Chapter 96 The seventh day of the new album and Riwan!
Chapter 96 New album and new book (The seventh day after ten thousand days!)
It was April when Qi Ji entered "Born Idol".
It's already the end of July now.
The weather was very good today, so Qi Ji took a long nap.
Qi Ma didn't bother him.
Generally, in the first few days when college students return home, their parents treat them like a treasure.
But when I see how lazy you are every day and how you don’t move and only know how to play games, I start to dislike you everywhere.
Parents all over the world are like this.
Qi Ji is still in the "honeymoon period" with his parents, so he can sleep in comfortably.
It's almost 11 o'clock in the morning.
Qi Ji then slowly got up.
The sun was blazing outside, Qi Ji was brushing his teeth, and Qi's mother said: "Go to your grandpa's place for dinner tonight. Everyone is here to see our big star today."
Qi Ji looked at his mother through the reflection in the mirror, spat out a mouthful of mouthwash, and then said: "It's not necessary, why do I feel that if I go there, I will be looked at like a monkey!"
"Kid, what are you talking about? Now that you have participated in the competition, you are very popular! The faces of your relatives and friends are all shining! Everyone is happy for you!"
Qi Ji feels that human beings' joys and sorrows are not so similar.
But if parents are willing to have a party, then just have a party.
Qi Ji had lunch, dressed in casual clothes, and left the community.
Grandpa's home is in the countryside of Chaoyang City, but it's only about 20 kilometers away, so there's no rush.
Qi Ji stepped into this city called "Chaoyang".
This is the first time he has traveled through time and stepped into its body immersively.
The road was busy with traffic, and some shops on both sides of the road were shouting and going.
There is no difference at all from the previous life.
There is a hotpot restaurant across the road. It was Qi Ji's favorite restaurant in the past 18 years.
But today, the store is not open, which makes the scenery a bit unpleasant.
The fifth floor of this store, three buildings from right to left, is Feng Muyu's house.
Qi Ji glanced over and happened to see a girl standing over there, waving to him.
Qi Ji crossed the road, and Feng Muyu was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, denim shorts, and long white legs.
"I knew you would come out." Feng Muyu looked at Qi Ji and smiled, youthful.
Qi Ji said: "I have been in the training camp for three months and I am really exhausted. I have to come out for some air! I want to eat hot pot, but that restaurant is not open."
The two of them walked down side by side.
"Congratulations, you won the championship in the finals. Now you have become a big star!" Feng Muyu was really happy for Qi Ji.
"Oh! Isn't this Qi Ji! He's already a big star, why are he still walking out in person?"
"Qi Ji? Are you back? Come on, let's take a photo together!" A neighbor joked after recognizing Qi Ji.
Qi Ji greeted them one by one, and then said to Feng Muyu: "I am not the champion of the finals. I didn't announce this in the end."
Regarding the finals and the final operations of the program team, Qi Ji was quite critical.
But Wang Zhe immediately explained to Qi Ji.
If the rankings are not announced, there is nothing we can do.
The most fundamental reason is that Qi Ji, the real champion, has not signed a team agreement, so the final highlight moment will definitely not be given to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji was probably aware of this matter, so he could only tell himself in his heart that he should take step by step to gain stronger confidence.
"I don't care, you are a big star here! How about you give me an autograph or something, and I will go out to show off to others!"
Qi Ji said: "I am not at a loss. I have a hunch that you will become a big star in a few years. From now on, you will be the most popular figure in the 2002 class."
"Get lost! I'm just a stinky walk-on now."
The two of them were chatting and laughing, but they didn't sign the signature in the end. Instead, they took a smiling photo with Feng Muyu.
In the photo, two people are standing on the street. The sun is shining and the people are shining brightly.
…
Qi Ji thought that when Lao Qi's family talked about having a meal, it was probably just two or three tables of relatives and friends eating together.
But who would have thought.
At Mr. Qi's place, there were fifteen banquets.
Every table is full of people.
Mr. Qi has been teaching all his life, and his students are all over the world. Half of the fifteen tables are his students.
They all came to congratulate Qi Ji.
Qi Ji was praised by dozens of people.
"Qi Ji, you are indeed a child taught by our teacher Qi, but he is different from those so-called fun-loving young idols. He looks energetic and not arrogant at all!"
"I heard that the entertainment industry is in deep water, so you must grasp it!"
"Lyrics are your advantage. What I like the most are the lyrics of your "Young Chinese Story". They are really well written. I hope our young people can be as full of vigor as you."
All of Mr. Qi's students seemed to be very energetic.
After a banquet, Mr. Qi took Qi Ji's hand, looked at everyone present, and said emotionally: "I have been teaching all my life. Qi Changfeng has inherited my will and has been teaching for most of his life. The students come from all walks of life."
Everyone in the industry has them.”
Dad Qi was cueed by his grandfather at this time, and he stood up silently.
Mr. Qi continued: "But to be honest, among our students, there is really no one like Qi Ji who has entered the entertainment industry. Didn't there just be a little fresh meat and a concubine last month?
It was a smoky mess.
"Today, I will make a request to you in front of everyone."
Mr. Qi looked at Qi Ji with slightly cloudy eyes.
Qi Ji nodded: "Grandpa, tell me."
"Be a good person and don't do anything illegal. Attract your fans well and let them be healthy, positive and normal people."
"Okay!! Teacher Qi said it well!"
"Qi Ji can definitely do it!"
"Brother Qi Ji, come on!"
"No problem! Qi Ji is Teacher Qi's grandson! Your ardent hope must be of the same origin!"
Qi Ji saw a hint of sternness and request in the old man's eyes.
After so many years behind the scenes in his previous life, Qi Ji has seen many dark sides in this circle.
So grandpa's request is also the hope in his heart.
He nodded seriously.
China's entertainment industry, let me correct your direction.
…
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host, for winning the championship of "Born Idol"! As a reward, you will receive a junior actor skills book and three opportunities to customize your work!!"
The system’s rewards are finally here!
This time there are three opportunities to customize works!
This is the reward that Qi Ji currently offers, which he likes the most.
My favorite is naturally the skill book.
He actually has a skill book as an actor?
"System, are you trying to train me to become more omnipotent!?" Qi Ji asked reluctantly, but his consciousness had already used the skill book honestly.
Qi Ji has acquired acting skills comparable to those of a professional acting student.
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host, you have obtained the primary performance skills and upgraded the system."
"Upgrade?" Qi Ji frowned slightly.
"The system is being upgraded..."
Does this system also come with upgrades?
Qi Ji opened the warehouse and counted some existing items.
Items: Bronze treasure chest*3, silver treasure chest*2, "The Beginning" script*1, work customization opportunity*3.
"The system upgrade is successful, please check the host."
Name: Qi Ji.
Music:85.
Performances:71.
Director:62.
Others: Not yet unlocked.
Cultural communication degree: 2541752.
"After the system is upgraded, the mission mode is triggered. The system now releases three missions, and the host can choose to receive one."
"Task 1: Let me define the music scene! The Chinese music scene has been flooded with traffic in recent years, with a flood of popular works, and the music rankings are dominated by shoddy works. Audiences can no longer enjoy high-quality music. Please host to release an album, physical sales
"Task 2: Be famous in the piano world! Since the host has released several piano music and received a lot of attention, the host is asked to delve deeper into the field of piano and deliver more excellent piano music. The mission reward is the script "Pumping Heartbeat"."
"Task three: Novice director! The host in the previous life was a first-class producer in the music industry. It's time to step out of his comfort zone and challenge more unknowns. Ask the host to make a theatrical movie that can be released in theaters. Mission reward: God
A level 1 acting skills book."
Qi Ji briefly browsed the three tasks, and he could try piano music occasionally.
But this circle, after all, has its own threshold and is not that popular.
If you want to earn as much cultural communication as possible, you definitely can't just dive in headfirst.
Speaking of piano, I wonder which path Chang Jie plans to take in the future?
As for directors, Qi Ji's current level is still far from the level of theater directors.
In addition, my biggest goal this year is to make my first album after coming into this world.
Then definitely choose task one.
However, you can practice your skills by shooting the MV yourself.
After all, the rewards in the director's column are still very tempting at present. It is a god-level acting skill book.
"Take another treasure chest and look at it?"
Qi Ji opened the three bronze treasure chests directly.
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host for winning the MV script for "The Seventh Chapter of the Night"."
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host, you have obtained the novel "The Lord of Mysteries"."
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host, for getting the novel "No Survival"."
Wow!
The three bronze treasure chests this time are considered to have yielded good things!
The MV for "Chapter 7 of Night", Qi Ji vaguely remembered, was a suspense story similar to that of a detective solving a crime, which was very interesting.
It can be viewed as a suspense short drama.
As for "Lord of Mysteries", if Qi Ji remembers it correctly, it should be the work of the writer who loved diving in his previous life. It is a breakthrough work that is very out of the ordinary.
He can be regarded as an outstanding representative of online writing.
And "There Are No Survivors", needless to say, is a must-read Agatha Christie classic in the world of mystery novels.
Qi Ji suddenly thought of something and asked: "System, although I won the novel...but with so many words, it will take me several months to type, right?"
"For 1 million cultural communication points, the host can get a physical USB disk containing the work."
"So expensive!?" Qi Ji immediately jumped.
"The host can choose not to purchase it, because the novel has been installed in your mind and you can type it out based on your own memory." The system's sound was very mechanical, but when it fell on Qi Ji's ears, it always felt a little strange.
There is no way.
"There Are No Survivors" has a small number of words, and Qi Ji can type it by hand, so he will not spend money on the system.
But "Lord of Mysteries" has no choice.
A few million words, this level of cultural dissemination must still be given.
Oh shit!
Fortunately, I was a musician in my previous life, so I can remember many of my musical works.
Otherwise, if one song is picked up once by the system, will my own cultural dissemination be enough?
Qi Ji gritted his teeth and exchanged a copy of "The Lord of Mysteries".
A USB flash drive immediately appeared in his trouser pocket.
Qi Ji got up from the bed in a hurry, turned on the computer directly, and transferred "Lord of Mysteries" to his computer.
But how to publish it now?
Is there any novel website that is the same as in the previous life?
Qi Ji was thoughtful, opened Zhihu, and started asking questions: "Excuse me, everyone, I have a novel that I have finished with 5 million words. Which website should I post to? The style of the book is biased.
A bit more western."
There are still many authors in the online writing circle who play Zhihu.
Soon someone came in to give Qi Ji an answer.
"Another master who works behind closed doors...Brother, you may not know much about the online writing industry. It is very dependent on readers' rhythm. We need to serialize it so that we can adjust the content of the book in a timely manner based on readers' reactions. You
Good thing, you wrote millions of words in one breath, you are really good at writing!" This reply was from someone who was certified as "the happy rat of the platinum writer of Paradise Novel Network".
Seeing this certification, Qi Ji knew that this person should be an industry insider.
So Qi Ji asked: "Hello, boss, how is Tiantang Novel Network?"
This boss did not reply for the time being, but others continued to reply to Qi Ji.
Don’t cry: “5 million words of manuscripts!!! Brother, you can go to Paradise and try it. Paradise Novels is undoubtedly the most powerful novel website in the Internet literary circle at present, and your novels should be a little more traditional.
Right? There are still readers of this type here, but on other websites, it may not be possible. Now is the era of fast-paced imaginative writing."
The certified author of Don’t Cry is also a great writer on Tiantang.com. This old man explained it very clearly to Qi Ji.
There is also a trace of ridicule for Qi Ji below.
"I'm really convinced by those of you who want to write novels! I beg you to understand the market before writing. Do you think you can become popular if you write 5 million words behind closed doors?"
"Brother, I'm not trying to criticize you. I've seen many people like you who wrote a lot of words, but in the end, they all quietly left the industry because no one was interested in their novels."
"Actually, if you have written so many words, I suggest you choose an editor first and let him see if you can sign a contract!?"
Qi Ji felt that the last one was very reliable, so he continued to ask: "Brother, do you have the contact information of the editor of Paradise?"
That person directly gave Qi Ji a link, which was the official website of Paradise. Once he clicked on it, he would see the contact information of dozens of editors on the website.
Qi Ji took a few glances and chose an old editor named "Tudou".
Looking at the introduction, it is said that this editor has ten years of experience in the industry and has a sharp vision.
So Qi Ji put the first 10,000 words of "Lord of Mysteries" into a document and sent it to Tudou via email: "Dudou, let's see if this book can be signed?"
There shouldn’t be any problems with the signing of the contract for Squid’s masterpiece in his previous life, right?
Then Qi Ji briefly checked the Internet literature circle and found that the Paradise Novel Network had a similar status to the starting point in his previous life.
Clicking on the homepage of the website, there is a martial arts novel hanging above the big push.
No wonder "Swords Like Dreams" caused such a huge response in the Chinese readership circle.
It can be seen that the current audience for martial arts novels in China is quite large.
I clicked in and read two pages briefly. The level was good, but very average, far worse than Jin Gu.
Qi Ji continued to turn over.
I saw a lot of weird book titles.
"Heaven and Hell: I passed them all with one hand."
"I arrange seats for the gods."
"My wives ascended here."
The titles of these books are each longer than the last.
It can be seen that the development of online literature in this world is even more powerful than Qi Ji imagined.
Will "Lord of Mysteries" work?
Qi Ji himself was a little uneasy.
But he was still uneasy, so after giving the beginning to Tudou, Qi Ji went to bed.
The next day, Qi Ji got up early and went to Shunli Entertainment located in the north of Chaoyang City.
Meng Feichen and more than a dozen employees were waiting for Qi Ji.
"Everyone welcomes Qi Ji!!" Meng Feichen was the first to applaud.
The employees all seemed quite excited.
When I heard that Qi Ji was actually a contracted artist of the company, everyone actually couldn't believe it.
Today, I finally met a real person!
So far, Shunli Entertainment, including Qi Ji, has signed five artists.
Only Qi Ji is considered a singer, the other four, two men and two women, are all actors.
Qi Ji was led into Meng Feichen's office.
The secretary brought him a cup of coffee.
"Well, Mr. Meng, as we talked on the phone, my main focus in the next year will be my album and my studies."
Meng Feichen nodded and said: "Of course, your album this year is our top priority. Let me do the math, "Young Chinese Story", "Under the Sea", "Swords Like Dreams", "Night of the Night"
"Seven Chapters", "Dragon Fist", "Youpu", and "Blue and White Porcelain", the quality of the album is definitely enough. There are still three songs left. If you don't have them, the company can get you three songs. We can get them together.
Ten songs, in this case, it’s a complete album!”
What Qi Ji showed on the stage of "Born to Be an Idol" was nothing short of awesome.
Each of these songs, taken individually, can be used as the title song of an album, let alone so many of them together?
So Qi Ji planned to add some of his own personal touches to this album.
It was a song he wrote himself in his previous life, and it is considered a relatively popular song.
"I've already written it."
So Meng Feichen continued to ask: ""Under the Sea" and "Young Chinese Story", do you want your own solo, or do you want Mu Yunxiu and Zhao Qingke to produce a studio version of the chorus?"
Qi Ji thought for a while and said: "Forget it about "The Story of Young China", I can sing it alone."
The reason why I agreed to Zhao Qingke in the first place was because I fell in love with Zhao Qingke's reputation on the show and wanted to take advantage of it to give myself a little more exposure.
But in fact, in Qi Ji's mind, this song is actually not suitable for singing with a female voice at all.
"But for "Under the Sea", I think we can make another chorus version with Mu Yunxiu, but this time, I will add a version with different lyrics."
Qi Ji is planning to release the original version of this song in his previous life, which is so depressing.
The two songs are actually meant to be listened to together.
The version of Phoenix Legend is a call and redemption to the original version.
Hearing Qi Ji's words, Meng Feichen couldn't help but laugh: "Haha! Now you kid, you don't look down on Zhao Qingke's popularity!"
Qi Ji also smiled shyly.
Meng Feichen said it right.
The reason why he wanted to make a duet version with Mu Yunxiu was of course because of her status as a diva.
And as a singer-songwriter, you need to collaborate with many different singers.
In this way, you can expand your network of contacts in the circle.
To be a truly top-notch songwriter, one must not only see how popular his own album is and how well it sells.
It also depends on how many popular songs the songwriter has written for other singers.
Look at the songs Jay Chou wrote for Eason Chan, Jolin Tsai and other singers?
This is what establishes a top creator.
That is his work, which is not only suitable for him to sing, but can also make countless people famous!
This is called forcefulness!
"As for the second one, the company has just been established and the music director position in the music department is still vacant. See if you are interested." Meng Feichen suddenly said.
When Qi Ji heard this, he was really a little unbelievable.
In his previous life, he struggled for more than ten years and wrote hundreds of songs, many of which were hits.
Only then could I prove myself and sit in the position of director of a first-tier music company.
But at this moment, just because of a few of his songs on "Born Idol", the company is going to give him the position of music director?
"Mr. Meng, I'm still young and may not be qualified for this position," Qi Ji said.
Although the quality of the songs I produced is indeed very high.
But he didn't drift.
Smooth Entertainment is clearly ambitious.
There should be more than ten employees in the music department now. If I become the director myself...at such a young age, I probably won't be able to hold them back.
Moreover, I am planning to enter the front stage, so I don’t want to do the behind-the-scenes work anymore.
Giving Qi Ji the identity of music director was the result of discussions between Meng Feichen and Li Shunli.
Qi Ji's musical prowess displayed on "Born to Be an Idol", in the eyes of the two of them, is worth using such a position to win over.
"Don't worry, it's just a name. Usually there will be another deputy director in charge of the music department." Meng Feichen said, naturally he would not be stupid enough to put a 21-year-old young man in such a position and suffer. "
It means that you will be given the treatment of a director, and you will have some shares in the company, but you will not be able to do specific management. After all, it is best for you to stand in front of the stage!"
Hearing what Meng Feichen said, Qi Ji felt relieved.
It's still possible to get shares in the company.
"One more thing." Meng Feichen knocked on the table and said, "Someone told us that the original works performed by Gu Mu and Wan Bin on "Born Idol" were all bought by Banana Entertainment at a high price, including
In the fourth round of performances, your song "Dark Night" was eliminated. This news is not true, but I think it is still quite credible."
Qi Ji: "Is this really happening?"
Qi Ji remembered that after Sigong, he asked Gu Mu what a line of lyrics in "Dark Night" meant, but Gu Mu didn't answer for a while.
At that time, he felt something was not quite right.
It stands to reason that a creator should have some understanding of the songs he writes, or at least know why he expresses them in this way.
As a qualified porter, Qi Ji carefully understands the works he is transporting, and such a situation will never happen.
"You also think there is a problem?" Meng Feichen asked. When Qi Ji said this, he felt that things were indeed a little abnormal.
In this circle, he has naturally heard of things like buying songs to create a persona.
In the past, if the matter had nothing to do with him, he would naturally be concerned about it.
But now that one of our own people has been bullied, we must investigate clearly.
As a human being, you might as well be like that Xu Changxia, and just say that your songs were written by Gu Wenshan with his left hand.
Didn’t that win a round of applause?
"I think if the company has connections in this area, they can investigate it. Anyway, I feel like their songs really don't look like they were written by them."
As a porter, Qi Ji said this without blushing or heart beating.
"Okay, I will find someone to investigate this matter secretly. Logically speaking, the author who can write a song of this quality should not be an unknown person."
Qi Ji thought for a while and said: "Do you think there are musicians who are very short of money in the past few years, or a little bit further back in time? Such people are very likely to sell out for money.
All my works are for survival!"
Meng Feichen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said: "Your analysis is very reasonable. I will let someone investigate it right now. If there are results, I will tell you!"
"That's okay!"
"Then during this period, we will officially start the production of your first album? The other three songs?"
"I'd better write it myself!"
"That's no problem!"
After finishing the conversation with Meng Feichen, Qi Ji came to the music department and met more than a dozen employees.
And Xiao Le, the most powerful music director at the moment.
"Qi Ji, hello!"
"Brother Xiao!"
"Your songs are great! I like every one of them! Especially the arrangement of "The Seventh Chapter of Night" is simply amazing!"
Xiao Le has no doubt about Qi Ji's musical ability.
He also knew that the company gave Qi Ji a nominal music director in order to win over Qi Ji.
The real power is in his own hands.
So he didn't have any objections.
In the future, Qi Ji will complete the production of his first album here.
Qi Ji sat down, and Xiao Le sat in front of him with a smile.
At present, the music department is relatively idle. It has just been established, so the KPI pressure from the company is not that great.
The biggest project at the moment is the production of Qi Ji’s new album.
"Have all the songs in the album been written?" Xiao Le asked.
Qi Ji: "Include the seven songs from the show, and then I will write three more songs."
With that said, Qi Ji took a list and started writing it down.
Xiao Le sat aside and watched curiously.
"This song is good! The melody of your song is quite interesting!"
"Hey, I feel like the arranger can just use the bass drum to add to the atmosphere!"
"It's "Under the Sea" again? The lyrics are still different?"
Xiao Le is a professional after all. Looking at the songs written by Qi Ji, he was thinking about how to arrange the music.
After chatting with Qi Ji for a long time, I finally set the tone for the entire album.
Then Qi Ji flew home again, and first clicked on his own mailbox.
He has received a reply from Tudou.
"Hello, your manuscript does not meet the signing standards for the time being. You may consider changing to another editor, or try publishing the book directly on the website."
The first submission for "Lord of Mysteries" failed?
Qi Ji was silent for a moment, he still didn't believe it.
After searching the forum, I found an editor named "Long Night" who is called a review machine and responds very quickly.
Authors all like to submit manuscripts to this editor because her review speed is extremely fast, and because she is a girl, many authors call her the Humanoid Review Girl.
Qi Ji thought for a while and sent the first 10,000 words of "Lord of Mysteries" to Chang Ye's mailbox.
Then he picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Mu Yunxiu: "Sister Xiuxiu, are you free? Am I preparing to make a new album? I want to sing a song with you."
Mu Yunxiu was applying a facial mask at the moment. After receiving Qi Ji's message, a smile immediately appeared on her lips, and she called him directly.
"Hey, Sister Xiuxiu! Good evening!"
"Well, what song is it?" Mu Yunxiu asked softly.
"It's "Under the Sea"."
"You want to include our chorus version in your album?"
"Yes, and I also wrote another version of "Under the Sea", which I will send to you later. You are a creative genius, help me study it."
"Hehe, your talent is much better than mine!" Mu Yunxiu felt quite happy after calling Qi Ji late at night, and the talent on her chest was swaying slightly.
Suddenly, she remembered something, frowned slightly, and asked: "Do you also want to include "The Story of Young China" that you and Zhao Qingke sang in the album?"
"This song will not be included. In fact, this song is not very suitable for chorus. I just need to make my own solo version."
The corners of Mu Yunxiu's mouth curled up into a smile, and the pear dimples on her cheeks bloomed slightly.
Yes, your first time is mine.
"You think you're not suitable for singing a duet, but you still sang a duet with someone on the show? Huh?"
Qi Ji held the phone slightly away from him.
Why does Mu Yunxiu's voice on the other end of the phone sound a bit like coquettishness?
Is this because my young body is a bit too vigorous?
"Sister, I was just an amateur at that time, and I definitely wanted to take advantage of the popularity, you know!" Qi Ji explained honestly.
Mu Yunxiu's voice suddenly became sweet: "Then you and I will sing together to gain popularity?"
Qi Ji: "Hey! Who can tell you that you are more enthusiastic!"
"Hmph! Okay, hurry up and send the new version of "Under the Sea"!"
Qi Ji hung up the phone and couldn't help but feel.
I... haven't been around a woman for a long time.
Oh shit!
Just a simple phone call with Mu Yunxiu made my ears feel itchy.
He quickly sent the demo of the new version of "Under the Sea" that he sang to Mu Yunxiu.
Then I discovered that the other party I had submitted to Chang Ye had already replied.
Only five minutes had passed since he sent the email.
She is worthy of being called the humanoid reviewer!
Qi Ji clicked on the email to reply: "It has not yet reached the signing standard. There is no problem with the writing, but the pace of the opening chapter is too slow, and Western Fantasy is very unpopular now. This genre may not get any good recommendations, and no one will read it. It is recommended to change
Try an oriental fantasy background."
In addition to the rejection of the manuscript in the first sentence, there are also some suggestions from the editor, which are more enthusiastic than the previous one.
but!
The dignified "Lord of Mysteries" was actually killed twice in a row??
Qi Ji was a little confused.
He did not believe in evil and continued to browse the forum.
"New authors are advised to submit their manuscripts to new editors. Because new editors don't have many author resources at their disposal, they are more willing to sign you as long as your writing is decent!"
Qi Ji quickly came across such a post.
He thought it made sense, so he found the contact information of "Twice-cooked Rou", a new editor of Paradise Novels, and sent the opening chapter of "The Lord of Mysteries" to him.
I thought that if I was still rejected for the third time, I might as well change a website.
…
The next day, Magic City.
Paradise Novel Editorial Department.
Everyone began the intense review work one after another.
Twice-cooked pork is a young man who has just graduated and has only been in the company for a month.
Currently, he has only twenty-nine signed authors.
And because he is a newcomer, he only has thirty signing quotas per month.
Next month, I will look at the results and the editor will add the number.
It is now the last day of July.
He still has the last signing spot left.
So as soon as he got to work, he quickly opened his email and started reviewing the manuscript.
His master was Shitou, who was in his thirties. He was holding a cup of tea, standing behind Twice-cooked Pork, and teaching: "Actually, you don't have to work so hard. Just open the mailbox once a day and deal with it in a unified manner. And you have just arrived.
, many capable authors may not submit manuscripts to you, this is normal, don’t be discouraged.”
Twice-cooked pork nodded and opened "The Lord of Mysteries".
"Who can touch the extraordinary in the wave of steam and machinery? Who is whispering in the fog of history and darkness? I woke up from the mystery and opened my eyes to see the world: guns, cannons, giant ships, airships,
Difference engine; potions, divination, curses, the Hanged Man, sealed objects... the light still shines, the mystery is never far away, this is a legend of "The Fool"."
This introduction seems to say something, but it also seems to say nothing at all.
Click to enter Chapter 1.
The text is okay.
But the pace is a bit slow.
Actually it's pretty good.
"This book has been submitted to me before." Tudou beside him suddenly spoke.
"You didn't sign?" Twice-cooked pork asked.
"The pace is a bit slow. I'm not optimistic about it." Tudou said and returned to his work station.
Twice-cooked pork has read all the 10,000 words sent by Qi Ji.
These ten thousand words, it seems, the pace is not fast.
But he felt that the author of this book had some ideas.
After thinking about it, he decided to give his last signing quota in July to this book.
then.
He replied directly: "You can sign the contract and contact me to send the book."
Half an hour later.
He added a man called a "Humanoid Coder".
"Hello, the writing of "Lord of Mysteries" is pretty good. Just publish it as a book. After it passes the review, just contact me."
Humanoid code machine: "Okay, thank you, boss."
The manuscript is finally finished.
Qi Ji also breathed a sigh of relief.
The first three chapters of "Lord of Mysteries" were released silently in the writer's backroom of Paradise Novel.
The pseudonym he used was Humanoid Coder, and he notified Twice-cooked Pork.
"Hello editor, the book has been sent."
"Okay, pay attention to your background signing text message, and just follow the process in the link, step by step."
The next moment, Qi Ji found himself pulled into a group chat.
Twice-cooked pork theme group (30).
This is the small group of authors who work on twice-cooked pork.
Seeing new people coming in, everyone immediately became excited.
"Wocao, another big boss has joined the group? The group status has been reduced by one."
"The group status is reduced by one."
"Wocao! The boss's avatar is very handsome!"
Qi Ji used his own sketches drawn by his fans.
Qi Ji typed silently: "Do you recognize my avatar?"
Tomato Soup: "Yes! Isn't it Qi Ji! I quite like his songs!"
Humanoid Coding Machine: "You have a discerning eye, brother! This avatar is the only person I found who can vaguely compete with my appearance after searching all over the Internet!"
"???"
"???"
Tomato Soup: "Wocao! You are so shameless, you look like a boss!"
Tomato Soup: "@人肖码机, brother, what is the name of your book? I will vote for you!"
Qi Ji had just completed the electronic signing and saw that the page of his book had been changed to the signing status, so he replied to Tomato Soup and said: "Lord of the Mystery, I'll go check it out when you have time!"
Then, Qi Ji asked: "How do we get recommendations after we sign the contract?"
Someone jumped out: "Are you new? The recommended positions are all based on follow-up reading."
It had been more than an hour since Qi Ji posted the book, and he found that there were 9 more collections in the background.
Really good!
Nine people have actually collected it! I feel so happy!
"Then what is called pursuing reading? (sweating)" Qi Ji didn't understand anything.
"The number of VIP readers who have followed the latest chapter. Your book is published in the fantasy category. It will take about thirty followers before it can be promoted!"
Testing the waters is the first recommendation for a book.
If your grades are good, you can continue to push them up; if your grades are not good, you may be lost in the sea of books.
Qi Ji was studying the knowledge of the Internet literary circle very seriously and saw that the time was almost up.
Then he flew to the company.
He has made an appointment with Mu Yunxiu to record "Under the Sea" together today.
