radicalducati Chapter 346
Chapter 346
Everyone's comments were rather euphemistic.
If someone else had submitted a novel written by someone else, and they saw that it was in the first person, they would probably have rejected it without saying anything.
Who writes novels in the first person these days?
Look at the top ten rankings, are there any first-person novels?
There is an unspoken rule in the novel industry:
No first-person novels are accepted unless you are a great writer!
It is undeniable that there are masterpieces in the first-person novel.
But the probability is too low, and the majority of them fail.
And just by looking at this opening, many editors have lost interest.
It is said to be a novel about tomb robbing, but it starts with many long paragraphs to explain tomb robbing.
It's a headache for readers.
Where is the main line?
Where is the plot?
The protagonist hasn't even appeared yet, but a lot of words are used to describe the protagonist's grandfather right from the beginning. Isn't this a waste of words?
It was because they knew that this was Qian Jian's novel that everyone didn't kill it directly.
Seeing that many people looked unhappy, Raven smiled and said, "Don't worry, just read on."
When she first read it yesterday, she was also confused and felt that the beginning was too long-winded.
But she realized later that without the foreshadowing of the beginning, the subsequent plot would lack a lot of fun.
Seeing what Raven said, the editors had to continue reading patiently.
Soon, when they saw the paper man come to life and speak human language, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
When they saw that the paper man asked Hu Guohua to dig graves in the cemetery late at night and then ate his heart and liver, they took a breath of cold air.
This kind of weird thing is creepy just thinking about it.
There are many such horrible scenes. The first few are just appetizers, similar to legends, but the ones behind are very gloomy.
For example, when the protagonists Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi went to work, Lao Wang's wife in the village saw a group of people kneeling and worshiping an old locust tree. When she went forward to check, she found that these people had no heads...
There were also fire beetles, super salamanders, two dead children, red hyenas...
The most horrifying thing was the two dead children.
They were a pair of boys and girls. When they were unearthed, they looked exactly like living people. The reason for this was that when these boys and girls were alive, in addition to taking mercury orally, they also had holes dug on the top of their heads, backs, soles of their feet, etc., and filled them with mercury. After death, they were smeared all over their bodies with mercury powder, just like specimens. After thousands of years, the skin and flesh did not rot.
This is a very cruel burial of living people. If it was just made up by the author, it would be fine, but the most important thing is that in this book "Ghost Blowing Light", these seemingly very bizarre things can always be combined with some examples in reality, which increases a lot of credibility and makes people half-believe and half-doubt.
Moreover, Qian Jian also wrote the details of blood vessels and the location of mercury injection very vividly, as if he was standing by and watching at the time.
Everyone was a little suspicious, whether Qian Jian had really seen these things, otherwise how could he write so detailed?
When everyone was concentrating on reading the novel, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", which scared everyone and even some people knocked over the teacup at hand.
When I looked up, I found that it was Gray Snake who came.
Gray Snake was holding a bunch of things in his hands. He had just kicked the door open with his foot. Seeing that everyone was in a panic, his heart was also tense.
Could it be that he encountered a major and difficult incident?
Gray Snake saw Raven was there too, and hurriedly asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Raven explained: "Oh, everyone was just reading Qianjian's latest novel."
"Qianjian's latest novel?" Gray Snake's eyes lit up under the mask, "When was it sent? Is it a game competition theme?"
Raven hesitated for a moment: "It was sent last night, the theme... I can't say what type it is, it seems to be a brand new theme, with suspense, horror, adventure, and supernatural elements."
Gray Snake frowned: "The elements are so complicated?"
"Well, if I have to say, I feel that this brand new type should be called tomb-robbing novels..."
"Tomb-robbing?!"
Gray Snake was shocked: "Tomb-robbing is illegal! Is this theme sure that it doesn't touch the red line?"
"This..." Raven couldn't make a judgment. After all, there has never been a tomb-robbing novel in this world, and there is no standard for judging in the industry, so she simply pushed the matter directly to Gray Snake, "I'll send it to your email, you should take a look."Gray Snake was also in a headache, but he had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Okay, I'll go back now."
After Gray Snake left, the editors in the office began to whisper to each other.
"Qian Jian's novel is really unique, and the style is so novel!"
"Yes, it feels scary!"
"Scary but good to read! Wonderful and exciting!"
"Yes, just like some horror movies, although scary, but there are a lot of people watching!"
"Although it is in the first person, there is no obstacle for readers to read it, and it even has a better atmosphere!"
"Indeed, if it is changed to the third person, the sense of substitution will be reduced a lot."
"Many suspense articles are often written in the first person."
"After reading too many brainless and white-collared novels, it is really interesting to read novels of this theme occasionally."
"Qian Jian's imagination is really amazing. Even with such an unpopular theme, he can write such a wonderful work. It's awesome."
"......"
When everyone was really discussing, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open with a "bang!", and Gray Snake walked in solemnly.
He glanced at everyone, and then announced loudly: "From today on, our World Snake will do our best to promote the "Ghost Blowing Light" series of novels! Strive to make this novel the world's number one "tomb-robbing" pioneer!"
"At the same time, I decided to use the highest level of publicity to promote "Ghost Blowing Light"!"
"Before this novel is officially released, no information is allowed to be leaked!"
The editors were stunned for a moment, and then replied loudly in unison.
"Understood!"
Everyone was not surprised by Gray Snake's decision, after all, the quality of this novel is really good.
As long as there is nothing wrong with the brain, it will definitely be promoted vigorously.
As for the issue of tomb-robbing themes, everyone is not very worried.
After all, this is just a fictional story, not real.
After all, who would really go to rob a tomb and then write a novel about it?
Is there something wrong with the brain?
