Cui Geng was eating Moyu takeout while listening to everyone's chatter.
"Hey, yesterday I was scolded by readers for breaking the chapter again."
"What's the matter? Isn't it normal to be scolded out of context?"
"It's just such a small thing as breaking the chapter."
"Ah? Is everyone so accustomed to it?"
"Nonsense, when you watch a TV series or anime, don't you have to leave you with suspense in the last few minutes? Readers scold you for breaking the chapter, but you are actually very honest. I will come over and read the next chapter as soon as it is updated. It can be very satisfying.
It is a good way to increase reader stickiness.”
"If you don't stop reading, readers will put it down after reading this chapter, and their subscriptions for the next chapter will definitely drop!"
"So, an author who doesn't break chapters is not a good author!"
Listening to the discussion, many people nodded frequently, and some authors smiled slightly and were noncommittal.
Cui Geng looked at the calendar. He came to Jingzhou last Thursday, and exactly one week has passed.
At the beginning, everyone was not familiar with each other, so the communication issues were relatively superficial.
Nowadays, most people already know each other, and there is no taboo on chatting with some authors who are close to each other.
Naturally, some exchanges about coding skills are indispensable.
Cui Geng took out his phone and looked at his comment area.
"It's so scary. The pigeon spirit has been updated five times every day this week. At first, I doubted whether he had been kidnapped. But now there is no need to doubt it. He has definitely been kidnapped!"
“It feels like it’s become a little watery, but it’s still great!”
"Hold on, pigeon spirit. In one more week, this recommendation ticket in my hand will be yours!"
Cui Geng looked at these comments with mixed emotions.
I have to say that explosive updates are indeed useful...
As soon as the number of updates came up, the number of follow-up orders, all orders, and all kinds of tickets were much higher than before.
From last week to now, Cui Geng has been able to update an average of 8,000 to 10,000 updates every day, which was simply unimaginable for him before.
Moreover, the increase in word count is mainly due to the increase in working hours, rather than deliberate watering down, so the quality of the updates is still guaranteed.
Of course, there are some perverts who not only code during working hours during the day, but also use their laptops to code another chapter and organize the outline when they go home at night. They are simply beasts.
Of course Cui Geng wouldn't do this. He just writes honestly for eight hours a day, averaging more than a thousand words an hour. This speed is not fast, but it is quite impressive for him.
Once he developed a habit, Cui Geng actually enjoyed this state.
It has to be said that under certain conditions, coding can be addictive.
But now Cui Geng has encountered a little problem.
While eating the take-out meal from Moyu, he raised his troubles at the table: "Everyone, I feel that the progress is a little too fast recently and I can't continue writing. What should I do?"
Everyone looked at him and said in unison: "Cut it."
Cui Geng: "..."
When it comes to this kind of thing, these unscrupulous writers instantly become unscrupulous.
It is a daily routine among authors to persuade people who have better grades than themselves to cut their books.
Of course, I can’t blame everyone for this, it’s mainly because there are too many authors who pretend to be cool because of their “cavinity”.
Therefore, when encountering this kind of pretentious situation, most people will choose to preemptively end the topic with the words "Let's cut it."
Cui Geng was speechless. He did have this problem, mainly because the outline of the book he was currently writing was not well developed from the beginning.
The results were okay, and the plot wasn't too bad, but the pretentiousness was low at the beginning.
Originally, Cui Geng only planned to write two to three thousand words every day, so he should be able to write for a long time in a steady stream. However, there was a sudden burst of 81,000 words recently, and he suddenly found that the main plot of the story could no longer hold up.
It is estimated that after writing about one million words, the book will be completed.
How is this done!
Of course, as an author who habitually messes up his work, it is not terrible. After cutting it many times, he has already become familiar with it, and he doesn’t even have to look down when wielding the knife.
But, what should I write after cutting it?
Cui Geng simply had no clue.
After lunch, Zhu Xing'an said: "Give everyone an hour to upload what they wrote in the morning and take a break."
"According to the schedule this afternoon, we will visit Jingzhou, do activities, change our thinking, and accumulate materials by the way."
"Everyone, hurry up and meet downstairs in the hotel in an hour."
…
…
In the car, Pei Qian was very sleepy and drowsy.
The course with the closed-book exam is finally over.
He has been studying hard these days and doesn't pay much attention to the company's affairs.
Fortunately, the surprise recitation did have some effect. Pei Qian estimated that he would have to score more than 70 points in the exam, right?
If you pass the exam with Krypton Gold, you will probably get a score of 60 points, but if you can get 70 points by yourself, that is something to be proud of!
Pei Qian felt that his review during this period was finally in vain, and he could just strive to be a little higher than Lao Ma when the time comes.
"There are three open-book exams coming up, so you shouldn't have to worry so much."
"It's almost time to keep an eye on the company's affairs."
"Strange, I always feel like I've forgotten something."
Pei Qian tried hard for two seconds to try to recall, but quickly gave up.
I just finished the exam and my brain is in a relaxed state, which is really not suitable for recalling.
What's more, there are so many industries now that Pei Qian is a little overwhelmed and can't remember them all.
He yawned and decided to go back to his residence and take a nap first.
Xiao Sun's car drove smoothly, but Pei Qian couldn't sleep even if he was wearing a seat belt, so he had to take out his phone, open the Endpoint app, and start chasing.
Pei Qian has a wide range of hobbies, including animation, TV dramas, games, movies, etc. He likes them all, but he doesn't study any of them deeply.
After all, it's purely for entertainment. There's no point in studying something so professional. It's just fun.
Pei Qian had always watched it on Infinite before, because it had a complete range of categories and novel themes.
As for the end point...
On the one hand, it's because everything before the end is too rubbish and Pei Qian can't stand it; on the other hand, it's because he instinctively doesn't want to support his own industry.
But recently, he has gradually begun to look at the finish line.
In the final analysis, it is still for work.
Pei Qian felt that he had to pay more attention to the status of the terminal, because the terminal was already profitable.
Previously, Ma Yiqun wanted to hand over a profit, but Pei Qian decisively refused, but until now, Pei Qian has not asked where Ma Yiqun spent the money.
On the one hand, I was too busy so I forgot about it, and on the other hand, it would not be in line with Mr. Pei’s personality if I asked too frequently.
Pei Qian felt that as long as he kept an eye on the final app, he would be able to grasp the trends of this website very well.
I have to say that there has indeed been a lot of high-quality content in Destination recently, and there are a few books that Pei Qian can finally read.
It is now 2011, and the hot-blooded fantasy routine of "Don't bully young people into poverty" is generally popular. Most of the top rankings are fantasy and fairy tale themes. Many great gods have become gods in the past two years.
Of course, the name of the website has changed, and the specific book is different from what Pei Qian remembers.
But regardless of whether it was the same or not, Pei Qian read it the same way, because he had already forgotten all the books he had read.
The library at the end basically follows the pace of Infinite. These fantasy books can basically be regarded as copycat versions of Infinite's popular books.
Pei Qian reads it quite casually. When he sees a topic he is interested in on the home page, he will pursue it for a while. When he gets tired of reading it, he will silently delete the book. Most books cannot catch up with the latest chapters.
But when he refreshed the bookshelf today, Pei Qian was suddenly stunned.
Several books in his collection were neatly updated with a single chapter just two hours ago, probably around 12:30.
Pei Qian frowned, vaguely feeling that this was a bit weird.
What could allow so many authors to update a single chapter at the same time?
Large-scale py activity?
He quickly clicked on a book to check the updated single chapter of the book.
"Dear readers, there are only two chapters today. Because the website organized a group activity in the afternoon, I was briefly released from prison and went to Jingzhou to tour and collect materials. I will continue to add more chapters tomorrow!!"
Below the chapter, there are already many comments from readers.
"That's right! I see that you have updated a lot recently. Don't be tired. Take a good rest and finish the seventy or eighty chapters tomorrow."
"Sure enough, they were kidnapped by robbers! And they kidnapped so many authors at once!"
"Hahahaha, is 'temporarily released from jail' okay?"
"An author said before that he should attend a study class. I thought it was just an ordinary lecture. At that time, I also said that the study class is useless, hurry up and update it! But now I look at it, what kind of study class is this? This is the official
Little dark room! Well done!”
"In the past few days, even a few pigeons have been able to keep up with the four times. I strongly urge this class to continue to be held!"
"Can I add more people to the study class? I have a perennial beast here who needs to go to the study class to receive re-education!"
"To be honest, I think this study class is good in every aspect, but I don't know why recent authors seem to like to break chapters? Does the training you received in the class also include professional training in breaking chapters???"
Looking at the comments from readers, Pei Qian was confused.
At the same time, there was a vague feeling that was not good.
Through these readers' comments, Pei Qian quickly determined one thing. Ma Yiqun had indeed spent the money on mid-level authors. He arranged for these authors to go to Jingzhou and held a study class, which significantly improved their creations.
efficiency!
As for how efficiency is specifically improved...
I’m afraid it won’t be in line with the spirit of Tengda!
Pei Qian was a little speechless. This group of horses actually made such a fuss under my nose!
At present, it seems that the status of this group of middle-level authors is getting better and better. Not only has the number of updates increased, many ideas have burst out during the continuous communication process, and the plot and writing skills have also improved to a certain extent!
If there is a great author among these people who becomes famous instantly, how much traffic will it bring to the terminal!
You must know that the most important thing in the cultural industry is content. Without content, everything is in vain.
For many consumers, the reason for downloading a live broadcast platform client is often just because of a host they like; and the reason for becoming a loyal user of a website is often just because of a book they like to read.
Piracy is almost extinct in this world. If you really want to read a good book, you can only go to this designated website to read it. There will not be a situation where the author has worked hard and the popularity is all profited by the pirated website.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt the danger behind this.
He called Ma Yiqun and asked for the specific address of the online author training class at the end of the line. Then he said to Xiao Sun: "Turn around and go to the suburbs first."
