Rebirth of the Industrial Internet

After lunch, Abo took the lead and occupied the only computer in the dormitory. He clasped his feet and cursed angrily, "Hey, I've only read half of this novel, why can't I find the content at the end? Third Young Master of the Tang family, you actually Dare to stop updating!"

Sun Buqi felt very strange: If the roommate scolded the wandering toad and called him a habitually bad eunuch, the whole thing would not be surprising at all, but if he scolded the third young master, maybe he was really scolding the wrong person, right?

The article about Wandering Toad is a typical crested pig belly toad tail; the beginning amazes the readers, the content in the middle is addictive, and the end... His articles rarely have an ending! Even if there is an ending, it is just something to fool people.

Zhang Wei, the third young master of the Tang family, has always been known for his professionalism and writes non-stop every day. According to later news reports, he updated it continuously for a year, updating at least 8,000 words every day, and the articles he wrote were never unfinished or unfinished.

Sun Buqi defended his idol and asked, "Bo Zai, are you sure you are talking about the third young master of the Tang family, and not the seventh or fifth young master of the Tang family?"

Apo may have wronged someone and scolded the wrong person. Sun Buqi only asked this question.

In 2017, gossip about plagiarism in "Three Lives Three Worlds" was revealed. Readers who were filled with indignation and had a sense of justice went to the Weibo account of the third young master of the Tang family and kept posting "Plagiarists must die!"...

"Three Lives, Three Worlds" actually has nothing to do with the third young master of the Tang family. The onlookers were completely hit by the passenger car by mistake, and the third young master was shot simply while lying down, just because the two authors were both surnamed "Tang".

Apo threw away his lunch box and was so angry that he didn't want to eat. He cursed and said: "It's the author who wrote "Children of Light"! I was reading his other novel "Crazy God" at the starting point, and when I saw the story of the demons , the book is gone...Thanks to me, I gave "Child of Light" to many friends. Now, Third Young Master of the Tang family, you are not honest, don't blame Lord Apo for putting you on the blacklist!"

What he said was serious and well-founded, and he didn't look like he was lying at all.

In order to protect the reputation of his idol, Sun Buqi climbed down from the upper bunk with great effort, went to the computer, moved the big-ass Philips monitor towards him, and carefully searched for what went wrong.

In 2004, the website address of Qidian Chinese website was still “.cmfu.”

Qidian Chinese website was founded in May 2000. It was formerly known as Qidian Original Literature Association (Chinese Magic Fantasy Union). The website address is also the first letter of the English alphabet. Later, the website spent a lot of money to buy back the website address of ".qidian." .

Now Qidian Chinese website has just been acquired by Shanda Network, and all you can see are the advertisements for the "Legend" game, and the online essay solicitation for the "Legend" game. Trouble, the future master of Qidian, started writing the novel "Legend of the Mage" because of this Online essay collection.

Sun Buqi searched the entire Qidian library and checked the chapters updated that day, but could not find any trace of the Tang family's third young master's article.

Seeing that his roommate returned without success, Abo whispered beside him, "I'm not wrong, there is no book, just not! My eyesight is .0, and I can be a pilot. As long as the article of the third young master of the Tang family is updated at the starting point, You can’t escape my fiery eyes!”

When Sun Buqi heard this, he had an idea in his mind. He thought about the legendary starting point, the dispute between the Huanjian, and the two of them might have made a big mistake. He casually entered the URL of Huanjian and found the novel "Crazy God" with ease. 》.

Abo was overjoyed when he saw the novel "Lost and Found". He patted Sun Buqi on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up, "Sandong, you are still awesome! I don't obey anyone now, so I will obey you! Hey, don't go,

Let’s read novels together…”

Two people read novels together on a computer. Some people read slowly and some read quickly. Every time they turn a page, they have to ask their companions if they have finished reading, which seriously affects the enjoyment of reading. If they see shy descriptions, everyone will

Even more embarrassing.

Sun Buqi ignored his roommate's shameless flattery and climbed to the upper bunk to continue taking a nap, hiding his merit and fame! If his roommate hadn't "slandered" his idol, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him!

The development of online novels in 2004 has already passed the bronze and black iron ages, and is about to enter the silver age.

Compared with traditional novels, online novels are only different in medium. The author first published the novel on the Internet, and after accumulating a certain degree of popularity, the novel was favored by traditional publishers and published as a simplified and traditional Chinese book.

The Internet is free, and everyone can be a writer. Writers publish articles on the Internet for free. Only when they are favored by publishers can they get an income. If a popular novel on the Internet suddenly stops updating, it will definitely be

The publisher warned: Stop online serialization, we will sell physical books!

The first Chinese online novel is probably "First Intimate Contact" by Ruffian Tsai. The author is a Taiwanese who majored in science. Most traditional writers are students majoring in literature, history and philosophy. If you study science, it means giving up on becoming a writer.

Dream. The emergence of the Internet has given science students another choice and continued their dream of becoming writers.

On January 5, 1997, a personal homepage created by Chinese-American William Zhu was the prototype of the later "Under the Banyan Tree". The global Chinese original works network under the Banyan Tree was a personal homepage until 1999. August 1999

, SH Rongshuxia Computer Co., Ltd. was established, and the online novel was officially launched.

Anyone can serialize novels on the Banyan Tree Chinese website. As a content producer of online novels, the website cooperates with Longkong and Wanwanxian.com in mainland China, as well as major traditional publishers, to publish simplified and traditional Chinese for online writers.

novel.

This era is the dark iron age of online novels. Authors write entirely based on their interests; websites connect authors and publishers. Only those authors who have obtained publishing rights can earn money. However, most writers bring their own dry food.

, once the writer’s dream is shattered and he is educated by reality, he stays away from online literature.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. After the split of Alcatraz, Yuanyuan Network also broke up, and online literature websites entered the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Various novel websites sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, including Qidian Chinese, Fantasy Sword, Tianying, and Golden Bookstore

They all appear at this time.

In order to attract writers, the website has to build a nest and provide financial subsidies to the writers. Only with more resident writers will there be more serialized novels, readers will flock to the website, and the traffic of the website will soar.

This is the era of network traffic. The size and prosperity of websites may be reversed overnight. Everything depends on traffic. The Internet industry is destined to be a winner-take-all. Only those websites with large traffic have the opportunity to monetize.

In the past, only those authors who sold their copyrights could get financial subsidies from online articles. Now websites provide subsidies on a large scale, and ordinary authors also have income. Although the amount is small, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, so their work is not in vain.

"Yang Bailao" who doesn't get a penny.

Internet literature webmasters have established literary websites because of their interests and hobbies. Now in order to subsidize the authors and provide certain network hardware, they have to think of ways to change and find a way out for online literature.

On October 10, 2000, Qidian Chinese officially launched the first batch of VIP electronic publishing works, and the VIP membership plan was officially launched. The novel "Tianpeng Zongheng" by the writer Wandering Toad became the first paid novel, and later the guy clamored "a

The joke "Canopy Save the Website" was born from this.

Qidian’s old rival Huanjian sneered at the VIP system. They took a different approach and proposed a monthly mobile phone subscription service. Unfortunately, users with monthly mobile phone subscriptions had no way to reimburse their mobile phone fees, which seriously affected sales.

Before website traffic could not be monetized, website operators unanimously chose to "exploit" readers, using the money they received to support the website and feed back the authors.

The VIP system has its pros and cons. Literary websites survive strongly by relying on readers’ subscriptions. However, the readership base is too small and the market has not been fully cultivated. Charging for novels is tantamount to killing the goose that lays eggs, just like fruit farmers letting go of fruit trees that have not entered the fruiting period.

, began to bear fruit in advance, and fully invested in the future of the industry.

In 2004, Chen Tianqiao, who represented the "Legend" game and became the richest man in China, fully acquired the Qidian Chinese website, marking the beginning of a large-scale investment of funds into the online literature industry. Later, many big names entered the blue ocean of online novels.

Sun Buqi is very greedy for Qidian Chinese website. If he has money, he really wants to roll up his sleeves and do it himself.

In 2004, Shanda spent 30 million yuan to acquire Starting Point, but actually paid only 8 million yuan; in 2017, when Yuewen Group was listed in Hong Kong, the company had a market value of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Sun Buqi counted his ten fingers and did not calculate the income in the past thirteen years.

Pro-Yuan Xian fish, as retreat webs.

If you want to make the first pot of gold in the upcoming "World of Warcraft", there are still various obstacles. Sun Buqi doesn't know if he can do it, but no matter how bumpy the road is, he must create something. (To be continued)
