I am very happy to tell you that tomorrow, October 1st, National Day, "The Technician of the Tang Dynasty" will be on the shelves!
I purposely wrote such a single chapter, to put it straight to the point, just to get a good result. After more than two months of hard work, it depends on tomorrow's results, and this result naturally refers to the subscription data and monthly tickets.
I wrote this single chapter not only to attract votes for "The Technician of the Tang Dynasty", but also to have a heart-to-heart talk with everyone who reads this book.
Let’s talk about subscription first.
I can share with you my thoughts on supporting genuine reading and my personal experience.
I was born in the 1990s, and my family conditions are very average. Compared with my classmates, the environment in which I grew up was below average. This also meant that I didn’t have much pocket money. I still remember the wealthy people at that time.
My classmates were wearing Nike and Adidas, while I was wearing clothes from the 'small commodity' stall. But strangely enough, I wasn't actually very envious.
At that time, Walkmans and cassettes were popular. Many of the readers reading this book may have never seen a cassette. I can honestly say that most of the cassettes I listened to were pirated. The reason is simple, I didn’t
I had money to buy the genuine version, but I still wanted to listen to music, so I bought pirated cassettes and used headphones worth ten yuan. Like my rich classmates, I listened to "Orcs" and "Love in B.C."
.
At that time, there was no concept of genuine music, and I was even complacent. You see, I spent very little money to listen to the music just like you.
But then one time I went to a classmate's house and saw his genuine cassette, which made me feel the difference. The pirated cassettes I listened to were the kind of 'platter', with this one and that one, put together from several albums.
The lyrics book is just a piece of paper, full of typos. The genuine cassette, the lyrics book is a thick stack, as well as posters and signature cards. This makes me understand that piracy is piracy, genuine is genuine, and genuine means better
The quality and service are just because I don’t have money, so I can’t enjoy them.
At the same time, that day, I saw his collection. It was something called a 'jersey card', a card with a piece of jersey inside. According to my classmate, this piece of jersey was worn by Kobe.
Yes, I cut it and made a jersey card. There are only 99 pieces in the world, which is very rare.
I asked how much it was, and he told me, 200. 200. Friends, do you know what 200 means at that age? It means that you can eat lunches for one and a half months, buy 20 pairs of headphones, 40 boxes of pirated cassettes, and the entire grade.
Basketball, but he just bought such a 'jersey card'. I really can't understand it. It's okay if you buy a jersey, it can be worn anyway, but you buy a jersey card, is it just for the smell?
What makes me even more confused is that he also took out another one that was exactly the same and told me in a disdainful tone, "Look, this one is a pirated copy. Although it looks the same, it is a pirated copy and is not qualified to be in my collection."
In the book.
At that time, I couldn't understand it. Because I was very poor, I thought he was wasting it. Later, with computers and mobile phones, everyone read novels, and I also read pirated versions together, and I didn't feel any guilt at all.
This situation lasted until after graduation, when I entered the society and started making money on my own.
Society is a big melting pot, so powerful that it can crush people's three views and refining them. Mine has also been refining them in the past few years.
First of all, one thing I learned is that you must respect the fruits of other people's labor. The reason is very simple and straightforward, because I have experienced the feeling of not being respected for the fruits of my labor. When your efforts and hard work are ignored or even occupied by others, , but you yourself are powerless and can only accept it. I believe no one will like this feeling. There is a saying that says, don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. I thought about it, and the fruits of my labor are different from those of musicians. Music is the same, they all want to be respected. But I didn't respect them back then. I was even complacent about taking advantage of myself, which was wrong. Therefore, after I understood this truth, I tried my best to I can’t control others who use legitimate channels and support the creation of content. At least in my case, I respect the fruits of their labor.
Also, now I can understand that my classmate spent 200 yuan to buy a jersey card. Because he told me last year that his jersey card is now worth more than 20,000 yuan. Of course, this is all off topic. What I want to say is how good it feels to be able to spend money on things you like. This seemingly simple thing is actually not something everyone can do. When you were a teenager, you might You can't feel it, but when you reach my age, you will understand that this is a kind of happiness.
In this society, everyone may have some complaints to some extent. But it is undeniable that society is making progress. I remember when I was a teenager, everyone was talking about the post-90s generation. Now, everyone is talking about the 00s. But in my opinion, today's young people are actually better than the previous generation in many things. Take the genuine issue as an example, at least when I was a teenager, there were more pirated copies than genuine ones. There are many, and most people are not ashamed of genuine products. But now the teenage post-00s, they are more willing to support genuine products and spend money on the things they like. In this regard, we "old people" born in the 90s, In fact, we need to learn from young people.
I once thought about this question, why are the new generation of young people more willing to spend money on genuine products?
I thought of two answers. The first one may be related to money. When I was a teenager, there were very few children with money, but many children without money. Even if they had the intention, they were powerless. But people nowadays, Children are richer than before, and we, who are no longer children, are also making money. Reading a book costs only five cents per thousand words at most. Anyone who can afford a mobile phone to read novels or a computer to read novels, If you have to say that you can't afford the five cents...then I won't argue with you, just make you happy.
The second answer, I guess, is the sense of participation. I spent money to read your book, and I am your official reader. I am qualified to evaluate this book, and I can also express my thoughts. Modern society is becoming more and more You are getting more and more lonely, and the friends around you may not be that close. But in novels, maybe a plot can resonate with you, and they think it is worth spending a little money on it.
I think this is very good, and it shows that awareness has increased. Of course, I also know that people who hold such ideas are only part of them. There are also some people who think exactly the opposite.
For example, some people just don’t want to respect the fruits of other people’s work. When they walk on the street, they have to find a clean place to spit. If you expect them to subscribe to the original version, isn’t that a joke?
There are also some people who have a twisted mentality and kill teammates when playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Not only do they watch pirated copies, but they also make comments and scold you. If you expect them to subscribe to the official version, isn't that a joke?
What's more, he is also a type of person I discovered recently. He is an online article author himself, but no one reads his books, so when he sees books with a little bit of success, he picks the bones and tries to use them. The bones he picked out should make readers of this book probably think that I am just trying to get off the street, so don't think about it...such a person is actually a bit pitiful.
The first two types of people, I will ignore you. The latter type of people, I advise you, if you can spend more time on your own books, you will not go to other people's book review sections to curse others.
As an author, what I want to say is that starting from tomorrow, I will treat readers of this book differently.
To me, whether you subscribe or not actually differentiates between 'you' and 'us'. You are naturally the ones who don't subscribe and watch pirated copies, while we, my real readers, have been with us all the way to this day. .
You can say that I take money too seriously, but I’m sorry, but I reject this label. I didn’t go to grab money from your pocket. I wrote the book and devoted my energy and energy to it. It was free for two and a half months and 360,000 words were published. I I think it is worth a subscription. Moreover, I believe that the readers who have been with me all the way to this day and have voted for recommendation every day and read it every day have the same feelings for this book as me. This book is like me raising it with them. For grown-up children, it’s only five cents for a thousand words, so it’s impossible for them not to subscribe. And those who say I like this book, I support this book, but they are too lazy to top up or have other reasons cannot subscribe. , you are very hypocritical. In 2018, an era when square dancing ladies are using WeChat to impress people, if you say that you can’t recharge Qidian coins, who do you think will believe it?
There are also some people who left messages and made childish threats to me, such as if... I will abandon the book; author, if you take..., I will reward you; author, I am a girl and I can't read many female protagonists. ...and so on and so on. What I want to say is, give up, I have never been threatened. I can't change my outline for you alone, and you should not try to teach me how to write a book. I'm facing The right thing is to serve thousands of readers, not just for you. If you particularly want to read a book that completely suits your needs. It is very simple. Join the Qidian author family, and the Qidian history editing team welcomes you. s arrival.
At the same time, I would like to say something to the readers who emphasize that they are leaving, or emphasize their gender. You don’t need to tell them about your departure. Your departure will have no impact on anyone, and it will not affect me and 'us' even a little bit. And since I am a Authors of historical novels without emotions, I will not coax you because of your gender. And what I especially can’t understand is that you girls are so obsessed with "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "Story of Yanxi Palace" , Longlong Big Pig Hoof shouts affectionately every day, and you all don’t dislike the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard. When it comes to my novel, you can’t read it if it doesn’t have a single heroine... Let me say something?
Finally, I want to say something about the bottom line that I have always adhered to when watching piracy. This bottom line is that I did not spend any money and I will not comment because I feel that I am not a consumer and am not qualified. But this is just a suggestion. Tomorrow
After that, people who do not subscribe can still express your opinions. However, I do not guarantee that you will not be banned. Because starting from tomorrow, as the author of this book, I will only be responsible to 'us'. If you comment on the book
If you argue with my subscribers, you will be banned. You can feel it is unfair, but you will still be banned. If you and my subscribers ask the same question in the book review area at the same time, I will reply to the subscription
Reader, I will not reply to you, because my time is precious and I am only patient with 'us'. If you, like my subscribed readers, say something that particularly touches my heart, I'm sorry, but I will still be banned.
You, because I can’t vent my sullen mood, I’m so panicked. I can’t vent to my own people, so I’m going to vent to you!
That's right, very unreasonable... Who told you not to subscribe?
About updates.
The updated version after release will be 3,000 words per chapter.
When VIP chapters can be uploaded in the early morning, I will upload 5 chapters to fulfill the promised release burst. Then I will go to bed, wake up, look at the results of the first order, and then start adding updates.
Subscription for additional updates: 500 first subscriptions will add one update, and there is no upper limit. There is a guarantee for depositing manuscripts, and here is the confidence. After tomorrow, one additional update will be added for every 200 additional subscriptions. It is valid for a long time, and there is no upper limit.
Tips for additional updates: It will be released tomorrow. I hope that my friends who have accompanied me all the way to this point can reward me. No matter how much, even if it is only one yuan, it will increase the popularity on the day it is released. In terms of additional updates,
The leader directly adds a chapter, and I can see the rewards from non-leaders in the background. When the accumulated income exceeds the income of one VIP chapter, one chapter will be added. In other words, every reward you make
Money is accumulating, and when enough is enough, more updates will be added, instead of just adding more updates according to the one-time reward. For example, assuming that a VIP chapter can earn 100 yuan based on the average subscription data, then
If you accumulate 100 yuan in reward income, there will be an additional chapter. It is also valid for a long time, and there is no cap. Silver alliances and so on are not included. I think it is not enough to have a silver alliance.
Monthly ticket addition: If this book has the opportunity to compete for the new book monthly ticket list, I will launch different monthly ticket addition plans according to different situations. You can just pay attention to the individual chapters.
The update time after the launch remains unchanged, is still 7:30 and 17:30, two chapters a day. This is a basic update. The so-called additional updates refer to chapters other than the updates of these two chapters. To add chapters, I
It will be marked with parentheses after the chapter name. The leader's name will be written when the leader adds updates. "Rewards plus updates" will be written when the reward is accumulated. Extra updates with monthly tickets will be "xxx monthly tickets will add updates". It is clear at a glance. If there is only one on the day
If an update is added to one chapter, the update time will be before and after zero o'clock. If more chapters are added, the update time will be between 20 o'clock and zero o'clock.
There is still a long way to go, and I hope to be with you all the time. Happy National Day and have a good rest!
