Chapter 20 Official Opening of School
For new authors, the only list that can be listed is the New Author Potential List. The conditions for inclusion in the list are that the first published work after becoming a Qidian writer has more than 50,000 words in the public version and less than 200,000 words in total. Within 30 days of being added to the Qidian library, every
Works that have been updated once within three days.
"Martial Arts Without Limits" is currently not eligible to be on the list.
The new potential list is the only opportunity for new authors to show their faces before signing a contract, otherwise their works will only be buried in the vast library.
In order to reach 50,000 words as soon as possible, Li Zhe uploaded three more chapters, totaling more than 6,000 words.
Then he thought about it and added a sentence under the introduction of the book page: There are 300,000 manuscripts of this book, please feel free to collect and read it.
Of course, Li Zhe didn't have 300,000 words in the manuscript. He didn't say that he was giving readers reassurance. After all, there were too many online articles about eunuchs.
There is no threshold for writing online articles. Many people start a novel on a whim, only to give up after writing a few chapters, causing readers who are new to the novel to call it a rip-off.
Therefore, many readers who are afraid of being deceived simply do not collect works that are not signed or have too few words.
Of course, readers in this period are lovely, and they are more supportive and patient with new authors.
Even if the works of newcomers are not well written, they will give encouragement or suggestions, and they will rarely criticize them directly in the comment area. Some readers are specifically looking for unsigned new books to read, and they are even more delighted to find a book.
Dry food helps the author to promote and recommend everywhere, but he is afraid that the author will become a eunuch because of poor grades.
On the afternoon of the 13th, all freshmen held a grand military training review ceremony in the playground. After the review ceremony, the 10-day military training ended.
While the freshmen were participating in the military training review, Li Zhe went to the driving school where he signed up and took the subject one test.
Of course Li Zhe could drive, but after he was reborn and lost his driver's license, he had to take the test again. On the second day of military training, he went to a nearby driving school to register. Students who learned to drive had a discounted registration fee of only 2,000 yuan.
After signing up, Li Zhe stuffed the coach with a 1,000 yuan red envelope and showed off his driving skills. The coach happily said that there was no need to practice driving and he could just come to the test when the time came. He would also try his best to help Li Zhe while waiting for the test.
Go ahead and make arrangements, and you can get your certificate in a month or so at the earliest.
The 14th is the official start day for freshmen. All 6 people in the dormitory got up early. Today is the first day of class, and everyone is in high spirits.
But this is just the beginning of school, and the freshmen are still in the "school excitement period" and are very active. Soon, when the excitement period is over, they will slack off, be late when they should be late, and be absent from class when they should be.
Li Zhe finished his run, had breakfast in the cafeteria, and started the starting point as soon as he returned to the dormitory.
Yesterday, he uploaded 3 more chapters, 1 chapter each in the morning, middle and evening. The purpose of uploading them separately is to allow the novel to show up a few more times on the website page update list. After all, before a new book is listed on the list, it will only be posted on the website each time it is updated.
It only stays on the page for a few minutes to attract clicks.
Li Zhe uploaded another chapter. At this time, the total word count of "Martial Arts Without Limits" has exceeded 20,000, the number of clicks has increased to more than 700, the recommendation votes have been more than 100, and there are 82 collections.
For a new book by a newcomer that was uploaded just two days ago, this is a pretty good result.
Li Zhe looked at the book review section and found several readers' comments.
"The book is very interesting. Come on, author! Three votes for it!"
“The author should update more, it’s not enough!”
"Support me, I hope the author doesn't want to be a eunuch!"
…
Li Zhe refined the book reviews, deleted all advertising posts, and closed the web page.
Three chapters a day, and tomorrow the total number of words in "Martial Arts Without Limits" will reach 30,000 words. 30,000 words is a hurdle. Qidian editors will review the new book for the first time, and if it is "appealing", it will be signed.
The second signing review is for 50,000 words. If the author has not received the signing text message at this time, it means that the editor is not optimistic about the potential of the book. Even if he waits for the new book to reach 100,000 words and actively applies for signing review, nine times out of ten, he will not be able to sign the contract.
will pass.
Li Zhe is not sure whether he will receive a contract text message when he reaches 30,000 words. Qidian’s contract signing standards do not depend on your grades, but only whether the editor is optimistic about your work. If the editor is not optimistic about your work, he will not sign a contract with you even if your grades are good.
For example, "The Story of a Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality" was not favored by the editor because the plot was too bland in the early stage. It has written more than 300,000 words and has collected ten to twenty thousand words. It is still an unsigned work and has no recommendations. I just rely on the support of readers to write it.
It’s on the click list.
Li Zhe is confident in the quality of his novel, but he doesn't know if it can meet the editor's vision.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Li Zhe and He Zhigang came to class in room 3202 of Zhiyuan Building (the third teaching floor).
The first two classes are English classes, Chinese classes 1 and 2, and the two classes are taught together.
At this time, the classroom was already bustling with fifty or sixty people, all sitting in two or three together. Girls accounted for the vast majority. Basically, more than forty of them were girls, occupying the front row. About ten people were sitting in the front row.
Most boys sit in the back row.
Yang Hao touched Wang Zhiheng and signaled that the seat to Liu Kaiyue's left was still vacant. Wang Zhiheng understood the idea and immediately walked over, asking with a smile.
"Committee of Cultural Affairs, can I sit here?"
Liu Kaiyue glanced at Wang Zhiheng and smiled, "Sorry, this seat is occupied."
After hitting a wall and returning, Wang Zhiheng's face looked a little bitter, and He Zhigang patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.
The four of them, Li Zhe, sat down in good seats in the back row. Cheng Xiang, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head, looked at Wang Zhiheng and said, "You also want to chase Liu Kaiyue?"
Wang Zhiheng asked, "Why can't I pursue you?"
Cheng Xiang stared at him for a few seconds before saying: "In that case, I will compete fairly to see who has the ability!"
At this time, there were still twenty minutes before class started, and the classroom was like a boiling water furnace, with everyone busy with their own things.
When class was only 5 minutes away, Liu Kaiyue suddenly stood up and walked to the podium. His tall figure and pretty face immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"There is something I need to tell you. Our school will hold a welcome party on the evening of the 23rd. The Arts Department is soliciting party programs from all freshmen. Students in our class who have talents and want to participate in the party can come after class.
Sign up with me and I will register the program for you."
"Committee on Cultural Affairs, is registration voluntary?" someone asked below.
Liu Kaiyue nodded. "It's voluntary. The performances at the party are mainly old students. We freshmen are voluntarily participating, but I still hope that our class will have more performances. Even if we don't choose any of them, at least it will show our Chinese 2
Class style."
Chapter completed!
