Chapter 71: The Impact of Huiming
It's said to be a relaxing trip, but if Mei Ling and Li Jie weren't there. Su Jin and the other two might have gone to some places that people like to visit and had a good time. But since there were girls around, they couldn't be too reckless. They just found a restaurant to eat at, then went to a karaoke hall together to sing songs.
After signing contracts with the three of them, Su Jing's online literature competition can be considered a complete success. Of course, Dream Company didn't only sign these three people. They were just the most important ones, which is why Su Jing personally signed them and gave them the best conditions. Basically, all authors who passed the preliminary selection were signed. In this regard, Su Jing still adhered to the method of "wide collection and thin spreading". After all, a cultural website can't rely on just one or two main authors. It also needs countless small authors to fill up the library.
Overall, the goals of this conference have been largely achieved. Dream Net and Rongshu Xia have further united to formally establish their dominant position in domestic cultural websites. They have signed sharing agreements with 90% of domestic cultural websites, allowing works uploaded to Dream Net and Rongshu Xia to be freely uploaded to other sites after the first day of release, provided that they are marked as originally released on Dream Net or Rongshu Xia.
Mengxiang Network and Rongshuxia gained fame and established their position through this competition. More importantly, they signed contracts with a large number of authors with great potential. This laid a solid foundation for their rapid development in the future.
All in all, it was a victorious competition, a successful competition. A competition that inspires people to strive for progress, a competition with profound significance.
Within the Dream Company, the direct beneficiary of this successful competition is Zhu Weilian. With the help of this successful organizational competition, he successfully demonstrated his ability and established his position within the Dream Company. He was appointed by Su as the general manager in charge of managing the website's specific affairs. Perhaps it was a destined arrangement, or perhaps the two people were naturally compatible. As soon as Zhu Weilian took office, he invited Lu Jinbo to become his assistant.
With that, the website's affairs came to an end. Su Jing's energy was refocused on writing, and the entire competition had taken up two weeks of his time. Fortunately, he always had a stockpile of drafts, and even during the competition, he persisted in revising at least 10,000 characters every day. Therefore, Su Jing did not delay updating. "Return to Ming" was still progressing at a rate of 20,000 characters per day.
Adding up the previously uploaded words, "Hui Ming" has already been uploaded with nearly 500,000 words. The 500,000 words have officially brought the plot of "Hui Ming" into **, and the charm of history is beginning to show!
"I guarantee with my little JJ that this book is absolutely a masterpiece!" - Playboy Little Prince
"The great god is indeed a great god, Su Jin's products are always high-quality!" Some netizens
"Undoubtedly a masterpiece!" Heartfelt and sincere
"Blazing a trail in history! Requesting more additions!" Su Xin Wang
……
Open the comments of "Hui Ming", full of praise. At this time, the praise is different from the beginning of the book, all come from the legacy of "Dou Po". This is the real strength of "Hui Ming" now.
Of course, this was not what Su noticed. He had never doubted that "Hui Ming" would be successful in the online world. Because it was simply an unquestionable fact. What really made Su concerned was the attention from reality.
April 27, Gucheng Dushu Bao published a commentary article "The Paradigm of the Internet - Hui Ming"
The reason I read "Hui Ming" is because its author is Su Tong. At that time, I was reading it with a critical eye. Su Tong is absolutely a celebrity in the domestic online cultural circle, because he single-handedly set off a wave of what is called online literature. The appearance of "First Time" has already passed for more than a year.
But until now I still remember how it looked when it first came out...
...only after seeing the content of "Hui Ming" did I realize that this is absolutely a pioneering work. Su Yan is indeed one of the top writers on the internet, and this book is definitely worth reading.
What truly makes this book welcome is the author Yue Guan's insight into the characters' personalities and emotions, especially the depiction of female roles, which can be said to be meticulous and infinite. Worth mentioning is that the description of erotic scenes is well-proportioned, elegant and realistic, evoking endless imagination without being overly embellished, which is extremely rare for online writers.
What's most worth mentioning is Su Zhebin's seriousness, the timeline, events, figures, social, economic, political, agricultural, geographical and technological data involved in the book are mostly verified by the author, which can be imagined to require a great deal of time and effort.
The most important thing is that it can make his readers learn a lot of things unknowingly in the process, if we exclude the plot. This is a truly unashamed popular history book. The audience on the internet is generally younger, and due to the dryness of history, they have no interest in it at all.
Su Zhe's brilliance lies in his perfect combination of dry history and interestingness, attracting readers with the latter while unknowingly educating them. Especially making these young people interested in their own country's history. Master Qian Mu once said, "Those who do not know a nation's history are not qualified to be its citizens!"
In short, "Hui Ming" is definitely a good book worth reading, not only online but also in the physical book market. It is recommended that schools and parents encourage children to read this book.
Ancient City Reading News, Commentator, Zhong Hanmin
The Ancient City Reading Newspaper is absolutely a major newspaper in the ancient city. Although it still can't be compared to the Ancient City People's Newspaper and the Ancient City Daily, in the field of reading, it is undoubtedly a giant with considerable influence. At least Su Jing has clearly found from behind the scenes that as commentators' articles are published, the click-through rate is rising at an exponential rate.
What delighted Su Jian the most was that with the publication of this article, it officially acknowledged the value of "Hui Ming". To some extent, it also recognized the value of the internet.
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, in the following days, several second- and third-rate tabloids also published positive commentary articles. Even the Ancient City Daily reluctantly expressed its appreciation for "Return to Ming" on the 29th with somewhat obscure language.
This made Su Jin exceptionally excited, and he immediately contacted Pang Zong to prepare for the publication of the physical book "Return to Ming". The current 16K book is roughly 1.6 million words per book. The current number is enough to issue 3 books.
While preparing for the physical book release, Su Jin also made arrangements for Liu Mei. That is to add historical genre in the upcoming pipeline group arrangement and encourage everyone to create historical genre works. It is believed that with the popularity of "Return to Ming", historical genre will become a popular factor in the next period of time. In fact, since its appearance, historical genre has never cooled down, even during the sluggish period, there are still a considerable number of readers. It can be said that it is a rare evergreen tree among online topics.
However, Su Jin also put forward a condition, that is, all historical categories must rely on facts as much as possible. To achieve this, Su Jin specially established a history evaluation group within the writing club, and even invited two language teachers from Shang School who were more interested in history to serve as instructors.
Su Jin stipulated that all historical works, after completion but before uploading to the Dream Net, must be reviewed by at least one teacher and pass the evaluation of the History Evaluation Group. Otherwise, they will not be uploaded. Su Jin knew that this regulation would definitely be opposed by some members who arrived early, but wasn't prestige meant for times like these? Moreover, Su Jin had been preparing for this day for a long time, and he would rather have nothing than something mediocre! This was Su Jin's principle, and he would never change it no matter what.
