I will never give in to Miss Death

Adjust the input method so that a long paragraph can come out after typing twice, or let the input method adapt to your speaking speed, adapt to your accent, and convert to voice input.

Keyboard input is more precise, while voice input has many typos and requires manual addition of some punctuation marks. Both have their advantages.

But no matter how you look at it, 16,000 words in an hour is too scary, right? Now, let alone writing 16,000 words, even if I check it carefully, it will take me almost half an hour.

"Is that man called Big Hush?"

Hearing the editor say this, I tentatively asked, "Among the high-end author groups?"

"The ordinary author group is also there. All my authors are in the ordinary group. The high-end group is for authors with an average subscription of 1000."

Lan Jiajia explained: "You can learn from her experience in typing, but you don't need her experience in writing. All her books are printed from the same mold. No matter how much I suggest, she won't listen, saying that it's easier to write this way."

"Eh?"

"There are quite a few authors like this in the group, and the plots are all the same, but because they are all popular tags, people will read them no matter how clichéd they are, and they are always satisfied with the volume."

Lan Jiajia bent down to check the fire and turned off the switch. "That Daxu is different from other authors in that she writes part-time, just like you, but she writes much faster than you. She spends two hours writing books after get off work every day, sends out 20,000 and keeps 10,000 in reserve. She sends out all the reserve when there are recommendations... Many of her books don't have many collections and subscriptions, and the protagonists are almost all the same template, but she updates quickly and earns a pretty good income."

This...is this something I can learn?

Not to mention 16,000 words an hour, even if you asked me to write 5,000 words an hour, I couldn’t do it. I’m not a tentacle monster…

It seems that both of the novels I wrote are more everyday. If you ask me to write the kind of... "The protagonist shouted and threw a explosive punch with his bare hands!" "The enemy was hit, HP-30" "The enemy did not retreat but advanced after being hit, and used a huge and powerful attack" "The onlookers gasped" and so on, I guess I can barely reach a speed of 3000 per hour, but if it is a detailed description of daily life, my brain really can't squeeze out so many words in a short time.

Moreover, does a book written in this way really have a soul?

"To put it bluntly, it's about finding the right market position. Some talented authors are born to do one thing and can always find what excites most people. Whatever they write becomes popular. Some authors rely on the plot, while others simply copy the routine templates, translate them from Chinese to Chinese, but update quickly and use the number of words to increase income."

Elodie next to him continued, "You are not the editor-in-chief. What do the editorial department say about the authors under you?"

"If nothing goes wrong, it should be transferred to a new editor named Catnip."

Lan Jiajia gestured to us outside the kitchen: "Okay, okay, kids, don't stay here and cause trouble for the adults. Get out now."

Then I was driven out.

Catnip?

"Boss."

After standing outside for a few seconds, I turned to Elodie and said, "I don't think I've heard of this editor called Catnip?"

"A new editor who was hired this month."

Elodie yawned and said, "Don't worry, Honeydew Bag's HR recruitment level is still good, and the editors who can come in are not bad. You are also an experienced author, so you should know what to do."

"Female editor?"

"I can't say."

"what?"

"What I mean is... I don't know if Catnip is a male or female editor. The editor-in-chief didn't tell me directly. I couldn't tell her gender when I saw her. She had short hair, no breasts, and I couldn't tell her voice, but she had great skin."

Elodie patted my shoulder and said, "I heard that this catnip has a unique personality. You're on your own. Jiajia and I can only take you so far."

Have a weird temper?

It’s over. Having a weird temper is generally not a good adjective. It looks like my life will be difficult from now on.

With this mood, I sat down on the sofa in the living room and turned on my mobile phone.

I opened QQ on my phone, but there was no movement in the editor group that Editor Rabbit mentioned, and there was no news about editor changes. Everyone was basically discussing games or the latest anime. It seemed like it would take some time for the author to hand over.

Instead, Ouyang Xue, who I just added as a friend a few days ago, sent me a message via QQ:

[Nuo'er, the decoration of the coffee shop will be completed at 8 o'clock in the evening. If you have time, you can come and take a look and get familiar with the new environment. Our store will officially open tomorrow. At that time, there may be many anchors and TV stations coming to promote it. Go to bed early tonight and don't stay up late.]

[In addition, I uploaded the first promotional video of our store on Tongmeng.com. If you have time, you can go and have a look. Leave a message in the video comment area. You are the first maid in the store and also our signature maid. I will pin your comment to the top of the page to promote you.]

Promotional video?

Ouyang Xue’s message gave me a new impression of this mature big sister.

Not only has she worked as a virtual anchor before, she also worked as a logistics management team leader at Tongmeng.com. She can also do all kinds of groceries in the coffee shop, cook, raise cats, and write code. Now you tell me that she can also make promotional videos?

When my company went bankrupt, I didn’t get paid for my novels, and I was penniless, I tried to teach myself video editing.

Generally speaking, ordinary video editing is not difficult. For example, most of the popular editing videos on Tongmeng.com do not require high technical skills. You just need to go to some smaller and more niche websites to find high-definition text-free sources of various animations, post an inspiring music, and then find the rhythm. In addition, many video editing software now have powerful functions, so even a novice can learn it after two or three days.

But if you want to make a formal "promotional video", it will be difficult.

I don't know what Ouyang Xue means by "promotional video". If it's just an ordinary short video that captures some of the more beautiful areas of the coffee shop and plays some soothing music, I have no problem doing it, but generally speaking, such promotional videos won't be too popular.

My intuition tells me that with Ouyang Xue's personality, the coffee shop is opening, and Tongmeng.com is the major shareholder behind the coffee shop and the main base for publicity. It is impossible for her to simply record a short video and upload it to the website to get it over with.

"Shangjing Cat Cafe PV1: A Dream in the Floating World"

Sure enough, when I opened the Tongmeng.com APP and found the only video in the "Submissions" column of the "Shangjing Cat Cafe" official account that I followed, I discovered that the number of views of this video exceeded 12.

This video was released at 12 noon today. It is evening now. In just six or seven hours, it has been played 12 times, which is enough to show its value.

You have to know that this is a new account with zero fans and zero submissions in the past few days. It is very scary that the first video has more than 100,000 views.

"Shangjing Cat Maid Cafe... Thanks to... Tongmeng.com..."

The video begins with a short thank you message, followed by a fresh and simple scene.

In the picture, the camera seems to be hidden behind a green plant near the coffee shop. The morning sun has just risen from the horizon. A few emerald green leaves can be seen in the lower left corner of the lens, with a few clean dewdrops like gems on the leaves.

With a very cute "meow" sound, dewdrops fell from the leaves, the blurry scene in the distance slowly became clear, and the huge mushroom house of Shangjing Cat Café appeared in the camera.

My god, this framing and effects...

Bathed in the soft sounds of the new phone, I was startled by just the beginning.

Then, the scene changed, and the person recording the video walked along the path outside the coffee shop. The camera captured the cute little chairs at the door of the coffee shop and the beautiful scenery around it.

The door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and Ouyang Xue, dressed in a maid outfit, walked out of the house and picked up a broom.

Then, as if it was a game PV, the image of Ouyang Xue in maid outfit covered the entire screen, giving the feeling of a character introduction in a mobile game promotional video.

"Welcome to the Kamijyo Cat Cafe in Kamihama City. I am the acting store manager Ouyang Xue. You can call me Sister Ouyang or Sister Xue..."

"Huh? What happened to my clothes?"

"Our store is not an ordinary cafe. Here you can interact with the kittens for free and taste a variety of delicacies, from coffee and milk tea to fried egg tarts. As long as it is the owner's request, we will try our best to meet it."

After seeing this, I finally understood why so many people added me as a friend.

Because this promotional video... the quality is really too high.

Just by keeping the coffee shop background like this, and then cutting out Ouyang Xue herself, with a seamless artistic text introduction, and the music playing, people can't help but yearn for this coffee shop by hearing Ouyang Xue's voice.

I've made videos, I know.

Ouyang Xue, who looks like a character in a game in the middle of this video, has definitely undergone secondary artistic processing. It is not as simple as simply cutting out the character's appearance.

And designing content...is often the most challenging part of video production.

"All the kittens and cat houses in the cafe are open to the public free of charge, but be careful, each kitten has a different temperament. If a cat is not very friendly, please do not force it..."

Then, the background music became slightly faster, incorporating instruments such as the erhu and guzheng, and the scene changed to people who had come to the restaurant in the past few days eating, playing with cats, and playing games on their laptops.

If I remember correctly, this material should have been shot the day before yesterday, and Ouyang Xue also sought the opinions of these people at that time.

"Noer is here!"

Then I saw myself on my phone.

"Table 18...Cat's Paw Egg Tarts!"

"Da da da……"

"If you want a discount, please say the name of this product loudly!"

"Da da da da..."

Just like Ouyang Xue just now, I also felt like a "game character" when I appeared on camera, with a related introduction next to me -

[Maid: Noel]

[Attributes: cute, lively, kitten]

[Frequency of appearance in store: High]

"Oh huh?"

At this time, Yin Xiamo came over and asked, "Nuo'er, have you taken a video and uploaded it?"

"How is that possible? This is... This is a promotional video for the coffee shop."

My face turned red when I saw myself on the screen: “I don’t even know when she made it.”

During the few days I worked in the Cat Café, Ouyang Xue didn't specifically ask me to shoot any videos, nor did she ask me to make any gestures or say anything. She only told me that there were several high-definition cameras installed in the store and that the footage from them might be used when the time came.

I didn't expect that she could find such a suitable picture to be a character illustration among so many videos, and then manually use PS to artistically process it into this...

The most amazing thing is that she can still record my voice so clearly.

"Timon! Timon, you can't go there! Come back quickly, woooooo...it's all fur..."

"It's not impossible to have hand-shredded chicken or something... but you have to pay extra."

"Please don't do this, it will bother me..."

I don’t know if I’m too cute or if Ouyang Xue’s post-processing was too extreme, but whether it’s me in this video being photoshopped into a portrait or me running around in the coffee shop, it all feels a little unreal.

It's like... it's totally impossible for her to be like a girl in real life, with perfect appearance and figure, extremely fair skin, and a soft voice.

Compared to Ouyang Xue’s introduction and the few shots of the cat just now, the thickness of the barrage in this video started to feel a bit strange since I appeared.

[Isn’t this child so cute? He keeps making da da da da da…]

[Maid shoes look like this. The floor is made of wood, so of course they make a clattering sound when they run.]

[Are there really such cute girls in real life? I don’t believe it]

[Make a wish for a free meal coupon to lower your chances of winning]

[Is this filter too much? Are this face and eyes real? The eyes are too beautiful to be real.]

[Brothers, I won a 50% discount coupon. Tomorrow I will go and check on the situation for everyone, especially this maid named Nuoer. I have a 100-megapixel camera phone, and I promise not to use beauty mode.]

[Look at the comments section and you will find out Nuoer’s QQ. Look at the comments section and you will find out Nuoer’s QQ. Look at the comments section and you will find out Nuoer’s QQ.]

The introduction of me in the video lasts about 50 seconds, longer than Ouyang Xue. The "standing picture" in the middle part is so cute that I want to grab the girl in the picture and hug her. Moreover, Ouyang Xue seems to know what everyone likes to see. The photos she selected are all the types that can clearly show my two small feet in white stockings. One of the standing pictures is even from an upward angle: I raised my small feet in white stockings and small leather shoes, and they were about to step on the camera - God knows how Ouyang Xue took the picture.

After the portrait, there are various clips of me serving customers in the coffee shop. I have no recollection of some of these clips. Watching them from this third-person perspective, I even doubt whether they were composited.

"Want to pet the cat? A brush is ten yuan. If you want to rent it, it's one yuan per time, for an unlimited time."

"Want to take a photo with me? Of course you can, but let me make it clear first, my only wife is Nuoer."

"What do you mean by stepping on you...? I'm a waiter and I don't do anything to hurt customers."

Next is Yin Xiamo in a maid outfit, but there are relatively few illustrations and materials of Yin Xiamo. After all, her maid outfit just arrived yesterday, and she has only been a waitress in the store for a few days.

[Xia Mo? What a beautiful name]

[This maid looks like Emilia, have you noticed? ]

[No, she is a little more charming than Emilia]

[I don’t like lolita or mature women, but I’m fascinated by this girl. Is she also a maid? It seems that I have to run this trip to Kamihama.]

After Yin Xiamo’s introduction, there was an introduction to the coffee shop’s kitchen, raw materials, and staff dormitories, followed by some polite talk about “corporate culture”, etc.

At four minutes and forty-four seconds, the screen returns to the mushroom house at the beginning, and the address and map location of Shangjing Coffee House appear. Several lines of text pop up to introduce the available bus and subway routes. The entire Shangjing Coffee House PV ends with soft music.

"..."

After watching the video, I scrolled down and saw that eight of the top ten most liked comments were about me.

[Front row confession to Nuoer]

[I can’t think of anything to say. I just know that Nuoer stole my heart and made me, a lolita control, realize that even in the three-dimensional world, there is warmth.]

[Why is the comment about finding Nuoer’s QQ number gone? I haven’t had time to add it yet]

[I reported it (eating melon), some people really went too far. If you like others, you can go to the coffee shop to support them after it opens tomorrow. It’s only one dollar per photo. Don’t be so sarcastic about this human flesh. Do you think you are righteous? ]

[This PV is so luxurious, there must be a big team behind it, right? ]

After briefly browsing the comments on the video, I clicked on the comment section and posted an emoticon with the name "Xiao Xia Nuo doesn't hide in cardboard boxes" that read "Cat head shocked.jpg".

Then, I closed the Tongmeng.com app and called Ouyang Xue.
