In the Qidian Editorial Department, Wu Jian, the editor responsible for reviewing and reviewing the books for storage, made a cup of tea as usual after work, sat down in front of the computer, and began to drink tea while reviewing the new books that had recently been applied for storage.
Because he had just spent two days over the weekend and today was Monday, he was still a little lazy and couldn't get into the best working condition for a while. Of course, he didn't mind. Anyway, it was Monday and no one would say anything about him this early in the morning.
.
The work of warehousing review is very simple, but a bit tedious. You have to scan the first few thousand words of each new book that is applied for warehousing. If no problems are found, the new book can pass the warehousing review.
Qidian's current warehousing review is very relaxed, and 95% of new books can pass the warehousing review.
Therefore, his job is easier.
I glanced at a new book a few times, found no problems, and passed it.
In just a short time, Wu Jian passed the review of more than a dozen new books.
Until a pseudonym that was a bit long came into his eyes - Xianyu Anlaosun.
When this pen name came into his eyes, he suddenly sat upright from his lazily sitting posture, and his pulse returned as if he had suddenly drunk something.
His eyes lit up and he said to himself a little excitedly: "This salted fish has finally opened a new book. It's not easy!"
A formal introduction: Wu Jian is also a fan of Xianyu An Laosun.
As a fan of Xianyu An Laosun, he has of course been looking forward to Xianyu An Laosun's new book.
According to the usual practice, he should take a few glances at the new book, and as long as no problems are found, the new book will be approved for storage.
But as a fan of Xianyu An Laosun, he sat up straight, took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and curiously read the new book Xianyu An Laosun, which was applied for storage, word by word.
As the warehousing review editor of Qidian, he has the advantage of always being able to preview every book he is interested in. As soon as possible, he can preview the first few thousand words of each book.
When he noticed that the name of Xianyu Anlaosun's new book was "This Daddy is Unusual", Wu Jian frowned slightly, looking a little confused.
Muttered: "Daddy? This guy is writing about daddy this time? No way, right?"
No wonder he found it strange, because as of now, not to mention the starting point, even in the entire Internet literary circle, no great person has written a novel about nanny.
There are even very few great writers who have been writing urban novels. Especially in recent years, since the right to adapt game and film adaptations of popular online articles can be sold, the great writers generally only write about the two themes of fantasy and fairy tales. A few great writers
Can write about historical subjects.
For the first two themes, it is easier to sell game and film and television adaptation rights. Although it is not easy to sell game adaptation rights for historical themes, film and television adaptation rights can still be expected.
Urban is also a major category of Qidian, with many readers.
But there are very few masters who have been writing about this subject.
Occasionally, after a master writes urban works and becomes famous, he often jumps to the fantasy or fairy tale genre to open a new book.
This seems difficult to understand.
Because it stands to reason that works with urban themes are the easiest to adapt into film and television dramas.
Can……
The style of works on male online videos determines that it is difficult to sell film and television adaptation rights for works with urban themes.
As for the reason?
In the final analysis, it is still due to the style problem of male online works. Even for urban articles, the style that has become popular in recent years is an upgraded style.
The male protagonist needs to continue to grow. Growing into the richest man is a basic operation, or becoming a high-ranking official, and during this period he has to sleep with ten or eight women.
Many urban novels, in order to help the male protagonist grow up quickly, will also give the male protagonist a very impressive golden finger.
And these are all the difficulties in film and television adaptation.
Domestic dramas are good at male and female protagonists or male and female supporting roles, and even male and female grandfathers and old ladies falling in love. Career is not the focus.
Niubi's Golden Finger and so on are not popular in the film and television drama market.
Also, in an urban romance drama, a male protagonist has a relationship with ten or eight women at the same time. Not to mention that a good actress is unwilling to accept such a drama. Even if an actress is willing to accept such a drama, which company would dare to take on such a drama?
Submitted for review?
Therefore, those who want to sell game adaptation rights and film and television adaptation rights generally do not deal with urban themes.
However, although Wu Jian was surprised, he was not disappointed.
Because from the perspective of a reader, he loves to read urban literature.
The film and television drama market does not favor Qidian's male-oriented urban novels, but as a reader of online articles and a man, he likes urban novels very much.
Who makes urban literature down-to-earth and immersive?
Therefore, Wu Jian was just a little confused, but he was still happy in his heart. He believed that Xianyu An Lao Sun would be able to write a good urban novel with his writing skills.
Just like the previous "I Decathlon" and "The Last Wish of the Dead".
Although he felt that "The Last Wish of the Dead" was more of a supernatural style in addition to the story being set in a modern city, he still admitted that the book "The Last Wish" was very interesting.
only……
The few thousand words that were put into the database for review were too few, and it wasn't enough for him to squeeze through his teeth, so he just finished reading them.
After reading it, he felt disappointed.
He sat in front of the computer in a daze, his expression not changing for a long time.
As he expected, Xianyu Anlao Sun's writing skills are indeed very strong. What he just read was only the first chapter, but just the first chapter gave him a strong sense of immersion.
It seems as if the wife in the book ran away and the only hero left with a son was Wu Jian.
He sympathizes with the male protagonist's depressed state of mind.
After a while, he came back to his senses and suddenly realized where did he get his wife and son? I don’t have a girlfriend yet...
To use the sentence in the book "I Can Do the Decathlon" - "I don't know if my mother-in-law was born yet."
“As expected of salted fish!”
Wu Jian muttered again, and quickly passed the review for this book. If it didn't pass the review, how could he read the subsequent chapters of this book?
Based on his understanding of Xianyu, my old sun, over the past few years, he believed that it has been so long since Xianyu, my old sun, finished his last book, that there must be a lot of manuscripts for new books.
Maybe there will be an update of 10,000 to 20,000 words today, and he is looking forward to it.
It was a coincidence that he had just passed the storage review for "This Nanny Is Unusual" when he saw the editor-in-chief hairtail passing by his office.
At that time, Wu Jian's eyes lit up.
Because he remembered Hairtail was the editor-in-chief of Xianyu, An Laosun.
"Hey! Hairtail sister! Hairtail sister!"
Wu Jian immediately shouted to stop the hairtail.
The hairtail was holding a cup of boiling water that had just been poured into the tea room. He was passing by when he suddenly heard someone shouting. He subconsciously stopped and looked over with a frown.
When she saw that it was Wu Jian calling her, she frowned slightly again.
Because Wu Jian is a bit greasy, really greasy, his face and hair give people a greasy feeling all year round.
"You called me?" Hairtail asked, enduring the discomfort in his heart.
Wu Jian chuckled and nodded, "I have some good news for you. My old man, Xianyu Sun, has opened a new book. I just reviewed it for him."
After saying that, he looked at the hairtail with a smile. He was very curious about how the hairtail would react when he heard the news.
The next moment, he saw it.
Hairtail was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. His originally dull expression suddenly changed, revealing a sense of surprise, as if he suddenly no longer disliked Wu Jian.
"real?"
"Really! Realer than real gold!"
Wu Jian promised with a smile on his face.
Hairtail quickly trotted towards her work station and said, "Thank you!"
"Just leave like that?"
Wu Jian was a little disappointed.
He wanted to see her for a while longer, because as the warehousing review editor, his status in the Qidian editorial department was quite low, and even his seat was arranged near the tea room.
And there was not a single pretty female colleague within several meters of him.
Usually when I'm tired from work and want to see a beautiful colleague, I can only look at it from a distance and can't see clearly.
And this is probably one of the main reasons why he is still single in his early twenties.
…
Single people are obviously not included in the category of poverty relief by the country.
What's more, Hairtail has no interest in poverty alleviation.
She trotted back to her workstation, put down her tea cup immediately, and typed quickly on the keyboard with her hands and fingers, typing in the pen name of Xianyu A Laosun.
She still doesn’t know the title of the new book that Xianyu An Lao Sun has published this time.
But that's not important.
She didn't mention Wu Jian just now, because she knew that the new book that had just passed the storage review could not be found by searching the book title today.
But she knew that as long as his book had passed the storage review, it would definitely be searchable under his pen name.
soon.
Sure enough, she found it.
Under the pen name of Xianyu Anlaosun, in addition to "My Decathlon", "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon", "The God-Slaying Sword in the Cloud", and "The Last Wish of the Dead", there is also another book "This Dad Is Unusual"
》.
"Daddy?"
These two words surprised her.
With Sun Quan's current fame and reputation, he would actually write a novel about nanny?
Is it because he gave birth to three children that he suddenly had the urge to write a heart-warming daddy novel?
Hairtail had this doubt in her heart, but it did not affect her excitement at this time.
There is no doubt that Xianyu Anlaosun is her most popular one. In the days after his work was completed, she had been worried about whether he would still use this pen name if he opened a new book.
If Xianyu Lao Sun no longer writes books under her, her performance will be much worse, that's for sure.
Especially after the completion of "The Last Wish of the Dead" and Xianyu Sun's delay in writing a new book, her worries increased day by day.
It's fine now, he finally opened a new book.
Still at the starting point! Still under her control.
She believed that with the fame and reputation he had accumulated in the past few years, even if he wrote a novel about dads this time, his popularity would not be low.
But she still felt a little regretful in her heart.
Because she feels that with his current background, if he writes a fantasy or fairy tale, it will be much easier to sell game and film adaptation rights.
But what Dad Wen said...
Huh?
There was a sudden movement in her heart, and she somewhat guessed why his new book included stories about nanny.
Because she suddenly thought of his last book "The Last Wish of the Dead".
At that time, not long after the book was published, many people wondered why Xianyu Sun would write such a subject.
It's a city in name, but it's actually a place with a strong supernatural atmosphere.
The combat power on the monthly ticket list will obviously suffer a bit.
At that time, she also had the same doubts about the fish.
Although "The Last Wish of the Dead" was released on the shelves and won the top monthly ticket rankings several times, she was still a little confused until she heard that Xianyu An Lao Sun had invested in a Xianyu film and television company and became the director to film "The Last Wish of the Dead" himself.
》.
Facts have proved that his decision was correct.
Not long after the drama "Dead Man's Last Wish" was aired, its popularity has been rising steadily, and its reputation has remained high.
So, he is writing a new story about dad this time, and it is also for his own film and television company to adapt it into an online drama, right?
Hairtail thought about this possibility.
The more I think about it, the more I think this might be close to the truth.
Because she felt that the story about a nanny...if it was written well, it would be easy to adapt it into a TV series, and if it was made into a TV series, the identity of the male protagonist, the nanny, might be very touching.
Of course, the premise is that the book must not only be well written, but also try to match the style of the TV series, rather than the one that is currently popular at Qidian.
With some curiosity and some exploration, she read the first chapter of the book first.
It's only one chapter so far.
About an hour later, Hairtail finished reading this chapter. After reading it, she frowned a little, with doubts and emotions in her eyes.
What's puzzling is... the content of this chapter doesn't let her know what the style of this book is, and the subsequent plot has not yet unfolded.
What she felt deeply was... the male protagonist of this book made her sympathize with him.
At the beginning, his wife ran away and took away all the family's savings, leaving him with only an old father and a son who was waiting to be fed.
This is too miserable...
She tried to think about how difficult it would have been for her family if her mother had taken away the money and ran away when she was so young, leaving only her grandfather and her father to take care of her...
Of course, she quickly put this somewhat unfilial thought out of her mind, and she still felt a little ashamed of her mother, because her mother ran away without any donations and raised her like a treasure since she was a child. How could I assume that
Mom's money ran away?
Thinking of this, she laughed a little.
She moved her hands, opened QQ, found Xianyu's old Sun's account, and sent a private message to it, "Mr. Sun, you have published a new book, great! By the way, I plan to apply for a home page for you.
Great recommendation, when do you think it’s better to arrange it for you? Do I need to wait until your book has more words before I arrange it?”
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed, but Sun Quan did not reply.
Obviously, he should not be online at this time.
But Hairtail was not disappointed, she was still in a good mood and even hummed a little tune.
What does it matter if he is not online at this time?
As long as he had published a new book, she had accidentally heard a few days ago that the editor-in-chief of her group might be promoted. At that time, she was interested and felt that she had a good chance of taking over the position of editor-in-chief.
Since then, she has only been worried about one thing - if Xianyu An Lao Sun's new book is not distributed at Qidian, or if it is not distributed under her, then her promotion may be ruined.
She was worried that her boss would be angry with her.
But now, she doesn't have to worry about this anymore.
