Everyone in the conference room was so exhausted by Le Yu's words.
"But isn't this a fraud?" Mu Qingmei couldn't help but ask.
"What newspaper agency do you think you joined?" Le Yu asked.
Everyone was speechless at once - yes, the newspaper run by the Jing family would be good if they didn't smear or spread rumors. They just asked them to make up an answer. After thinking about it carefully, they even had the illusion that "this doesn't seem to be a bad thing."
"But how do we make it up?" someone asked: "We explain our views based on the issues and then make up a new identity for ourselves?"
"No, no, no." Le Yu pointed far away and said, "Speaking of which, you don't seem to know the reason why you were hired, right? Some of you are good at writing, some have deep thoughts, but some of you are straightforward and superficial in thinking...
…”
"But you have one thing in common: a good imagination."
Le Yu suddenly pointed at a young editor: "For example, you, your current identity is a young man who wants to be the village chief, your name is Naruto!"
"Oh." The young editor was stunned.
"The reason why you want to become the village chief is because your parents died when you were a child. People in the village say you are a lone star, and they hate you and stay away from you. But you are not without friends. The village chief grandpa also cares about you. Teacher Mengxue
I even treat you to noodles from time to time."
"So you want to be the village chief because you want the villagers to love and welcome you, and you want to be recognized by everyone."
"So, if you were to answer the question, 'What are we pursuing throughout our lives?', what should be the central idea in your answer?"
The young editor thought for a moment and then said firmly: "Recognition, trust, responsibility, and bond. I would feel that a person's life is a process of connecting with more people, having more companions, getting more praise, and leading everyone to live a better life."
A good life will make my life full of meaning."
"That's how it feels!" Le Yu clapped vigorously, and everyone clapped as well: "You have to put in the persona you made up, and write the answer from the perspective of the persona. You have to feel your life experience, be sad for the spring and autumn, and be different.
, that way it makes sense to publish it.”
"Is it that simple...?" A female editor was not confident about this.
"Believe me, it's easy, you will even fall in love with this feeling."
Le Yu looked at the female editor and said:
"For example, you are a poor girl and your father is seriously ill. In order to ask a medical officer to treat your father, you have to go to the Red Dream Market to sell your virginity. On that night, a young master from a wealthy chamber of commerce
He got drunk and fell in love with you. He gave you a lot of money, so you saved your father and planned to forget what happened that night. However, when you went to apply for a job, you found yourself in the young master's house.
When you were at work at the Chamber of Commerce, the young master also recognized you, but for some reason, he kept you here, as if to tease you..."
"... Just like that, after so many incidents, you have secret feelings for each other. But at this time, the president of the Chamber of Commerce has arranged a marriage for the young master, and you suddenly find that you seem to be pregnant..."
The expression of the female editor kept changing as Le Yu spoke, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes angry, and she was completely integrated into the story.
At this time, Le Yu slammed the table: "Look, do you have feelings? Do you feel that you are that unfortunate girl? Do you feel that you have a lot of emotions and a lot of words that you want to vent out?"
"Yeah!" The female editor nodded vigorously.
"Look, this is the secret of character design." Le Yu spread his hands and said: "As long as you make up a bizarre, weathered character for yourself, and see all the prosperity of the world, you will be better able to put it in and write it out.
The answer will also be true... If someone doesn't know how to make up a character for himself, you can come to me. I have a lot of spare characters, you can use them as you like, such as 'genius whose engagement was broken off', 'who possesses infinite power'
Mafia Princess', everything."
Le Yu's words and deeds are refreshing everyone in the conference room's understanding of the world - and there is such an operation!?
"There is one topic on each page, so there are three topics required for pages 2 to 4. I have already thought about it. They are "If tomorrow is the end of the world, what do you want to do?" and "When did you suddenly feel that you have grown up?
", "What is the sentence that impressed you most? Why?", I need ten people to compile answers to these three topics, and assign tasks after the meeting."
While everyone was still savoring the charm of these three topics, Leyu had already started the next topic: "On pages 5 to 8, I am going to set up a 'Weird and Interesting News' column. To put it simply, it will publish some things that ordinary people have never seen.
news."
"But where does that kind of news go..." Someone just asked halfway when he suddenly woke up and closed his mouth.
Le Yu glanced at him with relief.
What kind of newspaper office do you think this is?
Of course I made it up myself!
"Let me give you two examples." Le Yu raised two fingers: "The first example is, "As long as you eat these six kinds of food, the effect of practicing your fighting skills will be better! Please be sure to tell your family."
Then the music stopped.
Everyone waited for a while, and Mu Qingmei couldn't help but ask: "Editor-in-chief, what are the six kinds of food?"
Le Yu glanced at her with kind eyes.
"Make it up yourself."
"Ah?" Mu Qing blinked, "But, isn't this a lie? This is different from the knowledge discussion forum. If we lie to people like this, they will believe it and actually buy it..."
"Then why don't you just make up some cheap things that are rich in nutrients but not popular among people?" Le Yu sighed: "For example, bitter melon and coriander, as long as they don't kill people, that's enough. As for the effect of training tactics, it's purely
It’s a psychological effect, how do you know if today’s exercise is better than yesterday?”
"Don't lie. After all, fighting skills are closely related to mental strength, and mental strength is related to mood. You are in a good mood and feel that you are exercising better than yesterday after eating six kinds of food. Maybe it is true.
Effect."
"How can the things published in newspapers be called lies?"
Although Mu Qingmei has underestimated Jing Zhengwei's bottom line, every time Jing Zhengwei speaks can still refresh Mu Qingmei's view of him - how could such a rotten person exist?
"The second example." Le Yu said: "Surprise! A man heard a strange sound late at night. He looked for the sound and found that there was a strange noise in the tomb. When he dug the tomb, he found..."
Even with Mu Qingmei's experience, some people still couldn't help but ask: "What did you find?"
"You make up your own." Le Yu spread his hands and said: "In short, use a hot title to attract attention. As for the content, you just make up a logical and self-consistent story."
"In short, the 'weird and interesting stories' must be about things that no one has ever seen, so any story can be published, even if it is not about ordinary people."
Le Yu paused for a moment: "The story of the king not being the king and the minister not being the minister is fine, the story of the master being the master and the servant being the slave is fine, the story of the princes and generals being in love with each other is fine, the story of revenge is fine..."
Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Mu Qingmei glanced at Le Yu strangely, feeling that this "Weird and Interesting Stories" column seemed not innocent.
"Pages 9, 10, and 11 are the 'Inspirational Stories' column."
Le Yu paused and glanced at everyone.
Everyone suddenly felt as if they were in a clear mirror and nodded: "We will make it up ourselves, we will make it up ourselves."
"Don't be afraid. There is no need for you to make things up out of nothing. I will write some propositions for you, and you can just make them up."
Le Yu picked up the chalk and wrote a few titles on the blackboard at the back:
"Mining is fast and good, I will become a big mine owner in five years"
"Because he warms his master's straw sandals, a monkey servant can also get ahead"
"The workers cried when they saw the boss's daily efforts"
…
"That's it, I'll assign the task later, but this request must be in a news format. You editors must stand in a third perspective and interview the interviewee for questions and answers... You must pretend that there really is such a person."
"Understood, I promise to complete the task." The black-hearted literati who had no blood or tears said that they were very proficient.
Mu Qingmei groaned inwardly, thinking that you have finally shown your weakness.
"As for the last 12 pages..."
Le Yu paused, "I want to serialize a novel."
No one responded at all, so Mr. Jiezi asked: "What kind of novel is it? Which gentleman contributed it?"
Serializing novels in newspapers has long been a routine practice in this world. There are even "novel newspapers" that specialize in serializing novels, so everyone is not surprised by this.
"The contributor is a friend of mine," Le Yu said, "As for the type of novel, it is a future novel."
"Future novel?" Everyone was stunned.
They have never heard of this genre.
"The content of the novel is about three young people with their own strengths, Liu Yu, Yin Yin, and Wei Zheng. After their death, they accidentally traveled a hundred years later." Le Yu said: "In that era, human beings created things that were in the future.
Steel machinery flying in the sky, skyscrapers with more than 100 stories, abundant food, eliminating hunger and cold, everyone can eat meat for every meal, everyone must receive nine years of compulsory education, the entertainment economy has developed greatly, and even
Build a spaceship and successfully explore the bright moon in the sky..."
"It sounds like this is a very imaginative fantasy work." Jie Zifu praised.
"Yeah, I think so too." Le Yu said.
Mr. Jiezi asked considerately: "Isn't one page not enough? Do you want to prepare an extra page for this work?"
Le Yu quickly shook her head: "No, just one page, one page is enough."
At this point, Le Yu actually regretted it a little.
