Chapter 46: Works by the Most Promising Newcomers to Children's Literature
"Knock knock." Zhao Ziming knocked on the door.
"Please come in," came the steady voice of editor-in-chief Zhou Kaiwen from inside.
Zhao Ziming pushed open the door and went in.
Zhou Kaiwen was sitting behind a large desk, frowning as he looked at something on the computer screen, seemingly reviewing a report.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhou," Zhao Ziming greeted him.
Zhou Kaiwen looked up and adjusted his glasses: "Zimo, what's up?"
"Yes, Editor-in-Chief Zhou. I've discovered a new book with great potential and would like to ask if you could give it a featured spot on the opening screen."
Zhao Ziming got straight to the point.
Zhou Kaiwen's brows immediately furrowed:
"Opening screen spot? Zimo, you know the value of the opening screen spot. Usually, only our platform's platinum and top-tier authors, or those involved in major collaborative projects, get it."
The new book you mentioned...who is the author? 'Haolin'? Never heard of him. A newcomer, perhaps?"
"He is indeed a newcomer, his pen name is 'Haolin'." Zhao Ziming nodded, but his tone was firm.
"But his book, 'The Adventures of the Chen Family's Daughter in the Mountains and Seas,' has very good data and is the most promising new work of children's literature that I have seen in recent years."
You'll understand once you look at the backend data.
As he spoke, he handed over the tablet in his hand, which already displayed the data page for the book.
Zhou Kaiwen took the tablet with some skepticism, glancing at the screen.
He was somewhat nonchalant at first, but a few seconds later, his expression changed.
My eyes widened slightly, and I swiped the screen faster, carefully examining every piece of data, especially the almost linearly rising subscription curve and the 99% positive review rate.
"This...this book was only uploaded a few days ago?" Zhou Kaiwen was somewhat incredulous.
"The data is so explosive? So many comments? And they're all positive?"
"Absolutely true, Editor-in-Chief Zhou," Zhao Ziming affirmed.
"I personally reviewed the manuscript, and the writing style and story are top-notch. Reader feedback has now confirmed this."
I think this book has the potential to become a bestseller or even a classic.
Giving it a prominent splash screen placement not only maximizes the book's value but also showcases our platform's discerning eye for quality content.
Zhou Kaiwen stared at the data for a while, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.
As the editor-in-chief, he knew all too well what such data meant.
This is definitely not fake; the comments are all of very high quality.
This book certainly deserves to be granted top-tier resources.
He finally nodded: "Okay, Zimo, I trust your judgment. The data for this book is indeed solid."
I've approved giving "The Adventures of the Chen Family's Daughter in the Mountains and Seas" a featured spot on the opening screen tomorrow, for 24 hours.
You should coordinate with the operations team.
"That's wonderful! Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Zhou!" Zhao Ziming was overjoyed.
"You have a good eye; you've struck gold." Zhou Kaiwen smiled as well.
"Follow up on this author closely and try to sign him to a long-term contract. You can also allocate more promotional resources for this book as appropriate."
"Understood! I will definitely follow up!" Zhao Ziming left the office with confidence.
……
At Chen Hao's home.
After dropping off his daughter, Chen Hao didn't immediately start doing anything else as he usually did.
He sat on the living room sofa and felt that having only two songs, "Starlight and Dust" and "Sisi's Rainbow Bridge," uploaded to the music platform was far too few.
Moreover, one of them is a relatively niche children's song, while the other, although in a pop style, is more lyrical.
He wants to create a few more pop songs in different styles to enrich his repertoire and see how the market reacts.
Just do it.
He walked into the recording studio and turned on the equipment.
With master-level skills in literature, music, and singing, creation is no longer a difficult task for him; it is more like the flow of emotions and the display of skills.
Inspiration flows like a spring.
He first spent time brainstorming and determining the direction and theme of the five songs, and then began to compose, arrange and record them one by one.
The first song: "The Other Side of the City".
A song with a touch of rock and urban blues, telling the story of loneliness in the city night and the clash between dreams and reality.
The lyrics are sharp and self-deprecating, and the arrangement uses strong electric guitar riffs and solid drum beats.
The second poem is titled "Echoes in the Rainy Alley".
It blends folk and traditional Chinese styles, drawing inspiration from Dai Wangshu's "Rainy Alley," but giving it a modern emotional interpretation.
The melody is melodious, embellished with the timbres of the guzheng and xiao, and the vocals are treated to be ethereal and distant.
The third song: "Quantum Entanglement".
An alternative pop song with an electronic and futuristic feel, using physics concepts to metaphorically describe the complex and subtle emotional connections between people.
The arrangement is full of science fiction elements and has a variety of rhythms.
The fourth poem: "The Old Clock at the Breakfast Shop".
A warm and comforting folk song that depicts the everyday life in a breakfast shop in the early morning and the feeling of time flowing quietly by.
The melody is simple and catchy, and the arrangement is mainly based on acoustic guitar, giving it a fresh and natural feel.
The fifth song: "Eye of the Storm".
A powerful and majestic pop-rock song that expresses the determination to remain calm, accumulate strength, and wait for a breakthrough in the midst of life's storms.
The arrangement is rich in layers, and the vocals are powerful.
Chen Hao was completely immersed in his creative work for the entire morning.
Writing lyrics, composing music, arranging, recording instruments, singing vocals, mixing... all done in one go.
Each song reflects his hard work and talent, with different styles, but all maintaining a very high quality.
[Ding! High-intensity, multi-style music creation and production, significantly enhancing experience in music, literature, and singing...]
When the final mix file for the fifth song was exported, Chen Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a little tired, but his heart was filled with the satisfaction of creation.
He updated these five new songs, along with his previous songs "Starlight and Dust" and "Sisi's Rainbow Bridge," on the "Kuyin" platform.
After doing all this, he suddenly remembered that he wondered if the two songs he had uploaded earlier had received any response.
He opened the musician's backend on "Cool Sound" to check his income details.
He was stunned when he saw it.
"Starlight and Dust": 8.5 views, 1.2 downloads, 2120 yuan in tips, and 880 yuan in revenue sharing from GG.
"Sisi's Rainbow Bridge": 5.1 views, 9800 downloads, 1350 yuan in tips, and 520 yuan in revenue sharing from GG.
In total, the income exceeded three thousand yuan!
And most of them come from Starlight and Dust!
It's only been uploaded for a little over a day!
Although it can't compare to those viral songs that have hundreds of thousands or millions of views, this achievement is already amazing for a complete newcomer without any promotion!
