Chapter 23 Fishing and Work Combined
Back home.
Li Yuntao just opened the door with the key.
"How's it going?" asked the mother in a gossipy tone.
"What's going on?" Li Yuntao replied.
"With that girl named Zhang Jiajia. The mother asked, "How are you talking in the café?
"It's okay to chat, you see, we added WeChat to each other. She knew that I was writing the book at the beginning, and I knew that she was opening a store on Taobao. Li Yuntao was simply confused.
"Come on, Zhang Jiajia, this girl, was introduced by a local acquaintance, and her character is okay. Locals, never in love. The mother praised the other party as a flower, "Hurry up!"
"Okay, I'll be in touch when I have time. Li Yuntao slandered in his heart, this is only the surface, in fact, people don't look down on him at all.
After coping with the interrogation of his parents, Li Yuntao hid in his room, opened the writer's assistant app on his mobile phone, and found that the data of "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai" seemed to have reached a new level.
The new book is only a little over 100,000 words, but the collection has risen to 35,000, according to this momentum estimate, the first 50,000 collections on the shelves should be no problem, that is, maybe this book can challenge the boutique.
The starting point of the early years is unattainable.
However, with the development of the times, the total market share of the online literature market has exceeded 15 billion yuan. The major leading platforms all have an annual turnover of billions of yuan.
As the starting point of China Literature, the largest platform in the industry, the number of active users and the market size have naturally risen with the development of the industry, and the average subscription of more than 3,000 is not a great achievement.
At the starting point, the share within China Literature Group is not the mainstream. The number of active users is only one-twentieth of that of the sister platform QQ. Even so, the scale of users at the starting point has not shrunk compared to the peak of the past.
For example, it used to take ten years to accumulate more than 600 high-quality books. But now just the starting point platform, there are no less than 400 high-quality new books a year. Moreover, the number and speed of new books incubated every year are far faster than in the past.
Of course, ordinary writers who have just broken through the threshold of high-quality products may have a monthly manuscript fee of 10,000 yuan, which is not an unattainable myth.
However, at least with a base of subscription results above the boutique level, you will get more opportunities. For example, for books above the quality level, the probability of copyright adaptation is far greater than that of street books.
Li Yuntao knew that Cang Shuhong had a talent for comics, and he was also preparing to adapt this book into comics. If you can convince the editorial department of China Literature to support the release of the comic adaptation of "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Mourning", the best way to persuade will definitely be the results of the book!
"Come on, little goal, try to make this book a masterpiece. Li Yuntao cheered himself up, wrote a book for ten years, and didn't even have a fine book, and it really hurt his self-esteem to say it.
......
After completing the day's code word task, Li Yuntao began to open the Wanjie Jiayuan network again, exchange feelings with the girl, and touch the fish by the way.
Of course, because of Miss Cangshuhong, it helped him a lot, so that touching fish can also be combined with work.
Therefore, Li Yuntao likes the platform of Wanjie Jiayuan too much.
"Sister Cangshu, the small goal of this book is to be a high-quality product! I think that only by obtaining the results above the quality can we get more recognition and support from the editorial department, and the original work can be changed into a comic in this world. Li Yuntao took a screenshot of the data counted by the writer's background to Cang Shuhong and said.
"Okay! Little Brother Li's ambition is commendable!" Cang Shuhong said encouragingly, "In terms of stories, I have confidence in Li Jun. In terms of writing, I will also try to do my best. ”
To put it simply, don't look at Li Yuntao and Cang Shuhong are both serialized writers, but this level is definitely different. Because, in theory, the platform of online novels can accommodate unlimited authors, and if it is not limited by the recommended publicity resources of major platforms, the number of contracted authors can be more.
The platform on which Cangshuhong's comics are serialized is "Young JUMC" in the world of Dream Eaters, RB's top comic magazine, and such magazines receive tens of thousands of submissions every year, but the number of serialized ones is only 20.
According to the mouth of the late manga artist Taro Kawaguchi in the world of Dream Eaters, the probability of becoming a professional manga artist is only 1 in 100,000 if a manga lover who aims for a long-term serialization of "Shonen JUMC" will become a professional manga artist.
Therefore, in terms of the cruelty of competition, it is far more than the online literature industry that Li Yuntao is engaged in.
Of course, the cruel meaning of competition is that after getting ahead, the income is far more than ordinary work.
The cost of each page of the manga for "Shonen JUMC" in the world of Dream Eaters seems to be more than 10,000 yen. But this is only the manuscript fee for serialization, in fact, the majority of the income of cartoonists is to reach a certain level of popularity and publish a single book. The remuneration share of a single book is the bulk of the remuneration of top comic book writers.
A top cartoonist with millions or even tens of millions of copies of a single book is enough to stand at the pinnacle of the RB publishing market in terms of commercial income alone.
Even if it didn't reach that top-level level, but before Cangshuhong's previous comics were cut in half, he also published a single book. The sales of several episodes of the single book add up to nearly a million copies. Although, you need to share the manuscript fee equally with Nakai Qiaolang. However, he also received more than 20 million yen in remuneration.
It is also by virtue of the comic manuscript fee that Cangshuhong has not graduated from university, and he has been able to worry about food and clothing in Tokyo.
To put it simply, Cangshuhong's status in the comics industry is at least equivalent to that of domestic online writers and god-level writers. This is a much more powerful boss than ordinary boutique and long-term writers.
Thinking of pretending to be forced in front of Cang Shuhong and pointing out the country to her, in retrospect, it not only made Li Yuntao blush.
After all, with Cangshuhong's qualifications, even if he can't be serialized on "Young JUMC", he can be serialized in second-tier comic magazines with a lower grade, and the treatment is still far higher than Li Yuntao's current goal.
"By the way, Sister Cang Shuhong, what about your new comics?" asked Li Yuntao.
"I still need to work hard!" Cang Shuhong said embarrassedly, "The editorial department serialized the meeting, and thought that this was a very good story, but I was not able to perform well in the way of comics." ”
"How could it be?" Li Yuntao said puzzled.
In fact, Cang Shuhong's literary talent surpasses that of comics in Li Yuntao's opinion. Such a writer Miaozi, why is he determined to be a cartoonist. Because ...... the world view of "Dream Eater", the status of cartoonists is higher than that of writers, celebrities, and other professions.
Throughout the story, the cartoonists, positive or important characters, are trying to improve their abilities and constantly find the comic themes they are good at and the market likes.
Although, Cang Shuhong has also worked hard to learn art and comic skills, but after all, he is not as talented as his new wife Eiji and Yacheng Mu Yumeye combination.
This is not to say that she is not suitable for comic creation, but there is still a certain gap compared to the top geniuses. But even so, her progress is very fast, but her efforts have not yet been recognized by the market.
"Just look at it. Cang Shuhong passed the first 50 pages of the comic, that is, the content of the 2 words ready to be serialized, to Li Yuntao.
