Chapter 55 The Teacher
Is the novel's plot close to reality, is it a selling point?
In some cases, it should be more down-to-earth, gain more readers' recognition, and also help improve the performance of the work. But this does not mean that it can abuse the owner.
Many authors always think that as long as their novels are described in close to reality, they can naturally attract a large number of readers and popularity, but in fact this is not the case.
Readers will still not buy it if they abuse their masters in the name of being close to reality. No matter how hard you explain it, readers will leave if they are unhappy.
It has to be admitted that the mainstream reader group is all "glass-hearted" and cannot accept those heart-wrenching plots. As a qualified online literature author, of course, you should consider their feelings and try to avoid unhappy things in the article.
The essence of commercial writing is to take care of the needs and preferences of mainstream readers as much as possible, so that they can attract popularity and get enough rewards.
Do you have to abuse to reflect the connotation and depth of the article? Do you have to abuse to prove that you are not writing a novelty article? Only abuse can you gain more recognition and popularity?
Obviously not.
Just pursue the so-called literary and artistic nature, and make things that are heart-wrenching and abused by the Lord. Readers don’t send you blades or greet your family. Even if it’s good, you still want to subscribe? Want to get monthly tickets and rewards? Think beautifully!
Writing novels is actually the same as doing business. It is agile, always paying attention to the preferences of customers (readers) groups, and knowing how to cater to readers. Only those who are not open-minded and stubborn can be successful.
Shakespeare once said: "Only tragedy in this world can last forever."
Regardless of whether his views are reasonable or not, those literary writers regard this as a life creed. When writing books, they will feel uncomfortable if they don’t add some elements to abuse their masters.
In Xiao Yulan's memory, the works that had good grades were added to the plot of abuse because they believed in the bewitching and deception of some literary readers. In the end, there were more than one or two examples of their popularity that were greatly lost.
In this regard, even some great authors are inevitably struck by the thunder. There is an author who is quite famous in the field of game novels. Because some readers are constantly urging and urging, he made an important female character in the book be thrust by a group of gangsters. As a result, the book review area is immediately infuriated, and the screen is full of voices greeting his family, and the subscription data shows a cliff-like fall.
The author also felt aggrieved and angry, and scolded the readers in the book review area, "I wrote well before, but you always said it was a novelty article, and there was no new idea. Now that you have made changes, you all jumped. How can you satisfy you?"
No matter how wronged the author feels, the losses caused to him by this incident are quite large. Fortunately, he learned a lesson and never followed the ulterior motives of some readers.
So in this regard, Xiao Yulan would never accommodate the requirements of a few readers. She would rather be criticized by her novels as being superficial than to abuse her master to cater to their preferences and not torture her!
For example, if the owner of a restaurant is not stupid, he will definitely arrange the dishes in his own store according to the needs and preferences of customers. He will make whatever taste the customers like. This is the normal operation to retain the customer group.
If customers like to eat light flavors, they tend to promote spicy flavors and insist that this is their own specialty and let customers adapt to him, is this possible?
In the full market competition environment, only merchants have always accommodated customers, and there is no reason for customers to compromise with merchants. Unless you are monopolizing business, you have the trick of capital to play stores and bully customers.
The same is true for commercial writing. If you, the author, don’t care about the preferences of the mainstream readers, then readers will silently unfollow and go to find other books to read.
The reason why literary writers like to abuse their masters is not only influenced by real literary works is partly because of their unbalancedness: Why do they survive so much, but the protagonist in the novel lives happily and freely? So they must find some unhappiness for him!
The psychology of a few authors is actually quite dark. In their opinion, they are the gods in the novel world. Since they are gods, they can of course do whatever they want in their own world, control their rise, fall, honor and disgrace at will, and thus gain some inexplicable pleasure. This is a enjoyment that the tragic and miserable self in the real world cannot get.
The grievances and depression in life and all kinds of unsatisfactory things must be vented in the novel.
Xiao Yulan felt that he might need to open another book, titled "On the Self-cultivation of Online Writers", which explains all the secrets and taboo minefields of online literature creation, so that later new authors can avoid making those low-level mistakes.
After years of development in the online literature in his previous life, the theoretical system in this area has developed to a very mature stage. Qidian Literature Network will regularly hold writer training classes to guide authors how to write novels that are more in line with market demand. However, in this world, online literature is still in its infancy, and great authors are all exploring on their own, and theoretical guidance is still blank.
Therefore, Xiao Yulan believes that he can set a precedent in this field and transfer all the empirical theories that have been successfully verified in the online literature community in his previous life.
In this way, she is not only a successful master-level author, but also lays the theoretical foundation in the field of online literature and becomes a "teacher-level" existence. Her status is much higher than that of the Five White Masters of the Central Plains in her previous life.
As for whether the authors have learned experience, will they become more popular and threaten their status as a great god, so there is no need to worry about it.
No matter how powerful a great master is, it is impossible to satisfy all readers, and no matter how loyal a reader is, it is impossible to only read the works of a certain master. What should I mind about in this regard?
The next day, Xiao Yulan got up as usual, went to school after finishing cleaning.
However, at the entrance of the community, a brand new black Mercedes-Benz nanny car was parked quietly, and Miao Yueqing, dressed in formal clothes, was standing by the car waiting.
"Mr. Liu said that I will be responsible for picking up and dropping you off to school these days."
Seeing Xiao Yulan's figure, the beautiful young woman came up to him and said warmly.
"OK."
Xiao Yulan nodded, and Miao Yueqing took the initiative to pull open the sliding door and let her sit in before she could get into the car.
The driver in the driver's seat was a young woman with a calm and sharp eyes. Xiao Yulan glanced at him and concluded that the other party had practiced and was not weak.
The layout of the car is quite luxurious, with leather seats with massage function, embedded LCD TV, adjustable aircraft reading lights, front and rear intercom systems, wooden floors, small wine cabinets, refrigerators, LED light strips... All kinds of high-end facilities are not lacking.
The so-called nanny car is mainly used to serve celebrity actors. It has functions such as cooking, making up, changing clothes, rest and entertainment. It is usually more than 7 seats, and the interior space is spacious and comfortable.
When the crew films, the conditions in the outdoor location are often too poor, and there is no place to change clothes and rest, and the nanny car can perfectly solve these problems. In addition, when encountering busy schedules, it is convenient to use them to get rid of paparazzi reporters. It can also play a good role when it is siege and intercepted.
Therefore, nowadays, as long as the stars have the conditions, they will get themselves such a nanny car. This means whether the stars are doing well. You can tell whether they have a nanny car or not and whether they have a nanny car or not.
The nanny car started smoothly, and there was almost no feeling when the corners accelerated, and it was obvious that the performance was excellent.
"This car is an asset acquired by the company,"
Miao Yueqing explained: "Mr. Liu specially approved it for you to use, and it will be your special car in the future."
Xiao Yulan said in surprise: "But I am just a newcomer now and haven't brought any profit to the company yet. How can I afford such treatment?"
Miao Yueqing smiled and said, "This is true for other newcomers, but you are special. For you, becoming famous is not a problem at all, so these treatments are just for you!"
"All right."
Xiao Yulan did not continue to refuse pretentiously. Liu Yunfei was willing to take care of herself like this, and she wrote down this favor.
"Tell me something to you by the way."
Miao Yueqing continued: "Qingxue seems to have some bad intentions towards you. You must be careful in the future. The backer behind her is Xu Ruhui, the company's vice president."
"Qingxue?"
Xiao Yulan thought for a while and then vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a person in the entertainment industry. She did not chase stars in the past, so she was naturally not familiar with the so-called big stars.
"Well, that woman wanted to grab the advertising business that she booked for you, and she planned to let you participate in the company's business drinking activities. I stopped her, and Mr. Liu already knew about it." Miao Yueqing said.
Xiao Yulan's eyes turned slightly. It seemed that Qingxue's status was not as high as she thought. Xu Ruhui's authority was not as powerful as Liu Yunfei, otherwise the matter would not have been pushed back with Miao Yueqing.
Of course, this also shows that because of her own reasons, Liu Yunfei gave this agent quite a lot of authority, otherwise she would not be able to say no to the company's vice president.
She frowned and said, "It seems that I will have one more enemy in the company in the future. The problem is that I have never even met that woman before, so why should she target me?"
Miao Yueqing said disrespectfully: "This is the case in the company. There are limited resources and there are too many monks and less porridge. If you get more, others will get less! So the competition in the entire entertainment industry is very fierce."
Xiao Yulan nodded slightly. This kind of thing was not difficult to understand, and it was impossible to avoid at all. Qingxue was the first one, but she would never be the last one.
After pausing, Miao Yueqing smiled and said, "It's okay. With Mr. Liu here, no one dares to make an idea about you, let alone... With your conditions, it's really not easy to find someone who can compete for you."
She didn't continue to say it, but the look of the girl beside her had a vague look of awe, but Xiao Yulan didn't notice it.
