Chapter 7 First Chapter Subscription 2800
Qin Luming swept a shared moped and found that it had been occupied, saw that there were many small holes on the seat cushion that had been punctured by needles, and remembered the rumor that bloody needles were found on the seat cushion of the moped, so he took a closer look.
The world is too dangerous.
"This is the car I swept. A girl came over tentatively and said to Qin Luming, this person's temperament and appearance are easy to make people's hearts beat like a deer, but didn't there be news last time that there were perverts who specialized in licking the shared bicycles or electric car cushions that girls had ridden? There are too many perverts in this world.
"Oh. ”
Qin Luming turned around and left without being embarrassed at all, although the other party's tone and eyes seemed to be suspicious of something.
Qin Luming took the subway back to school, in the cold season, the greenery has gradually flourished, and it is even greener in May and June, when it is the peak period of graduation and breakup, but it is also suitable for the occasion, the school planted a lot of green trees, probably also has its good intentions hinted in it.
Qin Luming does not live in the dormitory, some strange things always happen to him, and he himself is doing something that ordinary people can't understand, so it is not suitable for exposing his private life to the public space.
After class in the morning, Qin Luming, Guo Gaoming, and Diao Ligang in the same class ate in the cafeteria together.
"I originally wanted to eat boiled instant noodles, add some vegetables, add root sausages, add an egg, and it was delicious. Diao Ligang looked at his share of potato roast chicken nuggets without chicken nuggets at all and said.
He was talking about a stall cooking instant noodles near the school, not the kind of Internet celebrity instant noodle canteen that costs twenty or thirty yuan for just adding something.
"The last time I went, I brought some octopus and abalone fillets for the old lady to help cook a seafood noodle, it was delicious. Guo Gaoming smashed his mouth with great memories and ate a piece of Diao Ligang's potato.
"Listen to what you said, I'll go back and cook instant noodles at night. Qin Luming also said with some aftertaste, instant noodles are very magical, eating one pack is not enough, eating two packs will last, eating two meals will be tired, not eating for a long time and feeling delicious, he may not be willing to soak, he wants to taste two bites when he sees others soaking.
Qin Luming, Guo Gaoming, Diao Ligang, and another classmate, Zhu Baiqing, were originally supposed to be roommates in the same dormitory, but the dormitory was originally allocated, Qin Luming paid the accommodation fee, and his bed was naturally retained, but he never lived in the dormitory.
This is the case in the freshman year, and the same is true in the sophomore year, no one knows what Qin Luming is wasting this money for, the four-person dormitory in the school is not nervous, and he will not take back Qin Luming's bed.
Guo Gaoming, Diao Ligang, and Qin Luming's relationship is okay, because Qin Luming is lukewarm to female classmates, but he has no arrogance in front of male classmates, and he is very easy-going and generous.
Another classmate, Zhu Baiqing, often quarrels with Diao Ligang and Guo Gaoming, because Zhu Baiqing is also an Internet writer.
Zhu Baiqing wrote some online novels intermittently when he was in high school, but the time was tight and not free, and there were no achievements in bits and pieces, and he held back a 2 million word online novel in the first semester of the first semester of his summer vacation after graduating from high school, and the grades were still not good, but he was successfully signed and put on the shelves, and the editor saw that he had a talent for updating quickly, so he finished the book and guided him to open a new book.
For the newly opened book, Zhu Baiqing achieved a good score of 3,000 when he finished the book and became a member of the website's boutique hall.
Now Zhu Baiqing has opened a new book, and it has just been on the shelves, and the results are definitely better than the previous one.
Zhu Baiqing updates a lot every day, and there is a lot of time for code words, sometimes Diao Ligang, Guo Gaoming has been lying in bed for a long time, and he is still crackling on the keyboard, once the code word is in the state, he will often get carried away, not to mention Zhu Baiqing, a high-speed player.
When Diao Ligang and Guo Gaoming play games, they like to shout together, and Zhu Baiqing can't clean the codewords, especially when the writing side is blocked by inspiration or needs to think about the development of the plot, then it is even more impossible to concentrate on the codewords.
This will inevitably have some quarrels, just a dormitory, look up and don't look down, the quarrel and quarrel relationship is not harmonious, but it does not tear the skin.
Just as he was talking about eating instant noodles, Zhu Baiqing saw Qin Luming and the others, so he walked over and sat down with a plate.
"Not with your girlfriend?" asked Guo Gaoming nonchalantly, only Zhu Baiqing had a girlfriend in the bedroom.
"Ah He, they have dinner in class. Zhu Baiqing said, speaking of his girlfriend, his face was filled with a look of pride and wanting to be reserved...... Speaking of fate, his name is Zhu Baiqing, and one of Zhu Ziqing's essays is called "A River", and there is also a girl named A River in it.
"They had dinner together...... You eat in the cafeteria, what's the matter, don't let you bring your family? Diao Ligang smiled, "But it's better than us, we want to eat instant noodles." ”
"By the way, I'll send the manuscript fee next month, and I'll invite you to a big dinner. Zhu Baiqing glanced at Qin Luming intentionally or unintentionally.
"What's the matter, the new book has a good score on the shelves?" Qin Luming understood Zhu Baiqing's meaning very well, and took the conversation.
"Actually, it's so-so...... First order 2800. Zhu Baiqing let out a long sigh, his eyes swept over Guo Gaoming and Diao Ligang, and he looked at Qin Luming and shook his head, looking a little unsatisfactory.
"That's great, I haven't signed a contract for my new book yet. Qin Luming showed a look of shame.
The first order of 2800 is indeed a very good result, you must know that Zhu Baiqing's last book was written for a year, and the average order is only 3000, and the final average order of a book is often three or even more than four times that of the first order, that is to say, if the plot of Zhu Baiqing's novel does not collapse in the later stage, it is entirely possible to order 10,000.
Reaching 3,000 is a threshold, and the vast majority of authors can't cross it.
Taking the website where Qin Luming and Zhu Baiqing published novels as an example, millions of novel works, the contract rate of each novel category is basically in single digits, and the signed works may not be able to be put on the shelves, and after they are put on the shelves, they reach an average order of 3000, that is, the novels that have obtained a boutique badge have been accumulated by the entire website for more than ten years, but only two or three thousand copies.
In comparison, Zhu Baiqing is less than above, but in the eyes of ordinary authors, he is considered a god, Zhu Baiqing's book, with his 300,000 words updated every month, to the later months of the writing process, focusing on the addition of the half-year award, the update of efforts and the promotion of the website, it is possible for the income of a certain month to exceed 70,000 or 80,000, and if you usually update your efforts, it is common to earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month.
Many authors have such achievements, if they do not collapse in the later stage, and do not go crazy with subscriptions, it is possible to write down an electronic subscription manuscript fee of millions, and even sell various copyrights, which is a lot of money.
Of course, this is the best-case scenario, and not every book with a first order of 2800 will be able to earn that much.
This is the case in this industry, many people have more than ten books, and they may not be able to make a few dollars, but if one of them is up, they may make a lot of money.
How many authors are engaged in online writing? Some say hundreds of thousands, and some say millions, it is difficult to count, but the absolute number is quite large, and Qin Luming casually guesses that 90 percent of the people have not received any direct economic benefits from the words they publish, including him.
Many authors give up when they write that there is no income, or they only work part-time, or change careers.
Many authors persevere, but may never receive more than four figures, or even three figures.
Most of these authors are the left and right dishes, and Qin Luming is also one of them.
Qin Luming didn't care how much money he could make, he just wanted to write one popular book after another, and then the eunuch would get rid of it.
