Chapter 55: The Crisis of the Writing Society

"Sit, what's so urgent?" Su Jin motioned for Liu Mei to sit on the chair and asked.

"Things are really urgent! You've been busy with the Internet café for the past two days, and I'm embarrassed to disturb you, but today you're finally coming to school, and I'm just going to talk to you! Liu Mei said with a little headache. It can be seen that she is not in small trouble.

"Don't worry, if you have something to say, speak slowly!" Su Jin got up and poured a glass of water and handed it to Liu Mei.

Liu Mei took the cup, took a sip, and then said, "Did you find out?" The situation of the writing club is not good! ”

"Writing club? Isn't the situation of the writing club good?,Even students from other schools have come to join.,It's a great thing.,Two days ago, the principal made a special trip to praise me for this! Su Jin said a little confused.

Liu Mei rubbed his forehead, took out a report, handed it to Su Jin and said, "That's all superficial!" You can take a look at this report, which clearly shows the current situation of the writing club!

A week ago, our writing club had negative growth for the first time! At the time, it didn't attract attention, and I thought it was an accident. Who knew how it would intensify! As of today, more than 300 students have launched a writing club!

Although the Writing Club can be said to be the largest club in the school, its membership is rapidly decreasing, and if you don't think about it, I believe that the Writing Club will soon fall apart! ”

"Really?!" Su Jin was taken aback, hurriedly took the report in Liu Mei's hand, and quickly read it. Sure enough, as Liu Mei said, so far, the members of the writing club have dropped to more than 1,200, and the writing club used to have more than 1,700 students at its peak! Obviously, the power of the Writing Society is rapidly weakening.

"Why is this happening! Looking for a reason? Su Jin's brows furrowed, and he asked calmly.

Liu Mei picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip, and said heavily: "I found a lot of students to ask them what they thought, and after adding my own inductive summary, I came to a conclusion. I believe this is what has caused the current situation of the writing club! ”

"What conclusion?"

"Leigh!"

"Leigh?"

"That's right, it's 'profit'! You often say, 'The world is bustling, and everything is for profit.' The world is crowded, all for profit! In my opinion, the rise of the writing club was because of 'profit', and now the writing club is gradually declining because of the word 'profit'! Liu Mei said with an affirmative face.

……

After some discussion with Liu Mei, Su Jin understood what Liu Mei meant. To be honest, what Liu Mei said is really good! In the final analysis, this matter is really on the word "profit"!

At the beginning, the writing club was able to grow rapidly, and in a short period of time, 10% of the students in the school joined it. The school's support is certainly one aspect, but the most important thing is that Su Jin seems to have found a way for the students to gain benefits!

It is true that most of the students in business schools have dropped out of high school, and they are indeed inferior to their high school classmates in terms of academic performance. But that doesn't mean they're not self-motivated!

On the contrary, because they have always been the first to be looked down upon by high school students, they value dignity and status more seriously! The online book writing industry, although in the traditional way of thinking, is a plaything and a discouraged position.

But in the eyes of young people, this position is quite mysterious! Especially in this position, they can find their dignity, status, and feel flattered among their readers! At the same time, you can make some money, so why not!

Therefore, in the eyes of the students, becoming an online writer is also a pretty good choice, at least in this period! But the reality is that it poured cold water on them! Cruelly tell them that there is nothing easy in this world!

Although they have been trained by Su Jin and are better than some current online writers in terms of writing skills and plot ideas, it is not easy to succeed in the field of online novels!

In fact, don't say that now, even in the era when online novels have been basically industrialized in later generations, it is not easy to make money in online novels!

Later generations of Shanda presidents once proudly declared: "Now if you look in the bus, you will find that one out of every ten people is reading online novels!" And at least one out of every ten people who read online novels will choose to pay to read them! ”

But even if this is the case, how much money can really be made in the online novel industry? In the future, a certain point of the family is a monopoly as an example! The signing rate of new books is about 5%, and the proportion of shelves after signing is about 10%, that is, a newcomer can get 0.5% of the income from opening a new book at a certain point!

Doesn't it feel like a cheat when you look at this number! But that's just the way it is! Therefore, most of the authors who write online novels are really supported by the rise of interest! If there is anything other than interest, it may be, the reader's affirmation, approval, and attention!

Once an author said something that moved Su Jin for a long time! That's the author of a street novel that has written more than three million words! There are only nearly 1,000 collections in total, with more than a dozen clicks a day, and occasionally one or two recommendations!

There is no doubt that such a novel will not be able to get a contract! But the author still keeps changing, always changing! When someone asked him why, he said that as long as there is still someone reading this novel, it means that there are still people who affirm me and approve of me, and I will keep writing!

Getting along in a different place, Su Jin doesn't know if he has the perseverance of this benevolent brother! But his novel hasn't reached this point yet, so he hasn't had a chance to try it!

This is still the case in later generations, in this period when Internet culture is still basically free, even in an era when it is impossible to make money after Su Jin plagiarizes the masterpieces of later generations. How can these students make money!

In this period, the only hope of making money is to make readers recognize it through the Internet, and then make money by publishing houses to publish physical books! This is also the reason why Dream Network can go step by step to today!

But how many books can a publisher publish? The publishing house has to consider profits, and it is impossible for him to distribute all books, so let alone the fat president, even Xinhua Bookstore will not be enough to lose!

So he will pick some red books that are recognized by readers on the Internet to publish, which will undoubtedly turn away most online writers! I worked hard to write hundreds of thousands of words, but in the end, it was all in vain! There are a few people who can withstand this kind of blow!

Therefore, after the writing club experienced a period of popularity, most members of the club inevitably quit after experiencing the difficulty of making money!

And even if you exclude that, writing alone is a chore! Ideating the plot every day, one by one, is very boring in itself! If the students of the business school can really endure loneliness and boredom, they will not come to the business school!

Even if you can't be at the top in high school, at least it's not a problem to follow the second year of the exam! Therefore, there are some members who have coded tens of thousands of words or can't persist after hundreds of thousands of words.

From this point of view, this is very much in line with the special surname of the profession of online writer, the mobile surname is high, and most of them are part-time jobs! In fact, in Su Jin's view, writing a novel itself is also a tempering of people!

Most of today's students are impetuous and don't have a surname! If he can really set his foot on his heart and write a novel of two or three million words, I believe it will be very beneficial to their hearts, at least when they do anything in the future, the length of time they persist will increase!

Of course, this has nothing to do with Su Jin. What he needs to think about now is how to deal with the current crisis! The writing club is his foundation and the core of his future career, and he must not tolerate his decline!

Su Jin lowered his head, as if he had fallen into deep thought, and his mind was spinning rapidly! It's not like he's out of the way with the situation in front of him! In fact, he had a plan for a long time! Once implemented, it can perfectly solve the problem at hand!

However, this plan was the one he had when he was first reborn, and he gave up after he established a new purpose in life! Because in a sense, this plan and his goals conflict!

And it is likely to cause some uncertain factors, from the current point of view, a bit of a thirst-quenching taste!

"Forget it, drink a donkey to quench your thirst! Sometimes a crisis is an opportunity! If you do it well, you may be able to turn waste into treasure! Su Jin thought about it, and finally made up his mind, and said fiercely!
