Because of the New York Times, the influence in the United States, and even in the entire Western world, is too great.

As soon as this incident came out, the media industry suddenly formed a situation where one party was in trouble and all sides praised it.

As a result, a storm of public opinion that was originally aimed at online piracy immediately turned into a situation in which the traditional media encircled and suppressed the New York Times.

And as a weapon, the click rate has been rising.

"Arcane Throne" can also be regarded as taking advantage of this shareholder wind, and sales have soared all the way.

Finally, within a week, it reached No. 16 on the bestseller list, temporarily ranking first before "A Song of Ice and Fire".

And the most amazing thing is that in Princeton, a professor of physics in the theoretical department who loves curiosity about fantasy literature, after seeing the first volume of "Arcane Throne".

I'm very interested in the setting that knowledge is power.

So, he recommended the novel to the school.

In the end, with the unanimous approval of many physics professors, this novel actually became a recommended reading for the Ivy League of Universities.

This is also the first fantasy novel to be recommended by the Ivy League.

This kind of thing makes the hearts of many writers who have been rejected move.

Hey?

So it can still be like this?

As a result, these writers soon signed up for their own websites and put their work on them.

They want more people to see their work.

However, due to fame and other reasons, most of these personal websites have very few hits.

So, these people set their sights on the ...... again

They tap on a part of their work in the reader's message.

It is hoped that those readers who read "Arcane Throne" will be able to see their own work and then rate it after reading the part posted online.

I have to say that these people really love literature.

Instead of being like Wang Jian, the first consideration is always his own interests.

At this moment, Wang gradually received a call from the editor of the publishing house and got the news.

Within a week, "Arcane Throne" sold 70,000 copies nationwide.

He immediately began to calculate how much money he had earned.

$40 for a novel.

10% royalty share,

70,000 copies.

Then, you can get a share of $280,000.

Plus $120,000 in guaranteed royalties.

Then the first volume of "Arcane Throne" alone earned himself $400,000.

The most critical issue is that this is only 300,000 words.

You know, the whole book of "Arcane Throne" is as high as 3.3 million words!

This shows that putting one-third of the copies on the Internet and then tempting these readers to buy them again is an effective promotion method.

Then, this website has to find a way to sustain it.

Wang gradually looked at Jack Dorsey, who was still frantically tinkering with bugs on the website.

I think it's time to give a little sweetness to the biggest contributors to the establishment of this website.

After all, you can't just let the horse work, and not let the horse graze, right?

"Hey, Dorsey. Wang gradually patted the other party on the shoulder and asked, "If you are asked to manage this website, how much salary will be appropriate for you?"

"Salary?" Dorsey looked back at Wang gradually in a little confusion and said, "After the publication of the Arcane Throne, do you still need this website?"

Wang gradually looked at the third novel, which had slowly revealed its thickness in his mind, and replied affirmatively: "Of course, I hope it will always exist. ”

"Until, all the novels in my mind have been published. He added silently in his heart.

Dorsey thought hard this time.

He turned his computer chair around, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If you need me to help manage the website in the short term, I can do it for free." ”

"If you want to go on for a long time, you have to consider the salary level of a top programmer under the current Internet boom. ”

He looked at Wang gradually with a smile, and then said: "This salary must be much higher than the initial cost of building your website." So, are you sure?"

Wang gradually thought about it for a moment and asked, "How much?"

"$80,000 a year. Dorsey said, "Friendship price." ”

80,000?

Programmer salaries are really high.

The king was secretly speechless.

Dorsey added: "Actually, it can also be converted into shares, 15% is fine. ”

He shrugged, "After all, I'm a real fan of fantasy literature. ”

"Let me think about it. Wang gradually replied.

Dorsib made an "ok" gesture, then turned around again, looking for bugs, and began to blow water with others as the author of "Arcane Constellation".

Just as the two were discussing the future.

The one that was criticized along with Wang's website was in Cadabra's office building.

Its founder, bald Bezos, was facing a group of employees and began to speak.

"Random House has licensed the books to us that have electronic rights. We need to seize the Internet reading boom caused by it and start business quickly. ”

"At the same time, we will prevent the recurrence of this incident. ”

After everyone nodded, Bezos instructed the programmer, "Go back online." ”

As a result, books and pricing began to appear on employees' computers with various colored skins.

Eventually, the name of the website, that big black letter, loaded.

“Amazon”。

And right below this favicon, the cover of a novel is placed in the most prominent position.

If you look closely, it is "A Song of Ice and Fire".

Far away in Europe, a woman named J.K. Rowling is looking at her favorite, The Sun.

Suddenly, she discovers the author of "I Am an Archmage" and releases a new novel called "Arcane Throne".

Then, the author also posted a part of the novel on the Internet.

In addition, the plot will be discussed with the reader from time to time.

She thought for a moment, then quickly ran back to her lodgings.

I turned on my computer and logged in to this website.

When she was fascinated by the part of "Arcane Throne" posted on the Internet, she began to read the reader's comment section again.

It's just that she found that in the reader's message area, there are actually some works by other authors that have been released.

Then, readers who come because of "Arcane Throne" will also watch and evaluate.

And even the more fortunate works, even the author of "Arcane Throne", sometimes comment on one or two.

So, she took a deep breath.

Go back to the bedroom and take out the manuscript that was written to coax the child.

Then, learn from others the first few chapters of this work and tap them into the message board.

Look at the name again, it is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Finally, at the bottom of her own work she writes: New writer, creative loneliness.

I hope that readers and the authors of "Arcane Throne" will comment on it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

PS: I wrote it again in a state of confusion.

Recently, the withdrawal reaction has been extremely severe, probably because I smoked one and a half packs a day for 13 years.

If you look confused, leave a message and I'll withdraw it.
