Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 73 Editors and Bosses Are All Book Fans
"I don't deserve your criticism. The most I can do is give you my personal impressions of the movie."

Cao Sheng did not refuse, because he felt obliged to thank the guest for his kindness. Today's meal was treated by the old students, so they didn't ask Cao Sheng to pay.

"Okay, okay! Then I'll come to you tomorrow with the manuscripts?"

The other party was very happy and immediately took advantage of the situation.

Cao Sheng could only nod and agree.

In fact, he didn't take it seriously. He knew that as his fame grew, more and more people would come to him for advice on writing.

If he cares about every single one of them, how could he have so many cares?
……

When he returned home that night, he turned on his computer and logged into his email account. He saw an email from Wang Jing.

"Cao Sheng, Changjiang Literature and Art has completed the signing process, and the contract sent back to you is on the way. They need you to provide a 15-word manuscript as soon as possible. Each volume in the future will also need 15 words. Please send the manuscript to me as soon as possible, because they need time to proofread and typeset, and also need to find someone to write a preface. If you write a preface, the person who writes the preface may also need time to read your manuscript. In short, please send the manuscript as soon as possible. If you are fast, maybe this book can be officially launched at the beginning of next month. - Wang Jing"

15 words per volume was agreed upon in the contract he signed with Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House.

So, after reading this email, Cao Sheng didn't say much. He immediately created a new document and imported the 15-word manuscript into it.

Then send this document to Wang Jing.

He also hopes that the book can be published and released in mainland China as soon as possible.

This is related to his next plan.

what's the plan?
Very simple! Once the simplified version of the book is published in mainland China and the traditional version is published in Taiwan, the copyrights of the book that can be sold will almost be sold. There is no hope of selling other rights such as film and television adaptation rights and game adaptation rights in the next three to five years.

In this case, he plans to speed up the serialization of this book online.

there are many reasons.

For example, the length of a fairy tale is often 2 to 3 million words, or even 4 to 5 million words. With such a long length, if he updates a chapter every two days, how long will it take for his book to be serialized online? His first-mover advantage after his rebirth is only a few years. If he doesn't quickly finish serializing this book, how can he have time to seize other topics?

For example: in the original time and space, from the first day he started writing online novels, he was bullied by those prolific tentacle monsters because of their hand speed. In contrast to those tentacle monsters, he was dubbed "the clumsy writer" by readers for more than ten years. God knows how depressed he felt during those years.

Therefore, he wanted to let his current colleagues also experience the fear of being dominated by tentacle monsters.

He doesn't even have to be fast. He only needs to update one chapter every day to leave his peers who only update once every ten days or half a month far behind.

If I update two chapters every day, I should be able to leave an indelible psychological shadow on my current colleagues.

If three chapters are updated every day, how much fighting spirit will these colleagues have left?

In the past, others rolled him up, but now he wants to roll others up.

When San Shao, Xue Hong and others entered the industry, they also had a taste of being swept up.

With these thoughts in mind, Cao Sheng began writing tonight.

Perhaps because the picture he imagined was too beautiful, he seemed to type a lot faster tonight, and the sound of his fingers tapping on the keys was continuous.

While Cao Sheng was immersed in typing, in an Internet cafe in Shanghai, Wang Jing, who had been waiting in front of the computer for nearly three hours tonight, took off her headphones and sighed.

This afternoon she sent that email to Cao Sheng, urging him to send the 15-word first volume of "I Want to Become an Immortal" as soon as possible.

In fact, the publishing house was not in such a hurry.

She herself can't wait to read the follow-up of this book.

It just so happened that Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House sent an email asking Cao Sheng to send a 15-word manuscript in the next few days, so she took the opportunity to urge Cao Sheng to do so in her email.

Ever since she had read the tens of thousands of words of the manuscript submitted to the publishing house, she had been waiting for the follow-up plot.

Recently, she finally waited until the online serialization progress exceeded the chapters she had read before, so she refreshed the webpage every day, looking forward to the update of a new chapter of the book every day.

The feeling of chasing a book, only those who chase it know it.

When she was young and in love, she thought about her partner less often than she did recently when she was thinking about "I Want to Become a Fairy".

This afternoon, after she sent an email to Cao Sheng urging him to send 15 words as soon as possible, her expectations for the subsequent plot of the book were already skyrocketing.

While eating dinner, she kept thinking: Will he send me the manuscript tonight? Will he check his email today?

The more I think about it, the more itchy I feel.

After dinner, I couldn’t help but go to a small Internet cafe near where I lived, just to read the next few tens of thousands of words of the story as soon as possible.

She can only see one chapter updated every two days recently, and she can't wait to think about reading tens of thousands of words at once tonight.

but……

After arriving at the Internet cafe, she checked her email every once in a while, but did not see any reply from Cao Sheng. Gradually, her expectation turned into disappointment.

I thought I might not be able to read the subsequent tens of thousands of words tonight.

Although she no longer had any hope in her heart, she was unwilling to go back like this, so she found a downloaded movie on the computer in the Internet cafe and started watching it.

She had just finished watching the movie. After taking off her headphones, she turned around and looked at the other people in the Internet cafe with boredom. She still felt bored, thinking that the men in this Internet cafe were not as talented as Cao Sheng, and they were not as handsome as Cao Sheng. How dare they have the nerve to surf the Internet here?

Then she logged into her email again.

When she saw Cao Sheng's reply email, her eyes suddenly lit up and she subconsciously sat up straight.

She became excited again.

Soon, she saw the subsequent plot of the book, and in a moment, her mind was brought into the world of "I Want to Become an Immortal".

Forget the passage of time.

When she finished reading the last chapter of 15 words and looked at the blank document at the back, she found that there were no more words at the end. She was stunned for several seconds before she came to her senses.

My thoughts gradually returned to reality.

I subconsciously glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, and realized that more than an hour had passed.

In her mind, there was still the excitement of the protagonist Chu Feng breaking through three small realms in succession in a short period of time.

In the early plot of this book, Cao Sheng wrote it in the style of upgrading. The protagonist feels happy as he keeps breaking through realms... Wang Jing feels it.

It felt so good that her scalp tingled.

When had she ever seen this kind of upgraded work before?
Have you ever felt the excitement and thrill brought by continuous upgrades?
……

The next morning.

When Wang Jing came to work under the banyan tree, she tried to hold back but still couldn't help showing off to everyone that she had read the tens of thousands of words of the subsequent plot of "I Want to Become an Immortal" last night.

She knew that her colleagues were all fans of this book and were following the serialization of the book.

None of her colleagues could resist the attraction of "I Want to Become a Fairy".

This brand-new subject matter, with its highly imaginative world setting, cultivation levels, spells, flying swords... and so on, is simply addictive for those of them who already love reading. Anyone who reads it will become addicted.

As she expected, before she finished speaking, her colleagues all looked over at her, and even her boss, William Chu, couldn't help but quickly walked out of the office.

"What? Wang Jing, what did you just say? You just said you read the last few tens of thousands of words of "I Want to Become an Immortal"? Where is it? Where is it?"

When Zhu William asked this, everyone looked at him in surprise.

The boss is also following this book?
