"SMS Writer": Elves are eccentric, humorous, super imaginative and creative.

Black powder debut: after the holiday, the mobile phone text messages flying around on weekdays are even more popular. According to the person in charge of Netease SMS Department, the demand for SMS will increase by 30%-40% during the holiday season. "I wish you smooth sailing, two dragons take off, three sheep open Thailand, and the four seasons are safe ..." These exquisite or funny news were spread by millions of people, so the network was blocked and mobile phones jingled; There is also a new profession on BLACKPINK, which people in the industry call "SMS writer".

Sketch: Simply put, the "short message writer" is the writer of mobile phone short messages that people see now. They are a group of people who create happiness: they have imagination and creativity; They are mysterious, they don't appear in front of people, but manipulate happiness with short words, pictures and ringtones, and carry the thumb culture to the end; People find themselves when they look at their mobile phones and laugh and move.

■ Opinion: What does a short message writer look like in the eyes of others?

As a new profession, the concept of short message writer is still very strange to people. So when it comes to short message writers, different people have different first feelings and impressions.

1. Mystery: I always think they are mysterious. I haven't touched them. I think they should get off work. I wrote them with inspiration.

2. Surprise: Is there such a group of people? Friends often pass it on, but never think and listen here.

My friend said that some of them were downloaded from the internet, thinking that editors were collected from all over the world, and netizens would edit them if they had nothing to do.

3. Reality: Yes, how much do they earn a month? This is a problem that many people care about. Appearance: Zheng Qian, majoring in university, has nothing to do with communication and network, and has also played the violin for more than ten years in his spare time. At present, she works as a ringtone editor in PR Newswire, responsible for editing wonderful ringtones for customers to download, and compiling some pictures or personal messages.

■ Responsibility: Make every customer satisfied.

Daily work: Make a birdsong or a section of a pop song (usually the climax part) into MIDI, add some pictures or separate short messages, and cooperate with the technical department to finally complete the conversion of short messages; People who subscribe to short messages for a month provide short message service at a fixed time, usually on Fridays or holidays, or write ringtone short messages according to customers' requirements. Some professional short message writers, as full-time editors of the company, follow the working hours from nine to five and have a sense of stability.

Work intensity: generally speaking, I don't work overtime unless it is an urgent message requested by the customer. Generally, three classic ringtones are edited by SMS every day, and thirty or forty ringtones are updated every week.

Source: First, recommended by netizens, general websites will have their own message area or communication channels with netizens; The second is to get the original information from various joke websites or posts; Finally, from the daily life and chatting with friends, I found that it is the most difficult to create by myself.

Responsibilities: Some customers want to order special ringtone messages. For example, what a customer wants is the first paragraph of the song Your Eyes, not the climax of the song, so while satisfying their tastes, try to write the most beautiful paragraph for him according to the model of the mobile phone (the mobile phone has different requirements for notes). Starting from the right place and ending relatively completely also requires skill. In addition, the final ringtone message may be out of tune, so it will be sent to the mobile phone for testing after each paragraph to ensure the quality. The purpose is to satisfy every customer.

Achievement and value: When compiling a ringtone short message or short message that no other website has become a popular discourse, it can best reflect its own value, and it will be very satisfying to watch the number of short message downloads counted by the website increase every week.

■ Kung Fu articles: SMS attracts people by novelty.

Basic requirements: Due to the limitation of short message types, ringtone short message practitioners should have the ability to feel music, have a strong sense of music, and have the basic skills of composing the music they listen to. And short messages naturally need high literary and linguistic skills, short and pithy, and have a sense of humor.

Nature and characteristics of work: not a first-line actor, not appearing in front of people, belonging to behind-the-scenes workers. Don't let others feel it, but always surround people. It is innovative and challenging.

Fun: Being able to combine his hobbies with his work is Zheng Qian's greatest pleasure in his work. Especially when she is writing songs, she can devote herself wholeheartedly, sometimes accompanied by words or blessing information and a small background of music, which brings more people happiness and also sends care and greetings.

Pressure: from customers. Afraid of out of tune, some small pauses or not attractive enough to cause customer dissatisfaction; It also comes from competition in the industry. The same text message can't stop customers. If you want to be new, you have to dig your brains and think of ideas. How to innovate is the most difficult thing before you.

Excellent writers add: to listen well within the limits of fixed notes, popular short messages are quite tortuous and fascinating. It is necessary to be humorous and have super imagination and creativity within a fixed number of words in order to make the work unconventional. Writing short messages is a new professional field, with a wide range of knowledge, and the inspiration of writers comes from daily life. Therefore, to be an excellent writer, you need to recharge your batteries and keep in shape: constantly draw nutrition from the internet, chat with friends for inspiration, pay attention to the current fashion, what is bobo, and you have to know new words. You should also watch Stephen Chow's old films, the roar of lions, heroes and other new films, so as to be innovative.

■ Salary: The income varies, depending on the situation.

Full-time and part-time website editors: At present, there are many such situations. Full-time editors of websites generally earn about 3,000-4,000 yuan a month, and some also earn about 5,000 yuan. Some websites also hire contract part-time creative staff, and the monthly salary ranges from several hundred yuan to several thousand yuan.

Full-time master: the salary of full-time SMS master is calculated according to the number of downloads. The more downloads, the more money. There are all kinds of situations, it's hard to say exactly.

■ Future articles: You can take part-time jobs during holidays, and the future is more optimistic.

Status quo: It's hard to avoid texting now. According to a media report, as of July last year, the number of SMS messages sent by mobile users in China has exceeded 30 billion. Especially during the Chinese New Year holiday, some communication companies will organize short message teams and make hundreds of short messages before the holiday. Many websites can also see a lot of news about recruiting short message writers. So, if you have confidence in yourself as a writer, you can even volunteer. On New Year's Day, on the one hand, I am addicted to writers, on the other hand, I enrich my "purse".

Outlook: The popularity of short messages has given birth to a new career as a short message writer. Although there are not many professional and truly excellent writers, major websites have long realized their importance. With the development of MMS service, writers who can write multimedia SMS will be very popular to meet the market demand.
