I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 39 What is it?
"Clumsy and uncommon: yes, boss."

"EDIT: Hmm.

Edit: Do you have any ideas for the new book, and when will it be released. "

Ji Zhuo temporarily stopped sending out his final testimonials, picked up his phone and replied a message from the editor.

Looking at the reply sent by the editor again, Ji Zhuo paused,
Looking at the two finished novels on the computer screen,
"Clumsy and uncommon: I probably have some ideas, and I'm not sure when to post it."

"Editor: Is the new book still a category of fantasy or fairy tales?
Clumsy and extraordinary: neither.

Editor: Urban, Fantasy, Science Fiction, History, Light Novels?

Clumsy and extraordinary: no. "

Headquarters Building of StartRead.com,

The editor in charge of the pen and ink sent a series of classifications with some traffic,

After seeing Ji Zhuo's reply, he felt a little tired.

Originally, seeing that the author under his hands had finished the old book, he was also watching "Resuscitating Cthulhu", and he was a little sentimental after reading each novel,

And the expectation of the author's next new book.

However, Ji Zhuo's reply at this time seemed to remind Penmo of the author's nature,
Every time a new book is selected, there are always some moths, which are completely different from normal people's ideas.
"Editor: Could it be that you are going to write suspense?"

Already feeling tired, pen and ink replied another message.

"Clumsy and uncommon: neither.

EDIT: This isn't it either, are there other classifications?
Clumsy and extraordinary: Boss, you forgot, there are martial arts, military, games and sports. #beautiful smile. "

Looking at Ji Zhuo's reply,
The pen and ink heart is even more tired. Does he not know that there are still these categories on Shiyue Novels?
But these categories on Shiyue.com are really cool.

To put it bluntly, there are a few high-quality books in a year.

According to different authors, which category is popular, continue to write which one.

Make money, don't shudder,
At the same time, it is also because I am more familiar with the classification originally written, so it is naturally easier to write it.

Unlike the author under his hand, if the writing is classified, it is called no definite number.
One book, one category.

However, the same is true for the previous two books. At the beginning, they chose niche themes and styles against the trend.

But it was still popular.

Maybe the new book this time will do the same.

Isn't it martial arts, military, sports classification,
No matter how small the crowd can compare with the previous fantasy Cthulhu theme?

However, big brother, I know that you have the ability to write about niche subjects, but we don't need to deliberately challenge high difficulty.

Thinking of this, pen and ink cleared up my mood,
Another message,

"Editor: Boss, which of these three categories are you going to write about?"

"Clumsy and uncommon: You are being polite.

Clumsy and extraordinary: neither.

edit:……"

Shiyue Novel Headquarters,

In the editorial department, in front of the computer, the editor in charge looked at the news that Ji Zhuo had returned,

The whole person is completely numb.

what does this mean?
He didn't even dare to think about it.

It felt like every word he said to the author under him stimulated his heart a little bit.

"EDIT: [Image] He Shan's smile
Edit: Boss, please make your words clearer, why can't I understand? "

in the study,
Ji Zhuo sat in front of the desk, looked at the computer with the screen still on, and read the two novels that had been finished.

Then he lowered his head and looked at the message on the phone that the editor-in-chief would come back again.

There was a smile on his face, editor-in-chief, let's stimulate.

Heh, the first two books didn't rush, and the responsible editor has to take the blame!

"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, you understand what I mean, Shiyue.com also has a category.

edit:……

EDIT: Are you serious?
Clumsy and uncommon: Yes, boss, I am going to write a new realistic theme. "

After Ji Zhuo sent this message, the editor didn't reply for a long time.

Ji Zhuo looked at it, and couldn't help smiling. Just based on the editor's reaction, he felt that he had selected the right category for the new book.

And on the other side,
In the headquarter building of Startyue.com, in the editorial department,
Seeing the news of Ji Zhuo's return, the editor's pen and ink is indeed a bit 'distorted'.

Even before he believed that Ji Zhuo had the ability to turn decay into magic and write about niche subjects,

But it's still a bit unacceptable at the moment.

He would rather Ji Zhuo write for the sports channel, maybe he could write a supernatural football.

But the reality channel, even if Ji Zhuo can write brilliantly, it's useless.

Although online novels are also novels, online novels have fixed attributes that distinguish them from traditional novels.

He exists as a kind of entertainment, and he only comes to read online novels for entertainment.

You can either write coolly, or write interestingly, and if you really can't write, you can write movingly.

You can have a little deep meaning, but more of it is for the plot. It is not a literary work, it is a pastime reading.

But the reality channel's book, he violates the inherent attributes of this kind of online novel.

It is more traditional novel, although you put it on the Internet, it is called an online novel,

But who reads online novels? For those who want to read traditional novels, they might as well buy a classic to read. Isn’t it better written and more literary than the novels on your reality channel?
thinking,

Pen and ink feel tired,
Although I had expected that the author under my hand would always come up with some tricks.

But this time it was too outrageous, off the mark.

"Editor: Are you sure you want to write a new realistic theme?

Edit: Let me tell you some data.For other categories, at least a few high-quality novels can be published a year.

Edit: There are only ten high-quality novels in the reality category so far, and six of them were moved from other channels after the completion of the novel.Are you sure you want to write again?

Clumsy and uncommon: Sure. "

Didn't Ji Zhuo choose this channel because he watched the reality channel enough?

Seeing the editor say this, he couldn't help showing some smiles on his face.

And the editor seems to be a little bit reconciled,

I am not reconciled to the good seed under my hands going astray, wasting time, and frustrated the spirit of writing a book.

"Editor: Boss, we have collaborated on several books, and several of your books were published by me. Let me tell you something very realistic.

Editor: If your new book covers realistic subjects, if you really write realistic subjects, it will probably affect your income.

Editor: I was still chatting with the editor-in-chief before, if you can maintain the grades of this book for your next book, you can basically sign a great god contract.

Edit: Now if you start a book with realistic themes, you will rush halfway, which will greatly affect your subsequent development. "

It can be said that the editor of the pen and ink is persuaded with earnestness,

I really don't want Ji Zhuo to go and roll in the mud pit on the reality channel.

Even if Ji Zhuo retreated in spite of the difficulties, it would be several months of delay.

And no matter how he looked at it, the author under him didn't seem like a person who would retreat in spite of difficulties.

Here

In the study, sitting on the chair, looking down at the phone,
Ji Zhuo was a little moved by the editor's persuasive persuasion.

After all, as an editor, being able to persuade him over and over again is not bad.

but.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, I'm not short of money.

Clumsy and extraordinary: I mainly want to write something meaningful this time.

edit:……"

The editor in charge looked at Ji Zhuo's answer,

Totally numb.

The author under my hand has said so,

What else can he say,
People don't care whether they make money or not, what else can they say.

Here

Looking at the editor seems to be completely speechless,
The back ellipsis,
There was another smile on Ji Zhuo's face.

He really didn't lie to the editor with this sentence,

The 200 million earned by "Resuscitating Cthulhu" this time,
With Waterloo, which both sides wanted to rush to the street before,
Let Ji Zhuo change his mind a little bit,

That is not to go to the street with the purpose of plucking the wool of the system,

Instead, use the system's incentive money as a guarantee,
In this way, when the book becomes popular, he can earn the royalties of the book,
If the book is fluttered, he can earn the incentive money from the system,

In this way, although the essence of the matter has not changed,

But thinking about it seems much better,
Because left and right are earned.

And since he is making money left and right, he can boldly try various bold ideas,
Anything can be attempted in fiction.

When writing novels, you don’t have to worry about hitting the street, or not making money.

How to write how to write, think about it, there is a kind of carefree feeling.

I will write about subjects that others dare not write about.
I will write the characters that others dare not write to death.

The master dared not touch the subject matter, as long as it is interesting, he dares to add it to the novel,

Without having to take into account the reaction of the market.

Anyway, there is a system behind it.

Of course, if there is a great opportunity to directly fight for the incentive money from the system, he will try his best to fight for it.

After all, the system's incentive money now seems to be more than the manuscript fee he earns for writing novels.

Maybe it should be called,
When I write novels, I never care about whether I am fluttering or not.

And a person initially wanted to write a novel,
More often than not, it's not about trying to be an eagle.

But want to be Lu Xun.

This is also,
The reason why Ji Zhuo chooses realistic subjects to write this time is,

Of course, it would be even better to get a few months of incentive money from the system if you just hit the street by the way.

Certainly not because reality classification is easy to flutter,
I just chose the category of reality,
Well, definitely not!

think so,
Much more comfortable, Ji Zhuo nodded in satisfaction,

Looking at the chat records on the phone and edited,
Ji Zhuo sent a few more messages to the editor.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, I'm not really short of money. The money is enough for the time being, so I still want to write something meaningful.

Clumsy but uncommon: I don't want to keep repeating what I have already written. Those who engage in writing should always pursue something. "

There is a lot of sincerity in the words.

It’s just that I feel a little tired after watching it.

significance?

Internet novels need a ball meaning, interesting is not bad.

Feeling helpless, he tapped the keyboard a few times and replied a message.

"Editor: Since you insist, that's fine. What are you going to write, do you have any ideas?
Clumsy and uncommon: Thank you, boss.I probably have some ideas, but I haven't written yet.

Edit: Well, when you finish writing it, send it to me for a look.

Edit: By the way, if you vote for the reality channel, the length is not very long, is it?

Clumsy but uncommon: Not very long, maybe hundreds of thousands of words or even less. "

It's not that Ji Zhuo doesn't want to procrastinate, earn more incentive money then,
But for a book of this kind, it is impossible for it to be too long.

And when such a book is finished, his system's writer level should be raised again,
Procrastination outweighs the gain.

the other side,
Looking at Ji Zhuo's news, Bimo managed to get some comfort.

If there are only hundreds of thousands of words, according to the coding speed of the author under my hand, the book should be finished in two or three months.
That's barely acceptable.

"Editor: OK. After finishing this book, you should stop writing realistic subjects.

EDIT: Didn't you just say it again, won't you keep repeating it?

Clumsy and uncommon: Probably not. "

Ji Zhuo looked at the editor's message,
Some helpless.

Good guy, the editor also started blocking his words.

But he hasn't started writing the next book yet, and he still doesn't know what he will write in the next book, so let's talk about it when the time comes.

"Editor: I wrote it, you are busy. By the way, next week you will have a final push for this "Resuscitating Cthulhu"."

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Thank you, boss."

Tired of pen and ink, I closed the chat interface with Ji Zhuo after leaving a word.

And here,
Ji Zhuo finally replied a message to the editor,

Looking at the computer screen again, and then looking out of the study window,
Pause, then turn back,
I started to post the closing remarks that I didn't finish before.

"End of speech."

"This book is finished, and the new book is yet to be decided.

use up. "

Ji Zhuo just sent two short sentences as his concluding speech.

Immediately afterwards, I switched back to the author's background home page,
I have already seen the chapter reviews of some readers.

"...The end of Sahua! This is the best novel I have read in the past year. I look forward to the author's new work."

"...Dog author, if you don't want to finish your testimonials, you don't have to deliberately write half a sentence and post a single chapter to perfuse us."

"...I've finished reading this book! The author's novels are really better than the last, and each novel is better than the last novel. I look forward to the new book of the boss!"

"... When will the boss's new book be released? I won't have to wait another ten days and a half months... Hey, I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon. I'm already waiting for the author's new book."

"...It's opening, it's opening, guess what kind of new book the dog author is writing."

"...According to the temperament of the dog author, first rule out Xianxia and Fantasia."

"... No. No. 30 minutes of No. [-] minutes of author's novel, I miss you! Tickets are all ready, when will author of dog release a new book!"

I don't know why, but his title of "dog author" is wildly circulated in the reader circle,
I'm a dog?
What a slander!

Looking at the comments of some Sand Sculpture readers,

Ji Zhuo couldn't help smiling at first,
Immediately afterwards, I looked at the comments of those concerned about the new book,

Ah,
That’s what I’m talking about right now, when my new book on realistic subjects comes out,

Let me see some of you.

Although it is not simply the only choice to take the fleece of the street-sweeping system,
But Ji Zhuo still felt stable!

What's so unstable about opening a new book with realistic themes!

Just rely on the responsibility to compose the reaction,
Based on these sand sculpture readers guessed for a long time, no one dared to guess the classification of reality,

Ji Zhuo felt stable!
So stable!
……

The same is the magic city.

After finishing the 'battle' with this author,
Pen and ink shook his head, the time is up, and he is ready to leave work.

Next to him, the editor-in-chief of the editorial team was still facing the computer screen, browsing some new books and handling some work.
Because of the movement of pen and ink getting up, he raised his head and looked at his eyes, then paused, and asked a casual question,
"...I read it just now. Is the book "Resuscitating Cthulhu" finished? Does the author 'Epoch Coincidence' have ideas for a new book?"

"...I was talking to him just now, I just asked him, and he said he has an idea."

The tone of the pen and ink reveals helplessness and exhaustion,
I feel that there is such an author under my hand. Although the novel is well written, it may make him short-lived as an editor.

"Oh? What subject is he going to write about in his new book?"

I didn't care about it at first, but when I heard the answer from the pen and ink, the editor-in-chief couldn't help but care about it again.
"He said he was going to write about realistic themes. I really... persuaded him, but this author has never played his cards according to the routine. He can always make some unexpected themes."

"...I'm really not persuaded..."

It is even more helpless to mention this matter with pen and ink.

The editor-in-chief listened, but there was no helpless reaction from pen and ink,
On the contrary, Shang bowed his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head, seeing the helpless appearance of pen and ink, he couldn't help smiling,
"Wait for his new book to come out first, and let's see it before we talk about it."

Restraining his smile again, the editor-in-chief nodded and said.

Pen and ink could only helplessly nod to take the lead, and was about to leave work.

"That's right. The author's new book should not be too long with realistic subjects."

"He said it's not long, only a few hundred thousand words. If he can follow the previous update speed, he should be able to finish writing in a few months."

"...Well... Recently, our website is preparing to open a new category. If it is suitable, please mark his new book."

"...New category?"

"...Well. It's called a theater. It mainly collects some novelettes and short stories."
