The Era of the Second Element of the Literary Girl

Soon, a week after the release of "Death Note", the initial data on the physical book was released.

With the changes in the way readers read, in fact, since the beginning of this year, the sales of light physical books in the industry have continued to decline. In contrast, more and more readers are buying electronic versions.

For example, the first volume of "" written by Li Xiaoci at the beginning of the year had only 800,000 initial moves, and the first volume of "Steins;Gate" in March had only 500,000 initial moves. What kind of concept is this?

Two years ago, when Li Xiaoci had just gained fame and started writing the first volume of "White Album", she had already reached this number in her first move!

Although this is related to the slow popularity of Shitoumen itself, even the sales of Mo Shao's works are getting lower and lower, which has indeed affected the self-confidence of many practitioners.

And now, the sales of "Death Note" in the first week once again broke the million mark, reaching an unprecedented 130 copies. This is undoubtedly a very encouraging thing!

"Hey, you don't need to tell me such a small thing as the first million dollars, it's a big deal." On QQ, after hearing the news from Chen Yulan, Xiao Daimao pretended to be calm and replied.

"..." Chen Yulan.

In fact, last year, Li Xiaoci did already have the first million works. In other words, the first million is a big deal for other writers, but it is really not new for Xiaodai Mao. Because it is not the first time for her!

However, Chen Yulan still wanted to say...the situation is so different!

Last year, geeks were still used to buying physical books to read, and light literature never thought of improving the reading experience of electronic versions. At that time, there were only a handful of people who bought electronic versions on the official website, and everyone tended to read physical books. Among them, things like my sister, brother Cheng, etc., are naturally not the pinnacle works of Mo Shao? But the initial sales volume still reached the terrifying figure of one million.

And this year, Qingxue has carefully developed its own official website and improved the user experience of the APP, which has led to a significant increase in the number of readers who bought the electronic version. To go upstream, you must have strong quality and fan cooking skills, and it must be to the extent that a single fan is willing to buy two or three copies at a time.

(The remuneration for the electronic version will naturally be calculated separately)

Of course, only practitioners like Chen Yulan know about this change in the industry environment. As for Li Xiaoci...she has no such concept at all.

Anyway, no matter how many BBs you have in RBQ, the translation is not "Magic Shao nb"!

I already know that I'm awesome, so don't explain, it hurts my brain!

but……

After thinking about it, Li Xiaoci still turned on the calculator on his mobile phone and carefully calculated how much money he earned this week.

There are 130 volumes for the first time, 20 yuan per book, and 10% of the share. In other words, I earned 2.6 million in a week...

It's not that I don't know, but I was shocked when I calculated it. Seeing this number, Xiaodaimao immediately went crazy!

The initial move of 1.3 million does not sound like a concept. Does it mean so much small money?

This is not included in the electronic version of the remuneration!

Yes, at this moment, she suddenly had the motivation to code words!

It's still the kind that blows a thousand miles!

then……

Early June.

Li Xiaoci also stayed at home and began to seriously write the first volume of "From the New World".

Basically, I don’t have to go out once a week, and I rely on takeout for food and drink. I play games, watch animations and so on after typing every day. Therefore, every time Chen Yulan passes by her house after work and comes to press for manuscripts, she can see this Huo was lying on the sofa with a salty face, yawning while watching the animation, scratching his belly and feet from time to time.

It can only be said that apart from her appearance, she is no different from ordinary dead houses in other respects.

Actually, as a young entrepreneur, Li Xiaoci shouldn't be so idle, at least the company has to go, right?

However, in view of Li Xiaonan's personal ability is too strong, one person can manage the company in an orderly manner, so Li Xiaoci found that,

With her sister around, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether I go to the company or not?

Then don't go!

How cool it is to stay at home with salted fish!

Of course, her sister's personal ability is definitely not innate, but cultivated the day after tomorrow. When the two sisters were very young, Li Hailong, as a foresight and top entrepreneur of flower growers, had already discovered that Li Xiaoci could do nothing but make trouble. Empty.

In order to prevent Li Xiaoci from starving to death in the future, Li Hailong had no choice but to put all his energy on Li Xiaonan, preaching and teaching, and he was trained by hell-level devils since he was a child. Raising her, this is the source of Li Xiaonan's great ability.

At that time, Li Hailong would never have thought that this would be the reason why Xiaodaimao is now a salty fish.

but……

The first volume of "From the New World" was written very quickly.

The original work of "From the New World" is science fiction, and Li Xiaoci is used to writing lightly, and the style has already taken shape. Even if it is written according to the outline of the original work, the story will have a certain degree of influence, but overall it is quite restored That's it.

To be honest, "From the New World" can no longer be regarded as the mainstream light in the industry, but before the peaceful era, that is, during the war era, there were many serious and heavy light themes in the industry, so even if "From the New World" has a weird style , as long as the illustrations are exquisite, it doesn't hurt to treat it as light, even if its story is not "light".

editorial office.

After receiving the first volume manuscript of "From the New World" on QQ.

Chen Yulan also began to review seriously.

The story of "From the New World" is lighter than the industry's usual, and it is indeed difficult to understand, because there are too many worldview settings and foreshadowing.

After reading the first volume...

Chen Yulan felt like she didn't understand.

According to the content of the first volume, it seems that superpowers appeared in modern society. After the superpowers appeared, they began to destroy social stability and trigger wars.

Then, when it comes to the generation of the protagonist, it is already a thousand years after the world has passed.

During this period, history has been broken. We only know that the five people including the protagonist were born in a small village like a primitive farming society, and each of them will awaken their magic power when they become adults. In addition to the humans in the village, there is also an ugly creature called a rat, let's call it a rat. They regard humans with magic power as gods and become slaves of humans.

In short, after reading it, Chen Yulan was in a cloud of fog for a while, and had a strong feeling that her IQ was not enough.

For example, because the male protagonist and his party violated the rules of human beings, they ran to places they shouldn't go, and their spell power was sealed by a monk.

According to the previous meaning, this so-called "mantra" must be a superpower, right?

So they are all super powers, and can they be sealed by a bald donkey?

Damn, isn't this guy writing science fiction about superpowers as fantasy?

Of course, in her heart, she was confused and complained, and she immediately started arranging the promotion of this book. With the lessons learned from Shitoumen, now let alone the main line of writing is chaotic, even if the book is well written Even more shit, Chen Yulan won't have any opinions.

...

During the promotion of Mo Shao's sci-fi "From the New World"...

In a high-end residential area.

Mr. Xie Wenyuan is also paying attention to Li Xiaoci's new book because of "Death Note". If the first volume of "From the New World" is released, he will probably buy it back and read it.

besides!

He also ordered the full series of "White Album", "Your Lie in April" and "Kyoto Hatchet Story" online.

In this way, during the period before the release of the first volume of "From the New World" and the second volume of "Death Note", I will not run out of books to read.

Yes, for Xie Wenyuan, whether it is in the circle of reasoning, sci-fi, or youth, he has basically read all that can be seen in the literary world over the years. The New World!

He was even very grateful to Yin Zuwen, an old friend. After all, if this old guy hadn't been so strong, he might not have found such a treasure until he died.

As expected of his old friend for many years, he is reliable!

Come come come!

Let's read "White Album" first, hey, there are only two volumes in the whole series, I can finish it in one night!

then……

At night, sitting in the study, Xie Wenyuan also happily started reading.

but……

If in the first half of the night when reading the first volume of "White Album", Xie Wenyuan could still smile from time to time, feeling that this young man's love is so fresh, then in the second half of the night, when he opened the second volume of "White Album", Xie Wenyuan's expression began to twist.

First, there was a strange pain in the stomach, and then there was a throbbing pain in the chest, as if something had shattered to the ground. In the end, when Xuecai finally said the famous "Why did this happen?"... Xie Wenyuan's mentality collapsed immediately.

Why is this so? It was the first time I had a good friend I could trust, and the first time I discovered such an excellent work. The combination of two happy things should have brought me greater happiness. Why did I suffer so much?

In fact, after watching "The White Album", Xie Wenyuan has already realized the seriousness of the problem.

However, with such a fluke mind, after resting for two days to ease his emotions, he continued to open and finished reading "Your Lie in April".

After reading this time, he rested for three days before barely recovering.

The last is "Kyoto Hatchet Story".

After watching Bai Xue and Four Lies in a row, Xie Wenyuan himself admired his courage for daring to continue to read Mo Shao's works. However, the title of "Kyoto Hatchet Story" is really interesting and unpredictable, so Xie Wenyuan gritted his teeth and opened it anyway.

After all, I have accepted the torture of Bai Xue and Si Li, so I should have some resistance, right?

"Kyoto Hatchet Story" has four volumes, one volume more than Four Lies, and reading three volumes in one night is already the limit of Xie Wenyuan's reading speed, so he only read the first part of "Kyoto Hatchet Story" the first night The three volumes are the three volumes in which Brother Cheng knew Gui Yanye, the world, and Qingpu Shanna respectively.

For the first three volumes, Xie Wenyuan is very gratified. Finally, there is a comfortable love book, which is not easy, really not easy!

It seems that Yin Zuwen's old dog has been cheating himself! There is still some friendship between them!

Strike while the iron is hot, Xie Wenyuan opened the final volume the next day due to his strong curiosity.

then……

That night, the boat of friendship between the two leading figures in the literary world was capsized.
