Chapter 247 246. Horrible subscription, earning millions for one chapter? (Subscribe)

Who would be most nervous if Romance of the Three Kingdoms started charging for reading?

That must be Wu Jun!

The CEO of Tengwen Group.

Online reading is the foundation for the extension of various IPs of Tengwen Group.

Originally, they could have laughed at their sister company, Tengfei Group, being forced into a panic and in a mess by Qian Qian Jingting, but now they were losing ground.

Now……

Wu Jun found that he seemed to have brought disaster upon himself.

Seeing the joke happened to me...

Knock, knock, knock! There was a knock on the door.

Wu Jun stared at the computer screen and shouted calmly, "Come in!"

A middle-aged man walked in quickly. It was Chen Yang, the editor-in-chief of Tengwen Group.

Both Chen Yang and Wu Jun are the founding fathers of Tengwen Group. They can be regarded as one of the founders of online literature and are absolute veterans and seniors in the industry.

Chen Yang walked in quickly, poured a cup of tea in a familiar manner, drank it all in one gulp, and said hurriedly: "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is on the shelves."

Wu Jun stared at the computer and said softly, "I'm reading the latest paid chapter. Have you read it?"

Chen Yang nodded: "I saw it, I saw it faster than you."

Wu Jun asked: "How do you feel?"

Chen Yang sat on the sofa and said, "How should I describe this novel? In terms of literature, it is really amazing. As far as the current content is concerned, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best novel in the past 20 to 30 years. However, in the field of online literature, it can be said that it is doomed to fail! There are too many and too scattered characters, multiple narrative lines, and no core protagonist. Most importantly, the writing style is too unfriendly to online readers who like fast food. They don't have that much patience to carefully ponder every word!"

"Online readers like simplicity and straightforwardness, and a fast pace. They must have something refreshing and exciting within a few chapters, and the grammar and writing style must be understandable at a glance. This book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is obviously not of this style! It's hard to read, and you have to look up a dictionary to understand it."

"If this book was published by an unknown author on our Tengwen platform, it would probably be a complete flop."

Wu Jun: "Wang Qian's drainage itself is terrifying."

Chen Yang nodded: "This is the core point. Wang Qian himself has a terrifying 50 million fans, which is the most popular person in the whole of China. He can attract a huge amount of readers. In addition, he is already quite accomplished and famous in the field of literature, so he can make everyone more patient to read his book."

Wu Jun's eyes still did not leave the words on the computer screen, but he also added: "There is one more thing you didn't mention!"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment: "What?"

He has been an editor for more than ten years, rising step by step from a small editor to the position of editor-in-chief. He can be regarded as an expert in online literature and believes that his analysis has been very thorough.

Wu Jun looked up at Chen Yang and said seriously, "Another point is that Wang Qian's class at Shuangxing aroused everyone's curiosity about the history of the Three Kingdoms! This field itself is a blank. Even in the time-travel literature on the Internet, almost no one writes about the Three Kingdoms, because everyone is not familiar with the history of that era and doesn't know how to write about it."

"So, everyone is very curious about the history of this period, which lays the foundation for everyone to continue watching. That's how I was attracted to it, and I couldn't stop watching it once I started."

Chen Yang understood and nodded, saying, "Yes! This is indeed very important. Another important point is the amount of updates he makes! Forty to fifty thousand words a day, this amount of updates, no one in our Tengwen can do it! And to maintain this super high standard, I can only say that this model cannot be replicated by online writers."

Wu Jun nodded and asked, "Then what impact do you think the publication of his book will have on us?"

Chen Yang said solemnly: "The impact is huge! First of all, Wang Qian has attracted a large number of readers who are willing to pay to read Qianqian Wenji through this book. These readers will definitely look for other works to read on Qianqian Wenji, bringing in more paying readers."

"I think Qianqian Collection will definitely continue to launch more paid reading works. Right now, even we don't know how many paid subscriptions there are for Wang Qian's book!"

Wu Jun sighed, "I asked the technical department, and they estimated that the data will be amazing. It will be easy to break our record. The number of readers will be at least in the millions. Most of these readers will pay to continue reading, and I am one of them."

Chen Yang: "So, his paid reading data will reach more than one million?"

Wu Jun nodded: "This is just a follow-up reading. The overall data will be even more terrifying. We will face a terrible opponent. I used to joke that Lao Wang and his team were incompetent and were beaten back by a newly rising Qian Qian Jing Ting. Now, I also feel this way."

“No idea where to start!”

"I feel powerless and at a loss as to how to deal with this situation."

Chen Yang fell silent.

To be honest, he also felt that he had no idea where to start.

The other party published a traditional literary work like Romance of the Three Kingdoms! It is not of the same type as their super-best-selling works.

How can they compete? Wu Jun continued: "What we can do is to prevent them from digging our corners and foundations. You should contact those super masters of online literature right now, appease them, and promise to give them more traffic and more lenient contracts in the near future."

"But the next contract must have an exclusivity agreement and I can't go to Qianqianwenji."

Chen Yang asked, "Can't I go to Qianqian Collection just by writing?"

Generally, don't they say that you can't go to other platforms of the same type? Directly targeting Qianqian Wenji is illegal and against the rules, right? However, Wu Jun said: "Yes, just write this one clause. It doesn't matter whether it is legal or not. It shows our attitude. I am not afraid of other peers at all. The only one that poses a huge threat to us now is Qianqian Wenji. We must take it seriously from the very beginning and treat it as a moment of life and death. Don't follow the old path of Tengfei. If you don't pay enough attention to Qianqian Jingting at the beginning, you will be unable to resist when Qianqian Jingting becomes bigger."

Chen Yang: "I will discuss it with the legal department."

Wu Jun: "Okay, go ahead! Keep an eye on the news about Wang Qian and Qian Qian's collection of essays."

Chen Yang stood up and said goodbye: "Okay, I'll go now."

Watched Chen Yang leave.

Wu Jun read the latest chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms for a while and then he reached the end. There was no new content, so he immediately opened the first chapter and read it again, muttering to himself, "This book is really very suitable for repeated and careful reading. It is so wonderfully written."

This is the fourth time he has read it again for the third time.

But he knew that there would definitely be a fifth and a sixth time.

Because every time he watches it, he likes it very much, feels excited, has new discoveries, and wants to watch it again.

…

Wang Qian was a little surprised when he saw the data in the background, but not too shocked.

After all, a new song he released could be downloaded over 10 million times in ten minutes, and the current subscription data of Romance of the Three Kingdoms obviously cannot reach this level.

However, the two are not of the same type or level, so the current data is beyond Wang Qian's expectations.

The latest chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was uploaded less than a minute ago.

The number of paid subscribers displayed exceeded 500,000! This was already higher than the 100,000 or so first-time subscribers that Xu Zhongfei had told him about in online literature.

The so-called first subscription refers to the subscription data within the first day of the updated first paid chapter, which is also the 24-hour follow-up subscription data.

Generally speaking!

Subsequent subscription data will be lower than the first subscription data, because in online literature, no book can make more and more readers have to subscribe to read, and more and more readers will give up reading. Therefore, the subsequent subscription data will be lower than the first-day subscription data of the first chapter, but the subsequent accumulated average chapter subscription data will definitely be higher than the first subscription data.

Wang Qian thought to himself and refreshed the background again.

Once again, the data showed a dramatic change.

The subscription data jumped directly from more than 500,000 to more than 1.03 million! In less than two minutes, the first order data soared to more than 1 million.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The phone vibrated.

It’s Xu Zhongfei calling again.

Wang Qian took a look, picked up the phone and answered it: "Lao Xu!"

Xu Zhongfei said excitedly: "Professor Wang, it seems that I still underestimated your appeal. Your subscriptions exceeded my expectations."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "It's OK."

Xu Zhongfei: "Then we will start operating your subscription results?"

Wang Qian did not refuse. He left professional matters to professionals. He only needed to do his own thing, which was to write good works. He said, "Okay."

Xu Zhongfei: "Well, Professor Wang, please wait for about ten minutes and publish the subscription data on the Weibo platform for everyone to see. We will start building momentum here first!"

Wang Qian: "Okay, I'll send it out later."

Xu Zhongfei said embarrassedly: "Professor Wang, thank you for your help!"

Xu Zhongfei felt that it was a waste of time for a writer and artist like Wang Qian to do these mundane things!

Wang Qian smiled and said, "Lao Xu, you work for me. You've worked hard, so it's my duty to cooperate with you! Do your best. What do you think of the game planner?"

Xu Zhongfei relaxed his tone and said with a smile: "I have an idea for the game planner, but I haven't started writing yet. I will think about it carefully after the promotion of Qianqian's collection is over."

Wang Qian: "Come on, go ahead!"

Hang up the phone.

Wang Qian turned his attention back to his own affairs!

In my mind, many clear text images of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms appeared again.

but!

Wang Qian temporarily suppressed his restless hands and did not start fighting immediately.

He wanted to cooperate with Xu Zhongfei's publicity first and then post a Weibo message in ten minutes!

At the same time, I also accumulate more desire to write, and I will start writing in one go until lunch.

but……

At this time.

There was the sound of a door opening outside.

Wang Qian looked at it in surprise.

Qin Xuerong is back so soon?

It will take a long time to send Liu Shengnan to the airport, right? Wang Qian did not stand up. He had already regarded Qin Xuerong as his own family, and there was no need to greet him as a guest. He looked at the Weibo page and searched for Jia Fuqing, Zhang Yue and others. He found that these people had become very quiet. Since the release of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they have remained silent. It seems that they are ready to go, but it seems that they have given up the argument?

Wang Qian is curious!

A pair of slender, white hands reached out from behind and hugged Wang Qian's neck.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Wang Qian was stunned for a moment, then he heard the slightly heavy breathing sound.

this……

Not Qin Xuerong? Then don't look!

Wang Qian looked at his hands and heard the breathing sound, and he knew who it was.

It must be Qin Xuehong!

"Didn't you go to see Shengnan off?"

Wang Qian asked.

Qin Xuehong leaned her head on Wang Qian's shoulder and whispered in Wang Qian's ear: "No, I said I had something important to tell you, so I asked Xuerong to take it."

Wang Qian smiled and said, "What's the important thing?"

Qin Xuehong smiled and said, "See you! I really want to see you."

Wang Qian smiled even more brightly.

The two of them didn't say any more nonsense. They knew each other's feelings and time was very tight! They immediately started interacting in the study!

…

And at this time.

Qianqian Jingting's official website released a notice: "Qianqian Collection has officially started charging for reading. Next, we will be committed to discovering and supporting excellent works and creating more good content for readers. At present, we only have one paid work, which is Professor Wang's Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

“We welcome more content creators to create content in Qianqianwenji…”

Said a lot!

The general idea is to announce the reform of Qianqian Collection, as well as its own advantages, etc. Many authors who come to Qianqian Collection are very excited at this moment.

Because, everyone came here for the huge base of paying users of Qianqian Jingting, and everyone is looking forward to the day when Qianqian Wenji will be officially commercialized! Now...

here we go.

All authors who create works on Qianqianwenji, as well as almost all other online writers, are paying attention to Qianqianwenji and whether the data of Romance of the Three Kingdoms will be released. What kind of results can it achieve? This point...

It is very important to everyone!

Only by knowing the number of paying users of Qianqian Wenji will everyone have expectations for its own development and it will be attractive to those already famous online writers.

All online writers hope to have a platform that can compete with Teng Wen and give them an option.

However, the official Qianqian Wenji did not immediately release the data of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Many people were slightly disappointed.

Xu Zhongfei waited for ten minutes and found that Wang Qian had not yet made the data public on Weibo. He became a little anxious because this was the time when everyone was most looking forward to it. Making it public would attract the attention of many people in the industry and make it easier for Qianqian Wenji to poach writers from other platforms.

However, how can we recruit people without specific performance data?

Waited another ten minutes.

Xu Zhongfei held back, thinking that Wang Qian might be obsessed with creation.

Waited another twenty minutes...

There is no activity on Wang Qian’s Weibo yet.

Xu Zhongfei still held back and refreshed the page of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel. Seeing that Wang Qian had not updated the second paid chapter, he should still be writing it? He continued to wait for another twenty minutes!

Almost an hour had passed since the agreed short time.

Xu Zhongfei picked up the phone and called Wang Qian.

but……

No one answered! After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhongfei could only wait helplessly.

…

Wang Qian didn't expect this.

Qin Xuehong is so capable this time.

The interaction lasted for more than an hour.

He almost couldn't stand it.

but……

Qin Xuehong still refused to admit defeat, of course it was only words. His body could no longer move, while Wang Qian could still move. However, since the other party did not move, there was no need for him to continue.

After all, it is an interactive game, so of course it will be fun only if everyone moves around.

Wang Qian took her to take a bath.

Checking the time...

Liu Shengnan has already boarded the plane.

Qin Xuerong should be back soon.

Qin Xuehong was obviously very good at time management. She knew what to do without even looking at the watch. She hurriedly finished her shower and left with her hair still wet. However, she was still a little unsteady on her feet. She held onto the elevator and said to Wang Qian, "I'll squeeze you dry next time!"

Wang Qian smiled and said, “You can’t!”

Qin Xuehong smiled and said, "You will know next time you try it. However, next time you have to write two calligraphy works for me, "Xia Ke Xing" and "Lin Jiang Xian". I want both."

Wang Qian didn't tolerate this problem, and said directly: "It depends on my mood!"

Qin Xuehong also knew when to advance and retreat, so she slowed down her tone and said, "Okay, let's talk when you feel better. I'm leaving first. I'll come to have dinner with you and Xuerong in the evening."

After saying that, Qin Xuehong took the elevator and left.

Wang Qian returned to the small study room and wiped and washed the tables and chairs. Fortunately, the mechanical keyboard was waterproof and could be rinsed! After cleaning up.

Wang Qian just remembered about posting on Weibo.

However, an hour and a half has already passed.

Wang Qian refreshed the background data.

I saw that the subscription data for the only paid chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms had reached more than five million.

It's a long list of numbers, and it looks shocking.

Even if the charge for a chapter is only 20 cents, with more than 5 million subscribers, the revenue would be millions.

Only a few thousand words were updated, but the income from a single chapter was over a million...

If this gets out, I'm afraid the entire field of online literature will be shaken.

Wang Qian immediately posted the backstage screenshot on Weibo.

Please subscribe and support...

Thank you all…
