Chapter 93 Is This a Recommendation? It's the Customs of the World

Qidian Editorial Department, Group 2 Office.

Xiaoxing has been a little angry these days.

He was extremely angry and raged for several days.

Now I no longer drink Tieguanyin with wolfberry, but drink honeysuckle with chrysanthemum tea to relieve fire.

The editor-in-chief of the second group, Ming He, saw that Xiaoxing's state was a little strange these days, so he came over and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Xiaoxing, why are you so angry?"

"Editor-in-Chief, nothing's wrong. It's just that things went a bit beyond my expectations. I'm just unhappy."

"Talk to me and see if you can help me."

Styx pulled the editor's chair next to him where he was going to take a paid shit, sat down, and pretended to listen.

Xiaoxing glanced at the computer, then at the Styx, and sighed.

"It's Puding."

"Oh? Did the great author make you angry?"

"Editor-in-chief, look at the time when he publishes his book. He published 100,000 words directly on the 26th, and then 10,000 words a day. It will be on the shelves on August 1st. It's like he deliberately didn't let me recommend him. It's totally wrong. How can there be such an author? Respect is mutual. This time, he went too far! With his previous achievements, he could have applied for additional recommendations, but he put it on the shelves. I only have 50 first orders, how can I get it for him? I think if I don’t care about him and let him buy it, he will know how to respect our rules.”

Styx nodded.

"Well, what I did is not quite right. The newbie can understand, but the old author shouldn't be like this. So, are you going to teach him a lesson and let him know our editor's rights?"

"I, I, don't think so. I just think he is too smooth sailing and a little too arrogant. He thinks that he can become famous just by writing. This is obviously impossible! Our efforts are also very important. Colleagues from new media, colleagues from WeChat reading, copyright My colleagues in the department are all working hard for his book to sell well."

Styx nodded again.

"So...you want him to pay for his willfulness, right?"

Xiaoxing hesitated for a moment: "Maybe I have this idea."

Styx patted Xiaoxing and showed a look of hatred.

"You said everything went smoothly for Puding, so why didn't you? You were promoted to a regular position after more than a month after joining the job, and you continued to publish follow-up manuscripts and get bonuses. You don't know how much the new editors from other groups envy you! But today, I have to teach you a lesson."

"He is the king of channels and can be willful. Can you be willful?"

"cannot!"

"If he flops, who will he blame? Will he blame himself for his original choice? Obviously not! He will blame you for not arranging recommendations for him!"

"What will happen when people run away?"

"In a better situation, if he goes to another group, the most that our group will receive is less bonus. But if he goes to another novel website, think about the consequences. Don't look at the kind-hearted boss Xingchen. "You have never seen him get so angry that you just get out of here in anger."

"So you have to understand that this is not a question of whether Pu decides to recommend it, but a question of whether you can keep your job as an editor!"

"Now, tell me loudly, what are you going to do!?"

Xiaoxing's eyes widened, her expression changing from confusion to shock to shame to excitement.

He said directly, "It's within the reach of death."

"I understand the editor-in-chief, I overestimated myself, so I will give Pu Ding the highest recommendation that the old author can get! Even if it is on the shelves, our second team will still recommend it! Go directly to the home page to block the recommendation !”

There was a teachable expression in Styx's eyes.

"Hey~ That's right. High recommendations are reserved for authors like this. In this way, even if he flops on this book, will he still blame you?"

"Won't!"

"Is this a recommendation? It's a human connection."

Styx shook his head and walked away. Xiaoxing looked at the editor's thick back, his eyes full of respect.

This is a senior editor, no wonder he can be the editor-in-chief.

I just happened to find Pu Ding, a good author. Once I lose him, all my bonuses will be lost, and I may even lose my job!

The consequences are simply unacceptable!

Mother is more valuable than her son.

Isn't it because he, a new editor who has only been on the job for less than a year, is respected by everyone in the Qidian editorial department because he has a trump card and a steady stream of manuscripts from new channels?

After losing Pu Ding, I am still nothing, I am still nothing!

"Big push on the homepage, go! Find the master who needs you most! Save him from the fire and water!"

"In the future, when Pu Ding takes off, he will definitely remember who helped him when he needed help the most."

"There are many icings on the cake, but few icings on the cake. Editor-in-Chief, I understand the meaning of Qidian's editing work."

Pu Jie:（*゜ー゜*）

He tremblingly opened the message pushed by the writer's assistant.

[Hello, we are now notifying you that your work "Legend of the Stars" will be recommended by Qidian Client at 00:00:00 on August 5th. Please be sure to keep updated for unfinished works. In case of emergency, please contact your editor Xiaoxing in time. Thank you for your cooperation! 】

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Fuck, rush, rush, rush!"

"Knife, where's my knife!"

"Damn it, Xiaoxing, I'm so incompatible with you!!!"

Looking at the recommendations that suddenly appeared, Pu Jie's head was buzzing.

He had just said that he was calm, and in less than 3 seconds, he died suddenly.

Big push!

This is Qidian’s highest honor!

The recommended books are at least excellent books, or new books written by great writers!

After scrolling on the Qidian website and app for 4 days, all users can see them at the first sight when they enter Qidian to search for books!

This is a huge wave of traffic!

Pu Jie feels that at this moment, the system's 1.6 million subsidy is about to plummet.

"What should I do? What should I do? I have to think of a way. I can't let this wave of traffic ruin my good start!"

Pu Jie forced himself to calm down and analyzed today's events with his negative experience of 5 years of failure and 1 year of becoming a god by accident.

How to reduce the effect of the recommended position!

If it is Longkong's online literature enthusiasts and authors who write for fun, they must have no tricks at this time.

Because they always believe in one truth: the reason why some books take off is because there are many recommendations, and the reason why they don't take off is because there are no recommendations. If there is enough traffic support, everyone can beat the best-selling writers.

With this idea, this problem has no solution.

But. Is the online literature world of Qidian really like this?

In other words, Qidian has been able to stand at the top of online literature for so many years, creating countless gods and producing a large number of popular IPs. Is it because of the accumulation of resources and oppression of newcomers?

Theoretically, it is unlikely, right?

So, there is another most important variable!

Perhaps, this thing is the reason why Qidian can stand firm.

Quality!

The quality of the book.

Whether a novel can stand out may have nothing to do with resources and traffic. Those are icing on the cake. The real decision whether a book can take off is still based on quality.

Don’t the resources and traffic of the great writers at Qidian have much?

As strong as the milk knight, the resources of the new book can be called the most luxurious in history. The entire website paves the way for the new book. As long as you are a reader of Qidian, you can see this book under the overwhelming publicity.

In the end, it is just a boutique level of one million words, which was hastily concluded.

Does anyone still think that traffic is invincible?

Obviously not.

Like the mortals in the previous life, more than 300,000 words were not signed, but they still took off in the end.

Pu Jie will start from this aspect!

Is his book of high quality?

Not high!

All the books written by so many big names on Qidian are outstanding in writing, with wonderful stories and depth.

As a writer of amateur articles, he is definitely not as good as them.

But he can't lower the quality any more. He tried to write some boring plots casually and was warned by the system.

Once he has the mentality of giving up and writing something casually to deal with the update, the system will warn him. Even if he stops updating, he will not be allowed to post a bunch of boring texts that are forced together.

Therefore, he can only think of another way to make readers realize in advance that the quality of the book is not high, so as to give up clicking in to read.

"To discourage readers, we should do it from three dimensions: book title, introduction, and comment area."

Secretly update during the day, no one finds out (PS: there are also at night)
