The days when I retired with the queen of music

Chapter 373 The shape of works in the Internet era

"Ugh……"

Zhang Suxin also looked at the father and daughter Xu Changqing and Xu Ranran from the rear window, who were gradually going away. She sighed sadly until the two people disappeared into two small dots following the extending and converging horse route.

She didn't say much, just touched Xianxian's head gently, as if she wanted to express her pity for the little girl standing quietly behind her father on Xianxian.

Xianxian twisted twice and sat down obediently.

"Did you plan to have Xu Changqing write "Fights Break the Sphere"?"

Zhang Suxin said.As smart as she was, she had already guessed that Lu Anzhi went to Baicao Garden not just to see Wang Ping.My husband wrote the outline of "Fights Break the Sphere" at home today, then picked up Xianxian and ran to Baicao Garden in the evening. He must have another purpose.

Moreover, the clerk named Xu Changqing in Baicao Garden, like her husband, was writing novels under the complaining editor under the maple tree, and Zhang Suxin also knew it.After a little thought, how could Zhang Suxin not see the details in this?
Lu Anzhi nodded and said: "But I just have this idea for the time being. Whether this cooperation model can work is still a matter of debate. I have met Xu Changqing, but will he agree to my suggestion and whether he is willing to do so? Writing a novel according to the outline I gave you and being a mindless coding machine are two different things."

Zhang Suxin nodded, expressing understanding.

Writing a novel is a very personal matter. Every writer who picks up a pen first wants to put the story in his mind into writing and write it out for others to read.Who would want to write according to other people's ideas if they were not forced by life?
As a musician who likes to compose lyrics and music by herself, Zhang Suxin understands this feeling very well.

She heard Lu Anzhi continue: "Also, even if Xu Changqing agrees, it's still unclear whether he can finish the novel according to my outline and rhythm. I have to continue to see. If he can't write well, then I will just I can write it myself, but I guess I won’t be able to update it every day, so I can only spend three days fishing and two days drying the net. After all, I have too many novels to write at hand.”

Zhang Suxin smiled softly and said, "Who told you to think so much!" She sat in the back row and looked at her husband, with a little pride when she said this.

No one knows her husband's talents better than her.Others can only read her husband's novels, but she can still hear other stories told by her husband when she lies in bed every day.Each of those stories is more exciting than the last, no worse than the ones my husband types on the keyboard.

After returning home, Zhang Suxin consciously took Xianxian to play. Lu Anzhi sat down in front of the laptop, turned on the computer and logged in to Qiuqiu, and then saw the editor's flashing profile picture.

He clicked on his profile picture and saw that in the chat box that popped up was a question sent by Ku Ku: Boss B, I forgot to ask, if Xu Changqing agrees, what is the minimum guarantee you will give him?

Lu Anzhi thought for a while and typed a reply: It depends on the quality, maybe fifty to one hundred thousand words.At that time, if the novel is on the shelves and the income exceeds the guaranteed limit, the share will be transferred.

The overall framework of the new micro-Chinese website has been determined, including the signing recommendation process and the novel shelving model.Lu Anzhi told Kuku about the model of the leading online writing website in his previous life. The new team formed by Maple Tree and WeChat has built the entire system based on Lu Anzhi's suggestions and decided to limit the signing and recommendation process to one month. about.

However, these are kept confidential for the time being, and everything is under preparation.What will be done at that time depends on the specific situation after the website is launched and the first wave of novels are put on the shelves.

Kuku quickly responded to the message and asked: How do you judge the quality?
Lu Anzhi replied: I have written an outline here. I would like to ask Xu Changqing if he can try writing it first.If there is no problem, just sign a confidentiality contract first, then give him the outline and ask him to write the beginning according to the outline.Let’s look at the beginning to determine the guarantee.

Kuku: Is there an outline here? ! Boss B, you are still so fast!sharp!
Lu Anzhi: It's okay.

He didn't talk nonsense, and then sent the outline to Kuku.He has cooperated with Kuku for a long time and trusts Kuku very much.

At this time, Kuku, who was already having dinner at home, put down his bowls and chopsticks and clicked the mouse to receive the file.Looking at the file reception progress bar that filled up quickly, I still had a little expectation.

"Every time I look at Boss B's finished manuscript, I haven't read his outline for a long time. I need to take a closer look at this!"

She murmured to herself and clicked on the file.

"Bian Xiaogu! Have you finished eating? You eat in the bedroom every day. You are already in your 20s. Do you think there is anyone like you?"

Suddenly my mother's voice sounded outside.

"It's over."

Kuku quickly took the dishes out, put them in the kitchen sink, and hurried back to the bedroom.

Now the mother's voice outside sounded again: "What do you mean by throwing the dishes and chopsticks there? Why do you expect me to wash them for you? You are in your 20s and you squat at home and stare at the computer every day. It's endless. How can I find the target on the computer?"

Kuku said quickly: "I'll wash it in a moment." Then he put on his headphones and played some music.She didn't dare to refute her mother's questions one after another. She knew very well that as long as she refuted the previous sentence, her mother would criticize her a hundred times.So silence is the best response, and headphones are the best shield for you to face your mother.

The file had been opened. She looked at the name in the title and murmured: "Fight to Break the Sphere?" This name was really overbearing and quite touching.

Bian Xiaogu thought so in his heart.The editor, who has not been ravaged by the Internet era in his previous life, still likes this kind of book title, but it feels a bit inconsistent with Boss B's temperament.

Look at Boss B's previous novels, such as "Dragon", "Sacred Legend", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", etc., they are all relatively peaceful.But this book is a bit violent, and it is about to break the sky at the beginning. It is so powerful.

Then she read the content, and her jaw dropped when she saw it.

The outline written by Lu Anzhi is simple, clear and well-organized. Even from the plot introduced in the short text, you can see the step-by-step emotions and character growth.

——This kind of growth is not like the character growth in Boss B’s previous novels. It is the growth of the entire character’s psychology, soul and even strength.The growth in "Fights Break the Sphere" is all focused on the improvement of the character's strength.

Ku Ku immediately realized the benefits of this kind of plot writing. Such a clear and refreshing rhythm can completely ignore other side details, allowing readers to focus on the protagonist’s upgrade and the gains gained when facing the enemy through strength upgrade. It feels better.

Reading a novel like this will definitely be a pleasure, a mindless pleasure!
Therefore, after just reading this part of the outline written by Lu Anzhi, Kuku let out a long breath, still not finished.She felt that she had found the future novel direction of New Micro Chinese Network from this outline.

When she was an editor at an old magazine, she had already realized that readers who read on the Internet platform in the new era are fundamentally different from readers in the past. They are more impetuous and have clearer goals. They just want to have a relaxing and enjoyable read. experience.This feeling became more and more obvious the longer she fucked under the maple tree.

The mentality of readers is changing little by little, and on the New Micro Chinese Network, if this website can be launched, this change will definitely continue, and maybe it will become more drastic.

After all, the serial push model has changed, and readers can see more works at once, and the choices are more direct.

Boss B is really awesome. He must have thought of this when he proposed the new micro-Chinese website to himself. Otherwise, he would not have come up with such an outline.

He took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, typed on Qiuqiu and sent it out: Boss B.Lu Anzhi:?

Kuku: Awesome.

Lu Anzhi: ...

Kuku: The new micro-Chinese website has been registered, and we have initially received a large number of manuscripts. We have also posted other manuscripts from under the maple tree in preparation for testing.Maybe it will be officially launched after the year.

Lu Anzhi: So fast?

Kuku: Yes, the Internet is developing so fast, and now Huoke’s transformation has been so successful, time is catching up with us.If we don't rush, we might fall behind.So it has to be fast.I've been working overtime during this period, and I'm still working when I get home, so I don't have time to catch up on dramas.

Lu Anzhi: It’s hard work.

Kuku: Xu Changqing has already agreed, you can try it first.I will go find him tomorrow to sign a confidentiality contract and go there in person.Once it's signed, let him try to write the beginning for you to review.I have a hunch that if this "Fights Break the Sphere" can be written well, it might become a benchmark for the new micro-Chinese website.

Lu Anzhi: Maybe it’s possible.Maybe by then a lot of novels will appear on Xinwei, starting with an old man, and then the engagement will be annulled.

Kuku couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Lu Anzhifa's words, but when she thought about it, it might actually be possible. In the beginning of Boss B, these elements are so attractive and typical.

So she replied: Haha.

After thinking for a while, she asked Lu Anzhi: Boss B, where would it be appropriate for Xu Changqing to try to write?
Lu Anzhi: Just write to the place where Yao Lao appears, Chapter 9.At this point, the conflicts and expectations are all revealed, and it is clear whether Xu Changqing can write it well.

Kuku: Don’t you need to write about it later?There is no battle in the previous content. Boss B, your novel contains a lot of fighting scenes.

Lu Anzhi: You don’t need to read this part. I’ve seen the fighting scenes written by Xu Changqing. The rhythm is good and the visuals are quite strong, which are his strengths.Now it mainly depends on whether he can write other parts well.

Kuku: OK.

After finishing the conversation with Lu Anzhi, Kuku let out a long breath.She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt like she was suddenly at a turning point of fate. A new future was beckoning to her, and she didn't know if she could do it well.

Be sure to do it well!

She cheered herself up in her mind, then communicated with Xu Changqing, turned off the computer and went to sleep.

The next morning, she rushed to the editorial office early, printed the confidentiality agreement, and went to Baicao Garden to find Xu Changqing.

On this day, Xu Changqing sent Xu Ranran to the kindergarten as usual, and then came to the Baicao Garden.He told Wang Ping in advance that someone from the magazine would come to talk to him about something today, and hoped that Wang Ping would agree to meet the editor in the bookstore. Wang Ping agreed, saying that it was no problem, as long as he didn't Just affect the work.

Naturally, this job will not be affected. The location of Baicao Garden is actually not suitable for opening a bookstore, and there are very few customers in the store. Therefore, coming to an editor to discuss something and sign an agreement will not cause any fluctuation in the store's revenue at all. .

Xu Changqing stood behind the counter in a daze.Lu Anzhi, who wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", actually wanted to collaborate with him in writing a novel? !He never thought why such a lucky thing would happen to him, so he still has some doubts about the authenticity of the matter.

But in his heart, he desperately hoped that this was true, and he was eager to seize this opportunity.

Ran Ran has lost her complete family, and Xu Changqing doesn't want her daughter to have a good life without a complete family.He originally planned to resign, but he didn't expect such a turn of events.

If he can seize this opportunity, he can continue to work part-time here, write novels, and take care of Ran Ran.This is the best result.

If that doesn't work, he will have to continue looking for a new job.That kind of uncertainty is something he cannot grasp now. He doesn't know if he will be able to find a new job as suitable as now when he finds it.With Ranran here, time and income are all issues he needs to consider.

He was nervous and looked at the door from time to time.It was deserted outside the door, and everyone he passed by made him think that he was his editor.

But when a young-looking girl finally came to his door, he didn't dare to recognize her.

"Are you Xu Changqing?"

The young girl came in and asked.

"Uh……"

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Is it me... editing?"

"it's me."

With a bitter grin, he took out two agreements from his bag directly and said, "You take a look at it first, and if there is no problem, sign it. After signing, I will give you an outline. You can see if you can write it. It's just right. I’m here too and can give you some advice.”

Xu Changqing quickly took it, looked at it briefly, and signed his name on the two confidentiality agreements without saying a word.

Kuku kept looking at Xu Changqing. The impression she had on Xu Changqing in front of her was different from the words in the text. She seemed to feel some tension and embarrassment from the person in front of her.

Is it because of Boss B’s reputation?

I'm struggling to figure it out, but I think it might be.

After all, Boss B is so powerful and is an idol for adults, so there is no problem.

After Xu Changqing signed his name, he took back the agreement and said, "I will need Teacher B... to sign it later before I can get you a copy. Do you have a computer here? I brought a USB flash drive. Look at the outline, let’s discuss it, and you try to write it down.”
