Internet, what a familiar name, hearing that Macbeth has already begun to write time-traveling essays, Feng Han feels like he has returned to the golden age of online texts.

"Mr. Bai, tell me about the network in the United States. "Feng Han is interested.

"That's a conversation, I can't finish talking between classes!" Macbeth was a little excited, it must be interesting to have a creative mode that can make a lecturer at a world-class university addicted to it.

"Then we'll make an appointment after my morning class is over. ”

After class, Feng Han and Macbeth went to the third floor of the school cafeteria, and the two occupied a table, ordered a few dishes, and chatted while eating.

"Speaking of the Internet, in fact, I had it when I was in college, and that was seven or eight years ago," Macbeth said, "In the beginning, some creators created with hobbies, and there was no charge, if they wrote well, they went to publish, and if they didn't write well, they let everyone see it for free and gain some popularity."

At that time, it was chaotic, and there were some physical book writers who tested the waters of the Internet, but there were also some who wrote color texts, so the reputation of the Internet was very poor.

Later, all major websites were strictly regulated, prohibiting color and text from being published on this site, and those who had no soil for survival, all ran to a website called the system, membership, I have an invitation code, do you need it?"

"No, no, no, if there is a need, I can write it myself, and I don't have to look at other people's. Feng Han refused.

"Amazing, you can write in color!" Macbeth was amazed and continued, "A few years ago, online texts ushered in the era of paid reading, and the price of 1,000 words and 2 cents was promoted, the author could share half, the first part was free, and if you wanted to continue to read the back, you had to spend real money.

You also know how serious the crackdown on piracy is in the United States, so after testing the waters, I found that the sales of paid reading were actually good, and some people could earn more than 10,000 a month by relying on this in the first month, although it was not too much, but it was also a windfall.

At that time, the station was divided into two factions, one group decided to pay for reading, and the other group insisted on free reading, and the free reading side hoped to promote it for free, build popularity, and then publish physical books, or make film and television game comic adaptations.

But because there is no real money subscription sales as data support, just look at the clicks, this fraud is too easy, so the chaos is numerous, and in the end it is either yellow, or restructured, and now the few major websites left are paid stations. ”

Then Macbeth went to the pattern of the Han popular science network station, "Now the first big station of the United States network must be the number of Qiongqi, that is the first website in the United States to use the VIP payment system, the price of 1,000 words and 2 points is also the earliest determination and implementation of this website, this website occupies half of the share of the Internet market, it can be said that the gods gathered, I used to be in the Qiongqi."

The second is Zhang Yue, this is a rising star, but there is a big consortium behind it, so the speed of the rise is very fast, and I am willing to spend money, and I was dug up from Qiongqi by Zhang Yue.

Let's look at the network again, backed by the Peanut Stew Post, the largest newspaper in the United States, and it is also very powerful, and it also dug up a lot of great writers from Qiongqi.

Finally, it is fly reading, the reader is the least, and it is the only one of the four websites that does not have an English version, only doing Chinese content, but it has also gained a lot of loyal readers, and the website has also cultivated some good writers, unlike Zhang Yue and See, in the early days, they only relied on digging people to bring traffic. ”

After talking about the network station layout, Macbeth began to popularize the concepts of subscription, average subscription, and high subscription.

"In our circle, the average subscription is the most important data, just not talented, there was a period of time when I was the subscription champion of Qiongqi, the average subscription was 120,000, that is, when I wrote back to Tang's book, plus I wrote super fast, I can write 100,000 words a month, so the manuscript fee can reach as much as 120,000! That was my most beautiful time, much higher than the salary of a university lecturer!"

Feng Han, who was eating, almost sprayed, and he was embarrassed to say that he wrote fast with 100,000 a month, thinking that he would have at least 10,000 a day, and he would update more than 300,000 words every month.

Alas, what a time of burning passion that cannot be looked back!

Macbeth continued, "However, as the market gets bigger and bigger, the average subscription data has been raised, and now there is an average order of 300,000, of course, such a can only appear in the firmament, on our website, 200,000 average orders are only one book, like reading and flying, 100,000 average orders should be their ceiling." ”

Feng Han touched his chin, "In this way, it seems that I should go to Qiongqi to distribute books, after all, there are more readers there." ”

Macbeth smiled: "A famous writer like you, it must not only be a subscription, but also depends on which website is willing to invest in the signing fee, I think we should be the most generous in this regard, and you bring your own traffic, maybe it depends on you to break the chapter reading subscription record." ”

Feng Han shook his head: "I don't have much hope for this, after all, the reading rhythm and cool points of online and physical books are definitely different, and mine may not meet the taste of online readers." ”

When Macbeth heard him say this, he was surprised, "Have you also seen the Internet in our country?"

"Not yet, I guess. ”

Macbeth nodded, "It's true that online readers prefer cool texts to those who are too miserable, and abusing the lord and green hats are taboo in our industry, which is not quite the same as traditional literature, which is abusive and green." ”

Feng Han said with a smile: "I still have a martial arts suitable for the online style, but I'm too busy now and don't have the energy to take care of so many works at the same time, as for your proposal, I will discuss it with the company." ”

"What about writing fanfiction?" asked Macbeth.

"You can just take it and write it, I'll open a letter of authorization when I go back, and I won't share the subscription fee from you," Feng Han said generously, "But your book can't be adapted, unless all the characters don't need me." ”

"Thank you so much, I promise, you will definitely be excellent in your vernacular classes this semester and next semester!" Macbeth said excitedly.

He also said, "Xiaoao Jianghu is too popular in the United States, and many people on the Internet in the United States want to write the same people in the United States, but because of copyright issues, at most, it is to hang a Xiaoao name, and I dare not really use Linghu Chong's characters and plots, but some people are more witty and use your scrapped manuscripts to write the same humanities." ”

Feng Han remembered that it was "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "Sword in the Snow", and "Peerless Double Pride".

These three were thrown out of the beginning by Feng Han, pretending to be the beginning of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and were stolen by hackers and released in advance, so as to carry out a wave of good publicity, and finally threw out the real Smiling Proud Jianghu.

"Oh, that doesn't seem to be in order, I didn't finish it, but it's my work. Feng Han said.

"That is to say," Macbeth said indignantly, "When I wrote back to the Tang Dynasty, someone on Qiongqi.com wrote a "Laughing Proud Tang Heroes", which started with you, and then wrote a martial arts story of the late Sui and early Tang dynasties with Li Shimin as the protagonist, and that book and my Hui Tang were the most popular networks at that time, and the profit was at least one million!"
