Chapter 43: Contrast
"Isn't that plagiarism?" Wang gradually pointed to the computer screen and turned his head to look at Tom.
Tom also walked to the computer, looked at it for a while, nodded and said, "It should be considered plagiarism." ”
"In the creation of literary works, ideas and ideas can be imitated, while only methods of expression are protected. ”
And this "I am really an archmage" is even imitated in terms of expression. However, I recommend talking to some senior editors. ”
Looking for a senior editor, that's a lot of money.
Is it worth it?
Wang gradually thought about it.
Then, he clicks through to the backend of the website and looks at the real-time views.
and Amazon, in order to promote its own specially issued announcement advertorial, compared with the number of views.
It's more than a big cut.
As a traverser, although he doesn't know much about the development history of Amazon, he still has a little hazy familiarity with this name.
That means that Amazon can exist until it crosses on its own.
And now, the number of views on his personal website is actually higher than that of the newly established Amazon.
Does that mean that the development potential of its own website is greater than that of the first online bookstore, Amazon?
So is it possible to earn back by hiring senior editors, increasing investment in the website, and regularizing the website?
He thought for a moment and shook his head.
It's just that it's useless to guess, but you still have to make a comparison.
Wang gradually typed in Amazon's URL, searched for "I am an archmage", and then clicked to buy.
Payment methods are Visa, Mastercard, American Express credit card.
He looked at Tom and Rosie and asked, "Can we follow up with this payment method?"
"Of course. The two of them actually said in unison.
Rosie motioned for Tom to answer.
Tom smiled, "These card companies are so fanatical about their own promotions that they want to issue credit cards to homeless people and credit card readers to drug dealers. ”
"Not to mention us. ”
Wang nodded in understanding.
Then, he took a deep breath and said to Rossi: "First block all the works on the website that may involve plagiarism." ”
Then, take the top 50 names in this year's bestseller list and count the relationship between the price and the number of words. ”
"And you," Wang gradually looked at Tom again, and said, "find the most clicked book on this site, aside from Arcane Throne." ”
"Find a way to contact the author to see if they have completed at least one volume. ”
Then, try to sign an electronic copyright agreement with the other party. ”
"What is the percentage of the electronic copyright agreement?, guarantee or share?" asked Tom, who felt as if he was involved in something different, a little trembling.
Wang gradually thought about the standard of the publishing house's share ratio.
Bestseller sequels in the category, the maximum is 20%.
Recognized literary masters, like Hemingway, can reach up to 25%.
Then consider online publishing, which is an unknown new way of publishing, as well as the cost of website operation.
"50% of the percentage. He replied.
"Let's do an experiment. The king announced loudly.
"Since most of the sites are fantasy novels, let's compare that to this year's benchmark for fantasy novels, A Song of Ice and Fire. ”
"The first volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire" completely follows the route of the publishing house, and the "Arcane Throne" takes the route of online promotion and publishing house. ”
"The book on our website is distributed online. ”
"Taking into account the different publicity channels, well-known, and sharing ratios. ”
"If the book on our website earns one-third of the author's income of A Song of Ice and Fire. So," Wang gradually laughed, and said, "I think we may have found something that can be called a career." ”
Tom and Rosie looked at Wang Jian, then turned their heads to look at the computer.
After repeating it a few times, they nodded at the same time, and then the smile on the corner of their lips slowly rippled.
Wang gradually sat back on the sofa and began to think about how to increase the exposure of the website and the novel that was about to be used as an experiment.
Just when Wang gradually and the three of them were crowded in that cramped apartment, they were very busy.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Wang gradually looked at Tom and Rosie, who were crowded in front of the computer, counting all kinds of data.
Shaking his head, he came to the door and opened the door.
I saw a touch of red hair, which was extremely dazzling in the sunlight.
Then, a slightly mocking female voice rang in her ears.
"Great writer, you're really busy. ”
Wang gradually rubbed his eyes that were dangling in the sunlight and looked to the other side.
It's actually Lily's best friend, the white bone spirit of the advertising industry, Lynn.
He remembered what Lily had said that this Lynne knew about herself and Lily.
Wang gradually let the other party into the house a little awkwardly and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Of course. Lynn rolled her eyes and said, "Otherwise, who do you think is rare to come to you?"
"What the hell is going on?" Wang gradually frowned.
You can be humble to Lily herself, but it doesn't mean that you will be humble to this Lynn.
As the time it takes to travel through itself becomes longer, as well as the status and wallet change.
Wang gradually no longer feels as strange and frightened of this world as he did at the beginning.
Correspondingly, his personality began to change little by little.
Lynn glanced at Wang gradually and asked, "Has Lily ever come to you?"
"Nope. Wang gradually shook his head.
Lynn pursed her lips and complained, "She's still embarrassed." ”
"That's right. Her expression became a little more serious, and she looked at Wang gradually and said, "Jean is going to elementary school, and Lily hopes that Jean will have the opportunity to attend the best elementary school in New York, Herres Mann Elementary School." ”
"And that elementary school is the best private elementary school in the country. There are three ways to get in. First, pay high tuition fees. Second, superior intelligence. ”
Lynn paused for a moment, then continued, "Or there may be a recommendation from an alumni association or a celebrity." ”
The school is currently hoping that the author of the "Ivy League Recommended Book" "Arcane Throne" will come to give a lecture. ”
In that case, the author could recommend a child to school. ”
Lynn looked at Wang Yan, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Lily is embarrassed to come to you, so I have to come." ”
Wang gradually thought back to the appearance of Lily and Jean in his mind, and then thought about the appearance of the speech under the attentive gaze of many children, and hesitated a little.
He really doesn't like kids very much...
Suddenly, Tom and Rosie, who were gathered in front of the computer, screamed in surprise and shouted, "Unbelievable, it's actually a children's book." ”
Wang gradually looked at the two of them suspiciously, and also walked over.
I saw that it was written on the computer screen: This book was created to coax children, it can be regarded as a children's book.
I look forward to your valuable comments.
Under this message, it is the name of the novel.
Wang gradually fixed his eyes and saw that it was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
ps: These three days are a shift, because I smoked a box of cigarettes, and it felt like flying.
It's all over today, and it's going to resume two shifts tomorrow.
