Regardless of whether Lin Jiaojiao felt happy or not, Qin Da, the editor-in-chief of Sea Lion Reading, felt extremely happy at this moment.
"The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" has been ranked as a recommended book just one night, and it has already been collected by 100,000!
This score may be nothing for other categories of Sea Lion Reading. Many urban and ancient romance novels can achieve this score, but for their martial arts category, it is already awesome!
"Haha, you are truly worthy of me! Your vision is amazing!"
Leaning back on the chair, Qin Jian smiled proudly, unable to close his mouth.
Although he didn't want to disturb the happy boss, his editor couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
"But Boss Seven Swords, we haven't signed this book yet..."
Another editor in the team also nodded.
"Yes, the operation team has asked me several times about the situation of the book. Also during the lunch break, editors from other groups also came to us to ask why we pushed an unsigned book. "
"Is it important?" Qin Jian leaned on the office chair and said slowly, "It has been more than a year since we separated the martial arts category. Have you ever seen a book that became so popular as soon as it was published with a banner?"
Moreover, it is not just as simple as fire.
If only the readers on the site are reading, it is just digesting the existing readers. The popularity of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" not only caught the attention of readers on the site, but also became popular outside the circle, attracting a large number of passers-by from outside the site!
Some of these people came here from Xiake.com to read the latest chapters, some were new readers who were attracted by readers of this site, and some of them saw it from other channels.
After all, they are all new users who have just registered!
The martial arts category of Haishi Reading has been established for more than a year now. It has always been crushed by Xiake.com in all aspects. This is the first time that it has attracted readers from the other side in the opposite direction like this.
Haven't signed a contract yet
Is it important
Anyway, Sea Lion Group has a lot of money. As long as the price they offer is higher than that of its friends, and as long as the owner of the Huanzhu poster is not stupid, they will definitely choose them as a partner with more strength!
…
Just when Qin Jianzheng was looking at the background data with great pleasure, and was filled with joy for the second spring of the sea lion reading martial arts category, the martial arts authors on the same site were completely confused.
What's the situation with "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman"
Sword Immortal? soul? Purple and green swords? Fighting
Can martial arts novels be written like this
There is also the secret demon Qijue Wusuo of the stars in the sky. Is this description definitely not about nuclear bombs? This is a martial arts shit!
No, how the hell can this be called martial arts? !
As for some talented and intelligent players, after reading the first volume, it was like a big hole opened in their heads, and inspiration poured out like a fountain.
If you accept these settings...
It seems surprisingly interesting
Of course, there are also many writers with less outstanding talents. After reading it with a frown, they have no other thoughts in their mind except "What the hell are you writing about?"
Sun Wen, for example, falls into this category of writers.
As an old author who has written about martial arts for many years, he feels that he still has a certain say in the word martial arts.
After all, unlike those Haishi Reading authors who became monks on the way, he had been writing about martial arts on Xiake.com a few years ago, but unfortunately there was no improvement. When Haishi Reading had the opportunity to buy out articles in the martial arts category, he went to Haishi with his editor behind his back. Du Du opened his vest and secretly became a young man.
Although he has never been popular on either Haishi Reading or Xiake.com, he has a sense of superiority in his heart due to his "noble birth".
"Damn it! Sea Lion's reading is really getting worse and worse. They recommend all kinds of rubbish books!"
Seeing "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" hanging on the homepage, Sun Wen felt envious, jealous, and hateful.
Good guy.
He has been writing books for several years, and he has never had a homepage banner.
This guy didn't even sign a contract, why can he hang there? !
Is there any justice left!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he suddenly remembered that he had seen this book on Xiake.com before, so he quickly opened Xiake.com to search.
really!
This book was drafted twice!
"Hahahaha! You're a tough guy, brother! Did your father catch you?" Sun Wen was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and the expression on her face was as if she had discovered a new world.
Without any hesitation, he immediately dug out the WeChat account of his old editor when he was writing a book on Xiake.com and sent a private message there.
[Editor, have you read the "Shushan Swordsman Biography" we are on?]
I guess I didn't remember who he was.
The chat window was quiet for a while before a message came back.
[I don’t watch martial arts very much.]
Don’t watch martial arts
That's all right!
Controlling the excitement in her heart, Sun Wen considered her words and continued to send a message.
[Aww, awesome editor, I recently saw this book on Sea Lion Reading, and it was even recommended.]
This time, the other party responded quite quickly.
[Is this happening?]
[Yeah, let me take a screenshot for you.]
Sun Wen quickly took a screenshot and sent it to her old editor.
There was silence on the other side for a while.
A few seconds later, a message came over.
[Okay, I know.]
Seeing this news, Sun Wen suddenly felt happy and threw her phone away happily.
One draft and two submissions, just wait and see!
If I don’t arrange a move for you, my name will be written backwards!
Although harming others and not benefiting oneself does not bring him any substantial benefits, the problem is that it is cool!
Why is this rubbish novel recommended
Die to me!
…
In fact, the outcome of this matter was more serious than Sun Wen expected.
Just when he was making a report to his editor, his editor took a look at the data on the book and reported the matter directly to Editor Yan.
When he heard that the book he signed was actually submitted for multiple drafts and was recommended by a friend, Editor Yan was immediately furious and called Editor Wang into his office.
“What’s going on with this book!”
Looking at the angry Boss with trepidation, Wang Ze, who was confused by the punishment, asked cautiously.
"Which one are you talking about?"
"Which other book could it be?!" Yan Wei threw his phone on the table and said angrily, "The book in your group went to another website to sign up for it, and it even got recommended. No one sent the report to me, I’m still kept in the dark!”
Damn it
What about this
Wang Ze was completely stunned.
He has been the editor-in-chief for so long, and this is the first time he has heard of such a weird thing.
Theoretically, this operation is basically impossible. In order to avoid legal risks, any bookstore will search the text before signing a contract to check whether there is plagiarism or multiple submissions.
Didn't the other person even search the text when signing the book? !
"Let me see… "
He picked up the phone in disbelief, but the moment Wang Ze saw the title of the book, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Is it this one? !
"Editor-in-Chief, you have wronged me. This book... has not been signed!"
Yan Wei said angrily: "With these collections and clicks, are you telling me that they haven't been recommended?"
"I've never been on it!" Wang Ze said, dumbfounded. "If you don't believe me, ask the operations department. Also, look at the bid in the lower right corner. It's still unsigned. How can it be recommended?"
"What the hell are you so embarrassed about!" He wanted to throw his phone on his face. The fire in Yan Wei's heart became even fiercer. He yelled angrily and reprimanded, "You can't even sign the book that you can get such results." ?! What are you thinking about?"
"I… "
Wang Ze opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but for a while he couldn't think of a suitable reason, and he complained in his heart.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he noticed a detail.
"Mr. Yan..."
"What else do you want to say?"
"Actually, we still have a chance," Wang Ze swallowed while staring at the phone screen and continued, "Although I don't know why this book was recommended on Sea Lion Reading, but... looking at the signing information on the book page, they also I didn’t sign it.”
"No signature?" Yan Wei frowned, touched his chin and said, "Is it a custom-made document?"
Some film and television companies do not sign separate contracts with websites for custom-made novels. They just borrow a place to publish them, and then purchase recommended spots with a clear price tag to gain exposure opportunities.
However, this doesn’t make sense.
If it was a customized article and it was posted on Xiake.com, colleagues from the copyright department would have come to greet him long ago.
"I don't think it's like a customized article... But no matter what method he used to get the recommendation from Sea Lion Reading, it doesn't mean that we have no chance," Wang Ze said carefully, "Xike.com is the No. 1 martial arts category. A big stop, I believe that as long as they write martial arts novels, no one will refuse our offer of an olive branch!"
"Ha, wait until you sign it before bragging to me about it."
Looking at Wang Ze who didn't dare to take a breath, Editor Yan snorted coldly and continued in a warning tone, "I only give you three days, and I will see the results after three days."
"otherwise-"
"You know the consequences yourself!"
…
Coming out of the editor-in-chief's office, Wang Ze's face turned blue and white.
Seeing the expression on Editor Wang's face, the editor in charge who was waiting outside quickly came over to greet him.
"Boss, how's the matter?"
"How is it? How can it be so special?"
The uncertain expression on his face changed. After Wang Ze thought for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Anyway, let's block the book first! I'll discuss the signing in person."
Damn it, update on Sea Lion Reading first
Think your dad is a traffic cash machine!
Wang Ze's plan is very simple, that is, give him a big stick and then add a sweet date.
Xiake.com's status in the category of martial arts literature is equivalent to the big brother of Jianghu. It is also the only one among all online novel book sites that has formed a martial arts literature ecosystem.
In other words, only they have the ability to create gods!
As for Haishi Reading, although the traffic is good, the best sellers are urban novels, and the only ones that have some relevance are ancient romances. There is no market for martial arts novels at all!
Wang Ze has no doubt that when Huanzhulouzhu saw his work removed from the shelves, he would be pissed off and beg his grandpa and grandma to unblock him.
By then, won’t the signing be easy
