The starting point in 2010 is different from the two years before Sun Quan was reborn, very different!
Two years before his rebirth, or even earlier, the platinum masters at the starting point had no interest in competing for major rankings.
At that time, only the newly promoted great gods would work hard to compete for the rankings to prove their strength and at the same time to stabilize their godhood.
The veteran platinum masters have become quite Buddhist-like when it comes to competing for the monthly vote list.
Regarding this, many colleagues and readers were puzzled at first. What happened to the top masters? These guys used to compete the most vigorously for the rankings! How come they all suddenly seem to be indifferent to the world?
Later, Gui Wu appeared and explained to everyone: They, the authors who have proven their strength, are like the players in the game who jumped out of the novice village.
Competing for rankings at the starting point is a game for players in Novice Village. Authors who have jumped out of Novice Village do not need to compete for monthly voting lists or anything like that.
Firstly, it's very hard, and secondly... even if you win the competition, the monthly monthly vote ranking champion will only get a bonus of 10,000 yuan. For a master who has jumped out of the novice village, that bonus is already drizzle, and there is nothing to worry about.
So you have to spend a little money to compete for the rankings.
Although the above is not Gui Wu's original words, the general meaning of his original words is this.
And the facts seem to verify Gui Wu's words.
Although the top gods no longer compete for the starting point list all year round, this does not affect the fact that every time they release a new book, film and television rights or game adaptation rights, they can sell them for a sky-high price.
A small one can be sold for millions, and a high one can easily sell for tens of millions or tens of millions.
Then, when other authors in the circle heard the news, they felt admiration, not to mention envy, jealousy and hatred.
And the new masters are always competing for the monthly vote list for one or two years. After proving their strength, they all give up the fight for the list. It seems that as long as they give up the fight for the list, it is equivalent to jumping out of the novice village.
Back then, Sun Quan was also a member of the envious, jealous and hateful team.
Moreover, I still feel a little frustrated.
It turns out... I have been in this industry for so many years, and in the eyes of some people, I haven't even left the novice village yet. Am I still a rookie?
In the few years after Gui Wu said those words, the situation in the Internet literary circle was indeed like that. The great masters opened new books and were no longer obsessed with competing for the list. If they could easily win, they would just take it. Otherwise, let others
The author's new book is on top of their new book, and they are not angry.
But those who sell copyrights, and those who sell copyrights at high prices, are still the great masters like them.
As time slowly faded away from the influence of these great gods, it seemed that there was gradually something wrong with the divinity of these great gods. When they opened new books, the previous scene of gatherings of book fans gradually disappeared.
Some of them have new books hitting the streets one after another.
Compared to their previous results, it was definitely a knockout.
On the other hand, although after opening the new book, the data is still very explosive from the scene, but when experienced authors and readers look at these data, they can clearly feel that these seemingly explosive data are actually explosive.
The shape is already very unnatural.
That unnatural shape is familiar to everyone. It contains moisture! A lot of moisture!
It's just that... buyers who buy the rights to adapt web movies and TV games and game adaptations don't seem to be able to tell whether a book's various data are meaningful or not.
They are still willing to pay high prices to buy various copyrights of great gods.
But on Qidian, a professional novel website, the competitiveness of the works of great masters is indeed getting weaker and weaker. Maybe they didn’t want to compete for the list before, but then gradually, they wanted to compete, but it seemed that it was difficult to win.
.
Only a handful of veteran masters can still guarantee the quality of their works, and even make progress.
It was probably from this time that Qidian began to consciously create new great gods one after another, and various recommendation positions and publicity resources were greatly tilted towards some new great gods and middle gods.
Then, more and more people pounced on the old masters who had lost their advantages in recommendation positions and publicity resources after opening new books.
It was also from that time that Sun Quan once again felt the fairness of this industry.
Whoever works hard will make progress, whoever slacks off will regress, and great gods are no exception.
Once upon a time, he looked up to the group of popular and enterprising masters at Qidian, but also felt powerless at the same time, because the strength of those masters was not only superior to his, but the website also had a large tilt in recommendation resources. This group of
The existence of the great god is like a ceiling that blocks not only his head, Sun Quan, but also all the other authors who are just making a living at the starting point.
With such a ceiling, he, Sun Quan, like other authors, has almost no chance of getting ahead.
He didn't expect that the ceiling would start to collapse so quickly. It turned out that... after jumping out of Novice Village, he didn't seem to be that good...
Deep down, he and his grandson also have a dark psychology.
Although the old masters are beginning to lose their status one by one, and more and more masters are jumping on the street, the new masters who have rushed forward have never been as good as his grandson.
But he just felt a little refreshed.
He knew that he shouldn't have such a dark mentality, and it was wrong to look at other people's jokes.
But what should I do if he just feels a little happy?
Seeing that the master who he could only look up to in the past opened a new book, his performance was not as good as that of a veteran like him. Although he was not successful, he just felt a little satisfied.
He feels that this is how the world should be. As the old saying goes: A person is not as good as a thousand days, and a flower is not as good as a hundred days.
As the saying goes: after the peak, it’s downhill.
In this world, no one should always be at the top. Unless he has not yet reached his true peak, it is inevitable that he will go downhill, and no one should be an exception.
There should not be so many exceptions for great gods.
…
But at the starting point around 2010, the great writers were still very competitive, and they represented the strongest group of writers in the industry.
Especially the Platinum Master.
The platinum masters of this period are definitely boss-level existences. The most intimidating aspect of their existence is... if a platinum master opens a new book every month, other authors, especially the middle gods and minor gods who want to compete for the top of the new book list,
, usually subconsciously avoid opening new books at the same time.
Because if a platinum author publishes a new book within a month and ranks first on the new book list, basically no one else will have a problem.
On the other hand, those authors who think they don’t have the strength to top the new book list don’t feel that way and treat the Platinum Master as nothing. It’s not because they are bold, but because they know very well that even if they open a new book at the same time as the Platinum Master, it will have no impact on them anyway.
There is absolutely no overlap in the rankings on the list that everyone wants to compete for.
In the original time and space, veterans like Sun Quan even specifically looked for platinum masters to publish new books.
Because what he sees is: when the Platinum God opens a new book, there are relatively few other medium gods and minor gods opening new books. He occasionally gets lucky, and if the quality of the new book is good, there is still a chance to break into the top ten of the new book list.
Of course, that was all in the original time and space, before he was reborn.
Now he is also known as the Platinum God.
His fame and appeal among book fans also make many colleagues fear him.
Anyway, in the week since the release of his book "Dead Man's Last Wish", no famous author has released a new book.
This indirectly proves his strength.
Today, within one day after his book "The Last Wish" changed its contract status, book fans used their rewards to directly declare to the industry the strength and value of this platinum master.
In less than an hour, the fan list of "The Last Wish of the Dead" was like dumplings, with leaders being born one after another. Within this hour, everyone who refreshed the review area of "The Last Wish of the Dead", whether they were authors or readers, paid attention.
to a phenomenon.
——Almost every few minutes, one or two reward advertisements in bright red fonts will be refreshed, either offering a one-time reward of 50,000 starting coins, or a one-time reward of 100,000 starting coins.
Not long after, the homepage of the book review section of "The Last Wish of the Dead" was filled with red reward announcements.
In less than an hour, someone on the author's forum posted a post like this: "Damn it! There are 36 alliance leaders in "Dead Man's Last Wish"! This is too fast!"
Some people who didn't know the truth didn't ask about the specific situation when they saw this post. Instead, they immediately replied to this post.
"It's been a week since the publication of "The Last Wish of the Dead"? There are only 36 alliance leaders in such a long time. Why are you so surprised? What a fuss!"
There were quite a few people who made similar remarks, but soon someone was willing to kindly tell them the truth - although "The Last Wish of the Dead" was released a week ago, it was in a newly revised contract status. In other words, this book
The book has just opened the reward function.
Then, more and more melon-eating people discovered that this was really the case.
"Is this... so fierce? The fans of Xianyu, Lao Sun, are so awesome? It makes me drool with envy!"
"36 alliance leaders... No! Now there are 41 alliance leaders. How much money is this? I may not be able to earn such money even after working so hard to write a book."
"Is this the rhythm of a hundred alliances on the first day? No! Looking at this rhythm, it is estimated that there may be a hundred alliances tonight. In 24 hours, there won't be two hundred alliances, right?"
…
Colleagues noticed this phenomenon, and Sun Quan also noticed it not long after he refreshed the new book page.
When he casually refreshed the page of "The Last Wish of the Dead" and accidentally caught a glimpse of the large red reward notices in the book review area, he was stunned.
I was stunned for a while and then slowly came back to my senses.
This was a situation that only appeared in his dreams, but now he actually saw it in the review section of his new book.
yes!
With his current net worth, such reward money is nothing to him, but...
At that moment when he saw the book review section full of large reward announcements in bright red font, he felt a greater sense of accomplishment than when he learned that his company had made hundreds of millions of profits in a month.
