Opening the door, Yuan Shuiqing asked funnyly: "It's so late and you're still not sleeping? Stop writing and go back to sleep! Don't stay up all night! It's not good for your health."
Sun Quan glanced at the number of words displayed on the computer screen and said: "It will be ready soon. There are still a few hundred words left. This chapter is done. I will go to bed after I finish writing. You go to bed first! Be good! Go!
"
Yuan Shuiqing sighed helplessly and nodded, "Okay! Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook you something to eat?"
Sun Quan rolled his eyes, "What about you? Are you hungry?"
"I'm fine. If you're hungry, I'll cook something for myself. If you're not hungry, then I'll forget it."
"Then go ahead and cook something! Cook whatever you like, and I'll eat whatever you like."
"Okay, then you write quickly. After you finish writing, eat and sleep quickly!"
"good!"
…
Yuan Shuiqing went downstairs, and Sun Quan gathered his concentration and continued typing.
After ten minutes, I finally finished this chapter.
Close the document and refresh the author's backend. The number of collectors of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" has increased to 477.
The growth rate is very fast, it is hard to believe that this is the growth rate of new book collection posted by a new account.
But the starting point in 2007 was so awesome. At this time, the starting point was the well-deserved absolute hegemon in the Internet literary circle. In 2006, a large number of great and mid-level authors such as Red Blood and Sky Cloud were poached by digital websites, and they were once in the limelight.
Wuliang's starting point was shaky for a time.
But as the parent company Shanda suddenly made a large investment and invested an additional 100 million in Qidian, Qidian, which was originally panicked, stabilized instantly. From the editors above to the authors below, people's hearts quickly stabilized, and no one felt that Qidian was about to be attacked.
Fierce digital stands beyond.
Because of the fierce digital station, the total investment is only 10 million.
Qidian, where people's hearts have stabilized quickly, soon became full of vitality. A large number of great and mid-level authors were poached by others? It doesn't matter! The large number of middle-level authors accumulated by Qidian over the past few years are so awesome that they can serve as sufficient recommendation positions.
Given to the best of these mid-level authors, popular works have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Every category channel is creating gods. The result is the birth of new gods one after another.
The biggest reason why these new gods were able to quickly condense their godhood was that there were too many readers of Qidian during this period, but readers who like to read online articles are already accustomed to finding books to read at Qidian.
There is absolutely no problem with the strength of some middle-level authors at Qidian. They have never been able to become gods before. The reasons may be multifaceted, but they are suppressed by a group of great gods and middle-level gods and cannot get many high-quality recommendations. They are definitely a
Very important reason.
And what about start-up digital websites?
At the beginning of the establishment of the website, it was indeed very popular. The top masters at the starting point, Hongxue and Tianyun, were poached. At the same time, a group of great masters and mid-level masters were also poached, and many readers also followed.
but……
As time goes by, the fatal flaws of digital stations are exposed.
——This fatal flaw is that they have great gods, medium gods, and a group of unknown authors below them. But between the great gods, middle gods, and unknown authors, they are missing the most important link—middle-level authors!
Readers who followed those great masters and Zhongshen to read books at digital stations soon discovered that after they finished following the works of their favorite masters and Zhongshen, they could not find any books to read.
The quality of the works written by unknown authors is far from the quality of the works written by the mid-level authors at Qidian.
They have become accustomed to the large number of works available at the starting point, but at the digital station... except for the works of the great and medium gods that have been poached, they cannot see other works at all.
As for those great gods and middle gods who have been poached, each has a different work style. Readers from the beginning and the past often only like the works of one or two of them. After reading the daily updates of these two people,
What to do with the rest of the time?
Most readers don't care if there is an occasional book shortage, but who can bear it if there is a book shortage every day?
As a result, more and more readers are returning to Qidian. At most, they can go to the digital website every day to catch up on the updates of their favorite masters or middle gods, and then leave after reading it.
In this general environment, starting from 2007, the number and influence of great masters may not have returned to their peak, but the number of readers has exceeded before.
Because the influence of online articles has been expanding, the number of readers who mistakenly fall into the pit of online articles has also been expanding.
If someone were to count how many popular works emerged from Qidian around 2007, they might be shocked. Many future greats were at the peak of their creation during that period.
There were even many future greats who suddenly rose to prominence during that period.
That was the period in the history of Qidian where the largest number of gods were created. There had never been one before that, and there had never been one after that... Anyway, it had never happened until Sun Quan was reborn.
As a result, many authors who entered the industry late later lamented that they were unlucky and did not catch up with that good time.
The topic has gone too far, so let’s get back to the topic.
After seeing the number of collectors in the author's background, Sun Quan took a look at the list of newcomers and new books.
Ranking first is still Disha's "Fake Hero", Luo Ba's "Hegemony" ranks third, and Liu Hui's "The Girl Next Door" ranks ninth.
And his "Ring of the Immortal Dragon" has jumped from the original 32nd to the 4th.
This is due to the fact that "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is currently on the recommendation list, and also due to the fact that he posted an updated chapter just after 2 o'clock tonight.
But four people couldn't satisfy him. After thinking about it, Sun Quan simply called up the saved manuscript, posted another chapter, and asked for recommendation votes and collection at the end of the chapter.
He wants to see if he can break into the top ten of the newcomers and new books list tomorrow.
"The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" has just reached the first small recommendation position. If it can break into the top ten of the new book list at this time, it means that this book really has the potential to become a hit.
Because there must be at least dozens of new books on the newcomers' new book list. This week's recommendation position is better than that of "The Immortal Dragon Ring". They also have more words than "The Immortal Dragon Ring" and are more attractive to readers.
If despite all these unfavorable factors, "The Immortal Dragon Ring" can still break into the top ten of the new book list, then there can only be one explanation - the quality of "The Immortal Dragon Ring" is far superior to those works.
"The noodles are cooked, but you haven't written it yet?"
Yuan Shuiqing suddenly asked at the door. Sun Quan looked up and saw two bowls of noodles in her hands, one in each hand. Seeing that he was still sitting in front of the computer, she looked slightly dissatisfied.
Sun Quan quickly ran over with a smile, took a bowl of noodles from her hand, and explained with a smile: "It's ready, it's ready! I'm waiting for your noodles! Come in and eat together! I'll put it aside for a while.
Let’s listen to this song while eating! Okay?”
Yuan Shuiqing glanced at him, hummed, and walked in.
"How is the performance of your new book in the recommendation position today?"
she asked casually.
"It's not bad! It's already ranked 4th on the newcomers and new books list."
She asked casually, and Sun Quan also answered casually.
"Has anyone criticized the cover I made for you recently? If not, I will make another one for you." She asked again.
Yes! She made the cover of Sun Quan's book "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
It’s so cool to have a girl with excellent computer skills. From now on, my mother no longer has to worry about Sun Quan’s new book not having a suitable cover.
By the way, the cover that Yuan Shuiqing made for Sun Quan is quite distinctive. The background color of the cover is dark. The dark background is a gloomy ancient tomb, with a tattered coffin open and a body lying inside. On one of the bones covered with cobwebs, a shiny black dragon-shaped ring became the most conspicuous point on the cover.
The four golden characters "Immortal Dragon Ring" are arranged horizontally below the ring, and further below are several small purple characters - "Salted Fish of Struggle".
“The response has been great! No need to bother me anymore!”
Sun Quan said with a smile, lowered his head and started eating noodles.
"That's good!" Yuan Shuiqing smiled slightly and started to stutter.
…
The next day, the 20th of the month, Monday.
morning.
All editors in the Qidian Editorial Department officially go to work. The first thing most editors do when they go to work is to make tea. The second thing is to turn on the computer and browse the book titles on various rankings at will.
When they see the works of authors in their own group or under them appear on a certain list, they usually have a smile on their lips.
The results of their own works are their achievements!
Performance is not only related to their income, but also their future.
Da Zhuang, the editor-in-chief of the third editorial team, and the female editor across from his desk issued cards and were also looking at various lists at this time.
As she looked at it, the hairpin suddenly laughed. After attracting Da Zhuang's attention, she clicked her tongue twice and said with a smile: "Someone must be very disappointed! Haha, it's not easy for me to find someone who can reach the top ten of the monthly ticket list. The author suddenly withered... Where is the maniac who posts updates? He hasn't posted updates for several months? Haha..."
Da Zhuang's face turned dark when he heard this. Although she didn't name him by name, he was sure that he was the one she was laughing at.
Authors who can reach the top ten in the monthly vote list... How many such authors are there under their third editorial team?
She doesn't have any subordinates! Nor does the other editor-in-chief have any subordinates. The only few subordinates are all personally responsible for the editor-in-chief, and the only one left is my grandson who works under him Da Zhuang.
As for those great people who are personally responsible for the editor-in-chief?
Does she dare to laugh at hairpins?
Coupled with the four words "explosive madman", the direction becomes clearer.
After enduring it, Da Zhuang couldn't help but retorted: "So what? At least I have someone who has the strength to reach the top ten in the overall rankings. Do you have any of them? After a while, he might regain his glory again. What! Huh!”
Hairpin choked at his words and rolled his eyes. He stood up suddenly angrily, grabbed the tea cup and walked quickly to the tea room.
In the tea room, a thin woman was pouring tea. When she heard footsteps, she looked back and saw it was a hairpin. She smiled and said hello, "Good morning!"
"morning!"
Faika replied casually with a sullen face.
The thin woman poured the tea and made way for the hairpin. When the hairpin was pouring the tea, the thin woman did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she leaned against the wall next to her with interest and talked to the hairpin.
"Hey! I'm going to tell you something interesting! Do you want to hear it?"
"What's going on?" Faika asked casually.
"Hey, you know I'm responsible for signing contracts with authors. Guess whose new book I signed at the beginning of the month?"
"Who is it?" As she spoke, the hairpin had already poured tea. She was not interested in the topic that the thin woman pretended to be mysterious.
"Hehe, the book "My Decathlon" was written by you, right? The author of that book has released a new book, did you know? He has changed into a new vest!"
