Chapter 79: Willows and Flowers Bright Another Village
June 7.
"The Rogue Miracle Doctor" was featured on the homepage of the Qidian Reading app and recommended by the editor-in-chief. The collection increased significantly and the number of subscriptions began to increase exponentially!
...
June 10th.
New media channels once again promoted "The Rogue Miracle Doctor" and pushed the book to the advertising pages of all users, ranking first on the bestseller list.
...
June 20th.
WeChat reading activities have been comprehensively tightened and chapters are given away, and the recharge amount is huge! At the same time, a special event is held for "The Rural Scoundrel Doctor" in the mini program, and the full subscription is discounted at 20%, which will directly increase the sales volume!
...
July 3rd is the day when manuscript fees are paid.
Pu Jie took a look at the total amount, and the only illusion in his heart was broken.
Death.
Dachun, who was playing World of Warcraft on the upper bunk, had just used the assassin to complete a set of exquisite combos: sap + backstab + two-handed backstab + serial backstab, ending with a strangulation.
"Ouch!"
Just as he was about to share his joy with Pu Jie, he saw that Pu Jie had fallen on his quilt and seemed to be walking very uneasily.
"Eh? Brother Jie? Brother Jie, what's wrong with you! Brother Jie doesn't want it!"
...
Pu Jie woke up after being pinched in Dachun.
It's impossible to survive until Dachun wakes up, and artificial respiration is about to begin in Dachun.
Pu Jie can only face reality.
He failed.
Complete defeat.
Although I knew the result a month ago and the copyright fee had already exceeded the system's subsidy amount, I was always looking forward to some miracle happening.
What if the system conscience discovers it?
But obviously, the system is just a money-saving machine with no emotion.
Pu Jie published the last chapter of "The Rogue Miracle Doctor" and wrote a sentence at the end of the volume: The book is complete.
This book ends the sinful life.
Pu Jie took another look at the manuscript fees for June.
[Total manuscript fee in June: 2,245,032 yuan (1,863,376 yuan after tax)]
["Urban Son-in-law Dragon King"]
[Qidian main website: 2,510 yuan. New media channels: 59,891 yuan.]
[Estimated contribution fee for new media channels next month: 30,000 yuan.]
["The Rogue Miracle Doctor"]
[Qidian main website: 34,803 yuan (including 1,500 yuan for full attendance). New media channels: 235,002 yuan. Group channels: 912,826 yuan. Copyright fee: 1,000,000 yuan.]
[Estimated royalties from new media channels next month: 1 million yuan.]
The system prompts.
[Ding~ It has been detected that the host’s second novel has been completed, and the challenge will be settled. 】
["The Rural Scoundrel Doctor" has accumulated royalties of 2,863,376 yuan (including 1 million yuan in new media channel royalties expected in June, which will be reduced or increased accordingly after the actual royalties are settled). It has exceeded the system subsidy line and triggered the anti-addiction regulations. Only the actual royalties will be paid.
1%, the rest is kept by the system.】
[The total amount of the host manuscript fee distributed is: 28,633 yuan.]
[The host’s second novel is sharp and has a long-term layout, and the subsequent income will definitely remain high. The host is no longer satisfied with fast-food Internet articles, and knows that the steady stream is the right way, which is worthy of praise! The host please continue to work hard and hit the supreme god of the Internet literary world.]
[Ding~ The special task ‘Right to use royalties’ has not been completed. 】
[Dip~Your CCB card with the last number 4004 has an income of 28,633 yuan and a balance of 31,650.65 yuan...]
Pu Jie was devastated when he saw that he had only earned 28,633 yuan after working hard for more than four months!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The most important thing is that the special task has not been completed!
Not only has there been 2.5 million yuan in royalties stored in it that cannot be touched, but a large sum has just been deposited in it!
The total amount of manuscript fees currently stored in the system is 5,334,742 yuan.
"Country Scoundrel Doctor" makes more money than "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King"!
And there will be a lot of income in the future.
And what about Pu Jie?
I only got a fraction!
The whole TM is working for the black system!
"System, I want to be unbound! I have become a god in the Internet literature world and I don't need your help anymore!"
"Then I have become a god. Please give me back the 5 million royalties! Hurry!"
[Didi didi~ It has been detected that the host has become too obsessed with past achievements and no longer strives to challenge the Supreme God of Internet literature. Electric shock therapy is about to be used to prevent the situation from getting worse. 】
Pujie:(*゜ー゜*)
"System, you are right, I don't have one."
[The situation returns to normal, cancel the electric shock.]
A polite smile appeared on Pu Jie's lips.
"It would rather be a system that is considerate~"
【It is my honor to serve you.】
Pu Jie’s heart: ▄︻┻┳═一……☆(>○
Pu Jie sat slumped on the bed, feeling that he was not bound to the 'Network God System', but to the 'Vampire System for Author Fees', constantly squeezing fresh blood from himself and sucking it into its bottomless pit that could never be filled.
.....
He took another look at the manuscript fee stored in the system, and felt a little more at ease.
"Hey... at least the royalties are still there and have not disappeared. As long as you work hard, you still have a chance to make a comeback!"
[Right to use royalties] The task has only failed, but it has not disappeared. He can open a book again and restart the task.
Theoretically speaking, Pu Jie's failure to make a lot of money this time was not as serious as imagined...
Whether the system helped him save it or it was in his own hands, at least he really earned 2.86 million in royalties, and there will be a steady stream of income in the future. This money is always his, and no one can take it away.
It's just that 99% of them were saved by the system as regular coupons for them.
When the expiration date comes, you can still take it out.
He evolved from a hidden tycoon with a level of 2 million to a hidden tycoon with a level of 5 million.
Double the value!
Although he doesn't have much money on hand, only a little over 30,000, it can still make his life very comfortable if he doesn't buy fixed assets.
In short, no matter how miserable it is, can it be as miserable as the previous life?
Pu Jie felt a little more comfortable when he thought about it.
At this time, Wei Fan called.
"Editor Pu, the crew of "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" wraps up filming today!"
"The crew has finished filming!? It's so fast..."
After four full months of filming, the crew of "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" has officially wrapped up filming and entered the post-production process.
Wei Fan laughed loudly on the other end of the phone: "Editor Pu, I have a hunch that our drama will definitely be a hit!"
Pu Jie: "I believe in your strength, senior."
In fact, he is not optimistic that this drama will be a big hit, even though they worked hard on the scripts of the first few episodes and did a pretty good job.
But...what’s so good about the Crooked Dragon King?
After the freshness of the first few episodes, the audience will probably be tired of it, and the ratings will definitely not be high by then.
Wei Fan also complimented him politely: "Pu's new book is also very good! I heard that reading on new media and WeChat has become a big hit, and the copyright fee was sold for 2 million. The money you earn alone is better than me.
The crew spends a lot of money and makes a lot of money!"
The corner of Pu Jie's mouth twitched slightly. Damn it, I hung up the phone just because you were talking like that!
"hehe..."
Wei Fan: "How about the director Fu I introduced to you? Have you talked to him? I think he can definitely shoot your novel well. He has good abilities. Although there are no high-rated TV series, the script is not good.
Pu’s novels will definitely take off this time!”
Pu Jie: "???"
"Do you know Fu Weng?"
"Of course! It was me who returned your new book to him."
Wei Fan's tone was as if you are going to praise me.
"..."
Well, the mole is caught!
"Senior, I usually confide in you and tell you repeatedly not to introduce directors to me. You really shouldn't..."
Wei Fan thought to himself and said: "Um, I asked the finance department to pay your screenwriting fee directly to your card. Although it is not much, it is also the crew's sincere wish."
[Dip~Your CCB card with the last number 4004 received a transfer of 200,000 yuan from Ma*Mei, with a balance of 231,650.65 yuan...]
"By the way, Pu Bian, what did you just say I shouldn't do?"
Pujie:(*゜ー゜*)
"It's okay, I support whatever Director Wei does!"
Ooho~
Another village is full of bright flowers and dark willows!
If you plant flowers deliberately, they will not bloom, but casual sex will lead to disaster.
Pu Jie has been optimistic about director Wei Fan from the very beginning, and his approach to everything is authentic!
Pu Jie once again had the confident smile of a five-year veteran on the streets.
"Haha, one failure cannot affect my determination to write a bad book!"
