The Great Reckless Man of Entertainment from the Beginning

Chapter 60 Weibo Request, Three Thousand Words

In fact, the questions raised by Cang Shanyue are very abrupt in the online literary circle. After all, it is their ability for some authors to pick up outlines, follow suit, and write results.

But if the author really tells irrelevant people about his writing methods and settings, he will undoubtedly be suspected of teaching his disciples to starve the master to death.

[Cang Shanyue:...I am taking the liberty. It’s okay if you don’t want to say it. 】

Seeing that Li Xiang had not answered, Cang Shanyue quickly added.

[Shu Dao: No, no, you misunderstood. I was wondering how to explain it to you. 】

[Shou Dao: I remember, boss, your new book has already been announced, isn’t it? Why do you suddenly want to change it to a new book? 】

[Cang Shanyue: Alas... I'm not like you, who can create a genre with just one book. I have been writing for so many years and have entered a bottleneck period. If I don't get out of my comfort zone, I will have to rest on my laurels. Internet writing is developing so rapidly.

How many years can this old salary last?】

[Cangshan Moon: If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are flexible, you will be long-term!]

[Shudao: I understand, then I will tell you the situation in detail. 】

[The setting of Shoudao: Honghuangliu is not something I created out of thin air. This theme is also based on traditional Chinese culture, but I just refined some elements. 】

[Shu Dao: If you want to understand the concept of prehistoric times, you can read "The Romance of the Gods", "Journey to the West", "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Legend of the White Snake" and "The Legend of Shushan". These books will give you some inspiration. 】

[Shou Dao: In addition, I also have some innovations in the setting, such as integrating the scattered Chinese mythology system and arranging the familiar mythological characters one by one according to their level of strength...]

Li Xiang was not self-conscious at all, describing the major systems and settings of Honghuangliu, ranging from luck to the cultivation system.

From various deeds in the prehistoric times to elucidating the relationship between the two religions and Western religion.

Cang Shanyue stared at the computer so intently that she didn't notice the ash falling on the keyboard.

a long time.

Cang Shanyue looked excited and murmured to herself: "So this is the original way of Buddha?"

[Cangshan Yue: I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! I have completely accepted the advice given today. If you can use me Cangshan Yue in the future, please let me know! 】

[Knife in hand: You’re welcome, it’s nothing, as long as it inspires you. 】

[Cang Shanyue: It’s more than just inspiration, it’s enlightenment! I finally found a way to break through the bottleneck period! Brother, let’s go first. One day I will go to East China University of Communication to thank you in person! 】

[Knife in hand: You’re welcome, go ahead! 】

"Oh~" Li Xiang slumped on the chair and stretched.

He is not afraid of the theme of Cangshan Yuewai. After all, the bigger the market, the easier it is to get involved in the Internet writing industry, right?

If you really have to rely on yourself to improve the overall rating of the online literature industry, what if you get the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse?

I stood up and walked around the dormitory twice. The weather is quite nice today. Why don't you go for a walk?

Just as he was about to go downstairs.

Is there a friend notification coming from the Weibo background?

Li Xiang sat down and took a look, Weibo official?

After passing through friends.

The other party quickly sent a message

[Xigua: Hello, I have a big knife in my hand! 】

[Shudao: Hello, who are you? 】

[Xigua: I am Xigua from the official business development department of Weibo. I am interrupting this time because I want to discuss cooperation with you. I wonder if you are interested? 】

Business development department?

Why are you looking for me all of a sudden?

I guess I don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything!

[Shudao: Let’s talk about it first. 】

[Xigua: That’s right. We on Weibo plan to increase investment in the writing sector in the near future. Not only will there be some support for traffic, but we will even develop a reward function. 】

[Xigua: You also know how big our Weibo is. Once the number of paid readers on Weibo grows, the profits will be huge!]

[Xigua: And your story of Wukong caused quite a stir some time ago, so once we proposed this plan, the first thing that came to our mind was you. I came here this time just to ask you for a manuscript. 】

Paid reading has been a hot topic in recent years. Qihang and some paid reading platforms have made a lot of money. Weibo can’t sit still anymore and plans to get involved.

When a new business opens, it must be lit up with firecrackers to create a sensation.

What to make a blockbuster?

Is there any better candidate than Li Xiang, a living example?

Just because Li Xiang serialized the Legend of Wukong on Weibo, his Weibo followers increased by nearly half a million in just one day.

And as the influence of The Legend of Wukong continues to expand.

Until now.

The total number of fans of Li Xiang's Weibo account has reached 1.5 million.

A novel with less than 140,000 words has gained 1.5 million followers...

Not a king or queen, not a movie king or movie queen, but an ordinary behind-the-scenes practitioner in the entertainment industry, how could the response to the Legend of Wukong be so enthusiastic?

but.

It was precisely because of the popularity of Wukong Legend that Weibo saw business opportunities.

With the number of daily active users on Weibo, once he adds a writing section and finds a powerful master to increase the stickiness of his fans, the revenue this section will bring to Weibo will definitely not be low!

[Shudao: It’s interesting! But let’s forget it. I’ve been quite busy recently, and I’m also serializing The Buddha Is the Way. I don’t have any extra free time, so you’d better find someone else. 】

Xigua was about to be happy when he saw the first half of the sentence, but then rejected him with the knife in his hand in the second half.

[Xigua: No, boss, do you want to hear the conditions we gave first? 】

[Knife in hand: Then tell me. 】

[Xigua: We will offer you a customized novel for $3,000 per thousand words. We have no requirements on subject matter, content, or length. After the book is completed, we will offer another $3,000 to purchase the copyright from you!]

【Watermelon: What do you think?】

What is the concept of the price of three thousand words for one thousand words? According to Li Xiang’s hand speed, he can write ten thousand words per hour, which is equivalent to an hourly salary of thirty thousand!

To put it in a more understandable and intuitive way - if you type a word on the keyboard, that word is worth three yuan!

Earn a bottle of Coke so easily!

It is so profitable!

Li Xiang felt the sincerity of Weibo, and instantly thought of a novel in his mind - the first intimate contact!

The response caused by this novel at that time was by no means lower than that of The Legend of Wukong, and people in later generations even spoke highly of this book——

"First Intimate Contact" is recognized as "the pioneer work of online novels" and the first best-selling novel in the history of the Chinese Internet.

Half a moment.

Seeing that Li Xiang had not replied to the message, Xigua asked cautiously.

[Xigua: Dad, are you still there? Are you not satisfied with the conditions we proposed? 】

[Knife in hand: That’s not the reason. I also happen to have a short story in my hand. The style is too different from the Buddha’s True Way I am writing now, and the length is not suitable for serialization in Qinghang. 】

[Shou Dao: I am quite satisfied with your conditions, but there is only one. If we cannot reach an agreement, then you should ask someone else! 】
