Following.

Wang gradually sat at his desk, pondering for a long time.

I always feel that yesterday's self is a little different from usual.

Especially, after seeing Sarah.

At that moment, my consciousness seemed to split in half.

Half of them are the original owners, and the other half is their current self.

Wang gradually frowned and made a decision.

After getting Sarah out, give some compensation appropriately.

Then, try not to contact again.

After all, as a traverser, it always feels a little strange to be in constant contact with someone who has a close relationship with the original owner.

He took a sip of water, then looked at the front page.

I saw that on the homepage, except for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Arcane Throne", the titles and styles of other works have changed greatly.

It's no longer a "xx short story collection", "success studies" and the like.

It has become a style of "XX of Crossing" and "I am XX".

Click to view, the content in it is no longer in the style of publishing, and there are no deep and gorgeous short sentences.

Some are just simple and straightforward words, as well as brain-opening stories.

Wang gradually nodded with satisfaction.

That's right, that's what an online novel should look like.

Looking at the various data in the background of the website, the number of published works has increased significantly, and the number of readers has also increased steadily.

Even readers' messages have exploded to 10,000 a day.

Wang gradually glanced at it.

Although, most of the comments are scolding: "mentally retarded", "idiot" and so on.

But the data shows that the works that have been scolded the most are the ones with the largest number of followers.

The mouth is honest and honest.

Wang gradually smiled indifferently.

Judging from the current situation, a batch of works that have been "clicked" by editors will soon be charged.

When the time comes, you will know whether your "Little White Literary Author Training Program" will work.

If it works, then the "money hunger" of the website will also be greatly alleviated.

And he will officially change from a person who is given a royalty share to a person who gives someone someone else's royalty share.

Just as the king was thinking about a great future, Tom pushed the door in with a man.

"This is the person sent by Dark Horse Comics to send samples of the Arcane Throne comics. Tom gestured to the young man behind him.

And this young man respectfully handed a hand-drawn comic to Wang Yan.

Wang gradually flipped through it.

I feel that there is no big problem except that the painting style is a little uncomfortable.

But most of the European and American comics are in this style.

So, he put the comics aside and asked the young man, "What other comics will be released recently, besides the Arcane Throne comics?"

The young man obviously did his homework and replied without thinking: "In addition to the comic book that will be released every month, DC is currently taking advantage of the movie to launch a hardcover version of "Batman Forever" for $8. ”

Marvel launched a sequel to "X-Men" for $5. ”

"Five dollars—" Wang gradually tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.

EA and itself have signed a contract for the game rights to Arcane Throne and 50% of the comic book rights.

The $900,000 license fee will also be paid soon.

EA's request for a $1.5 subsidy per comic book was agreed, but the number of copies sold was not less than 50,000 copies.

Can "Arcane Throne" sell 50,000 copies under the classic comic book attack of DC and Marvel?

"Well, forget it. Wang gradually said to himself in Chinese: "You should make less money, and make small profits but quick turnover." ”

Tom asked, confused, "What did you say?"

"Nothing. Wang gradually shook his head and said to the young man, "Publish 50,000 copies first, and each book will cost $3. ”

"$3? It's not usually a low-quality comic, and a single book costs $4. The young man said with some confusion.

Wang gradually waved his hand, "In this matter, we have pricing power. ”

"If in doubt, ask your boss yourself. ”

The young man opened his mouth and said nothing more.

Then the king asked Tom to take the man out.

And he himself began to contact EA to inform him that the comic was about to be released.

In other words, play money!

As for asking EA to take a look at the quality of the comics, Wang gradually has not been invited.

However, EA said that it was not necessary.

As far as the small amount of money that comics can make is not enough for the monthly salary of their core game designers, they can't afford it at all.

EA only cares about sales, and influence.

In the end, under the mediation of Wang Gradual.

$75,000 was transferred from the website's account and went directly to the account of Dark Horse Comics.

And the comics of "Arcane Throne" will also start entering the printing house immediately, and will be officially released in three days.

Wang gradually calculated that he currently has 45% of the comic royalties.

If each comic makes $1.5, 50,000 copies is more than $30,000.

Alas, there really is no game company to give generous money.

However, there is a limit to what can be drawn in a single comic book.

3.3 million words, how can you release dozens of comics.

Well, dozens of $30,000 ... There is still a headset.

Wang gradually looked at the "Arcane Divine Seat" on the website, which was already more than 1 million words.

He tried to get the thought of "not wanting to code" out of his mind.

I said to myself in my heart: "Every time you hit a word, it's money!"

And at this moment, the editor-in-chief of the Candlewick Publishing House of the six major publishing houses is in the room.

The bald editor-in-chief was questioning a few statisticians.

"Lately, that's the amount of submissions?"

One of the middle-aged men smiled and said, "Maybe those literature lovers have recognized the reality and gone to work as waiters?"

The editor-in-chief's bald head shook slightly, and said, "That shouldn't have been reduced so much at once." ”

Then, after a moment's hesitation, he picked up the phone and dialed the editor-in-chief of Penguin Publishing.

Half an hour later.

The editors-in-chief of the six major publishing houses all held the submission data of the month and frowned.

Then, in unison, they ordered their men to start looking for the cause.

I have to say that these publishing houses, whose history is measured in decades at the shortest, although they also suffer from the disease of big business, are usually passive and scattered.

But when they try to figure out something, their means of obtaining information are simply intimidatingly efficient.

Only half a day later, all kinds of registration information, share composition, and even the work history of each staff member were placed on the desks of the editors-in-chief.

"Wang Yan?" the editor-in-chief of Candlewick Publishing House looked at the information and asked, "Is that the best-selling author?"

"Yes. The subordinate respectfully agreed: "It was also through that book of "Arcane Divine Throne" that he attracted a large number of readers to his so-called website. ”

The bald editor-in-chief looked at the information on the website, especially the number of new works, and then at the number of submissions from the publishing house that had plummeted.

Eventually, he picked up the phone and called the other editors-in-chief of the six major publishing houses.

"I think we need to meet. ”
