After sending off the two editors, Li Yuntao inevitably explained to his parents the editors' intentions.

In fact, it's nothing, it's just that the new book "My AI Girlfriend" is very popular, and it also has the potential for comic adaptation.

It's just that there was a little disagreement with the editorial department about whether to sell the comic adaptation to a comic studio that doesn't know the roots, or to find someone to partner in the adaptation, and now it has been resolved.

Basically, the editorial department is satisfied, because the comic adaptation can obtain income in the form of a share, which is stronger than directly selling the adaptation copyright.

Li Yuntao was also satisfied, because, Li Yuntao said that the cartoonist he found was his fan, so he could adapt the comic well. Instead of looking for a comic studio that doesn't understand the original book at all and just wants to rub off on the popularity of IP.

As for the income of Li Yuntao's new book, he received a reward of about 10,000 yuan last month before it was put on the shelves, and after deducting 50% of the cost of website channels, the manuscript fee for the new book alone is more than 5,000 yuan.

This is still not on the shelves, and the general reward income can only be regarded as desserts, and the real income of online writers should be the paid chapter sharing after the shelves.

Of course, tipping can also be understood as a phenomenon of popularity and hardcore fans.

In general, there are different levels of readers' recognition of the work.

Minimum Recognition – Not interested at all, no time is wasted on this kind of book, whether the book is paid or free.

Preliminary recognition - may be due to factors such as the theme of the book, the title of the book, the cover, the opening plot, etc., after reading a little bit, it is between readable or not.

Basic Identification - Chasing the plot of the general book, I was once attracted. After that, between paying and not paying, it is possible to pay to read some chapters, and it is possible to search for pirated copies.

Relatively agreeable - recognizing the quality of this book, I will choose to subscribe to the paid chapters, but I may not be able to vote for monthly tickets and rewards to support the author.

Hardcore recognition - not only the VIP paid chapters are fully booked, but also the monthly pass and reward will also be left to the author, and this one is the most favored among the thousands of books on the website.

There are a lot of rewards before they can be put on the shelves, and in this case, the results of the book on the shelves should be worth looking forward to. Under normal circumstances, the subscription income after being put on the shelves is generally several times, dozens or even hundreds of times that of the tip.

"In other words, you are really popular with this book?" asked the mother.

"Yes. According to the current results, Li Yuntao estimated a little, if there are no irresistible factors, then, the rise of the new book, Xiaohong, there should not be much suspense.

This is not only a matter of blind self-confidence, but more importantly, Li Yuntao at least has a certain understanding of the reader market at the starting point. You know, the data before the starting point is put on the shelves, the gold content must be very high.

Some relatively small websites rely on the small scale of the website and the inability to find pirated works to maintain the extremely high payment rate of the website. But the great thing about the starting point is that even though piracy is everywhere, there are still a large number of loyal readers who are willing to pay for the genuine version.

It is precisely for this reason that many authors in the industry feel that they can be regarded as gods if they can get results in China Literature. The results of some other unknown small platforms need to be treated with a certain discount.

"Since the new book has achieved results, let's write it seriously, don't move and be ambitious, think the next one is better, and open the next one. Dad suddenly interjected.

"Understood!"

Li Yuntao also knows that he always fantasizes about the next one will be popular. I often open one book after another, but I am reflecting that if the last book was written for a longer time, it might be better than this one.

......

Dream Eater World.

Cang Shuhong made herself a cup of black tea in the rented apartment.

likes to drink black tea, which is also the reason for the red letters in her pen name. This black tea, in fact, was given by Li Yuntao, and it is not a top-level black tea, but only a ration tea that Li Yuntao bought on the Internet. It is more than 200 per catty, I feel very good, and no matter how expensive the price of tea is, Li Yuntao can't tell the good from the bad.

The black tea that Cangshuhong drank before was basically British black tea. After all, most of the black tea in the international market is British-funded brands such as Lipton and Darjeeling.

China's black tea is not exported to the outside world, and even export-oriented black tea like Keemun black tea has made a lot of changes in order to cater to the taste of foreigners.

Although Li Yuntao does not have much research on tea, he also knows that Chinese tea culture can be regarded as the birthplace and master of tea culture. There are at least different brands of tea, such as green tea, black tea, yellow tea, white tea, black tea, etc.

There are also a bunch of black tea types, Min red - Jin Junmei, Da Hong Pao. Qimen black tea, Yunnan red, Yingde black tea, Ning Hong, Yue Hong, etc......

For example, what Li Yuntao drank recently was Ning Hong.

The history of Ning Hong can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.

First, JX tea was famous all over the world, and then there was the rise of Jingdezhen's ceramic industry. It's just that now people only remember the porcelain of Jingdezhen, and forget that the porcelain of Jingdezhen flourished only when it matched the local tea culture.

Moreover, to be honest, tea is not very expensive in China. 100 yuan a catty, a catty can buy a drinkable ration tea,

A few hundred pounds, not too particular about packaging, tea is already quite good.

Moreover, the tea can be brewed more open, and one brew of tea can be drunk from morning to night. If you are mentally tired, at most you can change to a new brew of tea, no matter how you think about it, it will save more money than coffee, tea powder, etc.

Not only that, coffee, tea powder and the like are easy to get greasy, but complete tea leaves may not be the case.

"Tea bags and tea powder are not the real essence of tea culture, the complete leaves and aroma are called tea tasting. Ning Hong, originated in JX, the famous tea of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the development of Jingdezhen porcelain is to match the tea culture of JX. So, taste black tea, you should go to taste this black tea with the longest history!"

Cangshuhong's face was a little hot, and he began to make tea from the teapot with boiling water.

Not long after, a pot of fragrant Fuliang black tea, just the aroma, shocked her spirits.

"It's really different!"

Cangshuhong poured a cup and tasted it slowly.

Compared with British black tea, more attention is paid to the consistency of taste, that is, the origin of the raw materials is not discussed, as long as the purchased tea is adulterated, chopped and ground according to a certain process, erasing the distinctive characteristics of tea from different origins, and in the end, only the unified taste of tea powder and tea bags of different specifications of a certain brand is left.

However, this kind of taste will be greasy after drinking for a long time, and it will lose the true charm of tea.

And drinking the whole tea again, Cangshuhong felt that it was completely different from the black tea she had drunk before.

"Tea from different origins has different cultures and charms. If, only tasting tea leaves that have been polished into powder by commercial companies, it is a desecration of tea culture. ”

Truly.

I felt it.

Teacher Cang Shuhong closed his eyes, feeling a hint of surprise and slight sweetness.
