from online novels."

Dai Yaowen paused for a moment and said, "This operation is not difficult. After all, there are too many online writers, and many authors are only willing to write their own things and are not bound by them."

"Yes. So this topic selection process is not suitable for general promotion, but is targeted. For example, a potential author has completed his work recently and is preparing a new book. The new book does not have a clear idea. At this time, the editor can make corresponding topics based on the current market trend or based on a popular Red Book, and hand over the ideas and outline to the author."

"This idea works, I remember."

"In fact, some of the best-selling works in Japan are taking the industrial manufacturing route. This method naturally has advantages and disadvantages for literature, but for commercial novels, there are many things worth learning from."

"Does it just treat novelists as craftsmen and novels as products?"

"It should not be regarded as, but in fact, such as Xue Muliang's red book and successful model replication, there are also places to learn. Of course, this approach has two important principles. First, you must grasp a degree. Too much is worse than too much. After all, the market's ability to accept is limited. If a model is repeated, readers will definitely collapse;

Another one is the discovery of new models, which can be learned from the author or summarized by yourself.”

The conversation between Dai Yaowen and Liu Jingting lasted for nearly an hour. From the development of online literature to possible cooperation between the two parties in the future, Liu Jingting's view is relatively clear. The serialization of "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is not what everyone talks about in commercial layout or the springboard for entering game animation, but purely a rescue.

"After this novel, I can't look forward to the next one."

Liu Jingting told Dai Yaowen frankly that Dai Yaowen could naturally understand that this is an industry with huge potential, but Liu Jingting's personal energy is limited after all. Moreover, aside from the novels of commercial entertainment such as martial arts and reasoning, he still shoulders the high expectations of traditional writers.

After this conversation with Dai Yaowen, "The Tang Dynasty" officially entered the new book serial period, and the traffic of the first Chinese website also doubled as expected.

On Saturday, Liu Jingting went to Director Kang's house alone. I wonder if he was deliberately leaving enough space for the master and apprentice. Professor Wen still went to the college office today.

Liu Jingting, who was still nervous on the road, suddenly became much calmer after entering the house. When changing shoes in the entrance hall, he was completely calm.

"When I participated in the composition competition, I dared to take a walk around the school with Director Kang, let alone now?"

After arriving at the living room, Director Kang first asked him to sit down and poured a glass of water.

In the past, Director Kang always "drinks water and eats by himself". Today, he took the initiative to pour water for himself, which was a bit abnormal.

Liu Jingting sat on the sofa, waiting quietly.

"I asked you to come today. I want to talk to you about your novels." Director Kang said casually, his eyes looking at Liu Jingting were different from before.

Liu Jingting nodded: "Director, you said."

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

"Well? Why did the teacher suddenly want to talk about this novel?"

"It's a coincidence that I passed by a certain class once. And it was in the mathematics department and heard a professor in the classroom reciting the chapters of this novel to students. I was very curious at the time and wondered why a math professor would be so fascinated by a martial arts novel."

Liu Jingting also laughed, didn’t he know that “martial arts are fairy tales for adults” came from the mouth of the great mathematician Hua Luogeng?

"I spent about a week reading this novel and roughly understood the professor's mental state, a very wonderful story."

Liu Jingting said modestly: "Thank you, Director."

Director Kang waved his hand and corrected: "It's better to let the teacher listen."

"Thank you, teacher."

Director Kang nodded and said, "What I want to talk about most today is the view of love in this novel."

Liu Jingting was even more surprised and looked at Director Kang in confusion.

"Zhang Wuji is a passive person in love. This personality has not changed even at the end, right?"

Liu Jingting nodded.

"If Zhou Zhiruo was willing to compromise and promised to wait for Zhang Wuji to get married, it might be another ending. Zhang Wuji not only lacks political literacy, but also has a mess of emotions."

"He is an ordinary person."

"Yes," Director Kang pointed his finger in the void and said, "Zhang Wuji is an ordinary person, an ordinary person who can be seen everywhere."

Liu Jingting nodded.

"So, what about you, Jingting?" Director Kang's conversation suddenly changed.

"I?"

"Yes. Teacher, I want to ask Jingting today, what about you, are you like Zhang Wuji or Yang Guo? Or Guo Jing?"

"I..." Liu Jingting did not expect the principal to ask this question anyway, and hesitated for a while and said, "I admire Guo Jing and Huang Rong more."

Director Kang smiled and said, "If you don't say humbly, Guo Jing and Huang Rong are more like your teacher's wife and me."

“That’s true.”

"But Jingting, you are transferring the question. What I just asked you is, which one do you think you are, don't talk about the difference between virtual and reality, there must be similarities in essence, you can tell me."

Liu Jingting pondered for a long time. In the end, he accidentally discovered that he was an ordinary person in terms of emotions, at least after coming to this planet.

"I think I support Zhang Wuji too." Liu Jingting said.

"I think so, too." Director Kang said, staring at Liu Jingting's eyes.

"But, what's slightly different between Zhang Wuji and I is that I am now firm."

Director Kang waved his hand and said nothing, and suddenly leaned on the backrest of the sofa and remained silent.

Liu Jingting was confused, but he stopped talking.

This silent atmosphere lasted for nearly two minutes before Director Kang spoke again: "Ling Yue... likes you."

Liu Jingting's expression changed slightly, and he said "ah".

"I know you young people like to play the different words "like" and "love". I don't know if it means the same thing as love. If not, then I will correct it again and let Yue love you."

Speaking of this, Director Kang smiled in an unknown meaning and continued, "I also thought you would come together for a while, because I have met so many excellent young people, but I still feel that no one is worthy of Ling Yue, and you are just barely making do with it."

Liu Jingting was shocked and speechless.

"Tell you this is not about making you change any decision, but I think you need to know this, if you really don't know it."

Liu Jingting shook his head in dismay.

"I returned home early that morning with red eyes and swollen eyes. Your teacher's wife and I were both surprised. I haven't seen her cry at night for many years. We guessed for a long time, and thought of all kinds of possibilities. In the end, we agreed that it was probably quarrel with you, but we didn't ask the reason. Parents should stop their children's intervention.

It was not until lunch that she said it herself, she said you were going to marry Yang Lilu."

Liu Jingting didn't know what to say, so he had to say nothing.

"You are getting married, so she is very sad and sad because she is in love with you at some point, do you understand?"

Liu Jingting shook his head, then nodded again, like a puppet.

"So Jingting, I want to give you a task. I hope you can use the least trace and least voice-conscious method to get her out of this situation and make her come back happily sooner or later?"

Liu Jingting: “…”

"Um?"

"Can."

"Thank you, teacher."

Liu Jingting shook his head, his thinking gradually recovered, and began to sort out the logical relationship between the previous and subsequent events. (To be continued)
