What Should I Do If the System Forces Me To Copy Books?

The heated discussion of "The Gift of the Maggie" spread quickly, and it was no surprise that it was widely sought after.

The direct consequence of this is-

The latest pageviews on the official website of the Seven Star Literature Cup, which has entered the preliminary stage, have increased by at least 50% year-on-year compared to the audition stage. Whether it is for the event organizers or the countries that really support behind it, it is a welcome thing. Maybe follow-up The finals are also worth looking forward to.

The name Li Chungang quickly entered the field of vision of short story lovers.

Even some well-known writers who focus on the field of short stories have secretly remembered Li Chungang, a young writer who has suddenly risen recently, through the two consecutive short stories of "The Necklace" and "The Gift of the Maggie". It was also at this time that Li Chungang started In the circle of short story writers, it is beginning to become famous.

Some people say, didn't Li Chungang write online novels before?

This is indeed the case. Compared with his achievements in short stories, most people's habitual impression of him is still the pseudonym "Zhichunzhigang" and his amazing achievements in online novels, and his amazing achievements in online literature must be To a certain extent suppressed his talent in short stories.

A certain identity is more dazzling, and this happens naturally!

Perhaps "Youth Talk" is the first time that most people who like traditional literature know the three words "Li Chungang", this person's first time, but after he fully devoted his energy to online novels, there was no more in it for a long time. Any work on traditional literature that appeared, quickly disappeared from the public eye.

So it wasn't until he participated in this year's Seven Star Literature Cup and published two short stories in a row in the audition and preliminary stage that everyone realized again——

It turns out that Li Chungang has the same talent in traditional literature!

However, it is undeniable that he is still a complete newcomer in the field of short stories, and there is still a long way to go.

It is very likely that some people will say that "The Gift of the Maggie" is not a very famous short story in another dimension, and after the result is published, readers are so casually shocked and it's over?

It is fully understandable to have such a taken-for-granted view.

After all, literary creation in reality is actually quite different from online novels, and it is impossible to replicate the rise to the sky like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

The classics that have been regarded as masterpieces by countless later generations can only cause heated discussions for a while when they were first released. When everyone hears that a certain work is a world-class masterpiece, the first thing that comes to mind is the distance between this work and its official release time. How long has it been-

This also leads to the sharp edges and corners of the contemporary real conferred gods.

More often, time brews those classic masterpieces!

Li Chungang is naturally an exception to that exception. He does not need to wait for a death to realize the consecration of the gods. The literary library he has is an inexhaustible literary treasure.

"Chungang, I want to ask you a favor for something."

The person who came to the news was Hou Cheng, the editor-in-chief of Manjinghua Publishing House. He just added a friend of Li Chungang some time ago, saying that he was the new editor-in-chief of the publishing house who was in charge of the publishing of the new book "Dragon Race". As for the previous editor-in-chief, he was not quite sure. But you can probably guess that it should be a promotion and a salary increase to reach the pinnacle of life.

The other party called him for help as soon as he opened his mouth, which was the first time.

Li Chungang was curious and asked, "What is it?"

The other party's reply was also very fast: "That's it, our publishing house has reached a cooperation agreement with Longteng Chinese.com and signed the simplified publishing copyright of several excellent works. The fastest one is estimated to be on sale soon. I mean can I ask you to help write a preface to this book or something."

Help with the sequence! ?

Li Chungang was astonished, not knowing what to answer for a while. Because generally speaking, the prefaces of published works are invited by some seniors in the industry or well-known colleagues. There is also a popular saying that...

Anyone who can write a preface to someone else's work is almost a good friend who has a good relationship. Otherwise, if the preface is not well written, not only will it not have a good effect, but it may have adverse effects.

In fact, this situation is very common. In bookstores, most of the physical book covers of published works will have the words "Highly Recommended by Famous Internet Writers XXX" written, and then open the cover. The first thing that catches your eye is not the direct content. It is the preface written with the help of the famous author, recommending this book to the readers and increasing the sales volume.

After all, not every published author is Li Chungang. The physical books published by many authors can sell for more than six figures, which is already a high incense. As for the millions of books like him, looking at the entire publishing industry, It is one of a kind, so sometimes the fame of some great authors is used to help promote it.

Under normal circumstances, the authors of the online articles who are on the same novel website have no opinion on this. Everyone eats in the same pot without looking up and seeing each other. It is not that difficult to write a preface. It is completely free. , Sometimes being convenient with others means being convenient for oneself, and no one may need help with anything in the future.

However, it was the first time for Li Chungang to help someone write a preface.

After thinking about it for a while, he replied, "Okay~www.readwn.com~ no problem."

Hou Cheng, the editor-in-chief on the computer side, was overjoyed when he saw it. He originally wanted to give it a try. After all, there was not much friendship between the two before this. Being rejected righteously, I hurriedly said, "Thank you so much, wait a moment... I'll send you the link to the work and the relevant template examples right away."

Li Chungang: "This is not a big deal. The preface can be completed in a while, but before that, I have a small condition."

When Hou Cheng saw it, he was stunned for a moment like a conditioned reflex: "Condition, what condition?"

Li Chungang told the truth: "To tell the truth, I have a few friends who want to find a way of physical publishing, and I have seen the quality of the works and they are all very good, but I have not contacted the publisher yet, so I I would like to ask editor-in-chief Hou for help to see if these works have the opportunity to be published in physical form. Don’t worry, I just ask the editor-in-chief to help review it, even if the review fails, it doesn’t matter, you just need to help to review it.”

He was talking about the authors newly signed by the company. The subscription results that were discovered by the company and signed were actually good, but it was too difficult for some people to obtain physical publishing rights due to the limitations of the subject matter, unlike Fantasy and Xianxia. , urban such popular themes are simple.
