Chapter 256: Back to the city
Xiao Banxian said: "I'm just afraid that I'll be out of the fog all the time, but I'm not in a hurry, we'll go when you're well, if nothing happens, the other party won't send a demon to attack us again." β
Since it has been decided that Xiao Banxian will tell everyone about going to Yangzhou, everyone will naturally have no opinions.
Although the Taoist earth shrinking technique and the vacating technique are magical, they are extremely energy-consuming and not easy to use for a long time, and the most important thing is not to leave the small party, so everyone decided to go by carriage.
Mo Yan rested for three days before he recovered, and Xiao Banxian asked Xiao Mo to leave early, and they postponed their trip to Yucheng for half a day to buy items.
Xiao Banxian and Mo Liunian went back to the Feng Shui Pavilion first, there is a big difference between the mountains and the city, there is almost no snow in Yucheng, and it is only a few days after leaving, there has been a lot of dust in the hall, Mo Liunian's life is only three years, these three years have been spent here, and now he is really leaving, and he is reluctant.
Xiao Banxian went to get enough coils, and as soon as she walked out of the room, she saw Mo Liunian standing under the jujube tree in a daze, and Xiao Banxian walked to her side: "I will always come back." β
Mo Liunian said: "The world is impermanent, who can say clearly." β
Xiao Banxian said: "I promise you, I will definitely come back." β
Mo Liunian looked up at the little half-immortal, such a serious little half-immortal made her a little unaccustomed, but she missed him a little bit of cynicism.
"Well, we'll be back then. The corners of Mo Liunian's mouth were clear.
The two of them went to pick five more horses and bought a two-horse carriage, and the corners of Xiao Banxian's mouth twitched when he paid the silver, and Mo Liunian laughed when he saw it.
Waiting for the groom to send the horse to the feng shui pavilion, Banxianyi and they also arrived with Xiao Fang, and several people stayed in the feng shui pavilion that night.
Newcomers must see, writing is like starting a business, don't be reckless||2018 starting point male frequency big data analysis
Original: Pajama Bear January 16
Pajama Bear went to a movie with friends yesterday, and it was also the first time Pajama Bear spent money to watch a documentary in a movie theater.
The title of the film is called "Randian".
This is a documentary film that truly records the living conditions of contemporary Chinese entrepreneurs.
The lineup of performances in the film includes Luo Yonghao, founder of Hammer Technology, Dai Wei, founder of OFO Xiaohuangche, papi sauce, co-founder of papitube, Fu Sheng, founder, chairman and CEO of Cheetah Mobile, An Chuandong, founder of cross-border gourmet, Jin Xing, founder of Xinyang, Ma Weiwei, founder of Miguo Culture, Xu Xiaoping, founder of Zhen Fund, Zhang Ying, founding managing partner of Jingwei China, Tang Yan, founder of Momo, Xu Dandan, founder of Lagou Recruitment, Sun Haitao, founder of 51 Credit Card, Meng Lei, the founder of Royal Chartered Travel, Pan Fei, CEO of Royal Chartered Travel, and so on.
Among the above people, there are bigwigs who have successful careers and are listed on the US stock market, as well as young founders who have become famous in one fell swoop and are now in trouble, and there are urban young people who have repeatedly failed and are still insisting on starting their own businesses.
It can be said that this documentary is very good, revealing to us the hardships of entrepreneurs.
Of course, the main purpose of Pajama Bear to write this article today is not to advertise this documentary, after all, there are not many people who are interested in documentaries, if you really say that you want to advertise......
Well, "White Snake: Origin" is very good, it is also an adaptation of classical Chinese mythology, and the picture quality and storyline are not inferior to the previous "The Return of the Great Sage", which is worth watching.
Well, you have to believe me, I'm sure I'll confiscate the money.
With the scale of thousands of readings per day on our official account, we really can't collect money...... (laughs).
Straight to the point.
The reason why I am writing this article today is because there is a scene in this "Randian" that touched me a lot.
A new entrepreneur named An Chuandong (who also has the most scenes in this documentary, can be regarded as the protagonist), went to an investor to solicit investment and introduced the advantages of his project, but was rejected.
In fact, this is a very common thing in pulling investment.
Not to mention starting a business, when Pajama Bear participated in the school club when he was in college, and when he went outside to solicit sponsorship, he often touched a gray nose.
What touched me was the explanation of the investor alone to the camera next.
Explain why he is reluctant to invest in this project.
Since there was no video recording at the time, I can only roughly say the meaning of the original words from memory.
What an investor roughly means:
A large part of today's entrepreneurs are "reckless" entrepreneurs. In fact, they didn't understand the significance of the project they started at the beginning, or even the profit point of the project, and they didn't have enough understanding of the market. It was only through a lot of enthusiasm and the end of not admitting defeat that he broke into the entrepreneurial army.
The founder of Xinnen in the film, An Chuandong, is like this.
At the beginning, he had almost blind confidence in his products, but on the way to operation, he gradually found that he actually did not find the deep profit point of this project, he thought that what he was doing was shared catering, but in the eyes of mature and spicy investors, one sentence broke the essence of his project:
You're not doing shared catering, you're just helping businesses promote it.
The founder of Xinnen didn't want to admit it at first, but then, when he was hit by the market, he had to reflect on it and admit it, and finally terminated the project.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers.
I don't know how others feel when they see this paragraph, but as an editor, I have been in charge of the operation of the literary club for more than a year, met many new authors, answered their questions, read the beginning of what they wrote, and the outline they put together......
I have my own feelings about this episode.
Previously, our founder, Crazy Xiaoqiang, once mentioned a concept:
Writing is a kind of entrepreneurship.
And this concept is also described in the first part of the book "Teach You to Write Online Essays from Zero".
I believe that many friends who have bought and read the book "Teach You to Write Online Essays from Zero Basis" should have a deep feeling about this paragraph.
That's right, writing is a kind of entrepreneurship.
And it can be said that it is one of the lowest-cost entrepreneurship in today's society.
The cost is extremely low: hardware only requires a computer (as many as it can type), no computer, a smartphone for phone bill (I know many young authors are used to typing or voice typing on their phones) - and of course, there are some hardware costs that anyone needs to start a business.
A house that you can live in (no matter how big it is), the cost of daily living.
The rest, all at the cost of the author's time.
And here it is necessary to say something that may not be so nice......
For many young people, time is perhaps the least valuable thing they have β it's too much, it's too much to watch Tik Tok, it's too much to play games......
Write, too......
Other words.
This kind of entrepreneurship does not require high investment in the early stage, and you do not need to rent a faΓ§ade and decorate, and the most you have to pay is some time costs.
But once there is a gain, the return is considerable, even terrifying!
Let me give you an example of a great god here - this is not a matter of privacy, it is something that the great god himself said in public during a meeting.
Who is this great god?
In February 2017, the second selection of the king of online literature, and in May 2018, the third "Orange Melon Online Literature Award" was ranked as one of the "twelve main gods of online literature......
Demon Night.
In the previous activities of the Hunan Provincial Network Writers Association, Demon Night shared his creative process.
That's really worse than all kinds of talent shows......
Well, it's not that bad......
It's just one sentence.
At that time, when Demon Night was writing the online article, it was a turning point in his life - he came back from out of town, no job, no savings - and he was already married at that time.
At that time, his family asked him to go out to work, so he told his wife and told him to give him a month to give it a try.
He tried to see if he could succeed in writing an online article.
Our demon night sister-in-law was so convinced.
So Demon Night wrote the first online article at that time - it should be "The Beast Breaks the Sky" - and read the literature network in the tower.
And then I signed a contract, and it was said that it was ten thousand words or how much at the beginning? I don't remember this very clearly, but it must not be high.
It's just that as the plot progresses, Demon Night also showed his talent in fantasy, coupled with the wireless fire at that time, and then his share became higher and higher, twenty, thirty, fifty, one hundred thousand words......
You can calculate that at the rate of 8,000 words a day, it will be 240,000 words in a month.
If you say 30 words, it is 7,200 yuan a month, which can be regarded as a high salary at that time (12-13 years) - even now, this income must not be considered low.
If you have 50 words in 1,000 words, it is 12,000 a month.
A hundred words in a thousand words is twenty-four thousand.
And now, on last year's Chinese Writers Rich List, Demon Night ranked 15th on the Internet Writers Rich List with an income of 15 million.
Therefore, rejecting the job with a monthly salary of about one or two thousand introduced to him by his family at that time, and turning to online creation, it can be said that Demon Night has made the most bragging rights decision in his life.
(In fact, I've heard him blow about it countless times.)
Of course, here we cite examples of successes, and great successes.
This kind of example is mostly chicken soup in the eyes of many people, because more novice authors, who do not have such a high level of talent, can become a god in one book.
In fact, what I have seen in the Literary Club in the past year is the same.
When many novices are creating, they are actually exactly the same as the new founder in "Randian".
They don't know what the selling point and cool point of the book they wrote are, and they haven't even read a few books on the Internet, especially the more famous ones, and they don't know anything about this market.
But with enthusiasm and momentum, they began to write, and then sent it to various stations......
We certainly can't say that this approach is wrong.
In fact, I didn't think much about it when I wrote my first book.
What routines, writing, and market ......
In a word, just do it!
So much so that after I posted about 10,000 words in my first book, a guy who claimed to be a reader came to me and said to me, the beginning of your book, the paragraph of your previous life (I won't say the specific title, you just need to know that it is a rebirth text), it is too long.
He told me that the part of his previous life didn't make any sense at all, and the reader wouldn't care.
Readers are concerned about how awesome the protagonist is after he is reborn, why do you stay until the emotional drama of your previous life to write so much (in fact, it doesn't seem to be much, probably, about 10,000 words).
On the surface, I humbly listened to the suggestion, and pretended to be reserved to discuss a few words with him, but in fact I thought: Who are you, who are you, who came to point fingers at me, chirp!
And then I didn't bird him.
Then two days later, the station came short, notified me to sign a contract, and asked me to edit QQ.
I found out ...... OnePlus
Rub, that chirp crooked guy is my editor big......
I mean this to tell you.
They all come from newcomers, so I actually understand the psychology of newcomers when they write books.
I want to expect a pure newcomer to understand the market, understand the industry trends, understand the latest trends, and so on before opening the book......
That's impossible.
Again, that's the same sentence.
What routines, markets, writing, golden chapters, and plot directions......
One word.
Dry!
But the current online text market is no longer the same market when I first started writing books.
The current market has been formed, standardized, and has its own set of rules and operating systems.
If nothing else, how many copies of the network were released in a year ten years ago? How many copies are released in a year now?
At this time, if you are brainless and reckless, you will often hit your head and break the blood flow.
Of course, again, we know that it's hard for newbies to do this research beforehand.
So, after watching yesterday's movie, I had an idea.
In fact, we can do these preparations in advance.
And in fact, we've been doing this for more than a year.
Whether it is the writing dry goods and writing skills published on the official account, or the answering questions and reviewing the beginning of the literary club, we have been doing this work all the time, and we hope to help more authors - not only new authors.
Of course, because of my personal ability problem - after all, I was also a dead soldier before - there is really not much I can help you - especially for the female frequency, the ability is even more limited.
Personally, I am also trying to improve the level of business.
And the main purpose of writing this article today is to determine this direction first.
Then I will send you a table.
This table is based on the statistical content of the "Starting Point Data Network" in 2018 - the category and proportion of the high-quality products of the Starting Point Chinese Network (male frequency).
Since there is no corresponding statistics on the starting point data network and the content of other websites (especially female frequency), similar forms of female frequency cannot be made for the time being, but I am collecting the results of last year's female frequency (mainly Yunqi Academy, starting point female network, and Jinjiang literature network) through other channels.
