Chapter 311: New Record of Manuscript Fees and Meeting Proposal (1800 Monthly Tickets)
The same morning, around 10 o'clock.
Sun Quan is checking his February royalties in the author's backstage.
The results satisfied him. In February, his subscription fee was more than 50,000 yuan, and his share of the rewards was nearly 30,000 yuan. There was also a perfect attendance award and a monthly ticket award of 10,000 yuan.
Added together, it actually exceeded 100,000 yuan.
And this is only the royalties for his book "The Immortal Dragon Ring". His other author's account, "My Decathlon", also received nearly 20,000 yuan this month.
For the two books, only the royalties he could get at the starting point were calculated. His pre-tax royalties for February were more than 120,000.
This number was a bit surprising when he first saw it. In 2008, he was writing novels at Qidian. How could he earn so much in a month?
He thought for a while and came up with several reasons.
First of all, at the end of 2006, Qidian announced that the annual salary of the top masters exceeded 1 million, which attracted wolves, such as digital websites and other small websites that subsequently popped up.
In 2007, after Qidian experienced a period of turmoil, the site may not have recovered to the scale it had in 2006, but the reader base has increased a lot. To put it simply, in this year, the total number of readers who read novels has expanded a lot.
The magic of Internet articles attracts young people one after another.
In this era before the rise of short videos, reading novels is the cheapest and most affordable entertainment activity for many young people.
Therefore, in 2008, even if it is only the beginning of the year, there should be more than one or two great people with a starting monthly income of over 100,000 yuan.
Secondly, the tipping function he previously suggested to Qidian has also increased the income of each book. For example, his tipping income for "The Immortal Dragon Ring" in February was divided with the website, and his personal part was
Nearly 30,000 yuan.
Thirdly, Sun Quan felt that one of the important reasons for the explosive increase in his royalties in February was the effect of his monthly ticket battle with "Legend of the Housekeeper".
As we all know, the monthly ticket competition between two books has a great stimulating effect on the popularity of both parties' works.
The number of readers who subscribe will increase, and the number of readers who will give rewards will also increase. The amount of a reward from a single reader may increase tenfold or a hundredfold.
This is also a very important reason why some great masters have made private appointments to start monthly ticket battles with each other.
——Whether we win or lose, it’s good for each other!
If you include the royalties from Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, Sun Quan smiled, and you should have more than enough money to prepare for the wedding.
At the same time, he also expects that his royalties will continue to grow explosively in a few months.
It’s not like he’s going to win the top spot in the monthly voting rankings again in a few months.
It’s because just in January this year, Qidian had reached a cooperation agreement with the mobile library.
From then on, after all the works of Qidian are put on the shelves and reach a certain number of words, they will appear in the mobile library and can be read by mobile phone users for a fee.
The mobile library is a brand new platform launched by the mobile company. It is said to be a third-party novel reading platform that is only a platform and does not cultivate its own authors.
Do mobile companies have many users? Everyone on earth should know this, right?
Several websites in the industry have reached agreements with mobile library, and Qidian, the industry leader, is not immune to this.
Sun Quan has witnessed the entire process of the rise and fall of the mobile library.
He naturally knew that it would not be long before the mobile library would rise, and the income of Qidian authors, especially the income of the great masters, would increase explosively.
Internet writers are about to usher in the golden age of online writing.
In this era, the great masters have finally made a fortune. Qidian Shengsheng has used his huge online works to help Mobile Library rise to become a giant novel reading platform on mobile phones.
Until n years later, Qidian may finally wake up and stop fighting against the enemy! Terminate the cooperation with the mobile library.
Since then, the glory of the mobile library has ended, and it will never regain the glory of its heyday.
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Sun Quan.
Even if it was relevant, it would only increase his royalties. As for the starting point and the separation and combination of the mobile library, he was too lazy to care.
He won't remind Qidian not to be an enemy, so why should he?
Qidian put his books in the mobile library to sell, and it didn't mean that they wouldn't give him any money. Wouldn't the royalties shared by the mobile library be good?
Sun Quan sat in front of the computer, thought for a while, recalled for a while, and was about to type two chapters of the manuscript when his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was Yuan Shuiqing calling.
"Hello? Wife, what are your orders? Hehe."
As soon as the call was answered, he was all talk.
Yuan Shuiqing is probably a little speechless!
"When you call me wife, just call me wife. Don't call me 'son', okay? I'm not used to it."
Sun Quan chuckled.
Yuan Shuiqing added: "I have something to discuss with you, please be more serious!"
Sun Quan looked serious, "Well, tell me! I'm listening!"
Yuan Shuiqing: "Didn't we agree before that we would leave for City M in the next two days? Now the situation has changed. My aunt and uncle came today. They heard that we got the marriage certificate and were a little angry. They blamed me for deciding to get married and get the certificate.
This matter was not discussed with them at all. My grandparents and I coaxed them for a while, and then we managed to calm their anger. Then my aunt made a proposal, and my grandparents agreed...
"
At this point, she was a little hesitant, as if hesitating whether to speak out the proposal.
Sun Quan frowned slightly, "What is your proposal?"
He thought her aunt was acting like a monster and causing some mischief.
Yuan Shuiqing: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just... that is to say, since we have received the certificate, then the marriage should be put on the agenda, but they, they haven't met your parents yet, so, I
My aunt’s opinion is that the parents of our two families should sit down to have a meal together, and then discuss our marriage, such as when to decide, how to do it, and other miscellaneous things. Alas! Anyway, I just listened.
To be honest, I made a proposal to get married on a trip, hoping to save some trouble, but guess what happened?"
"hehe"
Sun Quan laughed and asked, "Were you scolded?"
Yuan Shuiqing: "..."
After a moment of silence, she sighed and asked, "How did you guess that?"
Sun Quan touched his brush-like head and said with a smile: "Is this difficult to guess? How many of us elders can accept our children traveling to get married? Maybe they were planning to wait for us to get married when we were very young.
At that time, what happened, I guess I have even planned which relatives and friends I am going to invite. Haha, now that you say you want to go on a trip to get married, it would be strange if they don’t scold you!"
Yuan Shuiqing was silent again.
After a few seconds, she sighed again, "That's right! As soon as I mentioned that we could travel and get married, I was attacked by a group of people. My aunt, my grandma, my grandpa and my uncle, just one of them.
No one spoke for me, they all lectured me and scolded me. You don’t know, I really wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy!"
"Hehe...haha..."
Sun Quan imagined the general scene at that time, couldn't help but laugh louder and louder, and then made Yuan Shuiqing laugh.
"Smile, smile, smile! You are so ridiculous! Do you dare to laugh again for me? Do you want to die?"
"Well……"
Sun Quan's laughter stopped abruptly.
There was still a smile on his face, but the laughter suddenly disappeared.
He subconsciously covered his mouth with one hand, his expression a bit shocked. He did not expect that after receiving the certificate, Yuan Shuiqing would not only talk more, but also become more brutal and tough.
The word "fart" could come out of her mouth, and she dared to threaten him so "viciously".
He suddenly realized something was wrong.
This girl won't become more and more savage in the future, right?
Does she think that since I got the certificate with her, she will trust me? So she is confident?
You really think I can't bear to hit her, right?
Well……
Thinking of this, Sun Quan blinked and suddenly realized sadly that he seemed to be really reluctant to hit her, so...
Am I really going to be eaten by her?
"Hey? Hello? Why don't you speak anymore? Are you still listening?"
Yuan Shuiqing's inquiry came over the phone.
Sun Quan sighed and said sadly: "I'm sorry, the number you dialed is not in the service area. Please call again later..."
Before she finished speaking, Yuan Shuiqing laughed and scolded: "What are you doing? Be more serious! Anyway, I have told you about the matter. You can discuss it with your uncle and aunt later! Then choose one in the next few days.
Today, in the name of your family, please invite my grandpa, grandma, aunt, and uncle to have a meal! Since the elders are eager to discuss our marriage, we will follow their arrangements, do you think it is okay?"
"Okay! No problem! It's a piece of cake! Wait for my good news."
Sun Quan agreed immediately.
Yuan Shuiqing found traditional weddings troublesome and wanted to travel to get married. He actually found it troublesome, but as long as he thought that the person he was marrying was Yuan Shuiqing, he was not afraid of the trouble.
He was even looking forward to it in his heart.
He had never been married in his previous life, and had only attended the weddings of relatives and friends. He was never the protagonist at those weddings.
He could only sit down there, eat and drink, and then, like the crowd, clap and cheer when the situation required it.
Finally, when the wedding was over, the groom and the bride went to the bridal chamber. He didn't have anything to do. The most outrageous thing was that the bridesmaids were even taken away.
…
At noon that day, when Sun Quan went to his store for lunch, he found an opportunity to tell his parents what Yuan Shuiqing had said.
His parents' reaction was as expected.
Not only did I not find it troublesome, I was also very happy.
Mom said: "It should be true! I was talking to your dad about this last night. You said that you two children have already received their marriage certificates, but our parents have not met yet. This is inappropriate!
"
Dad Sun Zhicai agreed with a smile on his face: "That's right! Logically speaking, our family should mention this matter first. Since their family also has this intention, then don't put it off! Just tonight! Ah Quan, please come back and follow us quickly.
Let’s talk to their family and see if it’s okay tonight.”
