What we want to do is just to make online literature more powerful and beautiful.

On the topic of Zhihu, "Why do people spend money to read pirated online novels, and some people still spend money to read genuine versions?" ”

Under the discussion, there is a gentleman named @Hu Lan who told a story of his own - I remember a long time ago when I was obsessed with "Beast Blood Boiling", I loved the house and Wu, so I turned out the "Blood Flow" written by the author Jing Guan before he became famous.

In addition to the normal bloody bunker plot, there is also the interaction between Jing Guan and a few readers in the PS, and I remember a particularly deep PS is: "I wrote this chapter in an Internet café, because I was going to interview for a chef position today, and I was going to go in the afternoon, so it was written very badly, so please read it." ”

That's right, at that time, Jingguan was still an unemployed young man, an unemployed chef, and the writing of "Blood Flow" at the beginning could only be regarded as a hobby because he didn't make any money at all, or rather, the little money he earned was not enough for him to change his life and concentrate on writing.

Therefore, many chapters in "Blood Flow" were written by him when he went to an Internet café, and occasionally watching his muttering in PS can make you automatically make up a greasy big fat man with a novel dream of smoking and scratching his hair in an Internet café, and occasionally ordering a pot of fried rice with meat is a luxury.

And Jing Guan's original words about the eunuch of "Blood Flow" are: "Do you know, I write down the sections of each chapter with a greasy menu every day between stir-frying, usually I get up at 9:00, and now I get up at 6:30 to code words, typing is slow, only 1000 words in 1 hour, painful ING!" ”

Jing Guan was very bitter at the time, but often mentioned in the interaction that he would definitely finish "Bloodflow", even if it was for the sake of a few important readers who had been supporting him.

But why is "Bloodflow" a eunuch again?

For one reason, poor.

This book is very exciting for me, ** top works with the theme, there are all kinds of factors, reading is real, enjoyable, more hearty than watching martial arts, although the plot is sometimes very bloody, but compared to some of the rest of the bad books are simply masterpieces.

But why is it so beautiful that I can't write about it?

For one reason, poor.

Although he has gathered a lot of die-hard book fans, but these die-hard book fans can issue a limited monthly ticket after all, and in reality, Jingguan is just a little chef with a monthly salary just enough to ensure immortality, for everyone who is eager to support himself with his own words, people in society (see clearly, people in society, except for students), if what he writes is not profitable for a long time and he has to overdraw his rest time, racking his brains to create, many times, it is a kind of torture.

Jingguan is very smart, and his talent for storytelling and simple writing are easy to please the G-spot of ordinary audiences, so in the end, he decisively abandoned the tepid "Blood Flow", and used Liu Zhenzhen, who died at the beginning of "Blood Flow", as the prototype, to improve another YY novel he has been writing, "Beast Blood Boiling".

I know what happened next, and you know it.

The fire of "Boiling Beast Blood" has multiplied Jingguan's die-hard book fans several times, and the number of people who are willing to pay money has continued to increase, and he has also gotten out of trouble because of this book and has become a platinum writer with an annual income of one million.

Why am I saying all this?

It was also said above.

There are no people who have been supporting authors, paying, helping to recommend, forwarding, approving, following, and voting for monthly tickets to buy physical books, where did they come from, and saw the opportunity to watch for free?

On the Internet, no one knows anyone, one day you finally see a fun writer, a fun anchor, a fun UP master, a blogger, a reply can make you spend a happy day and touch your G-spot, if you are afraid that you will not be able to see him after a while, what can you do?

What else can I do?

If you have fish balls, you will send fish balls, if you can click a subscription, you can click a subscription, if you can have a monthly pass, you can build a number to brush a monthly pass, and if you can pay attention, you can pay attention.

If there is nothing left but money, then send money.

If you're a schoolboy, you're definitely going to have to ask why.

Answer you, no why, because you don't do the above things, and others don't do either, if everyone silently watches others use their brains, bodies, and life experiences to make things that make you happy, move you, and make you laugh through a platform.

If everyone expresses their like, the way to express reverence and love is to watch silently, watch for free, use for free, and after reading it, they have to scold the anchors, authors, bloggers, and celebrities for not doing their jobs, receiving advertisements, and engaging in Taobao stores.

The workers of text, video, film, image, and graphic will probably disappear.

After all, from beginning to end, it is always those who pay for the operation of an industry.

These people who pay money include advertisers, publishers, subscribed readers, companies, Taobao merchants, operation teams, websites themselves, and more importantly, audiences who are willing to pay money.

Authors who create excellent things and create a huge amount of traffic.

Say too far, talk about yourself, I believe that everyone who plays with words, hopes that they can play with their words to the value of money, so I put Alipay in the column of the wonderful world, my family is not rich, and people are not strong, so I have always wanted to know whether I am a piece of writing material, whether anyone is willing to pay for what I write.

Up to now, after about three months, I have received a four-figure tip, including 500 yuan from an unknown Haozhi, and only one sentence is attached, "Please continue to write." ”

This is the reason why I have been keeping writing, keeping answering questions, honing words and even writing novels in Zhihu, is that these rewards, follow me, often comment on my answers, like me, and then follow me** The people who add my fan base let me know that if I can write a book one day, they will definitely buy it.

It is their sense of existence and support that gives me unlimited motivation to write, even when I am the busiest and most difficult, I will think about writing some stories, writing some funny words, and writing some complaints that can be read, so that they can laugh, feel moved, and scold my mother.

I'm grateful to them.

In the past thirteen years, we have walked alone, and we have overcome obstacles; It has been misunderstood, but it has also been appreciated.

But all along, our attitude towards piracy has always been resolute - there may be thousands of authors or readers like Mr. @胡岚, who are cultivating their own pure land in literature; And every dedication, encouragement, and support given by readers who love them is the strongest motivation for them to persevere.

What we can do is to use a more perfect system and more generous returns to try our best to protect this soil until it grows majestically.

If there are still some things that are important, we have prepared two gifts for you, I hope you will like it: I hope that everyone who loves novels can experience the time of growing from an unknown author to a platinum god together.
