Chapter 544: Bookworm Reading
This afternoon, Lu Yang, who had already watched four episodes of "Rebellious Lelouch" and was about to start writing today's manuscript, remembered the phone call from Manager Wang of the Giant Copyright Department, so he logged on to Q'Q and asked on Q'Q if Tiange Giant Company had any contact with the starting point.
Brother Tian has now been promoted from the second group of editors in charge to the second group of editors-in-chief, and he can be promoted to editor-in-chief, and the results of Lu Yang's new book have given him some help, so on Q'Q again, his tone is very polite.
bluntly said that if Wen Chou has anything in the future, he can still go directly to him.
Brother Tian was promoted to the editor-in-chief of the second group, and Lu Yang's editor-in-charge was also changed, and at the beginning of his tenure, he also sent a message to Lu Yang's Q'Q, formulaically saying his current identity and taking care of him in the future.
Lu Yang asked Brother Tian if anyone from the Copyright Department of Brother Tian had contacted the starting point to discuss the adaptation rights of the game "The Master", Brother Tian obviously didn't know the news, so he asked Lu Yang to wait for a while, and only replied to Lu Yang after a few minutes: "I just asked my colleagues in the Copyright Department, there is such a thing, this matter is still in the negotiation stage, and I will notify you when the negotiation is completed." ”
With a reply, Lu Yang didn't ask much, he believed that the game adaptation rights of "The Master" would definitely be sold sooner or later, anyway, there was no shortage of money now, so he put this matter down for the time being and started to code words.
……
In the blink of an eye, September 08 is a thing of the past, and October is coming.
Regarding the adaptation rights of the game "The Master", Lu Yang has not received exact news here, but it is the starting point, and there are two big moves.
The first action is that the version of the starting point website has been updated.
After the update, the starting point homepage has become particularly long, and several major sections have been added in the middle of the homepage of the website. It's like cutting a person from the waist into two pieces with a knife, and then indirectly going to the middle of a sheep's body, so that many authors and readers who are used to the original starting point homepage. How awkward it looks.
The starting point homepage,Originally, it was a world full of boys' works.,From top to bottom,Very smooth.,The top half is the recommended position of the website.,The bottom half is an updated list of works.,And several new book lists.。
Right now. In the middle of the two, I forcibly inserted 'into the girls' channel, the publishing channel, the new trend, the comment topic, etc., and looked at the homepage of such a starting point. Lu Yang smiled bitterly.
The original time and space, the starting point has also been revised in this way, maybe such a revision will be launched in a few years. There won't be any problems. But 08 years, our country's Internet conditions are still very rubbish, many private and Internet cafes are very stuck, such a long home page, directly guide zhì many readers to open the starting point of the home page, to refresh several times, to open all.
For some readers who use mobile phone data to surf the Internet, it is even more painful. A starting point homepage opened, and the traffic whirred away.
Some readers are gradually moving away from landing on the front page of the starting point. The popularity of the works of the great gods has not been affected much, but the number of works by new authors has become much more difficult than before.
……
If it is said that this is the starting point into the Hou Xiaoxiang era, the first faint move, the second faint move is the 30 provincial association leader's work PK competition that followed.
Hou Xiaoxiang became the CEO of Shanda Literature, the head office of the starting point, and many authors are expecting this celebrity with a very beautiful resume and polite appearance to lead online literature into a high-speed development channel.
As a result, his first heavy punch was to hang out the 30 provincial writers' association 'seat work pk competition at the top of the homepage of the starting point, and Lu Yang saw that in the author group on his Q'Q, the unfamous writers expressed their disappointment.
Most of the writers and gods who have become famous are also silent.
Before he was reborn, when Lu Yang suddenly saw this propaganda at the top of the homepage of the starting point one day, he was also very depressed, and now he just wants to smile bitterly again.
This is probably the greatest sorrow of a layman leading an insider.
Hou Xiaoxiang is from an orthodox academic class, and he may not have read a single online novel before he became the CEO of Shanda Literature, and he probably instinctively thinks that a group of grassroots novels can make such a big momentum as a starting point, and move traditional novel masters to bring in will definitely achieve greater success.
As everyone knows, online novels and traditional novels are clearly distinguished, and they are not on the same path at all, and if everyone loves to read traditional novels, online novels will not be able to develop.
Not only was the 30 provincial writers' association chair invited by him to publish his works, but also Guo Jingshu's "Small Times" and Han Han's "His Country" were also brought in.
In addition, the newly established Shanda Literature is also waving checks to buy other novel websites, including many websites such as Hong's Sleeve Tianxiang, Xiao' Xiang Academy, and Rong' Tree. Some of these acquisitions have been completed, some have not.
In short, the huge investment in Shanda Literature, which was expected at the beginning of the starting point, was not used to accelerate the development of the starting point, but was used to do something else.
Sometimes, Lu Yang thinks: If all these funds were used as a starting point for development, perhaps, the starting point would have been dominating the online literature world, and would have occupied eighty or ninety percent of the online literature market, and there would be no chance for other websites to develop and grow, or even catch up.
Mr. Hou is still helping Shanda Chen build their envisioned pan-entertainment empire, and on October 2, Lu Yang came to the headquarters of Bookworm Reading.
This is his company, there is not much investment at present, and the personnel are not fully equipped yet, but the technical department has long been perfected, and after a period of hard work, the technicians have developed the software for bookworm reading.
Lu Yang sat in front of a computer, Shang Xuebin, the general manager of the company, and Cheng Xin, the head of the technical department, and others stood behind him, waiting for Lu Yang to evaluate the software after reading it.
This software is not a stand-alone store, like a mobile bookstore, there is a mobile version of the client, and there is also a website.
Lu Yang looked at it briefly, didn't say anything, picked up an Apple mobile phone next to the computer, and used this mobile phone to operate this software.
The mobile phone screen is only so big, it is destined to be the novel reading end on the mobile phone, and it is impossible to make it like a novel website, so that readers can find the novel they want to read on the small mobile phone interface, in hundreds of thousands, millions of book libraries, and the interface design of the mobile phone novel reading end is very important.
This interface design is naturally provided by Lu Yang, who has basically used various mobile phone novel reading software since 2013, and those versions are the result of continuous optimization by major companies.
This Apple mobile phone is Cheng Xin, the head of the technical department, and the bookworm reading has been installed in it.
Lu Yang clicked, and the bookworm reading opened, and the bookworm reading pattern was also provided by Lu Yang, the pattern was a thin little man holding a yellowed book pattern.
The software opened, first entered a simple page, the top of the page displayed the pattern of two books, behind the two book patterns, each with five dots, Lu Yang's finger swiped twice on the screen, and then changed to the cover pattern of the other two books.
Nodding slightly, Lu Yang's gaze moved downward, and below were two eye-catching options.
On the left is the entrance to the boys' works, and on the right is the entrance to the girls' works.
Below are some patterns of flowers and vines, and the homepage interface of bookworm reading is so simple, it is completely according to Lu Yang's requirements.
Lu Yang clicked into the boys' channel again, this interface is also simple, the whole interface is recommended by fantasy works, but there is a horizontal bar at the top of the page, and there are various options on the horizontal bar.
For example, Xianxia, urban, history, science fiction, military, competition, etc., the last more eye-catching option is the leaderboard.
Lu Yang clicked on the history, city and other categories to take a look, and then clicked on the ranking to see it.
Lu Yang's ranking is slightly different from that of other websites and mobile bookstores.
The best-selling list, click list, collection list, flower list, reward list, etc. are all similar.
But at the top of this page, which is full of various lists, there are several options, one is the Great God Zone, the second is the Famous Artists Zone, the third is the Fine Works Zone, and the New Works List and so on.
It can be said that with this software, Lu Yang synthesized the advantages of those mobile phone reading software he used before, and also added some of his own ideas.
This year, the starting point, the digital station, a certain horizontal and other original novel stations do not have their own mobile phone reading terminals, and there is only one mobile book city in the industry that does genuine mobile phone reading.
The eyes of original novel websites are still expanding the number of readers on the computer side, and Lu Yang has begun to lay out the layout by taking advantage of rebirth.
After trying this software on an Apple phone, Lu Yang thought for a while, and asked Cheng Xin to borrow the cheapest copycat smartphone from another employee - a bargain of a few hundred yuan.
Then asked Cheng Xin to download the software for bookworm reading to this mobile phone, and Lu Yang tried this software on this copycat machine.
Lu Yang knows that most of the people who read online novels are poor, and not so many people are willing to buy expensive Apple smartphones, and bookworm reading can only be easily operated on cheap copycat machines, so as to really attract a large number of readers.
As a result, Lu Yang found that the speed of bookworm reading on the copycat machine was a bit slow, and glanced at the size of the bookworm's reading - 12.4M'B.
"It's too big! Continue to compress the size of the bookworm's reading!Try to compress it to less than 6 megabytes!12.4 trillion is too much pressure on the memory of low-end mobile phones, and it is not convenient for software promotion! Can it be done?"
Lu Yang said to Cheng Xin.
The eyes of several people present fell on Cheng Xin's face, Cheng Xin nodded, and said, "Yes!
Lu Yang nodded.
After testing the bookworm reading that had just been developed, Lu Yang and Shang Xuebin came to Shang Xuebin's general manager's office, and the bookworm reading has been largely developed, and the next most important task is how to promote this software.
Although there is only one mobile bookstore in the market now, this competitor's natural advantage is too strong! It can not only be forcibly bound to the mobile phone launched by the mobile company, but also can be promoted through the channels of the mobile company covering the whole country.
If you want to grab food in the mouth of such a predator, without a special means of promotion, bookworms are destined to die without a place to be buried. (To be continued......)
