Weibo literature online has been online for a while, and there was no big move at first, but it was promoted on Weibo, attracting many readers to settle in, and now tens of thousands of new works have been put into the library.

The online literary world is very impetuous, and there are many works of eunuchs, half of which can be cut after writing tens of thousands of words. There are only a few works with good results that can persist in writing, and even fewer authors who work hard like cattle and don't care about income.

Many authors write books with enthusiasm, but if they persist for a few months at most, the enthusiasm will be ruthlessly extinguished by reality. Imagination is a very interesting thing, but it is very difficult and laborious to transform imagination into works.

If you want to make money, you have to write cool essays and routine essays, which is a very depressing thing for the author. When most authors first entered the industry, they didn't want to write cool articles, but they couldn't stop the torrent of the market.

Weibo Literature Network has broken the definition of online literature, and it is divided into popular channels and traditional channels.

If you want to get ahead in the popular channel, you must meet the elements of fast updates, fast rhythm, cool plot, and no urine spots.

Update at least 10,000 words a day, there must be a climax in the first three chapters, and a slap in the face in ten chapters... In order to rush up the library of Weibo Literature Network as soon as possible, the popular channel has just started to use various activities and bonuses to stimulate the author's crazy update.

Traditional channels are just the opposite, taking the "sadistic" route and having higher requirements for writing.

In the first three chapters, the protagonist's family and friends are all dead, and all kinds of bitterness and hatred are bitter and resentful...... This is an exaggerated example, in short, two extremes, but it is necessary to grasp the scale and rhythm.

To put it bluntly, popular channels require ninety percent of bitterness and one bitterness, and traditional channels require ninety percent of bitterness and one bitterness. No matter how abusive he is, the protagonist can't be abused all the time, and occasionally he has to pretend to beep, just like when Yang Guo also has scenery.

The subject matter classification of the two channels is the same, both have fantasy, fantasy, urban games, sci-fi, martial arts, and so on.

Both channels require a certain amount of creativity, and in this era of constantly launching new ones, it is difficult for a book to become popular without creativity. A creative work is like a unique scenic spot, which can always make people shine.

Judging from the current situation of Weibo Literature Network, the subscription of Shuangwen is undoubtedly higher, but there is also a certain market for abusive texts. According to the company's plan, the literature of traditional channels should take the route of publishing and adaptation, and it doesn't matter if the subscription is low.

"It doesn't matter to us, but for authors, it's hard to stick with without enough subscriptions and clicks. The number of works on traditional channels is only about 60% of that of popular channels. Jiang Zhisen said.

He is now the new manager of the editorial department, and Chen Cang has been promoted to editor-in-chief.

Although Chen Cang is young, he is the most knowledgeable about online literature in the editorial department, and he is in charge of popular channels. Jiang Zhisen is in charge of the traditional channel, and although he is a literary worker of the older generation, he is also very interested in literature such as fairies and ghosts.

"This is very normal, traditional channels have high requirements for writing, which brushes down a large number of authors. Not long after the website was launched, many authors did not know about the two channels, and it is estimated that many authors rushed into the traditional channel with the intention of writing an excellent work. When they react, I estimate that the popularity of traditional channels will drop a lot. Hang Yu analyzed.

"Most of the people who are willing to serialize their works online are young people, and how high their literary level can be. If a group of mature literary creators settle in the traditional channel, the channel can truly achieve its goal. Jiang Zhisen, as the person in charge of the traditional channel, was a little anxious when he saw the hot situation of the popular channel, after all, Chen Cang was his subordinate.

The performance is not as good as that of his subordinates, and Jiang Zhisen, the manager, has a bad look on his face.

"What can you do?" asked Hang Yu.

"I think it's important to distinguish the basic rules of the two channels, there is nothing to say about the popular channels, just learn the starting point. The traditional channel,First of all, the way of serialization every day is not suitable.,No matter how high the writing is.,If you have to rush to work every day.,The work won't be too good.。 I'd suggest changing to a word-count update instead of a time update. Jiang Zhisen said.

"Update by word count. Hang Yu said in surprise.

"Yes, for example, if you save 100,000 words and update them once, as for how long the author can write 100,000 words, that's none of our business. In this way, the author has enough time to ponder, revise, and strive to improve the quality of the work. Traditional channels have low subscriptions, and if you want to make money, you have to rely on publishing and adaptation, so it doesn't matter if the update interval is longer. Jiang Zhisen said.

Hang Yu fell into thought, he felt that this method was not very good, and he couldn't say what was bad.

He saw that Chen Cang wanted to speak and stopped, so he said, "Director Chen, what do you think, it's okay to speak out." ”

Chen Cang didn't want to talk about the mistakes of his superiors, but since Hang Yu asked, he could only bite the bullet and say: "If you do what Manager Jiang said, I estimate that it will be difficult to finish the books on the traditional channel." ”

"How long does it take to write 100,000 words? It takes about a month for a hand-wrecked author to write, and according to Manager Jiang's way of writing, I estimate that there will be a large number of cases where it will only be updated once every few months. And without timely feedback from readers, such as evaluating voting subscriptions, it is difficult for readers to stick to it. The number of authors who can put their hearts to sharpen a sword for ten years is too small to support a channel. Chen Cang said.

"That's the truth. Hang Yu nodded.

"It's better to update 50,000 words, or 30,000 words, once than every day. Jiang Zhisen said.

"No. Chen Cang said.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhisen looked at him.

Chen Cang glanced at Hang Yu first, and then said boldly: "In fact, as long as the editor strictly controls the writing requirements, the author will naturally write carefully, and there is no need to engage in such a rigid setting." You must know that some authors will save manuscripts and then send a few chapters a day, is it too stiff for others to save manuscripts and we are not allowed to update them every day. ”

Hang Yu nodded: "Makes sense." ”

Jiang Zhisen's face is not very good-looking, after all, he is a traditional literary editor, he does not know enough about online literature, and he does not know how online authors operate, so there is such a misunderstanding.

"Chen Cang, do you have any good solutions to the problems that Manager Jiang said?" asked Hang Yu.

"Manager Jiang wants to attract authors with high literary level to settle in traditional channels, and I think the key is welfare. You must know that a high level of literature does not mean that his works will definitely make money, unless we provide stable welfare protection, those authors who are pretentious will not enter online literature. But providing high welfare guarantees can certainly cost a lot of money. Chen Cang said.

Hearing the words pretentious, the corners of Jiang Zhisen's eyes twitched slightly.
