Start earning money as the girl next door

Even in the era of mobile games, after more than ten years of making money in the era of PC online games, "Zhu Xian" can be changed to a mobile game again and continue to make money.

The copyright of "Zhu Xian" was sold to Perfect World Company for a fixed price of only 100 million.

When I sold it, I smiled and felt that the wealthy people paid a sky-high price.However, many years later, I probably regretted it to death.

The reason is...the copyrights of Cats and Dogs have been sold for millions or even tens of millions!In the early days, Jiangjiang.com, a female channel, sold a bunch of copyrights for tens of thousands or even 10,000+.

Later, I felt that I was losing money, so I directly raised the minimum price of the copyright to 100 million. If I didn't have 100 million, I wouldn't sell it if it was rotten in my hand.

To put it simply, the novels that were later sold for 100 million yuan were the minimum threshold for major websites and were not very popular novels.If some film and television organizations feel that they want to pick up the slack and adapt a book that is not popular into a popular work, they will have to buy the copyright for millions.

For normal copyright transactions, most ranges are several million.

The amount of more than ten million is actually not based on how well the novel itself is written.It’s about the popularity of the author’s novels, or even how the IP-adapted products performed in the market after the previous author’s copyright was adapted.

But, in general…

The earlier the novel is copyrighted, the easier it is for the adaptation to become a hit.The main thing is that after the copyright was adapted, I became tired of aesthetics!

For example, "Zhu Xian" is the first Xianxia online game to successfully change, so it has the biggest piece of cake.

Later, a bunch of Xianxia novels were adapted into games. This does not mean that the novel itself is not as good as "Zhu Xian".Rather, after the late adaptation, there will be no bigger cake sooner or later.

For example, players who entered "Zhu Xian" because of the Xianxia IP have already invested a lot of game time and energy, and even developed a lot of game bonds in it.

It is very difficult for other similar works adapted from Xianxia games to easily shake the status of "Zhu Xian".

After communicating with the wandering Jiraiya, one of the founders of the website, Mr. Pastry, also suddenly applied to add Zhao Han as a friend on QQ.

After Zhao Han passed.

Pastry King said: "Our pastry Chinese website was acquired by Shanda last month and became a subsidiary of Shanda Group. Boss Chen Tianqiao, the purpose of acquiring our website is to make online Disney. Among them, the game adapted from the novel is also his Part of the plan. Now Shanda intends to adapt some popular novels and make them into online games. How much do you think "Dragon of the Ancients" will cost, so that the game copyright can be sold to Shanda?"

"For the time being, I don't want to sell the adaptation rights." Zhao Han said.

"What about 300 million?" asked the pastry man, "If you want to sell it, Shanda is willing to pay such a record-breaking price!"

"I still don't want to sell. I have a friend who is engaged in development at a Beijing game company. It seems that he resigned. I intend to start a company with my friend to develop the game "Dragon of the Wild". I will invest in the copyright and he will be responsible for the technology and capital. So Tell me, it won’t be a problem for my friend to invest [-] million yuan.” Zhao Han fabricated a friend out of thin air.

"Okay! I just want to ask your opinion. In fact, Boss Chen has not confirmed the adaptation. Generally, if a work is recommended to him, it is estimated to sell for hundreds of thousands. We are sure to sell your copyright for 300 million. Since you don't want to sell it , forget it." The pastry man said regretfully.

"Well, if the game is developed in the future, we may not be able to operate it exclusively ourselves. Maybe we will cooperate with Shanda when the time comes." Zhao Han said deliberately vaguely.

Chapter 300 Jingjing Reading website officially announces that Liu Mengcheng earns one million per month!

Zhao Han felt a little funny after rejecting the pastry gentleman's suggestion.

Perhaps, in the eyes of current pastry fans, Shanda is very sincere in offering 300 million to buy the copyright of the game "Dragon of the Wild". This is the highest copyright price in the history of online literature.

If you make a lot of cakes, you can also earn some copyright agency fees.

But unfortunately, Zhao Han knew the value of top IP later.Some of the top copyrights were directly sold for tens of millions of dollars.

Some of the more top writers felt that it was not cost-effective to sell copyrights, so they directly became capitalists themselves, adapting online dramas, short animations and games, and becoming a big boss.

Many buyers of top IPs sold at low prices in the early years made a fortune.For example, IPs such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Zhu Xian" seemed to be sky-high in the early years, but looking at them afterwards is really too short-sighted.

Also, in the early years of Jiangjiang.com, the copyrights for female videos were sold in batches for thousands or tens of thousands.Many copyrights bought at low prices were later adapted into huge hits, and both Jiangjiang.com and the authors lost their legs. The reason was that they were sold too cheaply in the early years.

Then, I began to consciously control the number of copyrights sold. After many years, the low-price copyrights sold in the early years were almost consumed.

After that, thresholds were set for the copyrights of cakes and Jiangjiang.There are very few transactions below one million.

The lowest price was 100 million, which later became the lowest threshold price for leading websites to authorize games and film and television IP.

Naturally, Zhao Han would not be willing to sell "Dragon of the Ancients" for 300 million.

Of course, if the offer was 3000 million now, Zhao Han would probably sell the copyright without hesitation.

The main thing is that if Zhao Han invests 3000 million yuan, he will have more opportunities.

If it's 300 million, based on Zhao Han's current royalties, he should be able to earn it in about eight months.

Therefore, this price is not attractive to him.

……

2004 11 Month 16 Day.

Quiet Reading Network.

The news column on the homepage also released breaking news:

"Warmly congratulate Liu Mengcheng, the exclusive signed author of this website, for the simplified Chinese version of "Swordsmanship in the Snow" has become a huge seller and has become the first top-selling book in the history of online literature to reach one million per month.

Liu Mengcheng is from Jiangcheng County.

He has been extremely talented since he was a child, and he prides himself on being born at the wrong time. If he were of the same age as Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng, he would definitely communicate with his friends through pens and decide the winner.

When I was in junior high school, I wrote one or two articles a week and submitted them to newspapers.

Over the years, I have submitted thousands of articles, but only a few have been accepted, with a calm attitude. However, I have sharpened my edge more and more.

I studied at An Normal University in college. After graduation, I was still obsessed with literature and had no intention of finding a job.

The road to submission is bumpy. I submit ten articles a month, but often less than one is accepted. Occasionally, one is accepted. I earn more than [-] yuan, and my annual income is less than [-] yuan. I boast that I am as poor as Cao Xueqin.

I came into contact with online literature last year, and then I realized that writing serialized novels is a unique experience.

Then he collaborated with others to write articles, earning tens of thousands a month, and topped the list of paid online article subscriptions.

Later, due to different ideas, he decided to write independently and became the first signed author of this website.

The writing style of "Swordsmanship in the Snow" is amazing, and the plot also created a new style of martial arts.

Since "In the Snow" was serialized on this site on May 5, it has continued to receive positive reviews online.

It has even become a breakthrough and phenomenon-level hotly discussed work on the Internet.This attracted Anhui Literature and Art Publishing House and traditional Chinese bookseller Xianxian Culture to negotiate for simplified and traditional Chinese publishing.

In August, "Swordsmanship in the Snow" was published in simplified and traditional Chinese respectively.All three places across the Taiwan Strait have achieved impressive results.

Published in Simplified Chinese, the first episode was published in August, with an initial printing of 8 copies. With the huge sales in the market, it has been printed again and again, and has now sold a total of 1 copies, and is expected to exceed 38.

In October, the second simplified Chinese volume of "In the Snow" was published, with an initial printing of 10 copies, and more copies were printed a week later.

In terms of traditional Chinese publishing results, each episode of "In the Snow" has sold more than 6000 copies. It has now published its third episode, with cumulative sales in traditional Chinese exceeding 2 copies.

It can be called a rare best-selling masterpiece in the traditional Chinese market after the decline of martial arts.

The website’s electronic share of “In the Snow” has repeatedly broken subscription records since it was released in July.

From an average order of 3000, gradually to an average order of 4000, and an average order of 5000.

As of November 11th, the collection data of "In the Snow" on this website has exceeded 15, and all orders have exceeded 7!

Electronic subscription results have also reached the level of top online writers...

Congratulations to Liu Da, who has accumulated a lot of hard work and achieved a good result of earning one million per month.

In addition, I wish Liu Da that his thoughts will flow and he will reach a higher level.

——Quietly Reading Editorial Department”

Soon after this news was released...

Suppressing yesterday's news, Zhao Han's "Dragon of the Wild" earns 40 yuan a month, becoming a millionaire a year.

"Really or not, has "In the Snow" become so popular?"

""Piaomiao Journey" is a game with a monthly income of more than [-].

This generation of authors is a bit fierce. Zhao Han himself, "Dragon of the Ancients", has become an author with an annual income of one million. The news has not been long ago, and Liu Mengcheng has already appeared, making one million a month! "

“It feels a bit fake!”

"It should be true! I have read the news about the huge sales of the simplified version of "Swordsman in the Snow" many times in traditional paper media. Last month, I saw that the cumulative sales exceeded 40 and 50, with the cumulative sales reaching 60. Thousands of pieces of news have been exposed continuously, and within just a few days, the record has been set, and sales have increased by another hundred thousand copies!"

"Looking at the sales charts of some traditional Chinese sales channels, "Snow" in traditional Chinese is indeed a big seller!

In the single-episode sales list, the three books of "In the Snow" have all entered the top dozen.And there are more than ten books in the top thirty list that are "Journey to Piaomiao"! "

"Damn it, Zhao Han and Liu Mengcheng, these two are so powerful! I feel like one can dominate the whole pastry website, and the other can suppress and read quietly! If these two great masters get one, the website will become the foundation of hegemony. If they get two, wouldn't it? Want to dominate the online literature industry?!"

"Xiao Pujie is confused. Yesterday I wrote a chapter of Honghuang Liu, and I am preparing to submit it to the pastry. Today I saw the sales data of "Snow in the Snow", and I shamefully want to follow the trend of "Snow in the Snow" and write about the martial arts in Snow!"

"I'm not trying to knock you upstairs, "Dragon of the Ancient World" can still imitate the trend by summarizing the world view and settings of the Ancient World.

How to imitate "Swordsmanship in the Snow"?

Even if I give you the same outline, what you write will definitely hit the street!Can Goddess Liu's writing style be compared to that of other authors? "

"In terms of creativity, I would like to say that Zhao Hanju is invincible in the world. In terms of writing style, I would like to say that Sister Liu is the best in online writing!"

"Let's talk about things, in terms of writing, Sister Liu is much better than those young writers trained by New Concept Composition and "Sprouting" magazine.

Han Moumou pretends to be profound, but in fact, he neither understands politics, nor economics, nor education. He is also illiterate in science and technology. He points all day long, thinking that it is great to be independent, and he has nothing to do with talking to other scholars. It was a young illiterate engaging in a pen battle with a group of old illiterate people.

Guo Moumou, apart from copying, he can do nothing else.The writing style is not good either. Really, Sister Liu’s writing style is even higher than that of Guo Mou and Han Mou. "

"I noticed that Sister Liu graduated from An Normal University.

There are a lot of college students, people like Guo and Han, and even many traditional writers with middle school or even primary school diplomas!

It proves that reading is still useful! "

"Indeed, Guo and Han have low education and are best-selling authors, setting a bad example for others. It seems that the traditional media wants to set a young example that does not read, is either stupid or bad!

It is always good to read more. If you don’t read, your writing skills are good. Being a writer is another matter. But most of them are useless and bullshit. If they are deceived and don’t even have a diploma, then it will be embarrassing. "

3 Yu Weiwei’s whimsical thoughts

Jingjing Reading Network suddenly announced Liu Mengcheng's royalties. In essence, it was an opportunity to hype and attract a wave of authors to submit articles.

The competition in the online writing industry is nothing more than works and traffic.

That is, the author or the reader, which element of the two is the most critical, and there was endless debate later.

But... if you simply build a traffic platform without establishing a group of authors who sign contracts independently, that kind of platform will be very fragile later on and will collapse at any time.

On the contrary, some platforms with authors and works as the core, even after the industry reshuffle, the market structure has changed, and after falling behind for a while, they can break their own traffic limit again and continue to grow.

Therefore, Jingjing Reading Network is roughly based on the number of authors and the number of book libraries, and secondly, readers and the market are auxiliary.After all, without the support of readers and the market, it is impossible to have a prosperous creative ecology.

In November 2004, cakes ranked first among domestic novel website traffic rankings, with approximately 11 IP visits per day and 60 million PV views.Pastry Chinese website has ranked 4500th in the domestic Internet rankings.Ranked 37th in the world in terms of traffic.

Ranked second is already Jingjing Reading Network.The number of IP visits every day has reached 40, and the daily PV views are 2800 million.On the world traffic ranking list, it is about 200th, and the Chinese Internet ranking is 73rd.

Jianjian only has more than 20 IP visits and more than 1000 million PV views every day.The daily IP visits of Yingying dropped to more than 10, and the number of PV views was only 700 million.

There are no remaining novel websites with more than 10 IP visits.

Female channel Jiang Jiang is still a little transparent at present, with a library of only a few hundred novels and no more than 5 IP visits per day. It mainly relies on an agency publishing model.

Women's novels that cannot be published cannot receive any royalties. Under such circumstances, Jiang Jiang's industry status has not yet truly developed.

The commercialization of female channel novels was still relatively slow. It was not until 2008 that female channel novels began to be further commercialized and developed rapidly through the VIP subscription market.

In other words, in the current landscape of online literature, cakes are already No. [-], but Jingjing Reading Network is No. [-].

I can’t hide it anymore. I am second in the industry. Instead of being low-key, I might as well be high-profile and compete with pastries.

"The growth rate of new books entering the library in the past few days this month is gratifying. On the 16th, 100 books! On the 17th, 150 books. Now, it is almost 200 books a day!" Yu Weiwei quickly reported the good news to Chen Wenwen.

"Yeah, I got it! Is there anything else?" Chen Wenwen is now responsible for comparison. In addition to the business of making money, he is also responsible for giving money.

I don’t pay too much attention to novel websites.

Basically, let Yu Weiwei do it. Anyway, the novel website is making money now, and there is no need to apply for financial support from the parent company.

It’s not about money, everything is easy to negotiate!

After all, the company's expenses are not small, and Wenjing Computer City's investment is still gradually recovering.

The Quiet Input Method requires continuous preparation of funds to be ready to provide ammunition to support its development at any time.

Chen Wenwen didn't know much about the Internet, but he also knew that the Jingjing Pinyin Input Method was about to become a mini-Tencent, and it was a project that needed the company's concentrated funds and resources to support.

In addition, Wenwen Service Network, now named after Wenwen, is about to open.

Opening a new website probably requires continued investment!

Wenwen Service Network provides O2O services. It is just a Jiangcheng County, so it is estimated that it will have to invest a lot of money to cultivate the market in Jiangcheng County.

If we expand across the country to more than 3000 counties and cities, how much capital will be invested?Just imagine, Chen Wenwen has a big head!
