Chapter 368

"What?"

"More than two million words to serialize and update directly?"

“Like a normal network?”

Wu Tong's words quickly changed the color of the helmsman in the world!

Zhang Chu had never serialized any of them on the Internet in full before. "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was listed on the various lists of Origin Chinese Network after only being updated for more than 200,000 words.

When his "Journey to the West" was serialized on Weibo, the number of comments and forwardings on each Weibo account exceeded 20,000, the number of likes was more than 50,000, and the number of views exceeded 3 million!

Although I don’t know the real content of "Soushen Ji", this kind of attitude of entering the online literature industry is really surprising. If the content of more than two million words is made into a physical book, it will definitely take several works.

Li Zetao asked curiously: "Does Zhang Chu plan to enter the online literature industry in a real sense? What should I do if the physical book is done? Don't you plan to sell it?"

This development trajectory is very strange. Most of the time, after Internet writers have stabilized their divine character, they start to stop competing for monthly ticket lists or other things, and focus on physical, film, television, and game adaptations.

Just as a great god said on Zhihu, the station was just a fish pond, and they had already jumped out of the fish pond. His original words were: "The online literature website he is located in is just a novice village for every great god who is determined to make a lot of money."

For the masters, online literature websites are really just novice villages. For writers who have already operated copyrights, they have long since jumped out of the world of online literature.

The annual rich online writer list is actually an example. The ranking of sugar and three spoons is quite stable every year, but he has not been the first in Yuandian Chinese website in recent years, and he is not even the top three!

Because he has completed the original accumulation of popularity and welcomed a larger and broader world.

Other online authors want to jump out of the website, but Zhang Chu wants to jump in!

In fact, both Zhang Chu and Zhou Kang understood that what restricted Zhang Chu's development potential now is his mass base. Many people have indeed heard of this name, but those who have read his works still account for a small number.

This can be seen from his book sales. No work has sold 5 million copies so far. The closest "Detective Sherlock" has only reached a total sales of 4.2 million copies after the hit British drama of the same name.

The other one with the most potential is of course "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Jingjue Ancient City".

This New Year's Day work has sold 3.8 million copies in three months, and it is still selling hotly!

But these three or four million books are a drop in the ocean for hundreds of millions of netizens in China, and are insignificant parts.

Netizens who have actually watched "Ghost Blows Out the Light" probably have not seen "Journey to the West" yet.

After all, the former requires a fee, while the latter is free serialized on Weibo, and has also formed one hot and popular Internet term after another.

If the building wants to be built higher, the foundation must be laid well, so Menglong Culture Media wants to use the online literature website to help Zhang Chu gain a solid mass base.

The relationship between entities and the Internet is actually a bit similar to the relationship between movies and TV series. Anyway, Zhang Chu understands it so much.

The movie has a relatively high profile, but its income and influence are average; the TV series has a slightly better profile, but its ability to make money and popularity are quite high.

Among the four major actresses, why did Xiaoyanzi suffer from various troughs and still succeed in making a comeback?

It's nothing more than the TV series where she is the protagonist becomes an eternal memory for the post-80s and 90s. It can even be replayed on Xiangnan Satellite TV every winter vacation, and its ratings exceed a large number of new dramas.

With a mass base, no matter how big the Xiaoyanzi makes a mistake, she has the possibility of making a comeback!

Another big actress, after failing to attack Hollywood, returned to China but found that her position had already fallen a lot. Although she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, so what?

Ordinary audiences don’t know her very much and don’t buy it. After experiencing the double-door incident, even if they win more than a dozen actresses in one go, they have not recovered their energy.

This is the disadvantage of only starring in movies and not TV series to accumulate a mass base. Of course, this big actress also realized this. In recent years, she has lowered her posture and has also participated in the filming of her first TV series, but it is already much late. At least for the majority of the 1980s and 1990s and 190s, there is no such thing as sentiment!

Due to its own special reasons, the Internet has many readers and is very suitable for netizens to read. It can help build Zhang Chu's mass base.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Su Shen Ji" are the tools used by Zhang Chu to increase his fans. I believe that domestic readers will definitely surprise the rest!

Back to the topic, the people in charge of these stations are paying attention to this matter, and they all know that Zhang Chu will not give up on the physical books market.

Wu Tong did not keep it a secret and said bluntly: "This time the creation of "Soushen Ji" will be unprecedented. The online serialization and newspaper serialization are carried out at the same time, and both parties maintain a consistent progress. At the same time, the physical collection is published by the method of publishing physical collections. It is expected that the complete collection of physical books will be released when the serialization is halfway through!"

"A book with more than two million words means that it takes all the physical books when it is serialized to more than one million words? Wouldn't readers know the finale and the subsequent plot development? Will they still watch the serial?" Li Zetao asked worriedly.

Wan Gaoyang also asked: "Can you guarantee that Zhang Chu can write so fast? I'm afraid that many full-time online authors will not be able to reach this level."

According to Wu Tong, this is the rhythm of saving a million words of manuscripts, which is simply too terrifying.

"There is nothing to say about the newspaper serialization. Anyway, the readers on our site will hardly have conflicts with the people who read the newspaper. But is it too risky to directly publish a complete collection of physical books? Which publisher is willing to take such a big risk?"

Ding Wenyuan snorted lightly, expressing serious doubts.

However, Wu Tong shrugged and replied: "The Nanhai Publishing Company has already promised it, so you don't have to worry about it. In addition, Zhang Chu's writing speed is very fast. He has sorted out the detailed outline very well. Currently, there are more than 200,000 words left in the manuscript. He can write more than 10,000 words a day, and you only need to update 4,000 words a day, which is definitely time."

In fact, these big guys also understand that there are not many readers who overlap physical books with the Internet. Many times, even if they know that physical books have a finale, many readers will still choose to read slowly on their mobile phones. It is easier to read mobile phones than bringing a large stack of physical books.

Their questions and statements are actually just to reduce the cost and give others a hint that this book is not good, so hurry up and withdraw from the competition!

"Old Chen, you are not short of such a person on Origin Chinese.com, so it's better to give it to us."

"Does Huanyue have so much money to sign Zhang Chu? Could it be that your author's royalties have been deducted again."

"Since you are all so worried, it's better to let Huawei take this risk. I'm so good!"

"Hehe, they are all foxes for thousands of years. What are you playing in Speak of Chinese Studio? What's the specific thing? You have to read the book before talking about it."

Seeing this, Wu Tong turned his head and said to the assistant beside him: "Go and take the first 50,000 words from "Soushen Ji" and I'll let them hurry up and take a look."

The assistant immediately trotted away, and she felt really uncomfortable listening to a group of big shots.

The sound of "dadada" high heels stepping on the ground is crisp and pleasant, and it gradually fades away.

"I know everyone's thoughts. My assistant has already taken "Su Shen Ji". Taking advantage of this time, I will briefly introduce this book to you. Because it will be different from other works and belong to a brand new category!"

Everyone who was tempting each other stopped in unison, turned their eyes to Wu Tong who was standing in the middle.

Another new category?

What is Zhang Chu going to do?

Chen Guangtou and others thought that the development of the Internet had reached an extremely prosperous level, but they never expected that they could play so many tricks.

They want to see what is special about "Soushen Ji"!

"This is an oriental fantasy. The content will surprise you. You will see all kinds of familiar characters and characters, but they are inconsistent with the inherent impressions in your mind."

Wan Gaoyang asked in confusion: "There is no such thing as Eastern fantasy? It is either Western fantasy or Eastern fantasy. If you put these two together, you can create an inappropriate hybrid variety."

"What a strange classification is this? I kind of agree with Lao Wan's statement. It feels like a four-way person, and it's not pleasing to both ends!"

"I'm really a little curious about what kind of works he can make."

Everyone here has a detailed understanding of the types of books. They can't figure out what oriental fantasy is, let alone the rest of the people.

Wu Tong was the same before. If Zhang Chu hadn't explained it to him for half an hour, he would have been confused now.

I don’t know the details clearly, but he is still very familiar with the script, so Wu Tong began to recall Zhang Chu’s introduction and gave these big guys a good lesson!

"What is Western fantasy is easy to understand, such as magicians, dwarves, elves, knights, orcs. These are common plots used in Western fantasy. Many people say that China does not have fantasy, and if you want to write fantasy, just follow the Western settings. This idea is absolutely wrong!"

"We in China have had fantasies since our ancestors. The earliest "Shan Hai Jing" is familiar to everyone, Kuafu chasing the sun, Jingwei fills the sea, Nuwa creates people and repairs the sky, Dayu controls the flood, Gonggong breaks through Buzhou Mountain, etc. According to Zhang Chu's definition, the broad Eastern fantasy is probably an article about the world setting that comes from Chinese tradition and has a fantasy nature."
