The Literary Life of a Science Leader

Chapter 61 The Book Company
"Is it dawn?"

The screen of her mobile phone is still on, but Shi Xiangming's heart is full of ups and downs. She is really amazed by the suspenseful novel "The Guest".

After updating "Sweet Wife: President Love Me Again" last night, she was lying in bed and remembered Mu Jingchi's suspense novel.

I was planning to just watch it before bed.

But the development of the story is really fascinating, the first 'mechanical' story is actually about 'artificial intelligence'.

She followed the plot of the male protagonist, so she also believed that the 'artificial intelligence' was imprisoned by humans, and what the male protagonist did was justice.

Then in the final twist, the artificial intelligence threw the male protagonist in a closed villa without any emotion, leaving him to fend for himself.

Only at this time did she feel the horror of having a truly conscious 'artificial intelligence'.

I also admire the plot of the story, as well as some speculations about "artificial intelligence" and philosophical issues, which are actually very thought-provoking.

Without thinking too much, Shi Xiangming went on to read the second story 'Murder'.

The word 'murder' has already named the theme of this story, which is about a murder case.The previous narrative was linear, but this one is multi-linear.

But Mu Jingchi's writing is good, and it doesn't make the multi-line narrative look messy, there is always a thread connecting the stories.

It was a bit inexplicable at the beginning, but after the subsequent story unfolded, it became exciting again and again. The content that was not noticed before was dug out later, forming a reversal.

A series of reversals are just right, not reversals for the sake of reversals.

Shi Xiangming has basically guessed the final ending, but he still applauds the excitement of this 'Murder' chapter.

The two articles are 30 words, and the story is extremely concise, but the characters are portrayed in a decent way, not rigid. There are only 30 chapters in the online novel with 150 words, and Shi Xiangming's reading speed is slowed down because of the rigorous narrative.

So, before I knew it, I watched it all night.

"sleep!"

···
"Dad, Mom, do you have any connections with the book company?"

The next day.

Mu Jingchi returned to his hometown, his parents had nothing to do, they stayed at home comfortably.Lao Ji had a rest on weekends, while Lao Mu delegated his affairs and powers to the outside world, so he no longer had to do everything himself, so he had more time.

"No."

Lao Mu thought about it for himself, and it really had nothing to do with it. Then he looked at Lao Ji, who also shook his head.

"We haven't started reading the novels you asked Lingling to print. You have already started looking for a book company, so you are so confident?" Lao Mu only thought that his son had a hobby of writing, but he had never expressed it before, and it seemed that he did not. I have written a novel, and I thought about publishing it the first time I wrote it, maybe it will be too soon.

"Have!"

Mu Jingchi nodded, he may still be a little immature in essay writing; but when it comes to stories, these two stories are definitely good.

"I'll help you ask my colleagues at work the day after tomorrow, and I should be able to get in touch."

Lao Ji responded to Mu Jingchi, although the network of national civil servants can't do big things, it is absolutely no problem to connect people. Civil servants, public institutions and state-owned enterprises pay attention to interpersonal relationships.

"Thank you dad."

Lao Mu pushed Lao Ji, "Go to the room and take out the novel, let's see how the novel written by my son is."

Lao Ji has no status in the family, he belongs to a good old man, so urged by Lao Mu, he immediately put down the remote control in his hand, and ran to the bedroom in a hurry.

The reason why they are looking for a book company is because Mu Jingchi still needs references from professional editors.

Whether it is Fang Yihan and Zhang Chuyang, or Ji Lingling and Mom and Dad, or even the Internet writer Shi Xiangming, they are all unprofessional, and their positions belong to the positions of ordinary readers.

Professional book editors, on the other hand, are able to see more inadequacies.

Whether a book can be published depends on many factors, but the first factor is the ability to impress the editor.If the editor can be impressed, the editor will recommend the book to its superiors, so that it will have a chance to be published.

The book market in China has always been tepid. Except for textbook books, other types are basically in the niche circle, and suspense is no exception.

Because there are not many writers who write suspense novels in China, the readers are limited, and the market is even smaller.On the contrary, in foreign countries, the market for suspense is very large.

The reason why Mu Jingchi is looking for a book company instead of a publishing house is because the current market is that the book company is affiliated with the publishing house.

Because in order to formally publish a book in China, you must have the book number of the publishing house, so if you want to publish a book, a private book company must also write the name of the publishing house and use the book number of the publishing house.

For example, reader culture.

Readers started in the advertising industry and are very good at marketing. For example, "Island Bookstore", which is not very popular abroad, became a bestseller under their marketing, and Huaxia sold well.

There are also gimmicks such as books that must be read in life at every turn.

If the quality of the book is good, Mu Jingchi is actually not opposed to such marketing, because it will allow more people to see it and cultivate people's interest in reading.

But if the quality of the books is not good, this kind of marketing becomes deception.

"It's quite thick!"

The family doesn't care about the cost of paper, so Ji Lingling didn't reduce the size of the font, but printed it according to the size of Mujingchi's code.

Although it is double-sided printing, but 30 characters are printed out, and there are more than 200 pages.

Stacked together, it looks like a monograph.

Dad carried the documents that hadn't been bound together, walked back to the sofa, and put them on the marble table.

Mu Jingchi leaned over, "This book is composed of two separate stories, you can read one each first, and exchange after reading."

Lao Ji gave Mu Jingchi a thumbs up, "With the energy you expend, I can publish a book for you at your own expense."

"You can rest assured!" Mu Jingchi smiled, "Even if you pay, you don't need to pay, I still have a lot of money!"

At this time, Lao Mu rolled his eyes to Lao Ji, "Why, you still have a small treasury! From what you mean, this treasury doesn't seem to be small!"

"No, no, just a little pocket money."

Once this person is proud, he is easy to reveal his secrets, Lao Ji patted his mouth pretendingly, and quickly opened his mouth to explain.

However, Lao Mu did not pursue this matter. It was enough to just talk about it, and there was no need to take this kind of thing seriously.It is normal to have their own small treasury, and besides, they are reorganizing their families.

"Mom, you read books, read books, and give advice to your son." Mu Jingchi received Lao Ji's eyes, quickly changed the topic, and recommended books for his mother with a smile.

"It's about the 'artificial intelligence' aspect, which you must be interested in."

　I am not satisfied with the writing, delete, delete, delete, and delete, so it is long overdue, of course, the daily recommendation ticket link is indispensable.I found that readers are really glass-hearted, and I wish the author would follow his train of thought, otherwise it would be poisonous.Also, I looked at their accounts for those who talk about drugs, and their experience is [-] days, [-] days, and [-] days.It's good to watch some pirated versions, but less jabbering.
