Lin Yuan also noticed the discussions among book lovers on the Internet.
This was also something he expected.
As one of the three great books in the early era of online novels named by netizens, it is not surprising that "Zhu Xian" has such a hot topic.
This can also be seen in sales.
When "The Prince of Tennis" was first serialized, its average sales ranking in the entire Qinzhou youth fantasy novel field was only around eleventh!
However, the sales volume of "Zhu Xian" in the first month of its release has entered the top ten of youth fantasy books!
It is currently ranked tenth.
Some people may find it strange that the author wrote about the popularity of "Zhu Xian" so highly, so why is it only ranked tenth
In fact, this ranking is already exaggerated.
Because "Zhu Xian" has one biggest flaw, and that is the number of words!
The previous "Prince of Tennis" had at least five volumes.
But the book "Zhu Xian" has only released the second volume so far!
Every volume sold is counted as a sales volume of the novel.
Other people's long works have dozens of volumes of serialized content to help boost sales, but Lin Yuan only has so little content to sell, so of course his sales will be affected.
And if the plot of a novel doesn't break down...
Often, works with more words have higher sales, because the influence of the work will affect more and more people over time.
In other words.
Those with less content will naturally suffer a loss in the sales competition.
You can imagine, if Naruto or One Piece were not so long, would these two works still have such a great influence
Let’s take a more obvious example.
You can take a look at the top ten best-selling titles on Dianniang.
How many books can make it into the top ten in sales with just a few hundred thousand words
In the absence of recommendations or large rewards, the works that can steadily occupy the top ten sales of Dianiang for a long time are basically long novels with millions of words!
Because only when the number of words increases will there be more chapter subscriptions every day.
The same goes for the sales of novels in Qinzhou.
They have so many volumes of content being sold together, how can you compete with them with just one or two volumes
How to compare
Natural disadvantage.
This is also the reason why Silver Blue Bookstore wanted to persuade Lin Yuan to write a longer version of "The Prince of Tennis".
If "The Prince of Tennis" can be written longer without collapsing, there will be no problem for this book to enter the top ten in sales in the future.
Of course.
As long as Chu Kuang doesn't fail in writing, as more volumes of "Zhu Xian" are published, the sales ranking of this book will inevitably improve. This is a natural thing.
This time.
Silver and Blue Book Library is very much looking forward to it.
When the second volume of "Zhu Xian" was released, Yang Feng eagerly asked Chu Kuang for a novel outline plan.
He thought to himself, this time the story background is so grand, it won't be finished early again, right
However, when Yang Feng saw the outline plan of "Zhu Xian" sent by Lin Yuan, his smile froze instantly.
"Eight volumes?"
Chu Kuang planned to write eight volumes of "Zhu Xian"
Yes, that's right, it is indeed an improvement, with three more volumes than "The Prince of Tennis".
But the thing is…
Eight volumes are not too many!
There is still some distance to reach two million words!
He became anxious and reported the matter to the editor-in-chief immediately, and the editor-in-chief reported the matter to the chief editor.
In the end, the editor-in-chief had no choice but to shake his head and let Yang Feng try his best to persuade him.
Yang Feng: “…”
Last time, the "Online Article" was too short, so Yang Feng was ordered to persuade Chu Kuang to write more, but Chu Kuang ignored him at all.
Will it work this time
He made the call with gritted teeth.
When Lin Yuan received the call, he immediately refused when he heard that he was asked to write a longer story: "The word count has been decided."
"All right."
Yang Feng was helpless.
The editor-in-chief and even the chief editor didn't dare to force Chu Kuang to write longer, let alone himself, so he could only let Chu Kuang express himself.
Lin Yuan had no choice.
This time it wasn't the system that was causing trouble. The original version of "Zhu Xian" had just over 1.5 million words, and the system even helped to add an extra 100,000 words.
Next time.
Next time for sure.
I hope the system will have a change of heart and give me a long novel, preferably one that can be serialized to 10 million words.
…
But for Lin Yuan.
Having many books also has its advantages.
Because now, there are two novels under the pen name Chu Kuang that are making money.
It doesn’t mean that “Prince of Tennis” will stop selling after it ends.
There are still new readers who buy books, but the number of these new readers is definitely not as much as when the novel was serialized.
Silver Blue Bookstore will still pay this part of the share on time.
Relying on this money.
Adding the revenue share from the songs under Xianyu's name, Lin Yuan now has an extra 20 million in his bank card!
Twenty million!
The housing prices on Blue Star are not exaggerated. The price of nearly 20 million is enough for Lin Yuan to choose a very nice villa.
Lin Yuan is even considering whether to really buy a villa in Su City
Of course, it is difficult for him to make such a decision given his personality, but if it is for his family, Lin Yuan is willing to consider it.
After all, my sisters will all be in Su City in the future.
Maybe, I will develop in Suzhou for a long time in the future.
Not to mention, Lin Yuan also wanted to bring his mother to Sucheng. He didn't want to leave his mother alone in her hometown.
When the mother gets old, she will inevitably feel lonely without her children by her side.
Besides, Lin Yuan has his own friends, so when his friends come over in the future, they will have a place to stay. The villa has many rooms, so there is no need to worry about being crowded.
When I was a child, my family was afraid of being crowded.
The main thing is that he has been living in Sister Zhao's house. She hasn't even collected the rent, but he often brings his family to live here. Lin Yuan feels a little embarrassed.
Now that I have money, I should buy a house as soon as possible and return my current residence to Sister Zhao.
He simply raised this idea with his sister.
“Buy a villa?”
Lin Xuan was immediately happy when she heard this: "Of course it would be great to live in a villa. Who doesn't want to live in a villa? The problem is that we can't afford it."
“Are villas in Sioux City expensive?”
"A villa in Su City costs at least 10 million yuan. Do you think it's expensive?"
Lin Xuan heard her colleagues talking about the housing prices in Suzhou City and learned that a senior executive of the Silver and Blue Books lived in a villa worth tens of millions.
Lin Yuan said: "Then let's buy one."
Lin Yuan wanted to finish this matter before leaving Qinzhou.
Lin Xuan opened her mouth.
Do you think villas are cabbages
You can buy one if you want
She was silent for a long time before she stared at Lin Yuan and asked, "Composing music, is this how you make money?"
Lin Yuan said: "Not bad."
In fact, he also received royalties from Chu Kuang.
Because all levels of contracts have been upgraded, the share has become much higher.
Adding the income of the two aliases of Xianyu and Chukuang together, it is easy to make more than 10 million a month!
And his income will only increase in the future.
"Can you really afford it?"
Lin Xuan asked in shock.
Lin Xuan then remembered that Lin Yuan had given her 500,000 yuan to buy a car...
It seems like this is really possible
She suddenly felt that her younger brother was the biggest obstacle to her hard work in life!
With a brother like this, she couldn't even find a reason to struggle.
"Then it's settled."
Lin Yuan did not ask for his mother's opinion. If his mother had any opinion, he would just put the blame on his sister.
Lin Xuan was a little confused: "Is it settled?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Sister, please ask for a day off from work tomorrow, let's go house hunting together."
