If Lu Xudong and Shi Kejian oppose his plan, Du Caige even plans to pay out of his own pocket and set up his own website to carry out this series of essay collection activities.

But fortunately, Shi Kejian still gave him face as a major shareholder (Shi Kejian: Who am I giving face, don't you have a beep in your heart?), and readily agreed to his plan.

Readers paid close attention to Du Caige's unofficial manifesto on the essay call.

And peers have said that the founding Chinese network is crazy.

In the past, in the essay competitions of major literary websites, the prize money for the first prize never exceeded 100,000 yuan.

The founding Chinese Network raised this standard by 10 times at once.

This is to exterminate many small and medium-sized websites!

And powerful peers are also denouncing this behavior of the founding Chinese network, believing that the founding Chinese network is a vicious competition, which will make the entire industry pay for the crazy creation of the Chinese network, and even destroy the entire online literature industry.

On the other hand, readers and authors are enthusiastic, and many confident authors even plan to finish the book and the eunuch himself to impact this essay contest with all his might.

The entry "Million Essays" even went on the hot search, making a circle, and the whole network is discussing whether the million-level essay prize is too high.

Many netizens are even worried that if future essays are all this kind of bonus standard, the founding Chinese Network will not go bankrupt.

If the founding Chinese Network is a listed company, maybe this time the stock price will be affected and there will be large fluctuations.

Is the million-dollar prize high?

In fact, Du Caige gave Shi Kejian an account for them.

Actually, first of all, the wool comes out of the sheep.

As long as there are enough authors participating in the competition, their works are subscribed and rewarded by readers, and the resulting share is enough to create Chinese.com to issue essay bonuses.

What's more, once one or two good scripts are discovered and successful movies are made, the box office and peripheral income brought by it are calculated in units of "100 million", and the founding Chinese Network can also get a certain amount of dividends.

So, authors may feel that they have earned it.

Du Caige, Lu Xudong, and Shi Kejian looked at each other and smiled.

You may earn, but we will never lose.

After the end of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Du Caige only needs to continue to keep the update of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake".

For the time being, he can take it a little easier.

This time he learned his lesson and won't open a new book right away.

Even he has plans to temporarily block the keyboard.

After all, his original purpose as an online porter was to earn his first pot of gold.

And now the first pot of gold has arrived.

In the field of online literature, there doesn't seem to be much worth pursuing.

However, the pen name "Hemingway" was finally raised, and it was a pity to give up like this.

So he had tea with Lu Xudong and Shi Kejian and chatted about this issue.

Eventually, he made a plan: two months later, he would begin to release the first book of the Flood Stream, tentatively titled "The Flood Wilderness: The Legend of the Great Sage".

Such a title is more in line with the characteristics of online literature in this era.

The title of the book with the prefix "I" has not yet emerged.

The main content is the story of a modern young man who traveled to the era of the flood wilderness, became an ordinary little monkey, cultivated hard to become the great sage of the demon clan, experienced many difficulties, constantly fought monsters and upgraded, got various opportunities, harvested various treasures, and finally became the story of the top combat power of the flood wilderness.

The basic setting of this book is naturally based on the framework of "Buddha is the Way", which integrates the plots, bridges and character settings of many torrents that Du Caige has seen.

But Du Caige is only responsible for writing the first 100,000 words, as well as writing the outline and setting.

The follow-up will be given to the gunman to write for him.

By the time this book "The Great Sage" is updated to more than one million words, Du Caige has almost slowly made out a general framework of infinite flow, and then he will bring infinite flow to this world.

Of course, he is still only responsible for writing the first 100,000 words, the outline, and the setting.

Next, if the author of the online article of Azure Star has not created the system flow on a whim, Du Caige plans to bring the system flow again.

I'll talk about that later.

He can't really be in the field of online literature all the time.

There are so many sub-genres of online literature, and he can't always be allowed to create it alone, he always has to leave some soup and water for others.

Now he no longer cares about the false names of "the ancestor of the national art stream" and "the ancestor of the tomb robbing stream".

These fame no longer mean anything to him.

And when it comes to handling...... There are so many classics that can be carried, and many of them are what he plans to make into movies in the future.

For example, small wrecking ball, three-body problem, hyperion, etc.

If you're not afraid of death, you can also try to carry a song of ice and fire.

It's just that when he crossed over, he didn't see the whole book of A Song of Ice and Fire, and Uncle George Martin's update was too Buddhist.

And with his literary literacy, it is not enough to complete this classic.

As for the end of the TV series version...... If he really dares to put this ending on, it is estimated that he will be killed by angry readers.

So if he carries a song of ice and fire, it is doomed.

For the sake of your own safety, let's take a long-term view.

All things considered, he struggled in the field of networking until 2009 at most.

In the future, if he still has spare time to carry it, he will definitely take the physical publishing field as the main battlefield.

Carry it yourself, adapt it into a script, and then make it into a movie by yourself, creating an IP closed loop.

It's not a beauty yet.

The biggest difference with the handling of online articles is not that it is forced to be high...... It's the small number of words.

And it doesn't have to be updated quickly.

Even if you write a volume in 5 years, readers dare not speak out.

Like George Martin, what reader would dare to scold him?

In fact, not daring to scold him is just a basic operation.

There are at least 10 million people in the world who will pray that he will live a long life, can you believe it?

There is a sign-in post almost every day, wishing the old man to live to be 100 years old without illness and disaster, and finish writing the song of ice and fire.

It's magical.

Du Caige said that this was very much to his appetite.

If you're in a good mood, you can carry a roll, and if you're in a bad mood, you can drop it directly, and you don't care about it for three or four years.

There are too many things worth doing in life, and moving is only one of them, so you can't delay him too much time and consume too much energy.

After straightening out the affairs on the Internet, Du Caige originally planned to meet with Fan Youqiao and have a good chat about the topic of "WeChat".

But Duan Xiaochen told him that the company was going to have a meeting and there were very important things to discuss.

Du Caige had to deal with the company's side first.

On this day, Duan Xiaochen drove to the community to pick him up and go to the company together.

"How are you getting along with your family when you go home this time?" Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Du Caige squinted.

"That's it. Duan Xiaochen sighed softly, obviously not wanting to mention it again.
