As the helmsmen of Tencent's online literature group, Chen Yang and Wu Jun have been living in fear over the past two months.
They are afraid that one day when they wake up, Qianqianwenji will suddenly explode again, pulling their online literature group down from its leading position in the industry and dealing another heavy blow to Tencent's plan for a large entertainment industry...
Unlike the pop music platform that took off.
It is difficult for pop music to have derivatives. It is nothing more than a song to attract some crazy fans.
However, as the source of content, the online literature group is extremely important to Tencent's entire cultural and entertainment strategy.
Online literature groups create popular works and then sell their copyrights to production companies under Tencent, which then shoot them into online dramas or make them into comics and animations, etc., and then broadcast them on Tencent’s video platforms, or develop them into games and launch them on Tencent’s game platforms.
Such an industrial chain can gather a large number of users and also harvest the wallets of many viewers and players and book fans.
Several major Internet giants have implemented entertainment strategic plans.
However, so far, only Tencent has succeeded. Several other giants have invested a lot of money, but are now in a useless situation, finding it difficult to succeed, but they have invested a lot of money and are reluctant to throw it away.
Only Tencent’s large-scale entertainment strategy is extremely successful, and it almost dominates half of the domestic entertainment industry!
One of its core elements is the online literature group that controls the source of content and its extremely powerful ability to gather fans!
Although the annual output value of the online literature group itself is not much, less than 10 billion yuan, which is insignificant compared to the annual output value of the entire Tencent, the series of values derived from its content development is extremely huge.
When the online literature group has been firmly sitting on the leading position in the industry, attracting most of the high-quality online literature authors in the industry and continuously producing high-quality content, Tencent has not paid much attention to it, allowing it to develop freely and also squeezing its authors as much as possible to reap more profits.
Anyway, in the same field, there is really no one who can threaten the status and appeal of the online literature group.
but.
When Qianqian Wenji suddenly rose to prominence and threatened the leading position of the Online Literature Group in the industry, and when many high-quality online writers in the industry went to Qianqian Wenji and achieved success.
The online literature group as the source of content becomes extremely important, and the many high-quality authors under the online literature group become extremely important.
so…
Recently, online literature groups have been continuously increasing the welfare income of authors, and Tencent has also spared no effort to divert traffic to online literature groups, increase the traffic of online literature groups as much as possible, and also increase authors' income in disguise, in order to stabilize the minds of its authors and resist the temptation from thousands of collections of works.
As soon as I heard that the Three Kingdoms was updated.
Not only Chen Yang and Wu Jun, the two leaders of the online literature group, were extremely shocked and watched the video quickly.
Many people in the literature and online writing industry have entered Qianqian Wenji and started reading the latest updates of The Three Kingdoms.
In a certain group of online literary masters, it was extremely lively at this moment.
"Professor Wang's Three Kingdoms has been updated. Has everyone seen it?"
"I've seen it. I'm already reading it. It's incredible. It's very consistent with the previous one. I can't tell that it was written two months later..."
"Yes, let alone this kind of semi-literary historical romance novel that is extremely difficult to write, even if our amateur novels stop updating for two months and then start writing again, the feeling will be different."
"I can only say that a genius is a genius, and Professor Wang is awesome."
"By the way, Tianfeng, you switched to Qianqian Wenji, how is the new book on the shelves?"
"Hehe, it was just launched the day before yesterday, and the subscription has exceeded one million. It is more than double the number of my previous website in the online literature group. Qianqianwenji has many readers now, but there are relatively few books to read. If you are interested in better development, you may as well give it a try."
The group suddenly became quiet for a moment, and all the great players who were usually lurking jumped out one after another.
They have known this online author named Tianfeng for many years. He was a famous author in the online literature group under Tencent, with an annual income of tens of millions.
A month ago, Tianfeng switched to Qianqian Wenji, which caused quite a stir in the group.
Because he is one of the few great authors who changed jobs.
Many people are watching the performance of Tianfeng’s first book on the Qianqian Collection.
If the results are very good, then other great authors may become eager to try.
After all, who doesn’t want to have a better future? Who doesn’t want to make more money
It’s just that there was no better place to go before. The online literature group under Tencent was already the best and most stable online literature platform, with large traffic and high payment rate.
If they have one more place to go, they will have more choices in the future, which will be more beneficial for long-term development.
Not to mention anything else, just under the pressure of Qianqian Wenji, the new contract they signed was even more generous.
After a moment of silence in the group, it immediately became more lively.
"Fuck, Master Tianfeng, you have proven your supremacy in one fell swoop! With a million subscriptions at the beginning, isn't it normal for the number to increase several times later?"
"Tianfeng, can you introduce me to your editor?"
"Tianfeng, with your achievements like these, is it Qianqian Jingting who strongly recommends you?"
"Master Tianfeng, have you met Professor Wang?"
…
Tian Feng said quickly: "I have never met Professor Wang, but our editor said that Professor Wang might come to the annual gathering of masters. Well, I won't say more. I will read Professor Wang's Three Kingdoms first, and then think about tomorrow's update..."
After saying this, Tianfeng quickly disappeared.
But the group was not calm at all, and the excitement continued.
Many talented authors and masters who usually dormant have come out one after another.
"Qian Qian Wen Ji seems like a good place to go. Yesterday, the editor asked me to sign a new contract, but I was hesitating. Now, I want to try Qian Qian Wen Ji."
"I want to give it a try, too. Last week, an editor from Qianqian Anthology asked me if I would like to go. They are in need of good books right now. As long as the work is good, they will strongly recommend it and it will not be a failure. I will send the beginning of my work tomorrow and give it a try..."
"Wow, there is a chance to meet Professor Wang. I will definitely go and try to attend the annual meeting to meet Professor Wang."
"That's right. If I can meet Professor Wang and get his autograph, I'll make a fortune. I'll submit my work tomorrow."
"By the way, who knows how many subscriptions Professor Wang's Three Kingdoms has? It was said that the average subscription reached tens of millions. This is really amazing data."
"I can only say that Professor Wang is really amazing. No matter what he does, he can be the best in the world."
…
As a group of well-known experts in the industry, there are naturally many editors from various websites in the industry who hide among them to collect information.
Seeing that many great authors wanted to go to Qianqian Wenji, editors from all walks of life immediately reported the news.
Chen Yang and Wu Jun were reading the latest chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms with great concentration when the phone suddenly rang.
The two didn't want to answer the phone and wanted to finish watching the whole segment in one go.
However, when I saw that the call was from the two editors-in-chief, I paused my thoughts on the Three Kingdoms and picked up the phone to answer it.
The two editors-in-chief naturally reported the news within the group of great masters to the two group bosses.
"Mr. Chen, the situation is not optimistic. Recently, many great and powerful authors may switch to Qianqian Wenji. The new contracts we sent them have increased their salaries, but at least one-third of them are still waiting and have not signed. Most of them may leave."
…
"Mr. Wu, the latest batch of new books in Qianqian Collection have been selling well. Many of our talented authors may go there. Should we continue to take action to retain them?"
…
After receiving the news, the two men lost interest in reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms and sent people to the conference room to discuss how to respond to Qian Qian's aggressive attitude.
As the general manager of the group, Chen Yang first said: "Professor Wang Qian is back from North America. I thought he would make a new album first after finishing his lectures in Beijing. After all, he has been focusing on music recently. I didn't expect that he would update Romance of the Three Kingdoms first."
"Now, Qianqian's collection of essays will once again become the focus. Tell me, how many of your authors will switch jobs?"
Several editors looked at each other and began to report.
"On my side, there may be more than 30 talented authors who have jumped ship and rejected the new contract."
"Three of my editors left and were poached by Qianqian Wenji. They also took away a lot of talented authors, about 40 of them."
"An old editor under me also left, taking with him about 20 authors and a dozen wavering ones."
…
After several people reported, Chen Yang and Wu Jun both looked solemn.
The situation is not optimistic.
Although they claim to have millions of authors, that is just bluff. They also include many who have only written a few words and never posted again. Many of them just wrote something for fun, and some are just pseudonyms of various authors who also wrote a little bit and never posted again.
There are only about a thousand talented authors who have the ability to output texts stably. One-tenth of them have changed jobs, and the remaining one-third are still wavering.
This almost shook their foundation.
Deputy General Manager Wu Jun immediately said: "First stabilize people's hearts and hold a few activities. The winners can be recommended by all platforms under Tencent."
Chen Yang also nodded and said, "Yes, this is what we applied for from Tencent headquarters. There are a total of five opportunities for full platform recommendations, each of which is worth tens of millions. We must make good use of it and create five great authors to increase the attractiveness of our platform to authors..."
Several editors immediately began to discuss how to plan this event.
After Chen Yang and Wu Jun discussed it, Wu Jun stayed to continue presiding over the meeting, while Chen Yang left the group headquarters and booked a flight to Pengcheng. He planned to go to Tencent headquarters to meet with the senior management of Tencent and continue to apply for more resources to cope with the pressure of Qianqian Collection.
After all, Tencent does not want the Online Literature Group to become the next take-off platform.
Therefore, it can be predicted that online literature groups will receive greater resource support in the future...
…
Capital city.
Inside a courtyard.
Xue Zhenguo was chatting with several old men.
One of the old men said, "Zhenguo, has Wang Qian accepted your invitation?"
Xue Zhenguo nodded and said, "Yes, Wang Qian has already agreed to give a class at our school next time he comes to Beijing. However, we cannot interfere with the content of the class."
Another old man nodded: "With his strength and talent, he is indeed qualified. He has already left a mark at Zhejiang University and Shuangxing. Our schools in Beijing cannot lag behind for too long."
Xue Zhenguo said softly: "I heard that the Calligraphy Association has included Professor Wang's calligraphy fonts in the scope of recognized Chinese calligraphy."
An old man nodded: "Yes, Li Xiyan and Tao Zhishan strongly recommended it. I heard that Li Xiyan has reached the master level in Wang Qian's calligraphy."
Several people were amazed after hearing it.
There are not many calligraphy masters in China now. There are a few in the north and south, and the total number of their calligraphy masters does not exceed two hands.
However, these calligraphy masters of the older generation became calligraphy masters decades ago, and the youngest one also became a calligraphy master more than ten or twenty years ago.
No new master of calligraphy has emerged in the past twenty years.
Because there are far fewer people learning calligraphy than before, and even fewer people interested in it, the probability of a calligraphy master being born is of course lower.
The only new calligraphy master born recently, Li Xiyan, is practicing a new calligraphy font.
Of course, this does not include Wang Qian.
Because the official recognition of Wang Qian's status as a calligrapher is equivalent to recognizing Wang Qian's achievements in establishing a new school in the field of calligraphy.
Therefore, Wang Qian's status is already above that of all calligraphy masters. He is a calligraphy master who founded a school and a founder of a calligraphy school. If he were not too young, he might have been compared with several calligraphy masters in history.
However, if development continues, a few hundred years later, Wang Qian's status in the field of calligraphy will inevitably be ranked among the few calligraphy masters in history.
winter…
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Several people looked over.
Xue Man gently pushed the door open and walked in. Facing several pairs of eyes, she said softly, "Dad, grandfathers, Professor Wang's Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been updated. Haven't you been urging Professor Wang to update it quickly? He just updated three pictures at once. I came to inform you."
When Xue Zhenguo and several elders heard this, they were all excited for a moment.
Xue Zhenguo: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been updated? Did Professor Wang just update it?"
A few people still didn't believe it.
After all, they all knew how busy Wang Qian was before, and they also knew how busy Wang Qian would be in the future.
Being so busy, how could one have the energy and time to conceive and write a grand and complex historical novel like Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Xue Man nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it has been updated. I have read one chapter and it is as wonderful as before. Professor Wang is really an invincible genius."
An old man couldn't wait to say, "Hey, Xue Man, you should read it to us now. I can't see the phone clearly without my glasses."
Another old man also said, "Girl, please read it to us. This book is the most unforgettable novel I have ever read in my life. It is very well written, every word is precious, and each character has its own characteristics. You will never forget it after reading it. I thought I might not be able to see the ending in this lifetime, but I didn't expect Wang Qian to update it. Then please read it to us."
Xue Man felt helpless after hearing this. She should have known not to come to inform her. Now it seems like she has gotten herself into trouble.
Xue Zhenguo ignored his daughter's reluctance and said directly: "Xue Man, then come over and read the latest chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms to the grandfathers..."
Xue Man forced a smile: "Okay, then I'll read it to you. I'm not that professional, please don't be offended, grandpas..."
Several old men couldn't wait any longer and said they didn't mind.
"Just read it quickly, it's okay."
"I don't mind, as long as you can understand it."
"hurry up… "
Xue Man immediately started reading from the latest chapter.
…
After Wang Qian updated the latest three chapters, he looked at the two-month cumulative data in the backend, slightly surprised, and refreshed the subscription data of the latest chapter, and was even more shocked...
Two months later, it's still so terrifying
