The "Ghost Blowing Lamp" readers forum, as a newly emerged reader exchange base in China with the largest traffic, is already the leader in the same field.
Even the "Xun Qin Ji" forum, which was once popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, is not as popular as today's "Ghost Blowing Lamp" readers' forum.
The news that the forum was suddenly renamed "Internet Literature Association" has gradually become known to many people through word of mouth among readers in the past two days.
The forum has divided many reading categories in detail, such as "fantasy", "supernatural adventure", "martial arts and fairy tales" and other categories. It immediately became a resort for many readers of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to browse continuously.
The "Supernatural Adventure" section is the most lively.
Because "Legend of Tomb Robbers" by the great author Feng Jiu is being serialized continuously every day, coupled with the continued writing by other fans of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", this section has accounted for more than half of the traffic of the entire forum, with an average of up to 100,000 visitors per day.
Thirty thousand people.
The second is "fantasy and fantasy".
Because it is ranked first and is a very conspicuous section, it became the first click target for many strangers when they opened the Internet Literature Association forum. However, due to the lack of actual useful content, this section once became the target of many netizens.
A place for chatting.
The traffic volume of the "Fantasy and Fantasy" section is almost the same as that of the "Martial Arts and Fairies" section.
Martial arts books have always been sought after by Chinese people. Many authors wrote stories for the first time, and they also used martial arts as the theme to write about the martial arts world in their hearts. Therefore, in the "Martial Arts Fairy" section, there are also many readers who have dreams of becoming writers.
The stories are published for netizens to read.
Not to mention, some of them have extremely high-quality authentic materials. Although the martial arts stories they wrote are not as popular as "The Legend of Tomb Robbers", they still have a large number of readers.
A week later, when many readers of the Internet Literature Association Forum were watching programs such as "I Am a Singer" and "The King of Masked Singer", they suddenly discovered that the words "Internet Literature Association Forum" appeared under the TV. This discovery made many readers
Readers were quite shocked.
You know, the price of advertising in a popular variety show like "I Am a Singer" is not affordable to ordinary people.
Even if it's just a series of subtitles that scroll frequently.
That night, as variety shows such as "I Am a Singer" ended, the number of visitors to the Internet Literature Association forum began to increase.
Soon, the number of visitors to the forum broke the online record, reaching 90,000, and the average number of people online reached 60,000!
If the server hadn't just been upgraded, I'm afraid the Network Association Forum would have been down immediately!
The next day, with the advertising effect of the variety show, the traffic of the Internet Literature Association forum continued to increase.
The visit traffic is only one step away from breaking through to 100,000 times.
At this time, many users who were chatting in the forum and turning pages to read suddenly heard a jingle ringing in their ears.
People subconsciously looked to the upper right corner of the screen and saw an email message flashing continuously.
When they clicked on the text message casually, many of them opened their eyes involuntarily...
"Dear forum users, hello, I am the editor-in-chief of the Internet Literature Association [Heart of Light]. I am wasting ten minutes of your time. Please read the following content carefully..."
"In order to develop China's original online literature, the Internet Literature Association will launch a writer signing system in the near future..."
…
"Ding dong!"
Feng Jiu had just logged in to the Internet Literature Association forum and was about to update "Legend of Tomb Robbers" in the serial thread when she heard a new email coming from the inbox in the upper right corner of the forum.
He was a little surprised, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and opened the mailbox casually.
After a while, his facial expression gradually stiffened, looking stunned.
After about ten minutes, after reading the entire email, Feng Jiu's eyes began to flicker.
After a long time, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and a touch of excitement appeared on his face: "This letter... is really of great significance!"
The content in the mailbox is definitely of great significance to Feng Jiu and the creators at this time.
Feng Jiu could even imagine that if everything described in the mailbox in front of her could be realized, then this letter would definitely have cross-epochal significance for the development of Chinese online literature!
The content of this email proposed a total of two plans.
The central idea expressed in the email is to help young people with literary dreams and provide them with creative funds to survive.
The first of these plans is the "Creation Guarantee Plan"!
The plan states that if the author is willing to publish a series of threads on the Internet Literature Association forum and update a certain number of words every day in accordance with the regulations, then each author will have the opportunity to receive a 100-yuan creative fund provided by the website every month.
One hundred yuan, although not as good as the welfare benefits of factory workers, is enough to support a dreaming author to write the story in his heart.
Of course, this is only the most basic creative guarantee.
In addition to the "Creation Guarantee Plan", the forum will also give priority to works with qualified works through special channels and contact publishing houses in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan for publication promotion.
At that time, the manuscript fees received by the website from the publisher will be divided and settled with the author in accordance with the provisions of the contract.
Although the content of this plan has some prestige, many authors did not take it seriously.
How difficult is the road to publishing?
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of the best in a million, let alone a publishing house in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan.
Even Tang Dynasty Publishing House, the largest publishing house today, dare not say that it can ensure that the works of its authors can 100% pass the review of publishing houses in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
If the website can successfully publish the author's works through its own channels, it will naturally be appropriate to give the website a certain share of the fees.
Here, the Internet Association Forum is roughly equivalent to the role of the author's agent.
Compared with the "Hong Kong, Mainland and Taiwan Publishing Plan", the "Creation Guarantee Plan" is obviously more attractive to the majority of low-level authors. You must know that in this era, one hundred dollars can still do a lot of things.
Soon, countless forum readers and authors who came after hearing the news began to discuss one of the issues in the forum.
Many authors who had already been creating and serializing were even more ecstatic, feeling that they had seen the dawn of fame!
In the next few days, people on the forum continued to receive text messages in the backend mailbox, prompting the authors to contact the website contract editor for contract customization.
Many authors who have successfully signed contracts will happily post in various sections of the forum to tell the world and share their joy.
And every post that is successfully signed will arouse envious replies from a group of readers and authors.
…
Feng Jiu has been feeling restless recently.
As a fat little man who loves literature, Fengjiu has published countless essays in literary clubs since college. After graduation, Fengjiu was assigned to work in a bank as a bank clerk. Every month, she only had to complete the tasks customized by the manager.
Tasks can barely be regarded as leisure time at work.
Under this situation, Feng Jiu had the idea of creating again.
In order to be able to create excellent works, Feng Jiu spent every day commuting, walking, eating, and sleeping imagining plots. Sometimes after getting on the bus, he didn't come back from his meditation until he arrived at the terminal, and then his face turned pale.
With an expression on his face, he habitually backed up the car again.
His careful creation finally earned him countless applause on the Internet.
His work "Legend of Tomb Robbers", which followed the trend of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", attracted tens of thousands of readers in the forum as soon as it was released.
Every day, more than 20,000 users are waiting for his updates on time.
It can be said that Feng Jiu is now the top author in the online literature industry.
Of course, this does not include Qinglian Sword Fairy, Yun Hua and other physical authors. Compared with these super masters who face hundreds of millions of readers in Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan, Feng Jiu is not qualified to compare.
In the past two days, he also noticed the author creation welfare plan released and implemented by the Internet Literature Association forum. Feng Jiu did not pay attention to the one hundred yuan provided in the creation guarantee plan. What he paid attention to was "
Publishing plan in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan."
Isn't the reason why he serialized "Legend of Tomb Robbers" in the Internet Literature Association just to attract the attention of Taiwanese publishing houses?
If a literati or a writer does not write down a book or print it out, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?
Therefore, when the "Publishing Plan for Hong Kong, Mainland and Taiwan" was released, Feng Jiu could be said to be the happiest among many authors.
Every day, Fengjiu would open her backend mailbox, hoping to receive an in-site signing text message from the website like other authors.
No matter how low the contract share ratio is, he will accept it.
All he wanted was to be able to publish his book in volume and fulfill his dream of being a writer.
However, as he waited and waited, he saw that other authors who were less well-read than him signed contracts with the website, and posted them openly to show off, but what about him?
Could it be that "Legend of Tomb Robbers", which has the most reads and replies on the forum, does not have other authors whose works are worth signing?
After get off work in the evening, after eating some food, Fengjiu sat in front of the computer, preparing to start writing a new chapter of "The Legend of Tomb Robbers".
However, no matter how brilliantly he wrote in the past, now, he cannot write a single word.
An irritable mood kept lingering in my chest.
After sitting in front of the computer and waiting for an hour, Feng Jiu sighed slightly. The mouse she held in her right hand couldn't help but click on the Internet Literature Association forum and the "Fantasy and Fantasy" category section.
Looking at the posts where authors proudly showed off their signed works, Feng Jiu felt extremely uncomfortable.
But what can he do?
As a newcomer in the author circle, Feng Jiu had little opportunity to contact publishing houses.
In fact, before uploading "Legend of Tomb Robbers" to the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" reader forum, Fengjiu had already submitted the 50,000-word text and opening outline to several well-known domestic publishing houses. Among them
Including Tang Dynasty Publishing House.
However, no matter how many publishing houses he applied to, the response from each publishing house was almost the same. The work promoted tomb robbing, involved relevant laws, and would not be published.
I wiped it!
Whenever she sees this kind of reply, Feng Jiu gets furious.
Isn't "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" promoting Tomb Robbers? Why is it my turn to treat "Tomb Robbers Legend" differently?
Under this situation, Feng Jiu finally had no choice but to upload "Legend of Tomb Robbers" to the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" reader forum. He wanted to see how bad his work was!
Unexpectedly, "Legend of Tomb Robbers" has become increasingly popular not long after it was uploaded.
In the end, it was a book that supported the traffic of a forum. While Fengjiu was overjoyed, she also began to hope that traditional Chinese publishing houses in Hong Kong and Taiwan would take a fancy to her work.
After all, in recent years, traditional Chinese publishing copyrights have been the source of income for many martial arts authors.
However, Feng Jiu was disappointed in the end. After waiting for nearly half a year, not to mention the successful publication, even the editors of the publishing houses in Hong Kong and Taiwan seemed to have ignored his existence.
What exactly went wrong?
Feng Jiu browsed the posts in the forum with a dazed look, watching countless readers quickly posting posts, calling for herself to update "Legend of Tomb Robbers". At that moment, Feng Jiu felt that all this seemed to be an illusion.
Just when he was sighing and about to turn off the computer and go to bed early, the familiar email ringtone rang.
Feng Jiu stiffened and subconsciously looked at the time display in the lower right corner of the computer, 22:54:04.
It's so late, why are there text messages on the site?
You know, in order to avoid being disturbed by readers, Fengjiu turned off the text message communication function.
In other words, only the site administrator can contact him.
After Fengjiu was stunned for a few seconds, she came to her senses and quickly opened her mailbox.
The subtitles displayed on the first line of the email address blatantly read: "Dear author Feng Jiu: Congratulations on getting an author agreement. Please get in touch with the editor of this site, Bright Heart, as soon as possible. Contact email:, Contact
qq:307686766!”
Um?
Um!
Feng Jiu opened her eyes wide and looked at the scrolling subtitles in the mailbox, and her eyes instantly became moist.
A feeling of excitement that "a great revenge has been avenged" continued to spread in his heart...
It is true that where there is a will, there is a way, and the Emperor and God will pay off!
finally……
Success!
Feng Jiu took a deep breath, took off her glasses, picked up the glasses cloth and wiped the wet fog on the mirror surface. While wiping, she shed tears, "Okay, you finally succeeded."
"I told you, you can do it..."
After being excited for a while, Feng Jiu soon felt that something was wrong.
He quickly collected his emotions, stared at the computer screen, and read again carefully, "Dear author Feng Jiu: Congratulations, you have obtained a signed author agreement. Please contact the editor of this site, Bright Heart, as soon as possible...
…“
Heart of light?
Heart of light!
It's him!
Feng Jiu stared at this name in disbelief. Who is the Heart of Light? In recent times, there is probably no one in the entire Internet Association forum who does not know the entire name.
Editor-in-Chief of Network Association Forum, Heart of Light!
The initiator of the "Creation Guarantee Plan" and the "Hong Kong, Mainland and Taiwan Publishing Plan"!
Many people think that this "Heart of Light" is the previous website's webmaster, "Master Broken Arm". However, various signs indicate that the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" forum has most likely been sold by "Master Broken Arm". Otherwise, he
Where do you get the funds to buy high-end servers? Where do you get the funds to receive manuscripts? Can you also help authors contact publishers in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Taiwan?
This is a big shot!
Feng Jiu's hands were shaking with excitement. After entering the wrong number several times in a row, he finally added the "Bright Heart" email address and Penguin account.
I originally thought I would wait until tomorrow for a reply, but unexpectedly, not long after I applied as a friend, there were two coughs in the QQ message.
