Chapter three hundred and seventy-six hit the street
The day after recording "Rising Star Show", Lu Chen returned to Jinling Film and Television City and returned to the intense filming process of "Full House".
Since this TV series involves multiple parties and the co-production parties are all very strong, the filming went very smoothly whether in Korea or in China. If there are no setbacks, it will definitely be able to meet the TV audience in the summer.
For Lu Chen, although he is busy with shooting work, his big IP project is equally important, so he spends a lot of time coding every day, and then insists on uploading it to Inspur Reading for publication.
It’s just that this new book with the pseudonym “Recalling the Past and Present” has not achieved very good results. Strictly speaking, it is a hit on the street!
Lu Chen started uploading the book on the evening of May 27th. As of June 5th, in a total of 10 days, he uploaded a total of 60,000 words of text content, and updated two chapters of 6,000 words a day.
In terms of the amount of updates, Lu Chen's new book fully meets the requirements for online writing. Generally speaking, the author does not update too much during the new book period, and only adds more words and content after it is put on the shelves.
Inspur Reading is one of the largest original websites in China. Since associated blogs are good for publicity, there are many authors stationed on the site, many of whom are great masters and have published several popular works that have become big IPs.
The website claims to have 10+ authors, but the real number is definitely not that many. Even so, the competition is extremely fierce, and it is very difficult for new authors to get ahead.
However, the website has a recommendation mechanism, and signed works will be given the opportunity to be recommended. As long as the quality of the book is not too bad, it is still possible to stand out.
The editors on the website will also pay attention to new books. If a new book has 10,000 to 20,000 words, the editor will read it. If it reaches 50,000 to 60,000 words, it will be reviewed again. If it meets the requirements, a contract signing letter will be sent to the author, and the formal contract signing process will begin.
Lu Chen's new book didn't receive any emails from the site when it was 20,000 to 30,000 words long. Now it's 60,000 words long and there's still no news. According to insiders, it was dropped by editor Paz. It has no future or hope if it's not in the eyes of the public.
.
During the time when Lu Chen was publishing on the Internet, he also opened a Feixun account and joined several new author groups. He gained a preliminary understanding of the Internet writing circle and learned many rules of Internet writing.
This made Lu Chen quite depressed.
His ambitious big IP plan had just begun, but he received a heavy blow.
Not to mention the extremely dismal click collection data, 49 of the 58 comments are from other authors advertising and recommending each other, or they are simply snake oil book reviews. There are only 9 comments from real readers, and most of them are from real readers.
It's a negative review.
"What a crappy book. It doesn't look interesting at all. I just left."
"The author's writing style is quite good, but unfortunately the plot is not attractive enough and the beginning is cruel to the protagonist."
"After reading a few chapters, I felt very bored and gave up."
"I suggest the author read more books by great masters and study hard!"
"I wipe"
Only one reader gave a positive review: "It's a very good novel. It feels like a traditional martial arts genre, right? There really aren't many people writing this kind of book nowadays. The author has an idea, please support him!"
This reader gave Lu Chen a reward of 100 reading coins for support.
"How much is 100 reading coins?"
Filia Chen asked curiously.
The singing queen was lying on the hotel bed, reading reviews of Lu Chen's new book on her laptop.
She has no interest in online literature. She has only watched a few film and television dramas adapted from popular novels before, so she has basically no understanding of online literature.
It was only after Lu Chen used his vest to open a book at Inspur that she became interested.
In fact, Filia Chen doesn't like the type of subject matter written by Lu Chen. The novels she likes are emotional ones, and she has no love for such things.
If it wasn't Lu Chen's new work, she wouldn't bother to pay attention!
"cough!"
Lu Chen coughed and explained: "It's equivalent to 1 yuan."
"1 yuan?"
Filia Chen's pretty eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face: "I thought it was 100 yuan. In other words, you spent so much time and wrote 60,000 words and earned 1 yuan?"
"Ahem!"
Lu Chen's cough became more serious: "Actually, according to the rules of the website, I can only get 5 cents."
"Hehehe~"
Filia Chen finally couldn't bear it anymore, patting the quilt and laughing so hard: "5 cents"
Just two days ago, she and Lu Chen gave a total of more than 10 million to fans.
Now Lu Chen worked hard and spent a lot of romantic time between the two of them, but he only earned 50 cents.
She wasn't mocking, she really couldn't help it!
While laughing, Filia Chen said: "Who told you not to use your own name, but to use a newcomer's vest? Are you experiencing the pain now? You deserve it!"
If Lu Chen opened a new book under his own name and casually posted a shout-out on his blog, he would be guaranteed to have countless fans come to support him in a steady stream, and rewards would rain down on him. It would definitely not be such a tragic situation.
Therefore, Filia Chen does not understand Lu Chen's behavior. In her opinion, Lu Chen's big IP plan is in the right direction, but why not use the popularity resources she has accumulated?
There are ready-made shortcuts, but she has to climb a cliff, so she has no sympathy at all!
In fact, the results of the new book were so disastrous that Lu Chen regretted it a bit and thought about re-publishing it under his own name.
But his original intention of starting a book with Rookie Vest was first to test whether the subject of martial arts could be liked by readers, rather than rely on fans to gain popularity and attention.
There is a big difference in this. If he can make the book famous by using the rookie vest, then the data will be real and reliable, then the martial arts big IP plan will really have great potential!
Furthermore, Lu Chen also wanted to keep a low profile.
As a result, the new book hit the streets.
He was stubborn and said: "Just do it. I have saved a lot of manuscripts. I have to finish writing this book. If it doesn't work, I will do it!"
This is the last choice, which feels a bit embarrassing!
Filia Chen said coquettishly: "Then when are you going to write? You haven't stayed with me well recently. You only focus on playing on the computer. Watch out if I kick you and find someone else!"
Lu Chen pounced and pinned her down, and said fiercely: "Stop dreaming, and never in your life do you want to take out the palm of my hand!"
Filia Chen immediately exclaimed: "Help!"
But her mouth was immediately blocked, and she could only moan "um um ah ah" from her nose.
The atmosphere in the room became extremely charming.
The laptop was thrown aside. Above the screen display area, the four large black characters "Swordsman" in official script were particularly eye-catching. ——
