After reading the posts in the book review section, Sun hummed a tune and logged into his author backend. Today is November 1st. As usual, Qidian will announce the amount of royalties each author received last month.
Sun Quan has long passed the stage of relying on love to generate electricity. Now the driving force that motivates him to write every day is royalties!
It’s so vulgar, it’s so pure!
Perhaps deep down he still likes to write and weave dream-like stories with his own words. However, if the royalties could not satisfy him, perhaps he would have stopped writing long ago.
Because he has a wife and children to raise.
Moreover, if he had not written novels, he would have managed the company himself, or used the advantages of rebirth to open a catering company, and he would have made a lot of money.
Therefore, the manuscript fee cannot be less!
Soon, he found out the amount of his royalties for October.
The total amount shocked him so much that he subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong because his royalties for October had unexpectedly increased explosively.
He still remembered that his total royalties from Qidian in September were only over 70,000.
Because his daughter was born in September, his updates that month were very poor, and even the editor-in-chief Haiyu didn't arrange any good recommendation positions for him. It happened that during that time, the male protagonist of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" was reincarnated into a dog, and the plot
Falling into a trough.
The combination of several reasons caused his royalties to drop significantly in September. The sluggish state of "The Immortal Dragon Ring" even affected the sales of his already completed book "My Decathlon".
But at this time, he saw that the total royalties for October were as high as more than 164,000.
It almost jumped by 100,000.
For a moment, Sun Quan subconsciously wondered if he had received the half-year award this month?
Because according to his experience, only in the month when the half-year bonus is issued, his manuscript fees will increase explosively.
But then I thought about it, that’s not right!
It’s November now, and the half-year bonus will not be distributed until January!
So, here comes the question...why did the manuscript fees increase so much in October?
Could it be that the calculation of the starting point is wrong?
If the numbers can be so wrong, this accountant should just fold up and get out, right? Such an accountant is already very tolerant, right?
With doubts, Sun Quan looked at the details of the royalties for October. The first was the royalties for "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon". The plot of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" in October was getting better and better, and the story of the dog was gradually accepted by everyone. Regarding that paragraph
The reputation of the plot has gradually turned for the better.
In addition, in October, the editor-in-chief Haiyu arranged for him to recommend a six-channel cover on the homepage, which was pretty good, so Sun Quan saw that the royalties for "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" were more than 70,000 in October.
As for the royalties for "My Decathlon", it is estimated that the royalties for "Immortal Dragon Ring" have also benefited from the success of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon". The number of royalties in October has also increased, reaching more than 20,000.
Seeing this, Sun Quan's eyes became even more confused.
The total royalties for "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" and "My Decathlon" didn't exceed 100,000, so how come my total royalties for October were more than 160,000?
Could it be that Qidian’s accountant made a miscalculation?
Soon, he found the reason. He suddenly noticed that there were amazing numbers in the mobile reading base displayed by his two books.
The royalties from the "Undying Dragon Ring" mobile reading base are more than 40,000.
The manuscript fee for the "My Decathlon" mobile reading base is more than 20,000.
The two pieces add up to almost 70,000 yuan.
And the mobile reading base...
Sun Quan naturally knew where this mobile reading base was, which was the mobile library that had previously signed a cooperation agreement with Qidian.
A website that claims that we do not produce novels, we are just word carriers.
In the past few months, Sun Quan would also glance at the amount of manuscript fees sent to him by the mobile reading base, but the number shown each time was not much. At first it was only a few hundred yuan, then one or two thousand, and last month he had two books
The total royalties received from the mobile reading base for the book are less than 8,000 yuan.
He really didn't expect that this month would explode. The total royalties received from the two books on the mobile reading base were almost 70,000 yuan.
Are you trying to scare me with money?
If this is your goal, then congratulations, you successfully achieved it.
Mr. Sun stared blankly at the two sets of royalties figures, with various thoughts running through his mind. He knew that the mobile library would make a lot of money in the next few years.
Even Qidian and other great writers have seen their net worth increase significantly. Of course, Qidian will also make a lot of money.
But the biggest winner is the mobile library after all.
After all, in this feast, the mobile library alone accounted for 60% of the profits.
The author and starting point of the code word can only get 20%.
Even so, the monthly manuscript fees that many authors receive from Mobile Library are still more than the manuscript fees from Qidian.com.
The starting point is very powerful and quickly cultivates a giant opponent for oneself.
Sun Quan's intuition told him that the more than 160,000 yuan he received in October was just the beginning. He believed that as the mobile library has more and more readers, his monthly manuscript fees will probably become higher and higher.
Simply put, he is going to get rich.
After thinking for a while, he logged into the author forum. He expected that in today's author forum, many authors would mention their manuscript fees for October.
He wanted to know whether the explosive growth in royalties for mobile reading bases was a common phenomenon.
If so, then he can be sure that his royalties will not be small every month in the future.
"Holy shit, my mobile phone fee this month is more than 3,000?"
"Big Mobile is so powerful, channels are indeed king! My royalties have doubled this month!"
"Does anyone know where China Mobile receives manuscripts? I want to go there directly to distribute the book, but the current share ratio is too confusing..."
As soon as Sun Quan came to the Wen Jianghu section of the author forum, he saw several similar post titles one after another.
He casually clicked on a few posts and glanced at them, and determined that his royalties had exploded this month. This was not an isolated case. The mobile library had indeed exploded.
After thinking about it, he logged into QQ again. He estimated that some colleagues on QQ would ask him about his royalties for October.
Sure enough, as soon as he logged in to QQ, he heard the beeps of Didi message notifications non-stop.
He clicked the flashing QQ avatar repeatedly with his mouse, and after a while, more than a dozen dialog boxes appeared on his computer screen, almost all of which were private messages sent to him by his peers.
One of them was sent by Dayu.
Dayu: "Show me a screenshot of your royalties! Let me see how much royalties you paid for moving that piece."
One message came from Tomato, "How much was your royalties from Mobile last month?"
There was another message from Shalun, "Old Sun, how many times did your royalties for moving the piece last month increase?"
…
Sun Quan looked at these similar questions and already guessed that the royalties of these guys should have increased a lot. He couldn't hold back his excitement and wanted to compare with his peers!
Sun Quan didn't hesitate and handed them screenshots of his royalties one by one. Every time he sent a screenshot, he copied a sentence and sent it to them - "Where are your screenshots?"
Afterwards, his QQ became busy.
Seven or eight online authors sent him private messages one after another. One said: "Damn, you have so many?"
Some people directly send screenshots of their royalties, such as Dayu.
In comparison, Dayu Mobile's royalties are a little less. If you add one yuan for new and old books, it will be more than 30,000 yuan.
But this number is no longer small. You must know that the previous Qidian authors did not have this amount of royalties. This is equivalent to extra money for everyone.
The hard work and efforts everyone has put in have not increased, but the royalties have increased so significantly. Who wouldn’t like this money?
The royalties for Tomato's Moving were much higher than Sun Quan's because there were more works under the pen name Tomato. Adding up several books, his royalties for Moving were as high as over 120,000.
For the authors of Qidian, today is a day of collective carnival.
I don’t know how many authors have had their royalties doubled, tripled, or even more.
In the author group, Sun Quan has seen more than once an author shouting that he wants to go to the big health care.
Listen!
As we all know, most of the authors of online articles are honest and obedient homebodies who can often stay in their houses for half a month or even longer.
Can these nerds be stimulated to the point that they want to go to big health care? Can a small amount of money be enough to stimulate success?
Mr. Sun has no intention of going to major health care.
But under such stimulation, he had no intention of coding that morning.
I always feel like there is a deer bumping around in my heart, making me dizzy and unable to calm down.
He sat in the study for a long time, unable to find the way to code. Finally, he simply turned off the computer, hummed a tune with a smile, and walked out of the study with his hands behind his back.
He heard Yuan Shuiqing talking to his mother in the hall downstairs, so he went straight downstairs.
Maybe it was because his expression when he came downstairs was too rude, but he quickly attracted the sideways glances of Yuan Shuiqing and his mother Xu Mei on the other side of the sofa.
Even his little princess...the big devil Xinxin turned to look at him, blinking her cute big eyes.
"Did something good happen to you? Did you find money in the study?"
Xu Mei asked him funny.
Yuan Shuiqing had a smile in her eyes, waiting for him to speak.
"You won't believe it when I tell you. I actually found money in the study room, and it was quite a lot! Hehe."
Mr. Sun walked over with a smile on his face. As he spoke, he took the devil in his heart from his mother's arms and gave the devil a happy sip on his little face.
"Real or false? How much? One hundred?"
Yuan Shuiqing asked curiously, thinking that he had dropped the money in the study at some time and had just been lucky enough to pick it up.
"Hmm, a hundred? Then multiply it by dozens of hundred!"
Sun Quan said, smacking the devil Xinxin's face again, and said happily: "Xinxin! Do you know that you are rich? Your favorite dad has helped you earn tens of thousands more, aren't you happy?
hey-hey."
"Tens of thousands?" Xu Mei was a little confused.
Even Yuan Shuiqing was surprised. She frowned and asked him, "Did you sell any copyrights again? Didn't you pay dividends this time? Did you give you cash directly?"
