Half an hour later.

In the office, Wang gradually took the report handed by Tom and read it carefully.

Starting at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, 20 paid works began to be launched on the website.

Of these, 10 are serious readings.

The other 10 books were screened out by the editor according to Wang Yan's requirements.

Judging from the data, serious reading materials have a higher payment rate and fewer people who can follow them.

The payment rate of "Xiaobaiwen" in Wang Gradual's mouth is slightly lower, but the number of followers is much higher than that of serious literature.

Therefore, the total amount of payment will beat the other party until the mother doesn't know each other.

In particular, the author, named James, knows how to write a good "little white text".

He paid for the novel, just at the moment when a magical genius looked down on the protagonist and the protagonist was about to fight back.

As a result, readers scolded "too hateful" and click-to-pay.

The end result is more than 2,000 people paying, and the number is growing.

And James himself has become the envy of many authors on the website after Wang Jian and J.K. Rowling.

Wang gradually looked down at the bottom of the report, and the total amount of payment for these novels was almost equivalent to the current daily payment for "Arcane Throne" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

"Well, pretty good. He placed the report on his desk and said to Tom, "Continue to steadily advance the paid reading of other works." ”

At the same time, we will speed up the application for tax-exempt qualification certification of the "Literary Creators Charity Fund". ”

"The tax-exempt status is available and requires the signatures of a large number of needy recipients. Tom took the report.

Wang gradually pointed to the computer with his chin, "Except for a very few, these authors should all meet the standards." ”

"But most of them are part-time. Tom, drawing on his experience working in a publishing house, asked.

"Rest assured, there are always people who give up everything and only focus on creation. Wang gradually shook his head with a smile and said, "Even if these people are a minority among the authors, the number of signatures should be enough." ”

"Okay, I'll investigate the contact. Tom turned and left the office.

Wang gradually no longer thought about the various miscellaneous items of the website, but began to take stock of his various gains in a happy mood.

Scholastic Press's royalty share of "I Am the Archmage" is now getting smaller and smaller.

However, the royalty share of this issue is still less than $10,000.

And Random Press's royalty share of the first volume of "Arcane Throne" broke through the $200,000 mark.

In addition, online paid reading, game licensing and other income.

The balance of his personal account is approaching $1.5 million.

Wang gradually thought about the advice of the police last night, and felt that he needed to change his apartment.

After all, no matter how much money you have, there is only one life, right?

As for the expenses of dealing with emergencies, the income from the manga version of "Arcane Throne" should be enough.

Although, Marvel and DC Comics, in order to deal with the menacing dark horse comics, have launched many comic book single books.

But they didn't dare to randomly release "Superman" and "Spider-Man" with a good reputation.

But the rest of "Fantastic Four", "Black Panther", "Green Lantern" and so on are not enough to watch.

"Arcane Throne" still relies on excellent quality and super high exposure, and tenaciously occupies the second place in the daily sales version of the comic.

Only after "Batman".

He picked up the phone and dialed the number of a well-known real estate agency in New York.

Then, he described his requirements for "a safe community, easy transportation, and preferably a serviced apartment".

After hearing these requirements, the other party immediately realized that this was a big customer.

As a result, its voice and tone were utterly humble.

And said that it will be done as soon as possible.

After Wang gradually hung up the phone, he came to the computer again.

Because of the rush to draft "Arcane Constellation", and developed a habit.

Let him get to a certain point in time, and he wants to write something.

But Wang gradually remembered the "Extreme Heavenly Demon" in his mind.

He put his finger on the length of the keyboard, deleted the code, deleted the code...

,

How do you translate this from Chinese to English?

He thought about the background of the story in the novel.

It seems that the government in this book has relatively weak control, and each city has a bit of a separate flavor.

So...

The ancient Greek city-state of Athens?

People who don't have "ability" in the book are ordinary people.

And the person with "ability" is the person with the blood of the gods?

As for the villain...

Mother Earth goddess Gaia and her Titans?

As for the woman who was unattainable in the early stage and became the slave of the protagonist in the later stage...

Just arrange Athena.

Wang gradually thought about it and felt that this idea was feasible.

So, I looked up the relevant information on the Internet.

"By the way, it seems that there is a book that introduces the background of ancient Greek mythology. ”

Wang gradually clicked on the website and searched for the directory in his own words.

Then, he clicked into the book and read it.

Not to mention, this book is auspicious, quotes scriptures, and tells everything except that it basically does not tell a story.

This made Wang gradually feel that it was much friendlier than "Homer's Epic".

After a moment, he clicked the mouse in confusion.

below

Gone?

He checked the latest update.

It was already a week ago.

Wang gradually shrugged, but felt a little troublesome.

You have to find someone to collect information about Greek mythology, and you can't get this knowledge directly.

However, he still left a message in the comment area: the writing is good and the information is detailed. But what about the story?

And at this moment, the author of the book, a man of Greek descent named Koya, walked out of the candlewick press in excitement.

My own manuscript was finally approved.

I'll be able to publish a book myself!

Although, the number of published volumes is very small, and the royalty share is very low.

But it's much better than on that site, where no one cares.

originally thought that his works would be sought after on the Internet.

It can be published for many days, click on several digits, and the message is 0.

Sure enough, the kind of people who like to read fiction and make up novels don't know how to appreciate themselves.

In the future, when you become a well-known best-selling author, when you are interviewed, you must mock that website and those readers in front of reporters!

In the building behind him, an editor was consulting the person next to him and asked, "Greek mythology, there is no story, and this kind of manuscript is also accepted?"

The editor next to him picked up the coffee, took a sip and said, "Anyway, it's just sold online, the cost is low, the number of copies is small, and the loss of money doesn't implicate us." ”

"Hurry up and collect the specified number of volumes, and then hand them over to the editor-in-chief, and you can get off work. ”

"These low-cost books are ready to be sold online. Several other major publishing houses are doing this, and we are not the only ones!"

"That's the Anazon?"

"Well, that's Amazon!"
