Chapter 204: A flash of light
"Mr. Wen, do you really want to write like this?" Nakamura finally came back from his surprise and asked in confusion. "Of course, why would I send it to you?" Wen Xun replied with a smile. After he said this, Nakamura was stunned! "But... this... then... why... this novel... seems not easy to understand?" Nakamura was embarrassed to say that the novel was written in a mess, but said it was circumcising around the bush and said that he couldn't quite understand it. His meaning was also very obvious. Is it necessary to make such a fuss? If you want to write a novel, write it well. It is not impossible to do flashbacks and interludes, but if you want to do flashbacks and interludes, can it be more traditional? Can it be more logical?
Traditional flashbacks are based on the plot, and when the plot needs it, they are only done. They all have an objective effect. It can be said that after flashbacks and flashbacks, the whole novel can look easier to understand, and have more dramatic tension, etc. This is a design by a writer! But in Wen Xun's novel, it is not like this at all! Although such a story does not simply disrupt the order of the slices, it is not too much. It is not the beginning at the beginning. After reading the first chapter in confusion, the next story cannot be connected! Is this making a fuss? Is this intentional willfulness? Is this intentional to make Kakugawa Bookstore lose money?
Who knew that at this time, Wen Xun said: "It's not easy to understand. My idea is to make it difficult for the audience to understand. There are too many novels and animations that people can understand all of a sudden. There are so many that people can guess the direction of the plot at the beginning! It's time to play and have fun and enjoy the students!" After saying this, Wen Xun paused for a moment. Then he said, "A novel like this is an experimental novel, which is an attempt to see what novels and animations can be accepted by consumers in the market today. Just like the former "Evangelion", what does such an animation tell? Isn't it just a middle school boy who saves the world, and then adds various religious backgrounds to pretend to be profound? But how popular is such an animation in Japan? How many young people say that such a work is a masterpiece? Not to mention whether this movie is a masterpiece, why can't we try to imitate it?"
"But imitation in the industry is all about imitating their materials..." Nakamura couldn't help but interrupt. Yes, in Nakamura's view, there are really anime in recent years, and there are really many elements to learn about "Evangelion"! But people learn all kinds of elements. For example, designing a secondary protagonist, or making a three-no girl like Lingboli, or making some other features in "Evangelion", but no one completely overturned everything! What is this learning? But after Nakamura finished speaking, he only listened to Wen Xun's words, "It's because everyone else is that
After learning, I can't learn it. Everyone has learned "Evangelion" but after more people have learned it, how many people can be as popular as them? No! In our China, old man Qi Baishi once said, "Those who learn me live, and those who are like me die." That is to learn the thinking patterns of successful people, but they cannot directly imitate them. They cannot use other people's materials to become their own materials! What was their thinking at that time in "Evangelion"? That was to overthrow all kinds of passionate protagonists, that was to overthrow the design of the protagonist with a strong fighting spirit, that is, the character's layout. Can we still learn from others to do this completely?"
Speaking of this, Wen Xun started to brainwash Nakamura in a constant way, "Our characters have already been published. If we learn other people in the New Age Evangelion, then wouldn't we be like them? Isn't this dead? Based on the previous posting, if we have good grades, we must have our own characteristics, and we must have our own that can attract fans, so that they can think we are masterpieces and study them in various ways! Just like the various religious genius factors in "New Age Evangelion"!" After saying this, Wen Xun was still talking nonstop, and she definitely had a brainwashing posture!
Sure enough, Nakamura became a little less confident as he listened. As he listened, he became a little confused. "But... but will this be too risky? We Japanese readers... will... not as good as you Chinese readers?" When Nakamura spoke, he tried to choose the best and try not to make Wen Xun angry. But who knew that after Wen Xun heard it, he said directly: "No problem! You have to know that Japanese readers have also experienced too many novels, comics and animations. They are already tired of watching the straight-talking things. It is time for us to give them a different feeling! Besides, even if they may not accept it, so what can we not be able to operate it!"
At this time, a plan suddenly appeared in Wen Xun's head that he had never thought of before! At this moment, he just listened to him and continued, "You think, have we tried viral marketing before? Didn't we get all kinds of reviews before everything started? Then why can't we try this time?" As soon as he heard this, Nakamura suddenly seemed to understand something, "You mean?" "Yes! We can use viral marketing to promote such a novel! Yes, our novel is difficult to understand... But can't we let potential consumers think that such a novel is a masterpiece through viral marketing? Through concealed promotion, consumers are full of expectations and curiosity about our novels, and then let them look at our novels with a exploratory mentality... How about this? The sales will definitely not be much worse at that time, right?"
"..." Nakamura was stunned at the time. He didn't expect Wen Xun to come up with such an idea! Indeed, this novel seems to be quite challenging for consumers. In general, advertising and asking for sales. It is easy for ordinary consumers to read the bad thing in the bookstore and think that it is not understandable, and then give up on buying it. But what if it is said to be viral marketing? If it is said to be after marketing and before the product is launched, consumers know that such a novel is difficult to understand? After knowing that this novel is difficult to understand. Then if there are any gimmicks like masterpieces, will some consumers still come to buy it even though they know that this novel is not easy to understand? The answer should be yes!
"Mr. Wen, please wait... I'll ask the club for this question..." As he said that, Nakamura gave Jia Hongjian all kinds of politeness, then put down the phone, and then he quickly walked to the editor-in-chief's office. Of course, he also brought the manuscript sent by Wen Xun. As for such a manuscript, Nakamura existed as the editor-in-chief in Kakugawa Bookstore. After he got Wen Xun's manuscript, what he should have done was to try to modify the typos and then check the story of Wen Xun. He decided on his side
Later, when he thought the whole book was fine, he looked at it for the editor-in-chief and finally delivered it to the printing. But now Wen Xun has brought up some things about operations, and there is something about taking out such a novel he is not promising to Nakamura and forcibly operated. Then he can't make the decision. The editor-in-chief must make the decision! Besides, for this kind of virus marketing, it is impossible for him, the editor-in-chief to mobilize the resources of Kakugawa Bookstore to do it, right? If you want to do this, you have to make the decision!
"Editor-in-Chief, Wen Xun sent his manuscript, but I think the manuscript is a little bit... Then he said that he could operate it through viral marketing..." As soon as he entered the editor-in-chief's house, Nakamura hurriedly briefly and briefly reported it. "Oh? Is it? Where is the manuscript? Take it for me to see." After hearing this, the editor-in-chief frowned slightly and took the manuscript from Nakamura. Then he quickly started reading it. At this time, Nakamura was looking at the expression of the editor-in-chief's reading. After seeing that the editor-in-chief's expression was carefully read, he saw that after reading a few lines of words, he was obviously a little confused, and obviously his brows became a little deeper. Then he quickly swept a few pages back, and his brows became deeper and deeper!
"What's going on with his manuscript? Why... there's no introduction at all, and no introduction to what each character does. Why does it feel like a strange plot when it comes up?" The editor-in-chief couldn't help but put down the manuscript and questioned Nakamura. "Oh, that's it. He said that he deliberately disrupted the order of the story... It was said that this was an attempt he made after he realized the innovation of "Evangelion"... I also advised him that this was not possible, but he insisted on doing it alone, and he also said that he could use viral marketing to operate such a book!" Nakamura quickly explained.
Nakamura's explanation, the editor-in-chief couldn't help but look back and carefully. After reading it so carefully, he found that a novel of fourteen or five chapters in total was not connected to each chapter, yes, this chapter was originally about such a story, but before it was finished, the next one was directly the beginning of another story, or even the middle or end of another story! Doesn't this make people feel confused? Such a novel needs to be operated on a virus? How to operate a virus? This is impossible to operate a virus successfully?
Thinking of this, the editor-in-chief did not call Wen Xun directly, but ordered Nakamura to quickly say what Jia Hongjian said again! Then he heard that Wen Xun wanted to promote such a novel into a so-called masterpiece, and then carried out the so-called viral marketing, the editor-in-chief lit a cigarette, and then thought for a long time. To be honest, the editor-in-chief really didn't know whether such a novel could be sold after such an operation! Yes, the editor-in-chief was unsure! Such a novel with completely disrupted chapters, the editor-in-chief has seen it in his life! Whether such a novel can be carried out as a so-called viral marketing, the editor-in-chief is not clear, and he doesn't know what the result will be after the dumping! So what should I do? Should I agree or not?
The editor-in-chief, who had been struggling, quickly decided to call Wen Xun to contact him. "Mr. Wen, can you tell me about your detailed plan? How do you plan to carry out so-called viral marketing in this book?" At this time, Wen Xun was actually thinking about how he wanted to carry out viral marketing! Originally, this idea was that he was just a flash of inspiration when he called Nakamura! It was just that he thought about it at that time! How could he have a complete plan at once? But after hanging up the phone for half an hour, he thought about it quickly, and soon came up with a seemingly feasible idea! "That's right, I think we can do it without making any trouble through various relationships and let the news media report it. After the last operation, if we still operate this time, it would be too easy for people to see through it.
After others see through it, it may not be easy to do such a marketing. So I think we should change the method, such as... in the Internet reveal board, such as me or who, enter as an ordinary person, and then chat with potential consumers... How to write novels to attract everyone's topics, and then gradually make everyone complain about the various trends of the novel, and finally slowly guide them to what will happen if the plot line is disrupted, and finally reveal it through various methods. I am Wen Xun.
What? Then I said I would write a unique novel? In this way, those who have talked to me and those on the reveal board will suddenly feel like they are involved in the novel creation? Then I said from time to time online that I deliberately disrupted the chronological order, which means that this is a test for everyone. It means that this is to fight back what everyone said, you can guess the direction after reading the beginning? It means that who can understand a novel like me at one time is definitely a strong man? In this way, people will gradually become interested, right?"
After saying this, Wen Xun paused, "How about we even take some money as a reward? If someone can understand it in one go, then we will give them a bonus? In this way, stimulate everyone to buy and read our books?" Listening to Wen Xun's words, the editor-in-chief opened his mouth wide in surprise on the other end of the phone, unable to speak for a long time!
