Chapter 122 Could It Be that He Wants to...kill Gods and Prove His Truth?

Chapter 122 Could it be that he wants to...kill gods and prove his faith?

October 3, Monday, the weather turned sunny from cloudy.

It is advisable to repeat the reading, and avoid flags.

It is time to pay for the manuscript again.

Pu Jie wants to read but dares not, it is too difficult!

Last month was too difficult!

There are so many readers that he can't delete all the good comments.

This is the atmosphere of Qidian, everyone likes to communicate very much.

Book reviews, chapter reviews, paragraph reviews.

Chatting happily.

Many readers said that the comment area is more interesting than the book.

Pu Jie chose the most scathing disciplinary assistant from among the many black fans, and shouted "Back off—I'm going to start spraying!", hoping that he could help him and delete the good comments.

In the end, I don't know what Zhao Xin said to this idiot, and the next day he changed his name to "Pu Dingle's believer".

He directly rewarded 200 yuan!

Private message: "Conscientious author, support dreams, start with me!"

Pu Jie was numb.

I dare not promote anyone casually anymore, these people are all traitors pretending to be loyal ministers! At the critical moment, he showed his true colors, took out a knife, and stabbed himself in the back.

"Alas, only a 24K pure black like Shadow Night Cat can help me save something, but unfortunately, I haven't seen him recently."

Regret.

There is no one available in the court.

It's 10 o'clock.

Pu Jie took a deep breath and forced himself to open the manuscript fee data.

[Total manuscript fee in September: 1,335,837 yuan (1,108,744 yuan after tax)]

["Urban Son-in-law Dragon King"]

[Qidian main site: 55,787 yuan. New media channels: 9,835 yuan. Group channels: 37,541. ]

[Expected manuscript fee for new media channels next month: 10,000 yuan. ]

["Rural Rogue Divine Doctor"]

[Qidian main site: 186,551 yuan. New media channels: 153,670 yuan. Group channels: 785,519 yuan. ]

[Expected new media channel royalties next month: 50,000 yuan. ]

["Legend of the Stars"]

[Qidian main site: 105,622 yuan (including 1,500 yuan for full attendance). New media channels: 899 yuan. Group channels: 413 yuan. ]

[Expected new media channel royalties next month: 3,000 yuan. ]

Pu Jie received 1% of the after-tax royalties for the first two books.

Deposit + 10,199 yuan.

It is rare that he can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month despite the system's anti-addiction regulations.

"Huh~ Not bad."

Pu Jie can barely accept this result.

Although it is a bit bad, it is acceptable.

First is "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King". Although it is the main book to attract traffic, because this book has few words and newcomers have 7 days of free reading, those who make the least money are all free. After a small number of old readers see the advertisement, they are actually not very interested in this style of writing.

Only pure newbies can read this kind of article.

New media channels are basically out of money, and this book has been gradually forgotten. Readers have all gone to read new articles about the King of Soldiers, God of War, and Dragon Son-in-law.

However, last month, Xiaoxing took his book to the WeChat reading channel, where there are many newbies, and it has regained its second spring, and the royalties have increased a lot.

Pu Jie is still very satisfied.

"The dog editor Xiaoxing finally did something, and I will give you a discount, which will be offset by the recommendation of this month's 'Best Seller Selection'."

Not to mention "The Countryside Rogue Divine Doctor", the biggest winner of the huge increase in traffic last month, with a pure subscription royalty of 180,000, comparable to a serialized work with an average subscription of 20,000. Although it cannot compare with the first-line masters, it is second only to those popular books.

The average subscription increased by 5,000 per month! It is really terrifying.

At present, the average subscription has exceeded 8,000, and it is still rising, which can basically lock in a work with 10,000 subscriptions.

Not many old readers of the Qidian main site read it, and it is all supported by new users.

But the bulk of the revenue still comes from new media and group channels, which together contribute nearly 1 million yuan in royalties, making them Pu Jie's biggest cash cow.

However, the new library of WeChat Reading has been brought up recently.

A bunch of copycat books, such as "Little Divine Doctor in Taoyuan", "Rural Immortal Doctor", "Peerless Medical God", and "God-like Village Doctor", have flooded in and have already seized the market, so the royalties this month should drop sharply.

The most annoying thing is that the copycats are better than Pu Jie!

There is no way to beat them.

The channels will naturally promote more profitable ones.

The royalties of more than 700,000 yuan should be the last time, and they will be cut in half again.

Channels do not recognize people or books, but only sales.

Finally, "Legend of the Stars" also increased by 5,000 average subscriptions last month, reaching 7,000 average subscriptions, but because the word count is only 850,000, the royalties are 80,000 less than "Rural Rogue Divine Doctor".

What makes Pu Jie happy the most is that the channels for this book are completely rotten!

The kind that no one reads at all.

"Ah, this familiar three-digit royalty from the channel has helped me find myself~"

"So, this is the feeling of failure. I haven't felt it for a long time."

"I miss our youth~~"

Pu Jie glanced at the system interface. The new book has earned 130,000 yuan so far.

There is still a long way to go before the 1.8 million subsidy.

"Last month was too hard, but this book should be able to reach the peak royalty. For the next 1.15 million words, as long as I keep writing, I can finish it in 3 months, and then get more than one million in subsidies, and then unlock my 7.8 million savings, oh no! Including this month's, it's already 8.9 million, and it will be just right to make it a whole number!"

"0.1 small goal!"

After taking a look at the composition of the manuscript fee, he felt a little sad again.

"So many great writers have worked hard to write good stories. But I can't earn as much as a rural local article. Alas, the customer base is too important."

"Ping An Shen still knows the secret of failure. I don't know how badly he has failed now. How about giving him a reward as the leader?"

"Forget it, I'll thank you after this challenge is settled."

Pu Jie felt that he had experienced the storms in September, and nothing could defeat him anymore.

"In another 4 or 5 days, the last batch of new readers of Qidian will have to pay. Once this wave of traffic from them is over, I will be completely finished."

"I don't believe that without Qidian's advertising traffic, the royalties can exceed the remaining subsidy of 1.67 million in the next 3 months, relying solely on Qidian's main site subscriptions?"

"It's impossible. Just think about it with a normal person's brain and you will know it's impossible."

"I'm really flying dragon riding on my face this time. I can't lose!"

"Fuck!"

"Why are there so many new users in the past few days!"

"It's still rising!"

On October 3, early in the morning, the people in Qidian's operations department began to shout.

Three days ago, their advertising came to an end. All major short video platforms have removed ads. The traffic that had been skyrocketing was suddenly pinched, and Qidian's new users immediately dropped to the previous level.

However, the effect of later ads has become worse and worse. Basically, everyone who can see the ads has already seen them, and they have seen them many times.

Those who should download Qidian have already downloaded it. Those who don't download it will find it difficult to download it even if they invest 100 times.

So it’s not that Qidian has no money to invest in advertising, but the effect has reached the bottom, and investing again will be very cost-effective.

At least, I won’t invest again before I have new ideas.

Let the users of the short video platform accumulate for a while, and when they are about to forget about it after a while, change the method and book and invest again.

This is called tidal delivery.

It is more efficient.

And the traffic has stopped, and the number of new users has also decreased. Everyone just needs to manage the new users who have downloaded and registered.

The operation department can also relax a little.

So, two days before the National Day, except for the programmers who maintained the bugs who worked overtime for two days, everyone in the operation department was on holiday.

However, when the person on duty on the 3rd came to work.

It was found that the traffic that had been cut off suddenly increased again!

It was like a broken pendant reborn!

On the night of the 1st, Qidian received a large wave of traffic!

It was comparable to the effect of advertising on the first day!

It was incredible!

Today is still the National Day holiday, and there are only a few people working in the operation department.

One deputy manager and two on duty.

Deputy Manager Luo Ti, who has 10 years of experience in the industry, is very generous and naturally will not be shocked by small data.

He walked over calmly.

"What are you doing? An old operator is calm when facing a disaster. What does it mean to shout? I guess it's the residual heat of our previous advertisement. Some new users come in through various traces. It's normal. Let me see how many new users have been added."

Then he looked at the big screen showing the data.

"Fuck! So many?"

"Where did so many users come from!"

"It's still rising!"

The two grassroots employees curled their lips.

"The essence of human beings is?"

"Repeater."

The three of them looked at the data carefully again and found that.

After entering Qidian, this batch of traffic received a free book subsidy for new users and went straight to "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King"!

"This book again?"

Fortunately, Deputy Manager Luo Ti is an old operator. He took a look at the news on the evening of the 1st and thought about it. He basically sorted out the source of new users.

The TV series "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" is popular and has been trending!

The audience has come to read the original novel!

He has experienced this kind of thing. After the works of some best-selling authors are adapted into TV series and released, if the TV series is very popular, his old book, which has been completed, will rise to the top of the best-selling list again.

This phenomenon will continue until the popularity of the TV series fades.

Therefore, every time Qidian successfully adapts a big IP, it will attract a group of new readers to join Qidian Reading.

But they are all popular IPs, and the original works are already popular on the Internet.

It is incredible that such a small copyright sold for 300,000 can achieve such an effect!

It can only show that not only the advertisement is well done, but also the quality of the TV series is very high.

"This is too strong! The author Pu Ding can actually drive wave after wave of traffic continuously. After we put the Qidian advertisement, the traffic and topics on the social platforms of Weibo and Douban immediately connected. If it is a coincidence, I don't believe it."

Two younger brothers: "Eh!"

"It's a pity that we didn't know how strong this operation was in advance. Maybe he knew how strong it was because he wrote the TV series himself. With this wave of traffic, his book can maintain the rising period for another month, and we can also add some new users."

Two younger brothers: "Eh!"

"There are strong traces of Pu Ding's operation, and the grass snakes and gray lines are hidden for thousands of miles. I have roughly heard some rumors about him. He is an extremely confident and even arrogant person. He is well-dressed in a suit, acts quickly, and has an absolutely confident smile of a professional manager on his face."

Two younger brothers: "Wow~"

"If I'm not mistaken, the most important purpose of all his operations is to compete for the rankings! Throughout October, his old books have been gaining traffic, and his new books will naturally benefit from it. The traffic from last month is still being digested. With these two waves of new users, his new book is going to take off!"

"When his "Star Legend" is on the bestseller list with the highest gold content, it will attract more of our old readers from Qidian to watch it. After a few waves of bonuses, the results can be improved to a terrifying level. Could it be that he wants to kill gods and prove his truth!?"

The two younger brothers said in unison: "Hiss——"
