Sun Quan woke up at around nine o'clock the next morning.
By the way, since he got married, he rarely sleeps until so late in the morning and wakes up so late in the morning. Today is an exception.
It was an exception. When he woke up, he took the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at the time. He found that it was almost half past nine, but he was not surprised.
He actually slept no later than usual last night, but he had insomnia for at least two or three hours.
I was lying on the bed, hugging my wife, but my brain was very clear, and I didn't feel sleepy at all. I let go of my wife, tossed and turned, and changed several positions, but still couldn't fall asleep.
The brain is always in a highly active state, and many memories from past and present lives flash through the mind, some of which are happy, and many of which are unhappy.
For example, he was happy when he received the manuscript fee for the first time in his previous life. He still remembered that the manuscript fee was actually not much, only about a hundred yuan, but that was in the early 2000s, and more than a hundred yuan was already more than his father earned from working as a coolie for a month.
He remembered that he had withdrawn the manuscript fee from an ATM in school. At that time, he was reluctant to withdraw all of it. The first time he only withdrew 300.
Holding those three hundred-dollar bills, he felt the pride of making money for the first time.
Compared to other alumni in the school who were still relying on their parents to support themselves, he suddenly felt confident.
…
He has many similar memories, and he is a man with stories.
It’s just that his story is a bit cruel. Other people’s lives may only have ups and downs two or three times in a lifetime. Those who are lucky may not even have a downturn in their lifetime.
But his grandson's life is always ups and downs, like the undulating sea surface, and like a child's seesaw.
After making money during college, Mr. Sun began to think that he was talented, and that he was mediocre because he was not recognized for his talent.
And the Internet, a brand new field, gave him a stage to display his talents.
Ever since he received royalties every month, his life seemed to have suddenly changed, as if he had suddenly become unlucky.
After the counselor of his class heard that he made money by writing, every time he looked at him, there was an appreciative smile in his eyes. He also became quite kind to his occasional writing in class and even acquiesced.
classmates……
The dozens of classmates in the class, regardless of whether they looked friendly or not, had become much friendlier towards him, Sun Quan, at least when they were in front of Sun Quan, their attitude was friendly.
Picking up girls...
He just used 20 to 30% of his strength, and his move to pick up girls was successful, and Wu Jing became his most popular girl.
only……
He never expected at the time that what he embarked on was not a broad road, but a dead end filled with bumps and thorns.
He is not as talented as he thinks he is. His works are always sparse, and he can only occasionally write a work that can make a little money.
He himself gritted his teeth and persevered, but the ex-girlfriends he dated successively could not persevere and were unwilling to persevere.
No matter how sweet and inseparable we were when we were passionately in love, when he fell in love with us, we made the choice with our feet.
Or she quickly packed her luggage and moved it while he was out shopping for groceries; or she not only moved her own luggage but also emptied his wallet while he was sleeping; she also packed her luggage with tears on her face and a sad look on her face.
Yes, at that time, Sun Quan, an innocent guy, thought that since she was crying so hard, she would not leave as long as he sincerely tried to save her.
It turns out that he really doesn't understand women.
The ex-girlfriend was obviously crying so hard that when he tried to keep her, she reluctantly threw herself into his arms and even had sex with him.
However, after sleeping with him, she quietly packed her things and left.
…
There were too many memories from the past. Sun Quan had trouble sleeping in the middle of the night last night, and all those bad things flashed through his mind.
Recalling those things, he felt mixed emotions.
These words are quite vulgar, but they were his true state of mind last night.
It is certain that the recent new book "Sword of Killing Gods in the Clouds" has not been published, because when he left the studio last night, the highest number of subscribers for a single chapter of this new book was already 262.
It was put on the shelf at 12 noon, and at 11:30 midnight, there were more than a thousand first orders. This data has exceeded the 24-hour first order data of his previous book "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
Therefore, his new book is definitely not a hit.
The only suspense left now is whether its 24-hour first order data can break through the 10,000 mark?
According to Sun Quan’s experience, in the early morning hours, the growth in first-order data is very small.
Moreover, in the morning after dawn, there will not be many people online.
Therefore, on his way home last night, he was still not completely sure whether the first order of this book could exceed 10,000.
At this time, when he woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.
Thinking about the 24-hour first order data for the new book, he was silent for a while, then got up, dressed, and went to the ground.
He washed and had breakfast. Because it was already late, after dinner, he did not go out for a walk with his wife and children as usual.
After saying goodbye to the mother and daughter, Sun Quan set off for the studio.
"Good morning, boss!"
"Boss, are you here?"
"Hey, boss! How much have you ordered for your new book?"
…
When he walked into the studio door, several people took the initiative to say hello to Sun Quan in the office area downstairs.
One is Li Lixi, one is Xu Qin, and the other is Pan Yun.
As for the others who were introverted and shy, they just smiled and nodded.
"It's late. It's past ten o'clock. It's still early to be a thief. Haha, the first order of a new book? I just got up and came over after breakfast. I haven't read it yet!"
Sun Quan strode towards the stairs while replying to their words with a smile.
The steps are quite brisk.
In other words, his studio has achieved some results in copyright sales and has now also opened up new profit points.
And this new profit point is the two simple outlines Sun Quan gave Hu Cong before.
Those two simple outlines, under the guidance of Sun Quan and carefully improved by Hu Cong, had already been handed over to Pan Yun and Li Lixi to write.
One of the two has a decent writing style, and the other has a hand speed worthy of being single for more than 20 years. On the premise of having a clear outline and detailed outline, although the quality of the manuscripts written is not high, but if it is sent to the starting point, it will make some money.
The royalties are still no problem.
Well, as full-time shooters contracted by Xianyu Studio, Pan Yun and Li Lixi did not have the right to authorize the two books when they were published.
Sun Quan used his father's and mother's ID cards to register two pen names at Qidian, which were used to publish the two books respectively.
He had no involvement in the daily updates, and Pan Yun and Li Lixi were not qualified to handle them. They were all handled by Sun Quan's assistant Dong Xiaoyu.
In fact, Fu Lei suggested to Sun Quan that these two books do not need to be published on Qidian. They can be used to get a buyout contract with other websites. That way there will be stable royalties, which may be more than what they can earn from publishing on Qidian.
After Sun Quan considered it, he rejected it.
He wanted to see what kind of data the two new books produced using his model would produce when published at the starting point.
It can also be regarded as a test of the quality of the two books he produced using this model.
He thought: If the quality of these two books is good, then his studio can continue to recruit a few more street writers.
Hu Cong, who is good at writing outlines, has long been positioned as someone who specializes in outline writing in his studio.
Recently, he handed over a simple outline to Hu Cong.
Hu Cong is also working hard to perfect the outline.
The good news is that the book "Carry a Divine Spring with You", which Pan Yun is responsible for writing the main text, has received more than 100 first-order orders after it was put on the shelves of Qidian a few days ago.
With recent updates, the average number of subscriptions to this book's chapters has increased to more than 1,500.
It's a pity that Pan Yun's hand speed is average, and he can usually only code two chapters a day, totaling 6,000 words.
But even so, the royalties generated by this book have exceeded his salary by a large margin, which can be regarded as creating profits for the studio.
As for "The King of Perspective", which Li Lixi is responsible for writing the main text, it is true that his writing style is not as good as Pan Yun, but maybe readers these days have a preference for the word "perspective" and are also very fond of the various beauties that appear in the book.
No resistance.
Therefore, the first order number of "King of Perspective" written by Li Lixi, whose writing style is obviously inferior to Pan Yun's, after it was put on the shelves, was several hundred higher than that of "Carry a Divine Spring with You" written by Pan Yun.
The number of first-time reservations within 24 hours was as high as over 1,200.
After this period of updating, the average number of subscriptions for the chapters of this book has also increased. However, because Li Lixi’s hand speed is nearly twice as fast as Pan Yun’s, the high-speed updating, without the support of writing, has reduced the average number of chapters of this book.
The order increase is slightly lower.
As far as Sun Quan knows, the current average subscription for "King of Perspective" is just over 1,700.
However, the income this book created for the studio far exceeded that of Pan Yun's book "Carry a Divine Spring with You", which was almost double the gap.
Sun Quan was not Zhou Bapi. Fu Lei applied to him to give Li Lixi an extra 1,000 yuan in bonuses every month, and he agreed without much hesitation.
If you want your horse to run fast, you must be willing to feed it grass.
Sun Quan still understands this truth.
…
Return to your office.
Sun Quan turned on his computer, logged into the author's backend, and checked the current first order data for "The Sword of the Gods in the Cloud".
It was just after half past ten in the morning.
The subscription data in the background was quickly displayed in front of him. The highest subscription for a single chapter was already five digits, starting with the word "1".
In fact, not only the maximum subscription for a single chapter is already five figures, but the number of subscribers for the 10 paid chapters presented to Sun Quan is already five figures.
It’s just that the first chapter of the paid chapters has the highest data, which is currently 1063.
The data for the other nine chapters gradually decreases. Chapter 10, which has the smallest number of subscribers, has a data of 10,496.
At this time, Sun Quan suddenly thought of the bet between Dayu and him. If he remembered correctly, Dayu seemed to bet on his initial subscription of 12,000, while he himself bet on 11,000.
The two parties agreed that whoever bets on the final 24-hour first order data most recently will win.
