Chapter 62: It's so dangerous, I almost lost my mind!
Writer's Assistant, to boot.
Open, royalties income.
[Total manuscript fee in April: 247,906 yuan]
["Urban Son-in-law Dragon King"]
[Qidian main website: 2,587 yuan. New media channels: 230,128 yuan.]
[Estimated contribution fee for new media channels next month: 120,000 yuan.]
["The Rogue Miracle Doctor"]
[Qidian main website: 3,209 yuan (including 1,500 yuan for full attendance). New media channels: 1,431 yuan. Group channels: 10,551 yuan.]
[Estimated contribution fee for new media channels next month: 5,000 yuan.]
Seeing that "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" is still earning a steady stream of royalties for himself, Pu Jie's face burst into laughter.
"My dear... this is really a money-grabbing beast. It has been completed for two months and you can still earn 230,000? The new media channels are really awesome! The main website has no money, but the new media channels are still working hard.
Although the manuscript fee will be cut in half next month, it will still be 120,000!"
"It's weird, I worked so hard to write a book in my last life, for 5 years! I didn't make as much as a 1-million-word novel..."
"I can really fly on the wind!"
Don't look at the money, only 1% is in Pu Jie's hands, which is 2,326 yuan.
But the system saved the other money for Pu Jie!
The total deposits currently reach 2.41 million.
As long as this mission is completed, it can be taken out all at once!
In the end, the money is still his.
Therefore, the more money "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" can make, the better. He can't wait to earn 900,000 new media royalties every month like last month. Then he can make a lot of money.
But obviously this is impossible. His book has been completed, and his income capacity has dropped sharply. Moreover, the website will not promote the completed works, so the royalties from new media channels will be cut in half again next month, and there will not be much left in the next few months.
.
Last month, Pu Jie got a new computer and a new keyboard. He can write more smoothly and his coding speed has increased. In the same time as before, he can code 2,3,000 more words.
It keeps updating 12,000 words every day and can save more than 2,000 manuscripts.
In April, he updated a total of 370,000 words.
At present, the total number of words in the book "The Rogue Miracle Doctor" has reached 770,000, and half of it has been written!
At this rate, he would be able to finish it in two months if he worked hard.
At that time, as soon as you get the money, you will transform into an ordinary sophomore student with a deposit of 2.41 million.
From now on, when I go out to book a room, I will directly arrange the sexy water bed!
You don’t have to look at the price to buy a set, just wear one, blow one, and just play!
Don't ask him how a spinster knows this, after you read 1,000 novels, you will understand too!
But Pu Jie's smile did not last long.
When he looked at the royalties for "The Scoundrel Doctor", his smile gradually disappeared...
The main website and new media channels are both fine, with a combined total of only 4,600, which is similar to what he estimated.
But...what the hell is a group channel?
Haven't seen this before?
Why is there a royalties of 10,000!?
Pu Jie raised his eyes and looked around: "Who the hell is harming me again!"
"A sneeze! A sneeze! A sneeze!"
Qidian Group 2 Editorial Office.
Xiaoxing sneezed three times in a row, wiped her nose, shook her body, and looked at the two wolfberries soaked in the tea cup.
Hug the teacup tightly.
"Woooooo~ I really need it."
...
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Pujiesi couldn't figure out where this thing came from.
Look at the introduction of this royalties: Group channel royalties refer to the royalties provided by various cross-cooperation platforms such as Qidian’s PC website, app mobile terminal, and Qidian’s exclusive authorized platforms.
After reading it again, I don’t understand it anymore!
"What kind of explanation is this? Just tell me where the money came from! Why are you trying to harm me?"
Is this giving him a royalties of 10,000?
This is stealing 10,000 yuan from his subsidy!
hateful!
Pu Jie must figure out what went wrong. Is it a system error? Will there be more next month? How many will there be?
"I'm going to get it done in two months, don't mess with me!"
Pu Jie angrily found the QQ of 'Dog Editor Xiaoxing (Daodao)'.
Because Xiaoxing had just arranged two recommendation positions for him, Pujie added a knife to his remarks.
Pu Jie was about to collect all seven knives, so he took the editor's knife...
Screenshots of royalties from the group’s channels were sent out aggressively.
"How come there is a royalties of 10,000???"
"Suck~~Gudong~Bah, bah, bah!"
Xiaoxing took a sip of tea and spit out the wolfberry in her mouth into the cup.
"Huh? Pu Ding took the initiative to talk to me?"
Xiaoxing set up 'Special Care' for Pu Ding so that he could receive messages at any time.
After all...this is his number one general.
I am a new editor, I don’t have many author resources, but I have a capable author, so I have to lick it quickly...ah! Great service!
He saw the message sent by Pu Ding.
I was about to reply with the detailed source of the royalties from this channel, but suddenly my brows furrowed and my hands stopped on the keyboard.
"wrong..."
"Does an author like Pu Ding, who has a thorough understanding of the market, know the meaning of royalties from group channels? I'm afraid he found out the second day after WeChat Reading went online, because... this book was what he expected.
!”
"He just calculated that Qidian would sink the market and conquer the rural areas, so he wrote this book customized for rural groups in advance."
"Otherwise, with his market observation skills, would he know that this kind of book would not perform well on the main website and new media channels? It must be impossible!"
“No one writes a sure-fire book!”
"So...he didn't mean to ask me to explain the meaning of 'channel royalties', but he was asking...why there is only 10,000 royalties!"
Xiaoxing sat up straight, crossed her hands, and the ideas in her mind gradually became clear.
"That's right! As the number one reading channel on WeChat, a single book attracts 2.7 million users and 30,000 paying users. How can it only get a royalties of 10,000? As an expert in this field, he must have doubts about this number, so he came here
Question me."
"It was so dangerous...I almost lost my mind."
Xiaoxing praised his quick thinking and took another sip of wolfberry tea.
The reply was: "This is our problem. This month is special. The accounts on the new channel are a bit...complex, but don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again next month!"
In the first month, too much advertising money was spent, and much of it was used for publicity and subsidizing users, all of which came from the author's royalties. After all, this was an operating expense, helping the author sell books.
Qidian has always been like this. After all operating expenses are deducted, it will be split 50-50 with the author. It is impossible for the website to promote for free and let the author make a profit while paying for the advertising fees himself.
As soon as Pu Jie saw the reply, he understood instantly!
Financial issues......That's a miscalculation!
This makes sense. He doesn't know if he has any royalties from group channels.
"Then just take the 10,000 yuan away."
Pu Jie is not someone who takes advantage of the website.
The website lost 10,000, and he also lost 10,000, so why bother?
It's better to go back.
When Xiaoxing saw it, he immediately smiled bitterly.
ridicule!
Naked ridicule!
Pu Jie is mocking the operation department of Qidian. Why should they just give away 10,000 yuan to a beggar? It’s better not to give it.
"That's right... everyone should share the operating expenses of new channels together, but the book "The Rogue Doctor" accounts for more than half of the operating expenses, and the other more than 100 books combined are not as much as this one."
"And the take-off of the new channel is also due to the solid content of his book, which can attract traffic and attract fans. This is not because of the power of the operation, but because of the power of his book. The operation department that was taken away has to share so much with other people's royalties.
The cost...is really unreasonable.”
The greater the royalties, the greater the apportionment.
More wronged than Spider-Man!
"I won't accept it anymore. The colleagues in the new channel did something wrong, but I promise that this will not happen again in the future. You... spare them once."
He was afraid that if Pu Ding made trouble again, then updates would be discontinued, and the good situation that the new channel had just started would be gone, which would be bad for both Qidian and Pu Ding.
Pu Jie looked at Xiaoxing's reply and pondered for a moment.
Spare them once?
understood!
"If you send the wrong manuscript fee...the penalty will definitely be serious. If you return it, it will be equivalent to admitting the mistake. Then...it may lead to the financial officer being fired, and then losing your job..."
Xiaoxing is interceding on behalf of Finance!
Pu Jie is not an unreasonable person, and his 10,000 yuan subsidy is not much, so it would not be good for someone to be fired.
Whose father is that person? Whose son? Whose breadwinner is that person?
Who hasn’t made a mistake yet?
Besides, if there was no such system, I wouldn’t be able to say how much I would have to thank others for.
"Hey...forget it, keep it in mind so that we can meet each other in the future. After all, I am also a potential 2.4 millionaire, so I have to be open-minded..."
Pu Ding said: "Okay, then...this kind of thing won't happen again next month, right?"
Dog editor Xiaoxing (Daodao): "Don't worry, absolutely! Yes! No! Yes!"
