But even if there are 11,000 thoughts in mind, the cliff-like sales volume is enough to explain everything.
Lu Li couldn't help but look at Xiao Bailian who topped the new book list. Even though the new book list was not on the same list as her bestseller list, she could already see the future.
Looking at this pen name at this moment, Lu Li felt deeply disgusted.
really!
She and Xiao Bailian will never get along.
When the magazine serialized it, the other party insisted on it, making her novel look like a clumsy companion piece.
Now that the online series is being serialized, the other party has to keep up! She just released a new book, and her sales dropped off a cliff...
He endured it again and again, watching the other party publish a new book with only 10,000 words, and wanted to click to read it. However, the mouse arrow was left there for a long time, but he could not press the button.
Finally, she snorted disdainfully and clicked "x".
What’s so interesting? She’s very knowledgeable, and her writing can’t be worse than anyone else’s!
…
However, I repeated these words of encouragement to myself ten thousand times in my heart, but the data in the background still remained unchanged.
Lu Li's face was green and white, and she was staring at the nearly 80,000 words of manuscripts in her manuscript box——
To change or not to change, that is the question.
If we don’t change it, will the data get worse in the future?
According to the current income, let alone 30,000 a month, it would be good to get 10,000. After all, if you lose the first place on the list, you will also lose the bonus.
But if I want to change it, the next 80,000 words of my plot will all revolve around being slapped in the face by the Nobel Prize...
If so, wouldn’t everything be invalidated?
She has to update at least 20,000 words every day to retain these readers. If the manuscript is saved, it will be invalid...
Lu Li couldn't help but her eyes darkened.
…
However, escaping cannot solve any problems.
Lu Li did not hesitate for long.
In fact, it has been more than forty-eight hours since her war-inducing chapter was updated, and it has been more than twenty hours since her new chapter was updated.
Logically speaking, she should update today's new chapter at this time.
But looking at such a cliff-like sales volume, how can new chapters be updated?
But I wrote everything.
Even if you want to change it, you have to make sure to update it...
And readers are probably just paying lip service to it.
A new chapter has been updated. Wouldn’t it be heartbreaking not to read it? It is very likely that they will come back and subscribe tomorrow.
With this idea of luck, she quickly released the chapter. However, in the next hour, the sales volume dropped significantly compared to the past, which was unacceptable.
And the most terrifying thing is that someone has already typed up her chapter on the website forum, causing other authors to be unanimously surprised.
…
One website, eight programmers, and outstanding talents from top universities. To maintain the web page, of course it is impossible to fish in water every day.
The biggest achievement is that the screenshots and pirated copies automatically captured are all garbled.
Although it is basically invalid after 24 hours, it also greatly shows the attitude towards piracy.
But the real meaning is actually of little effect.
Because there are only a handful of automatically crawled web pages at the moment, most post bars rely on screenshots.
And the most important thing is that today's readers are really powerful when they are enthusiastic. They don't think it is piracy. They even love the author and type these articles word by word and publish them in the forum post.
, the discussion below is even more lively than the official comment area.
Not seeking profit, not bothering, just because of love and want to share.
In the process of typing by hand, typos can be corrected and sometimes the typesetting can be sorted out.
It can be considered quite characteristic of the times.
…
And the more enthusiastic the readers are, the bigger the waves will be if the boat capsizes.
Although they didn't spend any money, they actually spoke quite confidently at this moment:
[For this kind of novel, luckily I didn’t spend any money.]
Reputation plummeted.
The entire book's rating dropped from 8.5 to 6.5 and then below 5 in one day.
A large number of readers who watch hand-made games specially come to this website to register an account, spend a lot of money and then rate it. It can be said that they are full of hatred.
After all, Lu Li's novels are not to Ding Wei's liking, but there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's hearts, and some readers like to read such simple, direct and exciting novels.
As the characters struggle, they struggle, and as they entangle, they also become excited as the relationship between the male and female protagonists progresses.
Not all of these readers may have spent money, but their passion for squatting in the forum post bar every day to watch hand-made games is no less than that of genuine readers.
Because this plot was so outrageous, it even went viral and was reposted in major forums, attracting everyone to watch.
The logo of the little flame, followed by one post after another.
Lu Li's novels became completely famous.
And some people who have never read novels but have relatives and friends who read online novels suddenly see this kind of weird plot and can't help but poke them:
[You actually like to read this kind of book...Tsk, tsk, tsk.]
Reality and the Internet are intertwined, and various complex emotions flood into their hearts, making them no longer bothered and even willing to spend money to score low.
…
Wang Qinghe looked at the data converted in the background and didn't know whether to be happy or depressed at the moment.
In one day, there were nearly a thousand new registered readers on the website, which was comparable to the small advertisements he had been running on the website for several days.
This "Dream of Tears and Butterfly Shang" is a talent!
Just looking at this data makes ruthless capitalists happy.
Because half of these newly registered readers chose to recharge for consumption——
Probably because the amount of gift coins was too small to meet the scoring standards for serialized books.
Good guy.
This author has potential and must be well cultivated.
There is also popularity that can be promoted, and traffic can be converted in, which can also drive consumption——
Not bad……
At this moment, Editor Su knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Wang, if I officially join the job, the specific benefits will be..."
Wang Qinghe was stunned.
"Editor Su, your job at the publishing house..."
…
Editor Su smiled, a little embarrassed:
"I'm going to apply for a sick leave or something like that in my work unit, and I'll work here every day from now on."
That is of course very welcome.
Wang Qinghe first stretched out his hand:
"If the copyright editor works full-time, the administrative department has specific salary standards. You can ask directly. I believe our treatment will never let you down."
Editor Su also smiled, his expression full of longing.
"Yes, I also think reading novels on this mobile phone is quite promising."
…
Editor Su has been considering this decision for several months.
At first, Mr. Wang always mentioned it, but he actually didn’t think about it at all.
After all, it is the thinking of the older generation. No matter how good the conditions outside are, how can we have a stable job like his that guarantees harvests despite droughts and floods?
At first, he was not optimistic about this kind of online literature, and felt that it would be more enjoyable to read the book physically.
In fact, it is true that he still feels that reading on his mobile phone is not as comfortable as holding a book.
But ever since he felt the charm of watching it anytime, anywhere, he couldn't stop.
Going to the toilet, squeezing the bus, queuing up at the roast duck restaurant downstairs... you can read it at any time without bringing an extra book.
Even if you are traveling far away to visit relatives, you can take out your phone and continue reading conveniently.
Apart from a bit slow loading, the themes are rich and diverse, so in all seriousness, apart from spending a little money, there are no other problems.
But doesn’t it cost money to read magazines and buy novels?
A book is discounted for 20 yuan in a bookstore, and it only costs 300,000 words. According to today’s online writing standards, how many yuan does it cost to read online?
If you don’t plan to collect it, it’s really good to look at it this way.
…
From this point of view, online literature does have advantages.
But this only changed his view on online literature. What really made him decide to resign was the increasingly heavy workload.
As the development of the website becomes more and more vigorous, more and more publishers have had the intention to publish before and have tasted the benefits.
However, the process from the intention to the final signing of a book, including the subsequent follow-up of copyright fees, is a long and complicated process.
Just communicating with the legal department takes a lot of time.
In the beginning, with only two or three books on hand every month, Editor Su could still finish the work part-time when signing contracts.
But now, more than ten books of interest are submitted every month, and the copyright is subdivided into various categories. Even if only two or three books can be signed in the end, the workload is very different.
Coupled with the two copyright editors now, he is fully responsible for male novels, and the workload is even greater.
If he has to take care of the work at the magazine, he will be completely unable to perform at this end.
…
After all, the most valuable personal connections in your hands cannot be given away so easily and expected to be shared by others.
Editor Su received a five-digit salary, and after two months, he finally agreed with his family that he would start working at Dream Weaver Literature Online.
The salary of a part-time job is seven to eight times higher than that of a full-time job. What else can he not strive for?
You are only forty or fifty years old, and you can definitely ask God for another five hundred years!
Besides, if you are looking for connections in your work unit, please ask someone to apply for an early retirement, sick leave or something, so that you will not have no salary in the future.
There is still retirement pay, but it is less than normal.
For those that are less, he can make enough of a year's price difference in one month.
Editor Su can now say this to Wang Qinghe, which proves that the matter is already a done deal.
…
Of course Wang Qinghe was happy.
Talents are rare, and they would rather lack them than overwhelm them. Since it is no longer the early days of establishment, they will still be particular about controlling the quality of online articles once they are on the right track.
As a result, the requirements for both authors and staff have increased.
Now that the scale of the website is here, the number of chief editors has expanded to four.
Among them, Editors Su and Guomu are both working part-time in copyright operations and promotion, and the other two are website editors, responsible for managing contract editors, contract editors, and various matters of communication with authors, etc.
The division of labor is clear, so far everything is running smoothly, and normal vacations have not been affected at all, which is good.
But if the editor responsible for copyright operations is willing to do it full-time, the efficiency of copyright promotion will be greatly increased, and the reputation of their website will be established faster.
The two copyright editors are both from the same company. Now that Editor Su’s income has soared, the other editor doesn’t believe he can sit still!
Wang Qinghe raised the corners of his mouth, feeling filled with contentment.
…
At this time, Editor Su continued enthusiastically:
"By the way, Mr. Wang, the animation script of your novel has been completed. The TV station is asking you if you want to go over and take a look?"
Wang Qinghe:......
I don’t know why, but I subconsciously remembered a piece of background music——
"The big windmill is whirring and squeaking..."
My mood dropped instantly.
He wrote such a huge book, but he still has no shame to show it off to his family!
Children's literature, why children's literature?
This is obviously a fantasy story in which the protagonist struggles domineeringly and struggles in another world!
…
Editor Su didn't feel Mr. Wang's resentment at all.
His excitement doesn't even stop at this:
"Also, Changhe Publishing House, which previously had the highest bid, has now taken a fancy to two novels on our website, "The Way of Poetry" and "Yuan Qinghua"."
"The price offered by the other party is quite sincere. It is currently the highest copyright fee for our website."
"But I think these two books have considerable potential, and they have a hint of cultural promotion. They may also be developed into TV production in the future."
"So it is not recommended to sign a buyout contract. Even copyrights can be subdivided by years and content. Specific copyright classifications such as publishing, film, television, animation and games are determined based on our internal potential contracts."
"Do you have any different ideas? If not, I will make a clear note on my intention to sign the contract."
"We will also make it clear to the editor here and let him get in touch."
…
Wang Qinghe felt even more sad inside.
wrong.
Sweet and sour.
The sad thing is that there are so many novels on the entire website, why should this one be adapted into a children's animation?
The sweet thing is——
As expected of me??*(?o?╰?╯?o??)
This website is doing very well now, isn’t it all due to my own ability?!
No, a measly two million annual salary will definitely not be able to retain talents like myself.
If you work for another two years, you must ask clearly, how much equity will the company give you? Will it be increased?
After all, he endured the humiliation and adapted his masterpiece into children's literature.
Not adding it is not enough to heal the scars in your heart.
…
The editor will communicate with the author as soon as possible about the publication intention of each book.
Lao Wang opened QQ and received such a message.
[How many words will your book finish? Do you have any intention to publish it? Are you willing to entrust a company to run it? 】
Since the copyright sale of a website can also be done privately by the author himself, these questions are generally asked clearly before any intention is made.
As for Lao Wang, his first reaction was -
Let’s see how you, Old Wu, will continue to tremble in the future?
My book is about to be published!
Hahahahaha!
…
And at the same time.
Jiang Yuannian, also known as Lao Wu, also received such a message.
【...Do you have any intention to publish?】
【Are you willing to entrust a company to operate it? 】
Lao Wu:!!!
Cover your chest, can this be published?!
Take two antihypertensive pills first——
Hahahaha, you old Wang, let’s see how you behave in front of me in the future!
