Chapter 18 How Stupid Does One Have to Be to Want to Buy This?

January 6, Thursday.

Avoid planting flags, but eat for free.

Today is the day when Qidian pays out manuscript fees.

Originally, the manuscript fees were paid on the 3rd of each month, but due to the three-day New Year's Day holiday, it was postponed to today.

As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, Pu Jie touched his mobile phone and habitually took a look at yesterday's data.

[Collections: -1]

[Comments: 0]

[Rewards: 0]

[Recommended articles: 3]

[Monthly tickets: 0]

[New subscriptions: 74]

"Beautiful!"

This damn data appeared in a 750,000-word novel daily. Any normal author would explode immediately!

Fortunately, Pu Jie has a system.

He took another look at the manuscript fees of last month.

It has not been refreshed yet.

The manuscript fees of the previous month were 105 yuan in total, which was not enough to withdraw.

This money was rewarded by several roommates who pitied him,

otherwise Pu Jie would not get a penny.

He was only listed in December, and he can get 1,500 for full attendance this month.

"At most, I can get two months of full attendance, plus the subscription fee, and the total manuscript fee before the book is completed will not exceed 4,000! Once the system settles, the subsidy will be 96,000!"

"Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" has written 750,000 words.

Pu Jie is very hardworking. Since crossing into this world, he has maintained an update of more than 10,000 words every day, without interruption.

It's been a little more than 2 months, and he has updated so many words.

He is really a model worker of Qidian!

"There will always be rewards for hard work, and the bitterness will soon be over! I'm tired of these days of free meals!"

"Bang!"

The door was knocked open,

Dachun came in with breakfast,

"Who wants to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks?"

Pu Jie silently began to put on his clothes

"Baji Baji."

Pu Jie ate while browsing his phone.

Qidian Writer Assistant app pushed a news: "A new author became a god with one book, earning 450,000 a month. The reason behind it is..."

Pu Jie took a look.

"Puff~"

"How come Qidian is just like a marketing account, using this kind of title party, it's so funny, how can there be such a great newcomer!"

"Qidian tricked me into writing a book series~"

Pu Jie is not talking nonsense, he usually reads the books on Qidian's ranking list.

Especially if a new book enters the top 20 bestseller list, he will pay special attention to it.

To prevent himself from stepping on thunder.

Recently, he has not seen a new author become a god with one book, so it is likely that Qidian is making nonsense.

Only by studying the wind direction of Qidian can you keep hitting the street.

Pu Jie knows clearly that his success this time is hard-won.

He must guard against arrogance and impatience, study the market well, and strive to replicate the miracle of this book with the next book!

"30 average subscriptions. It seems that there are still some merits, and it must be changed!"

Pu Jie is strict with himself.

However, despite saying so, Pu Jie still wants to see what this article is about.

"The person who came up with the title really understands the author, a newcomer, a god with one book, and a monthly income of 450,000, it's too eye-catching!"

No more pretending, show your cards!

He is a layman, and he likes to read this.

"Don't eat, brother Jie, it's time, the teacher will call the roll soon!"

"Oh oh!"

Pu Jie put down his phone, put on his coat and ran out.

There are still 2 minutes before class, why not panic!

"Fuck! Run!"

The four people in the dormitory ran all the way.

University mathematics class,

Pu Jie was a little overwhelmed, and opened his phone casually.

Found a friend verification on QQ.

[Editor-in-chief of Hengshu Chinese Network - Gankoumian]

[Hello, I am the editor of Hengshu Chinese Network. Our website is very interested in your work. Do you consider opening a new book on our website? The treatment is very generous, first-class in the industry! Can you add QQ to chat in detail? ]

"Oh"

Pu Jie chose to ignore this message.

He knew exactly what the other party was doing!

He understood this routine too well.

These so-called "editor-in-chief" are actually just non-staff members of the website.

What interest in your work, he doesn't even know what you wrote!

These non-staff members are specifically looking for authors to publish books on their website. The level is not important at all, as long as they can write.

Good treatment?

15~30 yuan per thousand words, buyout fee, go ahead and write.

Once the data is not ideal, the website can't make money, and they will force you to cut books.

At the same time, they can enrich the library of the website. Anyway, they will definitely not lose money. If a hit book is published, they will make a lot of money!

If the level is too low, it will be difficult to sign a contract. This so-called "editor-in-chief" will sell you to the studio.

"3 yuan per thousand words, smooth sentences are fine, do you want to write it, brother?"

"Too little? There is a book with high requirements, which requires familiarity with the main characters in the front, 5 yuan per thousand words, and a minimum update of 6,000 words a day, do you want to write it?"

"Oh, writing tens of thousands of words a day can also make a living, try it, brother!"

Then he became a gunman for the studio.

In the huge task of coding, his imagination gradually faded and his passion for creation disappeared.

He stared at the remaining word count target every day and became a zombie-like coding machine.

Pu Jie understood the routine here too well.

As for why he understood so well

Friend!

A friend told him,

Woo woo woo~ This friend is so pitiful!

Wow!

Whenever Pu Jie thought of his friend's story, he couldn't help crying for him.

After rejecting an unscrupulous editor, Pu Jie continued to attend the math class, and then was shocked to find that he could no longer understand it!

"Fuck!?"

Wei Fan rushed back from Hengdian and went straight to his alma mater.

Yesterday, his crew officially finished filming.

He did not accept the director's olive branch to cooperate on the next work, but prepared to form his own team.

Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of connections in the circle.

As long as he gets the copyright of the novel, he can start working directly!

Walking to the gate of Beijing Art Institute, Wei Fan smiled. He learned a lot here and left too many memories.

His alma mater will always be his roots.

"I haven't been here for a long time. It's a good opportunity to visit the teachers."

"Well, it would be best if I could ask the teachers to recommend a few junior students with good acting skills."

"Of course, the most important thing is to get the copyright of "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King"!"

Wei Fan went straight to the counselor's office of the freshman screenwriter department.

Wang Xiang, the gold medal screenwriter and counselor, was sitting in the office slacking off, collecting materials!

How can screenwriters be called slacking off!

Wang Xiang is a senior VIP of Qidian. He usually likes to read books here.

After reading the latest chapter of "The Qin Judge", he adjusted his pants.

"The world is going downhill! Evil ways! Strange skills and lewd tricks!"

Then he silently voted for all the monthly tickets and left a comment on the latest chapter,

"Quick update, sleepless nights!"

While humming the tune of a classic movie and TV interlude, Wang Xiang continued to search for materials.

Looking at his bookshelf, he found that he hadn't read it for a few days. "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King" has been updated for more than 20 chapters.

A female teacher came over, looked at the work on the screen, and asked with a smile: "Is this what your students wrote? Well, the data is a bit poor, but there is a lot of writing. You see, they all have the badges of [habitual burst] and [daily update of 10,000 words]"

Wang Xiang gets angry when he sees this book now.

"This kid doesn't listen to advice and is blindly diligent!"

"The most important thing for a screenwriter is film and television works. Without film and television masterpieces, how much money can you make by writing novels!"

"I thought this book was a bit novel when I first read it, but now it's boring and long. Alas, no one wants this crappy story"

The female teacher smiled and said, "I heard that Qidian is very good at managing novel copyrights. Who knows, it may be able to sell it"

Wang Xiang sneered,

"Tsk! Teacher Qi, you are denying the vision of a gold medal screenwriter! How stupid must someone be to want to buy this?"

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Is Teacher Wang here?"

Wei pushed the door open and walked in.
