Chapter 173: Unexpected Surprise! (Ask for a subscription!) )
At the beginning of October 2003, the starting point Chinese network can be said to be a mess, a hundred wastes waiting to be rebuilt, to put it mildly, the starting point Chinese network has almost reached the verge of bankruptcy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the starting point, there is no battle of the great god's monthly pass, let alone a reward function for local tycoons to squander, and even the member VIP has not yet been opened, naturally there will be no member weekly clicks, and other traditional Chinese websites such as Phantom Sword Book League, before the starting point is still the road of novel publishing, or novel buyout.
In October 2003, the founders of the far-sighted starting point have long been committed to the excavation and cultivation of original literary authors, and in October 2003, they took this opportunity to create a new model of online paid reading, that is, electronic publishing.
This is a historic attempt, but also an adventure!
At least, in Chinese mainland, no online literary website has dared to break the traditional convention, and in the era of literary piracy, opening the novel charging model for readers on the Internet is tantamount to a "death" choice for self-destruction in the eyes of insiders and laymen.
Not to mention a literary website with a foundation like the Phantom Sword Book League, even a large number of authors who write books are looking at this starting point VIP signing plan with a wait-and-see, skeptical, and even angry attitude.
As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food.
Are these authors stupid and don't want to make money?
Of course not, they must also want to make money by writing books on the Internet.
The reason why they will quit the starting point is that, on the one hand, other websites attract new people from the starting point, which leads to a sharp decrease in the readership of the starting point, leading to a vicious circle; On the other hand, because of the author's own short-sightedness and conservative stubbornness, he does not dare to choose to believe that writing books on literary websites can also make money by charging fees.
Most Chinese, keen to join in the fun, often do not dare to try to be the first person to eat crabs, they are afraid of death, afraid that crabs are poisonous, and after others test the poison, they rush forward to get a piece of the pie.
Therefore, in October 2003, most of the online novels at the starting point are mainly based on games and other genres, and the level of the author is also extremely limited.
There are still a few days left before it hits the shelves.
In order to get good results as much as possible when it is put on the shelves, Lin Yang basically maintains the daily update of "Knife Shattering the Sky" at more than 10,000 words.
At dusk that day, as usual, Lin Yang sat in front of the computer of the "Speed Internet Cafe" again.
Speed Internet café in Meicheng City, is a relatively low-grade Internet café, divided into two floors, only more than 100 machines, the second floor is slightly smaller, and it is obviously more dilapidated, only more than 20 machines.
The speed Internet café is filled with disgusting gray smoke, computers are densely packed next to each other, tables are covered with oil stains, cigarette ash, snack scraps, and clumps of toilet paper sticking to the snot under your feet, which makes people sick to their stomachs in the dim light of the Internet café.
The reason why Lin Yang chose to surf the Internet in the "Speed Internet Café" is purely because he will not meet acquaintances here.
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
This time, Lin Yang really couldn't stand it, and he planned not to come to this dirty "speed Internet café" in the future.
After coding 5 chapters of the novel in a row, Lin Yang stretched his waist, manipulated the mouse, and retreated from the author's backstage, and then he carefully browsed the page of "Knife Shattering the Sky".
Total hits: 53568
Weekly hits: 13856
Total Recommendations: 3387
Weekly recommendation: 1053
Total Word Count: 166784
Collection: 3506
In the face of such bland data, Lin Yang did not feel hesitant, he knew that all this had just begun.
"Didi ......"
The QQ avatar in the lower right corner of the computer screen suddenly lit up.
Lin Yang's first reaction was the QQ message sent by Liu Limin, so he operated the mouse, clicked on it and looked at it, but found that it was the message sent to him by the editor-in-chief of the starting point, Bao Jianfeng.
Bao Jianfeng: "Try to update slowly, save more manuscripts, and then make an explosion after it is put on the shelf."
Lin Yang looked dazed, "popped and clicked" on the keyboard, and replied to the message: "Lord Editor-in-Chief, the novel will be on the shelves in two days, I want to strike while the iron is hot, and use the form of explosion to win over book friends."
After a while.
Bao Jianfeng: "How many manuscripts have you saved?"
Lin Yang thought about it and decided to deliberately conceal his true manuscript, so he typed a sentence: "About 100,000 words."
"Not bad! I hope you can keep up the good work. In the past two days, you can update 5,000 words a day, don't change more, in case you need it, remember. ”
Lin Yang could only agree, he could understand the editor-in-chief's good intentions.
In the first half of 2003, before the starting point did not open a VIP subscription, there were no real professional online writers in Chinese mainland, and the word "explosive" was still relatively new.
Whether before or after, online novels are called "eunuch literature".
Eunuch literature is a dark spot unique to online literature.
Since Lin Yang first started to get in touch with online literature, it is no surprise to now. Regardless of the quality of the eunuch's works, it is difficult not to make people make a big deal about it if they are not serious and irresponsible.
Although Lin Yang himself is the author, he also has a deep hatred for eunuch literature, after all, every author comes from the reader.
In fact, many times as a person, you must also learn to empathize.
No one intended to become a eunuch with their own handwritten work, but for some reason it had to be interrupted.
Some reasons can be said, and the book friends will forgive and continue to support as always. There are some reasons that cannot be or cannot be said, the author has become the object of complaint by supporters, this situation can neither be explained nor explained, and it is impossible to redress grievances, and few people can continue in an environment where groups rise up and attack, and it is helpless to make the work a eunuch.
There are many reasons for the eunuch of the web novel.
One is because of work, the second is because of the body, the third is because of emotion, the fourth is the lack of talent and responsibility, the fifth is because of time, and the sixth is because of people who write completely on inspiration and passion......
There are countless reasons for eunuchs in online novels, but the most critical and practical and fundamental reason is because there is no money to be made!
Lei Feng died, so he became a god.
No one is really willing to be a living Lei Feng, everyone has to eat, there is no profit and tiring work, who is willing to selfless dedication? There is no filial son before the bed of a long illness, let alone writing online novels?
In short, book lovers should look at online literature (eunuch literature) with a normal heart.
Although eunuch literature is a score of online literature; If we regard eunuch literature as an alternative kind of suspense, we will not be able to ignore it; Browsing online literature has become a fashionable way to relax.
Sometimes, regret is also a kind of beauty?
Isn't it?
"Didi ......"
"Are you there?"
A gray duck avatar flashed in Lin Yang's QQ friend column.
Lin Yang looked down, the screen name was "Li Sihuo", and the owner of this QQ was Li Yi.
Lin Yang hesitated for a moment and did not immediately reply to Li Yi on QQ.
To put it mildly, Lin Yang and Li Yi are both fellow villagers in the same village, plus they are classmates and buddies, and now they are still studying in the same city, and the contact between them is inevitably frequent.
You must know that in Zhushi Village, where the palm is bigger, you can't hide people with a little wind and grass, Lin Yang didn't go home, Li Yi naturally knows, even if Lin Yang doesn't say it, Xie Guanbao They will also know, if he replies to Li Yi now, he also directly admits the fact that he doesn't go home on National Day, but stays in the Internet café to surf the Internet.
After all, he is still a student, and Lin Yang doesn't want to be labeled as an "Internet addicted teenager" one day.
"Lin Yang, is it not online? There's something urgent! ”
Lin Yang looked at the message Li Yi sent to him, dumbfounded......
Really? What about bluffing me?
Whether it was true or not, Lin Yang was still frightened in his heart.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!
What he is afraid of is not that Li Yi is looking for an urgent matter for him, he is afraid that there is an urgent matter at home.
It seems that Li Yi is determined to force himself to show up.
Lin Yang gasped and hurriedly sent a message to ask, "Here, what's wrong?"
After a while.
Lin Yang sent several messages in a row, but Li Yi on the other side did not move.
After waiting for a long time, Li Yi finally made a "snickering" expression.
"Sure enough! I guessed you kid was surfing the Internet in an Internet café! Also deliberately stealth! Is it at the Star Internet Cafe now? ”
"Don't make a fuss, what's going on?"
"Something!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"I told my mother that you didn't come home on National Day, and she knew about it and asked me to call you to my house for dinner, and I want to invite you to eat something good you've never eaten tonight."
"Damn! That's just a little thing...... It made me break out in a cold sweat. ”
"Haha, whoever told you not to reply to the message, I called your dormitory, and no one answered after calling for a long time."
"Okay, what the hell is your mom going to treat me to eat?"
"If I don't tell you, you'll find out when you come here."
My sister-in-law wants to treat me to something I've never eaten before?
Is there anything good I haven't eaten? Delicacies?
Lin Yang couldn't figure out what he hadn't eaten even if he wanted to break his head......
Is it the ginseng fruit in Journey to the West, or shark fin, or the legendary big abalone?
Lin Yang didn't dare to think about it, after all, people were rich.
