303. Outline(1/2)
In June, the Finance Institute’s exam week ends.
Jiang Miao ushered in the end of his junior year, and Su Huaizhou, who had obtained his graduation certificate, also put a perfect end to his four-year college career.
"You want to go back to Linping?"
During lunch, Su Huaizhou heard grandma say she was going back to Linping, and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly think of going back?"
"It's not that you want to move back, you just stay there for a while." Xu Guiying explained, "I haven't met Guifang and the others for a long time. I'm a rare opportunity to go back once, so I plan to stay for a longer time before coming back."
"Oh~" Su Huaizhou nodded suddenly.
Speaking of which, Xu Guiying moved to Jingjiangshan Mansion for almost a year, and she really didn't see her sister for a long time.
During the Chinese New Year, due to the recurrence of influenza and the habits of the past two years, they did not visit relatives, and at most they just call to express their condolences.
It is probably because Su Huaizhu graduated and Jiang Miao also had summer vacation. Both of them had more time to take care of themselves. Xu Guiying chose this time point and planned to go back to see relatives.
"Then where will you live?" Su Huaizhou asked with a frown.
"Your dad rented a house, but living in it is not a big problem."
"Okay." Su Huaixiang nodded and agreed, "Then I'll ask him to send me the address."
"Why should we go back and stay for a few days?" Jiang Miao, who was having dinner, suggested.
"What are we going back?" Su Huaixiang looked confused, "I still have to go to work."
"You have both comics on the right track now, even if you work from home, it's okay." Jiang Miao said, "And my sister gave birth to a litter of kittens. Don't you want to meet them in advance? By the way, choose which one to ask for."
"Already gave birth?" When the kitten was mentioned, Su Huaizhu immediately became energetic and asked with his eyes glowing, "How many have you given birth?"
"It seems like three." Jiang Miao took out his phone and clicked on the WeChat chat record with Tang Zhuqing, and found the photo he sent to him two days ago, "Here, look."
There are three little cats in the photo. Although they are all tabby cats, they each inherited the genes from their parents, a little orange cat with an orange back, a black and white tabby cat, and a little white cat with pure white body.
The three little ones are only over a month old, all of them are small, and they can be easily held in the palm of their hands, probably as big as Jiang Miao's slap.
Just seeing the photos, Su Huaizhu's heart was about to melt.
"I will apply to work from home tomorrow!"
"Where do you want to live if you go back with Jiang Miao?" Xu Guiying asked, "Your dad rents only two beds."
Su Huaizhu: "Um..."
"Live with me directly." Jiang Miao said naturally, "I haven't lived before. I'll just live in the fish pond at that time."
"Where do you have so many bedrooms in the fish pond..." Su Huaixiang complained.
"My sister sleeps in such a big room by herself, so it's better to waste space if she doesn't make up two people." Jiang Miao said with a shameless face.
Su Huaizhu: "..."
"Besides, by then, there will be five kittens in the room. Are you excited just thinking about it?"
After being deceived by his junior, Su Huaizhou was suddenly a little confused. Thinking of the feeling of being surrounded by five kittens, he fell into a furry fantasy world.
"Then, that's OK... After all, I'm going to see the kitten..."
Su Huaizhu reluctantly agreed.
This time it's really forced.
After all, if you sleep in the same bedroom as Tang Zhuqing, it is inconvenient to do many more interesting things.
...
In the evening, Jiang Miao finished typing and uploaded the 8,000-word chapter updated today. Looking at the number of words displayed on Qidian, he jumped from 1.99 million to 2 million words, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I finally broke through the two million words mark." Su Huaizhuang, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but smile and congratulate, "How many have you ordered?"
"More than 24,000, it's basically not rising." Jiang Miao stretched and said.
After the end of the fifth volume, the male and female protagonists confessed frankly to each other, breaking the last layer of window paper, and the subscription once reached its peak.
But just like in previous works, once the emotional line breaks through to its peak, it will basically go down the mountain in the future.
However, this book also has a main plot that supports the tension of the plot. Even if the male and female protagonists are together, they can still be maintained by sprinkling sugar and advancing the main line.
Currently, Jiang Miao planned outline has a total of eight volumes. After the fifth volume is over, the sixth volume mainly focuses on the daily life after the two are honest, so as to relieve the tension in the plot and lay some foreshadowing for the final climax of the finale.
When the seventh volume is reached, the male and female protagonists will work together to deal with the Demon Sect’s worship hall and then launch an uprising to overthrow the Demon Sect.
When the seventh volume ends, the previous foreshadowing will be revealed at the end, revealing the secrets behind the Demon Cult one by one, and entering the final eighth volume.
The content of the last volume is much simpler. After the destruction of the Demon Cult was over, the two of them retired to the mountains and forests and lived a free and peaceful life.
Jiang Miao was too lazy to continue to do the reversal of great suffering and deep hatred, the shocking secret of Shi Potian, or the blackening of the righteous alliance.
After all, the core of this book is still a love story with a fantasy skin. The main line of overthrowing the Demon Cult is just to support the plot of the novel, the heart and the intertwined flesh and blood are all contained in the sour smell of love.
Since the two of them have come together after going through ups and downs and successfully overthrew the Demon Cult, they will not do anything and make a lot of reversals.
Although the score is more than 20,000 yuan, if you write a few million words, you will only make more money.
But for Jiang Miao, that would have consumed his creative passion and inspiration too much, and it would have been completely unworthy of the loss.
You should know that from the time it was released in October last year to the time it reached 2 million words in June, with a paid word count of 1.8 million, and a subscription of 24,000 yuan. The pure subscription royalty is nearly one million.
Not to mention the full attendance, monthly awards, rewards, distribution through various channels and the sale of fragmented copyrights.
Just such a book has brought about 1.5 million yuan in revenue to Jiang Miao.
Moreover, in the future, he will only continue to bring him a long-lasting follow-up fee.
A book like him that can be ordered at least 20,000 during the serialization period will increase to at least 30,000 after completion.
If the promotion efforts are greater and the time scale is longer, it is not impossible to 40,000 to 50,000.
The subscription royalties for this part alone may have to be tens of thousands per month.
Not to mention other copyrights, including film and television copyrights, have a great chance of being favored by film and television companies.
By then, the income from film and television copyright alone may directly cover Jiang Miao's subscription royalties for the entire book.
This is why some top authors prefer to try topics suitable for copyright development.
Just because selling copyrights is really good, it is much more delicious than the subscription fee.
"Then how many words do you have in this book end?" Su Huaizhou asked, "It's all two million words, why don't you try to make three million words?"
"I can only read it while walking." Jiang Miao spread his hands, "There are still three volumes of content, so I can write as much as I can."
In fact, if he wants to, the eighth volume describes the days when the male and female protagonists retire to the mountains and forests. It is not a problem to use this to lead to a new plot.
But he prefers a book that is complete and complete, and wherever it is written, he thinks it is very suitable for the ending, and it is time for the book to end.
If we look at the average number of words in the first five volumes of nearly 400,000 words, it is probably not a problem to write three million words in this book.
"It's June now, and there's still one million to three million words." Su Huaixiang calculated for him with his fingers, "If we can keep updating 8,000 words every day, it will take more than four months, and at the latest it will be three million words by November!"
"Starting the sixth volume, I plan to retire 6,000 words a day." Jiang Miao leaned on the back of the chair and yawned, "It's so tiring to have 8,000 words a day."
"Then there are only five or six months left, and it will be achieved by the end of the next semester." Su Huaixiang continued to calculate for him, and then asked curiously, "If this book is finished, what are you going to write for the next book?"
"I didn't think about it." Jiang Miao shook his head, "but he still plans to write some urban background, with a slightly strange element."
"Extraordinary element?" Su Huaixiang tilted her head.
"The easiest thing is to travel through time and rebirth." Jiang Miao was mentioned by Su Huaizhu, and he really started to think about it. He touched his chin and thought, "I had an inspiration material before, which was travel through time and rebirth... Let's take a look."
As he said that, he opened his own library of inspiration, which has accumulated about forty new books that can be written.
However, after most of them were put on the Inspiration Curtain for a while, Jiang Miao had lost the desire to write after watching it again.
However, Jiang Miao will not delete it. If you look at it one day in the future, you may have a new creative passion for one of the subjects.
What he clicked now is a landlord theme that he talked about when he was bored in the author group a while ago.
The male protagonist inherited a school district house from his late parents, and all four rooms were converted into bedrooms that could be rented out.
Because he had to go to school, he lived in one and rented the other three.
"What is this?" Su Huaixiang looked dangerous and saw a line of suspicious settings.
[Lease announcement: Only female tenants are recruited, with a full score of ten, and rent can be reduced and exempted based on the score]
"Cough..." Jiang Miao felt a little embarrassed, "It's just a random setting."
"As soon as you post this announcement, I'm afraid there is no serious girl who will come to rent a house at all, right?" Su Huaixiang glanced at him, "You are very suspicious."
"emmm... I just had a brainstorm when I wrote this thing, and I didn't think so much." Jiang Miao explained helplessly, "If you really want to write this kind of subject, you must have a more rigorous setting."
"Then you show me the truth?" Su Huaixiang looked disbelieving, "Will you rent three bedrooms here? Are you just three female characters? Isn't it a single female protagonist?"
"It's the setting of the harem text." Jiang Miao laughed, "Is the senior sister jealous?"
"What's the jealous thing about me?"
"It's safe. Even if you write a harem text, the characteristics of several heroines must be all taken from you, senior sister."
"I didn't mind this!"
"If I really write this in my new book, can I ask my senior sister to help me get three copies of the materials?"
