Don't look at these member writers of the Writers' Association, one by one, sitting here in such a glamorous meeting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But in reality, 90 percent of them can't support themselves by writing.

Some of them are paid as writers by the state, some are subsidized by some organizations, and some of them have other full-time jobs, and writing is just a hobby.

Only a very small number of people, like Sanyu, are bestsellers, and each book can sell more than 100,000 copies, and it is relatively prolific, and the books can sell well for many years, so that they can barely become a professional writer.

Otherwise, many writers will almost not make money by publishing books, and they will only earn tens of thousands of yuan in royalties if they work hard for three or four years to write a book of 200,000 words.

What's more, the books that have been worked hard to write can't pass the level of the publishing house, and in the end they can only publish them at their own expense, and they have to put money into them.

It is precisely because of this that when these writers saw that a book on "Volcano" sold a full 170,000 yuan in the last day and night, the sourness in their hearts can be imagined.

In particular, Li Beifang, the director of the Writers' Association, who just now insisted that the book on the "volcano" would not sell much, suddenly turned pale.

However, the corners of Zuo Ran's mouth turned up slightly, this is not over! She clearly knew that many of the people here had attacked the "volcano" with Qiu Ming in the first place, so she smiled and continued to click on the pages of other books.

"You can take a look again, this "Very Pure and Ambiguous" sold about 130,000 overnight. And this one, "The Law of the Devil" sold for 150,000 ......"

Okay!

After such an introduction, Lin Can released five or six books last night, except for the sequel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which has no charge, the other books are all two or three hundred thousand words, stuck at a very attractive point, and then forced the reader to recharge in order to continue reading.

Just about five books, the total sales in one night are nearly a million, and ...... The number of subscriptions is still rising every minute.

China's population of 1.3 billion people, because the Internet is not particularly developed, so there are not many Internet users, but there are 300 million or 400 million.

Because there is no piracy, the audience of "Volcano" is now all over the Internet. Therefore, it is normal for more than 100,000 people to pay for these books of his in one night.

Although this number startled Lin Can himself, after calmly pondering it, he knew that all this was just the beginning.

No piracy!

Netizen readers have a strong sense of authenticity!

The pricing is not high, only a dime or two per chapter!

It's also very convenient to pay, as long as the book is good-looking and attractive, do you still worry that readers won't buy it?

Astound!

Surprised!

Unbelievable!

Envy!

Eat one's heart out!

The writers of these writers' associations could never have imagined that writing a book could be seen by hundreds of thousands of people overnight, and tens of thousands of people spent money to buy it, which is simply ...... The Arabian Nights are fantastical.

However, someone did it.

This person is called "Volcano".

A writer who never plays his cards according to common sense, a writer who seems to jump out of a stone, and no one knows where it came from.

A copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" completely made him soar, and then he opened an online bookstore, delivering physical books to readers by courier.

Immediately afterwards, it started the trend of e-books, and created a network station on the Internet, publishing the content of novels on the Internet, allowing readers to pay for subscriptions according to chapters.

It's such a model that no one seems to be optimistic about, and it has achieved such amazing success.

A book with a total price of only five yuan, if there are 10,000 people subscribing on average, then it is an income of 50,000 yuan.

There are 1.3 billion people in China!

There are hundreds of millions of netizens!

If it is really possible to consume genuine subscription books on the Internet, then how big should this part of the market be? You know, the cost of e-books is close to zero! There is no need to have printing costs, sales costs, channel costs, etc., like physical printing, and the manuscript fee in the hands of writers is often less than one-tenth of the sales.

Selling books on the Internet, the income is 100%, and there is no need to deduct any costs!

As long as I thought about it, the writers who had just spoken out against the "volcano" suddenly became hot.

These self-confident literati are also full of copper coins.

Why not be able to get a high manuscript fee and make your work visible to more readers?

Even Li Beibei, who had strongly criticized the "volcano" just now, couldn't help but move in his heart at this time, and began to regret that he had impulsively and blindly attacked the "volcano".

"Today, Director Liu Qingyan entrusted me to nominate a person here to run for the vice chairman of the Writers Association this time."

Seeing that the writers in the audience had their own ghosts and ideas in their hearts, Zuo Ran mentioned it at the right time, "This person is" Volcano ", representative works: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and so on. ”

"What?" Volcano "wants to run for vice chairman of the Writers' Association? ”

"What a joke! Isn't this "volcano" not even a writer's association yet? ”

Could it be that this "volcano" is one of our members here? Who's it, come out quickly! It's really deep enough! ”

……

Zuo Ran's opening caused an uproar again.

Everyone didn't expect that Liu Qingyan would entrust Zuo Ran to nominate the vice chairman of the "Volcano" Writers' Association.

"No! Zuo Ran, you and Liu Qingyan are too nonsense. We don't even know who the "volcano" is, not to mention that the prerequisite for running for vice chairman of the Writers' Association is to first become a member of the Writers' Association. "Volcano" is not even a member, how can he run for vice chairman? ”

As the most powerful candidate for vice chairman of the Writers' Association, Li Beifang immediately opened his mouth and resolutely objected.

At the same time, he said to the chairman, who had been silent: "Chairman! These juniors are just messing around, let's talk about it! You are often absent from the Writers' Association, and many things have to be voted on and handled by several vice presidents, so how can you be so childish to hand over to a new writer of unknown origin? ”

However, at this time, Zuo Ran smiled slightly, held up a new member admission form of the Writers' Association that had just been passed last month and said, "Who said that 'Volcano' is not a member of our Writers' Association?" He's on this list of new members, last month...... He has joined our Chinese Writers Association ......"
