Sun Quan, who has recovered somewhat, is sitting below in a silver-gray suit, sitting near the front.
On the left is Sanfeng and on the right is Shalun.
Sanfeng is a master of the urban genre and is very popular. Shalun is one of the second batch of platinum signed by Qidian. He is considered a platinum author in the early days of Qidian. He has strong writing and plot structure skills. He once set the highest record for Qidian electronic subscriptions.
At his peak, he also had few opponents at the starting point.
But he has now passed his peak period. Although the popularity of "Sirius", which is currently being serialized, is not weak, it is difficult to reach the top of the monthly ticket list. In the new book issue, it is even more dangerous due to the pioneering work of Mu Mu Liu.
But no matter what, no one can deny Sha Lun's strength. Sun Quan was once a fan of his books and liked his urban works very much.
Unfortunately, after "Sirius", Sha Lun will almost change her career. This should be regarded as a big loss for book fans and a big loss for the Internet literary circle.
But for Shalun personally, his change of career was a decision that took him to another peak in his career.
In Sun Quan's past memories, Shalun made a lot of money after joining the game production industry and accumulated a net worth of over 100 million early on. Sun Quan still remembers that during the Spring Festival of a certain year, Shalun, who had not written novels for many years, was there.
A certain author suddenly appeared in the group. After chatting with everyone for a few words, he gave everyone a big red envelope worth 5,000 yuan for everyone to grab.
At that time, Sun Quan was a die-hard writer, and his monthly royalties were only four to five thousand.
You must know that he entered the industry around the same time as Sha Lun. Compared with others, he is quite disappointed.
That’s the difference between cloud and mud!
One is in heaven, the other is humbled in the dust.
But today, he sat with Sha Lun to attend Qidian's Writers Summit.
Before the summit started, Sun Quan had been chatting with Sanfeng and Shalun since he was a child. Both of them were authors he liked very much in the past. It can be said that their works accompanied Sun Quan through day and night and brought him joy.
There have been many joys, sorrows and joys.
Sanfeng is more talkative, while Shalun looks like a white-faced scholar. Her skin is really fair, a few shades whiter than many female authors attending the annual meeting today. Her lips are red and her teeth are white. Do you think that makes her irritating?
In Sun Quan's eyes, these two are great gods.
As everyone knows, at this time, he is also a great master in the eyes of other authors. He has also signed a platinum contract, and he has also won the first place in the starting point monthly voting list twice.
At the starting point of a cloud of masters, in this sacred place in the Internet literature circle, who can take the first place in the overall list, who is not a master among masters?
Generally speaking, even if an author is willing to go out and brush up the data, he or she will not have the chance to reach the top of the list, because there are always wealthy book fans with a strong sense of justice who will teach you how to behave because they can't stand the evil.
What's more, if the data is too obvious, Qidian will not just sit idly by and ignore it.
Perhaps Qidian has never been absolutely fair, but it has still achieved basic fairness.
This is also the main reason why many writers are willing to stay at the starting point, no matter whether it is a big fire or a street fight. Only when basic fairness can be guaranteed can everyone have fun! Otherwise, who would still want to stay here with so many shady stories?
The leaders of the Writers Association, the leaders of Shanda Literature, and the leaders of Qidian have taken turns to take the stage to deliver speeches.
Sun Quan sat in the audience, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Especially when he saw Brother Qiang, the current helmsman of Shanda Literature, taking the stage to deliver a speech. In his past life, as an online writer, he had never had a good impression of Brother Qiang.
Because this person is the helmsman of Shanda Literature and took over Shanda Literature. After taking over Qidian, he has been sitting on the side of traditional literature.
Shanda Group invested a lot of money in Shanda Literature. At first, the online writers were excited, waiting for the funds to be used to expand the starting point and improve the welfare of writers.
In the end, what do you think this strong guy did?
He waved a check and bought out all the half-dead competitors that had been squeezed by Qidian over the years at a high price. Calling them competitors, he was somewhat exalting those websites, because several of them were already on the verge of bankruptcy.
For example, under the banyan tree.
Brother Qiang bought a large number of half-dead websites, including male and female videos, and allocated funds to those websites in an attempt to revive them.
A large number of traditional writers are also invited to settle in Qidian to compete for the recommendation positions and exposure opportunities of Qidian authors.
Brother Qiang enjoys doing similar things.
Let me ask, how could Sun Quan, an online writer, like such a person at the helm?
By the way, the slogan "Channel is King" was also shouted by this strong brother.
After shouting this slogan, he cooperated with the mobile library and shared all the works accumulated by Qidian over the years to the mobile library for sale.
This move, within a few years, allowed the mobile library to grow in size and fatten to a level that was many times higher than the annual profit from the starting point.
It's like cultivating a powerful opponent for Qidian with your own hands.
How was he raised?
The books from the starting point are placed in the mobile library, and the dividing ratio is 4:6. The starting point is divided into 40%, and the mobile library gets 60%.
The 40% that Qidian receives must be divided in half with the author.
It is equivalent to saying that if the work that the Qidian author worked so hard to write is sold out in the mobile library, the author can only get 20% of the royalties, and only this 20% will have to be paid by himself.
Thanks to Brother Qiang’s move, from now on, any third-party channel provider that appears will require a share ratio of 4:6.
…
Finally, the tedious process was finally completed, and the host on the stage announced that the awards would begin.
Sun Quan, who had already received the news from the editor-in-chief Haiyu, sat down and began to take a deep breath. He was waiting for the award-winning guest on the stage to read out his name.
I was a little worried about gains and losses.
I'm not sure if Hairtail's talk about getting a prize was to trick him into coming to attend the annual meeting. What if she lied to me?
Reason told him that it shouldn't be possible.
But what if?
Who knows if the moral integrity of hairtail is still there? What if she really cheated on him?
Sha Lun next to her suddenly turned to look at Sun Quan, a little curious, "You seem a little nervous?"
"No! You saw it wrong!"
Sun Quan flatly denied it.
Shalun smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, a voice came from the stage, "The one who is about to be announced is the Newcomer of the Year... He is... He is... Xianyu, my old sun! Congratulations to the author, Xianyu, my old sun! Please come on stage! Please!"
Sun Quan, who should have jumped up, heard the good news, but instead sat there without moving, feeling that everything in front of him was dreamlike and unreal. He was afraid that he had heard wrongly.
I didn't dare to move because I was afraid that if I heard wrongly but I stood up on stage to receive the award, I would be laughed at for the rest of my life.
He felt like there was a buzzing in his ears, so it was possible that he was hallucinating.
But Mitoyo next to him touched his arm, applauded and smiled and reminded him in a low voice, "Come on stage! Why are you standing still? Are you afraid that you won't get the trophy when you go on stage?"
Sha Lun on the other side was also laughing and applauding, and he also quietly kicked Sun Quan, "Salted fish! Come on! Newcomer King, remember to treat us later!"
"Please come to the stage to accept the award! Please!"
The award-winning guest on the stage repeated with a smile, his eyes already falling on Sun Quan's face.
He is a leader of the Writers Association.
This time, Sun Quan finally stood up. He was sure that he had heard correctly, but he still looked a little dazed. He stumbled out of the seating area and walked to the stage.
He felt a little incredible.
Are you still considered a newcomer? Are you still qualified to win the Rookie King?
Isn’t the Newcomer King the author of the book Conferring Gods?
I have written "I am a decathlon" before!
He, a great talent, probably didn't pay attention before. In fact, the previous Newcomer King of Qidian is rarely awarded to pure newcomers who only have one work to their name.
"Congratulations! Young man!"
The leader of the Writers' Association held the trophy in both hands with a smile and handed it to Sun Quan.
"thanks, thanks!"
Sun Quan bent down slightly, took it with both hands, and said thank you repeatedly. At this time, he was still in a daze.
The host next to him smiled and reminded him to give his acceptance speech.
Sun Quan held the trophy, nodded, walked to the microphone, and looked at the faces of the first-class authors and masters in the audience with different expressions. His mind was a little blank.
Although most of the authors, masters, and Qidian leaders and editors in the audience had smiles on their faces and could be said to be very friendly, he was still nervous.
very nervous!
When he attended his company's annual meeting before, he didn't have stage fright when it was his turn to speak, but here he was nervous when facing his peers, editors and website leaders.
He felt a little guilty.
Because he knows he is a cheater.
At this annual meeting in the original time and space, and every subsequent annual meeting at Qidian, nothing happened to him. But today, as a reborn person, he stood on this podium and gave the trophy that he couldn't remember to whom it belonged to.
Take it in your hand.
It doesn't matter if you feel that you have robbed or stolen someone's treasure, but you have to give a speech on your achievements in front of so many colleagues. Isn't it a wonderful feeling?
"Ahem, I didn't expect...I really didn't expect that I could win this award, really! I think there must be someone here who is more qualified to win this award than me. Well, this is what I think, haha, I accidentally lost it
Now that you have spoken out what is in your heart, I won’t be in trouble, right?”
After Sun Quan took another deep breath, he finally spoke bravely. As soon as he said this, before he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter, joyful laughter, and kind laughter, and then there was another round of applause, even more enthusiastic than before.
of applause.
Everyone thought he was humble.
Sun Quan was startled by the sudden laughter and applause from the audience, his face turned a little red, and he smiled guiltily, but in the eyes of everyone in the audience, he felt that this guy was too modest.
The third young master applauded, shook his head and laughed, and said to the author next to him: "This salted fish is really interesting, and the polite words he says are so sincere..."
The author next to him nodded in agreement: "Yes! This guy has fun every time he asks for a monthly ticket. When he comes here, he is still playing, awesome!"
Shalun and Sanfeng were also applauding. Sanfeng said: "This guy keeps talking, doesn't he habitually ask for monthly tickets?"
Shalun laughed and shook her head, "That's impossible to say!"
On the stage, Sun Quan waited for the laughter and applause from the audience to subside, and then plucked up the courage to continue speaking: "So, thank you to Qidian, TV, and my book fans..."
Before he finished speaking, many people in the audience started laughing.
On the stage, Mr. Sun, who was talking about trains and TV, hadn't reacted yet. He was a little confused and wanted to get off the stage quickly.
