Chapter 155: Laying Out Online Literature
Although online literature is a big piece of cake in the Internet industry, it was ignored by most giants when the Internet industry was staking its ground at the beginning. It wasn't until many giants occupied some of the territory that they could circle that they began to pay attention to the online literature market.
Therefore, online literature will not usher in heavyweight competitors for a long time.
And Wang Qinian already knows the profit model of online literature, as long as a seed is sown, although it is impossible to grow into a forest in the future, it is no problem to grow a towering tree.
The big tree, too, only needs to be sown, watered and fertilized at first, and it will not be long before it will continue to produce a lot of fruit.
This is a good business, and it is a good time to invest, in the future, save zĂ i 10,000 times the return on investment, why not?
Wang Qinian smiled and said: "I am very optimistic about online literature, and I think this market has a lot to offer. But at the moment, the forum-based gameplay is wrong! It is even more wrong to play like traditional publishing! Online literature should be more down-to-earth and popular literature based on market demand. Just like the comic industry in Japan, the commercialization model of Hollywood in the United States is the future of online literature, or the future of popular culture. In addition, the Japanese manga industry "Doraemon", "Dragon Ball", "Saint Seiya", "Detective Conan", etc., although the themes and story content are different, the similarities are all serialized for several years, or even ten years! Some cartoons in the United States are even more exaggerated, some have been serialized for more than 70 years, and they are still being serialized. These works, which have been serialized for decades, have been adapted into films, television, and games. It will often be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the future, online literature should also be like comics, excellent brands, which can be written for more than ten years and millions of words. Even tens of millions of words. â
"However, "Journey to the West" was completed in the Ming Dynasty, and its influence has not declined so far!" He said today.
"That's right! What I said before was so absolute! "Journey to the West" has a classic that has penetrated the long river of history and has been handed down. Actually, the number is very small. How many novels do you think Ming people wrote? At that time, the publishing industry was very prosperous, publishing 100 novels a year. At least twenty or thirty thousand novels were published throughout the Ming Dynasty. And the vast majority of them have lost their vitality and have not been able to pass them on! Wang Qinian said with a smile, "So, we have to make a classic." Not deliberately pursued! But the number is large, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, more than a million, big waves and sand! Some works, decades or even more later, are still remembered and mentioned. It's a classic! The literary world that deliberately pursues classics is even more difficult to produce classics! If you don't pursue the commercial market of the classics, you may be unintentional. A hand-me-down classic has appeared! â
After all, he is just a small writer, even if he is persuaded to be optimistic about online literature, so that he will continue to write articles on the Internet in the future. It doesn't mean a lot.
In fact, Wang Qinian said so much. Naturally, it is to pave the way for what follows.
"Where are you now, are you interested in joining our partner company? Become the editor-in-chief of the new 'Internet Publishing Division'! Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"What?" Now He is shocked.
Please ask him to be the editor-in-chief?! Editor-in-Chief of the Internet Publishing Division!
It's not just that I'm surprised!
Chen Sanqiang, the editor-in-chief of the publishing department next to him, was also surprised.
At present, the company has only three business divisions, and Chen Sanqiang is the boss of the publishing division. Add another Internet Publishing Division, it seems, well, it definitely divides the power of the Publishing Division!
Although the partner company has not yet done Internet publishing, Chen Sanqiang feels that if he does such a business, he can do it.
"This ...... I'm not a good fit, am I? Jin He looked at the editor-in-chief Chen next to him, and suddenly said.
"Nothing out of place!" Wang Qinian smiled and said, "This position does not affect your own writing." In fact, at the beginning, I was also planning to use you as a banner and a clarion call to attract online writers to write books on our newly established website. After all, many traditional writers now write books that are not competitive, so that we young people are more likely to read foreign publications and works from Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, some words on the Internet have attracted many readers to read and comment. From the perspective of communication, the Internet spreads faster and wider than traditional channels, and the threshold for creation and expression is also lower. We can create a new era, save Chinese popular fiction on the Internet, and resurrect the dying popular novel on the Internet! â
He Zai didn't mean it to joke when he saw Wang Qinian, so he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Thanks to Mr. Wang, it would be hypocritical to refuse again!" â
Where is it now, writing books on the Internet, and when I haven't graduated yet, I have a lot of time to squander. Graduation is imminent, and I have to go out and find a job!
Even if the buyout fee for "The Legend of Wukong" is 50,000 yuan, if you don't continue to work, you will soon be empty.
Originally, I was thinking about whether to write books professionally or find a job to support my family? Now, the invitation of the small partner company has solved his worries.
I found a job and was able to continue to write letters. Therefore, Jin He feels that today's experience is like a dream.
âŚâŚ
After signing a labor contract with Jin He, he started from a very high starting point - the boss of the department! Of course, there are not many preferential treatments in salary, and the monthly salary at the beginning is only 1ooo yuan, but the quarterly salary increase plan of the small partner company makes employees more hopeful.
In addition, the partner company also provides a lot of legal opportunities to make extra money.
For example, write some copywriting scripts for the company's games. and the popularity of "The Legend of Wukong" has increased, and if there are film and television adaptations, dramas, and games in the future, you can pay him copyright fees.
After all, the publishing copyright of "The Legend of Wukong" was bought out by a small partner company, but the other copyrights, once used, still have to be shared by him.
Next, the network publishing division that Jin He is in charge of, with the support of the company, is also about to advance. The first step of the company exhibition was to make one.
The name of the forum is "Starting Point Chinese Network", and after the establishment of this forum, it quickly used the influence of today. Writers who lobbied around for serialized works on other forums also serialized on the Qiqi Chinese website.
In addition, I tell you everywhere that the starting point of the Chinese network is temporarily excessive, and soon a professional online novel website will be opened.
When the website opens, you can sign a contract for an excellent long-form serial novel, and pay the manuscript fee for the contracted work. In addition, there is also the possibility of physical publishing, film and television, and game adaptation.
To put it simply, after the official opening of the starting point Chinese website, online literature will enter a new era.
It seems that "The Legend of Wukong" is very famous on the Internet, and it has just been published and sold well, so Jinhe is very prestigious.
After such publicity, He Zai has the posture to become a leader in the online literature industry. After taking power in his hands, Jin He felt that although he was a little more tired than in the past, he was definitely more fulfilling.
Because, he is not only preparing a website, but more importantly, planning the future of a nascent industry! (To be continued)
