Because it was an early arrival, Sina.com did not arrange a place for the two gods to stay in time, as a last resort, Chen Ping could only spend his own money to book a hotel for them, these two people were not only not grateful, but also said: You are young and not married, and there is no place to spend so much money, so we will treat it as a good deed to help you spend a little.

At night, instead of spending in a high-end restaurant, the three millionaires must spend in a high-end restaurant, but at Chen Ping's house, Huang Qian cooked the meals, I thought that the skeleton, a big man in the north, often eats pasta, and may not be used to rice, but I didn't expect the skeleton to say that he was at East China University of Political Science and Law when he went to school, and he was already used to rice.

While Huang Qian was cooking, Chen Ping made a pot of tea, and the three of them sat in the living room chatting.

"Brother Ping, I wonder if my "Raptors Across the River" is also published in Treasure Island, and the sales are not low, how can the income be so much worse than yours, do you have any secrets to making money? Teach me, I really want to buy a house in S City. ”

The sales of "Raptors Across the River" on Treasure Island are really good, and if it weren't for "Immortal Rebellion", maybe "Raptors Across the River" would have topped the best-selling list for half a year. However, instead of bringing a lot of income to the skeleton, "Raptors Across the River" also hindered his writing process, and when "Raptors Across the River" was not finished, he had to open a new copy of "Three-Eyed Love Spell", which turned out to be very unsatisfactory for subscriptions.

Blood Red is also more curious about this, 04 years of his annual income can be more than one million, at that time the starting point was also to expose his own income, so that 05 years of his popularity increased again, today's income Blood Red is very satisfied, but compared with mortals, it is only half of him, Blood Red has to be curious.

Chen Ping motioned for the two to drink tea, and said very casually: "To be honest." I've never seriously calculated the manuscript fee, although the website has published six million, and I did receive more than six million myself, but you have to know how many words I wrote this year. The second half of "Immortal Rebellion" is nearly 3 million words, and "The Best Family" is more than 2 million words. And now "Demon", this year, I almost wrote 8 million words with a bonus. How much does a subscription of just 8 million words cost? Not counting the tips from those book friends. ”

"Also, I want to say that traditional Chinese publishing is no longer the only channel for our online writers to increase their income, and now the review conditions for simplified Chinese publishing in China have been relaxed a lot, and we are all writing fantasy, basically not involved in politics, so. As long as the plot is not involved in love S, or extreme bloody violence, it should be published. Moreover, the royalties of simplified Chinese publishing are a little more than those of traditional Chinese, don't underestimate this, you must know that the domestic readership base is equivalent to more than half of the population of Baodao. In Treasure Island, the sales of a single copy of 3,000 copies can be regarded as a bestseller, but what about in China? Not to mention three thousand copies. That's 30,000 copies, an average of so many cities. How many people will know about your book? ”

"Simplified publishing is indeed a relatively good way out, and "Evil Wind Song" has also begun to contact simplified publishing, including the current "Song of Witches". However, the hedging between online literature and traditional literature, which was noisy a few days ago, if a large number of online novels are published, will it cause traditional literature authors to snipe at our online novels? "Blood Red is still a little worried, the commotion some time ago was too intense.

"You have to understand that there is a lot of blood. The eyes of the group are bright, and what they like is from the heart, and it is impossible to change their preferences based on the remarks of some people. Even if they are jealous of us, it will not affect our popularity, but it will not have an impact on us. It can even attract some readers who have never read online novels to join the ranks of online novel readers. For the quarrel on the Internet or in newspapers and magazines, let them go, we just need to write a book with peace of mind. ”

Chen Ping's words were like a tranquilizer, which made the worry in the hearts of the two of them fade a lot.

"Skeleton's main income point now is "Raptors Crossing the River", I suggest you speed up, finish the book as soon as possible with quality and quantity, and then open a new book. New book I suggest you change the genre, after all, now the game novel is outdated, not that you can't write excellent works, the key is that now the reader's attention has shifted to other themes, our creation must also meet the market demand, right? Only in this way can the popularity quickly increase in the eyes of most readers, and the income will naturally increase. ”

"Also, the quality of the novels created by Xueda is indeed quite high, but the path of what you write is too narrow, and there is basically no other way out except for publishing. As you can see, some game companies have begun to shift their attention to online novels, one is because online novels themselves have huge popularity, as long as the game company adapts them well, it is equivalent to directly having a group of stable customers. The second reason is that the length of the online novel is very huge, there is enough content for them to adapt, and almost all of the content has been written by the author, and they only need to spend a small amount of energy to refine the points that are worth adapting and modify them to be directly used in the game. Not only does it save most of the publicity and promotion costs, but even their R&D costs will be reduced a lot, so game companies are willing to give a large buyout fee. ”

"Fantasy novels with a lot of oriental elements are likely to become the target of game companies, of course, it is not excluded that novels with other themes will be adapted into games, I just provide you with a reference direction, as for how to choose, it depends on you."

After hearing this, both of them looked thoughtful, and at this time, Huang Qian was also cooking haode food, and came over to ask if she wanted to eat now.

Chen Ping nodded, and the four of them sat down at the dinner table, Chen Ping knew that Xuehong liked to drink, and the skeleton was still an authentic northern man, so he naturally would not be afraid, and found two bottles of liquor with a relatively high degree among the several boxes of wine left by Huang Guangliang, and the four of them chatted while eating.

After tasting the food cooked by Huang Qian, the blood red and the skeleton couldn't help but praise Huang Qian's virtue, not only was she quiet, but she could also keep a home in order. Huang Qian just smiled and didn't say anything.

"Alas, it's a pity that such a beautiful girl as you actually fell in love with this kid, and I don't know how much shit he stepped on in his last life." Blood Red exaggerated.

The skeleton also nodded and said, "If I want to have such a haode girlfriend, I will definitely not be willing to let her work hard and raise her at home every day." ”

Chen Ping secretly smug and at the same time counterattacked, "Okay, just a lewd man like you two, plus you are fat, which girl can take a fancy to you?" Unless they are blind. ”

The four of them chatted about homely things, and after drinking a bottle of wine, Xuehong suddenly said: "If the cigarette man is still there, he will definitely be on the list this time, alas." ”

Several people were silent, and Zuihou still Chen Ping spoke.

"Yanda's departure is due to family reasons, and we have not personally experienced this kind of thing, so it is inconvenient to say more. Everyone's fate is different, and so are their choices. Speaking of smoke, I have to warn you. When Chen Ping spoke, his demeanor also became serious.

The skeleton and the blood red looked at him like this, and they also put down the wine glass, quietly waiting for his next words, for Chen Ping's vision, they were very convinced, Huang Qian was the first time to see Chen Ping speak so seriously, naturally he also wanted to know what he wanted to remind the two gods, and he also stared at Chen Ping, only to feel that Chen Ping, who was serious, looked like a unique charm, very special, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"The fact that the digital website did not hesitate to pay a high price to directly buy out the works of Yanda and other authors is a big deal, and it is also a manifestation of boldness. Personally, I think that this action of the digital website is definitely worth the money, and the popularity that Yanda and other authors have brought to them is absolutely impossible to measure with money, and when the popularity of their website is completely up, a large amount of popularity will definitely drive the income of other authors, and when the time comes, it is time for them to harvest. Similarly, there must be more than this company in China that has taken a fancy to the fat of online novels, especially after the announcement of the financial statements at the beginning of this year, it will definitely make a lot of people red, 06 years, maybe the next year, there must be other companies to acquire or inject capital into the online website, when the time comes, it is inevitable, they will definitely start with the starting point, after all, an emerging website needs to be pressed by the gods to survive, and the starting point is the best choice for them to dig the wall. ”

Speaking of this, Xuehong couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Yes, when the digital website found me at that time, you specifically told me to let me think about it carefully." Now it seems that you still have a unique vision. If I also go to a digital site, although I have a regular income every year, I certainly don't have such an income as this year. Moreover, once bought out, people will be inert, no matter how good or bad I can get so much money, I don't give myself the opportunity to be lazy? If such a mentality really arises, it will be considered a complete waste. After speaking, he glanced at Chen Ping gratefully.

"After Yanda ran away, the starting point has increased the treatment given to the author, Brother Ping, do you mean, if this situation occurs again in the future, will the starting point increase the treatment given to us?" Skeletons are also very related, after all, they involve their own income.

Chen Ping thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Not necessarily, last time it was the action of the digital website that was a little secretive, so I could be caught off guard." If you still run away directly like Yanda, the high price of liquidated damages alone can make us go bankrupt directly, so if there is really a situation where the website poachs people in the future, the price paid will definitely be countless times higher than that of the digital website. ”

"Then you are equivalent to being tied to the starting point?" Huang Qian suddenly interjected, and seeing that the three of them were looking at her, she quickly got up and said, "There is still soup in the kitchen, I'll take a look." ”

Waiting for Huang Qian to leave, Chen Ping said: "If nothing else, we are indeed tied up." But after saying this, Chen Ping's eyes suddenly flashed a fine light, and he continued: "However, our contracts are basically signed at the same time, so the starting point does not dare to embarrass us now, and at the same time, I also hope that after waiting for the expiration of a contract, we can work together to propose modifications to the content of the platinum contract." lest you really put yourself in a dilemma in the future!
