Chapter 16, Ranking of Writers of the Stars.
The two took a taxi to the Sichuan restaurant, and Qianfeng had already ordered a private room, and after seeing the two, he beckoned the two to sit down.
"Order whatever you want to eat, don't be polite with me. Qianfeng said.
"Hey, Boss Dry Wind is in a good mood today, is there anything happy to share with us? Xia Youhan saw Qianfeng's face with joy and said.
"It's nothing, it's just happy, what's wrong, is there a problem?" Qianfeng raised his eyebrows and quipped.
"No problem, let me tell you, I'm super good at eating, I'm afraid I'll eat up your month's salary, are you sure we want to order?" Xia Youhan teased.
"If you can eat a pig, I won't lose a month's salary. The dry wind didn't hold back, and said with a smile.
"Hey, hey, that's not going to happen. How can I eat in a Sichuan restaurant without Mao Xuewang and fish-flavored shredded pork, so I can eat two large bowls of dishes. Xia Youhan gestured and said.
"It's okay, it's a blessing to be able to eat, but I pity our two dogs, I don't know if I can raise you in the future." Qianfeng said, winking at Xu Ergou.
"Ahem, what, I think, just the three of us can't eat that much, aren't we advocating frugality now? Just order a few dishes. After Xu Ergou received Qianfeng's eyes, he diverted the topic and said.
"Ergou, I remember you're still single, right?" Qianfeng said faintly.
"Yes, but I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry, is this thing fate, if you meet it, it's here, if you don't meet it, it means that it hasn't arrived yet. After Xu Ergou finished speaking, he picked up the water cup and drank it?
"Sister Youhan is also single, it just so happens that you two are also there, why don't I take this opportunity to be a matchmaker for the two of you. Dry wind said badly.
"Poof!" Xu Ergou had just drunk the water in his mouth before he could swallow it, and sprayed a table.
"What's the matter? I still wronged you?" Xia Youhan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, no, no, I'm afraid that you will be wronged, and with people like me, life will be difficult. Xu Ergou hurriedly explained.
"Hmph, that's right, you're so sad, following people like you, I'm really wronged, so let's forget it, my mother is not in a hurry. Xia Youhan said very "generously".
"Alas, fate, if you miss it, you won't miss it. Seeing this, Qianfeng shook his head and said, but saw Xu Ergou send him a: Big brother, you spare me.
"By the way, the wind is strong, you tell me about this league. Xu Ergou hurriedly changed the topic.
"Okay, this league, as you know, is an event held by several of our top five online literature networks in the country, and although the prize money for this event has not yet been announced internally, it should be higher than in previous years.
For those who win the championship, the prize money should be about 800,000 yuan, and although the prize money for the second and third place is not as much as that of the champion, it will not be too different.
According to the activities held in previous years, ten best work awards will be selected, and the prize money will be about 50,000 yuan. If you are shortlisted, it is not too much, only a few hundred.
Of course, the important thing for us to participate in this league is not these irrelevant awards, but the important thing is to win the target championship. Qianfeng first told him the rules of the league that he knew.
"Boss Qianfeng, is the target group of authors targeted by the league newcomers or those capable old authors?" Xia Youhan asked.
"There is no crowd in the league, as long as it is before the end of the event, all books that open new books will be automatically accepted into the league by default.
The advantage of this event is that even if you are an inexperienced or even a new writer, as long as you can open a new book during this time, you will be accepted into the league, which is also a great opportunity for newcomers.
If you are selected in the audition stage and enter the next stage, the number of hits and publicity of the book will be much higher than that of the usual book, which is equivalent to giving newcomers a chance to promote their new book.
Therefore, when the league starts, there will be a lot of new writers who will open their books and participate in this event.
However, some meaningless books will also be cut down in this forcing campaign.
Ergou, your first goal is to advance the audition, and only after entering the audition, can you participate in the next group of qualifiers.
However, you have to be prepared because the prize money in this tournament is very attractive, and if nothing else, a lot of competent authors and those who are hidden in the crowd will make a move.
Advancing is brutal, especially when it comes to the last few spots, and the fight is even more brutal, so you can best advance at the beginning of the audition stage.
The competition at the beginning will not be very large, which is also conducive to your promotion, however, there is more than one person with this kind of strategic vision, the night before the promotion, if necessary, you can directly pull the book fans to help you brush the ticket list. Qianfeng said.
"By the way, Boss Dry Wind, what does it take to get promoted? I haven't figured this out yet. Xu Ergou asked.
"There are two ways to promote, first, the first on the recommended vote list, automatic promotion, second, the first on the gift list is automatically promoted, if the recommendation vote list is the first, the gift list is also the first, the gift list will automatically drop one place.
In this case, you need a lot of support from your book fans, but you still need to prevent the existence of ticket swiping.
If nothing has changed this year, it should be like this. Qianfeng said.
"By the way, Boss Qianfeng, I just heard you say that when you participate in the league, as long as you open a new book during the event, you will participate in the league by default, so what if there is a great god to participate, it is not very unfair to others?" Xia Youhan asked.
Youhan is right, however, the online league has never been won by rookie writers and rookie writers, so the writing gods of major literary websites will shoot and target the championship.
So, Ergou, you will be under a lot of pressure in the league you are participating in this time, because you are not facing a group of newcomers, but a group of authors with rich writing experience.
If your writing isn't good enough, or the subject matter isn't good enough to attract readers, you may end up in the semi-finals. Qianfeng said.
"The pressure is great, I knew that I wouldn't be able to make this bet, alas, forget it, I can't let an old lady look down on me, come on!" Xu Ergou said to himself, cheering himself up.
"By the way, the wind is strong, what are the powerful authors of our Xingchen Literature Network, can you introduce them to me, do you know what to do? Xu Ergou said.
"Do you know the author rankings?" asked Qianfeng.
"You know, I often search for author rankings on the Internet, and the results are different every time. Xu Ergou said.
"That's right, although there are a lot of results in the author rankings you search on the Internet, but the changes are not very big, I believe you have also noticed, although the results are different every time, but, at the top of the list must be a few authors who write better and are more popular.
But in fact, those are all privately ranked by netizens themselves, and many will rank their favorite authors at the top, most of these rankings have no accuracy at all, and there is a big gap between them and the rankings published on the official website. Qianfeng said.
"But I've been looking at the Internet for so long, but I've never seen a literary network publish a list of writers. Xu Ergou said.
"Yes, under normal circumstances, no website will count the popularity or income of writers on other websites, etc., which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and second, no one will do statistics. Qianfeng said.
"Then is there an author ranking?" Xia Youhan asked.
"Yes, every literary website will have its own author rankings, but they are not published to the public, only ourselves, as well as the fans and authors who have been on our own websites for a long time. Qianfeng said.
"Then who are the top ten authors on the list of our Xingchen Literature Network?" asked Xu Ergou.
"I want to tell you about this first, the author ranking of Xingchen Literature Network is mainly ranked according to the popularity of the author's book and gifts.
But as an author who is very powerful in Xingchen Literature Network, there will hardly be much change, because his book fans will keep chasing their books, chasing one after another, so the ranking of Xingchen Literature Network seems to be ranked according to the popularity and gifts of the book, but the authors who occupy the top ten on the list have basically not changed. Qianfeng said.
"In addition, the author who occupies the top spot on the list is: Shura Knife.
The second on the list is: Tie Guan Li.
List 3: Fishing songs hate late.
List 4: Residual dreams.
List 5: Divine Finger.
List six: Luo Sanshao.
List seven: Huangfu Haoyue.
Eight to ten are: night rain beetle, flowers and leaves, ancient vines, these ten,
Among these ten, only Gu Vine's position will fall into the top ten at any time, and the rest, although there will be occasional changes, are all competing with each other in the top ten.
Shura Dao, Tie Guan Li, and Huangfu Haoyue are the three main writers of fantasy flow novels.
Remnant Dream, God refers to these two novels written by the urban workplace and the urban cultivation of immortals respectively.
The fishing song hates the night, and the two female authors of Flowers and Leaves write urban romance flow novels.
Night Rain Jing writes a time-traveling novel, Luo Sanshao focuses on historical flow novels, and Gu Manvine is a girl's fantasy novel.
It can be said that the writing of these ten people is very wide, and they also occupy nearly half of the category division of Xingchen Literature Network.
So, the first condition for you to win the championship is to beat five of them out of ten in order to secure your entry to the final. Qianfeng said.
"Five, so many?" asked Xu Ergou in surprise.
"That's right, to be precise, you have to beat six to get to the finals, but, according to the practice of previous years, you can guarantee one more entry, so being able to beat five is already the minimum requirement.
It can be seen that the pressure you are facing is not ordinary. Qianfeng said.
