Original title: "Nine Gates of Online Literature": "The Master of Mystery" failed to enter the ninth level

Today, on a whim, I researched a new category or level: the nine-fold gate of online literature.

The setting is derived from the title of Han Han's novel "Triple Gate".

The first door: not entered.

To put it bluntly, it's just that I didn't sign a contract.

There are two main types of non-contracting: one is refusal to sign. This kind of person is either like an idle cloud and a wild crane, posting just for fun, not seeking any fame or fortune. Either they are already taking the physical route and posting on the Internet, which is just a marketing tool.

However, having said that, how difficult it is to get through the entity now, just look at the books that those great gods have posted on the Internet, and it is clear to understand.

For example, the rain devil that came out last month at the starting point has been going physical, and now it's starting to go online. The new book "The Dragon King is on Top", after the honeymoon period of the great god's care and capital injection, the decline is very obvious.

The other is that the contract cannot be signed, that is, the novel does not meet the contract standard. Although the review standards of each platform are different, if they do not meet the signing standards, it actually means that the level is almost meaningless. There are many examples that can be cited, such as Cang Yiwei's "Lonely City Sword Immortal" and "Pen Falling Yellow Spring".

The second door: getting started.

The entry here refers to signing a contract, but it is not on the shelves.

First of all, it is a joy to be able to sign a contract, which proves that the results of your efforts are favored by the editor and you can sign a contract. After signing the contract, the tipping function is also opened. The money for the reward is generally the author and the platform. The more you tip, the happier everyone is. It's just that it's generally difficult for new authors to survive by tipping.

Although it is called an entry, if it does not stick to the shelves, it will be eunuch or finished, it is actually incomplete. If you don't put it on the shelves, you can't know what the number of subscriptions is, even if you collect tens of thousands or 100,000 and no one subscribes, it means that it's on the street.

For example, the platinum author's new book "Creation and Transformation Map", although it rubbed Tomato's "Cangyuan Map", but due to unsatisfactory results, the 100,000 manuscripts were invalidated, and the plot will be overhauled. To be an ordinary author, it is no different from a eunuch or a rewrite.

The third door: the front door.

The front door, also known as the money gate, means that the books that open the VIP chapter, and the books that have paid chapters.

There are not many books that can survive to the shelves, compared to signing contracts, because after experiencing the baptism of various recommendation positions, some people have died before they are put on the shelves.

And these books that survived, the first order on the shelves was not ideal, especially the gods, and those that were cut off directly abounded.

For example, the great god writer EK Chocolate, eight books in four years, the frequency of eunuchs is almost comparable to that of the girls' relatives.

Some people also say that putting it on the shelves is the real beginning of a book and determines the fate of the book. Whether it is dead or alive, whether it is a eunuch or a complete book, whether it is a million or 10 million, almost the moment it is put on the shelves, there is a decision.

Of course, there are also some books whose first order results are not ideal, and they will be ordered to exceed 10,000, or even 50,000, by relying on the outbreak or writing or plot. For example, "Global High Martial Arts" in which the eagle eats chickens, "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" in which the words are forgotten, and so on.

The fourth gate: the middle door.

From this point on, it is no longer approved by the standards of unsigned, signed, and put on the shelves, but by the content and style of the novel.

The so-called middle door is a door between the inner door and the outer door, or between the front door and the back door.

It mainly refers to a group of authors who have been on the shelves and have steadily taken full attendance according to their own creative ideas, and they are also the authors with the largest starting point.

After it is put on the shelves, there is no first order or the first order is a single-digit author, so you don't have to think about what to reward.

"Long live the full attendance" is often encountered in various official and private groups, and this is also the group I add the most. Being able to maintain full attendance is actually a thing to be proud of.

Many people are part-time writers, and they are usually very busy with study or work, and it is not easy to ensure a stable update of 4,000 words a day.

For example, Cang Yiwei's "Giant Hit by the Mirror", "Meteor Chasing the Moon" by an uneducated dog, and so on.

The fifth gate: the inner door.

All the inner disciples, compared with the previous ones, have achieved a qualitative leap.

Generally refers to the completion of more than one book, or the author of level 2 or more.

After finishing a book, especially with a million words or more, I am actually very aware of the hardships of online writing, but I still hold a love and go towards the dream of "a million gods", which is particularly commendable and worthy of refills and praise.

Level 2 authors and above, aside from those who rely on strong funds or subtle marketing, and purely rely on readers' subscriptions, are the most admirable.

It takes 10,000 points to reach level 2, which is 10,000 yuan. 4,000 words a day, according to the average reader, only two cents. You can do the math on how many subscriptions are needed to make it happen.

For example: "Player Fierce" by Black Light Summer Fire, "Return to 2006" by Mu Zixin, and so on.

Sixth Gate: Golden Gate.

Specifically for Level 5 authors.

How many level 5 authors there are at the starting point, I don't know. However, for the book that opened in November alone, there were more than 50 authors of the fifth level or above.

These people are all on the shelves for New Year's Day, and I will report the outcome of the immortal fight at that time.

Why do these people belong to the Golden Gate?

Because, their rank is a symbol of money, 150,000. In the eyes of newcomers or ordinary authors, these people are already big guys.

Some people achieve level 5 with a single book, and some people achieve level 5 for the rest of their lives.

is also a fifth-level author, and his income is actually very different, with a high monthly income of 100,000 yuan, and a low one that can't even get full attendance. (Special reference to new books)

These authors have generally formed their own writing style, accumulated a certain number of readers, and the quality of fan culture management will sometimes seriously affect the results of subscriptions.

For example, Yu Yunfei's "The God of American Manga", Mid-Autumn Festival Yueming's "The Great Beauty Era", and so on.

The Seventh Gate: Dragon Gate.

Level 5 author, carp jumps the dragon gate, gets the great god covenant, and the state will be changed to the great god writer.

The conditions are not very clear, and there are folk rumors that there is more than one book with more than 10,000 orders under his name, or a certain genre has been opened, or great achievements have been made that year, and so on.

The duration of the Great God Covenant is also unclear. The contracts are confidential, and no one will leak them.

There are nearly 200 great god writers at the starting point, and less than half of them are famous, have good grades, and can achieve high-quality new book subscriptions.

Many great gods, due to fate, have been generous in the past, and then experienced various things.

For example, running away, getting married, joining the army, being a demon, etc., when I picked up the pen again, I found that the times had long changed.

Many readers no longer buy the accounts of great god writers, and often give up after looking at them twice.

For example, the great god writer 8 difficult "Supreme Agent", with a strong sense of strangeness.

and Pure Di Xiaolong's "Late Night Book House", "Qin Officials" in July, "The King's Life" with a talking elbow, etc., are even more popular than the books of many platinum writers, and even become the leaders of their respective categories.

The Eighth Gate: Dao Gate.

The Gate of the Avenue.

Writing is also a doorway thing, with a lot of techniques and crafts, and a lot of styles and types.

Simply and crudely divided, it is the platinum writers.

In addition to the platinum that has cooled through, let's talk about those who are still thriving.

For example, Chen Dong's "Covering the Sky" trilogy, "Star Change" and "Hongmeng Trilogy" of I Eat Tomatoes, Ergen's "Gods, Demons, Demons, Ghosts, and Immortals" five-part trilogy, and Tang Sanshao's "Douluo Continent" N-part trilogy, these people have built a closely connected world through a series of works, attracting countless fans.

For example, one of the five youths in the Central Plains, the king of IP adaptation in 2018, and his works "Jiang Ye", "Chosen Heaven" and "Celebrating More Than Years" have all been adapted by film and television, some are very successful, and some are very unsuccessful. The greasy book, with a kind of magic, has stepped out of the attributes of online fast food, and it is worth savoring slowly. In particular, "The Road to the Sky" writes a sense of luxury.

For example, a complete set of adaptations of Butterfly Blue's "Full-time Master" has achieved good results. The squid who loves diving, "The Master of Mystery" has long dominated the monthly pass charts, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a classic. The "Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" and "Immortal Chapter" of Forgotten Words carry forward the "mortal flow" created by himself and pass it on on his own.

These people have started the façade and are also the role models for countless readers and authors to follow, each leading the coquettish for three or five years.

The Ninth Gate: The Empty Gate.

Buddhism takes the observation of the "emptiness" of the Dharma as the way to enter the path, so it is called the "empty door". All things arise from treating each other with causes, and there is no fixed and unchanging nature, which is illusory and unreal, and is called "emptiness".

Theoretically, there is indeed this door for online writing. Escaping into the empty door, maybe it's time to seal the pen.

In fact, it can also be said that the writing path that I realized has been pushed to a new level.

It can be understood as constantly innovating, changing one's previous style, trying new genres, and achieving greater success. For example, squid, which loves to dive. He is like a person who does not care about what has been achieved, and strives to create new subjects, "negation of negation", which creates greater affirmation. The market's affirmation of him, the reader's affirmation of him, and God's affirmation of him.

It can also be understood as interpreting the style that has been formed to the extreme. For example, catty. "Jiang Ye" is his personal peak, interpreting the beautiful writing and bizarre plot to the point of incomparable; "Chosen Heaven" reverses human nature and intrigue, light and darkness to the point of collapse; "The Road to the Sky" abandons the environment and psychological description, and pushes everything with a treacherous plot.

Brief summary:

Whether it's a fifth-level, a great god, or a platinum writer, the person who can really reach this door, in my opinion, is not yet.

The above few are only in the middle or late stages of the Eighth Gate, and they have not even reached the Great Perfection.

This is actually a good thing, proving that there is still room for improvement, and it is possible to create more excellent works, which is also the ardent expectation of the majority of readers.

The above is the "Nine Gates"!
