    "Mr. Wen, do you really want to write like this?" Nakamura finally recovered from his surprise, and then asked with great confusion.  "Of course, otherwise why would I send it to you?" Wen Xun replied while suppressing a smile.  When he said this, Nakamura was immediately dumbfounded!  "But this then why why it seems it's not easy to understand this novel?" Nakamura didn't have the nerve to directly say that the novel was messy, but said in a roundabout way that it was hard to understand.  His meaning is also very obvious, is he doing this to cause trouble?  If you want to write a novel, write it well. It¡¯s not impossible to use flashbacks and narrations, but if you want to use flashbacks and narrations, can you be more traditional?  Can you be more logical?

    "Traditional flashbacks and narrations are all based on the plot. They are only done when the plot requires it. Both narrations and flashbacks have objective effects.  It can be said that after inserting narration and flashback, the whole novel can be made easier to understand, more dramatic, etc.!  This is a design by a writer!  But in Wen Xun's novel, this is not the case at all!  Although such a story is not simply a matter of shuffling the order of the slices, it is not too different. The opening is not the beginning. After reading the first chapter, people are confused, and the following story is even more confusing.  It can¡¯t be connected!  What the hell is going on?  Is this being willful on purpose?  Is this deliberately causing Kadokawa Bookstore to lose money?

    Who would have thought that at such a time, I heard Wen Xun say: "It's not easy to understand. My idea is to make it difficult for the audience to understand. These days, there are too many novels and animations that people can understand at once.  There are so many that people can already guess the direction of the plot as soon as they see the beginning! It¡¯s time to have some fun, classmate!" At this point, Wen Xun paused.  Then it comes to that.  "This is my novel. It is an experimental novel, and it is an attempt to see what kind of novels and animations are acceptable to consumers in the market today. Just like the previous "Neon Genesis Evangelion", such an animation  What is it about? Isn¡¯t it about a middle school boy saving the world, and then adding various religious backgrounds to pretend to be a god? But how popular is such an animation in Japan? How many young people say that such a work is a god all day long?  A masterpiece? Not to mention whether this film is a masterpiece or not, why can¡¯t we try to imitate it?¡±

    "But the imitations in the industry are all imitating their materials" Nakamura couldn't help but interjected.  That's right, from Nakamura's point of view, there is really something to learn about "Neon Genesis Evangelion" from anime and stuff in recent years!  It¡¯s just that what people learn are various elements.  For example, designing a secondary protagonist, or making a three-no girl like Ling Boli, or making other features from "Neon Genesis Evangelion", but no one has completely overturned everything.  Do it!  What kind of learning is this?  But just after Nakamura finished speaking, Wen Xun was heard saying, "It's because everyone else has learned it, so I can't learn it. Everyone is learning "Neon Genesis Evangelion", but after more people learn it,  How many people can be as popular as them? None! In our China, the old man Qi Baishi said a saying, "If you learn from me, you will live. If you imitate me, you will die." That is to say, we must learn the thinking patterns of other successful people, but we cannot imitate them directly.  You can't use other people's materials to make them your own! What was their thinking at the time for "Neon Genesis Evangelion"? That was to overthrow all kinds of passionate protagonists, that was to overturn the design of the protagonist who was full of fighting spirit, and that was the appearance of the character.  Speculation. Can we still completely imitate what others do?"

    After saying this, Wen Xun began to brainwash Nakamura, "Our characters have already been formed. If the rest of us still learn from "Neon Genesis Evangelion", then we won't follow them."  Is it the same? Isn¡¯t this a dead end? Based on what we have already said, if we want to achieve good results, we must have our own characteristics, and we must have our own characteristics that can attract fans and make them think of us.  It is a masterpiece and something that has been studied in various ways! Just like the various religious magic elements in "Neon Genesis Evangelion"!" After saying this, Wen Xun was still talking non-stop, absolutely  There is a kind of brainwashing attitude!

    Sure enough, as Nakamura listened, he became a little less confident, and as he listened, he became a little confused.  "Butbut wouldn't this be too risky? Will our Japanese readersbeennot as knowledgeable in literature as your Chinese readers?" When Nakamura spoke, he tried to choose the best words and try his best.  Don't make Wen Xun angry.  But who knew that after hearing this, Wen Xun said directly: "No problem! You have to know that Japanese readers have experienced too many novels, comics and animations. They look at the straightforward things  It¡¯s already boring enough, it¡¯s time for us to give them a different feeling! Besides, what if they may not be able to accept it, it¡¯s not like we can¡¯t operate!¡±

    At this moment, something suddenly appeared in Wen Xun¡¯s head.A plan that I have never thought of!  At this time, I just listened to him continue and said, "Think about it, haven't we tried viral marketing before? Didn't we get all kinds of reviews before everything started? Then why can't we try it this time?  What?" Upon hearing this, Nakamura suddenly seemed to understand something, "You mean?" "That's right! We can use viral marketing to promote such a novel of ours! Yes, our novel is difficult to understand  ¡­But can¡¯t we use viral marketing to make potential consumers think that a novel like ours is a masterpiece? Through covert promotion, we can make consumers full of expectations and curiosity about our novels, and then let them take the lead.  How about reading our novels with an inquiring mind? The sales volume will definitely not be much worse by then, right?"

    "" Nakamura was stunned at that time. He didn't expect that Wen Xun could come up with such an idea!  Indeed, this novel seems to be quite challenging for consumers. Under normal circumstances, if you advertise it and ask for sales, it is easy for ordinary consumers to think that this is a piece of crap after browsing in a bookstore.  Why couldn't I understand it, so I gave up on buying it.  But what if it has gone through viral marketing?  If after marketing.  before the product is launched on the market.  Just let consumers know that such a novel is difficult to understand?  Now that I know this novel is relatively difficult to understand.  And if there are any gimmicks like masterpieces, will some consumers still buy the novel even though they know it is not easy to understand?  The answer should be yes!

    "Mr. Wen, please wait a moment I'll ask the company for instructions on this issue" As he said that, after giving Jia Hongjian all kinds of courtesy, Nakamura put down the phone, and then walked quickly to the chief editor's office. Of course  He also brought the manuscript sent by Wen Xun.  Such a Nakamura existed as the editor-in-chief of an author like Wen Xun at Kadokawa Shoten.  After he got Wen Xun's manuscript, what he should have done was to correct typos as much as possible and then check the direction of Wen Xun's story.  After settling on his side.  When he thinks that the whole book is OK, he will give it to the editor-in-chief to take a look, and finally hand it over for printing.  But now Wen Xun has brought up matters related to operation, and about taking out such a novel that Nakamura is not optimistic about and forcibly operating it, then he cannot make a decision on this matter, and the editor-in-chief must make a decision!  And besides, when it comes to viral marketing or something like that, he can¡¯t be the editor-in-chief and have the right to mobilize the resources of Kadokawa Shoten, right?  If this is to be done, no matter how hard it is, the people above must make the decision!

    "Editor-in-Chief, Wen Xun has sent over his manuscript, but I think this manuscript is a little bit Then he said that it can be manipulated through viral marketing" As soon as he entered the editor-in-chief's room.  Nakamura quickly gave a brief and concise report.  "Oh? Really? Here's the manuscript, bring it over and show it to me." After hearing this, the editor-in-chief frowned slightly and took the manuscript from Nakamura's hand.  Then take a quick look.  At this time, Nakamura looked carefully at the expression of the editor-in-chief when he was reading. After reading the first few lines of words, the editor-in-chief was obviously a little confused, and his brows were obviously furrowed, and then he quickly  I glanced back a few pages, and my frown became deeper and deeper!

    "What's going on with his manuscript? Why there's no introduction at all, and there's no introduction to what each character does. Why does it seem like an inexplicable plot from the beginning?" The editor-in-chief couldn't help but put down the manuscript and asked.  Nakamura arrived.  "Oh, that's right. He said that this was the result of deliberately disrupting the order of story telling He said that this was an attempt after he realized the innovative nature of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" I also  I tried to persuade him not to do this, but he insisted on having his own way, and even said that he could use viral marketing to manipulate such a book!" Nakamura hurriedly explained.  Upon hearing Nakamura's explanation, the editor-in-chief couldn't help but flipped back and looked at it carefully.  After reading it carefully, he discovered that in a novel with a total of fourteen or five chapters, there was no connection between each chapter. Yes, originally such a chapter told such a story, but not yet  After that, the next picture is directly the beginning of another story, or even the middle or end of another story!  Doesn't this look confusing and confusing?  Is such a novel going to be a virus?  How does the virus operate?  Is it impossible that the virus operation was successful?

    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 after hearing that Wen Xun wanted to promote such a novel into a so-called masterpiece and then conduct so-called viral marketing, the editor-in-chief lit a cigarette and had a long discussion  Thinking.  To be honest, the editor-in-chief really doesn¡¯t know if such a novel can be sold after such operations!  That¡¯s right, the editor-in-chief didn¡¯t know what to do!  For such a novel that is completely messed up in one chapter, the editor-in-chief will spend his whole lifeHave you ever seen it!  The editor-in-chief doesn't know whether such a novel can be used for so-called viral marketing, and he doesn't know what the result will be after dumping!  So what to do?  Do you agree or not?

    After struggling for a while, the editor-in-chief quickly decided to call Wen Xun personally to contact him.  "Mr. Wen, can you tell me your detailed plan? How are you going to conduct so-called viral marketing for such a book?" At this time, Wen Xun was actually thinking about how he was going to conduct viral marketing!  Originally, this idea just came to him when he was on the phone with Nakamura!  I just thought I could do this at the time!  How could he have a complete plan all at once?  However, within half an hour after hanging up the phone, he thought quickly and soon came up with an idea that seemed feasible!  "It's like this. I think this time we don't need to use various relationships to make trouble and let the news media report it. After the last operation, if we still operate like this this time, it will be too easy for people to see through.

    ¡°But after others see through it, it may not be easy to do marketing like ours.  So I think we should change a method, for examplein a place like an online bulletin board, let me or someone enter as an ordinary person, and then talk to those potential consumershow to write novels to attract everyone  topic, and then gradually let everyone complain about various stereotypes of the novel, and finally slowly led to what would happen if the plot line of the novel was disrupted, and finally revealed through various methods that I am Wen Xun, how about it?  And then I said that I wanted to write a different novel?  So that the people I talked to and the people on the bulletin board would suddenly feel like they were involved in the creation of the novel?  Then from time to time, I said online that I deliberately messed up the chronological order, saying that this was a test for everyone?  He said that this was to retaliate against people who said that you can guess the direction after reading the beginning?  It means that whoever can read a novel like mine is definitely a strong person?  In this way, gradually some people will be interested, right?  "

    After saying this, Wen Xun paused, "How about we even give some money as a reward? If someone can understand it in one go, then we give them a bonus? In this way, we can stimulate everyone to buy and read us  book?" Listening to Wen Xun's words, the editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone opened his mouth in surprise and was speechless for a long time!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
