Chapter 101 The Hierarchy of Web Authors
Magic City, Gimhae Building.
Standing at the door of the towering and luxuriously decorated Jinhai Building, Jiang Bai's face was a little melancholy.
As a literary website, I don't actually choose an office location, as long as it is a place with access to the Internet, I can work.
However, in terms of forced considerations, some large websites will still choose more high-end places, which is also a way to show the strength of the website.
When Jiang Bai flickered Wutong to join the Daoyi Chinese network, he drew a pie that wanted to impact the hegemony of the industry.
In addition, he injected money boldly, and directly auctioned 100 million funds.
Therefore, when Wutong chooses the office location of the website, it is natural to choose a high-end location.
It's just that Jiang Bai never thought that Wutong chose to choose Jinhai Building as the office location.
"I was reborn here in my previous life, and I am here in this life, and I really have a relationship with this building.
Or buy it in the future and directly use it as the headquarters of Daoyi Culture. ”
Jiang Bai had thoughts spinning in his head and stepped into the building.
Eighteen floors.
"Mr. Jiang, you are here. Wutong stood at the elevator door to greet Jiang Bai.
Jiang Bai asked, "How's the talk?"
"It's basically settled, it's a contract, you see, if it's okay, you can sign it. Sycamore handed over a contract.
Jiang Bai took the contract and flipped through it, Party B of the contract is a mobile reading base, divided into four six, mobile reading base accounts for sixty percent, and Dao Yi website is divided into forty percent.
And in the forty percent of the Daoyi Chinese website, it is necessary to score three or seven points with the author, which means that the website only accounts for one percent and the author accounts for thirty percent.
"Not bad. ”
Jiang Bai nodded, he didn't think there was anything unreasonable, this is the market situation, whether it is the starting point or the horizontal and vertical, it is all signed like this, and Daoyi will naturally not be special.
After all, the current mobile market is dominant, the channel is king, and the original website can only choose to bow its head.
After the advent of the 4G era, various websites have created their own apps, and the mobile terminal of the online literature circle has also become diversified.
Whether it is Penguin Book City, or Qidian Reading, or Chapter Reading, they all occupy a considerable range of markets.
But in 11 years, there was actually only one so-called mobile market, which was the mobile reading base.
This is a super book city, including almost all the books on literary websites, countless small websites, basically living on this big tree.
Last year, the annual profit of the mobile reading base station was as high as 2 billion!
Shanda started the Cloud Bookstore project this year, hoping to take a share of the mobile market.
But in fact, until the entire Shanda culture is sold in the future, the so-called cloud book city is not comparable with the mobile reading base.
In 14 years, based on the mobile reading base, the establishment of Heyue became the most glorious moment of the mobile company in the reading market, when the annual profit was as high as 6.7 billion!
However, with the popularization of 4G, the rise of the own apps of various literary websites, and the reading without the support of their own original works eventually declined.
In October 15, He Reading reorganized Migu Reading and tried to build its own original literary website, but the general trend has gone, and it can only survive.
Jiang Bai signed his name at the signature of Party A of the contract, and then handed it to Wutong: "The contract will be sent to Hehe Reading, from today onwards, the books of Daoyi Chinese Network will be logged in and read together." ”
"This is a historic moment, with the situation of Daoyi Chinese Network, once it is on the mobile terminal, there will be an explosive increase in income, fame, and traffic. I don't dare to say beyond the starting point, but we may be able to become the second literary website in the industry!" Wutong said excitedly.
The revenue of the wireless side is very explosive, at least five times that of the PC side year-on-year, and the explosive models can even reach ten times or more than twenty times.
In the case of "Breaking the Sky", Tudou himself said in his previous life that when the average price of the PC side was 20,000, the average price of the mobile terminal was 1 million.
And in this life, Jiang Bai's "Breaking the Sky" has also exceeded 600,000 on the mobile side.
It is precisely such a terrifying equalization that can bring Jiang Bai millions of dollars per month, if he only subscribes on the PC, then he may not be able to save enough for the filming cost of "Slaying the Dragon" now.
In fact, Dou Po can have such a big reputation in later generations, and 80% of the credit is due to the achievements of the mobile terminal.
It was the mobile end that went forward and followed Xiaobai into the pit that pushed Dou Po step by step to the supreme position.
So don't talk about Zhongyuan Wubai's book, why is it always so naïve and brainless, this is determined by the market.
In Jiang Bai's view, online authors can be roughly divided into three levels.
The first level of authors is immature, they have not even mastered the basic writing skills, and they can't accurately express what they think in their hearts, and the reading experience of the written text is extremely poor, and the reader can't read it at all.
This kind of author is the lowest level of online authors, that is, what people often call street authors.
The second level of authors has initially formed their own writing style, they have a good study of writing, layout, and structure, and can express their ideas and concepts in a way that readers can accept, and then win the support of readers with similar ideas to him.
This kind of author already has the capital to beg for food in the field of online literature, and with the accumulation of time and experience, he can gather more and more fans, and he has the opportunity to become a god or a god in the future.
The third level of authors, the books they write do not actually represent their own thoughts, they study the market, what kind of readers in the market, they write which kind of books, which subject is popular, they write which theme, and always cater to the ideas of the majority of readers in the market.
The Central Plains Wubai is the author of this level, so in the golden age of online texts where the heroes rise together and the sky is arrogant, only the five of them are above all beings and obtain the personality of the supreme god.
Therefore, don't scold Zhongyuan Wubai's books for being naïve, that only represents the preferences of mainstream readers in the current market.
If one day, you feel that you can't read the books of Wubai, it can only be said that your preferences have been out of the mainstream market.
Of course, Xiaobai will eventually evolve into Lao Bai, which is the reason why novels with ideas and connotations are getting better and better in later generations.
However, for the time being, at least in the next ten years, the reading market will still be dominated by whites.
This point can only be seen from the completion of the later "The King's Life", the average subscription of the main station reached 130,000, and the average subscription of the wireless terminal was not more than 10,000.
Of course, "The King's Life" sold tens of millions of copyright earnings, which is not a loss, but it is another boxing method.
This is the reason why Jiang Bai has written three books in a row, but he has always insisted on Xiaobai's routine, and in the current market, choosing other themes, with his personality, is to kill himself!
