Everyone, look at this, the anger of Internet writers (reproduced)
Reposting a very old post, those who clamor for piracy can take a look.
Let’s first talk about the current financial resources of full-time writers! The so-called full-time writers naturally refer to friends who specialize in writing, make a living from it, and make money from it. Friends who work and write novels are not included.
Because you have a fixed income, writing novels may be a hobby, and the amount of money you make will not have much impact on your life.
As long as people write novels, the ways to make money are: 1. Join the VIP of literary websites; 2. Publish physical books, both simplified and traditional; 3. A few people will be spotted by game companies or crews and made into movies or TV series.
Let me talk about publishing as a regular physical book first. Let me reveal a piece of information here. Basically, one out of every twenty or thirty online novels you see now will be published as a physical book, and three out of these twenty or thirty books will be published as a physical book.
Go to Five Books to join the VIP of major websites. Publishers in mainland China have stricter approval requirements for publishing. They cannot involve pornography, violence, politics, society, etc., and they also need to apply for a publication number from the Chinese Cultural Bureau before they can publish.
, so most of the books published now are from Taiwan and Hong Kong. For books that can be published in the mainland, it is good to have one or two out of 100 books. The price of books published in Taiwan ranges from 20 yuan to 50 yuan per thousand words, of course.
, there are some who pay more than 100 yuan, but they are only a minority among the minority. We who write novels all hope that our books will be published, but if you sign with the wrong agency, you are waiting to be deducted at every level! A book worth 50 yuan per thousand words
For example, an intermediary company charges 25%-30% or more of your agency fee. In this way, a book of 1,000 words will be reduced to 30-40 yuan, and will never exceed 40 yuan. Then some Taiwanese publishing houses will take a part of it for the purpose of writing a book.
Publishing fees or other expenses are about 20%. In this way, for a book originally signed for 50 yuan per 1,000 words, we can actually get less than 30 yuan. Although it is not much, after all, a book is
For books with more than 500,000 words, it is still okay to get 10,000 copies. But pirated books limit the sales of genuine books. In fact, if we can get 15-20 yuan per 1,000 words, it is good. And it can be adapted into games or even compiled into
There are only one person in ten thousand who can write scripts. They are very few. Needless to say, I have never experienced them and I don’t know their income.
Let’s take a look at VIP works. Nowadays, VIP clicks on major websites are basically 2 cents per thousand words, and the website takes about 1/2 as website income (people also want to make money, long live the understanding!), so writers who join VIP
, a thousand words is only 1 cent. Those friends who shout that we are reading white books and those friends who shout that we have no money, you only get 2 cents if you click on a chapter of 10,000 words! What is 2 cents?
Concept? If you drop a dollar on the ground, you might pick it up. But if there are 2 cents on the ground, I guess you won’t bend down to pick it up. Even if you see it, you will pretend that you haven’t seen it. But have you ever thought about it?
This writer, who earns some living expenses for Internet, electricity, tobacco and water, relies on the few cents earned by our VIP members who support us. It is easier to read than to write a book. In other words, if you don’t raise children, you don’t know the hardships of parents.
People who have never written novels will never understand what it feels like as a writer to write novels at the speed of a thousand words per hour, and ours only costs 1 cent per hour, haha! We are considered low-cost workers!
I would like to ask those friends who are clamoring to read the white books, have you ever understood the hard work of professional writers like us? But I don’t blame you. It is better to read the white books than to spend money to read them and sit there smoking a cigarette and drinking a bottle. Drinks, and then spend five to ten minutes reading the 10,000-word article that we wrote for more than ten hours. It is indeed very pleasant. If you have time, please send us a book review and we will thank you very much.
Let me ask those friends who call us poor and don’t have money to enter VIP, are you tired of saying this? It’s like farting. You have to go online to read! How much does the Internet cost? How much does the electricity bill cost? Ten thousand words only You can't afford 2 cents? Then I despise you. You are not even as good as those friends who shout that they will never support VIP and never read white books. At least their stance is clear, and you are just lowering your living standards to People who live by picking up garbage are not as good as others. In fact, you may spend more than 20 yuan or more every day, and you are reluctant to give even a few cents to us hard-working writers. You and Ge Langtai, what's the difference between you and Zhou Papi? But you're just talking, so I'll just say a few words here. Anyway, it's not relevant to us professional writers or to you casual talkers. It's hurtful. If it hurts, then I can only say I'm sorry. This was not my intention and I really have no choice.
Friends who have been supporting us by joining VIP, brothers are here to say thank you on behalf of the majority of writers. Without your support, perhaps there would not be the heyday of Chinese online literature today. After all, hobbies cannot be used as food. It is understandable that only writers with financial benefits can devote more energy to novels. Because of your support, we professional writers can sit in front of the computer with peace of mind and work with purpose and goals. Even if you work harder, what does it matter? We are here to repay your kindness, so it doesn’t matter. Isn’t there a very famous saying of the Crusaders: Everyone for one, and one for everyone. Really understandable What this means is the people who have always supported us writers, which naturally includes the friends who like us in the book review area and you friends who have joined VIP to read the novels we write.
What I want to talk about now is the individual scum that exist among VIP friends. Although the use of right keys in VIP areas is basically prohibited as a restriction to prevent copying of VIP articles, the fact that the right mouse button cannot be used does not mean that copying cannot be done. Shortcuts on the keyboard I think anyone who knows a little bit about computers should know the copy key by heart! You don’t understand? Then I will teach you how to use the left mouse button to draw a range. The keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+C!
Whether they are pirated booksellers or disguised book thieves, they are nothing compared to this kind of people. This kind of people rely on their privilege of being a VIP member to read VIP chapters, copy the VIP's works, and then paste them into other literature The forum area of the website is euphemistically called: I don’t take any money. This is a great cause to serve the people. Or in other words, it is to help you, the money-minded money fans, update.
To this kind of people, I don’t represent other people, I represent myself. I sincerely say to people like you: Go away, you stupid people!
Don’t think that people who write books are all civilized people. Civilization is used for people who respect the fruits of other people’s labor, not for people like you who have no morals and no education. For you, nothing but dirt will be poured out on you.
Water, I’ll give you another beating, there’s nothing more to say. Even children can recite: It’s noon on the day of hoeing, and the sweat drops from the grass to the soil. Doesn’t this poem teach people to cherish the fruits of other people’s labor?
Are you no better than a child of several years old?
Here, the author friends who have not joined VIP are lucky. At most, the updates are a bit slow and they are called eunuchs. But like me, those who have joined VIP have some of the VIP chapters stolen by such despicable and shameless people and posted on other website forums.
Brothers on the Internet, we are unfortunate. The amount of money we can get from a chapter is pitifully small, but the people who steal our VIP chapters have made it difficult for those of us who have worked for dozens of hours to get tens of dollars or even only ten dollars.
The blow was so severe that we who write novels have offended anyone.
When a writer sees his only means of survival being stolen by others, may I ask, those who stole our VIP works, have you ever thought about our feelings? Are you still a scholar? In other words, are you still a scholar?
Is he considered a human being? I don’t know how to scold you no matter how unpleasant the words are. I can only scold you to this extent. I’m sorry.
Every writer friend who writes novels has his or her own writing habits, but most of them write novels in the middle of the night, because the silence of the night is the most inspiring. Every time I ask in the author group at two o'clock in the morning: Who is still there?
Many people will answer: I am writing a novel! How is your writing going?
Please all my friends read this sentence, I am writing a novel! At two o'clock in the morning, maybe you are dreaming, maybe you are drunk, but what about us? We are still working hard under the high-intensity radiation of the computer.
To complete our works, if you understand us, then I thank you on behalf of all friends who write novels. If you say, this is nothing, I often stay up until what time in the morning. If you are a writer, I
I pat you on the shoulder and say thank you for your hard work, brother. If you say this because you are playing games or reading white books or anything else that has nothing to do with work, then I despise you.
What you consume before midnight is your physical strength, and what you consume after midnight is your heart and soul!
Finally, thank you to those friends who have always supported us ordinary writers. Piracy is normal and we understand it, but we despise those who post the VIP chapters that we rely on for public reading on the forum.
Whether you read books or write books, if you support those of us who write books, please forward this post, thank you.
