By June, Liu Xiaochuan's Huanshi Literature Network was finally up and running, with only a dozen people in the entire company.

Liu Xiaochuan still poached a corner of his company and called Huang Muling, the front desk clerk of Qihang Company, to be the vice president and help him with his work.

In addition to Liu Xiaochuan and Huang Muling, the new company also has two people responsible for website maintenance, two people responsible for marketing and promotion, a front desk, and the rest are editors.Among these editors, only 5 people will be left in the end, but the second round of interviews Liu Xiaochuan mentioned has not been carried out for a long time. Everyone is kept in the dark and is very curious.Anyway, there is nothing to do now, and there is still salary, so I am not in a hurry.

In the early days of the website's establishment, it was just an empty shell, so the task at this stage is to contact some publishing houses and writers to buy the copyright of the electronic version of the work from them. Because it is only published on the website for readers to browse, and no other rights and interests are involved, it is estimated that this Some costs won’t be high.Liu Xiaochuan's principle for the operation department is to not buy any books that are too expensive. They are just for filling up the library anyway, and they only need to get a few good books to support their appearance.

The ultimate goal of setting up a website is to write online articles. This was still the barbaric era of online literature, so where to find people to contribute was a problem.The submission phone number and email address must be listed on the website, but at this stage, except for my own people, basically no one else browses the website.Therefore, Liu Xiaochuan first mobilized his own editors to write novels, and then asked them to mobilize their friends and classmates around them to submit manuscripts.

In another 20 years, online literature has developed vigorously, and the number of online articles can be described as vast. Although the content is mixed and the content is mixed, there are quite a few masterpieces, and countless dramas have been adapted for the screen. Unclear.

But now, Pandora's box has not been opened, and everyone has not experienced the baptism of Internet literature. Liu Xiaochuan decided to make up a few story outlines and show them to several editors, and then let them write.

The themes of online articles, such as time travel, cultivating immortality, apocalypse, rebirth, and systems, no matter which one is written in this era, are quite explosive. Pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger, pretend to be a fool, and slap in the face. These bad street routines are now used. It's definitely very attractive.

Monsters cannot be released from their cages at once, so Liu Xiaochuan decided to come up with time-travel themes first. After all, there are already books about time-travel.I bought a dozen copies of Mr. Huang's "Looking for Qin" from the bookstore and showed them to several editors. These people are all literature lovers and have read a lot of martial arts novels. Have you read Xiang Shaolong's story? of!

When it comes to time-travel novels, "Looking for Qin" is not the earliest, but it is definitely the first to be famous. Many people even think that it is the originator of time-travel novels, and Liu Xiaochuan thinks so too.

Two days later, Liu Xiaochuan came again.

"Everyone, you have been reading "Looking for Qin" in the past few days. Do you think this kind of novel is very novel and attractive? Isn't it magical for a modern person to travel to ancient times?"

"It's indeed magical. I was so attracted by this novel that I lit a lamp and boiled oil to read it at night."

"It looks good, but it doesn't make sense logically. Don't there have to be limits when making up stories?"

Everyone was talking and discussing, and they had all kinds of opinions.

Liu Xiaochuan pressed his hand slightly, and when everyone was quiet, he said: "Our fantasy world literature focuses on fantasy literature. If we really talk about logic, then "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen" will be even more unreadable. Those myths, legends, and even stories are not made up, so as long as the story is interesting. The reason why I show you "Looking for Qin" is to let you follow this logic and write novels. This is also our second The content of the interview round.”

As soon as Liu Xiaochuan finished speaking, everyone was shocked. Unexpectedly, in the second round of interviews, everyone was asked to write novels. Although everyone was a lover of literature, they had never written a novel themselves.At most I have written diaries, compositions, love letters, or submitted an article to the school newspaper.

"Everyone must be full of things to ask, so don't worry. I'll finish my words first and let you all talk freely in a while. I'll first talk about how to write this kind of time-travel novel. In fact, we can open up the idea a bit and Xiang Shaolong travels through the Warring States Period. , can we travel through other eras? For example, we can have the protagonist travel through the late Ming Dynasty to save the Ming Dynasty. We can travel through the Song Dynasty to avoid the shame of Jingkang, and we can travel through the Tang Dynasty to avoid the Anshi Rebellion."

Liu Xiaochuan paused for a moment to let everyone digest his words, "Of course, the protagonists in your novels can also travel through the prosperous times. Let's imagine what we can do when we return to ancient times with modern knowledge. We can focus on war, or we can focus on romance. , you can even travel to the world of martial arts, compete with Guo Jing for Huang Rong, and write whatever you are good at. The main thing is to think about what content can attract readers."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaochuan started to draw ideas and conceived the framework of a novel on the spot. He had read many novels in his previous life, and this kind of framework came easily.

The dozen or so people sitting below were all stunned. Damn it, it can still be like this, but it is really interesting to write about it.

"Boss, is it necessary to write this kind of time-travel novel?" Someone finally couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's not necessary. I'm just providing an idea. If you think that this kind of book may not be read by people, you can also write traditional literary works, martial arts, romance, whatever you want to write, it all depends on who you want to read. The writing is good and attractive. We will ultimately decide whether to stay or not based on everyone’s works.”

Many people are eager to write novels by themselves. Of course, some people have raised their opinions, "Does it have to be written by myself? Shouldn't our editor's job mainly be to review manuscripts for others? I didn't expect that I would have to write by myself!" "

Liu Xiaochuan glanced at the man and said, "You have to write. The editor's job is indeed mainly to review manuscripts, but you must have the ability to write. If someone doesn't want to write, they can quit now, and our salary will be settled until today. "

The man glanced at everyone, but no one agreed with him. After thinking about it, he stood up and left.Liu Xiaochuan didn't say anything, but asked Huang Muling to settle his salary immediately and let him leave.

"If you still want to leave, you can bring it up. We are free to come and go here and we will never force anyone to do so."

Seeing that no one said anything, Liu Xiaochuan continued: "Don't worry, I won't let you waste your brain cells in vain. In addition to the normal salary, I will pay extra for the manuscripts you write, which is temporarily 5 per thousand words." Yuan's standard, if it is well written, the standard will be raised again."

After Liu Xiaochuan said this, there were thunderous cheers below. Unexpectedly, there was still royalties. No one would be able to write the standard of 5 yuan per thousand words in 20 years, but it is not low now. Some tentacle monsters can write tens of thousands of words or even more every day. Tens of thousands of words, that’s a lot of money in a month. The key is that this is extra income besides salary, which is very good!
