Clicking on some private messages I just received, chat boxes popped up one after another.
So handsome Wen Hao: "How many subscriptions do you have? Take a screenshot and show it to me!"
This is Sun Quan's old book fan, and he is also one of the administrators of one of his book fan groups. He has always been very supportive of him, so when he saw this private message, Sun Quan didn't say anything and directly dumped the screenshot of the subscription data that had just come out to him.
.
Little Zhefu: "You haven't said how much monthly tickets you need to add an extra chapter this time. Don't tell me that you forgot. Hurry up! Announce the conditions for adding an extra chapter."
Don't dare!
With a smile on his face, Sun answered the two words in his mind. After thinking for a while, he typed the reply: "I will announce it tomorrow! Don't worry!"
Tomorrow, the number of monthly votes on the first day of release will be available. Based on everyone's enthusiasm for voting, he can estimate the approximate number of monthly votes to add a new chapter, which is more appropriate.
Dayu: "Has the subscription exploded? Give me a screenshot!"
Seeing this private message, Sun Quan thought for a while and refreshed the author's backend page again. It had been 18 minutes since the chapter was released.
The subscription data has increased from more than 3,800 to more than 4,700.
In just 5 minutes, it increased by about 900.
Awesome!
Sun Quan was a little touched that book fans supported him so strongly, and he casually handed the screenshot of this set of data to Dayu.
As soon as the screenshot was passed, the handsome Wen Hao replied, "Oh, it's a high-quality product so quickly? Haha, congratulations! It seems that the first order of this book exceeds 10,000, it should be stable, not bad! That's great! Hehe."
The handsome Wen Hao is always happy for his Sun Quan's success. He still has some such die-hard book fans. Although the number is not very large, he is very happy every time he chats with them or thinks of them. Every time
When he opens a new book, if there is anyone he is most afraid of disappointing, it is undoubtedly these die-hard book fans.
Because he knows that they are the most tolerant to him. If one day he disappoints these most tolerant people with his new book, then he must have really failed.
"Thank you! Thank you for your continued support."
Sun Quan replied like this.
The reply from the handsome Wen Hao was: "Hey, are you so polite to me? Just write your book well. I said I will always support you, so I will definitely always support you! Hehe."
I am really happy to have such a book lover.
Sun Quan didn't know how to reply for a while, because all the words of thanks seemed so pale at this moment.
Dayu: "Damn! It's almost 5,000 so soon? Are you a pervert? Or are you cheating?"
Seeing Dayu's reply, Sun Quan could picture Dayu's shocked expression through the computer.
So, he laughed.
I feel very happy.
Of course, it was not that he liked Dayu for calling him a pervert, but because of Dayu's shocked attitude, which showed that this result shocked Dayu.
"Whatever you think, as long as you are happy."
This was his reply to Dayu.
Dayu sent a look of contempt.
Then he sent another sentence: "You are really perverted! You are going to break the record at the starting point! What a great comparison! With such a good result, do you want to try to compete for the monthly vote list this month? It will be ranked first on the shelf.
If you get the first place in the overall list in just a month, that should be great, right? Do you want to do it?"
Compete for the top spot in the monthly ticket rankings in the first month after being released?
Sun Quan narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little moved.
He is not a person who likes to be high-profile, but that's just as a person. In terms of work, he has never been afraid of being high-profile. Otherwise, why would he have been writing online articles for more than ten years before he was reborn? Regardless of whether he was in trouble or not.
Don’t you want to hold back a big trick, write a popular book, make more money, completely change your life and destiny, and make others envy your life?
Deep down, everyone longs for approval from others.
No matter whether you say you don't care about other people's opinions, in fact you do.
It's just that some people turn against others' cynicism and fight back on the spot, while others take those people's cynicism into their hearts and turn it into their own motivation to work hard, striving to slap the other person in the face with facts one day.
And his grandson is obviously the latter type of person.
He likes to slap people in the face with facts and argue with each other, but he has no interest or disdain.
"How about it? Do you want to do it or not?"
Dayu sent another private message to ask further questions.
"Dry!"
Sun Quan threw such a word and passed by. After a few seconds, Dayu said: "Haha, like a man! Not bad! You have to say it loudly, don't hide it, I support you mentally! Come on!"
In front of the computer, Sun Quan smiled.
Support me mentally?
"Okay! I will support you in the same way next time."
After saying this, Sun Quan sent another smiling emoticon.
…
While chatting with Dayu, he took care of all the other private messages. If he was familiar with them, he would reply with a few more sentences. If he was not familiar with them, he would reply as concisely as possible.
Because he wanted to hurry up and finish these private messages, and then hang out in several book fan groups.
This is also his habit.
Whenever a new book is released, show up in the group and chat with everyone about it.
Some people may think that this habit of his is to persuade book fans to subscribe.
The fact is that it does make some sense.
But that's not all.
Every time a new book is released, he goes to the group chat. In fact, he does not directly ask everyone to subscribe and support. He just joins the group to announce that his new book is officially on the shelves today.
Those who are willing to support will naturally support it, and he will not force it on those who don't like his new book.
He understands that people who liked his last book may not like his new one.
Sometimes it's a matter of the new book's subject matter, sometimes it's just that he doesn't like the male protagonist of his new book, or some other reason.
Before writing novels, Sun Quan was also an out-and-out book lover. At that time, when he was reading books and came across a work that he liked very much, he would also look for other works by that author to try.
Reading, many of them he couldn't stand.
Therefore, he does not force book fans who have previously liked his works to like or support his new book.
Seeing this, some people may ask - what is the use of keeping such a book fan? Why do you still stay in the book fan group?
The answer is simple!
Maybe the next book, or the next book, or maybe a certain book ten years later, those book fans will like it again.
He, Sun Quan, writes novels, not just to get a few votes and then leave.
For him, this is a career, a career that evolved from a dream.
And since it is a career, it is long-term, even lifelong.
So why should you care if fans like your current book?
As long as the other person is still willing to stay in your book fan group, they may still have expectations for you and your future works. Compared with those casual readers who are completely indifferent to you, these book fans who still have expectations for you
, isn’t it worth cherishing?
Before his rebirth, Sun Quan had met many different kinds of book fans during the more than ten years he spent in the online literary world.
Some people liked his works so much that they voted, subscribed, and gave rewards, sparing no effort, but maybe it was because they liked him so much for a while that they had high expectations for him. Later, in his chapters during a certain period of time
When the plot is a bit bland, book fans will be disappointed and abandon it.
Some book fans exist outside his world. During the time he serialized a certain book, they never appeared in his book review area or fan group, and they never even voted or subscribed to one, but in n years
Later, he suddenly appeared on the fan list of one of his new books, and as soon as he appeared, he received a larger amount of rewards than most book fans.
Occasionally, such a book fan will join his book fan group, and then send him a private message to tell him: I liked your book "****" very much and left a deep impression on me, but I was still a student at the time.
I have no money to support you, and I feel guilty all the time. I finally found you today. I didn’t expect you to still be writing novels. I didn’t mention that the subscriptions I owed you back then have been repaid to you today. Come on! I will continue to support you in the future!
"
As a street nerd, he has met many such book lovers.
I encounter several almost every year.
Some works that he thought were poorly written were actually remembered by some book fans for many years, and even felt that they owed him a subscription.
Of course, during those years when he was on the street, he met many kinds of book lovers, not just the two above.
For example, there are some book fans who are his peers and also code writers. They first lurked in his group of book fans, until one day they suddenly told him that they also wrote novels.
Among these people, some simply wanted to exchange writing experiences with him and make friends with him, while others wanted to ask him for chapter recommendations or something like that.
There are also female book lovers.
He has met female book lovers who confessed their love to him, and he has also met female book fans who are also female writers and want to have a spiritual relationship with him.
etc.
The past is like smoke, and many related memories have gradually faded in Sun Quan's mind.
But although the memory has faded, some insights from that year still remain in my heart.
One of my insights is to treat every book fan as my friend, treat them with sincerity, and try my best to spend every memorable moment in my career with everyone.
And every time a new book hits the shelves, there is no doubt that it is a memorable moment in his career.
He is used to appearing in front of his book fans at this moment, even if they are separated by computers and mobile phones, at least at that moment, he is with everyone, allowing as many book fans as possible to witness the achievements of each of his new books.
No matter whether the results are good or bad, he is willing to witness them with everyone.
He also believes that everyone is willing to witness such a moment with him.
He feels that it is very similar to love, family affection, and friendship.
In love, if both genders are different, how can feelings come about?
Sun Quan, who has experienced several ex-girlfriends, believes that love arises from every memorable moment in each other's lives.
On each other's birthdays; when each other is working or successful or frustrated; when each other is lonely and needs comfort...etc., if that person is by your side every time, love will easily arise.
On the contrary, no matter how deep the relationship is, no matter how much you love the person, as time passes, the past relationship will dissipate in the wind.
Family affection and friendship, he feels the same.
If each other is absent from every important moment in each other's lives, how much family and friendship can continue to exist?
With this mentality, Sun Quan copied the web link of "The Last Wish of the Dead" and sent it one by one to several of his book fan groups.
When the link was sent to the group, there was a message attached: "The new book is on the shelves, everyone is welcome!"
After this sentence, there was a smiley emoticon attached shamelessly.
Then the atmosphere in several groups quickly became lively, regardless of whether it was in a lively state before.
Book fan A: "You said luck is a blessing? Can you dance? The kind of stripping! If you can't dance like that, only a ghost would be interested in blessing you!"
Book fan B: "Yes! Not only must you be able to dance, but you must also be able to sing! The kind that touches you eighteen times! Hehe."
Book Fan C: "Huh? You've published a new book again? Why didn't you tell me earlier that it's already on the shelves?"
have to!
I guess this is a guy who hasn't read any novels on Qidian recently.
Book fan Ding: "The prostitute has been paid, tell me! Which hotel?"
…
In front of the computer, Sun Quan couldn't stop laughing when he saw these inappropriate comments in the group.
Then he spoke happily and talked nonsense with these shameless guys.
What a joke! Compared with shamelessness, who has he been afraid of in this life?
So, it should be obvious why guys like him in the book fan group are so crooked, right?
As the old saying goes: Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.
That’s probably the reason!
What kind of author will attract what kind of book fans.
In several book fan groups, people asked him to report the subscription data of new books from time to time. Sun Quan fulfilled everyone's wishes every time and did not hide it.
Showing off is certainly out of the question.
If you want to show off your achievements, you must be with your peers or someone else. Only then will it be meaningful to show off.
Who would show off their achievements to their book fans?
Isn’t that a flaw in your brain?
All the grades are given by book fans!
He is sharing, letting everyone share his achievements and his happiness.
If you really like his book, he believes that everyone will be happy for him when they see that his book has done well, and they may even feel a little proud.
Sun Quan had experienced this kind of mentality and feeling many times before.
He will be very happy if his favorite works achieve good results, win honors, or are adapted into movies, TV series, etc.
For example, he was very fond of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", such as "Xun Qin Ji", "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and so on.
And the reaction of the people in the crowd was exactly as he expected.
Hu Yuye came: "Wow, almost 6,000 orders have been placed so quickly. It's so abnormal!"
Pig intestines: "Abnormal!"
Wuzhanghai Gourd: "It's really perverted! I've never seen such a perverted first order of a new book!"
In front of the computer.
Sun Quan: "..."
At this moment, his smile was a bit hard to describe. Dayu had scolded him as a pervert before, and now so many people in the group also scolded him as a pervert.
He felt that the vocabulary of these guys was too limited. Can't they think of other words to praise me? Can you come up with something fresh?
