I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 132 Old Zhang, Old Zhang, Where Are My Books?

"Congratulations on getting the current goal achievement reward: script +2, free attribute points +2"

"Congratulations to the host for completing an adaptation of a script and gaining a sub-profession: 1 point of screenwriting experience."

"Host sub-profession: screenwriter has met the upgrade requirements, whether to upgrade. Note: sub-professional incentives will increase with the occupation level, and the current sub-professional goals will be greatly increased."

"upgrade."

"Host sub-profession: Screenwriter upgraded to level 2."

The current task of the assistant professional screenwriter was completed, and the little experience gained allowed Ji Zhuo to upgrade the assistant professional screenwriter to the second level.

As for the rewards of the current mission, Ji Zhuo, who is used to seeing the reward values ​​of the main profession, seems to have no feeling at all.

Maybe the free attribute points have a special value?
But looking at those two free attribute points,

Ji Zhuo thought about it, since it is the reward for the screenwriter's current task, he might as well add it to the script.

Anyway, the incentive money for the sub-profession of screenwriting seems to be like that.

then.

On the system interface,
Main occupation: The relevant attributes and tasks of writers have not changed.
It's just that the current task of the sub-profession has been updated, and the value has changed a little.

"Subprofession: Screenwriter (0/2)"

"Script: 8"

"Associate professional screenwriter task goal for the current period: According to the current professional level, the requirement is to create or adapt a film and television animation and other scripts. The total number of viewers of the film and television animation corresponding to the script exceeds 100 million within a certain period of time. The animation corresponding to the script is not Less than 12 episodes. The praise must not be lower than 80.00%.

Note: To count the number of movie viewers, the audience needs to watch 80.00% of the content of the corresponding feature film. If the conditions are not met, they will not be counted.

Current incentives: 20% corresponds to the actual total investment in film and television animation projects. "

The upgrade experience required for the screenwriter sub-job seems to be similar to that of the main job.

After the sub-profession is upgraded, the changes in the current tasks and incentives of the sub-profession seem to mean that the number of viewers of the film and television drama corresponding to the script will exceed 100 million... almost doubled.

But the encouragement money seems to have doubled... so the calculation...

The incentive money for sub-professionals seems to be the same, almost like fire fighting.

After glancing at the various changes of the assistant professional screenwriter, Ji Zhuo looked away.

As for the main job, isn't this issue over yet?

Although the readers shouted fiercely, they didn't rush the sales to [-] today!
Close the system interface,

Ji Zhuo's mobile phone has already turned on the broken station,
As soon as I entered the site, I saw the recommendation of the finale of the first season of the anime "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" on the homepage.
Ji Zhuo clicked in, and the video started playing automatically.
The billowing barrage also rolled out from the right side of the screen.

"...It's started, it's started, and the finale is all about flowers."

"Forget about the finale, when will the next season come out..."

"I came here to scold a dog. The author should have gone to the right place, right?"

Ji Zhuo turned off the barrage.

She looked up beautifully.

……

"...Editor Qian, all bookstores have sent out orders to restock."

"There are also some bookstore booksellers who haven't bought in before, and want to buy some..."

"Is there any stock in the warehouse?"

"The last two hundred copies will be sent to Dehua Bookstore this afternoon."

"Where's the printing house?"

"The printing factory has already started working overnight with extra money, but no matter how soon a new batch of books will be delivered tomorrow morning."

"Then let the online and offline bookstores, booksellers, etc. tell them that we are out of stock..."

At this moment, Editor-in-Chief Qian of Huating Publishing House was excited and had a headache,

Excited by the hot sales of "Bird in a Cage", various online and offline channel bookstores,

Under the impact of the enthusiasm of Ji Zhuo book fans who have held back for more than a month, it was sold out of stock.

The headache was that no matter how bold he was, he would never have imagined that the first [-] copies would be sold out in just three days.

Every bookstore has sent a replenishment purchase order, but the publishing house is out of stock.

Now he is wondering if there are fewer than [-] reprints.

Although he knew that the fanatical enthusiasm of these book fans must only last for a day or two,

When this group of people have bought the book, the sales of "The Bird in the Cage" will still stabilize and gradually flow steadily.

But I still can't help but wonder... Can a hundred thousand instincts withstand the enthusiasm of this wave of people?

It always feels like it's not enough.

correct,

I just communicated with 'Mr. Bugong' and asked 'Mr. Bugong' to sign the autograph book,

But right now, not to mention the two hundred autographed books that he sent, the "Bird in a Cage" that he put on the table and read by himself will be sold.

It seems that we can only wait for the arrival of a new batch of printed goods tomorrow.

Editor-in-chief Qian is troubled,

But troubled and troubled, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

It's been a long time since the publishing house's books are so popular that they are out of stock.

such a pity,
That is to say, the goods are not enough, otherwise I feel that today's sales volume must not be more than 2 today, and it may be even higher.

Maybe this is the trouble of happiness...

……

"...Dog author, I am so mad! Return the knife to me!"

Yun Qingmu's room.

Yun Qingmu and Yun Xinxin sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, holding a book, "Bird in a Cage".

It wasn't that Yun Qingmu really only wanted to buy a copy with her sister... She really didn't get it.

Yun Qingmu's book was bought yesterday, and when Yun Xinxin wanted to buy it after get off work today, all online and offline bookstores were already sold out.

Looking at the Internet, the dog author "Bird in a Cage" is out of stock and has become a hot search on social platforms, although it is at the end.

At this moment, Yun Qingmu and Yun Xinxin watched "The Bird in the Cage",
I can't help but hate these depressing plots in the novel.

Especially the descriptions of some episodes of the plot, the changes between the protagonist Wu Mu and the surroundings, and the soliloquy between Wu Mu and the bird are inexplicably uncomfortable.

The protagonist Wu Mu is full of despair. Even though he guessed and deduced many things, he seems to have seen the essence of the world in the book.

But the more you know, the more you despair, and this despair spreads to the reader through the pages of the book.

It makes readers uncomfortable.

I kept seeing the finale, and the bird that was released in the finale made readers feel even more uncomfortable.
Because the bird flew out of the cage, but Wu Mu was still in the house,
Regardless of whether it is rainy or sunny outside the window, he can only look out from the window.

After watching the ending, Yun Xinxin and Yun Qingmu were silent.

After a long time, Yun Xinxin spoke first,

"Actually, this ending is not bad... The flying bird can be regarded as a kind of hope and a beautiful sustenance to escape from bondage... I feel that this is the last kindness of the dog author."

"How can there be any kindness, the bird has flown, but the person is still in the house, and the protagonist is left alone!"

Yun Qingmu answered.

The more Yun Xinxin remained silent, the more uncomfortable she felt.

This may be the different understanding of the same novel by different readers.

"...Sister, you might as well not tell me. It makes me feel even more uncomfortable listening to you."

"...Hmph, dog author..."

This ending is like this, not as exciting as the climax plot,
But the aftertaste is deep and long, after a long time, I accidentally think of it, and I want to stab you again,
Makes people uncomfortable, sad for a long time.

"...but the ending... makes the book even better."

"...Well, it's a good book."

Yun Qingmu also agrees with this point.

But Ji Zhuo's face appeared in his mind again,
She hated it again, and she always felt that the author of the dog might have a sinister intention to make readers uncomfortable when writing these plots!
"30 per second: Dog author! Did you deliberately write so uncomfortable, I deeply doubt your sinister intentions!"

Yun Qingmu sent Ji Zhuo a message, and received a reply from Ji Zhuo.

"Clumsy and uncommon: yes.

Clumsy and uncommon: But if you feel uncomfortable as a reader, then the author should feel several times as uncomfortable as you. The author can't let the readers immerse themselves in emotions deeper and longer. "

Seeing this news, Yun Qingmu became a little silent,

After a pause, Yun Qingmu cautiously replied to the message,
"30 per second: Well...then are you okay?"

"Clumsy and uncommon: It's okay, I'm strong."

"30 per second:..."

It suddenly felt that Ji Zhuo's words were not so credible.

"Hiccup..."

Watching anime always makes me feel a little bit mean.
So I took out a can of happy water from the refrigerator and watched it while drinking.

Looking at the chat records with Yun Qingmu again,
Ji Zhuo then watched the anime finale of "Mortal Cultivating Immortals".

He's telling the truth, as some authors are anyway.

"Hiccup..."

……

capital.

In a slightly old residential building,

The lights were still on in the study of a family, and the study was very quiet.

A middle-aged man in his fifties finished his work,

Then he glanced at the computer screen that was still on on the desk in front of him.

The chat history between him and another person was displayed on the screen.

"Old Xu of the National Library: Old Zhang, I heard that you are selecting outstanding science fiction works of the year to encourage literary creation?"

"Zhang Mingguo: That's right. In recent years, there haven't been many outstanding and outstanding works in China. Do you know this form now? We still have to encourage the creation of our local works. Culture is a big deal."

"Zhang Mingguo: It was discussed internally, and it is considered a small award. In fact, it is not only science fiction, but also plans to select some other ones, encourage and encourage them, and help publicize them. Good works should be seen by the public more.

Zhang Mingguo: What, what good books did you find in this library that you would recommend to me?Let me tell you first, I don't go through the back door here.

Old Xu of the National Library: There is really a book recommended for you. Don’t worry, this book is recommended for you. After you read it, you may have to buy me a drink.

Zhang Mingguo: Old Xu, you admire it so much, so I have to read it. What's the name of the book?

Lao Xu: "Bird in a Cage", didn't the library collect excellent online literature works before? This is the author I discovered this time. This "Bird in a Cage" is his new book. In fact, his previous books are also good, you can also have a look.

Zhang Mingguo: Was it serialized online?The quality of the books serialized on the Internet is also good now, right?

Lao Xu: The Internet is just a carrier, and the author and readers decide what content to create.Over the years, there are always some excellent works in all aspects.But this is not, it is the work published by the author entity.

Zhang Mingguo: Okay, then I will definitely find time to take a look. "

Then the chat history goes here and then down,
Another few hours passed.

"Zhang Minguo: Old Xu...the book you recommended is out of stock...I also read the reviews on the Internet, and it seems to be good. It makes my heart itch. Do you have the book?

Lao Xu: Lao Zhang... I recommend books to you, but you still want to snatch them from me?
Zhang Mingguo: Isn't this the book you recommended to me, Mr. Xu?I can't find you if I can't find the book.

Old Xu: All right, all right, I'll ask a delivery man to deliver it to you..."

Chat history is here.

Zhang Mingguo looked back,

Picked up the book "The Bird in the Cage" from the desk,
The reviews on the Internet and the recommendations of old friends have already made him have certain expectations for this book.

The sentence in the introduction on the title page paused,
Only then did Zhang Mingguo continue to scroll down,

Then slowly looked up.

From the appearance of the protagonist Wu Mu at the beginning of the chapter and the reception of extraterrestrial signals by various monitoring stations,

Then from the two problems brought about by the extraterrestrial signals, some gifts, the chain effects induced,
Then to the changes induced by this in the whole society and the three scenes where the protagonist Wu Mu pays attention to ants, livestock, and birds in cages,
Zhang Mingguo watched more slowly and more carefully,

Gradually immersed in it, as a simple reader,
Emotional ups and downs with the changes in the plot of the book,
Depression, despair, excitement, the emotions of the characters in the book also infect the readers,
From the plot to Wu Mu's understanding of the essence of the status quo under the night...

It wasn't until Zhang Mingguo's wife knocked on the door that Zhang Mingguo had no choice but to stop.
"Dong dong."

"I said, why is the light still on? I thought you should have come back to sleep long ago, but it was only when I got up that night that there was no one beside the bed."

"It's the middle of the night, why don't you sleep?"

"I'm reading a book. It's really well written. There's still a little left. I'll go to bed after reading it."

The wife shook her head, but didn't say much,

He just took another coat and put it on Zhang Mingguo, and watched it together with Zhang Mingguo.

Then... Both of them were immersed in the world of the book,
And then until the finale.

The sky outside the house is not yet bright, but the birds on the trees in the community have already called,

The pages stop at the last page of the Great Solution,
The two couples who read the book stopped their movements and remained silent.

"... This ending is really uncomfortable to watch."

"Actually, as the book says, in a short period of time, the civilizations outside the distant galaxy did not have such a profound and obvious impact, but this matter itself makes those who know it desperate."

"People don't want to be a bird in a cage, a pig in a pen, or an ant following sugar water. Although the civilization in the book has a present, it has no future..."

The couple talked about the plot and commented on the book,
"...This book is very good, it's a good science fiction book, but if I read it a second time, I'm afraid I won't want to read it."

"It's painful to watch."

Zhang Mingguo's wife finally smiled and said aloud.

"...Yeah...but it's a good book."

The despair hidden in the whole book has been spreading until the ending is completely exposed.

It was as uncomfortable to watch as if a stone had been pressed on the heart.

"...This ending is also a good ending."

Zhang Mingguo added another sentence.

At the same time, after reading this book, I also made up my mind.

Such a good book should indeed be seen by more readers.

He should invite Lao Xu to drink tea.

Ok……

Lao Xu said that this author has other books, I don’t know how, it seems to be on the Internet, so you should be able to read them directly?

Thinking about it, Zhang Mingguo couldn't help touching the computer.
I was just blindsided by the wife next to me,
"What are you doing? What else are you busy with? It's almost dawn, why don't you go to sleep?"

Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, Zhang Mingguo hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep, I'm going to sleep... I don't have any work, I just want to read other works by this author..."

"Then I have to go to bed and watch it again. How old are you still suffering like this... Well, what's the author's name."

"'Bu Gong', but there are two other names used on the Internet, called 'Era Coincidence' and 'Yu Cheng Qi'"

"Hey, there are so many pseudonyms?"

"I also don't understand why there are so many pseudonyms... But they seem to like to do this when they are authors, and each of them has several pseudonyms in use."

"That's right, among those famous writers, none of them have more than ten or twenty pseudonyms."

Zhang Mingguo read all night and went back to his room to rest.

But he was on the penguin chat, and there was another message.

"Old Xu: Old Zhang, have you finished reading the book? There is still some left in my book.

Lao Xu: I just want you to help select your excellent works for this author. Don't be greedy for my book.

Old Xu: Old Zhang?Zhang Mingguo? "
