Chapter 203: Selling Characters

"What?"

Wang Qin asked.

Su Junyu smiled happily at this time: "Mr. Zhao! Mr. Wang! I think this means that we can still make more money for our authors and ourselves even though we don't have a large total number of paying users! I now have an immature idea, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang, you can refer to it! ”

"Say!"

Zhao Yan stretched out his hand and gestured.

Su Junyu nodded, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wang!" My idea is that we can find some new ways to get these financially well-off users to willingly shell out more money on our site and on the books they are chasing! ”

Zhao Yan frowned slightly: "Be more specific!" ”

"Good!"

Su Junyu lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Mr. Zhao! Mr. Wang! My suggestion is - the popular works on our site can be opened to book fans to bid for characters! For example, Mr. Zhao, your book "The Great Sword of Rebirth"! Now the protagonist is determined! But there are also some important supporting roles that can be taken out and let the fans quote on their own! In the end, who offers the most! The important character is written with the name of the character who provided it! Of course! A book like this character can't offer much! Otherwise, it will definitely cause disgust among most readers! This practice, although we and the author do not make much more money on a book! But we have thousands of books on our site! This accumulation should be a lot of income, right? I feel that this can at least help us temporarily relieve our current financial stress! ”

Zhao Yan frowned and looked at Wang Qin, while Wang Qin touched the thumb of his left hand, and looked at Zhao Yan thoughtfully.

Zhao Yan: "Editor-in-chief Wang!" Do you think this option is feasible? If so, will the reader receive it? Can the author be willing? ”

Wang Qin didn't answer immediately, touched the thumb of his left hand, and thought for a while before he smiled. Said: "Mr. Zhao! I think we can try it first! See if it has an effect and how the response will be before making a final decision! I suggest that you try to test your two works! What do you think? Think about the more important characters you can put up for readers to bid on, and see if any readers are willing to pay for the characters in your book! Mr. Zhao! I thought about it just now, and suddenly I thought Xiao Yu's suggestion was very interesting! For example, one of your die-hard book lovers, who happens to be not short of money, when he learns that as long as he gives some pocket money, he can appear as a master in your book, such as the head of a certain school like the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" you wrote recently, only need to spend a few hundred yuan. Or more or you can appear as the head of that school, do you think you, a die-hard book lover, will be tempted? Another example is: another reader who is not bad for money happens to have a boss, colleague, or classmate who you hate and hate very much in reality! When he learns that it only costs a few hundred dollars, he can write that person's name into your popular work to be the villain! Being seen and widely known by thousands of book lovers, do you think this reader will be impressed? For example: one of your book lovers is pursuing a certain girl! In order to please that girl, or that girl happens to be reading your book, then this book lover is willing to spend a hundred and ten dollars. Would you like to put that girl's name into your work? You know, you already have one of your books adapted into a movie, in case your current two books are also adapted into a movie in the future, and the girl's name will be on the big screen again. Be remembered by more people! You think! How romantic is that? For example......"

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan didn't want to listen anymore, and raised his hand to stop Wang Qin from continuing.

It's not that Zhao Yan is too disgusted to hear it, but he thinks it's really interesting.

"It's not impossible to write about a boss, colleague or classmate you hate in my book! But. In order to avoid being sued, we infringe on someone else's right to a name! It's better to only accept nicknames, or nicknames! ”

As soon as Zhao Yan added this, Wang Qin smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be like this!" Because there are too many people with the same name in this world! And. The name is provided by your book lovers, and it is no coincidence that the person who wrote it in the book may not know it! ”

Zhao Yan still shook his head: "That's not good!" It doesn't matter if 1,000 people don't prosecute, but as long as one person sues, we're passive! Let's just accept nicknames or nicknames! ”

Wang Qin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!" You are the boss! How do you say how it is! ”

Su Junyu saw that Zhao Yan and Wang Qin had basically made a decision, and the smile on his face never disappeared.

After discussing a few words with Wang Qin, Zhao Yan looked at Su Junyu again and encouraged: "Not bad!" After we experiment, if the effect is really good! Your bonus will definitely be indispensable when the time comes! If you have any good suggestions in the future, just ask Editor-in-Chief Wang or me! ”

When Su Junyu heard this, he quickly got up and bowed slightly to Zhao Yan, very happy.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao! Thank you, Mr. Wang! Yes! If there is any good advice, I will definitely say it! ”

Wang Qin got up with a smile and patted Su Junyu's arm, saying, "Not bad!" Come on! So be it! You go out and get back to work! I'll discuss it with Mr. Zhao again! ”

"Okay! Good! Then Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang, I went out first? ”

"Hmm."

"Hmmm! Get out! ”

When Su Junyu went out, Wang Qin suddenly laughed and said to Zhao Yan: "Mr. Zhao! This Su Junyu is very thoughtful! He actually had the heart to analyze the data of the website, and he really analyzed something! I think his suggestion should work! How much can it add another profit to us! ”

Zhao Yan smiled a little helplessly: "I still don't think it's good to do this!" Originally, as authors, we could give book fans some tricks for free! Now it's like we've all fallen into the eyes of money! There are bound to be some readers who will be disgusted! ”

Wang Qin looked a little indifferent, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao! You think too much! There is a good side to everything and a bad side, and you are now only seeing the bad side! You can think of it this way: maybe the author of a certain book has a relatively small monthly manuscript fee, and under normal circumstances, he will stop writing after a long time, in the words of Mr. Zhao, he is a eunuch! But after we launched this initiative, maybe, maybe! Maybe one or two, or even more, readers are willing to spend money on characters in his book, so that the author can pay a few hundred dollars more per month. Maybe it's just a few hundred yuan more manuscript fee, and the author can keep writing! I am sure that there will be such authors! And among such authors, maybe one of them will grow into a top writer in the future! What do you say? And, Mr. Zhao! Some readers may be disgusted, but don't you think there will be some readers who will be happy? I think true book lovers must be happy to have their own name or their favorite person's name appear in a popular book! Think about it, if there is a character named you in one of the works of Long Yin or Guan Ying! Do you be happy when you read that book? Will there be a sense of anticipation? Looking forward to your name coming back in a later chapter? ”

For the first time, Zhao Yan found that Wang Qin's eloquence was so good, and he pursed his lips helplessly with a smile. Zhao Yan asked him, "Then what are you going to do?" Let me tell the reader in the book, is there one or several characters bidding for them? Whoever offers the highest price will use the name provided? ”

Wang Qin shook his hand with a smile and said, "Of course not!" I'll ask the technical department to add a ribbon below the brief description of your work! You can post your own character identity information that you can bid on in the author background, and then the reader can quote it yourself! When quoting, no matter how much you quote, you must have so much money in your account! Once you decide which name to use from the reader, the money in the reader's account will be automatically paid out in the form of tips! At the same time, the bidding for that character will also end! ”

A picture appeared in Zhao Yan's mind - the bidding role he released in the author's background passed day by day. No reader has spent money to buy it, and this picture feels sour to imagine!

I wonder what kind of laughing stock I will become when the time comes?

Maybe you'll be laughed at for the rest of your life!

"Okay! You guys! The ribbon is ready, let me know! I'm leaving! Keep busy! ”

After speaking, Zhao Yan got up and said goodbye.

Wang Qin watched him leave with a smile. I feel that Zhao Yan's helpless and speechless expression when he left is very interesting.

On the way back, Zhao Yan was still smiling bitterly, betraying the characters in his book? This kind of thing is in the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries. Unheard of! Is this defilement/defilement of literature?

In the future, there will be a lot of people scolding me for being covered in copper, right?

What a shame on the world of fiction!

However, then again, several characters in the original book of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" do need to be replaced! Because there are several character names that have already appeared in "Full Moon Scimitar" and "The Sword of Rebirth". Different works, with characters with the same name and surname, are inherently scary.

……

Regardless of whether Zhao Yan is cool or unhappy, in short, the technical department is already studying how to add the functional area under the introduction of Zhao Yan's two books according to Wang Qin's requirements.

Zhao Yan waited for two days, and Wang Qin called him and told him with a smile that the functional area had been done and he could release the information of the bidding role.

When Zhao Yan was in class this afternoon, he kept thinking in his heart about which characters in his two books could be released for bidding, or rather, which characters he put out first this time.

After thinking about it, Zhao Yan planned to put a little less for the first time, and only put two characters in each book.

"The Sword of Rebirth" puts the role of a bat boy and a role of the world's number one killer.

The inspiration for these two characters comes from two characters in another work of Gu Long that Zhao Yan saw in his dream a few days ago - "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and this time the dream also only saw part of the plot of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".

Zhao Yan remembered these two characters, and was about to write them into "The Sword of Rebirth", this time let readers grab these two characters, he thought that it would be okay, and one day he would read the whole "Legend of Chu Liuxiang", so that he would not need to change the names of the two people in the original book.

As for "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Zhao Yan plans to release an elder of the Demon Sect and the daughter of Ren Yingying this time, this role can be said to be the heroine of "Smiling Proud Jianghu"! If the fans of Ren Yingying in Lu Yang's world knew that Zhao Yan planned to do this, I don't know how many people would want to kill him. (To be continued......)
