Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 15: The "Golden Three Chapters" Principle.

Sunday.

Normally, this would be an ordinary Sunday.

But for Qidian, today is an unusual day.

The "Unremarkable Appearance" column of Sanjiang Pavilion begins today.

Although it's not time yet, everyone is already watching closely.

This includes not only ordinary authors, but also some top-tier and even platinum-level authors.

This includes Zhong Sheng, a platinum-level author who writes urban fantasy novels.

The secret to becoming a legend with a single book.

There's also a very ethereal toad.

"Tsk tsk, Shenji, this interview at Sanjiang Pavilion has the flavor of your previous ones."

Cabbage group.

Looking at this column, Toad recalled the great success of the first "Buddha's Book" and said to Shenji in the group.

Shenji replied, "It's much crazier than what I did that time, isn't it?"

"Haha, sage, it's rare to find someone who can convince you."

"It's not a matter of whether I'm convinced or not, the main thing is that this book is really well written. If I had read this book before, my Buddhist scripture introduction wouldn't have been so bad."

Shenji recalled his previous experience with Buddha.

Although the Buddha had already proven his enlightenment in a single book.

But let's be honest.

Shenji knew that the early urban chapters of the Buddha were not very well written.

It wasn't until after the Immortal Realm that the entire prehistoric storyline began to unfold.

"All living beings, you are the ones to judge."

"What am I supposed to rate?"

"Don't you write about urban fantasy?"

"Don't slap me in the face, I've already been washed ashore."

"You're being modest. Your Dragon Domain is a platinum-level book."

"You're making fun of me. But seriously, this book, 'I Come From Billions of Light Years,' which may not look impressive, is really well-written. It includes all sorts of classic plot points, which are obviously carefully designed and have a lot of staying power. It's much better than the previous books we wrote about showing off and slapping people in the face. The most impressive thing is its latest chapter, 'The Emergence of a Dragon in the Chen Family,' which made me very excited."

"I admire the Chen family for producing such outstanding individuals."

Shenji nodded as well.

……

"Chen Yang, what are you going to do after you have the afternoon off?"

"go home."

"I heard that you and Zhang Lin often go to internet cafes."

"Uh……"

Although Sunday is officially a day off, it's actually only half a day off.

After finishing his classes in the morning, Chen Yang was about to go to an internet cafe with Zhang Lin when Chen Xuewei called him back.

“You didn’t even get 400 points on the last mock exam. Your grades dropped too fast. Your mom ran into me before and asked me to tutor you.”

Thanks. But I've been working really hard lately, okay?

"I'll try to go back to internet cafes."

"We need to balance work and rest. Look, the school gives us half a day off to rest after making up classes."

"You are the only one who is wrong."

Chen Xuewei rolled her eyes at Chen Yang.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll improve in the next mock exam."

"Really?"

"Look if you don't believe me."

"Okay, we'll see how you do next time."

After waving goodbye to Chen Xuewei, Chen Yang rode Zhang Lin's bicycle to Lenovo Internet Cafe.

He can stay at the internet cafe a little longer today.

On the one hand, they give people a half-day off.

on the other hand.

The interview that Qidian arranged for him at Sanjiang Pavilion will begin after 2 PM.

Talk about it.

Chen Yang was quite excited. In his previous life, everyone who could appear on the Sanjiang Pavilion interview page was a top-tier author.

Chen Yang once participated as an author in interviews with Yue Guan, Shen Ji, and others at their Sanjiang Pavilion.

It's impossible not to feel envious.

As he was about to participate in this interview, Chen Yang felt a surge of excitement.

However, Chen Yang is a rather rational person.

He knew it deeply.

He is actually far from being as good as these top-tier experts.

As for why I was able to be interviewed at Sanjiang Pavilion, it was entirely due to my writing style, which was 20 years ahead of my previous life.

In addition, the most classic plots from the previous life were stitched together.

……

2 pm.

The interview at Qidian Sanjiang Pavilion has officially begun.

Because the internet and technology are not yet very developed, the Sanjiangge interview is a forum-style text-based interview.

Unlike later generations who directly broadcast live video.

It's somewhat like a chat room.

Everyone entered the chat room, and then the live text interview began.

This episode of the Sanjiang Pavilion interview live stream was hosted by Chen Yang's editor, Gu Yue.

It starts at 2 o'clock.

Or rather, even before it started, a group of readers and author friends had already entered the chat room.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the Qidian Sanjiang Pavilion interview. As you all know, our guest for today is none other than the unassuming one. Let him say hello to everyone."

Gu Yue sent a message in the chat room, and Chen Yang replied: "Hello everyone, I am Qimaobuyang."

"Could you tell us why you use the pen name 'Unremarkable Appearance'?"

"I originally wanted to choose someone with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a handsome and elegant appearance, and a pear blossom overshadowing a crabapple... but after thinking about it, I decided to be more low-key."

"I never imagined that Yangzhou University had this side to it."

The host, Gu Yue, was taken aback.

Countless comments flooded the chat room.

It's just that it's scrolling by way too fast.

Often, a sentence posted by someone else is scrolled away before it even lasts a second.

Of course, it's fast.

But Chen Yang still noticed a few things she said.

The main complaints boil down to four words: shameless.

Chen Yang remained calm and composed, even smiling slightly as he replied, "Thank you everyone."

"Let's not boast. Let's talk about your book, 'I Come from Billions of Light Years Ago.' Could you tell us about the book? For example, I think the title is very interesting."

"I chose the title intentionally. It also implies a certain kind of 'golden finger' (a special ability to grant unparalleled advantages), and it seems more mysterious, romantic, and intriguing."

“Speaking of expectations, you are an expert in this area. Just like the protagonist Chen Fan in your novel, you designed the original owner of his body as a child with the intelligence of a 12-year-old, and then a series of conflicts and expectations followed.”

"Yes, that's character design. Once the character design is established, the subsequent plot can proceed smoothly."

"I've learned something. It seems that character design has a huge impact on a work. Also, we'd like to ask: In your work, we've seen many classic plot points, including the scenes of showing off and getting slapped in the face. We feel that these scenes are more classic than those in many other works. Did you design them carefully?"

"You could say the same thing."

Chen Yang nodded, then said, "Of course, it's not entirely my design; I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants. In fact, many authors have probably written about these kinds of plot points. I just summarized the most classic and exciting parts and redesigned them."

“Brilliant! Your redesign elevates this classic urban scene to a whole new level.”

"Thank you."

"After saying all that, it's all been me asking questions. Before this interview, I received many messages from authors. They wanted to ask you, for example, could you share your writing experience with everyone?"

"Well, writing is a very large and systematic project. If I were to really talk about it, I could go on for three days and three nights. However, I can share some simpler points that are easier for everyone to understand. For example, the beginning."

“A good start is half the battle won. Tell us about it.”

"Yes, Gu Yueju is right. A good start is half the battle. Online literature is different from traditional literature. Since it is online literature, it has internet attributes. So online literature is actually literature + internet. And what is the internet? It is information and communication. I think the concept of online literature should be literature + communication studies. Simply writing without paying attention to communication may not be conducive to the development of online literature."

"Well said."

Chen Yang continued typing: "So in online reading, we need to focus on dissemination. To disseminate, we need to understand the psychology of users, that is, readers. On the internet platform, people may need relaxation more. It's fragmented reading, or rather, relatively shallow reading; most of their reading won't be too in-depth. Therefore, if we want to write online novels, we have to attract readers from the very beginning. I define the beginning as the golden three-chapter principle."

What are the three golden principles?

The ancient moon trembled.

He vaguely felt that this statement was familiar, but he had never thought of it before.
