Chapter 116: Controversy
Trolls are everywhere, and there are a lot of them on the Internet.
They may have suppressed their true selves in reality for a variety of reasons. As soon as you connect to the Internet, it will become a different look.
Cheng Xin's worst fears still happened. Her face turned pale, and she collapsed into her chair in a dejected manner, tears falling uncontrollably. Spend all your spare time drawing comics every day, and don't even have time to fall in love, in exchange for this is the result?
Drawing comics is tiring and hard work, and it takes Cheng Xin four hours to draw the content of a page. And she still has a job, so she doesn't have much time to paint.
More than ten pages of updates, it took her two or three weeks to complete. Others may finish it in less than a minute.
It is difficult for readers to imagine how much effort Cheng Xin spent to create his own work, and it is difficult to imagine how much of his personal time Cheng Xin sacrificed.
In order to draw comics, she usually has to work the normal eight-hour shift, and when she goes back, she has to draw for several hours, which means that she has to work all day except sleeping. Cheng Xin has never complained to anyone, nor has he used drafts to fill up the numbers like others. As long as her work can be seen and praised by everyone, she feels very happy.
But she didn't expect that the readers, who had paid a sincere treat, would scold her with such hurtful words.
"Cheng Xin, what's wrong with you......?"
The colleague was holding a kettle and looked at her in surprise.
Cheng Xin remembered that she was still in the company, and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes: "It's nothing, I just watched a Korean drama, it's very touching." β
"Oh. It's going to work soon, so you better turn it off quickly, so that the boss won't see it. β
"Good. β
Cheng Xin sniffed, and when he closed the web page, he accidentally skimmed the hurtful comment again. She forcibly endured her love and did not break out.
Cheng Xin carried the cup and poured water into it. She kept wondering, is it really worth sacrificing so many things in exchange for such readers?
"The water is overflowing!"
"Ah...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Cheng Xin hurriedly apologized, she was so sloppy, is today her unlucky day?
Returning to his seat, the information window suddenly flashed. It's a message from the three-body problem again. Look at the time, and it's almost time to check the subscription. Isn't it bad that he's come to complain?
"It's 560 all of a sudden, it's not a bug, is it?"
"560?subscription, yours?" Cheng typed in surprise.
"yes, I'll forget it. 560 subscriptions, 30P, I can get 134.4 yuan, this is still a one-day subscription! Wait, it's still rising! It's already up to 700!"
"So much?"
"yes, take a look at your backstage!"
"Oh, I'll take a look. β
Cheng Xin reopened the window and logged in. She went backstage and hesitated a little when she clicked to view. She was afraid that the three-body problem was just a special case, and she was afraid that she would have nothing.
Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and tapped the mouse lightly. Slowly, Cheng Xin opened his eyes, and the number displayed on the page was: "1566".
She's a little blindsided. Cheng Xin thought that he was afraid that he was going to eat zero eggs, but he didn't expect that there were more than the three-body problem!
After calculating with a calculator, Cheng Xin found that he could actually get an income of more than 200 yuan, and it was less than half an hour after opening the VIP.
In order to make sure that it was not a system error, Cheng Xin refreshed it again. I didn't expect the value to jump from more than 1,500 to more than 1,800. And the three-body problem also kept sending messages: "I'm up again, I'm up again!"
The group also continued to hear the news of the author of "Manjia". Many gods such as rotten butterfly blue have subscribed to ** thousand, and there are at least four or five hundred. Cheng Xin compared it in the group and found that he was actually the most divided among the authors.
And even Qing and the other few painters who opposed the fee are no longer bubbling, and I don't know if they have any regrets.
Putting down the calculator, Cheng Xin felt very satisfied. She lives in a small city, and her salary is only two or three thousand yuan a month, but now in half an hour, she has earned nearly two hundred or three hundred yuan.
This is undoubtedly a large amount of money for Cheng Xin, who has never made money by painting.
"A lot of people are scolding us. In the author group, one of the sub-authors said and sent a screenshot. The above is a newly registered user, and the evaluation content is even more vulgar.
"Let him scold, if you don't charge for it, I don't know if I want to make money from my comics until the Year of the Monkey. "The three-body problem is bubbling.
Webtoons can always be published by a handful at the top of the pyramid. Although the three-body problem comics have good results, there is still a lot of distance compared to the big ones such as rotten butterfly blue.
If he used the old model, he would not be able to make a profit even if he painted until he died.
"That's not good, after all, it's our readers. β
Three-Body Problem: "I don't even want to spend a few cents, and I'm embarrassed to call our readers." This kind of person, even if our comics are published, will he be willing to pay for it?"
Some people in the group were silent. When there is no charge, they feel that there is no difference between the reader and the reader. But after the fee is charged, the difference between paying users and non-paying users becomes apparent. Some people may not like their stories so much, but they just have free views to pass the time. Now I don't have to watch it, some just shut up and leave, don't say a word of nonsense, that kind of person is still very cute.
Only those who are particularly low will pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the mother.
But they don't want to think about it, if they go to a bookstore to buy a book, they don't have to pay to read it? Compared to physical books, webtoons are already incredibly cheap, but they don't want to pay for these few cents. Not only is he reluctant to come out, but he is also disgusting.
How can this make people comfortable?
If it weren't for the reputation of the website after signing the contract, many authors might just get into trouble with the trolls. But today is the first day of the implementation of the charging model, and the authors of the comic family are unwilling to give readers the stereotype that the authors of the comic family are a bunch of hooligans.
Fortunately, genuine paying readers quickly joined the opposition.
"The author has already painted so many for you for free, isn't it enough? It's just a few cents, and I don't even bother to pick it up if it falls on the ground. Is it difficult to support the author with a few cents?"
"I'm a student party and I don't have much money, but I support the author's ......"
"Luthor is Luthor, and you who say other people's garbage is trash!"
"You don't have to pay to buy comics? You don't have to pay to buy Blu-ray DVDs? You don't have to pay to buy figurines? Isn't it a natural thing to spend money on other people's labor?"
"I'll just ask in this building, the ...... How to recharge the overseas party?"
After all, "Manjia" is a paying user who accounts for the majority, so the people who scold the street are quickly wiped out in the vast sea of the people. But they didn't disappear, but felt indignant because they were scolded, and they slandered the charging measures of the "Manjia" on their necks and circle of friends, saying that they "got into the eyes of money".
The discussion about the "comic family" has grown visibly with the naked eye, and most of it is abusive.
People always like to follow the trend, especially those who follow friends who will express such opinions, most of them are the same themselves. Soon, the discussion about the "Manjia" began to swipe the screen in the scarf and the major circle of friends.
In their mouths, the "comics" model is simply useless, and it is useless except to push the reader to the outside station. Some people even released a prediction that within three months, the "Manjia" will inevitably go bankrupt, and if they don't go bankrupt, they will live broadcast and eat Xiang.
Not to mention the clichΓ© oath of eating Xiang in the live broadcast, many analyses really have some truth at first glance. The public opinion guidance on the scarf can indeed be used to predict economic events, and an economist once successfully used the cloud analysis on the scarf to successfully analyze the next stock market changes, and the accuracy rate is very high.
Now the reputation of "Manjia" is so bad on the neck, so many users scold him. In the eyes of industry insiders, it is proof that the "manjia" is unpopular.
Although some people feel that the charging model of "Manjia" has its merits, and also analyzes how much the website and the website author can get by carrying out this model for a long time, few people pay attention to their remarks.
For the general public, what is seen in front of them is reality. The "Manjia" is unpopular, so the "Manjia" will soon fail. The loss of readers, the bad reviews on the Internet, all indicate this.
