Beijing, China Writers Association. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Some writers' members are discussing the question of who will serve as the vacant vice chairman of the writers' association after Qiu Ming's death. At the same time, everyone also saw some of the works and novels of "Volcano", especially the paid reading mode that "Volcano" opened on today, and they also discussed it at the meeting.

"Isn't that nonsense? Publish all the content of the novel on the Internet, and then let the reader pay to read it? Who does he think he is? How could a reader buy it? Just pay to see it once? ”

The person who is talking is Li Beifang, the director of the Writers' Association, whose pen name is also called Beibei, he is not young, he is almost 60 years old, and he is a friend of the late Qiu Ming, the vice chairman of the Writers' Association. At the same time, he is also the most powerful contender for the vice chairman of the Writers' Association this time.

Therefore, his impression of "Volcano" is also extremely bad, and today he happened to be in the compound of the Writers' Association, and he happened to criticize the "Volcano" to create this and paid reading model.

"Elder Li, you'd better not make assertions. I think Volcano must have a reason for doing this. Moreover, this will make readers pay to read the author's book on the Internet, maybe ...... It's also a good way, isn't it? It can effectively deal with the sluggish sales of paper books! ”

However, Sanyu, who was sitting opposite Li Beibei, stood up and argued with reason.

"Huh! Xiaoyu! You're still too young, look at ...... What kind of strategy is this? A novel of 2,000 words and a chapter only sells for a dime! What can you do with a dime? We're writers, not for food, aren't we...... Do you want all the readers to give me alms? ”

Seeing Sanyu speaking for the "volcano", Li Beifang immediately became unhappy.

"When Volcano wanted to sell books on the Internet, no one was optimistic about it. But now! Many publishing houses are begging to cooperate with Volcano's Taobao to sell books, otherwise...... I'm afraid they won't survive next year......"

In fact, Sanyu was very tired of sitting here in a meeting with a group of old pedantic writers, but today was an important meeting for the selection of the vice chairman of the Writers' Association, and she had to come.

However, when he heard someone say bad things about "volcano" at the meeting, Sanyu naturally couldn't help but refute it.

"Elder Li, I think what Xiaoyu said is very right. Don't look at this chapter, it's just a dime a dime. If you think about it, what if a thousand readers pay? Isn't a chapter selling for a hundred? What if it's 10,000 readers? It's a thousand, what about 100,000 readers? ”

Zuo Ran, who was on the side, immediately supported Sanyu and retorted, "Doesn't it cost us a lot to sell a book for more than ten yuan?" Isn't it brought up by sales? ”

"Zuo Ran, but you have to know that not many readers will pay for an e-book to read once. This is not a paper book, you can buy it and read it at home, read it as much as you want, and give it away......"

Li Beifang, whose concept is still very old-fashioned, snorted coldly, slapped the table and shouted.

"Really? Elder Li, come ...... Please look at the big screen over here, and all of you here. Take a look at the big screen, and here's how many people have subscribed to a fantasy novel called "Breaking the Sky" in Volcano......"

Zuo Ran, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately turned on the computer projection used for the meeting, and casually clicked on one of Lin Can's books.

It happened to be the highest subscription to "Breaking the Sky", and suddenly, the number of clicks and subscriptions on it were all displayed in front of the computer screen.

Hits: 13456324

Average subscriptions: 56632

Maximum number of subscriptions: 74,234

Seeing these figures, the writers present were a little stunned.

However, they still don't quite understand what the numbers mean.

So, Zuo Ran said with a smile: "Originally, today's data should have been explained to everyone by Director Liu Qingyan, but unfortunately, she was absent from today's meeting because of the company's affairs. So, I've asked you to explain what these numbers mean......"

Pointing to these numbers on the slide, Zuo Ran began to explain: "The number of clicks, everyone should know, is actually how many times this novel has been clicked by many netizens. It's no different from the number of clicks on a post on a forum, and the more than 10 million clicks are just a few days and a night, isn't it amazing? ”

just said the number of clicks, and Zuo Ran saw that the writers below were all a little dumbfounded.

Many of them are mixed with online forums and know what clicks are all about.

Usually, when they post a new book, they try to put some great excerpts on a forum on the web. If you can click more than 10,000 clicks, it will be enough to show off to some writer friends.

And Volcano's "Breaking the Sky", the number of hits has exceeded 10 million, or in a day and a night, which is simply a bit too amazing.

"The number of clicks doesn't really mean anything, after all, no matter how many clicks you have, you can't get money."

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zuo Ran was very satisfied, and continued to point to the subscription number and said, "So, what data can represent sales?" You can look at this average subscription, as the name suggests, this represents how many readers of Volcano's "Breaking the Sky" have bought.

The highest subscription refers to the number of people who subscribe to a certain chapter, but in fact, to look at sales, you also need to look at the average subscription. The subscription to the book Volcano is more than 56,000, let's count it according to 50,000! Then the VIP paid chapters are at least 3,000 words a chapter on average, and according to 3,000 words, a chapter is also a dime and a half, and there are not many VIP chapters currently released, only 60,000 words, which is equivalent to about 20 chapters.

In other words, a reader needs to spend only three yuan to buy a subscription. Then, 56,000 readers subscribe, that is, the sales of one day is 168,000 yuan. ”

After a series of calculations, the writers who are not very good at mathematics are dizzy. However, in the end, the sales of 168,000 yuan that Zuo Ran said made their hearts shake.

"What? Sold for nearly 170,000? ”

"How is this possible? It's just put on the Internet for readers to see, how can it sell so much in one day? ”

"Isn't it going to be nearly a million a month? More than 10 million a year? ”

"A chapter is only a dime or two cents, how can it be sold for 170,000 yuan?"

……

Suddenly, the writers sitting below immediately exploded, they had published a book in several years, selling fifty or sixty thousand copies, and the most they got was tens of thousands of yuan. However, the volcano has already sold several times more on the Internet in one day than their achievements in a few years!
