Chapter 601: Cultural Communication System (21)
"Boss, I think that we can only be said to have advantages and disadvantages compared with the Astronomical Network.
The disadvantage is the speed of our updates.
Not as fast as the Astronomical Network.
They are updated every day, we only update twice a month, and sometimes the amount of updates in one month is not as good as the amount of updates in two days.
In addition, the number is not comparable, which is also a disadvantage.
The number of serials in our magazine is limited, a total of only about 100 pages, and each issue can only serialize a fixed number of articles, but the Astronomical Network is different, they only increase and do not decrease.
It is completely incomparable in quantity.
In addition, some readers may just like one or two serials in our magazine, and some of them don't really like it, and they don't even buy it back.
But because the magazine can't be split up and sold.
So they can only buy it back together.
And each book on the Astronomy Network is divided from each other, readers like this one, then order this one, and don't subscribe to another book if they don't like it.
Even if you don't like any chapter in this book, you can skip this chapter, or abandon it directly.
The rest of the rest is not subscribed.
This is much more flexible and free than we are. ”
The editor-in-chief of Fantasy Magazine, after talking about the disadvantages, paused, and quickly talked about his own advantages:
"That, what I just said are disadvantages, advantages, we must also have, for example, there is a difference between the physical book and the ethereal data on the Internet, there is still a difference, when encountering some special favorites, most people are willing to buy a physical book collection, and compared with the good and bad in the astronomy network, our magazine is more sophisticated, and there is no doubt about it.
So we can go to the essence.
Increasing publicity efforts and the like can even make people slightly attack the inferior and low-end of online literature. ”
"There's no difference between what you suggest and what you don't say.
In the final analysis, isn't it the routine of improving product quality and maliciously suppressing opponents, boss, I mean it's still like just now, going against the torrent of the times, it is definitely self-defeating, we only have two choices now.
Or follow up and start a literary network yourself.
Either it will slowly decay, not the decline of one of our magazines, but the decline of the vast majority of magazines, and I can foresee that most of the magazines will go out of business, and only a few will remain, barely relying on the publishing industry and the like to survive. ”
The editor-in-chief of the science fiction magazine is still the same as before, this is the sensitivity he has gained from years of experience in the industry, and the decaying traditional literature and the newspaper that is gradually shrinking are all lessons from the past.
The torrent of the times rolls forward.
Anyone who wants to block it is a mantis arm blocking the car.
On this issue, many editors-in-chief and editors-in-chief on the scene have put forward a lot of views and suggestions in the future, and finally concluded that:
As long as computers are not fully popularized, then they still have room to survive, but it is inevitable that the profits of the industry will be eroded, and it is inevitable that the cake will be divided by the astronomical network.
So in the end, they are the natural choice.
While improving themselves, they must also enter the online literature industry, and they must not let the Astronomical Network dominate, even in order to cooperate with the Astronomical Network in the future and increase their own right to speak, they must also enter this industry and occupy a certain share.
Therefore, as soon as the meeting ended, they immediately began to contact the authors in large quantities, collect the current inventory of the cage magazine, and those that had been published and published in the past, so as to prepare in advance for the opening of their company's unique online literature website in the future.
Compared to others, at this point.
They still have the upper hand.
People in other industries want to enter this line of cake and divide the cake, the first thing they lack is the works and authors, but the main project of their company is the entertainment industry, with more than a dozen magazines, and there are not many authors who have signed contracts, but there are not too many authors who are connected, and there are not necessarily many classics, but ordinary ones can be read, and thousands of copies can still be easily taken out.
And a few thousand copies are enough to last for a while.
They can then go ahead and reach out to the author to contribute or invite the author to their literary site.
Compared with the Astronomical Network, which does not even have a publishing house, they still have advantages, and most authors who are willing to publish and feel that they can only be regarded as authors by publishing books will definitely be more willing to enter their literary network.
The most important thing is that there are more readers by the author.
They could have gotten another vote.
If excellent works are serialized in magazines, they should also indirectly increase the number of authors and magazine sales.
At the same time, other literary companies such as magazines have made the same choice, carried out reform and innovation, and entered the online literature industry.
But more often than not, there is still no choice, or you can only go with the flow or strive to improve yourself.
Because not all magazines belong to a large company, there are more than a dozen magazines under it, and some magazines may have a single magazine and only operate one or two magazines, and such magazines do not have enough capital to participate in the work writers and the like.
There are also some small magazines that have poor sales in the first place, or are just small regional magazines, may not be aware of this problem, so how can there be any change or anxiety?
So it didn't take long for Ding Yun to find out.
The Astronomical Network has many more competitors.
There are even many authors who have changed jobs one after another because they value the literary networks founded by several large cultural enterprises, which have broad publishing channels, distribution channels and influence, and some even directly default and jump ship.
Fortunately, Ding Yun's core pillars are the works she bought from the bookstore of the cultural communication system.
The authors of those works are not in this world, and the uploading and publishing of all works are also handled by Ding Yun and artificial intelligence, so they don't want to change jobs, but there are many people who pay high money to poach people.
That's all.
Therefore, although these changes have brought a certain impact to Ding Yun's Astronomy Network, the overall impact is not large, and the number of readers lost is not very large.
However, this also made Ding Yun realize that today's paper media still has a certain influence, and most people also trust paper media more, hoping that their works can be printed on the print media, rather than just being disseminated on the Internet.
Therefore, she soon began to buy some magazines and publishing houses that were about to go out of business, and even began to buy some small film and television production companies and the like.
Anyway, these industries will have to be involved sooner or later.
Wouldn't it be better to put the frame up in advance?
