Reborn As a Pirate

A word to point the question.

It will be launched on June 19 (Friday), and I hope to get everyone's subscription support.

First of all, let me briefly report the status of "Pirate". As of last Sunday, 8,000 received, 13,000 recommended, and the daily push is about 300-400, because this week is a streaking relationship, basically the difference from the published data will not be too big .

In other words, if the pirate's subscription data is normal, it will be between 300+ and 400.

Then there is the update plan.

The first day on the shelves, June 19 (Friday), five shifts.

Excluding the update in the morning, the remaining four updates will start from the opening of the VIP. The time is about 12:30 noon, with updates every 15 minutes to prevent chaos.

The update on the second day of the shelf depends on the average order status on the first day.

Below 500, three shifts of salted fish; above 500, five shifts of excitement; if everyone is so strong that I can rush to the top, ten shifts, and stay overnight on Friday night, I should barely be able to drive out with quality and quantity.

No more promises, it's a lie to others.

Then no matter how many updates, Saturday’s update will start at 9:00 am, every 30 minutes, mainly to prevent chaos, and has absolutely nothing to do with delaying tactics or anything (serious face).

On the third day after being put on the shelves, that is, Sunday, the normal situation is sluggish at the third watch, and the abnormal situation above the threshold will return to the fifth watch.

Update time, 9:00, 12:00, 17:00, (20:00), (22:00).

On the fourth day, the normal update will resume. From 9 to 5, there is no force majeure to ensure that the update will not be interrupted. If there is a plan to reduce or increase the update, it will be explained to everyone in advance. Anyway, these two situations are not too common.

This is the case for the update on the shelves. Friends who are interested in subscribing or not interested in subscribing and preparing to watch it, remember to adjust the reading time.

Last but not least, shed some light.

Writing is not easy, I hope everyone can support genuine reading (strike out), I hope everyone can support genuine reading of the starting point port.

...The text is over, and the following is the meaningless Easter egg link...

Unknowingly, this is the third time I have written a testimonial on the shelves.

2018 is "Super Amateur Feng Shui Quest", with 600,000 normal copies, and the average order is about 30, emmmmm, I don't really want to recall.

2019 is "The Great Qin Juzi", which is tens of thousands of words away from 2 million. Although the average order is only about 200, it is really fun to write, and what I want to express is fully expressed.

For an ancient vernacular style, which focuses on the socialist industrial revolution and the cultural conflicts of various schools of thought, the official history of the Qin Dynasty, to be honest, I have not expected her achievements too much since the day the book was opened. .

How about it, after reading my miserable past, are you suddenly full of confidence in me finishing the book normally?

In 2020, it will be "Being a Pirate on a New Birthday". The title of the book was chosen for me by the editor, and it comes with popular searches. As for the others...don't worry so much.

In retrospect, Pirates was a book with a rough fate.

I remember that this idea was first conceived half a year before the book was opened, and Juzi was still in the climax stage, and it was far from seeing where the ending would be.

One night, I had a strange dream about the difference engine, so I got up in the middle of the night to look through the settings of steampunk, and saw flying sailboats on the Internet...

Sailing is a manga that is higher than steam engines. Since then, I have wanted to write a novel about the age of sailing.

I vaguely remember that when the project was first established, I excitedly raised this idea with the bastards in the author group. Some people told me that if I really dare to write this book, foreign history, niche, maritime history, niche, doomed childhood sweetheart, subscription indefinitely.

But I still uncontrollably started working on the outline of "Pirates".

The first is the era,

From the initial great geographical discovery to the Anglo-Dutch struggle for hegemony to the end of the sailing period that everyone sees now, three major adjustments have been made, and a lot of strange information has been checked.

Then there is the story. I worked on it piecemeal for about a month and a half. When it was about to end, I suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

That’s right, like most people, my understanding of sailing ships is limited to [this ship is very handsome, and it’s super handsome when it’s sailing]. This is an adventure novel set on the ocean.

At that time, I was really discouraged, and I made an outline of 60,000 to 70,000 words and threw it directly into the waste manuscript. After all, some details of history and customs may be filled in through novelist words. The core cannot be completely divorced from reality.

If I really want to break away from that point, I might as well write a book called Stars and Seas. Although the subject matter is outdated, the audience is at least wider than Fengfan...

After that, there were a lot of ideas scattered here and there, not that I didn't like it, but the pirates were lying there, coquettish, and crazy to prevent me from empathizing, asking me to do anything.

It wasn't until a month or two later that I came into contact with a post bar called [Sail Warship] by chance, which opened the door to a new world.

Therefore, the first person to thank today is not the editor, but those lovely technical nerds.

It is their tireless porting and translation that gave "Pirate" enough technical support, and made me, an empty bucket, dare to muster up the courage to write a niche novel about maritime history that almost no one has ever written.

The second thing I want to thank is the book friends who have supported me since the book was opened.

Thanks to you, the data of "Pirate" was very good at one time. Although at the end of the new book issue, it failed to reach Sanjiang, and even failed to make it to the homepage, but at least I once thought about it. Such a high subscription ratio.

Your support is the source of my delusions.

Third, I would like to thank my family for their support and editorial support.

Due to job transfer, Huya, the original editor of "Pirate", was transferred to Metro Channel halfway through. The new editor, Shan Yueda, has just joined the job. He is very kind and has given me a lot of help, thank you.

In the end, let’s get down to business and not forget the original intention. The testimonials on the shelves are used to sell miserably and ask for subscriptions...

What is the starting point?

Before 5.15, this place became a god in public opinion. After 5.15, it suddenly became a Victorian London factory. We writers seem to have become child laborers in the factory. Oliver Twist is written for us.

However, what did Lu Xun say have anything to do with me, Zhou Shuren?

Maybe it's because I'm older and have been beaten by the society for a longer time. In my eyes, the starting point has always been a place similar to Liyuan.

The boss of the starting point set up a stage in this empty space, we beginner actors took turns to take the stage, and you fanciers who love drama but are too lazy to sing are sitting in the audience.

If some people like to listen, I will become an opera singer; if more people follow, I may become an actor; if many people follow, I will naturally become a master, for example, Master Mei Lanfang.

The cultural industry has been commercial in nature since its inception, and the only criterion for judging its success is the recognition and breadth of the audience. In Liyuan, the criterion is whether or not tickets can be sold.

Didn’t you see that when Vincent van Gogh was alive, even if he exchanged his own painting for a piece of bread, he would have to be grateful and bring a favor?

So I sincerely hope that friends who are willing to subscribe can read "Pirate" at the starting point as much as possible.

Maybe its APP is a bit anti-human, maybe compared with a certain three-word named pavilion, its UI designer should be nailed to the pillar of shame and wait for seven days to be resurrected, but only here, "Pirate" has a judge The value standard of whether she is qualified or not.

Just from the perspective of genuine reading, going to QQ to read books from Qidian is like listening to us sing in a restaurant next to the Liyuan. I can see you, and the restaurant owner will give us some rewards, but it doesn't count as our seats anyway.

Going to Tencent’s other reading platforms to read Qidian’s books is like buying a record recorded by the owner of Liyuan in an audio-visual store. The sound is still the same, but we must not hear the sound from the audience.

This is the current environment of online literature, no different from the Liyuan before the founding of New China, and no different from the capital three thousand years ago or three thousand years later.

But I still like to write at the starting point.

Because the starting point has the most tolerant and most receptive reader group on the entire network, only here, a writer like me who thinks about love for power generation and is obsessed with minority culture has a little possibility of being recognized and appreciated. It cannot be done anywhere else.

You are my food and clothing parents, a song "Da Shi" is dedicated to you by Guo Degang.

That's all, I'm going to go to my boutique dream (funny life-saving), and I look forward to seeing you in the VIP chapter.

Picking up waste in the dark, in the middle of the night on June 16.
