Three years' time, in today's rapidly developing era, it is still unknown whether a new magazine can last three years.
Not to mention 10 million words, which can last a generation...
But if you only serialize a part, how do you sign a contract? How do you plan the writer's subsequent works? These are very troublesome...
For magazines that are more efficient, they may appreciate it but not use it.
Bu Ming figured out how to write this part by himself. He only knew that his ability was affirmed, but he never expected that it would be so difficult to publish...
He looked obviously depressed.
Ding Wei thought for a moment and didn't say anything else first. She just helped him plan everything:
"First of all, I never thought that your article would be so large. I think... if you were asked to reduce the article, you would definitely not be willing to do it, right?"
Bu Ming shook his head: "No, I have set up every chapter carefully, and I can't omit anything."
Ding Wei nodded: "In that case, I think there is no need to consider serialization in the magazine."
In fact, the monthly serialization volume of "Floating World" is already staggering.
Normally, the volume of serialization in a magazine would only be 10,000 to 20,000 words.
"...and you have such a long story, 200,000 words can already be enough for the first book. I suggest you write tens of thousands more words, set the story at the first high point, and then take it to the publishing house.
Let’s see if they are willing to sign a contract for publishing.”
But for books like this, especially for newcomers, the price given in the early stage is not expected to be too high... It is even possible that the contract will be for traditional Chinese copyright, and they will follow the route of Wanwan Publishing House, and then develop in the mainland.
Let Ding Wei really talk about it, this "Legend of a Thousand Stars" has routines and patterns. The writing style is actually not very outstanding, but the writing is very smooth and it is easy to arouse people's emotions...
In comparison, it is more like those popular Internet articles.
etc……
Ding Wei picked up her phone and searched, and found a few books that were popular in her impression——
For example, works such as "Blowing Out the Lamp", "Tomb of the Gods", and "Angel Law" have not yet been published.
She showed Bu Ming the page she had difficulty accessing on her phone:
"Actually, you can also consider taking the online route."
"In the early stage, hundreds of thousands of words will be released for free to readers. When a certain number of words is reached, charges will start, about two to three cents per thousand words..."
"But to put it bluntly, there are not many people who are willing to spend money on online articles now, and it is very likely that their income is not enough to match this work..."
But correspondingly, the value of currency is also higher.
…
She told Bu Ming all her analysis, and Bu Ming stared at the page displayed on her phone: "When you talk about online literature, do you mean this website?"
Ding Wei shook her head:
"Including but not limited to this website, but this website should be more suitable for your style and has good prospects..."
She sighed secretly——
It's a pity that my website hasn't finished testing yet, and I haven't started promoting it now. Signing someone over will simply suppress his shine, otherwise... what a best-selling author!
Heartache.
…
Although Bu Ming doesn't talk much and is shy, he is extremely sensitive to people's emotions.
He looked at Ding Wei at this moment: "Do you have any other suggestions to tell me?"
