Chapter 137 The Moon of Harvest
"Have you heard that, I will sign a batch of platinum authors from next month."
Whether it is the group of great gods that Tong Yan joined or the Longkong Forum, the discussions about the second batch of platinum authors were unprecedentedly lively. Tang San, the dancers signed platinum for the first time, were full of energy. Their novels have been on the homepage, and the recommendations are super strong, which is enviable.
So after the news came out, the second batch of platinum writers from Qidian attracted much attention, and many popular writers became popular candidates. Some even opened a platinum writers in Longkong, betting on which one would become the second batch of platinum writers. Among them, Jingguan, who was at the peak of the sky, was the most popular, but Tong Yan found out from him that he did not sign the contract, and Tong Yan didn't have the nerve to inquire about the specific reason.
Tong Yan Wuji will definitely not be on the second batch of lists. Although his first book of "The Furious Thunder" has been successfully exceeded 10,000, this is his first novel, and it has not yet been completed, which does not meet the requirements, so Tong Yan is too lazy to pay attention to it.
In the last three days of the end of the month, he tried his best to update his words and competed with three other novels with a monthly ticket of 3,000+ for the last two places in the top five monthly tickets.
First of all, the unsatisfactory update of "The Best Young Master" fell behind first, nearly 100 monthly tickets lower than the other three books, and the gap between these three books is only a dozen monthly tickets.
Immediately afterwards, Salem was suspected to have revealed in the book friends that he was on the second platinum list, so his hardcore fans made a lot of effort, and at the last moment, he threw away "Raging Thunder" and "New China 1911".
The fifth place battle belongs to Tong Yan Wuji and Angel Oscars. One is a fantasy upstart who has won the gods in a book, and the other is a history master after the drunkard leaves. Their popularity is not overwhelming. However, there is a big problem with the history writers, which is that they are too willful and the amount of updates will be willful. If the update time is willful and in good condition, there will be tens of thousands of words a day. If the condition is not good, I'm sorry. I didn't update today, and even when competing for the monthly vote list at the end of the month, the Angel Oscar directly released the readers' pigeons on the second day to the end of the month, and I don't know where to go to find inspiration.
On the other hand, Tong Yan spent almost all his time on typing for the monthly ticket honor this time, and the updates were fast and stable. His readers felt sorry for him very much, knowing that it was not easy for him to be a high school student, and even knowing his determination this time. Many readers even subscribe to some novels that they do not read in order to vote for "Raging Thunder". This is also a form of fan economy in the online literature industry.
On the last day, Tong Yan updated six chapters early, allowing readers to read enough at once, then closed the web page, preparing for the update on the first day of August, regardless of whether July can enter the first five. He is determined to win in August, and he spent the whole month on typing.
"Brother, your book has arrived!"
Tong Yan had just finished writing a chapter. Shanshan ran over with a package.
Tong Yan thought it was a traditional novel. Because it was going to be summer vacation, Tong Yan asked Lin Qingyi to send the novel to his house and then switched to his residence in the city after school started. He did not need to send it to the school in the future. However, looking at the mailing address and packaging, it did not seem to come from Taiwan, but the mainland.
Tong Yan couldn't help but open the package happily, and sure enough, he saw his first simplified physical book.
A simplified physical book has 180,000 words and is priced at 22 yuan. There are five books in total, which is heavier than traditional books. Both the cover and the paper are also more sophisticated. Tong Yan flipped it over and over again, and then threw it to Shanshan. Shanshan doesn't like reading books, but the brother's exception.
"Brother, sign me." Shanshan turned over two pages and handed it to Tong Yan.
Tong Yan signed the autographs once or twice. The traditional Chinese physical books I sent out before were signed, but they were all signed for relatives and friends. I just don’t know when I could have a signing party, just like a real writer.
Tong Yan logged into QQ later and told Liu Hanfan, the editor of Northern Literature and Art Publishing House that he had received the sample book they sent, "When will I see this book in the bookstore?"
Liu Hanfan said: "We have begun to prepare to sell goods in major bookstores across the country. In addition, online selling of books is also an important way. I suggest you promote it among your readers and let them buy them online. The bookstores that can cover 10,000 books are very limited, and some areas may have omissions."
Tong Yan is mentally prepared. After all, the sales and purchasing power of online novels cannot be compared with those of Han Sai and Guo Xiaosi and other young best-selling writers. It is a problem whether there are 10,000 readers to pay for physical books. After all, only 10,000 paid readers of "Raging Thunder".
Then, Liu Hanfan thought about what Tong Yan thought and mentioned the issue of royalties, "You can call your card on the fifteenth next month, please pay attention to check it."
Subscription royalties, simplified Chinese manuscript fees, traditional Chinese manuscript fees, as well as the legendary half-year prize and possible monthly ticket bonus, Tong Yan thinks August will be a harvest month!
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Tong Yan opened the starting point and found the monthly ticket list. He was relieved. "Raging Thunder" had 3958 votes! 30 more votes than "1911 New China", and ranked fifth in the monthly ticket list!
The monthly ticket bonus for the monthly ticket list is 3,000 yuan. Although Tong Yan’s subscription remuneration is not less than 10,000 yuan now, of course, the more money it will be better. This is also the second time that Tong Yan has received a monthly ticket bonus. The first time is the new book monthly ticket bonus of 2,500 yuan.
While excited, Tong Yan burst into eight chapters in one breath and continued to ask for the guaranteed monthly ticket for August.
Readers saw Tong Yan's enthusiasm and voted for support, and the book review area of the reader group was also very lively.
Yi Jimian: I just voted for the guaranteed monthly vote, and Wuji updated eight chapters. It’s so domineering!
Nickname: Chapter 8, August, the great god Wuji has a profound meaning!
A smile makes me sad: voting and voting will put Thunder to the top!
The Edge of Hell: The VIP I just charged, the first monthly vote for Wuji!
Zhang’s Feicai: Vote! Vote!
Yewu Fengling: I have been watching it so good these days, but why do I feel that it is not far from the end?
Missing that year: Wuji said that there is still 400,000 words left, so I really can’t write much.
The person who reads the book 291: Thunder is over, I don’t know what else to read, cry ~~
Confronting Time: I don’t know if Wuji has finished writing this book or not.
Jingjimen: Why not write it?
Sleeping lazy cat: Big brother, it’s the college entrance examination!
Pessimistic and neurotic man: The grades of this book are so good, why are you still getting better?
Xiaoxiao Shutong: Yes, that's it.
While readers were discussing whether Tong Yanwuji should take the college entrance examination, Tong Yan was searching for information about a university in the capital online.
Communication University of China. The school where Song Rao applied for and was admitted was both 211 and 985, and many hosts were born. Song Rao's previous grades were never able to get into such an institution. However, she went to the third year of high school and fell in love. Her condition was getting better and better in the college entrance examination, with an estimated score of 608 and an actual score of 613. She entered Communication University of China and majored in electronic media.
After receiving this news, Tong Yan was of course very happy and went to the city to reunite with her for two days. However, after returning, he was busy typing and chasing the monthly ticket list, so he just knew her school name and major.
Now I finally have time. Tong Yan checked Communication University of China online, mainly to check the geographical location. He found that the school was outside the Fifth Ring Road, and the East Fifth Ring Road. The main key universities in the capital are basically within the Third Ring Road, and it is the West City, such a big metropolis, from west to east. If you want to meet again in the future, it will take a lot of time.
But at last, I was still in a city. At worst, I could spend more time to find her at their school. Tong Yan temporarily let go of his worries and prepared to have a good night's sleep and continue to struggle tomorrow.
"Raging Thunder" is in a very strong momentum now. On the first day of August, under the power of Tong Yan's eight chapters, it directly entered the top three monthly ticket list, and 1,200 monthly tickets rose overnight!
The second one in front of him was "New China 1911" which lost to him last month. It seems that Angel Oscar is in good condition now. He is going to avenge his previous shame, and the first one is "Beast Blood Boiling". Tang San's "Sky Speed Star Trace" has been completed, but his new book "Ice and Fire Demon Chef" will soon be released again. He is really hardworking.
With such a good start, Tong Yan even began to imagine that perhaps he could win the highest honor and win the highest honor. Although Jingguan is a friend, he speaks on the monthly ticket list by relying on his strength. Of course, his current strength is definitely not as good as Jingguan, but with the blessing of the update volume, there is not completely hopeless.
Since this new goal was set, Tong Yan naturally increased his strength and began his day and night life. It was monotonous and boring, but full of passion.
When writing online novels, if you are tired and tired, look at the background manuscript fee, you will be energetic. Tong Yan is like this. The update volume of more than five days of five days makes him dizzy and lose his appetite. However, after seeing the author's background manuscript fee, he becomes energetic again.
In July, Tong Yan updated a total of 81 chapters of VIP, all of which reached a high of 7,400. The subscription royalty income was 25,400 yuan, and the monthly ticket bonus was 3,000 yuan, totaling 28,000 yuan!
The subscription fee in July was much higher in the past month, but the surprise was not the same. In August, Qidian finally began to pay half-year awards to VIP authors!
This is a policy set at the beginning of the year. To be precise, it should be a reward for the completion of the book, that is, the proportion of the author's subscription remuneration after the book is completed to encourage the author's creation. However, considering that some books may be written for many years, it is changed to be published once every six months, and there is no need to complete the book.
This reward should have been paid in July and January, but due to the turmoil of the editor-writer's departure, it has been delayed until August. As long as authors with monthly updates of 40,000 words (ps: afterwards) in the first half of 2006, authors with monthly updates of more than 40,000 words (ps: afterwards) can get 40% of the royalties income, which means that ordinary writers' writings are 1,000 words per cent. If the update is maintained, it will be 1,000 words per cent. This income is quite considerable.
"Raging Thunder" was released in January, and Tong Yan's monthly update volume is no less than 100,000 yuan, so he is naturally qualified to get this money. The six-month subscription royalty income exceeds 75,000 yuan, and 40% of the subscription royalty fee is 30,000 yuan! The exact number is 32,080!
So the author Tong Yan’s backstage showed that his income was 60,000 yuan! The tax deduction was more than 50,000 yuan, but that was not the end. Log in to QQ and Sister Xigua notified Tong Yan, "Send me your address at home, and I will give you a big gift..." (To be continued)
