At 10 o'clock in the morning of November 6, 2000, Daxia Original Chinese Network was officially launched.

A large number of online users are frantically pouring in. In just 30 minutes, the number of hits on the homepage of the website reached 160,000! As time passed, this number continued to grow wildly.

"The publicity work of the website is already in place," Chen Wanyu said excitedly, "This number is more than ten times stronger than the number of jù under the banyan tree that we monitored at the same time period!" With such a huge number of hits, even if only one-tenth of them are converted into our users, Daxia Original Chinese Network can beat Banyan Tree in the shortest time and become the largest Chinese original novel base in the industry! ”

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said: "The number of clicks is just the number of clicks, and many users click in because of the overwhelming publicity of the website and because of curiosity." For the time being, the backend of the site is really good, but it's unknown how many of them convert into our loyal users. One tenth is a bit too high for me, and it's nice to be able to stay at one tenth. ”

Chen Wanyu nodded, this is also a matter of no choice. The time for the development of the domestic network industry is too short.

It was not until April 20, 1994 that the China Education and Research Network (NCFC) was directly connected to the NCFnet of the United States, and China was internationally recognized as having an Internet. By the time the China Internet Information Center released the first "Statistical Report on China's Internet Development" in November 97, the Internet began to move from a scientific research tool in the hands of a few scientists to the masses.

In '98, '99. China's Internet users have begun to grow exponentially, and the Internet has changed from avant-garde to a real demand. In this way, an Internet revolution spread throughout the land of China in two years. For the IT industry, this is an era of chasing dreams, and this time is full of stories of dreams coming true.

Entering the millennium, the domestic Internet industry has shown strong vitality, it is constantly changing and innovating at a rapid speed, and all kinds of new things are emerging one after another, testing people's ability to accept it again and again.

Daxia Original Chinese Network is definitely a novelty, it is the same nature as the website under the banyan tree, but it is more specific.

Chen Yuan was reborn. Naturally, I know that online reading has an extremely surging vitality. It will become one of the ways for people to relax and entertain, especially after the full popularization of large-screen mobile phones, with newer and more convenient media, the user group of online reading will show explosive growth! Each person has a mobile phone. Everyone is a book lover, and it will be a time when you are crazy about novels!

The publicity work of Daxia Original Chinese Network is in place, and major portals such as Sohu, Sina, and NetEase have all hung advertisements and entrances to the website. Most netizens got the news of the launch of Daxia's original Chinese online as soon as possible. This is why there was an astonishing number of people at the beginning of the launch of Daxia's original Chinese online.

Online users are coming in, but whether they can stay and convert into permanent users of the website is the most critical.

Many netizens entered the website. I found that the layout of the homepage is very simple, in addition to the top book "The Rise of the End Times", there are 15 new books listed below. These new books have been collected through a number of channels recently. Compared with "The Sealed Demon" and "The Rise of the Last Days", these new books are very immature in terms of outline structure and storyline.

Both the website and the author have signed a contract, and will be paid according to the number of words and the quality of the creation. Before Daxia Original Chinese Network enters paid reading, the website will basically be in a state of loss.

Of the 16 books on the homepage, the one that has attracted the most attention is undoubtedly Chen Yuan's new work "The Rise of the Last Days", which has almost the same number of hits as the website. Most of the other novels have very low clicks. But there are two that have caught the eye of many.

One "The Legend of the Demon Dragon", one "The Demon Ye Liangchen".

That's right, both of these novels are fan fiction of "The Sealed Demon". They are based on the background of the story of "The Sealed Demon", and the characters and stories have not changed much, the only thing that has changed is that the protagonist has changed. The protagonists of the two novels are familiar with the story direction of "The Sealed Demon", so the rise is very fast, not only covering all the spiritual flowers, spiritual grasses and spiritual objects that appear in the novel, but also packing and taking away the heroines and female supporting characters in it!

Most of the 16 novels are only 20,000 or 30,000 words, but these two fanfictions have more than 100,000 words.

Fans of "The Sealed Demon" were stunned when they saw the names of these two fan fictions. Then I couldn't help but open it to see. They quickly became immersed in it and couldn't help themselves. Although the author's writing is immature and the character descriptions are not in place, this does not affect the reading pleasure of the novel in any way. Many fans of the book are full of praise for these two fan fictions. Some people even came up with the idea of writing a book.

Daxia Original Chinese has brought surprises to many readers, but not everyone likes this website.

The well-known writer Shi Liangyou expressed his views in the newspaper media: Since the hot sale of "The Sealed Demon", I have been paying attention to this book, its layout, concept, plot, and suspense are certainly eye-catching, but it is undeniable that it is a propaganda and violence. Novel readings with extremely distorted social outlook, outlook on life, and values. When I saw the book "The Rise of the Last Days" on the original Chinese website of Daxia, I was heartbroken. The three views of this book have been distorted to the extreme, and cannibalism has become commonplace. Torture, violence, **, and obscenity are the mainstream. Chen Yuan's reputation is very inconsistent with his work.

Xu Huisheng, a special writer for Changchun Daily, said: I am very excited and excited to hear that someone wants to create the world's largest original novel base. With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, the literary world needs new media and communication channels. The web is a new untapped land that represents hope and a future. With excitement and excitement, I clicked on the original Chinese website of Daxia. There are only a dozen or so works of fiction that catch your eye. I opened a book casually, and it was all preaching ** and violence, and I was hit hard. Could it be that this website, which claims to be the world's largest base for original fiction, is all the dregs and garbage of the literary world?

Zhao Lifen, a national first-class writer, said calmly: I am very curious about Chen Yuan, a young writer, and I have read his famous work "Sealing the Demon", and I have also read this new book "The Rise of the Last Days". After all, he is young and has little experience, and what he writes lacks accumulation. His works are only suitable for entertainment and pastime, and have little literary value. But his work is very popular, which is very abnormal.

Talking about the opening of the original Chinese website in Daxia, Du Wenwu, the cutting-edge writer of the year, said sarcastically: A book becomes famous, but no one is in sight! The world's largest original Chinese website has only 16 books? He is still too young, arrogant, and wants to do everything in front of others. But he will never succeed in this matter! The works of those well-known authors are not visible on the website. I can't see excellent newcomers and new books, all of them are messy and smoky things. I bet this site won't be around for long.

Newspapers, websites, forums, there are quite a few negative reviews. Many well-known writers appeared one by one. In the tone of his predecessors, he persuaded Chen Yuan to delete those literary dross and add some books with literary value. There are many writers who have even offered to publish their works on the website, as long as the website provides a small copyright fee.

In the face of the persuasion of many well-known writers, Chen Yuan was unmoved. Online literature is a novelty after all. It is also reasonable that it is not recognized by the current literary world. Chen Yuan did not include the works of well-known writers because their works did not match the direction of the site's development. Instead, he posted a new news on the homepage of the website: Daxia Original Chinese Network will open a training course for online writers from November 11th to 13th, with Chen Yuan, a tutor and Chen Wancheng, a tutor!

Web writer, a nascent term, many people don't understand.

Websites are annotated by web writers, i.e. contributors who publish their own work on online literary sites.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Chen Yuan's behavior directly aroused strong doubts and opposition from traditional writers.

Is he trying to start a new career? Also offer online writer training classes? Today's young people are so bold and lawless! He was blinded by the money he earned! The well-known writer Shi Liangyou said with affection.

Xu Huisheng, a special writer for Changchun Daily, couldn't help laughing out loud: This young man is very interesting, does he want to declare war on the entire literary world? I'm going to leave it here for today. Accompany you to the end!

Zhao Lifen, a national first-class writer, is finally no longer calm: life is like a play, and drama is like life. But sometimes it's better not to overdo it. If a person is self-righteous and daring, and there is not a single supporter around him, and there are all opposing voices, then he has already separated himself from the masses and is not far from betraying his relatives!

Du Wenwu, the emerging writer of the year, laughed unscrupulously and said: I have been publishing since middle school, and after 14 years of training, I finally wrote a work that can be recognized by many seniors. The experience of these years. It made me realize that literature is so vast and profound that it may not be possible to master even one percent of it with all my life's energy. So I've been working hard and walking on thin ice throughout. But now a middle school student who has been studying for a few years. I even want to start a class to be a teacher, and I got an indecent title like an online writer. It's really ridiculous, it's ridiculous!

……

In the face of many objections and ridicule, Chen Yuan's face was calm. He held his breath in his heart, if he didn't vent it, he wouldn't be happy.

"When something new is born, there will always be opposition and doubts. It's nothing. It's good to wait for this time. Chen Wanyu comforted.

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I know what you said, but I didn't expect that the opposition and questioning would be so strong. It seems that too much of the limelight is not a good thing. ”

"There are two sides to everything, because the limelight is too strong, and the website will receive so much attention at the beginning of its launch." Chen Wanyu clenched his fists, and he said confidently: "We will definitely work hard to make those voices of opposition and doubt disappear!" ”

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with Chen Wanyu's confident appearance. Chen Wanyu is the builder and operator of Daxia's original Chinese network, and if he is hit by this and has been slumped since then, it is definitely not what Chen Yuan wants to see.

If there are doubts and opposition, affirmation and support are indispensable.

In the book review area of "Rise of the Last Days", many book fans raised their banners and expressed their support with impassioned and enthusiastic words.

"Ignore the ghosts, snakes, and gods, I have never read their books, and what they say is very annoying. It's still a big book that makes people feel happy to read! I strongly support Chen Yuanda, and hope that he can write more and better works! ”

"On behalf of all 3,218 members of the fan group, I resolutely support Chen Yuanda. We're going to fight those disgusting guys to the end and never buy their rotten books again! The list of bad book authors is as follows: Du Wenwu's "Summer of Mandarin Ducks", "The Fragrance of Rice Flowers", "City People and Rural People"; Shi Liangyou, "Winter in Harbin", "Fire in the Wilderness", "Desert Traveler", "Girl on the Shore of Lake Baikal", ......"

"I have never understood a question, why reading Chen Yuanda's book is invigorating, forgetting to sleep and eating, and I can't wait to read it in one go. Can't read other people's books, such as Du Wenwu's famous work "The Summer of Mandarin Ducks"? Am I hopeless? ”

"Summer of mandarin ducks? I've never heard of any bullshit. However, I remember the plot of the first 13 volumes of "The Sealed Demon" very clearly. Thank you Chen Yuan for writing an amazing work! That's what gave me the urge to read. Chen Yuan is very refueled! ”

"Why is it only 30,000 words? It's not enough to see. Chen Yuanda, don't pay attention to those trolls, they won't be good. Your old man should hurry up and write a book, I'm waiting for a glue......"

"The first physical book of "The Rise of the Last Days" was lying in my bed two days ago, and I don't read it during the day and at night, because I only feel it when I read it at night. Horror, excitement, excitement, goosebumps all rose. This is not a traditional ghost story, it is more scary, more exciting, and more exciting than a ghost story. I like Shen Bing so much, come on!! ”

……

In the face of so many supporters, Chen Yuan's blood was boiling, and he decided to make a career to silence those doubters, doubters, and opponents, and he wanted to prove that he was right! (To be continued.) )
