Chapter Fourteen The King of Eunuchs
All work has a priority, and the current French fries are facing such a problem.
With one brother and one sister both retiring, now he has almost no famous writers who can take action except for the big octopus who wrote "Fighting Beasts in the Mountains and Seas". Coupled with the lack of backbone, he is not a Shui Wen Gou.
, it’s just a dog-breaking thing... As a result, his situation in the editorial department has become increasingly embarrassing...
So, what he urgently needs to do at this time is to sort out his work... The first thing is how to bring Dojiu under his banner and make up for the lack of strength in the backbone and even the head.
"Hmm..." But when he saw the labels behind the liquor, the French fries suddenly became enlarged.
Maojiu is very good, and what he writes is indeed very popular in the market. What's more, he has a lot of die-hard fans. This determines that once he opens a new book, as long as the quality is not very low-key,
, let’s not say whether it can be ranked at the top of the platform, but it should be no problem to be at the top.
It's just... Fries' eyes froze, and he looked at another editor's evaluation of turbid wine, the eunuch king!
In the world of online literature, this is not a glamorous name. Well, of course, it is the same in reality.
When you get excited about reading a book, and suddenly... it's gone, I believe anyone will feel like they're about to explode.
Of course, some of them may have had no choice but to write books because of poor grades, but Zhuojiu is different...except for the first few books he wrote, almost every subsequent one has set off a certain trend in the market, and has
It's not because of bad grades.
Even...many editors commented that he will be the next person to become a god.
But just when "This Cook is a Little Greasy" was about to reach its climax, he... actually wrote the male protagonist to death! He was still the kind who was hit by a car when he went out...
This time, the reason he gave was that his hand was broken.
But looking back, his reasons for cutting up the books can be said to be varied: some said that he was actually a national scientific researcher, and he was a eunuch for better research work; others said that he just wanted to rest for a few days or go out to collect materials, and then...
There is no more; the most exaggerated one is to simply say that I don’t want to write anymore, which is simple and crude.
This kind of situation did not occur often in the early stages of his book-writing career, which is why he was able to accumulate a considerable number of fans, but no matter how devout his fans are, they cannot withstand his endless consumption... Therefore, although
The quality of each of his books is good, but I can see... that there are fewer and fewer die-hard fans.
Attached is the waiter's evaluation of Zhuojiu: If his next book can guarantee that he will not be a prisoner, there should be a high probability that he will become a god within two books. If the quality of his new book is good enough, it will not be possible to become a god with one book.
impossible!
Fries hit his head hard: I have a headache!
It has to be said that the waiter is undoubtedly a very reliable editor. After giving him the contact number of Fries and Dojiu, he also handed him a note with quotes from various platforms for Dojiu's new book.
"Terminus Chinese website: No guarantee, share can be negotiated."
"Zongheng Chinese Network: Guaranteed bottom line is ten yuan per thousand words."
"Qiandu Chinese website: Guaranteed bottom line is eight yuan per thousand words."
…
When I looked at the fries, except for Zongheng, who was a little more generous and gave Zhuojiu a guarantee of ten yuan per thousand words, the prices offered by the remaining platforms were basically lower than Zongheng, and many platforms were even unwilling to give a guarantee.
However, the price given by Zongheng... can be regarded as an avalanche of accommodation. This may be due to the fact that he basically cooperated with Zongheng in the past few years. It is said that his previous book "This Cook is a Little Greasy"
"You can also sign up for 15 yuan per thousand words, and the previous book "Urban Master Chef" has even reached 50 yuan per 1,000 words...
The most frightening thing is the collapse of his reputation. Many readers who have followed him for many years, after seeing the speechless ending of the previous book, said: I will be a dog if I continue to pursue Zhuozhu... Even this slogan has started a prairie fire.
It instantly took the internet literary circle by storm, and people left messages under every book about The Great Eunuch. If you follow xx again, I will be a dog!
And the one who started the figurines was Zhuojiu.
"It looks like... this turbid wine is a bit tasteless!" Fries touched his chin speechlessly, "It's tasteless and it's a pity to throw it away. What should I do?"
After thinking about French fries for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason. In the end, he decided to shelve the issue for now. Anyway, he already had a contact number. When the time came, he would ask what Moshijiu's requirements were and then see what he could provide.
With the conditions offered, it’s not too late to make a decision... This turbid wine can be considered an old fried dough stick, maybe it’s for sale right now!
However, this matter still needs to be done as soon as possible. After all, Zongheng Chinese Network has already quoted the price. Maybe if it is delayed, Maojiu will sign there again?
Fries shook his head and turned his attention to the second item on the notebook - new employee training.
Two books were highlighted by him: "The Ferryman of Heavenly Tribulation" by Wan Hongzhuang and "The Map of Controlling Fate" by Yang Lazi.
The pen kept hovering over the two book titles, but Fries frowned, unable to make up his mind.
From an emotional point of view, he seems to be more optimistic about Wan Hongzhuang, because after all, he is the one who has watched step by step until now. This is also his fifth book. Although the results of the previous books are not very good,
At least he understands a certain market and has a certain number of die-hard fans. What if it breaks out this time?
As for Yang Lazi, he is a newcomer after all, and his writing style is indeed good, but the initial pace is still a bit slow after all. If he cannot grasp the reader's interest well, then... the probability of failure is still relatively high.
However, as a conscientious online editor, Fries knows that he cannot be emotional.
What exactly is web writing?
To put it bluntly, the website is the vegetable market, the editor is the buyer, the author is the vegetable grower, and the readers are the customers who buy vegetables. The editor's choice of books will inevitably be based on the readers' preferences. Sometimes for these vegetables, you can
It will be more popular with readers and some suggestions for modifications will also be made.
Of course, it is the author's own business to decide whether to change or not. In the past three years of Fries' career, it is not impossible to encounter people who refuse to change.
His reason told him that Yang Lazi should be the one more popular with the market. It's not that Wan Zhuanghong's writing is not good, it's just that this kind of article that rides on the popularity of Thor may be popular in the market in a short period of time, but
, this hotspot can last for a month, or half a year, but you cannot guarantee that in the next such long period of time, new hotspots will not appear and cover them up.
After all, Wan Zhuanghong is an experienced writer, and he also has the ability to master this kind of subject matter, but... hot spots are fleeting, and he is not sure that this subject matter will remain popular until he completes the book. What's more, in his concept,
There may be countless street writers now, like hunting dogs after seeing a rotting corpse, sharpening their knives and staring at this subject.
Just because you are so popular, you can be one in a hundred, but the competition you face may be one in a million. Can you guarantee that you will always be the best?
At least Fries didn't believe it.
But Yang Lazi is different. At least at first glance, he seems to be a calm author. His writing is delicate and contagious. Perhaps because he is new to online writing, he is a little unsure of the rhythm. Maybe with a little guidance from him, this author will be able to figure it out.
, and get good results?
After thinking about it, Fries put a cross on "The Ferryman" and a tick on "The Map of Controlling Fate".
"Well, after the meeting is over, I'll contact this spicy foreigner and give her some advice. Maybe she will be my next big bargaining chip." Fries nodded secretly.
"And... this panda!" French fries have a headache. Director Lin and the waiter's reactions are not fake. This panda obviously has a background... But, this is a bit difficult. At least you can't fall out with him.
, and cannot be picked up casually like other street dogs.
Maybe he would do something wrong when he was angry, such as writing "My editors...".
"How about you read it again? Anyway, the new book has just been published. Seeing his progress, he will only publish one chapter a day. I will read it later. It is a subtle reminder that I have done my best!" Fries nodded, "That's it.
Let’s do it this way!”
Chapter completed!
