Recently, the manager of the copyright department has been a little worried.
Poor performance and unable to sell works.
Especially last month, in December, there was an opportunity to broker a 1 million copyright deal.
But the author rejected it, and even made harsh words, saying that his copyright was far more than this price. At that time, everyone was superstitious about Pu Ding's operational ability, so they believed it directly, and then rejected the Golden Age Company that bought the copyright.
After waiting for a month, "Legend of the Stars" was finished, and there was no second publisher to check the copyright of this book.
The managers and deputy managers of Qidian’s copyright department began to murmur.
"It's decided...did he make a miscalculation? He was blindly confident in himself, thinking that the performance of this book could be higher? Wouldn't he worry about selling it?"
"I have looked at the data of his book, and it is indeed rising. It is still rising after the book is finished, but... there is still a gap compared with the book by the great master. After it is finished, it will soon fall."
"Hey... I really shouldn't have refused directly at the beginning. Just delay the Golden Age. This kind of immortality writing can also be sold as a comic and animation copyright. Don't even think about film and television dramas. Recently,
Several domestic companies that are capable of producing Xianxia animations have some copyrights on hand, which are enough for them to develop. I tried to push it a few days ago, but without success."
"Yeah, I'm embarrassed now. When the performance is less than enough, I've sold 1 million less."
"After all, he is just an author. There is a gap between him and us professionals. He should have been more confident and persuaded him to sell."
"Yes, we made a classic mistake and listened to the author's advice in our own professional field. It's like the author writing a book. If a reader puts forward various suggestions for modification, if he changes it according to what the reader said in the comment area...
....9 out of 10 crashed, and one is barely surviving."
"That's right, readers don't know how to write books. If you follow what he said, it will most likely fail. In the end, you won't be able to write anymore. You are a careless eunuch. We are like this too. After listening to Pu Ding's nonsense, we are now
Not only did it not sell for a high price, I couldn’t even earn the 1 million royalties.”
"It's so uncomfortable!"
They need results!
"No, I have to call to say hello to editor Xiaoxing. He was the one who instigated it!"
"That's right, let him find a way to ask Pu Ding when the situation will turn around. If his book doesn't sell, it will become cheaper day by day once it falls out of the top 20 bestsellers."
As we all know, capitalists pay attention to cashing out at a high point when making profits.
The current results are when "Legend of the Stars" was at its peak, and it was still in the top ten of the best-selling list. If it delays for a while, it will fall to the 20th, 30th place... or even lower, and the price is getting lower day by day.
.
...
Xiaoxing received a call from the Copyright Department.
Shaked his head.
"Panic, you are panicked."
"How could Pu Ding say this if he wasn't absolutely sure? That was the first time he was so excited. I could feel Pu Ding's anger even as I turned on the screen. At that point in time, before finishing the book, if it was true
If the price is right, why would he refuse?"
"Do you think he deliberately held back his royalties before finishing the book to prevent himself from making more money?"
"Just think about it and you'll know it's impossible!"
"There must be a reason for Pu Ding to take action! We have to analyze, figure out, and consider the problem from his perspective. Only then can we possibly learn a little bit from this operation master... Don't you
Are you going to forget about Pu Ding’s god-level advertising operation so quickly?”
The people in the copyright department were silent.
"Sparrow food... we are anxious, but the performance is not good now. We urgently need to sell something this month. Without a profit of 1 million, the entire department will have to drink from the northwest. There is really no way
Now, you are the person in Qidian who knows Pu Ding best, can you...see where the best opportunity is?"
Xiaoxing thought about it for a moment.
"Wait, Pu Dingluo will lay the groundwork before he does anything. Every time when everyone thinks he can't come back, he will make a sudden move, turn the situation around in an instant, turn the impossible into possible, and win the maximum profit in one fell swoop."
"The two-level reversal of word-of-mouth for "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" is like this, and the same is true for "Country Scoundrel Doctor". This book... I feel that it is also fast."
"Okay...okay."
After the copyright department hung up the phone, they began to doubt themselves.
"Although what Xiaoxing said does make sense, this is all finished... the final operation... when will it start?"
Melancholy.
There are always a few days every month where I feel uncomfortable.
At this time, an employee from the copyright department suddenly shouted: "Holy shit! Everyone, look at Long Kong, "Legend of the Stars" is a hit!"
General Manager of Copyright Department: (*゜ー゜*)
"Ah?"
...
Some people feel uncomfortable when they see others living comfortably.
Pu Jie didn't know who he offended and was scolded again.
This time... the other party is not like Shadow Night Cat or Xin Zhao, he is just venting his dissatisfaction and disgusting the author.
This time the people are going to stab Pu Jie hard...
Qidian's bestseller list, as the most valuable list on the website, has credibility in the industry and represents its influence among Qidian readers.
Some film and television entertainment companies are accustomed to looking for works on the best-seller list to see if they meet the adaptation conditions.
If appropriate, we will negotiate terms with Qidian Copyright Department.
Among them, books that are often in the top ten bestseller lists will naturally gain more attention from companies.
Books of the same quality, one ranked 12th on the bestseller list and the other ranked in the top ten, receive completely different levels of attention.
This is the head effect.
"Legend of the Stars" has stayed on this list for three full months without falling off the list. Naturally, some companies with IP copyright needs have also noticed.
But... they were all dissuaded.
Because of a post.
I don’t know where it came from that the comic + animation rights of "Legend of the Stars" were not sold for 1 million, this post came out.
"Real Hammer Qidian's best-selling works to improve performance, a scam carefully planned by a big brush!"
"In recent months, an extremely bad brushing incident has occurred in Qidian. The most influential bestseller list on behalf of Qidian has been dominated by a crazy brusher for three full months!"
"This person is Pu Ding! And his book "Legend of the Stars"!"
"He took this crappy book from being out of the top 100 on the bestseller list all the way to the top 10 in the bestseller list, in less than a month. He couldn't take a rocket so fast! I have screenshots here to prove it. This is his result in early September.
Not to mention the top 100 on the best-seller list, not even the 200th place. This was achieved in mid-September. I climbed all the way to the top 20 on the best-seller list. Then it was even more exaggerated. In early October, in order to compete for the list, I directly brushed up the list.
Top ten! (Screenshot.jpg)”
(Click to load image...)
"It has been in the top ten of the best-selling list in October, November and December, and the brush has never stopped."
"You may say that maybe the grades have gone up after he came and recommended it? Then, let's follow me to reveal the true identity of this brush!"
"1. There are a lot of fans who read "Legend of the Stars"! Is it because there are so many people reading his books? No! It's because these are accounts mass-produced by Brush Studio, and each account has sign-ins and activities. I accumulated some coins by grabbing red envelopes, and then gave them to this book together. If you don’t believe me, look at the fan names that have been decided. Did you find that there are a large number of ‘digital name’ numbers? This is the distinguishing feature of the machine number. After registration, Don’t change the name, just use it! And among their subscription books, most of them only have 3 books written by Pu Ding. Is this the logic of normal people’s reading? It’s impossible! So... more than half of his data It was all brought by this kind of machine account, which confirms the fact that he spent money to improve his scores!"
"2. Let's take a look at the comment section of "Legend of the Stars". It's full of bad reviews! It's the kind that even the operating officer can't delete. After entering, there are almost all bad reviews, even if he added some comments and pinned a few good ones. Posts can't hide the fact that most book lovers can't stand this book. The voice of the audience can best reflect the true reputation of a book. This kind of work that has been criticized for being bad...you said it sold well ?Do you believe it? Anyway, I don’t believe it!”
"3. Finally, let's look at the content of "Legend of the Stars". Not to say it is completely rubbish, at least it is an online article without any connotation. This kind of quality is extremely different compared with the other nine books in the top ten bestseller list. Big gap! I believe we old book friends can see this at a glance. Of course, this is also the reason why everyone is scolding his book. It is just that the writing is too poor. This kind of quality is not to mention a best-seller. It’s already in the top ten, even if it’s in the top 500, it’s hard work!”
"So...the question is, why did Pu Ding print his book? Is it purely to disgust other authors and readers?"
"Of course not! He...has a big plan!"
"I heard from a friend in the industry that their company was once recommended by a director to check out the copyright of this book. Due to the reputation, and because this book has been on the bestseller list, I thought the subscription was good, so I was prepared to spend the money. He bought the copyright of his comics and animations for 1 million yuan, but guess what? Pu Ding refused! He said the book was far from worth the price!"
"It was only then that I realized that Pu Ding... not only wants to deceive the author, but also the readers. His biggest purpose is actually... to trick the film and television company into buying his copyright!"
"As for why he didn't sell it for 1 million? The reason is simple. It's not enough to recoup the cost... He can't sell it at a high price, and he can't get back the money he spent for three months, so he naturally refuses. At the same time, I put out such cruel words in an attempt to seduce some film and television companies who don’t know the truth to buy it.”
"Haha, Pu Ding is really playing a good card. Unfortunately, I have seen through it a long time ago. Readers, authors and big companies, please don't be fooled by this kind of book that is purely based on brushing up. Keep your eyes open. Ah friend!!!”
In this post, the direct battle was fought by name and surname, and Pu Ding, who had some reputation in Longkong, was still torn apart.
It’s full of highlights and highlights.
The melon-eaters had an instant orgasm. Is there any more exciting post than this?
So, it instantly became the most popular post!
And people in the circle also knew about this from various channels.
