A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 120: Your life must be very unhappy because the writing is so cruel.

The creation process of a book actually has a lot to do with the author's state and mood.

Especially for online literature, because it needs to maintain a fast pace and high-density updates, the author's state of mind can greatly affect what is written that day.

For example, if an online writer is feeling a little down today, and feels a little depressed, then naturally -

The plot of the novel he wrote today may also be affected by his depressed mood. The whole book becomes more and more depressing, making readers feel more and more uncomfortable.
Is this human nature?

But looking at this guy Jiang Hai, he obviously does not belong to the category of normal authors?

When he was lost and depressed, the stories he wrote made people feel uncomfortable, depressed, and want to die.
I thought that this situation might change when he was in a good mood?

But who would have thought.
When this guy is in a good mood, he becomes more and more ruthless when he stabs people?

"I'm in a good mood today, so I have to pull this supporting character out to torture you guys."

"What? Let you guys enjoy it? How is that possible! How can I enjoy it if you guys enjoy it?"

"Lovers will eventually get married? That doesn't exist. I hope that lovers in the world will eventually become brothers and sisters, looking at each other and staying together, and then forgetting each other in the world."

"Do you know Xu Changqing and Zixuan from The Chinese Paladin? That's right, Zhaoyang and Jianwei are the urban version of The Chinese Paladin. Although they both miss each other and can't forget each other, in the end, Xu Changqing will still become the head of Shushan, and Zixuan will still not escape the fate of being the descendant of Nuwa."

"Jian Wei and Zhao Yang, it's impossible for them to be together forever."

Do you think it was difficult for Jiang Hai to write these plots?
If you say it’s uncomfortable, then it’s definitely uncomfortable!
only.
When I think that someone would feel worse than me after seeing these scenes, I feel so sad.
It seems that it is not so uncomfortable anymore?
This is like the classic statement of Canyon Relativity: "Enemy speeds up equals our speeds down."

Apply this classic formula -

Although I felt very bad when I was writing these things, but when I thought about some people crying while watching these plots, and when I thought about your funny looks of crying your hearts out, I couldn't help laughing for some reason?
Since my pain has been borne by my dear readers, what else can I be emo about?

"Great, so great, so great!" In the library, Jiang Hai's hands kept jumping on the keyboard, his eyes were full of a strange look, an almost perverted look, "Write this to death, write that down, all of them must die! Don't let any of them have an easy life!"

"Brothers, the knife is finished."

Jiang Hai typed from morning till afternoon, without stopping for even a moment.

As if he didn't feel tired at all, he sat in front of the computer screen with almost hyper energy, creating frantically.

It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when he came out of this almost crazy creative state.

Leaning back in his chair, Jiang Hai realized that, apart from the two meat buns he had eaten in the morning,

It seems like you haven’t eaten anything?
"Don't mention it, I'm a little tired." Jiang Hai rubbed his sore shoulders and looked out the window. He was attracted by the scenery outside the window at a glance, "It's so beautiful."

The library of Chengxi is located in the center of an artificial lake, nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the seventh floor, the entire terrain, landscape, and buildings of the Chengxi teaching building are all in sight.

At six o'clock, the rays of the midsummer sun shine on the library and the entire artificial lake. This scene -

It looks so refreshing.

Jiang Hai bathed in the sunset, feeling the warmth on his body, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Who would have thought that I, who writes sad stories like crazy online, would actually live such a comfortable life in real life?"

To be honest, there are many rumors on the Internet now about "bring an umbrella but not a knife on a rainy night."

A considerable number of readers are spreading rumors like crazy:

"Yuye, your writing is so cruel, and you come up with so many fancy and showy operations to torture the readers."

"Reality must be very unpleasant, right?"

Every time he sees this kind of topic, Jiang Hai doesn’t know how to respond?
Are you saying that my life is not going as planned?
Are you serious?

I can easily earn dozens or even hundreds of dollars a month by writing novels about torturing you. I am still young and have unlimited possibilities.
Can this be considered an unhappy life?
Some readers who were overwhelmed by Dao Ma's extreme behavior not only cursed "life is not satisfactory on rainy nights" in the book circle, but even compared rainy nights to "rats in the gutter", saying something like...
"If you weren't a rat in the gutter, how could you write such a cruel and disgusting plot?"

Especially when Jiang Hai wrote in the book:
[Jian Wei, who has always loved Zhao Yang, came back from abroad and saw a woman named Mi Cai suddenly appear beside Zhao Yang. Then she resolutely agreed to the proposal of the rich second generation Xiang Chen]

Isn’t this a proper gift for a girl?
Isn't this a perfect urban version of "Little Dragon Girl and Yin Zhiping"?

Seeing these heart-wrenching plots, for a time, sayings such as "life is not satisfactory" and "cockroaches in the sewer" gradually became more and more popular among radical book friends.
Sit in the spacious and bright library.

Admire the breathtaking beauty of the artificial lake outside the window.

Let me read these posts again, dear book friends who have experienced mental breakdowns due to reading novels.

“I can’t do anything about you guys.”

Jiang Hai smiled, then suddenly felt helpless.

He immediately liked several posts with the following message: "Life on a rainy night is extremely unsatisfactory, just like a rat in a gutter." He also personally replied to the messages under these posts:

"If scolding me makes you feel better, then please feel free to do it and speak louder." Today's work content was quite full. I was busy from morning to afternoon and didn't slack off.

Without having time to eat, Jiang Hai simply packed up his things, picked up his backpack and headed straight for the Cainiao Station in the Entrepreneurship Park.

Compared to eating, Jiang Hai now has more important things to do——

The final version of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" that Yang Shuman mailed to him has arrived at the express delivery point.

Before officially investing in mass printing at the printing factory, Jiang Hai, the author and investor, must first confirm the cover, quality, and the appearance of the entire book.

Are you kidding? A business worth millions of dollars can be dealt with in minutes. How can you not take it seriously?
“Pickup code 9002-1”

Yang Shuman mailed five copies of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" to Jiang Hai at once. Although the quantity was not much, the five books were piled together and mailed together, which was still a bit heavy.

As soon as he received the express, Jiang Hai couldn't wait to open it. What caught his eye was a book with a light blue and white traditional ink painting cover.

As a top student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University, Yang Shuman's aesthetic taste for books is impeccable.

This printed book of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" gives you a very ancient feeling as soon as you get your hands on it.

The paper, binding, and pages of the book are all made of relatively high-quality materials.

Jiang Hai shook the book in his hand, and suddenly he had a feeling:
"It only costs 18 yuan to print a book. Is this money well spent?"

If the printing quantity is not large, that is, less than 5000 books are printed at a time, then the cost of printing such a double-page book is -

At least around 25 yuan.

In other words, Jiang Hai wanted a relatively large quantity, and he had to print more than 100,000 copies at one time. Yang Shuman also helped find a senior who also graduated from Peking University and had a small position in the publishing house to use his connections.

This is the only way to keep the printing cost of "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" under 18 yuan.

Even Jiang Hai, who is very strict about quality control, couldn't help but sigh repeatedly when playing with such a book in his hand:
"Not bad, really good."

If the printing quality of subsequent books can be comparable to the final versions that Jiang Hai received.

Then I think, once the book is sold, it shouldn't be criticized by readers for being poorly made, right?
But now there is a problem.
The problem of book printing has been solved, but the problem of book promotion and publicity is still
How should this be solved?

There is an old saying that goes,

"Even good wine needs a bush!"

The reason why the books written by traditional literary masters are generally popular with readers and recognized by the market is that.

First, because the content of the book is indeed well written.

The second, and very important point, is that they are very famous themselves!

Just give me an example.

A book written by a talented new author with a writing level of 8.

And the casual work of Teacher Liu Zhenyun, an essay with a writing level of only 6 points.

Although the quality of the former is far greater than the latter, once these two books are sold on the market at the same time——

Then I'm afraid the sales of the latter will be far greater than the former?
As for why?
[Liu Zhenyun] These three words are the guarantee of sales!
From a reader's perspective, when you go to a bookstore to buy a book, would you choose an unknown new author or a literary giant who has already made a good reputation in the traditional literary world?
This result is probably obvious?
Buying an authentic book costs at least thirty or forty yuan. Who would be willing to spend thirty or forty yuan to support a new author that no one has ever heard of?
If you have this spare money, buy two pounds of pork ribs and take them home to make soup. Wouldn’t it be delicious?
If we don’t want a good book to be ignored, then the promotion and publicity of the book should be——

This is extremely important!

If a book's early promotion and publicity are done well, no matter how badly written the book is or how terrible its quality is, it will be a great success.
Then its sales volume shouldn’t be too low, right?
Haven’t you seen that “Tiny Times” once had a glorious record of selling tens of millions of copies?

Haven’t you seen that “Passing By Your World” once had a terrifying sales volume of one million copies in a week?
I won’t comment on how well these two books are written, but from the perspective of marketing promotion, the promotion and publicity of these two books before they were sold——

That is the ultimate!
Although Jiang Hai's current representative work is indeed "No Longer Human", he does not think that just "No Longer Human" can make domestic readers recognize him and pay for his new book "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".
Just as Jiang Hai was thinking about what he should do to break the current deadlock.

Suddenly, several roars came from behind, which made Jiang Hai nervous:

"Rainy night, why are you so worried? Are you in a bad mood?"

"Yuye, stop right there! If you keep pretending you didn't hear me—"

"I'm about to take action!"

Jiang Hai felt his heart tighten when he heard this voice:
"This person called me Yuye instead of Jianghai, could it be possible?"

"My identity has been exposed???"
