Chapter 15: Motivate each other
"With our industry's largest website, China Literature Group, the parent company behind it, Tencent, has a market value of nearly HK$4 trillion. Well, if it's hard to understand, it's probably close to the market value of about $600 billion. China Literature itself is also a listed company, and its market capitalization is about $10 billion when converted into US dollars. In terms of operating income, last year's revenue was about more than 4 billion yuan, and the manuscript fee issued was more than 1.3 billion yuan for practitioners. Moreover, the development speed of this industry far exceeds that of the traditional publishing and entertainment industry, and it is still in a state of rapid growth, and because there is no submission threshold, it has created the illusion that many people feel that I can do it, so every day, hundreds of newcomers continue to submit, so almost every day is like going to the battlefield, competing with countless people. Only a few particularly good writers can earn astronomical income. Countless newcomers with dreams and those at the bottom of the street just continue to use the income of those top writers to motivate their code word motivation. ”
Cang Shuhong couldn't help but be surprised and said: "It can be seen that the competition is very fierce! However, it is already much better than "Young JUMC", at least the qualification for serialization of the work is easier to obtain than "Young JUMC". ”
"Shonen JUMC", the magazine of the Dream Eater World, can be understood as the "Shonen JUMP" in reality.
After all, "Shonen JUMC" is just a magazine with only a few hundred pages. Each issue can only hold 20 serialized works, plus some short works.
Only serialized works can be said to be professional cartoonists.
The first-tier and second-tier comic magazine platforms of the entire RB have no more than 500 serialized positions.
In other words, if you can support 500 cartoonists for a long time, one professional cartoonist, and 4 assistants, you can probably make more than 2,000 cartoonists become professional cartoonists with a stable income.
And the crowd that aspires to become a professional cartoonist is in the thousands. Many people don't even have the qualifications for short stories, let alone the precious qualifications for serialization.
Since the circle of professional manga artists is relatively small, RB's top manga magazines basically require manga artists who can live in Tokyo in a stable manner, so that they can communicate with the editors in charge of their works in a more timely manner.
And the authors of China's online literature are distributed all over the country, and there are too many of them. An editor manages at least hundreds or thousands of contracted authors, and simply can't follow up as meticulously as one or two serialized cartoonists like JUMP.
Although there are many differences between the online literature and comic industries, they are essentially serialized pastimes to please readers, and there are countless people in both markets who want to get ahead, but it is very difficult to really become popular.
"Yes!" Li Yuntao said, "So, I want to seize the opportunity to strive for this book to be better, rather than waiting for the next one." ”
"Come on! Li Yuntaojun, I will work hard with you!" Cang Shuhong said when he heard this, "The comics on my side, the progress can be slowed down, and I will help you change the original novel first!"
......
The world of Dream Eater.
After ending the exchange with Li Yuntao, Cang Shuhong covered his red face and said in his heart: "What's wrong with me? Is it in love?"
Teacher Cang Shuhong, who has never been in love, doesn't know what it's like to be in love, but the recent chat with Li Yuntao on Wanjie Jiayuan made her feel that this feeling of cheering each other up and encouraging her made her full of passion.
Both emotionally and creatively, they have obtained great satisfaction.
In the past, Mr. Cangshuhong's works were more personal, whether it was novels or comics. It's mainly her personal little emotions, including editing, which rarely interfere with her creation.
But now Cang Shuhong not only adopted Li Yuntao's "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wai" as the original work of her comics, but also actively helped Li Yuntao revise the original text of the novel.
It can be said that without Cangshuhong's revision, Li Yuntao's original text can only be regarded as a third-rate level.
However, Cang Shuhong's writing, as well as the creative passion for changing the text from the perspective of a fan, are no less than Li Yuntao, the original creator.
"Maybe Mr. Yacheng Mu Mengye was able to create such a good work, and it was also the inspiration that the two of them collided with each other. ”
Cangshuhong didn't know what's going on, the image of the sincerest and Takagi Akito in the combination of Yacheng Mu Yumeha in his mind has become an attack and a ......
There is no way, she is rotten, and the culture of rotten girls makes her think about it a little, and that kind of picture appears in her mind.
Hehehe......
Cang Shuhong can no longer look directly, how have the two friends of Yacheng Mu Mengye been in the same studio for many years.
Got rid of the distracting thoughts of the rotten girl.
Cang Shuhong hummed a song, walked into the kitchen, cooked himself, and cooked an exquisite lunch for himself. Next, after thinking about it, I actually divided a small part of the exquisite lunch I had just made through the gift function of the Wanjie Jiayuan APP, packaged it, and sent it to Li Yuntao.
"Teacher Cang Shuhong sent you a gift, whether to receive it or not. ”
Li Yuntao couldn't help but be stunned, and clicked on receive.
on the table.
A bento box.
opened the box, it was full of a sumptuous lunch, although the amount was very ordinary, but the whole was so exquisite, it still made Li Yuntao feel very appetizing.
"Little brother Yuntao, isn't it very touching to receive my sister's love lunch?"
"Ah, thanks, it looks delicious. ”
"Then eat it while it's hot. ”
......
Sunday, March 11.
2 p.m.
The website signed by Li Yuntao, owned by China Literature, usually changes the list of recommended works at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
The recommendation of "My AI Girlfriend Xiao Wailing" arranged for the first time is a strong recommendation by classification.
Since, this recommendation is not only displayed on the PC web page, but also on the category page of the starting point reading app.
As we all know, smartphones have changed the ecology of the Internet. At the starting point of China Literature's website, most of the traffic also comes from the mobile app client.
Although, the starting point app is not the most mainstream reading app under China Literature. The number of active readers is incomparable with that of QQ under the same group.
However, due to the theme and style of the work, Li Yuntao still chose to sign a contract at the starting point rather than another larger platform under the same group.
Because, the theme of QQ reading is biased towards Xiaobai. The readers who read at the starting point are more inclined to be old and white because of years of precipitation.
Although the active users of the starting point APP cannot be compared with the brother platform. However, there are still millions of monthly active users.
For authors, let alone millions of active users, even if you attract one percent of the users at the starting point and get tens of thousands of monthly active readers, you can still get good results for your work.
And...... There are a large number of old readers among the active users of the starting point, and the genuine payment rate of the starting point platform is very high for more than ten years. At least half of the long-term active starting point users are VIP readers who have recharged.
However, it is precisely because there are many old readers that if you want to get results, the test for the level of the author is also extremely high.
Moreover, no matter what platform, the performance assessment of the work also starts with the recommendation. Recommend good or bad grades to make a judgment. More recommendations are given to works with first-class grades, and fewer recommended resources are given to works with average grades. The results hit the streets, and the recommended resources fell to the freezing point.
After changing the recommendation list.
In just half an hour, more than 200 new collections were brought in.
At the same time, trolls followed.
"What's going on with this book? It's recommended in less than 20,000 words, and it's going through the back door, right?"
"Ma Dan, I don't want to read the title of the book. ”
"20,000 words actually have an alliance leader?
"Damn, the protagonist doesn't people anymore, and he AI instead?"
Li Yuntao looked at these book reviews, and his stomach was on fire.
But he also knows that he can't be like a troll, because of the influx of new readers, if it's just old readers, public opinion in the book review area is relatively quiet.
However, the recommended books generally attract some trolls to spray the book. If you don't see any trolls posting after you get a recommendation, it can only mean that the recommendation effect is too poor, and even the most active trolls don't attract a few.
