Chapter 348: The Way Out of Online Literature

"Mr. Hou, Editor-in-Chief Wang, Editor-in-Chief Long, Editor-in-Chief Zhang, please be seated." Li Haoyu pointed to the chair in the conference room.

Hou Lehong, the president of Mythology and Literature, and the editors-in-chief of its major sites immediately flew to the mountain city as quickly as possible after receiving Li Haoyu's instructions, and they were also a little apprehensive in their hearts. Although the main purpose of the net storm operation a few days ago is to suppress the entire mythical group, many problems have also been exposed on their various sites, especially some vulgar works are often recommended because they can make money, which is undoubtedly the main reason why the popular novels on their sites are blocked.

"Although this time the net storm action has ended, but our website has exposed a lot of problems, this time we invite everyone to come over mainly to let everyone speak freely, and put forward opinions and suggestions on the current problems in our Huaxia online literature industry." Li Haoyu went straight to the point.

The editors-in-chief of the major sites glanced at each other, and the editor-in-chief of the starting point, Long Hao, said: "Dong Li, many readers at our starting point now report that there are too many advertisements on the website and the quality of the server is too poor. ”

Li Haoyu didn't have much interest in this kind of thing, and waved his hand: "All the advertisements at the starting point have to go, and all the servers have been replaced with Lingyun enterprise-level servers, readers are here to read on the website, not to see ads, readers are consumers, and anything that affects the reader's reading experience must be removed!" The problem of money, if the starting point is not enough to apply for a grant for mythology and literature, the same is true for other sites, so that readers seem to feel comfortable in the city of the site, not to suffer. The same goes for other sites, which have recently started to update their servers to make the reading experience even better. ”

Hou Lehong said repeatedly: "As long as your application is reasonable, mythology and literature will not be stingy with funding, but this money must be used to improve the reading experience of the website." Long Hao's goal was achieved, and he said: "Mr. Hou, with funds, we don't need to use advertising to increase income, and we were forced to do so before!" ”

The editors-in-chief of other sites were very happy to see that they could apply for a fund, and with this money, the website could do better.

Li Haoyu said: "The problem of the website itself will wait for you to go back and make a list of things that need to be improved, and I will discuss with Mr. Hou and I will allocate funds to improve it as appropriate." Now let's talk about the problems of online literature itself, first of all, the problem of the proliferation of piracy, the second is the problem of online novels involving pornography, politics, or excessive violence, and finally the problem of improving the manuscript fees of online novel authors. ”

Wang Dongdao, the new editor-in-chief of Zongheng: "The problem of piracy is difficult to solve, Baidu is really not authentic in this matter, and the very popular books in the post bar have pirated chapters, and almost the author's front foot is updated, and the pirates will publish the pirated chapters into the post bar." In addition, when readers search for the name of a novel on Baidu, many times the first thing that appears is the content of the pirated website, which makes many readers think that the pirated website is the website published by the reader, which has caused huge losses to both our website and the author. In the end, it is estimated that Baidu's Duoku and Panda have also been hit hard in this net storm, and Baidu has lagged far behind us in the field of literary originality, and the chance to catch up with us is very small. So I estimate that it is impossible for Baidu to clear piracy, after all, these pirated websites can also bring Baidu a certain amount of revenue in terms of bidding rankings. ”

The editor-in-chief of Reading.com said: "Editor-in-chief Wang is right, piracy is a cancer of the Internet, but we have no way to completely eradicate piracy, only to crack down on piracy as much as possible and safeguard the rights and interests of authors." As for increasing the remuneration of online novels, the threshold of manuscript fees has been raised, so that the author will pay a certain amount of taxes and fees, which also increases the remuneration in disguise. ”

The editor-in-chief of the red-sleeved fragrance is an intellectual beauty in her thirties, she stroked the hair in front of her forehead and said: "I don't agree with the opinion of Editor-in-Chief Lin, since the starting point began to implement paid reading, it has been more than ten years now, but readers still read at three points per thousand words. Prices have risen many times in the past ten years, but the pricing of online articles is still so low, which is very unfair to the authors who work hard to code words at home. I think the price of online articles should need to be raised now, at least one penny per thousand words, that is, it takes 4 cents per thousand words to read, and a chapter of 3,000 words needs a dime and two cents, three cents more than before! ”

The editor-in-chief of Xiaoxiang Academy echoed: "I agree with Editor-in-Chief Li's suggestion that it should be time for the price of online literature to rise, and I think that all the sites of our mythological literature will increase their prices together, even if readers are dissatisfied, as long as we do a good job of explaining, I believe they can be understood." ”

Long Hao, the editor-in-chief of the starting point, said: "I agree to increase the price. ”

Hou Lehong, the president of mythology and literature, looked at Li Haoyu and asked, "Li Dong, what do you think?" ”

Li Haoyu nodded and said: "You can increase the price, just follow the suggestion of Editor-in-Chief Li to increase the price, four cents for a thousand words, and two cents for five hundred words." Well, in addition, all fiction sites can be considered the same as the starting point, and the implementation of five hundred words will start charging. Regarding piracy, I will discuss with Robin Li and Mr. Li of Baidu to try to reduce the chance of piracy of online articles. ”

Hou Lehong smiled: "Chairman, our online writers will be grateful for everything you have done for them." ”

Li Haoyu waved his hand and said: "I'm just moving my mouth, and the specific implementation depends on your execution ability." Now let's talk about the good and bad of many works in online literature, and there are many works with a strong subjective consciousness, which will have a certain impact on the reader's cognition. ”

Long Hao, the editor-in-chief of the starting point, said: "Chairman, I think the threshold of online literature can be raised, especially the threshold of signing and putting on the shelves. For novels with incorrect views, we can strengthen the intensity of supervision, once there is this kind of killing the whole family or the novel is too much to eat and there are inappropriate scenes for children, our editor-in-charge has the obligation to remind the author not to cross the line, otherwise our website has the right to remove their works from the shelves! ”

Wang Dong, the editor-in-chief of Zongheng, disagreed: "Editor-in-chief Long, but this kind of thing is popular in online novels nowadays, without these contents, readers may not be willing to spend money to subscribe, right?" ”

Long Hao retorted: "Editor-in-chief Wang, that's not what I said, what type of novels readers like to read is largely because of the guidance of our website itself. For example, 14 years ago, the most popular online text is the kind of little yellow text, the website sees that this kind of novel is very popular and desperately recommends this kind of novel, the author sees that this kind of novel receives the attention of the website, and there is also money to be made, so he swarms to write this kind of novel, so that later the net cleaning action was investigated a large number. If our website does not recommend this kind of novel, but recommends novels that win by plot, and cold-treats or even cracks down on novels that stimulate readers' hormones, will Xiaohuangwen become popular? ”

Wang Dongbei was speechless, pondered for a moment, and said: "Editor-in-Chief Long is right, I am paralyzed. ”

Other editors-in-chief also agree with Long Hao's opinion, rather than letting the clean network action that comes out from time to time be correct, it is better to check by yourself, which can also get support at the national level.

"Mr. Hou, if you want to clear the novels related to pornography and politics on a large scale, then the income of the website will definitely be greatly discounted, and our red sleeves are not profitable, so we will be in trouble, Mr. Hou, can you give us some financial support?" Editor-in-chief Li, who had red sleeves and fragrance, looked at Hou Lehong and said.

Xiaoxiang's editor-in-chief also said: "Mr. Hou, we are facing the same shortage of funds as Red Sleeves Tianxiang, and I hope we can be given some support." ”

The editors-in-chief of other literary sites also asked Hou Lehong for funds and cut down a big project that made a profit, and if there was no support from the headquarters, the website would easily be in trouble. Especially in the early days, it is necessary to give a certain amount of compensation to those authors so that their new works can continue to be published on this website, which requires money, a lot of money, and nothing can be done without money.

Hou Lehong looked at Li Haoyu pitifully, the others didn't dare to find Li Haoyu directly, so they looked at him, so many websites came together to ask for funds Mythology and literature can't be resisted, only hope that Li Haoyu can support it.

Li Haoyu said with a smile: "If the funds for mythology and literature are not enough, send a report to the headquarters, and the headquarters will consider allocating to mythology and literature as appropriate." ”

Hou Lehong breathed a sigh of relief, he felt relieved with Li Haoyu's words, and said to the editors-in-chief of various literary websites: "You have all heard the words of the chairman, you can report as much money as you need, anyway, if the funds for mythology and literature are not enough, I will ask the chairman to beg." ”

Everyone laughed out loud, full of confidence in the way out of this discussion of online literature, as long as there is a continuous blood transfusion of the mythical group, it can not only change the status quo of online literature, but even bring all the authors and paying readers of online literature in China under its umbrella and become the trust of the Chinese online literature industry!

Li Haoyu is also satisfied, online literature seems to be incompatible with games, but many of the works in it can be adapted into games, and there are many ideas worthy of adoption by the mythology group, as long as it is used well, the money for blood transfusion of mythological literature is not worth mentioning at all.
