I became popular on the stage

Chapter 52 Can it work?

Zhu Xian?

Chen Yu frowned subconsciously. He had seen too many similar names.

"Slaying the Gods", "The Extinction of Ten Thousand Buddhas", "The God of Creation", "Eternal Starry Sky"... etc., made him lose his sense of expectation for similar names.

This evening, he intended to teach newcomers how to write a title that would attract readers.

For example: "When I woke up, I found that Sanqing became my apprentice", "Reborn in the wild, I turned into a dog", and such names can attract people to come in and read.

"Look first."

As the editor-in-chief, of course, I will not be swayed by a name.

The story of the book is the most important.

No story, no good title.

The story is wonderful, no matter how rubbish the title is.

Soon, he downloaded the manuscript and began to watch it carefully.

But just after opening the word document, he was stunned again: "Prologue?"

What catches the eye is not Chapter 1, but the prologue.

The way of writing the prologue has almost been out of fashion for many years.Chen Yu felt that he had returned to the time when online novels were just emerging.At that time, many books were popular with prologues to introduce simple story backgrounds.

but now!
The society is impetuous, and people's hearts are not old.

To write a novel in this era, what you need is an explosive opening and three golden chapters.

The opening chapter is not attractive, just Game over.

Now readers of online novels are all three-point enthusiastic. If your Chapter 1 doesn't attract me, I will just abandon the book.Anyway, there are tens of thousands of online novels, why bother with one book?

Unless the word-of-mouth rises later, everyone will watch patiently.

But how many people can survive word of mouth?
"It's probably an elderly person who sees the popularity of online novels today, so he also wants to get a wave of bonuses. It's a pity that although the threshold for online novels is low, the bonuses are not so easy to get."

Chen Yu looked down while thinking.

Step into the text:

"Time: Unknown, it should be very, very long ago.

Location: Shenzhou Haotu.

The world is not benevolent, and everything is a dog! "

When he saw the third sentence, Chen Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly. As the editor-in-chief of Xianxia Classification, his knowledge reserve is not comparable to that of ordinary netizens, so he knows the source of this sentence, but here he saw "Heaven and earth are not benevolent" Taking everything as a straw dog", still surprised him a little.

Keep looking down.

"There are no gods in this world, but since ancient times, human beings have seen all kinds of strange things in the world around them, such as lightning, thunder, violent storms, and natural and man-made disasters. It can resist it. So I thought that above the nine heavens, there are all kinds of gods, and under the nine secluded worlds, it is also the place where ghosts return, the palace of Yama."

"..."

"In today's world, the righteous way is prosperous, and the evil spirits retreat."

"..."

"This story begins with the 'Albatron Gate'."

Chen Yu read a prologue for a long time.

After reading it, his expression became extremely serious, wondering what he was thinking about.After a few minutes, I suddenly sat up straight and read it again.

"This writing...is really good."

Chen Yu sighed with emotion. .

Online novels have relatively low requirements for writing style. As long as the story is wonderful, even if the writing style is a mess, people will love it.But if the writing is good, it will definitely be the icing on the cake and attract a group of diehard fans.

"With such a writing style, if the follow-up storyline is okay, then maybe it can become a good fairy tale book."

Chen Yu was a little excited because he was really eager for good fairy tale novels.

After the prologue.

The story finally unfolded.

Generally speaking, it only takes four to five minutes for Chen Yu to review a manuscript, or it only takes half a minute for some manuscripts to decide whether to sign or not.

However, this "Zhu Xian", due to the rare writing style, made Chen Yu's review process much slower.

Seeing that the editor-in-chief Chen Yu didn't speak for a long time.

Ruofeng came over: "Brother Yu, what are you doing?"

Chen Yudao: "I just received a new manuscript and am reviewing it."

After finishing speaking, he continued to sink into reading and stopped talking.

After about twenty minutes, Ruofeng was surprised again and said, "Brother Yu, are you still reviewing manuscripts?"

"Ah."

Chen Yu nodded.

Ruofeng said in surprise: "Brother Yu, how many manuscripts have you received today? Didn't you just say that you have reviewed eight submissions? Could it be that you have received more than twenty manuscripts today?"

Hear Ruofeng's words.

The other editors all raised their heads.

"Brother Yu, are there so many submissions today?"

"As expected of the editor-in-chief."

"I don't even have one."

"If we don't divide us a bit, we will panic."

"With so many submissions, it seems that we Xianxia are making progress."

"..."

Chen Yu didn't respond, and after a few more minutes, he raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows: "You are all wrong, I only reviewed one manuscript just now."

When he said this, his mood was still a little shaken.

In this "Zhu Xian" manuscript, in addition to the prologue, there are four chapters of the main text, with a word count of almost [-].Usually, he only reads the first [-] words when reviewing manuscripts.But today he read all the [-] words, and it took him nearly half an hour.

In other words, I was not reviewing the manuscript for just half an hour, but I sank into the reading unconsciously.

I haven't felt this way in a long time...

He secretly thought.

And the other editors became shocked after hearing his words.

Ruofeng said in shock: "What? You have only reviewed one manuscript for such a long time?"

She was stunned, she knew what the editor-in-chief was capable of.What kind of manuscript is worth half an hour for him to review?
Chen Yu nodded: "Yes."

Surprise was on everyone's face.

Chen Yu didn't explain, but said: "I posted this manuscript to the group, you all have a look."

As he spoke, he uploaded the first [-] characters of "Zhu Xian" to the group sharing.

The office became silent.

The night was quiet.

It wasn't until almost half an hour later that Chen Yu asked, "Have you finished watching?"

"Ah."

"finish watching."

Several editors raised their heads, each with complicated expressions.

Chen Yu said, "Tell me about your feelings."

Ruofeng glanced at the others, and then said, "It's been a long time since I've read such an authentic fairy tale novel."

Xiyang nodded: "The writing is very good, this is my first impression. It's just that the plot does not have the golden three chapters that are popular in today's online literature. But because of the excellent writing, the story is told, so it is not tiring to read at all. I finished reading more than [-] characters before I knew it."

Another editor said: "Ruofeng is right. The flavor of Xianxia is very strong, regardless of whether it is good or bad, but it is a true typical Xianxia novel. However, the opening climax is popular in Internet articles nowadays. The opening of "Zhu Xian" I don't know if it will work or not?"

Listened to the speeches of the people.

Chen Yu smiled slightly: "A good book is regardless of age."

After a pause, he continued: "You guys are all senior editors, and this "Zhu Xian" can attract you to read for so long, which shows a fact: that is, even if this book doesn't have three golden chapters, the quality of the beginning is still high." It’s also quite good. If the quality is stabilized in the later stage, it will be a high-quality product.”

Nowadays, it is too difficult for Xianxia to publish a high-quality book.

Ruofeng smiled: "The quality of the first few chapters is really good, but I was a little overly surprised just now."

"What surprise?"

Chen Yu asked with a smile.

Ruofeng said: "Just now, I saw that Brother Yu took so long to review a manuscript, and thought you found a fairy tale book with the potential to be a hit, but now it seems that I guessed wrong. "

"Wan order?"

Chen Yu smiled wryly and shook his head: "Xianxia wants to sell a million-order blockbuster, how easy is it?"

Classification of Xianxia, ​​but it has been three years since there was a book with ten thousand orders.

In the past three years, there are [-] orders for fantasy and urban books.

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone hurry home."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he replied to the owner of the manuscript via email: "You can sign it."

　New Year's Eve~~~ Brothers and sisters, happy New Year's Eve!
