Chapter 150: Mobile Reading
"Bai Da, thank you for taking the time to come to the Demon Capital. ”
At the end of the writing experience sharing, Huang Yifan was invited by several editors to a teahouse near the Nina Hotel for tea.
At this time, sitting next to Huang Yifan were the editor-in-chief "squad leader" and the editor-in-chief 314. and Lin Tingfeng, one of the founders, whose pen name is also Bao Jianfeng, is the first generation of Internet authors in China. Later, because of his love for online novels, he was founded with Heart of Darkness and others.
At this time, the leader of the 7 group editor-in-chief made tea for everyone, but he said to Huang Yifan.
"Yes, this writing bootcamp will probably be the most successful one we have ever had since the bootcamp began. ”
314 on the side also said, "We really admire Bai Da for what is in your head, and why there are so many yy ideas." You know, when I listened to you share your writing experience, I almost had a feeling of worship. Your thoughts really open our minds. ”
"Hehe, you're welcome, it's just that I think about it every day, and I've read too many novels since I was a child, so I can't help but think of these messy ideas. It's just a small idea, it's not a big deal, the two editors are exaggerating. ”
"No, no, no, it's not an exaggeration at all. Bai Da, tell you. Maybe you don't realize what you're talking about, but maybe it's just an idea in your eyes. But, in our eyes, some of these ideas. Even if it's just a micro-idea, it can still drive a trend. If a website breaks out from time to time with these creative works, even if it does not have as many great gods as Phantom Moon, it can still attract countless readers. ”
"Yes, Bai Da. Zenk also mentioned it in the meeting before, if Bai Da has some ideas in the future. If you don't write it yourself, it's better to send it privately to an author you know better. Of course, it's better to start with the author. ”
Although there is some embarrassment in saying this, for the sake of the website, the editor-in-chief 314 still said it again.
"Don't worry, I still like the starting point, and I hope that the starting point can get bigger and bigger. ”
"Then thank you Bai Da, come, come, come, drink tea. ”
said, it was another tea ceremony for Huang Yifan.
"By the way, Bai Da, this time please come to our starting point, in addition to the writing bootcamp, there is another good news to share with you. ”
After drinking a cup of tea, the squad leader said again.
"Oh, and good news?"
Huang Yifan was stunned for a moment, as if he thought of something, "It won't be that the travel expenses will be reimbursed." ”
Plop Chi.
Plop Chi.
Plop Chi.
Three slapping voices rang out.
Huang Yifan's sentence was poor, and the three editors in charge squirted out half of the tea on the spot.
"Bai Da, you are so humorous. ”
"Bai Da, I'm convinced. ”
"Bai Da, don't you know that the writing training camp originally reimbursed travel expenses?"
"Ah, there's a reimbursement. ”
Hearing the reimbursement, Huang Yifan was a little dumbfounded.
Seeing Huang Yifan's wry smile, the team leader slapped his face, but he understood, "I said why didn't Bai Da come to the magic capital by plane." It turns out that you don't know that the round-trip fare is reimbursed, and we waited until more than 2 o'clock in the morning at the hotel. However, Bai Da, you are a great god in the eyes of others, how can you come by train. Even if we don't pay for the journey, you can afford to fly. ”
"There's a ghost money, the previous villain was deleted by you, and the current school flower hasn't been put on the shelves yet. It's all up to the readers' food, and it's only been a long time since the school flower was released, and the money hasn't been received. Plus recently bought a computer to play lol.,Where do you have the money to take what plane.。 ”
After complaining, several editors instantly said, "Bai Da, don't worry, we will notify the finance after we go back and settle the manuscript fee for you in advance." ”
"That's great. But what good news did you just say?"
"I was so interrupted by you, I almost forgot about it all of a sudden, so let's let Mr. Lin talk about it. ”
Mr. Lin is naturally Lin Tingfeng.
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Tingfeng said, "Huaguo Mobile is preparing to launch a novel reading service in the near future, and using their channels, our novels can also be logged in Huaguo Mobile so that more readers can see them." ”
"Wow, that's really good news. ”
Knowing the horror of mobile reading in later generations, Huang Yifan is also extremely looking forward to it.
"It's good news, but it's a big challenge for us to get started. ”
"How?"
"As you know, the current market is the largest in the Phantom Moon, followed by Lianheng. These two websites, both in terms of the size of the author and the number of works, occupy more than 7% of the market. Although our starting point is one of the three major websites in China, it only occupies 2 percent of the share, and the remaining 1 percent is scraped by other small websites.
Because of the small share, when we cooperate with Mobile, the right to speak is relatively small, and the mobile side only promised to let us recommend a few works to the mobile side to try the effect. If the sales are good, we will increase our recommendation in the future. But if the effect is not good, then our share of mobile will be less and less in the future. Previously, we launched the works of Traceless and others, and the effect was very average. This time, we are going to recommend your school flower to Huaguo Mobile and see how it works?"
Speaking of which, the three editors all looked at Huang Yifan.
"It seems that this is indeed a big challenge. ”
However, Huang Yifan is a little strange, isn't he just going to push the novel he wrote to the Huaguo Mobile Reading Platform, why bother to tell himself so ceremoniously, and come here to drink tea. There is another point that also makes Huang Yifan a little puzzled, why should he tell him as the author of the competition between the starting point and the phantom moon?
"Three editors, do you have anything else to tell me?"
After thinking about it, Huang Yifan said.
"I didn't expect you, Bai Da, to be so smart. ”
All three sighed.
It was the squad leader who spoke, "Okay, I'll tell you this, it's actually nothing. This content has nothing to do with you in the first place, as an author, you just need to write a novel with peace of mind. However, we all feel that you are different from other authors, so we wanted to talk to you. Of course, the reason why I will tell you this is that I want to take this opportunity to tell you about our future arrangements. We plan to hype up your identity as a teenager author in the media, of course, this is just a means, in fact, it is also to launch your new book on the side of Huaguo Mobile, so that the school flower can be a hit in Huaguo Mobile. ”
"Just like the media hyped Guo Cheng and Han Jin back then?"
"Yes. ”
"I'm sorry, I refuse. ”
At this time, Huang Yifan finally understood what the three editors were talking about this time.
It's nothing more than trying to regain some of the market by being on the side of Huaguo Mobile, but there are some worries that the book of Xiaohua is like their work without a trace, and it will perform well on the Huaguo Mobile reading platform. So, I thought of another hype plan like a teenage genius. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. If it's another author, it's not in a hurry to be happy. Some people want to package themselves, some people want to promote themselves, where to find such a good thing. It's a pity that Huang Yifan had some strange things and shook his head directly.
"Why?"
Several editors were also surprised, they didn't expect Huang Yifan to refuse.
The starting point is to help the author promote it for free, although the ultimate goal is to use it for their own website, but in itself, the author of the novel also benefits a lot. Even, in terms of short-term effects, it is possible that the benefits of the author of the novel will exceed that of the website. However, it was such a good thing, but they didn't expect Huang Yifan to refuse.
"I'm sorry, I don't really like to be in the spotlight, I just like a quiet codeword. I deserve the fame that I have gained by this hype. I appreciate the kindness of the three editors, but I don't like it. ”
All of a sudden, several people became silent.
"Bai Da, think about it again, this will benefit you and do no harm. ”
"I know. ”
Huang Yifan nodded again, "Don't get me wrong, editors, I didn't doubt what you meant." On the contrary, I still like your website. Including, you guys can come up with such an idea. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have accepted it a long time ago. But I'm a weird person, and I like to drill the horns. I always feel that this kind of author who becomes famous by hype is like an entertainment star, and he has no confidence. Why don't you consider changing the book or promoting another author who is more topical, I think it's okay. ”
……
The writing bootcamp lasted only two days, and at 2 p.m. the next day, several editors put Huang Yifan on a plane.
"Captain, did you tell him to think about it again?"
314 asked the squad leader.
"Already asked. ”
"What did he say?"
The squad leader shook his head, and several people didn't speak again, and they all knew the result.
"Mr. Lin, do you want to change the topic of the author to hype, Huaguo Mobile is our last chance. ”
The squad leader suggested.
It's just that Lin Tingfeng didn't answer, looking at the plane flying in the sky through the window.
