Chapter 192: Collective backstabbing from the online literature department (additional update, 28135)
What does it mean that a web novel with 150,000 words starts selling copyrights?
It's too much!
This scared the copyright department of Qidian.
It's not that they haven't sold works with fewer words, but they are usually short stories with a realistic style, which are completed with more than 100,000 words.
For a book like Pu Dingle, which is obviously a long novel, the plot has just begun, and someone has asked about the copyright. This is too exaggerated!
All discerning film and television companies want to spend a small amount of money to pick up bargains.
For buying the copyrights of movies and TV series, they are only willing to pay 1 or 2 million.
The copyright department of Qidian is not stupid. If it was just one company asking them, they might be tempted. Now that so many companies are asking, they are not in a hurry.
The book is good, there is no worry about selling!
It has entered the seller's market.
This is the most comfortable time for the copyright department of Qidian. It is so cool that they don't have to beg for help everywhere to promote the copyright of Qidian books.
You can make money by lying down.
This news soon reached Minghe's ears.
As the editor-in-chief of Pu Dingle, he also had a certain say.
How long would Pu Dingle's book be, whether the world behind it was original, how many words would be written in this book, and whether there was any intention to sell it.
Minghe didn't know.
But he rejected these companies who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity on behalf of Pu Dingle!
"Pu Dingle's new book has a big plan, definitely more than just "Resident Evil". I don't even need to call him to know! If I can't even see this, I have been working with Xiaoxing for so long in vain."
"The last book "Star Legend" sold 6 million. This book has the potential to be a big hit in the future. How can it be sold for 2 million?"
"Reject all of them!"
Minghe rejected these copyrights on behalf of Pu Dingle, and was just about to find him to show off his achievements.
But then he thought about it. It's not appropriate.
He began to recall the way Xiaoxing and Pu Dingle got along.
"Looking for a soulmate in the mountains and rivers, he can guess it even if I don't say it!"
"Yes, this is the best way to get along with Pu Dingle. If you are too utilitarian, you will be disliked."
"Pu Dingle will definitely not be afraid of the editor's pretentiousness. Last time I said that I would try to arrange the best recommendation and he ignored me. In the future, you have to arrange the big recommendation directly to satisfy him!"
Looking at the time, today is only Tuesday.
Currently, "Infinite Time and Space" is being recommended by Qidian, and with the promotion of Qidian's twelve kings, the data has been rising all the way.
In just 3 days, it has risen to 30,000 collections!
It's terrifying!
This is definitely the appeal that only first-line gods have.
"Sure enough, Pu Dingle deliberately released the book at this time, just to use his status as a double king to attract traffic to the new book!"
"He succeeded."
"Next week, when the heat has subsided, I will give his new book a big promotion, and it will take off directly!"
"By the way, according to Pu Dingle's habit, it must be put on the shelves next week, everything is arranged just right. Xiaoxing is gone, you still have me."
At this time, QQ sent a notification.
"Ding~ Pu Dingle has agreed to add friends, classified in the 'big guys to lick' group."
Minghe was happy.
"Sure enough! He is very satisfied with my arrangement this time, and finally recognized me~"
Pu Jie has been in a terrible mood these two days.
The time when the Twelve Heavenly Kings of Qidian were released completely disrupted his rhythm.
This thing is too exaggerated!
It is hung in the most conspicuous place of Qidian, and it will be hung for a whole week.
The sales of his two old books have taken off again recently.
The new book also followed suit.
"Why did you release the book at this time? It's bad luck!"
If Pu Jie had released the book two weeks later, he could have avoided this wave of traffic.
"Alas, there is no one inside Qidian, and they didn't inform me in advance. Really."
Then, Pu Jie opened his QQ and found that "Minghe" applied to add him as a QQ friend once a week.
He was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Minghe had called him several times before, and he just said a few perfunctory words and hung up.
"Ah, this! Is it my fault?"
So, he agreed to Minghe's friend request.
At the same time, he felt a little relieved. He was better than Xiaoxing anyway. At least he would tell him before he was recommended.
He had warned him before the book was released.
Unlike Xiaoxing, he would wait until he was released and then suddenly give him a surprise.
"After all, he is the editor-in-chief, so he will definitely be a little aloof. If I don't take the initiative to recommend it, I guess it won't get much attention after it's put on the shelves. I can just be a transparent person quietly."
"By the way, it will be put on the shelves this Friday."
He said to Minghe, and the other party replied immediately.
Editor-in-chief Minghe: "Don't worry, I have arranged it!"
Pu Dingle: "That's good!"
Look at the editor-in-chief!
He is ruthless and doesn't talk much. He arranges it as soon as he says it will be put on the shelves. Unlike Xiaoxing, he didn't allow it to be put on the shelves, and he had to go through several rounds of recommendations for himself. In the end, he surrendered obediently under his threat.
Comparing the two, the difference is obvious!
"Finally, there is some good news about the new book."
Pu Jie looked at his 30,000 collections, and his face was in pain.
Now he can only hope that these people were pushed by the splash screen ads of Qidian to watch the fun, and they didn't intend to subscribe at all.
But it is obviously unlikely.
"But I have already changed the map. When it is put on the shelves, I will end this map and give readers an opportunity to change the map immediately, so as to dissuade them directly."
Pu Jie remembered the teachings of the God of Peace.
The poison spots are spread all over the book.
However, although this book has a lot of initial collections, with the experience of "Star Legend", Pu Jie knows that it doesn't matter if this kind of book has more starting points. This book has been operated crazily, and it can't exceed the 20,000 average subscription of the previous book, right?
The 20,000 average subscription of the previous book can get subsidies.
The subsidy amount for this book has been increased by 600,000, which is obviously easy to get.
As long as the copyright cannot be sold, it will be fine.
Pu Jie is obviously not worried about the copyright issue. The world view in his book is too messy and complicated, and there is only a small plot in one world, which is impossible to shoot!
Thinking of this, Pu Jie felt better.
"Go to the company to take a walk, relax, and see how much they have lost. Let me feel happy."
Pu Jie walked towards the company with great interest.
Duoyu Company
Niu Zi has replaced Meng Xingkong as the head of the online literature department, working with editor-in-chief Xiaoxing.
The two are jointly responsible for the Duoyu online literature department.
Niu Zi was a little nervous at first, thinking that his ability was not enough for this position.
But Xiaoxing said directly: "Are you doubting President Pu's judgment of people?"
"You can not believe in yourself, but you can not not believe President Pu!"
Niu Zi felt that Xiaoxing was right!
In addition to being able to eat, he must have some advantages that President Pu saw.
Otherwise, President Pu would have chosen him so confidently at that time.
It can't be because others were working at that time, and he was secretly eating small cakes, right?
It can't be said to be stealing, after all, it's a company welfare, everyone can eat.
He just happened to eat a little more and was seen.
So, these days, while Niu Zi was maintaining the work of the online literature department, he tried hard to think about his shining points.
He wanted to figure out why he was chosen by President Pu.
Xiaoxing said that he was right!
"Maybe, this is the first test that President Pu gave you! Can you recognize yourself?"
Niu Zi thought about it for a week.
Today, seeing that Mr. Pu has been ranked among the Twelve Heavenly Kings and his new book collection is rising steadily, he finally has a plan!
"Mr. Pu has recently started a new book, so he must not have much time to manage the company's affairs. Brother Meng has experience and ability, and he will definitely be able to lead the audio reading department well. Mr. Pu is very relieved."
"And the game adaptation department is in charge of Mr. Pu's good brother, the genius designer Manager Liu, so there will naturally be no problems."
"The only problem is. What does Mr. Pu need in the online literature department? It is someone who can take the initiative to do things without him saying anything, like Brother Meng and Manager Liu. So although Mr. Pu didn't tell me what to do, he hopes that I can find things to do myself and don't always let him say it!"
"And my biggest advantage is that I have guessed Mr. Pu's true thoughts many times, and I am the only person who can keep up with Xiaoxing Editor to analyze Mr. Pu's ideas."
"Even occasionally I can analyze some new things, even if Xiaoxing Editor can't see it."
The idea is clear in an instant.
What Mr. Pu needs is a person in charge who understands his true intentions, even if he doesn't say anything, he has to do it himself.
"Let me think about what Mr. Pu said the last time he came."
"He said that the online literature business should not be expanded any further, and that the current number of authors is enough."
"Hiss--I understand! Mr. Pu's thinking is hidden in these two sentences!"
"This sentence alone seems to be no different, but it has to be related to the historical background of Duoyu Company. What did we do before that Mr. Pu would say such a thing?"
"Our company has turned losses into profits and officially entered the profit stage!"
"Mr. Pu said this at this time. Doesn't he want to make more money? Haha~ Anyone who is not a fool would not ask such a question. Mr. Pu's real meaning is actually."
"The business focus of the online literature department has changed! Now we no longer blindly pursue quantity, but we need to serve the current authors well and cultivate authors who can write hits, just like the 30 simulators!"
"Moreover, President Pu also meant that we should establish a system to manage the current authors, give them a better creative environment and higher goals, and continue to write the books in hand, not finish them easily, and keep making money for the company."
"So, the author grading system, welfare distribution, buyout price increase, and offline training of Duoyu Company should all be put on the agenda!"
He told his thoughts to editor-in-chief Xiaoxing.
Xiaoxing was silent for a long time, adjusted his black-framed glasses, and left a sentence.
"I roughly understand why President Pu chose you. You really understand President Pu's mind better than Brother Meng! President Pu. That's what he thinks!"
The two reached a consensus!
Speaking of simulators, Niu Zi suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Mr. Pu's new book was just published not long ago, and he definitely needs help. Although he didn't say it, I have to consider it in advance. This is why Mr. Pu chose me."
"All the books serialized in Qidian Company of Duoyu Company will be recommended to Mr. Pu's "Infinite Time and Space" in a single chapter!"
So, 30 simulators and more than a dozen other books opened single chapters and promoted Mr. Pu's new book in their own words.
After doing all this, Niu Zi felt that he was not ashamed of Mr. Pu's promotion.
"This wave. At least increase Mr. Pu's collection by a few thousand, right?"
At this time.
The company's door opened, and Liu Jiannan's iconic voice appeared.
"Hello, Mr. Pu!"
Today is another day of 10,000-word update! Please vote for me!
