Start earning money as the girl next door

"Sister Liu, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person." Zhao Han sat on the wicker chair in the living room without saying anything, "The main reason is that I learned that Sister Liu is a writer, and I also have some literary hobbies, so I'm going to visit you." Let’s talk.”

"Communicate?" Liu Mengcheng relaxed his vigilance and said with a wry smile, "What kind of writer am I? I submitted a hundred articles and at least 99 were rejected."

"No..." Zhao Han expressed, "According to my observation, this is not Sister Liu's fault, nor the fault of the publishing house. It is... Sister Liu's fault for choosing the wrong market for submission!"

"Oh?" Liu Mengcheng showed a hint of interest, "What do you have in mind?"

"Yes! Sister Liu, do you know how to use a computer? Do you usually surf the Internet?"

"Well... I've probably been to the Internet cafe a few times to check some information."

"So..." Zhao Han stood up exaggeratedly and said, "You have no idea that the world is undergoing earth-shaking changes. The world is being transformed into the shape of the Internet by the Internet. The Internet not only affects news, search, QQ chat or industries such as gaming.

The literary industry is also undergoing disruptive changes!

You find it difficult to publish and your manuscripts are often rejected because you are submitting your manuscripts to the editorial department of traditional paper publishing.This market, let alone sunset, can only be said to be slowly shrinking.

What has impacted and replaced traditional publishing is Internet publishing, especially pure entertainment like writing novels.The future will be dominated by online electronic editions, not traditional publishing! "

"What does that have to do with me?" Liu Mengcheng showed his fear and rejection of unknown things.

"It's relevant!" Zhao Han said loudly, "Are you a writer? Although you have been constantly rejected, look at... your writing, how beautiful and artistic it is, is no worse than the writing style of the famous martial arts masters back then. This It’s not my flattery, it’s the truth!”

Zhao Han even prepared to take out the manuscript paper on the table and read it out, but was stopped by Liu Mengcheng.It was too shameful for her to have the manuscript read out in front of her.

"Excuse me...Actually, my writing is not that good." Liu Mengcheng showed an unconfident expression.

"I'm not here to praise you, but to recruit you!" Zhao Han said, "Paid reading of online literature is already in full swing. Previously, some personal websites have tried paid reading. Now, Chinese Internet traffic has the largest amount The novel website, Pastry Chinese Network, has also begun to experiment with VIP paid reading. It is reported that it charges readers 2 cents per 70 words, and the author can get 1000% of the share. This means that if 10 readers subscribe, one If you write 1400 words a month, you can get a manuscript fee of 2000 yuan. Suppose it is 20? Suppose again, what if you write 20 words? 2000 words a month, 5000 subscriptions, that is 10 yuan a month. If you code more words, With a few more subscriptions, rounded up, the annual income will be [-], sister!"

"I don't understand what you're saying at all?" Liu Mengcheng looked confused, but also seemed a little ready to make a move.

No one understands better than Zhao Han the desire of a writer whose manuscripts are constantly rejected to be accepted!

Even if it is published on the Internet that she has never heard of, it is still full of temptation for her!

"I understand!" Zhao Han said, "I have the ability to write long novels and stories, with all kinds of wild imaginations. It's not the martial arts and romance that are popular today! It's a novel subject that no one has ever thought of before, and it's very suitable for today's world. Online literature market!”

"Then why can't you just write it yourself? Why do you want to involve me?" Liu Mengcheng looked puzzled.

"Listen to me!" Zhao Han looked at Liu Mengcheng.

Liu Mengcheng calmed down and continued to let Zhao Han speak.

"I lack writing skills! I'm afraid elementary school students will laugh at the words I write." Zhao Han stretched out his hand sincerely and said, "That's why I need a partner with good writing skills! Liu Mengcheng, I have been investigating you for a long time! I know. You have been interested in literature since you were a child, and have been submitting manuscripts since middle school, but they have been constantly rejected. You have been rejected more than a thousand times, but you still continue to create and hone your writing skills! I have stories and creativity, but no writing skills! You have writing skills , there is no story or creativity! So... we are a natural partner, join my team! I believe that if we write together, we will be able to complement each other's strengths and become a big hit!"

"You..." Liu Mengcheng felt that there was a lot of information. He had investigated everything about the fact that he had been rejected more than 1000 times?

The neighbor in the next building, Zhao Han, who is he?

Chapter 4 After eating my steamed buns, how dare you not join the gang?

2003 11 Month 12 Day.

In the morning, it was just dawn.

Zhao Han had already gotten up early and queued up to buy steamed buns outside the popular local Sanxian steamed bun shop.I got ten buns and paid five yuan.

Zhao Han excitedly came to the door of Liu Mengcheng's house and knocked on the door.

The sleepy Liu Mengcheng, wearing pajamas, opened the door and said angrily: "Why is it you again?"

"Hey, these are freshly baked buns. I queued up to buy them this morning." Zhao Han stuffed the buns into her hands, "This is a benefit I prepared for the gang, no... team members."

"A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" Liu Mengcheng said, "Who agreed to join your team?"

"You!" Zhao Han stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "I said so much last night, you were very excited and didn't object. You were given a chance to object, but you didn't! That means you agreed!

Miss Liu Mengcheng, no, Comrade Liu Mengcheng!At this moment, think carefully, am I harming you?No, I'm saving you!

If you don’t try online literature, you really have to continue like this, keep writing and submitting manuscripts, and get rejected by publishing houses. Occasionally, some small compositions and essays will be rejected, and you will be given dozens or hundreds of royalties, but in fact, Doesn't help your living expenses.If this continues, what are you going to do in the future?Go out and find a job in a factory, or find someone to marry? "

"You... don't pretend to know me very well, as if you are familiar with me!" Liu Mengcheng was obviously touched by Zhao Han, and his tears flowed down.

Zhao Han was stunned for a moment, his movements stagnated, and he was a little at a loss.

Somehow, he subconsciously pulled her into his warm embrace and patted her back with his hands.

Liu Mengcheng was also stunned.

He...how could it be?

So excessive!Going too far!

The original sadness was suddenly replaced by inexplicable emotions. His face turned red, and then he pushed Zhao Han away hard.

A brief hug, then separated.

Zhao Han felt her embarrassment, so he took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere: "Let's eat steamed buns. After eating, we will discuss the plan of writing online articles."

Liu Mengcheng completely lost his ability to think. It seemed that his rhythm was completely controlled by him, and he ate the buns in a daze.

Wait until the two of them finish ten buns.

Zhao Han once again made a passionate invitation: "Miss Liu Mengcheng, now I solemnly invite you again to form a team with me and write online articles! I will use my strengths in writing stories, and you will use your strengths in writing!

I suffer a little loss... During the time we are working on a book together, I will give you a fixed salary of 800 per month, and any profit or loss will be counted on me.When the first book is published, we will split the second book [-]-[-]!What do you think? "

"I...think about it!" Liu Mengcheng lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Han because of the scene just now.At the same time, she also murmured in her heart that since she was a child, she had never encountered such a shameless Zhao Han.

"Think about it. I have considered it twice. After considering it so carefully and not rejecting it yet, doesn't this mean I have agreed?" Zhao Han happily held Liu Mengcheng's jade hand and said without hesitation, "Also, just now it was After joining the gang, after eating the joining meal, we will be friends from now on..."

"Joining the team?"

"That's right! After eating my buns, how dare you not join the gang?"

"What kind of accomplice? It's like being a rapist!" Liu Mengcheng protested dissatisfiedly.

"Team!" Zhao Han corrected him humbly, "Let's go, the team has been established, come to my house now, go online, and bring health, good health!"

"Wait, let me change my coat before going out! It's cold..."

"Oh?"

After waiting for a few minutes, Liu Mengcheng changed into a purple down jacket again, wearing warm tights and warm leather boots.

Zhao Han gave her a thumbs up and gave her a nine out of [-].

The reason why I don't give it ten points is that it is too immodest, and... there are indeed better-looking beauties in the world, and you can't tell lies with your eyes open.

Afterwards, Zhao Han pulled her downstairs.

Go through the aisle between the two floors, and then go upstairs...

It's also the third floor, but it's two adjacent buildings.

The decoration of Zhao Han's home is relatively simple. There is a computer in the study room and there are some books on the bookshelf, but most of them are textbooks, teaching aids and miscellaneous books from his student days.

A small number of them were books on chicken soup for the soul, management, and workplace. These were bought randomly after work...junk books. Zhao Han now felt that most of them were a waste of time and life.

"Okay... let me turn on the computer now!" Zhao Han turned on the computer, and then dialed up to access the Internet.Although it is broadband, every time you go online now, you still need to use China Telecom's software to dial up.

With dial-up successfully.

Zhao Han opened the browser and searched the pastry Chinese website from the search engine.

"Look, this is the largest online literature website now, Pastry Literature Network." Zhao Han introduced, "Most of the novels here are poorly written and updated slowly. In terms of writing, even your toenails are There are a lot of them that can’t be compared. Updates are slow... Famous martial arts novelists published two books in a month, with one book of 13 to [-] words, and monthly updates of [-] words. Many of these online writers are not even as good as their predecessors back then."

Liu Mengcheng was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking at the pastry Chinese website as if watching the weather. She had never seen such a large number of serialized novels that were unheard of, but they were full of freshness.

Just a bunch of unread book titles triggered her urge to click and read.

"Sure enough...what you said is true!" Liu Mengcheng was guided by Zhao Han and casually read an online article with less than [-] words. He said with unfinished thoughts, "It's very interesting! I never thought that it could be possible." Write stories like this.”

Zhao Han took a casual look and found that it was a fairy tale novel, imitating Shushan's "Dapeng Zongheng".

"Oh... this is a big genre, called cultivation and fairy novels." Zhao Han said, "There was "Shu Mountain" during the Republic of China, but later the fairy tale trend disappeared, and the martial arts trend became popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 50s. . But after the advent of online novels in the 21st century, things were different. There was a novel called "The Misty Journey", which brought the cultivation genre. Later, some people began to dig treasures from Shushan, Journey to the West, Fengshen and other novels. It has reconnected with the fairy tale novels that had once been discontinued. "Piao Miao" has been published in traditional Chinese, and its sales are more popular than those of martial arts. Now, the author of "Piao Miao" almost earns a million a year."

"One million?" Liu Mengcheng took a breath.

"That's because the subject matter is novel!" Zhao Han introduced, "Martial arts and other genres are not easy to sell now, and there are many submissions, so it is naturally not easy for them to be published. Online novels are different. Nowadays, there are all kinds of novel ideas and living water. , "Piaomiao" was even published as a free serialization online, which attracted the attention of publishing houses, and then the publication became a big hit. You became popular online, and the publishing houses that rejected the manuscript in the past would turn around and beg you to sign and publish! Of course! Well, now there is an online electronic version for paid reading, and you can serialize it directly online, and you still get royalties..."

"Then... where to start writing online novels?" Liu Mengcheng started to get into the fun.

"No hurry, no hurry! You read it now!" Zhao Han said, "I have read hundreds of online articles, and I can edit them even if I don't know how to write. You need to be familiar with the latest routines, I mean to understand the new routines, that is, the new ones. The subject matter of the story. It’s not about learning writing style. Most of the authors’ writing style is just like mine, and it’s not worth learning.”

"..." Liu Mengcheng obviously didn't expect that Zhao Han would belittle his writing skills and use himself as the unit of measurement.

Chapter 5 Rebirth is written in the article about rebirth

While Liu Mengcheng was reading novels on the pastry Chinese website on his desktop computer, Zhao Han was also admiring the early manuscripts of his master with great interest.

Before he thought about time travel, she was the guide and his master in his online writing.

Now, the master is in his own hands.

Is it to deceive the master and despise the ancestors, to deceive the master and despise the ancestors, or to deceive the master and despise the ancestors?

It has to be said that Zhao Han even had the idea - 20-year-old Shi Jiang is so cute, he really wants her to be one of his wives...?

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Mengcheng turned around and looked at Zhao Han's humble expression, and couldn't help but be wary.

"Nothing, I just appreciate your writing skills." Zhao Han said, holding up the manuscript paper in his hand.

Liu Mengcheng said doubtfully: "Where is the evaluation?"

"It's too showy, it's not done yet, it's a return to nature, it's a clever and unfair writing style." Zhao Han said very Chen Ken.

This is compared with the later writing style of Liu Mengcheng.

Zhao Han has read the novel Liu Mengcheng from the Future. It can be said that the online serialized version can be published as a physical book without changing a word.

Now Liu Mengcheng is alone in thinking about writing and description. The female author's attention to detail is clearly reflected in her.

The text looks gorgeous.

But because the plot advances slowly, the reading experience seems particularly boring!

To put it simply, she is a girl now and does not understand people's hearts.

In the future, she will be a single young woman, sultry on the inside, and more understanding of people's hearts.

Zhao Han's theory of writing online articles would be shown off in the hands of Liu Mengcheng in the future.Liu Mengcheng from the future took action to counterattack, and with three strikes, he was forced to abandon his armor and kneel down to beg his master for mercy.

But now, Zhao Han faced the young master and tried his best to show off.

because……

If you don’t show off now, you won’t have the chance to show off in the future!

"What does it mean to return to nature, a writing style that is both sophisticated and skillful?" Liu Mengcheng couldn't help asking, "I don't think you can write it, but give me an example, head office?"

"Okay, let me talk about one first, Jin Yong!" Zhao Han said, "Jin Yong's writing style will still be top-notch even now, no, in the future. He was just because of the limitations of the times. At that time, he mainly wrote martial arts themes. , so he is a famous martial arts master. However, the writing style of many of his writings is also very applicable to fairy tales, cultivation and even oriental fantasy.

In Jin Yong's novels, the writing style serves the plot.The rhythm of the plot is one wave after another, which keeps people immersed in it. When you calm down, you may finish reading the book. This refers to the later works of Jin Yong.

In the early days, Jin Yong's writing style was also relatively stiff, with obvious traces of chiseling, similar to how you pile up rhetoric now, but the intensity was not necessarily appropriate. Compared with the natural writing style of the later period, it still seemed a little green.Even so, Jin Yong's early skills were actually better than yours now.

But in the period of "The Condor", "The Condor", "Yitian", "Swordsman", "Dragon", "The Deer and the Cauldron", etc., the writing is light and easy, without too much waste, basically integrated with the plot. . "

“To use a description you’ve heard, the pursuit of exciting plots in novels is a sword sect. If you master good ideas and story routines, even if your writing is not good, you can quickly rely on a few killer moves to make a name for yourself.

Polishing one's writing skills is Qi Bong. Not only does Qi practice progress slowly in the early stages, but it also requires a process from being messy at the beginning to becoming pure later. "

"To give another example of Jian Zong, "The Misty Journey" is Jian Zong. He created the genre of cultivation novels. His writing style can only be said to be smooth, which means that his internal strength is at a third-rate level. But he is creative and his stories are often imaginative. As a result, it became an instant hit and became a best-selling novel with an annual income of one million. And if the author of "Ethereal Journey" cannot accumulate profound writing skills in the future, it will be difficult for him to achieve his current achievements!"

"I'll draw inferences again. If an author feels that practicing qi is slow, practicing swordsmanship is also slow. Then... if he wants to achieve quick success, the best way is to practice the evil-proofing sword technique!"

"Evil sword technique?" Liu Mengcheng was even more interested.

"To put it simply, the evil-fighting swordsmanship is considered extreme among sword sects. Polish the title, introduction and first three chapters of the book. Put all your effort into attracting attention at the beginning as much as possible, and you won't care much about it later. Because, the main thing is to work hard. They are all used in the title, introduction and beginning of the book!" Zhao Han said, "Right now, the authors of online articles are not obvious yet. In the future, the competition will become fierce, and more and more people will definitely practice the evil sword technique."

This endless theory was actually summarized by Liu Mengcheng himself in the future.

Now, Zhao Han returned the original and returned this theory to her.This is called using the other person's way to repay the other person's body.

Sure enough, Liu Mengcheng was stunned for a moment after being deceived, feeling that it had reached her heart.

"Thanks for the advice. So... you know so much?" Liu Mengcheng thought that Zhao Han realized the truth by reading novels.

but……

The reason why it impressed her was because these were the theories she would tell Zhao Han in the future!

"Okay, you continue to read the novel, first read "Piaomiao", I will prepare an outline." Zhao Han said, "After the outline is completed, you can add some. If you don't understand, ask me... After you have compiled the outline, Just start writing. The way to start writing is that I quickly code out the plot, and then you help me polish and revise it! The revised content should be better written and more readable, but it cannot change the original plot. ,do you understand?"
