Chapter 107: Advice from Pudingliao(1/2)
Monday, September 9th, the weather was cloudy.
It is better to speak and avoid silence.
Qidian Editorial Department, Group 2 Office.
Weekly group meeting.
As soon as he got to work in the morning, Styx called everyone together to summarize the data performance of the books in everyone's hands during this period.
Including Qidian main website, new media channels, and self-operated WeChat reading channels.
There are also which books to promote in the future. These are originally the work of big data, but... data is always cold and cannot completely replace the role of editors.
Some books have poor early results, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad book. This book is likely to be a long one, with a lot of foreshadowing and plot buried in the early stages, and it requires hundreds of thousands of words to stand out.
If such a book is handed over to big data, it will be finished. It may never wait until the day when it comes to prominence, because based on its previous performance, big data will attribute it to a book that is not liked by readers and will not recommend it.
resource.
The editor is different. He can judge whether a book is such a special case through their experience. Then when the number of words increases, he will try to give it a push and then take off!
There are also some books that have exploded in the early stage and are read by a lot of people! But this book may not necessarily be a book that can be ordered by tens of thousands, because it may just occupy a certain hot gimmick, and everyone will click on it when they see it, but once it becomes a hot topic
After that, the popularity of this book also dropped greatly, and the plot was weak and no one cared about it anymore.
In the later stage, if big data still provides resources for such books based on previous experience, it will be a waste. It is only suitable for providing more resources in the early stage and making quick money.
There are also some books that seem to have explosive data in the early stage. The first order exceeded 10,000, and the monthly ticket list ranked first... But they were faked, and big data will be deceived, but old editors will not be deceived.
Once the various data are compared, the prototype will immediately appear.
Therefore, the use of big data is progress, but human intervention and adjustment are indispensable. In the current era, AI cannot replace editing after all.
In today's group weekly meeting, in addition to studying daily issues, editor-in-chief Ming He also said something: "The editor-in-chief will be coming later and will talk about the slow growth in the number of new users of our main website...
.”
The other editors in the second group understood it one after another.
"I knew that the new media channels and WeChat reading channels were taking off so fast, which meant that the performance of our main website was not good."
"Isn't that right? Everyone who is the boss must pursue growth. New media channels have grown dozens of times, and WeChat reading has grown from zero to explosive. It's too exaggerated!"
"Our main website...not only does the total number of users not grow, but some of them are even taken away by other novel websites. It's difficult."
Xiaoxing listened silently. He has been working as an editor at Qidian for more than a year and has a good understanding of his company's situation.
A year ago, Editor-in-Chief Xing Chen waved his big hand in the conference room, saying that we no longer compete for the mature online reader market, but that we are going to eat the 1.4 billion cake of those who have not read novels, attack new media channels, and bring business success.
Big growth!
Half a year ago, the editor-in-chief Xingchen was dissatisfied with the sharing model of the new media channel Lion Big Mouth. He wanted to develop his own channels and attack the sinking market. The WeChat reading department was established, and the group's business grew again!
These can be said to be two textbook operations, which have greatly improved the status of editor-in-chief Xingchen in Qidian Group, and the position of vice president has become more and more stable, and even... there is momentum to compete for the president.
And while those two channels are moving forward bravely, Qidian's base camp...is standing still. Is this ridiculous?
If there is no steady growth every year, how can we explain it to the board of directors?
Therefore, after another half year, Xingchen wanted to launch the main website, which is normal.
After some exchanges, Minghe said: "The editor-in-chief will be here in one hour. Let's all think about it ourselves and see if there are any good strategies to help our main website develop some new users and open up ideas.
Whenever you have a good idea, just say it directly, and it doesn’t matter if you say it wrong.”
The editors dispersed.
Xiaoxing fell into deep thought. He is a young man with a strong spirit, and this is the time when he is young and energetic.
The last incident involving Pu Dingluo has fully demonstrated his arrogance.
When I was extremely angry, I applied for Puding to be put on the shelves, and I was extremely angry for several days.
Don't tell me whether you are a coward or not, just ask whether you are angry or not!
He also wants to get a promotion and a salary increase, marry Bai Fumei as CEO, and reach the pinnacle of his life.
Therefore, you must seize every opportunity to express yourself.
Now is the opportunity!
If he can offer suggestions to increase the number of new users of Qidian's main website, wouldn't he be expected to be promoted?
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!"
Thinking of this, Xiaoxing is filled with energy!
Brain cells are running wildly.
Half an hour later...
Xiaoxing slumped down at the workstation and took a sip of Tieguanyin wolfberry water.
"Aba Aba..."
He finally accepted the fact that he was not a genius once again.
Not everyone can turn their hands into clouds and rain in the market...
"etc!"
Suddenly, Xiaoxing had an idea.
"Pu is determined! An author like him who leads the trend of online articles must have exclusive insights into the market. Last time we chatted, he discovered the fact that Qidian is stagnant! If he can teach me a little bit...
....”
Send a message to Pu Ding immediately!
...
Pu Jie has been in a good mood these past two days.
Seeing your work being made into a TV series gives you a sense of accomplishment that is completely different from making money.
It’s another feeling of pleasure!
Sense of achievement!
It is a bit more advanced than the basic need of making money.
The same ones came out, some rushed out, and some came out of the two heavens of ice and fire. Can it be the same? (Here it refers to code words, rushing means rushing to draft, the two heavens of ice and fire represent strong opposition and conflict, and generally refers to meticulous work.
Polished manuscript.)
It's definitely different!
Therefore, although helping Wei Fan does not bring any financial benefits, it can make the drama a hit and bring him fame benefits, which is another kind of investment.
There is no benefit in the short term, but in the long run, it may not be worth more than the 200,000 screenwriting fee.
Although Pu Jie has only watched the first 5 episodes, he can feel that the quality of this drama is very good and has the potential to be a dark horse.
Just like the "Love Apartment" that came out in a previous life, it's very fun and funny.
"Urban Son-in-Law Dragon King" is a unit drama. Each episode has a short story, which unfolds through a certain social phenomenon. It is advanced by a funny plot and ends with the protagonist's crooked mouth, ultimately satirizing social reality.
It's like a large-scale face-slapping scene, and it gives people a little aftertaste in the end.
If we don't have the identity of Dragon King, then...how can we ordinary people fight against society?
There have been a lot of changes overall, especially the lines, which are basically irrelevant to the various novice quotes in the original work.
Pu Jie thinks the change is good! He likes Wei Fan's creativity very much. If he really shoots according to what he wrote, he would blush...
I'm afraid it will embarrass the audience so much that they will break the floor. It will become a magic show to exercise the strength of the toes!
The short video he edited of the Dragon King with his twisted mouth is very embarrassing and magical, and is most suitable for dissemination of propaganda.
Last night, Wei Fan had already posted the video of the first episode of Dragon King’s Crooked Mouth to Douyin, Kuaishou and other short video platforms.
Just wait for the bullet to fly for a while.
Monday morning.
Pu Jie had just woken up, and before he had time to look at the bleak data recommended in the past two days, he received a message from Xiaoxing.
Subconsciously, I took in a breath of cold air.
"Fuck! Didn't you just give me a recommendation? It's so early in the morning. What else are you trying to do?"
He is scared of Xiaoxing, this editor is poisonous!
Extremely poisonous!
Nothing good can happen if you open your mouth!
Open the message carefully...
Dog Editor Xiaoxing (Daodaodaodaodao): "Author, please... is there any way to add some new users to Qidian's main website? I'm waiting online, it's urgent!"
Pu Jie let out a long sigh of relief.
so far so good...
To be continued...
