Chapter 011: An Unexpected Phone Call

Why do they put down their festivals, roll all over the floor, and ask for monthly tickets after each author's work is put on the shelves? The gods are no exception.

Because monthly passes are few, and they are expensive. Scarcity is expensive.

Readers can only get monthly passes after spending money and spending money, and there is also a limit, a book can only get five monthly subscription passes a month. Running out of five monthly passes and still want it? Then you'll have to throw money at it. If you tip a hundred dollars, you can get a monthly tipping pass.

Of course, monthly passes can also be swiped, but the cost is quite high. Therefore, the monthly ticket list and the number of monthly tickets can also reflect the commercial value of a book relatively objectively.

The writer is both solitary and fulfilling. Lonely is that they are accompanied only by a computer that can't speak, and the sound of "popping" tapping.

What's fulfilling is that they use this silent computer and the "popping" day and night to build a vast world that belongs to them. A living world.

Writers hope that the world they build can be recognized by readers. Changzheng is no exception. Of course, monthly passes and subscriptions cost money, and he was embarrassed to shout about them often. He felt that all he could do was write well and be worthy of every penny spent by his readers.

He coded 15,000 to 20,000 words every day, 9:00, 13:00, 17:00, and 21:00, and steadily updated four chapters of 12,000 words.

Authors who are more stable at more than 10,000 a day, as long as they don't write too badly, they can all be popular, and the difference between big red and small red is just that. As for whether it can become popular, it still depends on the level of the author. After all, this is a code word, not a code brick.

"Infinite Terror" was written to 420,000 words, and Chang Zheng felt that except for the copyright of this book, which belonged to Z, everything else basically belonged to him. The dungeons are all new, the equipment skills are all new, the main line and branch lines are brand new, and even the character of the protagonist Zheng Zhe has been written differently by him.

The original book of "Infinite Terror" has 2.7 million words. Chang Zheng compressed it, reduced some copies, and according to his own setting, about 2 million words to complete the book, he couldn't spend too long on a book. Readers may still be unsatisfied, but it's okay, I'm going to open a new book, so let's continue to follow me into a new pit.

Chang Zheng thinks so, he also plans so, and implements it step by step.

Sunday, September 8th. Today is the last day of the push. "Infinite Terror" has been on the shelves for a week and is currently ranked seventh on the monthly ticket list of new books.

The competition in this issue is fierce and quite fierce. The big gods and small gods, as if they had made an appointment, were all on the shelves in September.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Chang Zheng finished sending today's first update, and he couldn't help but study the monthly ticket list.

First place, "Scarlet Rivers and Lakes", Author: Gu Cargo Boy. The author of the 10th level god is still a veteran martial arts god. He wrote for 11 years on Fenghua.com and left behind seven classics. This great god has a sharp pen, is good at using short sentences, and his writing is sonorous and sound, quite like an ancient dragon.

Second place, "Underground Master", Author: Sword in the Wind. Level 10 god author, master of urban crime themes, his style is realistic, and you can see the shadow of Haiyan. He is also known as the king of TV series adaptations, and many of his novels have been made into hit TV series.

Third place, "Lonely Men and Women", Author: Bing Orange. Level 10 goddess, the godmother of urban romance, read this book carefully, and it has the taste of Aunt Qiong Yao. This book has more than 300,000 words, and the heroine cries more than 300,000 words, even crying and coughing, which makes people want to cry when they read it.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth are all quasi-god authors of level 8~9. It can be seen how fierce the competition in this issue of the new book monthly ticket list is.

"It's a lot of pressure!" , Chang Zhengpin read the top six works and couldn't help but sigh. It's really well written, it's really a god level.

"But we are not bad at writing, and we must be confident. It's on the shelves, and it's not only about quality, but also about the speed of updating. Let's just fly first, and diligence can make up for it. It's time for a break today. Goal: Finish in the top five within a week! Chang Zheng clenched his fists, and the sparks of battle flashed in his eyes, "This is not an extravagant hope, I am only seventeen votes away from the sixth place, and there are only forty-two votes behind the fifth, all within the hundreds, and some are chasing." Well, in two days, blow up the sixth place first. The sixth place is, "There are many stories in a small town", author: Mu Xiaocheng. Mu Xiaocheng, I'm going to blow you up, are you ready, hehe. ”

Just like the imperial examination system in ancient times, students had to take the exam if they wanted to be named on the gold list. You don't care about what other people write, just write your own test papers.

It's the same with the online article rankings, this is not a competitive competition, you can do it face-to-face with your opponent, and you can compete for the winner. Regardless of what other writers write, just code your own article. In the case of ensuring quality, more, faster and more is the only effective means. What's more, I'm embarrassed to ask for a monthly pass. Every day the 2 Klux Klan multiplies by two, and it is embarrassing to shout.

Chang Zheng decided to take advantage of the last few hours of the strong push to break out today and get some dry goods. I'm going to have to run naked from two o'clock this afternoon.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, he had already read ten chapters in a row.

"Burst it! The sky has fired ten more bullets in a row! ”

"Cool, cool! The speed at which I see it is not as fast as the sky! It's fun to watch it this way! Whoever is that, one more than two thousand words a day, and I am in a hurry to read it. ”

"God, you have to work hard to live......"

"I think Cang Tianda has unlocked the fifth layer of genetic locks, he is no longer a normal human being, can't he be so fierce, don't say anything. Last monthly pass! ”

Looking at the boiling of the book review area and the book friends in the group, Chang Zheng smiled. This is also the charm of online culture, where authors and readers can interact in real time. Not only can you watch the live broadcast, but you can also participate in the live broadcast. This is something that cannot be compared to the traditional publishing route.

The power of the homepage push is really strong. In a week, the total hits of "Infinite Horror" exceeded 500,000, and the collection was 39,000.

Looking at this data, Chang Zheng felt happy in his heart. But what's even more beautiful is that it has been on the shelves for a week, and the current average is 5,000. This is already the data of the little gods. This thing is real money, and others can't see it, only Chang Zheng himself knows it. After it was put on the shelves, he changed 100,000 words, divided by 100,000 by 1,000, multiplied by 4 cents, and then multiplied by 5,000 to order evenly, which is basically Chang Zheng's current subscription income.

"Ouch, I'll go! Suddenly there are so many alliance leaders! ”

Chang Zheng watched and counted in the book review area, and there were already five alliance leaders, and there were dozens of people in total. Take the calculator to calculate, Chang Zheng calculated the results, according to this momentum, if you update 400,000 words this month, the monthly income can exceed six figures. The hundreds of dollars for full attendance are negligible, of course, he updates 1W+ every day, and he is an absolute hard-working model worker.

Yesterday, I paid the rent, water, electricity, and gas bills, and management fees, and Chang Zheng still had 1,800 yuan left in his net worth. There are still 20 days left in this month, and there is not much problem in dealing with the past. This is the darkness before dawn, and the light is coming. Next month's press fee, the sun will be shining.

"Rich, rich. When my brother has money in the future, he will have to buy two cars, one of which will be driven and the other will be smashed. Money, money. When my brother is rich in the future, my daughter-in-law will marry the two of them, and one will hide at home and the other will go outside. Rich, rich......"

Humming a little tune, Chang Zheng put on a sports short, a mobile phone key and a total net worth of 1,800 yuan in his waist bag, facing the sunset, and went out for a run. Every time he hums this Internet song, Chang Zheng wants to laugh. Do you think this song has a lot of connotation? The lyrics are simple, even a little cheesy, but everyone loves to hum. Popular culture has its own meaning of existence.

Still running the coastal route, an hour later, Chang Zheng ran to the beach.

At this time, the phone rang, and the soybean called.

"Hey, Sister Bean! It's been a long time since I've seen you bubbling, so it's been half a month, right? If you don't show up again, I'll go to the police station to report my disappearance. ”

Soybean: "I'm in Nangang City right now. You invite me to dinner tonight. You go to the Sea Palace Restaurant now, I'm almost there. ”

She's coming to Southport? Sea Palace Restaurant, which is a high-end seafood restaurant. How many people are there? I can't order a few shrimp soldiers and crabs. Drink or not?

Soybean suddenly arrived, Chang Zheng was quite surprised, thought about it, and said: "Soybean, you rarely come to Nangang once." The Sea Emperor Palace has no characteristics, and it is all to deceive foreign guests. I recommend a place that definitely has character. You come here on the promenade, whitewater beach. ”

Soybean: "Oh? Is it? I read the local food recommendations on my phone, saying that the Sea Palace is good and tall. Okay, I'll see you later. I hope your recommendation doesn't disappoint me. ”

Chang Zheng went to a nearby bank and took out all the 1,000 and 8 in the card. If you come next month, I will definitely invite you to the Sea Palace, but tonight, I can only invite you to eat food stalls. I also hope you won't be disappointed......
