Chapter 67: The Direction of Online Literature
The short Spring Festival is over quickly.
Go to work when you should go to work, go to school when you go to school. In this society, everyone has to work hard, including Chen Jiayi, who was reborn. However, for students, the school will not officially start school until after the Lantern Festival, and Chen Jiayi still has a period of free time. But for the Tang Dynasty network, they are the busiest. There are many employees, and they have not gone home for the New Year in order to complete their two games. Seeing this, Chen Jiayi was also secretly grateful in his heart.
Dragon's Sky.
Recently, Chen Jiayi has not had time to pay attention to the sky of the dragon. Most of the cases just posted some chapters of the ethereal journey, and the web page was closed. Now that he was free, Chen Jiayi entered the sky of the dragon.
"Congratulations to the Chronicle of Gods and Demons, Lost Continent, Legend of the Knights, Published Traditional Chinese ......"
A large advertisement on the homepage of Dragon Sky reports the achievements made by the establishment of "Dragon Sky". In addition to the impressive achievements of the ethereal journey, it is also driven by this book that the sky of the dragon has moved to a higher starting point. After that, there were a lot of excellent works, which were deeply loved by Taiwanese publishers, and all of a sudden, Dragon Sky slowly developed from a small station to a mainland original station with publishing resources.
At this time, the sky of the dragon has comprehensively surpassed the original websites such as the Golden Book House, and it can be said that the current sky of the dragon is already the No1 in this field.
It just so happened that Chen Jia was on TT, and the general moderator of Dragon's Sky was also online. No, now the sky of the dragon is already a big station. The general moderator has risen to the position of webmaster.
When Chen Jia saw the news, he sent him a few words of congratulations.
"This is thanks to Chen Da's support, otherwise, the dragon sky would not have come to this point."
Duan Wei is the stationmaster of "Dragon Sky".
He didn't expect that the sky of the dragon, which was originally just opened up by uniting a few small websites, would come to this point. Nowadays, the online market has been basically mastered by the sky of the dragon. Now it can be said that there is no lover of reading on the Internet who does not know the sky of dragons. There is no one who writes novels on the Internet who does not know the sky of dragons.
In particular, under the fame of Ethereal Journey, the sky of dragons has also risen with the tide, and the website has recently received a large amount of venture capital. With the support of this fund, the dragon's sky is ready to go. Pushing the web out of the market and into the medium of publishing.
At this time, Duan Wei already had a big plan. In his vision, the future network market will definitely show explosive growth like the network market. And at that time, the sky of the dragon will really rise.
"After the sky of the dragon, it seems that it is going to take the publishing route?"
Seeing a large celebration hanging in the sky of the dragon, Chen Jiayi vaguely felt that even if he was reborn and had many things, he would still walk in the footsteps of history. For example, the direction of the future choice of the dragon sky.
"Chen Da is amazing."
For this, Duan Wei has nothing to hide. Nowadays, the interests of the website are all in the publishing area. As for other means of making profits, there aren't many ideas yet.
"Did Mr. Duan consider it, online payment?"
At this time, Chen Jiayi mentioned the VIP sharing system pioneered by later online novels.
"Have you thought about ......"
Duan Wei didn't expect that Chen Jiayi, as an author, would have such a clear understanding of the layout and direction of the website. Although Chen Jia said two sentences, if he is not familiar with the Internet and does not know the operation of the network, how can he ask such a question?
"It's just that, after we discussed, we rejected this plan."
At that time, after "Dragon Sky" received a domestic venture capital, Duan Wei and some other website founders held a website meeting. The main purpose of the conference was to discuss the future direction of the website.
In the past, everyone was an interest group, but now that the scale is getting bigger and bigger, the website will definitely be commercialized in the future. And how to commercialize it will be discussed at this time.
At that time, there were two paths in front of the dragon's sky, one was the network payment fee.
That is, the VIP sharing fee system of later generations. This system was first proposed in the forum for a hobbyist "Bao Jianfeng", and the main founders of Dragon Sky thought it was very good, but after Dragon Sky became bigger and stronger, they found out. It is a huge problem for this system to make readers pay on the Internet. Moreover, even if there is some hardcore support, the profit achieved is minimal.
There are many reasons why this is so.
In their discussions, just as Internet software is now afraid to charge.
Network information technology, in the eyes of many people, is shared for free and open source. This makes many netizens not have the idea of paying. It's like instant messaging, if you charge for it, the devil will use yours. Therefore, Duan Wei and other main founders thought about it for a long time and finally gave up this plan.
Then, the second option is the direction of publishing.
Fortunately, under the fire of the ethereal journey, the dragon's sky was unbeatable for a while. With the ethereal craze, many Taiwanese traditional publishing companies have cast their eyes on the sky of the dragon. In this way, the direction of publication has also found a real profit point for the sky of the dragon.
"Well, I see."
History still walks in the same direction.
Chen Jiayi wanted to talk to him in detail about the VIP sharing system, but then he thought about it, Dragon Sky is no longer a personal website. Judging from the current situation, the direction of the dragon's sky has been determined. Even if you say it yourself, it is impossible for a company to change its policy for the sake of its own opinions.
Even if it's wrong, after the decision is made, it must be executed.
This kind of execution ability, above a company, must be reflected. Moreover, in their eyes, this path of publishing is not wrong. At least, now the dragon's sky has found a real profit point, and now it seems, it seems to be very good.
In fact, Dragon Sky chooses the direction of publishing, and it seems that it can make a profit in the short term. However, in the long run, he will definitely hinder the development of originality. The reason for this is that the threshold for publishing is still very high. Even if there is an occasional online publication, it is not comparable to that of ordinary authors.
In this way, without any profit, it will kill those middle and low-level writers. As a result, the number of networks will become scarcer and scarcer. The market is no longer going to be bigger, but it is getting smaller and smaller, and it is difficult for authors to survive.
No matter how big their interest is, when they are faced with a living situation, they will also choose eunuchs.
This is also the reason why the "dragon sky" fell in later generations.
Just when Chen Jia sighed, he suddenly found that on the TT avatar, the sword was in M.
