After I was reborn, I became a great writer

Chapter 6 The Careful Ximingjue

"People in the world are in a panic, but a few taels of broken silver, but a few taels of broken silver, can solve the world's thousands of sorrows. The 20 yuan really affects the progress of my code."

Chen Tianhong stopped coding while muttering, and looked at the time, it was already 5:4 pm. Today is not as much coded as yesterday, only a little over [-] characters, but it is not bad.

Chen Tianhong thought about it, and planned to upload 1 words today, and keep the rest as manuscripts.He will go to school tomorrow, and he has to work hard to learn knowledge to see if he can get into a good university, and his mother Liu Yanhong is always nagging him.

When uploading the latest chapter of the novel, he saw the private message from Li Man again.

"It's really persistent!"

The more persistent Chen Tianhong was, the more he didn't believe it. How could he offer 20 yuan directly.Even though Chen Tianhong knew the value of the novel "The Best of Us" he wrote, he didn't hear that he talked about it in this way from the beginning.

This is also what Chen Tianhong suffered in his previous life. At that time, when he first entered the industry, he encountered a poacher who received articles. When he came up, he praised Chen Tianhong for a while.At that time, Chen Tianhong was just a novice. He didn't understand anything and foolishly thought that he had met a nobleman. Then he was moved, and then the text he had worked so hard to code was gone.

Just after publishing the chapter, Chen Tianhong heard the sound of the door opening, it was his parents who came back.

"Chen Tianhong, stop fiddling with the computer in the house, hurry up and get something to eat."

As soon as she entered the house, Liu Yanhong shouted loudly, although she was still a little dissatisfied with her son, but this did not hinder her love for him.Liu Yanhong was afraid that Chen Tianhong would not eat well if she was away for the past two days, so she bought a lot of delicious food on the way back, all of which were Chen Tianhong's favorites.

"Thank you mom! I love you guys so much."

When Chen Tianhong saw that his parents were holding big and small bags full of delicious food, his eyes instantly lit up with a green light of hunger.

"Go, turn off the computer before eating, and you are not allowed to play on the computer tonight, and you are not allowed to read novels. After eating, honestly review my homework."

Liu Yanhong put her hands together to block her son, raised her eyebrows and said her condition.

"Fine."

Chen Tianhong reluctantly went back to the room and turned off the computer.As the saying goes, those who know food are heroes, first fill their stomachs before talking about other things.

Dad Chen Zhide asked kindly: "Tianhong, how is your novel writing? Well, don't be discouraged, you still need to study hard and enrich your knowledge, so that you can write good articles by laying a solid foundation. Fiction."

Chen Zhide's first sentence was an inquiry, and he continued without waiting for Chen Tianhong to speak.

"Dad, Mom, my novels are very successful. Just now, someone from a publishing house came to me and said that they would buy out my novels and invest 20 yuan."

Regardless of whether Li Man is a liar or not, Chen Tianhong pretends to be a little bit in front of his parents, which is quite interesting.

Hearing his son's words, Chen Zhide and Liu Yanhong looked at each other, their eyes showing distress.My son has hallucinations from writing novels, 20 yuan. Chen Zhide is a university teacher, and his annual income is not low, but with the year-end bonus, it is only more than 30 yuan.

"Tianhong, eat, eat more, mom won't talk about you, if you like to read novels, you can read them, just pay attention to moderation." Liu Yanhong handed the delicious food to Chen Tianhong.

"Don't play for too long, pay more attention to rest." Dad Chen Zhide said.

"Well, what's the matter, I'm telling the truth!" Chen Tianhong asked with a question mark in his head.

Early on Monday morning, in the office building of Jincheng Literature Network, Liu Yong gently knocked on the editor-in-chief's door.

"Come in." A dull voice came.

Liu Yong straightened his clothes, tried his best to put away his fat stomach, and carefully opened the door and walked in.

It is a spotless office, and the items in the room are arranged in an orderly manner, and even the directions of the items are symmetrical and well-regulated.

Editor-in-chief Ding Senlei is sitting upright, staring at the computer screen meticulously. There is a cup of coffee on his right hand. If someone who is proficient in calculation is here, he will notice that the position of this cup of coffee is exactly 10 centimeters from Ding Senlei's arm. The distance is not bad at all.

"Editor-in-chief."

Liu Yong cried out in a low voice.This office is the place Liu Yong least wants to come to, and every time he comes, he feels extremely depressed.Because Ding Senlei is a patient with severe cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, his requirements are extremely high.

"What's the matter, wait a minute, your collar is wrinkled, let's talk about it after a while."

Ding Senlei raised his head and just glanced at Liu Yong, followed by a frown, as if he had discovered something that disgusted him.

Liu Yong straightened his collar in a hurry, and when he saw Ding Senlei's face turned better, he said, "Editor-in-Chief, I want to recommend a new book called "The Best of Us", which has hit the third place on the new book list. Yes, I think I can sign a 4-star contract."

The level of contracted authors is divided into 1-5 stars, with 5 stars being the highest. Of course, there is also a great sign on it. The contract terms corresponding to each level are different, and the corresponding benefits for the author are also different.

"Why don't you ask the editor in charge to recommend it."

Liu Yong is just a review editor. Generally, novels are signed, and the author's star rating is the responsibility of the responsible editor.

Hearing Ding Senlei's question, Liu Yong looked embarrassed. He looked for it, but the responsible editor in charge of youth literature was busy with Ximingjue, so he didn't have time to listen to him, but left the matter to his assistant.

There are also several small editors configured under the responsible editor.But the small editor has little power, and can only finalize 1-2 stars. If it is more than 3 stars, the editor in charge must nod, and if it is signed by the master, the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief must agree.

"Okay, I see, you go out, I read the book you mentioned, 4 stars is a bit low, you can consider giving it 5 stars, I will tell Luo Dong about this matter, you go to work first. "

Ding Senlei understood Liu Yong's embarrassment, he waved his hand to signal Liu Yong to go out.Ding Senlei doesn't like other people staying in his office for too long, which will destroy the cleanliness of his office.

"5 stars, so high. For a new author, this is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step. There are only more than 5 100-star authors in the entire Jincheng Literature Network." Liu Yong secretly clicked his tongue. It seems that he still underestimated this book. Fiction potential.

After Liu Yong left, Ding Senlei picked up his office phone and said, "Hello, it's Luo Dong. There is a new book called "The Best of Us" on the website. You can chat with the author and try to sign him. , it is best to buy out the copyright of the work.

The star rating of the author is based on the 5-star standard.You can also connect with the publishing house. For the time being, no share will be given to the novel publication. If the author is unwilling, you can discuss it later, and the maximum can be 5%. "

"The best of us, new book? New author?"

In the reception room, editor-in-charge Luo Dong put down his phone a little dullly.The editor-in-chief personally called him to ask him to sign a new author, and also to sign a 5-star author. What made him even more incredible was that the editor-in-chief meant that if he couldn't sign, he could also consider giving a publishing share.This has not been seen in Luo Dong's career in the industry.At this moment, he secretly wondered what the origin of the author who wrote this novel was.

"Editor Luo, what's wrong?"

A feminine voice came, but it was a very handsome boy.

Yes, this boy is very beautiful, with eyes like water mist, lips as small as cherry blossoms, and skin as delicate as porcelain. If it is not for the bulging Adam's apple, anyone will think that this is a girl.

"Sorry, I was distracted. The editor-in-chief called just now, saying that I want to sign a new author, which made people a little surprised, and said that he would sign a contract with 5 stars."

Luo Dong came back to his senses, with an apologetic expression on his face, and casually explained the reason for his distraction.

This handsome boy is not an ordinary person, he is a great author of Jincheng Literature Network, and one of the four pillars of youth literature on the website An Ruo, whose pen name is Xi Mingjue.

Xi Mingjue came to renew the contract today. The Master's contract is signed every three years, and it just expired today.By the way, he was talking about the adaptation of the novel "Dream Chasing Youth", which is about to be made into a TV series.

"5 stars? Editor Luo, if I remember correctly, I gave it 3 stars when we first signed with our website. What is the name of the author and the title of the book?"

When Xi Mingjue heard that a new author website was going to sign a contract with 5 stars, his mood instantly became a little ugly.

He can be regarded as a great god cultivated by Jincheng Literature Network. He has grown from a rookie to a great writer step by step.

Of course, with West MG's current status, a 5-star writer cannot be compared with him. Although there is only one level difference between a 5-star writer and a great god, the gap between this level is like a world of difference.

Hearing Xi Mingjue's tone of voice, Luo Dong knew that he had said something wrong. This great god is well-known in the industry for his narrow-mindedness. I don't know if it's because literati look down on each other.

Anyway, this guy has always been very arrogant, and what this great god cares most about is that when he was a newcomer, the website gave him 3 stars when he signed the author contract.

"The title of the book is The Best of Us."

Since the great god asked, it shouldn't be a big deal to say the title of the book!

At this moment, Luo Dong finally remembered that Liu Yong had told him about this in the morning.However, he was busy entertaining Xi Mingjue to discuss the signing, so he left this matter to the editor below.

""The Best of Us", hehe, that water-word madman! When did our website sign the author's star rating according to the number of words? Could it be that just a cat and a shrimp without a brain can sign a contract by adding water and words to the novel? There is no fair mechanism at all, why is the website like this now, editor Luo, I will reconsider whether to continue to renew the contract with Jincheng."

How did Luo Dong know that Xi Mingjue really knew about this book? It was fine if he didn't mention the title, but Xi Mingjue became even more angry when he said the title of the book.

The reason is that in the past two days in the book reviews, fans have been overwhelmingly attacking him, saying that you look at the author of "The Best of Us", update tens of thousands of words at a time, at least 1 words a day, and then read "Dream Chasing Youth" Only one update per day, only a few thousand words.

It would be fine if it was just a reminder to pay back. Some radical readers even said that "Dream Chasing Youth" was not as good as "The Best of Us".

This made Xi Mingjue, who has always been proud, break his defense directly, and went to see it specially. Of course, he looked at it with colored glasses, and the result was naturally unquestionable. less than.

The fact is the same, Xi Mingjue couldn't read it anymore after reading a few chapters.

What, the plot of the story is so piecemeal and cumbersome, the style of writing is just that way, occasionally there are a few good sentences, but they are much worse than his "Dream Chasing Youth", so can this be compared with him? .

"Don't, Brother Xiang. In this way, I will communicate with the editor-in-chief later. If the novel is really too watery, we will definitely not sign such an author."

When Luo Dong heard that Xi Mingjue did not renew the contract, he became anxious immediately. He regretted that he had just said this casually, and now he really wanted to slap himself.

"Hehe, that's not necessary. What is my identity? Why would I care about a newcomer? Doesn't the website have a contract review process? I'll just make a suggestion. Editor Luo, you should review it carefully. 5-star authors are not casual It can be signed. Alright, let’s talk about the TV adaptation.”

Xi Mingjue was very satisfied with Luo Dong's attitude. In fact, he just wanted to scare Luo Dong. The Jincheng Literature Network gave him a very generous salary, and he would not leave easily.

Luo Dong was smiling all over his face, but he was complaining in his heart, you are so arrogant, a great master competes with a new author, and I have never seen such a narrow-minded person.
