"Yes."

"In the era of literary commercialization, the original intention of authors is certainly based on their dreams, but if their novels don't make money, how many people are willing to generate electricity for love?"

"I haven't met this kind of novelist for many years."

"The vast majority of writers are not willing to finish a very profitable novel. Even if they run out of outlines, they will definitely try their best to expand their own stories. In contrast, Chu Kuang and the like decisively finish best-selling novels. There are too few authors of books."

"..."

Yang Feng sighed.

Why doesn't he appreciate Chu Kuang?

When most writers followed the trend and chose to create the kingly theme of adventure in another world, Chu Kuang chose the unpopular theme of sports competition without hesitation. Yang Feng admired this pioneering spirit alone.

Admirable is admirable.

At the same time, Yang Feng also had a very headache.

Because Chu Kuang finished "The King of the Net", it was a big loss for Yinlan Library.

Otherwise, the editor-in-chief wouldn't have specifically asked Chu Kuang to expand the outline as much as possible and write the story longer...

However, Chu Kuang refused to listen.

Yang Feng couldn't help recalling what happened when he first dealt with Chu Kuang. At that time, he still thought that the other party was just a newcomer, and a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.

One day!

The other party will feel the fear of being dominated by a small black room, and see how terrifying the editor's reminder method is.

But now.

Chu Kuang didn't see his own horror. He is an author who never delays his manuscripts, but he was the first to see Chu Kuang's horror.

People really treat money like dung.

Yang Feng could only shake his head helplessly, and commented with a wry smile: "It's really too capricious!"

The next day.

May [-]st.

The final chapter of Chu Kuang's "Net King" is released!

Chapter 90 Diesel, rice, oil and salt are expensive

For readers, the end of "The King of the Internet" is not sudden, because at the end of the fourth volume released in April, the editorial department has already predicted the fact that the novel will end, although the readers are extremely reluctant in their hearts——

Everyone is watching.

You told me the book was ending?

This type of best-selling novel usually has more than two to three million words, so although readers don't feel it suddenly, they still feel a little uncomfortable. This kind of discomfort directly magnifies the reluctance in everyone's hearts.

But reluctance is normal.

Because the plot of "The King of Net" without a trace of water is very compact, each volume can be said to be full of climaxes, and the last volume is an exciting national competition. The members of the Qingxue Tennis Club in the book welcomed their The pinnacle moment in the book!

The story does not have the tendency of Wenqing.

Readers get a happy ending.

Since Chu Kuang won the first prize in the tribal literature competition and caused extensive discussions among short story lovers, he also sparked extensive discussions among fantasy literature lovers with "The King of the Net". The time difference between the two is only one day.

"I finished reading the last volume in one breath!"

"Although the ending is very satisfactory, I still feel a bit disappointed when I read the ending chapter of "The King of Net", probably because the characters in the book have been with me for nearly half a year, as if they are going to leave me suddenly .”

"The book I'm most reluctant to finish is finished."

"The first few volumes were borrowed from my classmates, but today I saw that the novel was finished, so I bought the previous volumes, because I plan to keep this novel in the bookshelf, and maybe I will come back later. Turn it over."

"The originator of competitive writing!"

"I never thought that one day I would be so obsessed with a sports novel. Although I still can't play tennis after reading the novel, this does not hinder the status of this novel in my heart."

"..."

Readers' comments appear on the message board of Yinlan Shuku, in the posts of many novel forums, in the latest news of many tribal users, and even in the circle of friends of many people.

The novel was a success.

It not only affects readers, but also affects many authors. Before Chu Kuang released "The King of the Net", sports competition was a subject that was so unpopular that no one cared about it, but after the release of this novel, many sports games appeared on the market Competitive fiction.

Some write about basketball.

Some write about football.

Some even wrote about track and field.

The most popular book among them is called "Slam Dunk". The author is the novelist He Mingxuan who was squeezed out of the supernova by Chu Kuang at the beginning. The tribe declared: "It was Chu Kuang who guided me on this road of sports and competitive novels, and he is the originator of our unpopular subject matter!"

Sports competition is still unpopular.

But Chu Kuang proved that there is no market for this subject matter. Even if excellent novels use sports as a carrier, readers can still pay for them obediently. That's why some latecomers succeed. The fans naturally regarded Chu Kuang as the banner of sports competition in their hearts!

Industry.

Many people are discussing the ending of this novel. Everyone's psychology is somewhat similar to that of the editors of Yinlan Library. They all think that Lin Yuan is a very willful newcomer, and he ended a best-selling book like "The King of Net" so decisively!

"Isn't it fragrant to pour water?"

"It's over with a million words."

"The Yinlan Bookstore should be a little confused. How can there be such a willful author? He just finished the book without earning millions of monthly manuscript fees. If it were different, I would at least write to the Yinlan Bookstore. collapse."

"Isn't Chu Kuang writing a short story?"

"I have paid attention to the short stories written by Chu Kuang. I feel that this person is really terrifying. He can handle two completely different themes with ease. He can be called the strongest newcomer that has appeared in the past few years."

"The next book will be hard to say."

"When Chu Kuang finds out that the performance of his new book is far inferior to "Net King", maybe he will regret that he finished it too early. After all, sports competition is not a subject that can be popular just by writing about it."

"..."

Some people feel regretful, some are emotional, and some are even secretly happy, especially the competitors of Yinlan Bookstore, who are extremely happy. For example, the editor-in-chief of Dingsheng Publishing House is taking a sip of wine very leisurely at this moment.

"What a miserable silver and blue library."

Just thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth happily. Of course, this kind of gloating is definitely not aimed at Chu Kuang, he has never even seen Chu Kuang, so where is the nameless hatred coming from?

Let alone hate.

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng even wanted to poach Chu Kuang. He has a keen sense of smell after working in the industry for many years, so he naturally knows that Chu Kuang's ability to write novels is beyond doubt. It can definitely be valued by all publishing houses.

He also wants this kind of person!

And he is in such a good mood at the moment, purely because Yinlan Bookstore is the number one enemy of Dingsheng Publishing House. Now that this enemy has completed a best-selling book, his old opponent must be in a very depressed mood. After all, they lost a very profitable work.

Bestsellers are rare.

Any work that can be called a bestseller is the favorite of the publishing house. From the editor-in-chief to the ordinary editor, they will take care of it in every possible way, for fear that the novel will make mistakes.

What went wrong?

For example, the plot begins to collapse.

What is more terrifying than the collapse of the plot is that the plot of the novel has no problems at all, and the sales volume has not fluctuated too much, but the author chooses to finish the novel. This situation is actually not uncommon, because the author has been writing a book for too long , will inevitably lead to boredom.

In other words, the author is tired of writing.

However, this kind of situation usually happens after the novel reaches 300 to 100 million words. It is almost impossible for a good bestseller to be tired after writing only [-] million words, because this is the time when the author makes the most money.

"comfortable."

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng drank the wine and felt his stomach warm, while Yang Feng contacted Chu Kuang at this moment, and asked with a bit of anxiety: "When will the next novel start?"

"Not urgent."

Chu Kuang replied like this.

Not only was Yang Feng not disappointed by this sentence, but he was a little happy on the contrary. If he was not in a hurry, he would continue to write. He was very afraid that Chu Kuang would focus on creating short stories in the future, and would no longer write relatively exhausting long-form serials.

Happy for just a moment.

Yang Feng couldn't help feeling worried again. It's good for Chu Kuang to continue writing fantasy novels, but can he still write a bestseller like "The King of Net"?

at the same time.

Lin Yuan was also thinking about what kind of novel would be more suitable for the system to customize. "The King of the Internet" ended too quickly, and the dog system didn't know what is expensive if it is not in charge!

Chapter 91 Against the World

Since the system launched the krypton gold project, Lin Yuan has not received a new task for a long time, let alone any novel rewards.

Right now, there is a painting task in progress.

This task requires Lin Yuan to reach [-] painting reputation points.

However, there should be a few months left before this task is completed.

After all, he only hangs out in the painting club on campus, and the rate of rise in painting prestige can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yuan had only two choices if he wanted to continue writing novels.

The first choice is to wait for the painting task to be completed, get the treasure box, and see if you can get a novel.

The second option is to customize directly with the system.

The former is fraught with uncertainty.

What if the novel is not drawn out?

As far as the explosion rate of those treasure chests in the past is concerned, it seems that the probability of getting a song is the highest.

The latter is relatively simple. With the foundation of krypton gold, Lin Yuan at least has a space to freely choose the subject matter.

He was in no hurry to make a decision.

Anyway, "The King of the Internet" has just ended, and Chu Kuang's little vest also needs to rest.

In the following days, Lin Yuan enjoyed the campus life.

Seriously attend classes during the day, eat three meals with Simple Xia Fan, and go to the painting club to teach painting in the spare time...

Lin Yuan likes such days.

Such days may seem monotonous, but in fact they are not static. Occasionally there will be some extracurricular activities interspersed as adjustments.

For example, the basketball game that Jian Jian mentioned last month.

Like the last blackboard newspaper selection, Qin Yi often held similar activities, and all departments were enthusiastic about participating, because the school could always give a bunch of rewards that people couldn't refuse.

This is the characteristic of Blue Star.

In a place like Blue Star that values ​​art, the outstanding performance of the campus will also be recorded in the file. Who wouldn't want to create the most beautiful resume before graduation——

Lin Yuan didn't want to.

His job is very stable, and the company leaders think highly of him.

Lin Yuan felt that there should not be much risk of unemployment after graduation.

So the basketball game has nothing to do with Lin Yuan.

In fact, even if Lin Yuan wanted to participate in the basketball game, he was not qualified.

His body is really too weak. I'm afraid that after half of the basketball game, Lin Yuan would already be lying on a stretcher and carried to the hospital.

However, the department attached great importance to this competition, so they selected some basketball masters from each class to form a participating team, and organized the entire composition department to go to the stadium to cheer for the participating students of the composition department.

It's a pity that I didn't refuel for two days.

The composition department was eliminated.

The participating students of the Composition Department left dejectedly.

The boy in the back row of Lin Yuan muttered: "This is too bad luck, I met the dance department in the second round of draw."

There was a basketball game when I was a freshman, and the dance department was the champion of the basketball game at that time.

No one wants to meet this kind of team early, but the composition department happened to meet it.
