Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 4: The new book is going to be a hit.

Following the signing confirmation SMS from the backend, Chen Yang added the editor's QQ.

Chen Yang's editor is named "Gu Yue".

As a newcomer, Chen Yang didn't chat much with editor Gu Yue, and he understood that.

Editors also have a lot of headaches with the problems of new authors, plus each editor has to sign at least several hundred authors.

I've read hundreds or even thousands of books.

Unless there's something important to discuss, editors generally don't have time to chat.

As for why many new authors ask editors for advice on how to write a novel?
This is a huge problem.

It can't be explained in just a few words.

In summary...

Writing a book.

You'll either know it or you won't.

Generally, it depends on your own understanding.

There was no small talk.

After adding Gu Yue's QQ, Chen Yang received an electronic contract.

Generally, when signing a contract on Qidian, the author receives an electronic contract, prints it out, and then sends it to Qidian via express delivery.

However, Chen Yang is not yet 18 years old.

So Chen Yang used his father's ID card to sign the contract.

All done.

Chen Yang did not return to the internet cafe.

He might have to make up for missed classes in a few days, so he needs to use these few days of vacation to write a few more chapters.

really.

The next day, I received a message saying that I would have to make up a class the day after tomorrow.

Chen Yang had a headache.

I had to catch up on lessons as soon as I started reading.

Fortunately, Chen Yang's typing speed is acceptable.

In addition, this book is a relatively easy-to-write story of showing off and slapping others in the face.

Many scenes and plots don't require much thought; you can just use the most enjoyable templates from your past life.

Just like the plot Chen Yang is currently writing, where the protagonist sells talismans on the street.

The protagonist, Chen Fan, returns to Earth. Because he is penniless and disliked by others, he decides to draw some talismans to sell for money.

for him.

His talismans naturally possess various supernatural powers; not only can they cure illnesses, but as long as one is not dead, using his talismans can bring about a complete recovery.

However, although talismans have various effects.

However, the Earth he is on now is not the cultivation world he lived in.

The technology here is advanced, but the so-called cultivation of immortality and other such practices have long been considered feudal superstitions.

As a result, some people considered him a fraud.

But sometimes, things don't go as planned, and one of the female characters happened to run into Chen Fan at this time.

Because his grandfather was seriously ill, and no medical treatment could help.

In her anxiety, she pinned her hopes on this man, whom she also suspected was somewhat of a charlatan.

It started crackling and popping again.

Chen Yang wrote six chapters that day.

After copying the latest six chapters to an MP3 player, Chen Yang went to the internet cafe again.

And Chen Yang had made a plan.

If I have a make-up class the day after tomorrow, I can write one or two chapters after I finish self-study in the evening.

With a day off on the weekend, I can write a few more chapters.

On average, this means that two chapters can be updated every day of the week.

This speed isn't considered fast.

But in 2006, everyone's update standards were pretty much the same.

Unlike later works, which often feature chapters like "Eagle" (a popular Chinese writer), this series updates frequently with four, five, six, seven, or eight chapters, sometimes as many as 20,000 to 30,000 words a day.

……

Xinfeng No. 2 Middle School.

Looking at the name of Xinfeng No. 2 Middle School, Chen Yang felt an immense sense of familiarity.

Following his memory, Chen Yang found the classroom where he was.

Live again.

The book needs to be written.

Classes still need to be attended.

Chen Yang, born into a small town known for his meticulous exam preparation, also longs to be able to get into a better university in his second life.

"good."

Although I haven't been back to school for decades.

But as he picked up the book, many memories still flooded Chen Yang's mind.

There was quite a bit of information, and Chen Yang slowly began to recall it.

In here.

One aspect is the memory of studying in a previous life.

On the other hand, Chen Yang studied humanities and is also an online novelist.

In my past life, when I wrote online novels, I often had to research various humanities-related materials.

History, politics, geography... and so on.

Moreover, Chen Yang had written academic novels in his previous life and had researched a lot of information on mathematics.

Now that I'm back, I don't feel too out of place.

There's a lot of high school content.

In addition, it has taken a really long time, and it will take some time to master this knowledge.

"Class, we'll continue with extra lessons today. In a few days, we'll prepare for a mock exam, so get ready!"

The homeroom teacher's name is Yang Xiaoqin, and she teaches math.

Although she teaches math, Yang Xiaoqin only graduated from teachers' college two years ago. She's not actually that much older than Chen Yang and the others.

The students have a pretty good relationship with their homeroom teacher.

In his previous life, Chen Yang returned to his alma mater and even treated his homeroom teacher to a meal.

A few days later, the mock exam officially began.

After completing all the exam papers.

Chen Yang estimated that his score was around 400 points.

In his past life, he remembered that when he was in his senior year of high school, he consistently scored over 500.

However, Chen Yang wasn't in a particular hurry.

That's his current situation.

After so many years of not having studied, scoring around 400 points is already quite good.

There is still one year until the college entrance examination.

Chen Yang is confident that he can raise his score to over 500 in a year.

……

the other side.

Chen Yang's new book, "I Come from Billions of Light Years," written on Qidian.com, has already been serialized for 10 chapters.

The signed contract was also delivered by express to Shanghai, where the starting point was located.

at this time.

In the information section of Chen Yang's new book, "I Come From Billions of Light Years," the words "A-level Contract" are displayed.

This means the new book has been signed.

I remember my past life.

Chen Yang didn't initially write books to earn royalties.

He had always longed for the opportunity to sign an A-level contract with someone else's book after seeing that so many others had done so.

He felt that he would be satisfied as long as he could write one book that was signed to a contract.

But I didn't expect it.

This writing has been going on for so many years.

"Brother Bu Yang, how many collections has your new book gotten?"

"800."

"Huh, how much?"

"800, what's wrong?"

"I remember you published your book less than a week ago."

"Exactly 5 days."

"800 favorites in 5 days, my goodness."

In the group chat.

The author, Dangdang, asked Chen Yang about it.

"Oh, it seems you've signed a contract."

When Dangdang clicked on the link to Chen Yang's new book, it was taken aback again.

To know.

He wrote 15 words but still didn't get a contract.

But I didn't expect it.

Chen Yang's new book was signed after only 20,000 words.

No.

To be precise, the contract was signed in just a few thousand words.

Because it generally takes at least 3 days from mailing the signed contract to the time it shows as signed.

Chen Yang's book release process took only 5 days in total.

This basically means that Chen Yang probably signed a contract as soon as he published the book.

"Have you been featured?"

Dangdang asked again.

"No."

Chen Yang shook his head.

Being recommended means that Qidian (the website's online platform) helps with promotion.

Once a book has been signed, Qidian will display it on various pages for a certain period of time.

Having signed a contract but not yet receiving recommendations is generally referred to as "going naked" (or "going naked").

"Naked run" means there is no recommendation, and the work attracts traffic solely based on its own merits.

However, without recommendations, works generally go unnoticed and therefore unlikely to be collected.

Chen Yang's new book hasn't been recommended yet because it was just signed, so it's basically running naked.

This is why Dangdang was shocked.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap..."

"What's the name of your book again? I'll go take another look."

Dangdang was a little excited and didn't say anything more.

Actually, he clicked on and took a look when Chen Yang first published his book.

However, since I'm not familiar with Chen Yang, and everyone's so-called mutual help is just giving you a favorite to make your data look better, they basically don't look at your work much.

People only care about what they write.

But now we see that Chen Yang's work, even without any prior knowledge of his work, gained 800 new favorites in just 5 days.

Although Dangdang has not signed a contract, it is still very clear about the rules in the industry.

There are generally two possible explanations for this situation.

Either.

He's manipulating the data.

Either.

This book might become a hit.
