Chapter 38 The Tenth Quota
The chilly night sky is dotted with stars, in the early spring season, the bitter cold of winter has not yet completely retreated, a strand of cold wind seeps through the opened window into the room, and slips into Su Nei's collar.
Su Jin shivered and woke up from her contemplation. She glanced at the alarm clock on her desk, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning.
"It's already so late!" Su Jin muttered to himself.
Su Jin has been very busy lately, really busy. The writing club's affairs have consumed all his energy! Although he has already assigned most of the writing club's affairs to others, he is in charge of the most core and professional part, which is reviewing the writing outlines of the writing club members!
The writing club is now divided into two parts, the reading group and the writing group. Of course, members are not fixed, some members of the writing group can't stand the dullness of writing and may give up halfway and switch to the reading group. And some members of the reading group also have a sudden desire to write after reading for a long time!
For the selection of members, Su Jin did not interfere much. Whether reading books or writing books, it was all just a hobby for the members. He always believed that for a writer, especially an online writer, interest is the most important thing. A great god from later generations once said: "For new writers who have just started writing, I suggest they write about what interests them first, because writing, especially long-term writing, is a tedious, dry, tiring and even painful process! Especially for new authors, before gaining recognition from readers, there is no one to share the loneliness and solitude of writing, nor do they know where their future lies! The initial impulse to write will soon retreat, and afterwards it will become more and more boring, more and more painful, and worse and worse! And with the continuous decline in quality, it will also become increasingly unpopular! This forms a vicious cycle, ultimately leading to failure! At this time, a topic that truly interests the author and is liked by them can often give the author incredible power and persistence!
The majority of the reading group members, over a thousand people, joined the writing club. Zhao Wuhua and several old club members formed the management team to take charge of specific affairs, while Su Jin only made a few requests.
Firstly, each member of the reading group must read at least 10 books per week, with a minimum of 30,000 words from the beginning of each book, and make an evaluation of no less than 100 words. As for which books to read, it will be determined by the management layer of the reading group.
Secondly, the reading group should select at least thirty books from the writing group's creations to follow up and make regular comments, with no limit on word count, but at least one article per week.
Thirdly, members of the reading group can freely read all books, but each month they must recommend a book to the writing club and write an article of no less than 1,000 words commenting on the pros and cons of the recommended book.
Although these three sentences are simple and seem easy-going, they actually have a profound meaning!
Article 1, this is imitated from a comment agency in later generations, Su Zhen personally thinks it makes sense and will be of great help to the improvement of writing skills for members. Su Zhen thinks that since these people have joined the writing club, they should at least make some progress, otherwise what's the point of joining the writing club?
The second point is simple, as mentioned earlier, the follow-up of the reading group can help some members with poor writing and plot to get through the most lonely and boring period in the early stage!
Article 3 is also very important. Now, many online articles have appeared on the internet. Some of the famous authors from previous generations have already passed away, but Su Jin's company obviously doesn't have enough charm to attract all of them to Dream Net. Moreover, Su Jin can't even remember when they debuted. Even if he remembered the approximate time, his arrival would have already messed up history. Would they still start creating according to the timeline in history?
So to find them at the first time when these gods appear, and observe the dynamics of the web text circle, it is necessary for the members of these reading groups to provide intelligence! And a 1000-word review undoubtedly makes the idea of casually finding a book to do homework thoroughly bankrupted!
It can be said that these three are complementary to each other, and the value of the members is being utilized by Su Zhan to the extreme!
However, no matter what, the members of the reading group can only play a supporting role. Su Jin's main force is still the writing group! These more than 400 members of the writing group, although their current writing level is not high, but their loyalty to Dream Net is unquestionable! Su Jin certainly understands what these more than 400 loyal authors mean to a literary website established in '98!
In fact, although the members of the writing group and the reading group are always changing, from a macro perspective, it is still growing slowly. The process of writing books may be dull, tasteless, and even painful. But under Su's arrangements, this feeling has been greatly alleviated. And writing books can also bring in money, status, and people's recognition! Although the probability is not high, under Su's operation, it has undoubtedly increased by countless times compared to later generations! At least among the members of the writing group, out of every ten, at least one book can gain readers' recognition! There is hope to take the road of physical publication!
This is undoubtedly a great attraction for the students of business schools! Nobody is born to be at the bottom! Business school students don't want to either! But perhaps they are not naturally learning material, or perhaps due to various reasons, they really can't make it on this road of learning, so they come to business school hoping to find another path to success!
Unfortunately, in today's society, studying hard and getting into a university is the only way out for an ordinary student! Although various vocational schools and junior colleges claim to provide students with skills training to find good jobs, their main purpose is actually to provide a place for those who dropped out of high school, preventing them from entering society too early and becoming a factor in social chaos.
Moreover, even if they graduate from these vocational schools, they will be inferior to those orthodox university students for their whole lives! This is the consensus of every commercial school student! It's just that many times they are unwilling to say it out loud, they don't want this cruel reality to be starkly presented in front of them!
They'd rather continue to indulge in their fantasies, engage in fistfights and brawls, and do everything they can think of within the school walls.
Since reality can no longer be changed, why not take advantage of this last moment to thoroughly enjoy the last happiness? So they indulged, so they fell! Until the day they graduated from school, they seemed to wake up like a dream, gathering all their nonsense, putting their happiest moments as the most beautiful memories deep in their hearts, and then finding their rightful place at the bottom of society, living a humble life.
But now Su Jin has created an opportunity, a real chance to change their fate! This opportunity is so rare! A golden road suddenly appeared in front of the students, although it's not smooth and not particularly bright, but for the students of Shang Xue, this is already a once-in-a-lifetime chance!
Between becoming a respected writer and graduating from school to become an ordinary worker or farmer, the former undoubtedly has incomparable appeal! Although this writer is just an online celebrity who is looked down upon by traditional writers in reality, it's already made students extremely satisfied!
Of course, just like learning can't adapt to all students, writing can't either. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, which can't be forced! Among the nearly 2,000 students in the business school, having over 400 students suitable for writing is already beyond Su Jin's expectations!
According to Su Jin's speculation, students with some writing talent in the business school should have all been concentrated in the book group, and there won't be any major increases later on! However, even this number is a bit beyond Su Jin's expectations!
After all, they are just some students with a bit of writing talent. Without Su Jin, even if they were to embark on the path of writing, at most they would become journalists, third-rate newspaper commentators, or barely make a living as writers!
To cultivate these people into the true pillars of the Dream Net, even if Su Jing had the experience of rebirth and the temperament of a system, it would still be a daunting task!
This is also what Su Jin has been thinking about these days. "Teaching by Precept and Example" has ten quotas, each quota costs 1,000 points! Although Su Jin's fans have gained a lot of upgrades in recent days, 1,000 points are still not a small amount for Su Jin! Su Jin currently only has enough points to cultivate twelve students! And "Teaching by Precept and Example" is carried out simultaneously in one period, which means that after he finishes cultivating one period, he will not be able to cultivate the next period for a long time!
This period's ten places have been confirmed nine, although their quality is not good either, but a diamond in the rough! Su Jin can't care about that much anymore. Writing a book is also a test of students' learning quality after all. Although the requirements for writing style on the internet have dropped to an all-time low, there are still some requirements. Moreover, under the same circumstances, books with relatively better writing styles are more popular!
But if his writing is really good, why would he come to a commercial school? In fact, the tenth person has already chosen him, although their writing skills are not much different, but the good and bad can still be easily distinguished!
It was just that tonight, when he was reviewing the writing outlines submitted by the new book club members as usual, he suddenly found an outline that made him so hesitant!
This outline is not outstanding, the writing is not excellent, the plot and scene can only be said to be general, but what makes Su Zhan hesitant is that he saw a person's shadow in this outline!
Yu Yan!
