Chapter 108 "Knight's Journey" is officially released!
The official release of "Chivalrous Journey" now has more possibilities for Ye Xing.
However, if it is only in essence, Ye Xing does not really have any hope of turning the tide in "Chivalrous Journey", he just has a little expectation.
For him, "Knight's Journey" is more about taking over the previous novels, not with much expectation.
This book, as long as he can keep the previous sales of "East Poster Edition" maintained, it will be very good.
Although there is no progress, there is no regression......
This is a pursuit of the print media in this era.
Ye Xing thought about it, but he didn't hide it, but summoned Li Kuo on QQ: "Li Kuo, I want to tell you bad news, the sales of our latest newspaper is 187,400, which is still a lot of gap compared to the base of 195,000, and according to what we said before, if it is still this sales, you can only get 80 manuscript fees for signing!" ”
"187,000?" Li Kuo pondered in his heart, and it really hurt a little.
This is a drop of 8,000 sales, and if it is an increase, it means 3,000 yuan.
3,000 yuan is nothing compared to the copyright fee of more than 600,000 yuan for "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant", but if you can get 3,000 each time you publish ten times a month, it will be 30,000 again, plus Li Kuo's income in Xinya.com, a month's income is already 60,000 or 70,000! It's very close to 100,000.
But now the problem is that the number of newspapers has dropped by eight thousand!
It's not easy to get back up, let alone break through.
It seems that you can only get 80 of the buyout manuscript fee, which is about 8,000 a month.
If Jin Yong's martial arts novels can only earn 8,000 a month...... Li Kuo's old face turned red, this is too embarrassing, right?
"Is there any chance of a rise now?" Li Kuo asked.
"That's definitely the case, it's not the first time we've seen a difference in sales by the thousands of copies, and it's normal to have a little bit of ups and downs. The main thing is to see if the content of the novel can be attractive, which is very important, and I believe that content is king. ”
Content is king and channel is king are usually controversial topics, but in fact, if the content is not good, no matter how good the channel is, it will still be so bad.
"The content is king......" Li Kuo said, "Then I still believe in my novel." ”
…… Soon, "Knight's Journey" was officially released on the second edition of "East Poster Edition".
Many people bought a newspaper and went on the bus, or read it while walking, or some people who squatted in the office put it on their desks and flipped it open, or some students bought newspapers......
Newspapers were sold, and many people read the book under different circumstances.
Huang Zhicheng is such a person.
He used to be a loyal reader of East Poster Edition, but over the years, as he got used to using the Internet, he gradually reduced his habit of reading newspapers.
Especially recently, he feels that "East Poster Edition" is not facing some problems because of the impact on the print media, but purely because the quality of the newspaper's novels has declined, which makes him a little reluctant to continue to pay attention to this newspaper and is unwilling to continue reading.
For example, these days......
He heard that the second section of "East Poster Edition" was about to release a martial arts novel called "Chivalry and Travel", and he felt even more uncomfortable.
In the past few years, Huang Zhicheng has been supporting "East Poster Edition" more in the hope of seeing some insightful and hugely appealing novels, similar to Li Kuo's "Ordinary World" in his original time and space, rather than martial arts novels......
Besides, even if this is for market considerations, in order to increase the sales of "East Poster Edition", then it should also use some novels that are more in line with the market, such as the more popular fantasy novels, what's the point of frying martial arts cold rice now?
Based on these thoughts, although Huang Zhicheng said that he had seen "East Poster Edition", the habit he had developed for many days no longer worked, and he did not pick it up and read it directly.
Huang Zhicheng usually reads newspapers when he is crowding the subway, buying a newspaper at the newsstand outside the subway station...... Today he is not going to buy it.
Huang Zhicheng walked along the road and was about to walk to the subway station, and he even saw the familiar gaze of the newsstand owner...... At this moment, Huang Zhicheng still tried not to pay attention to it, and walked straight over......
But after walking to the entrance of the subway, Huang Zhicheng still turned back quickly, and he still had no habit of getting used to this thing after all.
Besides, it's really boring on the subway, and he doesn't really want to use it even though he has a mobile phone.
"Boss! To this. Huang Zhicheng took a copy of "East Poster Edition", and then quickly flipped to the second edition: Speaking of which, he is still more curious about what martial arts novels are like, which has nothing to do with whether he likes martial arts novels or not, anyway, he just wants to see what it looks like.
At the beginning of the second edition of "East Poster Edition", there are a few big characters of Xia Kexing (serialized novel), and then Li Kuo's name.
Huang Zhicheng felt that the name Li Kuo was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but carefully, there are so many people with the surname Li in China, and it is normal for him to have heard of this name, so he didn't dig into it and continued to read it.
At the beginning of this novel, Li Bai's poem "Chivalrous Travel".
However, Li Bai's poem is not stored in the Chinese textbooks of junior and senior high school students, so it is impossible for Huang Zhicheng to memorize the rolling melon, so he took a look.
After reading the beginning of this ancient poem, the text also followed:
"Twelve miles from the east gate of Kaifeng, there is a small town called Hou Jianji. This town was named after Hou Huan. At that time, Hou Huan was the supervisor of the Great Liang Yimen. There is a mountain in the east of Daliang City, the mountain is flat, it is called Yishan, and the east city gate is called Yimen. The eunuch of Yimen is the caretaker of the east gate of Daliang......"
This is how the story begins.
"The writing is okay!" Huang Zhicheng's first feeling is this, indeed, the writing of this novel is honest, it is still more in line with his aesthetics, and Huang Zhicheng has read countless novels, and he thinks that good writing is naturally okay.
But writing doesn't mean it's good-looking......
Huang Zhicheng continued to look down, and soon saw the first thing that attracted him.
"Points? That's interesting! Huang Zhicheng has seen many different kinds of martial arts novels before, but he has never seen such a thing, so he feels quite strange at first glance, and this interest has begun to be aroused, and then the more he reads, the more he feels that this novel is quite interesting......
