Qidian Chinese Network Headquarters Building, Editorial Department.
Today is Friday,
A plenary meeting will be held as usual in the morning.
The main content of this meeting is to reconfirm the arrangement of recommended websites and apps for this week’s works.
Make sure that there are no broken updates, eunuchs, or banned chapters in the recommended works in the next week.
If there is such a work, it will be kicked out of the recommended list and a replacement work will be temporarily found.
"Okay, the data statistics have been completed. The problematic works of each group have been eliminated. There are 14 free recommendation slots. It just so happens that you 7 groups will divide them evenly and give some potential works."
Xingchen, the vice president and editor-in-chief of Qidian Group, spoke eloquently and quickly completed next week's website and app recommendations.
Others have no opinions,
Xingchen has always been fair in dealing with matters, and the editors in the Qidian editorial department have a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
If you want to recommend your own author, just rely on the data to get it.
"Next, I will make a summary of the operation of Qidian Chinese website in the past month."
Today is not only Friday, but also the end of October.
"I won't go into details. The main website data is almost the same as last month."
"However, we are Qidian, the No. 1 online novel website in the industry, an original novel website that has spawned countless hit IPs. Our monthly active users are stuck at 10 million and have not grown for half a year. This is very dangerous!"
All the editors were shocked,
Something is going to happen!
"On the surface, we are still the largest leading website in the online article market, but we know our own business. If there are no new growth points, Qidian will only go downhill in the future, and reform is imminent!"
"We can no longer guard our own three-quarter acre of land. We must develop Qidian novels and expand our user base in order to continue to dominate the Chinese online novel market."
"According to the latest data, the current total monthly active users of all online novel platforms in China is only 20 million. This number has also entered a bottleneck. We have seized 50% of the market share. It is already very difficult to increase it. We must find
The new track, this track is the new media!”
"Through new media channels, we can let people who have never read online novels see our novels. We don't want to grab the 20 million, we want to eat the 1.4 billion cake!"
After Xingchen spoke, the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief below all frowned.
This is not the first time that new media channels have been mentioned within Qidian.
The so-called new media refers to the current online media platform.
For example, WeChat, Weibo, Toutiao, Tieba, etc.
Put the novel there to attract readers to read it.
These platforms are all giants, especially WeChat, which has more than 1 billion daily active users!
This is a big piece of cake. If we can convert some people to read online novels,
Even if it’s only 1%,
This is a huge increase for Qidian!
Three months ago, everyone aggressively posted the high-quality online articles that Qidian had accumulated over the years on various new media platforms.
Be prepared to count money from sacks from various channels,
But the effect has not been good, and few customers have been converted.
This frustrated the originally proud Qidian editorial department.
Xingchen saw everyone's expressions change slightly and said sternly: "Our book has not made a name for itself in the past three months. This is not a problem of strategy, but a problem of the book!"
"Come on, come on, take a look at the article "The Greatest Literary Man in History" that was recommended by a group last week. It starts with several ways to write the word 'fennel' for fennel beans. It talks about 500 words. For those who have never read the online article,
Who can stand to read this? Tell me, who can stand to stand to read this! And still laugh! Does the book you recommend still have the nerve to smile?"
At this time, the editor-in-chief of the second group, Styx, came out to smooth things over.
"Hehehe~ The boss is right, the policy must be resolutely implemented, but... we have published all the books with the best results in Qidian in recent years, all of which are works by Wan Ding, among which
There are quite a few that have been made into TV series and movies, but not many people are watching them, and we are also very worried, boss."
Editor-in-chief Xingchen patted the table and said:
"The readers of new media can be the same as the readership of our website! If the audience is the same, they will come to our website to read books by themselves without you pushing it! You can't use the same old methods to enter new markets! You need to change and reform!"
"Next week, each of your groups must select some new works that are far different from the website style. New media needs fresh blood. Do you understand?"
Xingchen said the last sentence by slapping the table,
All the editors-in-chief and editor-in-chief quickly said:
"I understand, boss!"
"I'm going to go look for new books right now!"
"I'll check my submission email"
The meeting broke up.
The editors each returned to their offices,
group two,
4 editors form a circle,
Editor-in-chief Styx lit up a cigarette and took a deep breath.
"Hi~ This time the boss is really serious... It seems that the boss of the new media channel is determined to win. We have to find a way to get something good, otherwise no one will get this year's year-end bonus."
"Little
bit, give you one”
The old editor doesn't like to do such a thankless job,
If you do well, there will be no bonus; if you do poorly, you will have to take the blame.
Can only be assigned to new editors.
"oh!"
Xiaoxing took the job without thinking much. When she got back, she started looking for works in the new library.
But over and over again, it’s always those articles,
It seems like everyone is rushing to adapt it,
Very well written,
But...it's good and nothing new,
Good so-so,
"Hey...if only these books weren't so good."
Another round of browsing, this time he did not search for new books, but directly looked for books that had been rejected by other editors.
Books written by public authors are cross-reviewed by each group. If the first two editors don’t like it, other editors can still read it.
But usually only new editors like him have time to read it.
The old editor couldn’t even finish the manuscripts submitted internally.
How can you flip through other people's unwanted trash?
"Huh? "Urban Dragon King's Son-in-law"? It's such a unique name. I've written more than 70,000 words..."
Xiaoxing dug out an article from the trash can in the library that had been rejected by three old editors.
Then I started reading...
Unknowingly, I saw the last chapter,
Little Xing glanced at her watch, half an hour had passed.
"Damn it! Time... why did it suddenly... disappear?"
"This unscientific!"
The professional quality of an editor is to be able to quickly review manuscripts. You can tell whether you can sign a contract from the first three chapters of the work.
I won't read all the unsigned books, that would be a waste of time.
But this book made Xiaoxing keep reading it unconsciously, and it was not until the last chapter that she suddenly realized,
I'm still at work!
But Xiaoxing thought carefully about what she had just watched.
My mind is blank,
Apart from the protagonist's show-off, I don't remember any distinctive characters, plots or scenes.
"But...it's pretty cool to say."
He became curious about the author named "Puding Le".
Later, Xiaoxing began to think about why the other three editors rejected such a book.
"The plot cannot withstand scrutiny, the characterization is weak, the writing is too low, and there is no adaptation value..."
After thinking about it for a while, I understood the reason why this book was rejected three times.
There is a big gap between it and the mainstream works on Qidian’s current website!
If it were normal, Xiaoxing would probably reject the manuscript. After all, the old editor must have a better vision than a new employee like him.
But now...
"Signed!"
“Try putting it into new media channels”
"Huh? I didn't sign a contract to update 10,000 words a day. My dear, your attitude is too correct, so I will reward you with this recommendation!"
These old authors cannot guarantee 2,000 words a day.
Qidian is now able to maintain 4,000 words of updates every day, which is already praised by readers.
If 6,000 words are updated stably, that would be great! Update the influential figures on the list!
As for 8000 and 10000, non-significant nodes cannot be seen...
Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that authors in this world are more particular about writing.
The choice of words and sentences is carefully considered, which naturally takes time.
