Chapter Twenty-Eight: No More Renewal of the Sending Blade
Late at night, after the gentle Chu He appeased Liu Zhiqing in the air, he bought a wave of codewords for the follow-up content of "Poetry and the Sea".
"It must be 180,000 words, right?" Chu He counted the number of words in his brain while tapping on the keyboard.
He earns a lot of pleasure these days, so he buys it big and can't wait to enjoy "Poetry and the Sea".
After he appreciated it, he would type it out and send it to Liu Qiang, and there was no fixed time and number of words, anyway, he would send it over.
"If each issue is serialized with 20,000 words, 180,000 words will have to be serialized for nine months, which is simply torment for readers." Chu He understood this feeling, when he didn't have pleasure value before, he couldn't buy "Poetry and the Sea", his heart was like a cat scratching, and he couldn't bear to die.
And the readers have to wait slowly month after month, which is miserable. What's even worse is that "Poetry and the Sea" is a series, which, like "The Three-Body Problem", can be divided into three parts, with millions of words. If this is serialized month by month, readers can catch up until the child is born.
Chu He is still very kind and cares about readers.
After he finished the code, he deliberately logged on to Weibo to take a look, and it was good to answer the reader's private message.
He was taken aback by this landing, and the number of Weibo fans was approaching 200,000, which is about to catch up with Internet celebrities.
The number of comments is even more numerous, and the private messages are about to explode.
Chu He opened the private message to check it, and was stunned on the spot.
"Chu Xiaohe, hurry up and update "Poetry and the Sea", how many local tyrants have rewarded you, don't you read it?"
"Chu Dada, "Poetry and the Sea" has topped the daily sales list of China Literature, and it all depends on the local tyrants to reward and rush to the list, you don't repay them for anything?"
"Ask for more, I gave you fifty yuan of my pocket money a day!"
The style of these netizens is obviously different from the style in the forum, they are not the same readers, they should be readers of China Literature.
Chu He smelled a hint of gunpowder, and many readers seemed to want to hack themselves to death.
He looked at them one by one, was dazzled, and found a lot of swearing, and many readers were so irritable that they had only one purpose, to update!
Chu He's mentality is very stable, but this is also smacking his tongue, and "Poetry and the Sea" is also popular on China Literature?
He remembers that when he went to see it before, only readers of "Science Fiction World" were there to read reviews, and the popularity was relatively average.
I didn't expect it to suddenly explode today.
Chu He hurriedly logged on to China Literature to check and saw that the lonely "Poetry and the Sea", which was only 20,000 words, had more than one million hits!
What is this concept? One million people clicked on this book, and then looked at the collection, and it broke 100,000!
This can be seen as one person in ten people collecting, which is unusual in the online literature industry, and the point-to-income ratio is too high!
China Literature is worthy of being the leader in the industry, and the traffic is terrifyingly high, but what is even more terrifying is the traffic absorption capacity of "Poetry and the Sea".
There are also a lot of local tyrants on the reward list, and there are more than a dozen local tyrants who have rewarded tens of thousands of yuan.
It's only been a few days, huh? That's an exaggeration, right?
Chu He felt a bit fake, even if "Poetry and the Sea" was good-looking, it wouldn't be so popular, after all, this is not a science fiction circle, but an online literature circle.
How do clicks come about? Why do local tyrants give so many rewards for 20,000 words of new books?
He took a hard look at the comments, and there were thousands of floors in the most popular comment posts.
"Is China Literature retarded? 20,000 words of new books to Lao Tzu APP? Go to Nima, Spicy Chicken website. ”
This comment is at the top, and the readers inside are also frantically complaining about the mysterious operation of reading the article.
But more often than not, it is to refute the landlord.
"You're mentally retarded, after you finish reading it, this is a book by a big man in the science fiction industry, which can be called the second "Three-Body Problem"!"
"People know how to make money better than you, so what if the number of words is less? In this wave of closures, how many local tyrants have been fished for rewards? More than 100,000 yuan was easily credited to the account. ”
"I'm a reader of the science fiction world, and I've been paying attention to "Poetry and the Sea", in fact, there was no big seal push at the beginning, only the announcement of the whole platform where the great god entered, but yesterday it was suddenly closed and pushed. Obviously, the results of "Poetry and the Sea" exploded, and China Literature hurriedly tweeted it, not mentally retarded. ”
Chu He understood, it turned out that China Literature operated a wave and forcibly let readers see "Poetry and the Sea", which was bold enough.
But what's the deal with tipping? Hundreds of thousands of RMB? Local tyrants are so casual?
Chu He continued to read the comments, and then shrunk his neck when he saw it.
"Reward, force the author to add more, according to the rules, an alliance leader will add ten more!"
I don't know which guy is spreading rumors, and the more they spread, the more exaggerated they become, and some people even say in the post that as long as there is a reward for the author, he will definitely add more.
Isn't this Nima a pit chu river?
That's how hundreds of thousands of yuan were cheated?
There are many comments, and there are already tens of thousands, which shows the popularity of "Poetry and the Sea".
But the comments all asked for more, otherwise send blades, blast the official website of "Science Fiction World", and report "Poetry and the Sea" to promote cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
Chu He shook off two drops of sweat, the system's masterpiece is really awesome.
Chu He had to admit that he had always underestimated the value of "Poetry and the Sea". In fact, if you study this book carefully, you can find that it is suitable for all ages, and it does not have the style of ordinary old pedants.
The main line is clear, the pattern is clear, the characters are plump, the contradictions are prominent, and the most simple words are used to write the pinnacle of science fiction, and the gorgeousness in this simplicity is like a pearl in the ocean, which makes people can't take their eyes off.
Once the reader enters the pit, he will not be able to extricate himself, and "Poetry and the Sea" can be renamed "Poetry and the Pit", and this "pit" refers to the foreshadowing in the novel.
Chu He is killed and not updated, readers are waiting to be fed in the pit, can they not scold their mother?
"It's a bit too much not to update." Chu He smiled bitterly, he wanted to update, but the contract stipulated that he couldn't update, which was a matter for China Literature Group and Science Fiction World.
"I'm sorry friends." Chu He withdrew from Reading Literature and posted a dynamic on Weibo: "Don't worry, see you on time on June 2." ”
Suddenly, the ocean of comments is coming.
"See Nima, in the end, not more? Don't report your book more! ”
"Author, listen to me, now online articles are more in pursuit of writing and storytelling, and they are no longer pretending to be Xiaobaiwen. You just happened to meet the right time and place, and working hard to update is the next platinum god, don't be lazy! ”
"This book is so good, yesterday I was puzzled by how to recommend a new book of 20,000 words, it turned out to be the boss of "Science Fiction World", Mo Da, ask for an update."
Chu He didn't dare to read the comments, and he felt a little like a thief. He exited the page and went to sleep.
By this time, it was past midnight, and the bustling big city was gradually quieting down.
However, the "Science Fiction World" editorial building is still noisy.
Liu Qiang, Mr. Ye, Yuan Huaying, and several key editors are discussing enthusiastically.
"China Literature said that the results of "Poetry and the Sea" exceeded their expectations, and they are responsible for the readers and are not allowed to update it once a month." Yuan Huaying knocked on the table, heroic and compelling.
Although she is in her forties, the beauty of her youth has not completely faded, and her charm is still there.
Mr. Ye sat next to her, looking at a report with trembling fingers, which was the transcript of "Poetry and the Sea".
"Click 1.2 million, collect 130,000, reward 120,000 RMB, it's too fierce! This is just the beginning, if the clicks break 10 million in the future, wouldn't it be ...... The courage of China Literature is even greater than ours, and they are now promoting "Poetry and the Sea"! What a big deal! ”
The corners of Mr. Ye's mouth were wide open, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
Liu Qiang was also laughing, tired and excited, as if he had drunk a large case of Red Bull after an all-nighter.
"I studied online texts last year, and there are two major types of online texts, one is Xiaobaiwen and the other is Laobaiwen. Xiao Baiwen is pretending to be forced to slap his face, while Lao Baiwen does not have too many vulgar bridges, and is more elaborate in writing and storytelling. Now that Lao Baiwen is dominant, "Poetry and the Sea" can be regarded as a good time. Liu Qiang rubbed his hands and said, excited.
Yuan Huaying put down the coffee and smiled the same: "The articles in the world, regardless of whether they are small or white, will naturally be read by people if they are good-looking, I have pressed the treasure, and the reading article has also pressed the treasure, a win-win situation." ”
"What about the conditions of reading? They asked us for daily updates. Mr. Ye put away some smiles.
Their magazine company relies on magazines to live, and if "Poetry and the Sea" is serialized every day in China Literature, then the magazine will not be able to mix.
Several backbones were lost in thought, torn between a dilemma.
Yuan Huaying was not entangled at all, but sighed a little: "The value of "Poetry and the Sea" is no longer something that our magazine can control, it is fermenting on the Internet, once the number of words of "Poetry and the Sea" increases and the influence spreads outside the industry, it will be a phenomenal novel, and a mere magazine can't trap it." ”
What this means is that the magazine must give in and give "Poetry and the Sea" more space.
"What if that's the case?" Mr. Ye is in a hurry, without "Poetry and the Sea", the science fiction world will be in a state of semi-bankruptcy again.
"Tell Chu He that we want to book the physical publishing copyright and directly help him publish the book." Yuan Huaying waved his hand, "There are three parts, the first part is 200,000 words, for "Poetry and the Sea I", Chu He opened a new book after reading the text and updated "Poetry and the Sea I", the name is "Poetry and the Sea II", and so on. ”
Several people were shocked and showed joy.
Mr. Ye was greatly admired: "You are worthy of being the president, you have been staring at three watermelons, we are still pondering a sesame seed, and our brains can't turn around!" ”
