I Just Want to Copy Books in Peace

It was late at night, and there were still people chatting in the group of signing great gods of Genesis Chinese.com.

The building has long been crooked to the point of nowhere, and the people in the water group are still enjoying it.

In the eyes of readers, they may be a great god, standing above the starry sky.

In the kingdom of God above the starry sky, every night, they stretch out countless tentacles, and use their mechanical keyboards, crackling, creating worlds that are both real and illusory, affecting the joys, sorrows and sorrows of thousands of readers.

But in reality, they are just ordinary young people, some are nerdy, some are outgoing; some are lecherous, some are shy; some like to eat tomatoes, some only eat potatoes; some dive as well as squid , Some people almost forgot how to speak all the year round; some drink coffee with sugar, some do not add sugar, and some like to add three spoons.

Maybe the only thing they have in common is being fat and bald.

"By the way, I just saw Hemingway's new book, and his new book is a little bit incomprehensible. Is Haida there? Come out and chat a few words. @Hemingway" is talking about a great god of the city channel, with the pseudonym "Pepper Salt Pipi Shrimp" ", known as "water shrimp".

"Leave him alone, it's useless, he never chats in the group," said another great god "Garlic Toast", "What is the theme of his new book?"

"He himself said it was a novel, and the background was foreign."

"Fantasy? City?"

"I don't know how to classify it. Maybe it should be put on the reality channel. I feel like... Te Wenyi."

"Te Wenyi? What do you mean? His writing has always been good."

A great god named "Saint Tomato" interjected, "Pin Dao also read his new book, it's really not a question of whether he is good at writing or not."

"what is that?"

Tomato fruit: "He is really that kind, the kind that is rare..."

Dashen Shuixi continued: "It's the way of orthodox literature, and the writing is so good beyond your imagination. Just reading the three thousand words, you will feel that he is at the top of the writer's contempt chain. Look, this novella I can't say whether the novel can be sold for money, at least after the novel is written, he will be regarded as his own by those guys in the writers' association."

There was a brief silence in the group.

Online writers are despised by traditional literary writers. This is a long-standing topic that has almost become a tradition in literary circles.

Traditional literature writers: Internet novels are not literature.

Web Writer: Panic.jpg. Nari? When were we expelled from literature! ?

Of course, there are not only online writers who are particularly active in the online novel circle, but also admired by traditional writers, but there are only one or two in the entire online literature circle.

Now, there is likely to be one more.

And a great writer who seldom speaks and spends most of his time diving, "Fireworks Withers" suddenly made a sentence: "If the latter part of his novel can maintain this level, I dare say he has a chance Competing for this year's Topol Literary Prize."

After finishing speaking, he also read several heavyweight gods one by one.

This sentence is like a bomb dropped in the group, and those great gods who are usually not very swarms have come out one after another.

"Really or not? Topol Literature Award?"

"Are you kidding me?

Internet writers and Topol Literature Awards, there is no correlation between them. "

"Poplar Literature Award... the Holy Grail in the minds of all Chinese writers!"

"I'm willing to pay all my writing fees in exchange for a Topol Literature Award!"

"When did you become a literary youth? I remember that you have been taking the funny route."

"You don't understand, in the heart of every Doubi youth, there is a deep dream of Wen Qing. Am I Doubi? In the face of the cruel reality, I have to nod and bow and laugh arrogantly to myself. , until tears come out of laughter."

"I know you're showing off your writing, I want to say, don't show it, it's embarrassing. I just took a look at Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, and I have to say, it's not on the same level as our writing. They're very skilled. ."

There was a lively chat in the group, and there were five great gods who opened a small chat group alone.

Salt and pepper Pipi Shrimp: "Fireworks, it seems that you can't keep the first place on the monthly ticket list this month. Hemingway's upward momentum is too strong."

The fireworks withered sadly: "Actually, I don't care if I am the first or not."

Salt and Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "What did you say? Then I will fight with you?"

The fireworks withered sadly: "If you want to fight, fight, do you still need to say hello, which month did you not fight with me?"

Salt and pepper Pipi Shrimp: "I haven't seriously fought with you before, but this time I saw Hemingway getting up too. It's fun to fight."

The Virgin Fruit: "Hehe, who gave you the courage to contract the monthly ticket list privately?"

Salt \u0026 Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "Could it be that you also want to fight? By the way, your subscriptions seem to have declined recently, so you wrote a big poison."

Sage fruit: "A monk can touch it, but a poor Taoist can't touch it?"

Salt and pepper Pipi Shrimp: "You can fight, it's lively. Why don't we fight together, bread, no sugar, you can also come together?"

Garlic Toast: "I'll go with it."

Coffee without sugar: "Me too."

Salt \u0026 Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "Hehe, I believe in your ghosts, don't open a single chapter to sell bad tickets!"

Garlic Toast: "...a single chapter is still open, out of respect for the reader."

Coffee without sugar: "I don't sell miserably, I'm women's clothing."

Salt and Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "You are cruel."

The fireworks withered sadly: "In short, let's all fight for it. As you all know, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has 180,000 collections on the first day of the book's opening. The title of the originator of the tomb robbery has no time to run away. Anyone with eyes can see that this is the masterpiece. When the book is on the shelves, we will all raise our hands and surrender. Just take advantage of the fact that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is not yet. On the shelves, we can still compete with "Zhu Xian"."

Salt and pepper Pipi Shrimp: "You are too ambitious for others."

Garlic Toast: "It's the truth."

Coffee without sugar: "+1 for the fact."

Holy Nude Fruit: "It's okay to lose to the ghost to blow the lamp. I'm also convinced, but Zhu Xian, huh, the poor way must fight for a fight. If you don't fight for anything else, just fight for one breath."

Pepper and Salt Pipi Shrimp: "Okay, then the Eight Immortals will cross the sea and show their magical powers!"

Cherry Tomato: "Fireworks, everyone used to say that you are the most recognized online writer in the online literature circle, and you are also the first among us to join the National Writers Association. But later, you are the most recognized by traditional writers. The author of the online article, it is estimated that it will be replaced by another person.”

The fireworks withered sadly: "It's better to let a hundred flowers bloom. I really want to make friends with him, but it is said that he is very introverted and doesn't like to talk much."

Salt and Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "You said, is he really Lin Ke?"

Garlic Toast: "I didn't believe it at first. But this time he was targeted like this, I believe it."

Salt \u0026 Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "At the time of his photography event, I was still young and never had the chance to get resources. Do you have any resources? Send me a copy."

Sage fruit: "Pindao is not such a person."

Garlic Toast: "Hehe, I have a girlfriend and never watch that kind of stuff."

Coffee without sugar: "Don't look at me, I can't have it, I'm a pure male college student."

Salt and Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "Made, one by one is pure here."

The fireworks withered sadly: "I have a full set, and I sent you an email."

Sage fruit: "I didn't expect you, the big-eyed person, to betray the revolution! I just want to say three words! I want it too!"

...

Du Caige went to sleep after releasing the first 3,000 words of "The Old Man and the Sea".

He didn't consider how the readers would react, how the industry leaders would react, and whether it was appropriate for a serious literary work like "The Old Man and the Sea" to be published on an online platform.

He just wanted to show his attitude to those people.

Never compromise, never give up.

Then there is no Hemingway without The Old Man and the Sea.

It's that simple.

The next day is April 22.

Du Caige got up normally in the morning, and now his life is more and more regular. This is due to the time when Du Rongqi lived at home, he had to get up on time every day to make breakfast for his sister.

After washing up, Du Caige went to the small room to practice equipment for 40 minutes, watered the flowers and plants, and then had a simple breakfast—toast slices, fried eggs, and milk.

Then I sat down at the table and listened to a few songs to brew my emotions.

While listening, I thought, although Azure Star also has a lot of good music. However, the development of modern music seems to be slightly behind the earth.

I still have to find time to transfer all the hundreds of pure music I love to listen to.

Even if you don’t publish it, when you have the money, you can buy a set of equipment to make the song yourself and play it on your computer in a loop.

After listening to it for a while, Du Caige turned down the volume of the speaker, ready to start carrying "Ghost Blowing Lamp".

The current situation of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is very good. He uploaded more than 20,000 words on the first day, and then uploaded 30,000 words every day in the past few days. So far, there are only more than 40,000 words in total, but he has already collected 450,000 words. This is absolutely There is no record of the ancients in the literary world of the blue star network. As for whether there will be any newcomers in the future?

On Earth, at least, until 2021, no novel has become so hot.

The popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to this extent is the result of a combination of factors.

On the one hand, the "Zhu Xian" he carried is of good enough quality, and it is being serialized to a place where people can't stop, so it naturally attracted many fans of "Zhu Xian"; The publicity is unprecedented. The publicity has been started before it is officially uploaded. After uploading, there is a "big wind" (recommended on the front page cover), and the quality of the book is solid enough, and the word of mouth is very good.

This has led to the emergence of a myth in the online literature world that is difficult to replicate.

After Du Caige's revision, the current version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is a bit more streamlined than the original version, with less worthless dialogue, and fewer words for the description of the environment. It is less but more precise, and the atmosphere can be portrayed in just a few words.

Therefore, these more than 40,000 words, the progress of the plot is very fast, Hu Bayi has left the novice copy, left the army, met Da Jinya, and is about to enter the Kwantung Army underground fortress.

Judging from the comments of readers, this book has always firmly grasped their emotions, making them unable to stop, and also making Du Caige satisfied with his adaptation, without losing the essence of the original "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

After posing, Du Caige was about to turn on the carrying mode when suddenly the phone began to vibrate.

When I saw the caller ID, it was Xiao Jiang.

"What's the matter? Early in the morning!" Du Caige said angrily.

"Brother," Jiang Youxi said pitifully, "the 'first time' will be released soon, I don't know what to do! Can you comfort me?"

Du Caige said lightly: "We have thought about what we should think about. We have done what we can do. I also see your hard work for this song, and I don't think there is anything to regret or regret. .Now, wait quietly for the result."

Jiang Youxi said with a shy face: "Brother, just comfort me! I'm a poor little brother!"

Du Caige pondered for a while and felt that Jiang Youxi was the first friend he had made in this world. Maybe he should have given some preferential treatment, so he said, "I'm not very good at comforting people. Tell me how you want me to comfort you?"

"Just predict the number of downloads in the first week of 'the first'."

Du Caige said without hesitation, "One million."

"!? You haven't woken up yet, brother!" Jiang Youxi blurted out.

"You think I don't understand?" Du Caige asked back.

"No," Jiang Youxi said, "but last year, Sister Xiaochen's new album was released, and the digital version was released simultaneously. The download of the title song in the first week was only 710,000. Brother, she is the queen of songs!"

Du Caige said lightly: "I know. I even know clearly that among the new digital versions of last year's new songs, the most downloaded song in the first week was 770,000 times."

"Then you dare to say 1 million casually!" Jiang Youxi's tone was resentful like a concubine in a cold palace.

Du Caige still looked very bland. "First of all, it's a single-platform debut, and your song is almost a full-platform debut; secondly, people have to pay to download it, the 'first time' is free for the first week for a limited time, you forgot? We don't rely on the 'first time' To make money, the 'first time' is used to manage word of mouth, and the next 'fairy tale' is the time to make money. If the songs I write are limited and free on the whole platform, and the number of downloads in a week does not reach 1 million, then It means that you are too useless, and I will never write songs for you again in the future."

Jiang Youxi cried: "Don't, brother, I'm just kidding! Your song, getting 1 million downloads in a week is not like playing! But, after all, I'm still young, ignorant, and lacking, you can give it to me. I set a goal of 1 million, which is too difficult for me, or 300,000, okay? 300,000."

Du Caige said, "Are you still nervous now?"

"Uh, I'm even more nervous..."

"That's good, continue to be nervous, don't quarrel with me, I'm going to write something." After Du Caige finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Jiang Youxi another chance to gag.

Looking at the computer screen intently, Du Caige has actually lost his mind. Can you get 1 million downloads in the first week? He didn't know what to do.

After all, Huayu doesn't invest much in publicity.

As far as Du Caige learned, activities such as new song auditions were only put on the music columns of several provincial TV entertainment channels, and then they were advertised on several music forums, and they also conducted public relations with several music critics. , and it has also provided benefits to several opinion leaders in the music field.

This has already spent all the 2.7 million publicity budget.

In fact, Huayu has tried his best. After all, Huayu Entertainment is only a small company. It invested 2.7 million in publicity expenses for a new singer's new song. To be honest, it was already on Du Caige's face.

After all, the first week of the "first time" is to be released for free. Even if it is charged, it needs to be purchased 5 million times for 2 yuan once, and the income reaches 10 million yuan. After deducting the share to the platform, the payment After the tax is shared with Xiao Jiang, Du Caige, and the rest of the music producers, Huayu Entertainment can barely recover the cost, and even make a slight profit.

In the current music world, how many songs can reach 5 million purchases during the charging period?

So "the first time" is probably not the opponent of Zongsheng's new song.

After all, Tianyi Entertainment has invested at least 15 million to promote the new songs of Zong Sheng and those little fresh meats. Zong Sheng's handsome face can be seen everywhere in the subway, shopping malls, and advertising spaces in the elevators of various buildings. As well as the title of his new song "The Boy in the Mask".

Du Caige sighed softly and began to concentrate on carrying it.

By the time he stopped and got up to move about, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

If I remember correctly, the "first time" should be on sale on all platforms at 12 o'clock.

So how are the sales so far?

Du Caige turned on his usual "Philharmonic" player.

On the "Philharmonic" music platform, the number of purchases in the first hour of "First Time" is: 792 times.

"Aile" is one of the largest music platforms in Dahuaguo, and the number of purchases and downloads here is very representative.

The number of purchases here is not high, and it will only be less on other platforms.

If a new song is released on a single platform, it can usually talk about a higher sales share and a higher listing price.

However, Jiang Youxi is just a small shrimp in the music world, and others are not interested in him. Huayu Entertainment would rather take the route of small profits but quick turnover, and first make Jiang Youxi's fame, and then choose a single platform to release singles.

Huayu Entertainment originally thought that with the slogan "The Queen of Songs and Queen's Musicians", plus free for a limited time, can attract many passers-by.

As a result, passersby didn't pay at all. Even if it is free, not many people choose to buy the download.

But Du Caige was not surprised.

The reality is that the appeal of musicians is far less than that of popular singers.

If the name "Lin Ke" was used to promote the new song back then, it might still have some appeal.

For example, on Earth, if a singer invites Fang Wenshan and Lin Xi to write songs, it should still attract a wave of attention.

But now, the full-level plus-size "Lin Ke" has been scrapped, and the trumpet "Hemingway" is still in the novice village.

Although it is said that there is overlap between netizens who read online articles and those who like to listen to songs, they are not so targeted after all.

On the other hand, even if Huayu Entertainment had several interactions with the singers such as Su Rui, Peng Sizhang, Duan Xiaochen, etc., the fans of these queens barely knew about a person like "Jiang Youxi", but obviously the fans of others I won't do my best to support Xiao Jiang's new song.
