Chapter 187 The Successor of Xiaoxing's Will - Styx (Updated, 24/135)

Chapter 187 The successor of Xiaoxing’s will—Styx (additional update, 24135)

After a while.

The second editorial team was silent.

No one can find a suitable adjective to evaluate Pu Ding's new book.

If I had to say one word, it would be

Strange!

Very strange!

Unspeakably strange!

The first five chapters of the entire work seem to talk about a lot of things, but not everything is explained clearly.

As an old editor, Styx has amazing reading ability and perfect understanding ability.

After reading the first five chapters of "Infinite Time and Space", he was actually a little dizzy.

too messy.

There were so many people at the beginning that he couldn't even remember their names. Fortunately, the protagonist's name was quite distinctive, so he remembered Zheng Tuo.

But... what do you do when you recruit a group of foreigners?

Who can remember so many foreign names?

"resident Evil"? Where's the little movie?

Styx clarified his thoughts. He felt that it must be because he had never seen the movie "Resident Evil", so he could not substitute into the plot of Pu's new book.

After searching this term on Baidu.

"I guess you are looking for 'Biochemical Fertilizer Hazards and Organic Fertilizer Hazards'. Do you want to insist on searching for 'Biochemical Hazard'?"

Styx: "."

Three other editors: "."

Something doesn't seem right.

"Damn it! There is no such movie! What the hell!"

Styx jumped up from his chair, feeling that Pu Ding was messing around.

Among the books on Qidian, some authors quoted the world view of a certain film and television work, and then the story happened in it.

Some are fan works.

Some of them were modified by magic and some things were added to become their own world view.

However, everyone has some impression of the world view of the original work. Even if they have not read the original work, they have at least heard of it, or other book friends who have read it can help explain it in the comments. Everyone has a great time reading it together and can understand the background of the world. .

But Pu decided what he was doing!

A non-existent movie allows the protagonist to enter this world?

There is also an explanation of part of the plot in the article, but you can only follow the protagonist's perspective and see where you go.

The "zombie", "crawler", and "flame queen" that suddenly appeared are all amazing things after all!

In just five chapters, Styx already feels that his brain capacity is a bit insufficient.

"How do you feel?"

The other three editors chewed their teeth and looked embarrassed.

"It has a very distinctive beginning. It seems to be a group time-traveling novel, but one thing is that the protagonist is not the first to time-travel. There are also "seniors" in it, who are dictating to the protagonist and have to listen to him. The protagonist’s situation is so ordinary, I feel like everyone has the same experience with this golden finger.”

"I think the world background at the beginning of Pu Ding's book is too big. Many terms appear in some of his descriptions, such as 'umbrella company', 'flame queen', 'virus laboratory', etc. It seems that there is a complete set of The logic is the same, but as you, the editor-in-chief, just saw, there is no such movie at all. It is his own original plot. It is very strange. It’s not that it’s bad. It’s just such a big start. It’s different from what he did before. The style of his books is so different that I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle it and readers won’t be able to relate to it.”

"Now when we talk about the beginning of online articles, when we talk to our authors, we usually ask them not to have more than three main characters. This is the average threshold that the audience can remember. If it is higher, they will start to be irritable and impatient. In this case , if the plot is not outstanding, it is easy to abandon the book. There are not only more than 3 characters in his opening, but more than 13, which is too exaggerated. I feel that none of our platinum authors at Qidian dare to do so many. This is because Challenge readers’ concentration! ”

After listening to the analysis of the three editors, Styx nodded frequently.

"Everything makes sense. This beginning can be said to be a blatant provocation to the reading habits of Qidian readers. Moreover, by doing this, he is even more unfriendly to his old readers. He has finally cultivated a group of readers who love to read short stories. , as a result, the new book starts like this. I am afraid that it will directly filter out its original readership. "

Everyone shook their heads, not optimistic about this beginning.

Even if there are no obvious poisonous points such as cuckoldry, giving away girls, and abusing the master, the entire reading experience is developing in the direction of dissuading people.

At least the editor looked very uncomfortable.

After being silent for a long time, Styx suddenly said: "But I still have a question. After you finish reading, do you want to read it later?"

The three editors were stunned.

Then they all said: "Think!"

A smile appeared on Styx's face. He took out a pair of black-framed flat glasses from the drawer and put them on himself, then raised the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

The editors seemed to see a flash of cold light.

"hiss!"

This action seems familiar!

Styx: "Next, I will try to replace Xiaoxing and analyze Pu Ding's true intention!"

Yes!

small star!

Whenever Xiaoxing makes this move, it is the moment to reveal the mystery to everyone.

He can always analyze the real meaning behind Pu Ding's seemingly problematic operations!

Unexpectedly, Xiaoxing is gone, but Xiaoxing’s soul is still with the second group.

The boss of Styx has inherited this characteristic!

A confident smile like a little star hung on the corner of Styx's mouth.

"Yes! Pu Dingle's books have always been like this. No matter what plot he writes, it will always hook you to read on. Even if the beginning is strange, there are enough hidden points to make everyone want to read on. How will the plot of the movie develop? Can these people survive this horror movie?"

Minghe took another look at the category of "Infinite Time and Space".

"I roughly understand why Pu Dingle chose the suspense category. Although the world where the protagonist lives is like a future world, it is more appropriate to put it in science fiction, but. He put it in suspense, which laid the tone for the whole book, full of suspense background! If you want to see the truth of the matter, you have to explore step by step."

"As we all know! Readers of suspense are the most patient readers. They will understand the protagonist's true intentions from one incredible operation after another, and they will also deconstruct the weirdness, so that the real information hidden under the hazy description of the whole story is exposed. Pu Dingle's book is a thick fog. Only readers of suspense can have enough patience to read it and find some clues from it."

The three editors suddenly realized.

"Hiss! It's just the beginning, but there's already such a deep game?"

Minghe's smile was still on his face. He said, "What we see is often what we see from the perspective of an editor. We will judge whether a book is in line with the market, whether there are similar successful works, and whether there are similar books that have failed. Experience is very important to us. The novel industry also relies on this accumulation, but... Let's not forget that experience is ineffective for the author Pu Ding! He can always come up with something new and lead a new trend!"

"So, no matter how this book is in the early stage, whether we are optimistic or not, since Pu Ding has been brewing for three months, it must be very meaningful. You have to know that his previous books are basically All of them are seamlessly connected, and each can lead the market trend. This book has been carefully prepared for three months, so it is impossible to be a mediocre work. "

"Pu Dingle has great ambitions!"

"Editor Xiaoxing and I have learned the most important thing! That is. When you don't understand what Pu Dingle is doing, just let the bullet fly for a while, and his true thoughts will always be exposed later. And what we have to do is"

The three editors were concentrating, and they were already getting into the good things with Minghe, and they couldn't wait to ask:

"What? What to do?"

"What we have to do is to lend him a hand! Give the recommendation in place, and Pu Dingle will naturally do the rest. "

Minghe took off his glasses and felt that he had made some progress.

When Pu Dingle heard him talk about the recommendation position before, he was obviously impatient, and he just tasted it.

It was because he thought he couldn't be open and honest, and he was evasive and said "I will try my best to arrange the recommendation position", which was too vague!

What does Pu Dingle need?

It is to believe him without thinking!

Pu Dingle will directly increase the recommendation!

Minghe immediately applied for a small speaker recommendation position on the homepage of the app for Pu Dingle's new book. Just when he was about to report a big recommendation, his brows suddenly frowned.

Then they relaxed.

"Oh!!! I understand. Pu Dingle chose this time to publish the book for another reason, to use his power to promote the new book!"

"Well, the big recommendation is just right to be placed after that, so the effect will be better."

The second point that Minghe learned from Xiaoxing: Never simply look at each of Pu Dingle's actions, you must think carefully to find the deep meaning in them. If you find a lot of them, it must be all within his expectations.

Pu Dingle chose this time to publish the book. It is definitely not accidental. He must have known the news!
