I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 261 "Imperial Epic" Awarded

"My friends, it's this writer's work again."

"There are quite a few writers and colleagues in the publishing house. I believe we have met in another award review and jointly made the decision to award the award to this author."

"What about this time?"

Meanwhile, the white flag states of Europe.

The review meeting of the Europa Prize for Literature is being held again and again,

The discussion determines the winner of the most important award of the Europa Prize for Literature, the best novel.

In front of each judge, there is one or several books, which are basically the works they support or appreciate.

The person who presided over the review meeting this time is the editor-in-chief of the Baiqiguo Branch of North Publishing House.
Because the award-winning popular work "Empire Epic" is somewhat related to North Publishing House,
He chose not to participate in the voting and presided over the meeting.

He smiled, as if it was a joke.

Most of the jury members present will also smile heartily on their faces,

Most of what they had in front of them and what they were holding in their hands were "Empire Epics", and they had obviously made a decision.
Only occasionally a few judges showed hesitation on their faces.

"Mr. Okano, we don't deny the excellence of the "Epic of the Empire", but the two important literary awards of the same White Flag country were awarded to the same person in the same year, right... "The Epic of the Empire" does not need ours Awards to prove, to tell more readers how good he is, he is already good enough. Perhaps we can reserve such an opportunity for the new works of our writers from the White Flag State.”

A hesitant reviewer said this aloud.

Many people hesitated to say this, but many people were angry.

And Okano, who has some relationship with the "Epic of the Empire" in the publishing house, smiled,

"But our Europa Prize for Literature is an excellent and fair award, isn't it? It's not that we want to give such an award to this excellent work, but that award belongs to its place."

There were fewer people who hesitated just now, but they all looked at the person who spoke just now,
On the contrary, Okano of North Press did not finish his sentence.

"In addition, our Europa Literary Award is the first award facing the official publication of "Empire Epic". Maybe it has won enough awards in the future, and there will not be so many people paying attention to which award was not awarded to him.

But now, everyone will remember that it was supposed to be the "Epic of the Empire" that got the first honor, and it fell to Bie Deshu, um, maybe some writer from the White Flag country... If we don't award this award to him if. "

"It's not the Imperial Epic that needs our award, it's our award that needs him. Gentlemen..."

The judge who was watching by the judges, the judge who spoke aloud just now,
Finally he let out a sigh of relief, nodded, and felt a little more relaxed.
He also picked up the "Imperial Epic" placed in front of him.

"It seems that we have successfully reached an agreement."

Okano looked at the "Imperial Epic" held up in the hands of each judge, with a smile on his face.

Perhaps the editor-in-chief of Burt Press should treat him to dinner.

"Then, the winner of this year's Europa Prize for Best Novel is The Imperial Epic and its author."

Hearing Okano announce the result,
Most of the judges showed smiles again, happy for this matter of course,
As for some judges who had other ideas, they also had smiles on their faces.

There are some messy thoughts in my heart.

For example, maybe the awarding time of the White Flag State should be moved to a later date,
How come I always bump into the release of this author's new book.

……

"Hiccup..."

"Brother, eat two skewers together?"

"Okay. Sit down, little brother, and I'll cook a few more skewers."

this time,
Ji Zhuo is eating barbecue in the barbecue restaurant that the owner of the barbecue stall now runs.

After taking a sip of Coke, Ji Zhuo hiccupped again.

Seeing that there is almost no one in the store at this moment, the boss who is busy cleaning up the tables in the store after the people leave,

He greeted him loudly.

The boss responded with a smile, and then went outside to grill some skewers on the barbecue stove.

When you come again,
How many skewers of barbecue are there, and another plate is brought over.

"Brother, do you have too many strings?"

"Ha ha……"

The boss himself laughed,
"It's okay, brother, please, if you can't finish eating, little brother, you can pack it back for supper."

"This is my supper."

Ji Zhuo is familiar with the owner of this barbecue restaurant, it seems that he is also familiar.

But I've only met a few times in total.

He didn't even bother to ask for his name.

But the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water,
That's not bad.

"...Brother, do you still remember the last time you said that you like to read novels that are stories about a little bit of struggle, starting from the smallest things?"

"Yeah, what's the matter, little brother has a novel you recommend me to read?"

The two were picking up skewers.

Ji Zhuo was still drinking his Coke, and the owner of the barbecue shop started to think about opening a can of beer, and after thinking about it, he also took a bottle of iced Coke.

The two just said a few words casually.

"Hmm... have you heard of "Epic of Empires"?"

Well, because it should be counted as a story that started at the end of the day... It started from a primitive tribe, so it should be at the end of the day.

Ji Zhuo pondered.

"I seem to have heard... hiss... I seem to have caught a glimpse of it on the news."

In the information age, under the bombardment of information, it is difficult for you not to see some popular news, especially when it overlaps with your usual information receiving area.

"But I didn't read carefully what was said... If you recommend it, little brother, I'll take a look at it another day."

Haha laughed, and the owner of the barbecue stand responded.

Ji Zhuo also smiled, the two of them ate barbecue, and then chatted casually.

"...Hey, why didn't you see sister-in-law today?"

"Didn't the child in the house come back from vacation today? I'll let your sister-in-law go back to accompany the child first."

"In that case, I'd better pack this barbecue and go home."

"Brother, bring me a packing bag."

"Hey, don't worry, there are already many people in the store today."

"What's wrong, my brother is reluctant to part with this barbecue?"

"That's not true... that's okay, I'll pack it for you. Thanks, little brother. The children in this room haven't come back for a long time, so I really want to go back and have a look."

"Then I'll talk to you another day."

Ji Zhuo walked back to the residence with the packed barbecue.

The owner of the barbecue shop waited for Ji Zhuo to pass by, then quickly packed up his things and closed the shop.

……

"sough……"

Back in the community, it was already late at night.

Ji Zhuo took the bag for packing barbecue all the way, and touched a skewer of barbecue all the way out to eat from time to time.

When I walked to the community, there was only a bag of barbecue sticks left in the bag.

Stuffing it in the trash can beside him, Ji Zhuo raised his head and looked at the night sky,

The weather is quite clear tonight, and after the surrounding lights are turned off quite a bit late at night, I can see a few more bright stars,
That round of bright moon hangs obliquely on one side.

Stars... well, stars...

It seems that I have to post an update that was put on the shelves in the early morning later?
Ji Zhuo walked back into the house.

……

"歘...歘..."

In the middle of the night, pen and ink had already left work.

But right now, he was lying on the bed and still not asleep.

Today, the new book "Star Dream" by the author of the dog is on the shelves.
He couldn't sleep without watching the new chapters of "Star Dream".

On the page of "Star Dream", I kept dragging the page, then let go, dragged again, and then let go.

Just refresh the page.

Refreshing the page was naturally silent, but he could feel the buzzing sound in his heart.

"Shh..."

Refresh it again, the author of the dog is naturally not updated yet,

After all, it was not past twelve o'clock.

Then exit the main page of "Star Dream",
But it is not the page of non-ink novels.

It is an exclusive page recommended by "Star Dream".

""Star Dream" will be released at twelve o'clock in the morning tonight, come and support it!"

This is the word on top.

"Crush the subscription record of "Star Dream" and win wonderful gifts."

Here's the little activity underneath.

Next, there are comments from readers.

This page is naturally a masterpiece of pen and ink.

Ji Zhuo himself does not post his testimonials and does not announce the release date.

Then the website will help him post it, and it happens to be a recommendation for listing.

right now,

Looking at this page, pen and ink is really a little scared.

Afraid... The author of the dog has already fallen asleep at the moment.

Then I woke up until noon tomorrow before getting up to update.

It doesn't feel like something the dog author can't do.

"...Brothers, you are sleeping, get up!"

"It looks like honey has been smeared on the small mouth."

"One hour countdown!"

"Countdown for half an hour!"

"People, people! Everyone, come quickly, the new book of the dog author is about to hit the shelves!"

"At first I thought the author of the dog would break the chapter today, but I didn't expect to miss the author of the dog, and there is still in the early morning."

"I feel like I still have a knife... But it's okay, I'll go to sleep after watching it and crying."

Then I glanced at the buzzing comments at the bottom of the dedicated page.

The pen and ink saw that the time was almost up, so I clicked on "Star Dream".

Well, it's midnight.

Once refreshed...

The latest chapter, updated six hours ago...

The dog author hasn't updated yet?
Looking at this page, pen and ink felt that his heart was half a beat slow.

I was already thinking about whether to send Ji Zhuo a penguin message to remind me, or just make a phone call.

Maybe the author fell asleep?

In this kind of messy thoughts, the pen and ink refreshed again,
Then let go,

Updated, updated... Although there are only two chapters, the author of the dog is not surprised.

Moreover, this book seems to be a medium-length novel, and the update is too fast. He is afraid that the author will finish it in a few days.

Hmm... I forgot, after the background update, the reader interface will take a minute or two to refresh...

Scared me, maybe I should find a web programmer to worship the sky...

Pen and ink is full of messy thoughts in my head,

Then, quickly, he opened the editing background.

He wanted to see how well the dog author's new book was on the shelves.

……

"Star Dream"

"The total number of words is 11W, the collection is 112W, the recommendation ticket is 563W, the total number of rewards is 9.8W, and the monthly ticket is 13W.

The maximum subscription for a single chapter is 1.5w, and the average subscription is 1.5w. "

After Ji Zhuo updated the two chapters on the shelves,

Just go back to the background to refresh and read the various data.

Looking at this data, the first reaction in Ji Zhuo's mind was,

Fortunately, it wasn't a novel used for missions, otherwise it would have been finished on the first day it was put on the shelves.

Then the second reaction in my mind was... It seems that "The Epic of the Empire" is not much better.

Then... Ji Zhuo sighed again.

I just feel boring...

Hey……

Sighing again, Ji Zhuo temporarily put aside other thoughts,
Looking at Xingxingmeng's current data again.

With this data, it is much better than the previous "Hour Hand",

Whether it is a collection or other data.

It should be that the total number of readers of non-ink novels has also increased.

Maybe it has attracted many readers from its owner Shiyue Novels.

Of course, there are other sources of readers... such as readers who followed Ji Zhuo's physical book.

But this subscription data...

Ji Zhuo just posted an update, has it been 1 minute?
Are these readers here all the time or have auto-subscriptions turned on?
Didn't I post an announcement?

Oh...they were probably posted by the Feimo novel website.

Hey... Sure enough, non-mo novels are unreliable.

Fortunately, "Star Dream" is a book of "Mingxiu Plank Road".

thinking,

Ji Zhuo refreshed it again.

"The maximum subscription for a single chapter is 2, and the average subscription is 2."

Looking at this data... Ji Zhuo didn't feel much.

I have seen a lot of wind and waves...

In addition, there are more rewards,
I guess some readers are giving rewards, right?
Ji Zhuo opened the non-ink novel and glanced at it.

I saw a few large reward banners floating over.

"The author of the dog's new book is on the shelf to reward "Star Dream"..."

"The special reminder number for the author of the dog to reward "Star Dream"..."

This group of sand sculpture readers are still as enthusiastic as ever.

Ji Zhuo glanced again,

just slipped away.

I didn't read the comments again, and I didn't refresh the background data.

Turned off the computer and went to sleep.

……

And the other side.

After reading the background data of "Star Dream",

Still too excited to sleep,

This subscription score should still break the record!
The subscription of this "Star Dream" may be even higher than that of "Hour Hand"!

Haha!

His face was full of excitement and flushed red, and the pen and ink was holding a mobile phone, constantly refreshing the data that could be seen in the editing background,

Every time I refresh, I see the rapid growth of "Star Dream" subscription data,

The pen and ink was very exciting, and it just kept stimulating his nerves, making him so excited that he couldn't sleep most of the night.

At first, I was not satisfied with leaning on the head of the bed, and then I sat up again,
Then I was so excited that I wanted to walk back and forth in the bedroom.

The subscription results of "Star Dream" perfectly met expectations, and even exceeded expectations.

This is not his year-end award as an editor, and the quarterly award is not stable.

Even the position of editor-in-chief of Feimo novels can't be considered,

The editor-in-chief has authors like the dog author under him, and the editor-in-chief...

Oh, the contract between the dog author and the website was made by the editor-in-chief...that's fine.

But pen and ink is still very exciting.

For the website, because of the contract with Ji Zhuo, in fact, Ji Zhuo's novels alone can't make much money.

But because Ji Zhuo's works are serialized in non-mo novels, the new readers brought by them are the most important and most precious wealth of non-mo novels.

Even some time ago, Bimo received complaints from his former colleagues at Shiyue.com,

It is said that many readers lost their novels from the beginning because the dog author was in non-mo novels, and went to non-mo novels.

Regarding this...Bi Mo naturally smiled on his face, and comforted him on the penguin chat,
It's okay, they are all in the same family, and they are all relatives.

What he got in exchange was naturally a blank stare.

But the pen and ink is still smiling, even wanting to laugh out loud.

Hmm... as the dog author's influence continues to expand.

That is bound to bring a large number of new readers to non-ink novels.

And the readers who came to Feimo Fiction because of Ji Zhuo are basically paying readers.

Ok……

In this case, the contracts signed with Ji Zhuo before are still not generous enough.

Although the previous contract was generous enough.

For example, the copyright of Ji Zhuo's novels is completely owned by Ji Zhuo himself, and the electronic subscription share is not much from the website.

But think about Ji Zhuo's influence and influence on the website.

The contract is still not generous enough.

Thinking of this, the excitement gradually faded away,
started thinking about it,
Then he picked up his phone and started sending messages to the editor-in-chief to discuss.

As for whether the editor-in-chief slept or not... To be honest, he didn't believe that the editor-in-chief could sleep when "Star Dream" was released tonight.

……

And this time.

On the other side, another editor-in-chief was also excited.

Europa, Burt Press.

There is about a six-hour time difference between Possession and Obsession,
It's just late in the evening when I'm about to get off work.

in the office,

Editor-in-Chief Carol put down his mobile phone, his face full of excitement,

Suddenly stood up from behind the desk, and shouted loudly and excitedly to the outside of the office,

"Ms. Linna! Notify me to the printing house, print it for me, and print other language versions of the "Epic of the Empire" as soon as possible. Notify me now."

He got the news from the headquarter that "Epic of Empire" won the award!
