Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 7: protocol

TT didn't have a good time typing and chatting, so Sun Peng gave Zheng Ye his phone number and asked the other party to call.

After answering the phone, he was polite again. Under Sun Peng’s repeated inquiries, Zheng Ye patiently explained it. Sun Peng has touched a little bit of the doorway, and roughly guessed that he was shooting the carving on the street. the reason.

The reason is very simple. It is nothing more than that the Chinese cultural industry in this world is too developed.

For a country, a developed cultural industry is of course a good thing. In addition to creating numerous jobs and increasing GDP, it also demonstrates the true strength of a country. After all, the cultural industry is the most representative of a country’s political influence and influence. One of the elements of economic strength.

But a developed industry means fierce competition.

Because of its strong economic strength and a population of 1.2 billion, China has created an extremely large market, and strict copyright protection policies ensure the interests of authors. Therefore, the Internet literature with the lowest threshold has attracted countless visionaries. With the dream of becoming famous in the world, he rushed into the candlelight one after another. But because of this, it has caused the fierce competition in online literature. Compared with the physical publishing with a higher threshold, it can be described as a sea of ​​blood and blood. Every small well-known author is killed among thousands of people. .

If the newcomer wants to get ahead, it is too difficult.

It is conceivable that he was originally a pink and tender newcomer. Even if the classics are like the Legend of the Condor Heroes, how can they easily emerge? Many old readers didn't even look at the novel with a few hundred thousand words, which caused the "miserable" data in Sun Peng's eyes. What's more, after decades of brilliance, chivalrous novels have long become a dead novel category in the eyes of new readers, and only those diehard fans will continue to look for this category of books on the website.

"Without him, the time is so!"

After reading Zheng Ye's explanation, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh: How untimely crossing!

If the time goes back to decades ago that the Internet has not yet appeared, TV technology has not yet fully matured, and newspapers are still the mainstream of the media era, the shooting of eagles will surely be as popular as those written in many crossing novels, and it will be like the earth. The classic status. Next, Sun Peng didn't need to worry about anything, as long as he made many famous articles by Jin Da, it was enough to create an era that belonged to him.

But it is a pity that he crossed into such a parallel world.

The era when newspapers dominated the media field has long passed, and even the influence of television is rapidly declining, not to mention that the development of the Internet has turned the novel, a game that only literary elites can play in the past, into mass entertainment, and it can be used in a large number of works. It’s not that easy. This is the reason why the classic novel of Shooting Eagle is so inconspicuous on the Shuxiang Chinese website. People have cultivated a dozen great gods, hundreds of middle and small gods, and divided most of the readers' resources...

So in fact, the achievement of shooting the eagle is already very good in the chivalrous novel section!

In the mouth of editor Zheng Ye, Sun Peng's unsightly achievements are already very impressive. Nowadays, Internet novels are basically occupied by science fiction, reasoning, urban and other categories. Another popular world-crossing stream of rebirth is even more popular. It can be said that a hundred flowers bloom, and it is not inferior to the earth. However, traditional chivalrous novels have long since died. The model of Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses has been written to the extreme by Chinese people decades ago. Nowadays, except for a few diehard fans, no one writes it again, and few people read it again. .

That's why Zheng Ye said that it's not easy to achieve such a score for a sculpture of less than 200,000 characters.

but……

After listening to Zheng Ye’s explanation, Sun Peng became more curious and couldn’t help asking: “Mr. Zheng, I don’t understand this a bit. Since this is the case, why do you still ask me to shoot? Does the copyright of the carving still exist? Isn't your agency still publishing chivalrous novels that have no market?"

"Haha, again, physical publishing is different from online novels."

After a haha ​​smile, Zheng Ye quickly explained: “In the physical publishing market, traditional chivalrous novels still have many loyal readers. They are generally a little older and are not used to reading on the Internet... and I don’t feel Those traditional chivalrous novels are one thing, don't you think?"

"Hey, that's interesting!"

When he saw this, Sun Peng finally felt that this editor Zheng was extraordinary.

The 200,000-character Legend of the Condor Heroes, in fact, in Sun Peng's opinion, is far from exciting. For example, none of the most brilliant Wujue has appeared, such as the eighteen palms of the dragon, the left and right strokes, and the rhythm killing technique. Qi Kung Art has yet to show its head, and exciting moments such as riding a shark and talking on the sword in Huashan are still yet to come. The two hundred thousand characters in front actually talk about the origin of Guo Jing and Yang Kang, and the grievances and grievances between the Quanzhen Seven Sons and the Jiangnan Seven Monsters. The attractive place is nothing more than the heart-destructing palms of the black wind and the two evil spirits and the nine-yin white bone claws, and of course the internal strength of the whole town taught by Ma Yu to Guo Jing-in this world, the internal strength is so perfect for the first time Appear in front of the world!

However, Sun Peng felt a little unbelievable to come in less than a month.

Just as Sun Peng frowned and was about to ask carefully, as if he had guessed the doubt in his heart, Zheng Ye quickly continued: "Actually, I have an old friend who is a loyal reader of chivalrous novels. His homework is to look for new chivalrous novels on our website. It was he who discovered the extraordinary feature of shooting sculptures and highly recommended it to me. Haha, it just so happens that all the chivalrous novels published by our publishing house are under my control, so... Do you understand?"

That's it!

After listening to this passage, Sun Peng finally understood it thoroughly.

But I understand, after I figured it out, Sun Peng still felt a little bit dumbfounded, and he was overwhelmed by Jin Da's shooting the eagle: no matter what world he was in, the eagle shooting should definitely be a classic novel. Think about Jianglong, think about fighting. Goubang method, think of Bihai Chaosheng Song, and then think about Wujue and Huashan Lunjian, that is simply the brilliant starting point of martial arts novels! Unexpectedly, he was left out in the cold because of the wrong times in this world. Even if he was just a plagiarist, Sun Peng felt very wronged in his heart-he brought it from his own world anyway, and the shooting of the eagle was left out by the people of this world. For Sun Peng, it was like the traditional Chinese culture in the previous life was looked down upon by foreigners...

While sighing a little heartily, Su Peng continued to ask curiously: "Editor Zheng, of course I am very confident in shooting eagles, but... after all, it only has less than 200,000 characters. It just opened. It’s just a size, and the grades are so bad that I don’t even dare to put it on the shelves. Why do you think it is eligible for publication? What if the writing later collapses? In this case, if you decide to publish directly, isn’t it your risk? Big?"

In his previous life, Sun Peng actually had several dealings with editors.

As a junior surgeon, Sun Peng is certainly not qualified to write books, but his tutor does! Who hasn't received an invitation from a publishing house, among the clinical big cows? Either write a major, or participate in editing textbooks and so on. But the big cows have to have surgery, go out to clinics, hold academic meetings, and serve as members of various societies, editorial boards of various magazines, etc. How can they have time to write books? In the end, these trivial matters naturally fall on their doctoral or master students. Anyway, books and papers are not the same. What they need is mature theory and knowledge. Just use it directly!

After contacting several times, Sun Peng knew that every editor had an evaluation index.

So after thinking about it, Sun Peng couldn't understand why Zheng Ye contacted him so early. Sculpture shooting is of course classic enough. Even if it only has 200,000 characters, it is still outstanding when it is thrown on the Chinese website of scholarly Chinese. People with a discerning eye can naturally find its excellence. But if this allows the editor of a large publishing house to trust a pure newcomer, and want to publish this book in a hurry, Sun Peng is still a bit confused!

...

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and it seemed that he didn’t want Sun Peng to suddenly ask that. After a while, Zheng Ye’s somewhat embarrassed voice came over: "Mr. Sun, it’s like this... For novels with a good start, especially newcomers, We generally contact the author in advance to make a preliminary agreement for publication. Of course, whether it can be published and when it will be published depends on the quality of the subsequent content, so this agreement is only a preliminary agreement..."

"Ha ha!"

Sun Peng's face went dark when he heard this, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

In vain, I was shocked just now. I thought I was lucky enough to run into the plot in the novel, and I met a big cow editor. I discovered the true value of vulture shooting in the waves. I didn't expect it to be such a thing!

The preliminary agreement...

Think of Sun Peng with your thighs and know that this agreement certainly cannot be fair.

For example, if you write well later, it will naturally be handed over to Shuxiang Publishing House for publishing after signing the agreement; but if your later writing breaks down, or someone looks unpleasant in some aspect, the agreement is likely to be cancelled. Cooperation or delay, is it a preliminary agreement anyway, hum haha... you know!

However, Sun Peng was not very angry.

This is only the first time that the two parties have contacted each other. They are just doing their own work. What is to be angry about? In addition, with the current situation of shooting carving, it is a good thing to have editors' attention, which shows that with the increase in the number of words and the development of the plot, the power of the classics has slowly begun to show, right?

So after hehe smiled, Sun Peng said calmly: "Alright, Editor Zheng, please send me this preliminary agreement. How about I first?"
