The next morning, Wang gradually looked at the data in the background of the website.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the number of views is 27,000 per time, and the average number of messages is more than 5,000.

Although a considerable part of the messages are complaining that the plot is incoherent, and there are too many descriptions of irrelevant characters and landscapes.

However, it did not affect the number of payers.

As of 9 a.m. this morning, the total sales of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were more than $50,000.

Well, after deducting 50% of the website's share.

In just one night, the novel earned the author more than $20,000.

Wang gradually looked at the sales data collected by Dorsey, "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "own" "Arcane Throne".

Exclude the first day of release of these two books, which have the highest sales.

Then, calculate it.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone brings more revenue to the author than the average daily income of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "Arcane Throne", which are currently at the top of the best-selling list.

You know, the author of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was not famous before.

This shows that it is feasible to distribute works online only in terms of publication income!

Wang gradually picked up the agreement reached after discussing with Tom and Dorsey last night.

Start thinking about it.

The agreement reads: Tom and Dorsey each own 12.5% of the site's shares, and make up for their share of the money spent during the site's creation.

And he gets 75% of the shares.

But the agreement also requires that starting with the second volume of the Arcane Throne, their own works must be published in their entirety on the website.

And it is no longer possible to use the website as a mere propaganda tool, as in the first volume.

After hesitating for a moment, Wang gradually signed his name on the agreement.

Then, he woke up Tom, who was sleeping on the carpet, and said, "Make an appointment with the law firm, draft a formal contract, and then go through the relevant procedures for the establishment of the Internet company." ”

Tom rubbed his still foggy eyes and placed the agreement in his briefcase.

While nodding, he responded: "So, I will officially become the copyright promoter of this original literary website?"

"Of course," Wang gradually smiled, "However, as the chairman of the website, I ask you to start with advertising and comic copyrights. ”

"The most valuable film and television adaptation rights still have to wait until the work is completely fermented. ”

"Understood. Tom picked up his briefcase, patted his computer, and laughed.

"I can't imagine that one day, we will also have the opportunity to become "tech heroes", haha..."

Wang gradually thought about the experience of this period of time, and couldn't help but sigh that life is really wonderful.

Dorsey was also woken up by the sound of the two talking.

He rubbed his thinning hair and said, "Then I'm the chief architect of the site?"

"But I can't support the daily maintenance of the entire website alone, and I still need to recruit some people. ”

Wang gradually nodded and said, "You have the final say on the network problem. ”

"It's better to hire some cheap ones, though. ”

"Of course. Dorsey replied: "I go to the university to recruit some interns, and the school requires every student to have a certain amount of social practice before graduation. ”

"When necessary, you can talk to them about your dreams. Wang gradually said with a smile.

Dorsey was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "Sure enough, all the people who have been in New York for a long time have become profiteers." Even writers are no exception. ”

Then, he goes to the computer and looks at the data.

Wang gradually pointed to the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and said, "Take a screenshot of this page and put it on the homepage of the website." ”

“ok。 Dorsey's hands fluttered quickly on the keyboard.

And after Wang gradually finished his modifications, he sat down in front of the computer screen again.

After Tom and Dorsey took their leave, they went off to work on the tasks assigned to them.

Wang gradually clicked on the catalog of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and began to check the irrelevant landscape descriptions that were complained about by readers.

After a moment, he shook his head helplessly.

It's no wonder that these readers keep complaining.

There are too many descriptions of these landscapes, and they are too blunt.

He opened his email and wrote an email to the author of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

In the email, Wang gradually congratulated the other party on the big sale of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" yesterday.

Then, we started to talk about how to increase the word count without being too obvious.

At this moment, JK Rowling is also nervously waiting for sales data.

When the email prompt sounded, she quickly entered the mailbox and clicked to view.

"Congratulations, as of now, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has $50,000 in sales, and you can earn $25,000. ”

"This amount will be sent to your bank account in the near future, please pay attention to check. ”

Rowling looked at the email, feeling mixed for a moment.

I really started to make money by writing.

And with such a sum of money, it also gave me the courage to leave that scum and get rid of the current predicament completely.

She then continued to check her email.

Then, she discovers that the contents of the email are a tactful critique of the meaningless depictions of the novel.

Most crucially, the sender of the mail was "Wang Jian", the best-selling author who wrote "Arcane Throne".

She replied half excitedly, half helplessly: But if you don't write like this, the content of the novel will not last at all.

Moments later, she received another email.

She thought that in the email, she would reprimand herself for giving up her ethics as a writer for money.

As a result, after clicking to view, I found that what was written in the email was: how to significantly increase the number of words without being noticed by readers.

Rowling was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but look at it.

There are simple ways to use more punctuation, more line breaks, and less pronouns in the email.

There are also slightly more advanced techniques such as adding more psychological descriptions and more spending lines.

In the end, this predecessor called Wang gradually gave one of the most important ways to write it.

"Even if you are describing a landscape, don't describe it from the author's point of view. It should be described through the eyes of the main character, so that the reader can feel that he or she is also seeing the scenery. ”

Rowling looked at the email, thinking and smiling.

In the end, the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't help but grow.

The author of this "Arcane Throne" is different from what he imagined...

Let's talk about Wang Gradually.

After teaching him the trick of counting water words, he felt that the little thing in his stomach had been completely emptied.

He thought about it, anyway, the second volume of "Arcane Throne" was going to be published online.

It's better to translate from Chinese to English while learning how the original author of "Arcane Throne" counted.

So, he opened the authors section of the website, typed in the name of the second volume of "Arcane Throne", and began to type.

And at the moment, in the circle of down-and-out writers, the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" are like an atomic bomb.

They frantically calculated the income of the book's writers, and at the same time the thought of "I can do it too" came to their minds.

As a result, on this day, there were not a few down-and-out writers at the door of several major publishing houses.

This makes it extremely uncomfortable for pedestrians.

In just one morning, the table of contents of his novels was expanded by 30 pages.

That's a whole 1,200 novels.
