Chapter 36 First Sight of Hua Shaoxiong
() Hero.com, the first novel website in the Yanhuang Empire to provide online reading. As for the nature of this website, Yu Wenle feels that it is similar to a certain point of the person in his head, and it also attracts many readers to pay to read it.
It's just that compared with the novels of various themes on a certain point network, most of the main novels on Hero Network are romance and martial arts novels. Other types of novels, which are similarly not very involved, also attract many young people to write.
deliberately took a day off, Qin Xiaoyi of Wuxia Weekly, personally took Hua Shaoxiong, the founder of Hero Network, to the seashore to discuss the signing of the contract and the settlement of the hotel.
Seeing Yu Wenle for the first time, he asked Hua Shaoxiong, who has been engaged in writing work for many years, and was also surprised: "Wen Shao? ”
Facing Hua Shaoxiong's surprise, Qin Xiaoyi, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "Mr. Hua, how is it?" Surprised, right? ”
On the other hand, Yu Wenle said very politely: "Mr. Hua, if you don't mind, it's better to call me Wenle." This name is just my pen name. Besides, I chose this name just because I hope that I can always be humble in my creation.
It's a pity that you all seem to like it, and pronounce the word 'less' as the young master's 'less'. But my original intention is how much 'less'! I think Mr. Hua should see that I am not a rich and wealthy aristocratic family, right? ”
Listening to Yu Wenle's answer, Hua Shaoxiong also smiled and said, "Okay! Then I'll make a big deal and call you Brother Yu. To be honest, although I run a fiction website, I also buy your novels and watch them in a weekly magazine! ”
Qin Xiaoyi, who was standing aside, quickly smiled and said, "After today, I don't think Mr. Hua will have to wait." It's just that in this way, you Jiangnan Martial Arts Weekly, I'm afraid that you will lose a lot of loyal customers. ”
After the three of them exchanged polite words, Yu Wenle and Hua Shaoxiong didn't say much about the cooperation agreement they had negotiated before. Knowing that Yu Wenle was preparing to be admitted to Jiangnan University, Hua Shaoxiong also felt very happy.
said with a smile: "It seems that in the second half of the year, Brother Yu and I should be able to drink tea and chat often." I heard from Editor-in-Chief Qin that you are very optimistic about the future of online reading. Can you share your insights? ”
In response to such an inquiry, Yu Wenle waved his hand and said: "Mr. Hua, you are an expert in this area regarding the future trend of online reading. I usually pay attention to this information, but I don't know much about it.
As for my optimism about the future of online reading, I just think the way young people choose to read has changed. In particular, with the rapid development of the imperial Internet, online literature will also be recognized by more and more people.
Compare spending three yuan to buy an issue of Martial Arts Weekly. The same 30,000-word content, if it is transferred to the Internet, I believe the cost will not be so much. Even after the author writes it, the reader can see it immediately.
This kind of shortcut to reading will inevitably become the favorite of more and more readers. I think that when Mr. Hua founded Hero.com, he should have seen the future of this new kind of reading, and dared to establish the first Internet company in the empire to professionally operate online reading. ”
As Yu Wenle finished speaking, Qin Xiaoyi seemed to agree and said: "Alas, I heard Wenle say last time that I started to prepare for the establishment of a reading website for martial arts weekly. It's a pity that my mention was vetoed by the above.
Now that I think about it, those of us who run paper media will be squeezed out of the market by those of you who engage in the Internet sooner or later. However, I don't think I can wait for that day. After these two years, I am almost ready to retire. ”
Compared with private owners like Hua Shaoxiong, website management is their own decision. Qin Xiaoyi is more or less a government establishment, and it is no wonder that when Yu Wenle built it for him, Qin Xiaoyi felt that it was not suitable.
These days, no one likes to have nothing to do. Besides, at present, the sales of martial arts weekly are very good, and the leaders above who only care about income will agree with Qin Xiaoyi's construction and spend money to build a website!
After the contract was signed, Hua Shaoxiong quickly smiled and said, "Wenle, 'Smiling Proud Jianghu' should be over soon, right?" ”
Well, there are more than 100,000 manuscripts in the end, and I will be able to write them almost this week. ’
Hearing Yu Wenle's happy admission, Hua Shaoxiong said again: "Then what do you think about the next novel?" It is the first time I have seen a writer as young as you, but so sophisticated, who has been engaged in literature for many years.
I can even think that once you are on our site, it will definitely bring us a lot of popularity. Regarding your second novel, I heard from Editor-in-Chief Qin that you are in preparation. Is it still martial arts? ”
'Mr. Hua, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly! The new novel is indeed martial arts. However, for now, only the outline and the beginning are written. I will officially start writing, and I should wait until the end of my college entrance examination. ’
Knowing that Hua Shaoxiong would not mention this matter for no reason, Yu Wenle also asked directly. In fact, he understood that Hua Shaoxiong should want to continue to sign his second martial arts novel.
Seeing that Yu Wenle seemed to guess what he meant, Hua Shaoxiong also smiled and said: "Brother Yu, I believe you should know that there are many websites that operate online literature in China. But I believe that there is still no way to compete with the hero network.
Although I haven't read your second martial arts novel, I believe that your second work should not be lost to this one of the proud rivers and lakes. Therefore, I want to follow my brother Yu in advance and sign the online reprint rights of the second novel. How is it? ”
From this sentence, Yu Wenle also admired Hua Shaoxiong's courage. After all, as a rookie author, the first work is sought after. But not necessarily, the second work can also be recognized by those book fans.
While admiring the other party's courage in his heart, Yu Wenle said with a smile: "Although it is the first time we have met, a successful person like Mr. Hua can treat a rookie author like me so politely." To be honest, I was impressed.
Regarding the new martial arts novels, I am personally still very confident in its market. Even to say that it is not an exaggeration, the scene I set up in this new novel will be more exciting than laughing at the rivers and lakes.
It's just that about this martial arts novel, I personally prefer to work with paper media. At least when the editor-in-chief Qin is in power, as long as they don't refuse to cooperate with me, I will continue to publish the novel in the South Vietnamese Martial Arts Weekly. ”
When such words came out, Qin Xiaoyi also felt very pleased. This shows that he was not wrong about Bunraku at the beginning. This young man also has a martial arts temperament, and he is a good boy who values love and righteousness!
That means we can only continue to be a second-hand dealer! ’
Hua Shaoxiong, who said this in a somewhat self-deprecating manner, didn't feel angry. On the contrary, he is very pleased with Bunraku's character of not forgetting his old friend. This shows that people like Yu Wenle are worth handing over!
At this time, Yu Wenle said with a smile: "Mr. Hua, although your website also provides paid reading. But you should be able to see that the current mainstream market for martial arts novels is still in the paper media.
To be precise, the old martial arts authors are more willing to cooperate with the paper media. For them, writing novels is often a way to give back to their fans who support them. And many of their book lovers don't know how to go online.
I'm the same, although I'm bullish on the future of online literature. But in a short period of time, my martial arts novels will still choose to be published in paper media. If you reprint it on the Internet, you can also completely package it to your website. ”
Hearing the reason given by Yu Wenle, Hua Shaoxiong also agreed: "Indeed, at present, the part of online literature is still dominated by romance. Although there are many authors who write martial arts, those martial arts are not very interesting. ”
Regarding Hua Shaoxiong's exclamation, Yu Wenle suddenly said: "Mr. Hua, online literature is very inclusive and has advantages that paper media does not have. It's just that on your website, the subject matter of the novel is indeed a little less.
If Mr. Hua doesn't dislike it, wait until I am admitted to Jiangnan University. I might also consider signing up for a resident author on your site. As for the extension of martial arts, I have a bit of a new idea. ”
The extension of martial arts, Hua Shaoxiong and Qin Xiaoyi are a little confused. But in Wenle's opinion, in addition to these classic martial arts in his mind, there are still countless classic novels about online literature!
