My achievements are not that good, and I don't even have a single excellent book to my name. But fortunately, I'm hardworking and update 8,000 to 10,000 words every day, so my royalties are not low. Combined with my main job, I can sometimes earn over ten thousand yuan.

In 2012, in the third-tier city where he lived, a salary of more than 3,000 yuan was considered a high salary. Huang Ji's income was enough for him to live comfortably.

Riding an electric bike and carrying a computer, Huang Ji went to a restaurant he often visited to have a meal, bought some snacks for when he was hungry in the evening, and then went to work at the gas station.

The gas station where Huang Ji works is very small, even a bit remote. There are not many vehicles coming and going. There are only two people on duty at night, and the management is not strict.

So he can use the night shift to type, which saves a lot of time, making many of his part-time colleagues who still have to type after get off work envious and jealous.

"Brother Liu."

Huang Ji arrived on time, greeted his colleague Lao Liu who had already arrived, and handed him a bottle of water, while his colleague on the day shift had already left as someone took over.

The latter nodded, took the water and put it down, while reading a magazine to pass the time.

Huang Ji didn't care. Lao Liu was dull and quiet, and he liked to sleep in during the night shift.

Precisely because of this, Huang Ji actually liked to work with him so that no one could disturb him and he could do his own work.

Anyway, there are not many cars coming at night, so he doesn't mind making a few trips. He just takes it as a breath of fresh air. As long as Lao Liu keeps his mouth shut and doesn't say anything, everyone can help each other.

But I can’t do the night shift by myself. The location is remote and the gas station is empty. It’s really scary to be alone at night…

It is impossible to take out the computer and start typing first. The first thing to do is to go to the author/reader group.

The readers have always been urging for updates, but Huang Ji was driven away as soon as he showed up. The authors' group was much more harmonious, and everyone discussed being a pigeon and criticizing the tentacle monster, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

We were having a great time chatting, when someone brought up the topic of the recently hit TV series "Joy of Life".

"Joy of Life" is a drama adapted from an online novel, and a rare adaptation of a popular male-oriented online novel. It is considered big news in the online novel industry, and the authors are still paying close attention to it.

Although most of the authors have nothing to do with these film and television adaptations, it’s still time to dream about it.

[I watched the drama, it was really well made]

[The ratings are about to break 3, each drama is better than the last]

[To be honest, I read the original work and found that it has been changed a lot, but the basic structure remains the same, which makes it more likable]

[Yes, the original novel is still a bit dull and depressing, but the TV series version has a lot of laughs]

[This is the ability, adapted online novels, Wei Yang is recognized as the best]

[The key is that the roles are well chosen. Chen Baoguo has the flavor of an emperor, and Chen Pingping also has a special feeling]

[Liu Shishi is so beautiful. Damn, Wei Yang is so lucky]

[The one who played Fan Ruoruo was also good, very pretty]

[Ahem, I prefer Aunt Liu]

【Me too】

[I am different, I like them all]

[I envy Mao Ni, he is making a lot of money. He has been ranked first on the best-selling list since the show started.]

[Not only that, after so many years of completion, it can still make it into the top 20 on the monthly ticket list. This is really eye-opening]

[I heard that the copyrights of his movies and TV series are being snapped up like crazy now, and each movie costs several million.]

[A few million is not enough, right? Didn’t “Joy of Life” say that Wei Yang sold for hundreds of millions?]

[Whether it is sold depends on who is bidding for it. He is so popular, but not everyone is Wei Yang]

[But no matter what, the film and television copyrights of all the great gods are being sold now, I envy you]

[The copyright wave is coming, one person's success will bring prosperity to online literature]

[Wow, when can I sell the copyright?]

[I've decided. If I can't eat meat, some soup will be good. In the next book, I'll travel to "Joy of Life", kill Fan Xian, and snatch women.]

[I'm simple, infinite flow, and I'm preparing to open a new copy]

[You said that starting an entertainment article, kicking Wei Yang out, and snatching this project, is there any point?]

[Big Boss, how can you kick me?]

[The second generation of the rich starts, and I like Liu Tianxian, let her play the chicken leg girl]

【Awesome】

【……】

As everyone was chatting animatedly, someone in the group suddenly expressed a different opinion and criticized "Joy of Life".

For example, "There are people who watch YY TV series", "It's rubbish, no substance at all", "Domestic dramas are spoiled by this group of audiences", "It's far worse than American dramas", etc.

In fact, it is impossible for every drama to be liked by everyone. "Joy of Life" currently has a Douban score of 8.2. There are many people who like it, but there are also many who don't like it.

Fans of the original novel are even divided into two camps. One thinks that the adaptation is good, with many highlights and minor flaws that do not affect the overall situation. The other finds a lot of faults and thinks that it lacks the flavor of the original.

There have been authors who have raised objections before, but at least they gave some reasons and there was no malicious intent.

This person started to rant without any reason, used vicious words, slandered others without any reason, and even used rash tactics, which was really disgusting.

Huang Ji saw that the person’s profile picture was a cartoon character with a white duck or pig on a yellow background. His online name was […]. He was in the group chat regularly and had never seen this person before.

He asked an author he was familiar with, and the author sneered and told him.

Huang Ji glanced at the group a few more times and learned some information from the conversation. This person was doing quite well. He was now a screenwriter and a big Weibo celebrity with hundreds of thousands of fans.

However, what he publishes is not pleasing, and he likes to criticize others and show off, so he has a very bad reputation.

Moreover, he seems to be a well-known Wei hater who has a grudge against Wei Yang. When Wei Yang is mentioned, he bites like a mad dog. No wonder he criticized "Joy of Life" so much just now.

I checked the information and returned to the group. I don't know what this big V named [Pang Yidian] said again, which angered everyone and he started to curse at several authors.

This is the good thing about online writers. Although most of them prefer to support those well-known masters, when a conflict really arises, they will not back down at all and will curse when necessary.

Because we are all just colleagues, there is only difference in achievements, no distinction between high and low, and what really matters to our future is the platform.

So everyone is willing to praise the big guys, ask for a chapter promotion, and learn writing skills, but they will not tolerate any problems. Even if you are a big guy who influences the platform, at most I will change my username or website.

Some are just part-time workers and don't make much money. When they get upset, they simply quit, but the editors still point fingers at them and scold them.

As for someone like Pang Yidian who has passed his prime and even changed his career, and has a bad reputation, few people are afraid of him. Normally, he is called "Pang God" when he laughs, but when he starts to criticize others, he is called "fat guy", "old helper", and "give me your address, believe it or not, I will kill you".

Huang Ji was somewhat unhappy with his remarks just now, otherwise he would not have specifically asked about it.

Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!

So even though no one started cursing in the group, they were encouraging and adding fuel to the flames. Soon the entire group launched a high-quality cyberbullying against Pang Yidian.

They are all pen-wielders, and every word of their criticism hits him hard. In less than ten minutes, Pang Yidian was scolded so much that he quit the group.

Some people were still angry and went to other groups to continue cursing. Huang Ji was not so generous. He checked the time and left the group chat. Putting aside the recent turmoil, the high praise given to "Joy of Life" by many authors made Huang Ji curious about the series.

Of course he knew about this drama. It has been very popular recently and his brother and his wife seemed to have been following it all the time.

However, Huang Ji is busy with his writing work, so he rarely watches TV dramas for fear of wasting time. Now, after hearing what everyone said, and considering the adaptation of online novels into film and television works, he couldn't help but feel itchy.

"Why don't you take a look and learn from it? Maybe you can find the direction and then write a book and sell the copyright."

Huang Ji glanced at the watch again and saw that he still had about an hour and a half left before his usual coding time.

Usually at this time he would check the news, play games or read novels, which was one of the few entertainment times he had.

If you take it out now, you can watch two or three episodes and skip some unimportant plots. Three or four episodes will be enough.

Huang Ji made up his mind, said hello to Lao Liu, took out his headphones, clicked directly on LeTV, and clicked to watch "Joy of Life".

The background is explained, the young Fan Xian becomes an apprentice and learns martial arts, grows up, fights against the housekeeper, defeats the assassin, bids farewell to his grandmother, and heads to the capital.

In a temple in the suburbs, he first met the girl with chicken legs and fell in love with her at first sight. In Fan's house, he first met his brother's wife and found that his brother was naughty and his sister was docile.

Looking at Di Lieba, who appears delicate and virtuous on the screen but is lively and naive in front of her brother in private, Huang Ji stared at the computer with his eyes wide open, his drooling eyes almost flowing out. He likes this type of girl the most.

However, recalling the online rumors that all the actresses that Wei Yang supported were ruined by him, Huang Ji's heart was broken. Fuck, damn Wei Yang! He used to have a good impression of Wei Yang, even a little admiration for him. After all, they were both writers, he started from scratch, had a net worth of hundreds of millions, and was surrounded by beautiful women. He was simply a role model for our generation.

Now, because of Dilraba Dilmurat, Huang Ji finally understands why many people despise him when they mention him.

Sleep with my goddess, I'll be lucky if I don't kill you! Huang Ji was secretly complaining that Wei Yang was not afraid of kidney deficiency even though he had so many women. He looked at the time and it was almost time to start writing.

But thinking back to what happened just now, he wanted to see how it developed next.

"Want to watch another episode?"

Huang Jilu has plenty of time to write, which basically allows him to work on and off. If he has temporary work at a gas station, it will not delay him, so he can squeeze out a few dozen minutes and still complete the update task.

"Then watch another episode."

Huang Ji clicked on the next episode. The plot of "Joy of Life" was not particularly ups and downs, but it was interconnected. Each episode had enough key information, burdens, and buttons to make people enjoy the show and unable to stop.

The fourth episode introduces the calculations of various forces after Fan Xian arrived in Beijing, which can be regarded as an introduction to the main plot, while also laying the groundwork for a lot of twists and turns.

After watching this episode, Huang Ji wanted to know the rest of the story even more. After hesitating for a while, he decided to watch another episode.

If he watches one more episode, the time would be barely enough to write, but it's too tight, so at worst he can write faster.

The fifth episode ended quickly. Fan Xian dealt with the rebellious younger brother and had a conflict with the villain, which led to the climax of the poetry meeting. The laughter was dense and the plot progressed smoothly.

Huang Ji wanted to shut down LeTV, but was reluctant to do so. Just then, several cars came to refuel, but Lao Liu had fallen asleep, so he had to do it himself.

Nearly ten minutes passed when he came back after finishing his work. This was not a big deal at first, but it became the final weight that overwhelmed Huang Ji.

"Time is tight again, and I definitely won't be able to finish the update as normal. I might as well write one less chapter and make up for it later."

In this way, Huang Ji had plenty of time, and he watched another episode. The plots of the Supervisory Commission, Wang Qinian, and the Fan family were played out one after another, and the world background was opened up and gradually got better.

Huang Ji enjoyed the show so much that he realized it had exceeded the time limit after it was finished. Although it was only five minutes, Huang Ji, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't stand it.

"In that case, I might as well watch one more episode until the hour. If I'm fast, I can get a perfect attendance."

Huang Ji convinced himself and watched another episode, during which he was very excited at the climax of the poetry reading.

It is not uncommon to see poems plagiarized on the Internet, some of which are clichés, but this is the first time that they have been made into a TV series. Watching the poem "Climbing the High Tower" shock the entire audience and even the entire city of Beijing, and the scenes imagined in his mind actually appearing on the screen, Huang Ji was overwhelmed with joy.

After feeling so happy, he decided to give up. There were still two episodes left to watch, and he kept thinking about it in his mind. Since he was going to have fun, he might as well have fun to the end.

Glancing at Lao Liu, Huang Ji wrote a single chapter and published it on schedule: "My colleague broke his leg. I'm working alone and I'm too busy. I don't have time. I'm taking a day off."

After taking the leave, Huang Ji hummed a little tune and turned on the next episode, feeling a little guilty.

I don't blame him for being lazy, it's all because "Joy of Life" is so good. If I want to scold someone, I'll scold the guy with the surname Wei...
