If writers earn a lot from writing novels on Qidian under pseudonyms, they will be more motivated to update.
As the update speed of Qidian increases, it will inevitably affect the update speed of the main site novels.
There are quite a few writers who use pseudonyms to write books on Qidian, especially several pillar writers of several websites. How could the Qidian editors not notice it? After all, every writer has his or her own style, and everyone just pretends not to notice it.
When a website has more and more novel updates but the updates are reduced or even stopped altogether, the owners of other websites will become uneasy.
There is no impenetrable wall. If you want to know, it is just a matter of time.
When people in the industry learned that their big-name writers had used pseudonyms on Qidian, they were furious.
He directly said that Qidian’s actions were not decent.
In Lanjie Novel Network,
Editor-in-chief Zhou Jiaming was holding a meeting with his editors, and his brows were so furrowed that they could kill a fly.
The topic of this meeting was the writer's sudden stop of updates.
Zhou Jiaming, the editor-in-chief of Lanjie Novel Network, is the one who switched to Qidian with his authors.
"Editor Zhou, I have three successful authors whose novels have all stopped updating, and the reason they all gave is that they are sick."
The editor was frustrated when he saw the writers giving him excuses one after another like nesting dolls.
Let's find a reason to be more careful.
No one believes this reason.
"Who says it's not true? Two of my writers who have achieved good results are also like this. Although they haven't stopped updating, they can still update three or five chapters a week. It's considered a lot. How is this different from stopping updating?"
"There are only three or two of you. I have less than five authors who have produced any results. Almost everyone only updates a chapter every two or three days. Readers are already dissatisfied."
"If this continues, all the readers of the website will leave."
Hearing that one novel writer after another had stopped updating his works, Zhou Jiaming looked at the document in his hand, which showed the total number of writers who had stopped updating their works, and his veins were throbbing.
Zhou Jiaming has been paying attention to Qidian since its last turnaround.
Zhou Jiaming also guessed why these writers suddenly stopped updating.
What other reason could there be other than going to Qidian to open a vest account?
Zhou Jiaming flung the documents on the conference table and frowned, "What do you think?"
"Tell me everything."
Although no one said that these writers had all started using pseudonyms, this was the meaning behind their words.
After hearing what Chief Editor Zhou said, everyone looked at each other, and one of the veteran editors stepped forward.
"It's become common practice in the industry to offer writers a base salary. If we want to retain writers, the first thing we need to do is offer them a base salary. Otherwise, the number of writers on our website will only decrease."
As soon as these words were spoken, the editors immediately echoed them.
"Who said it wasn't? Editor Zhou, have a talk with the editor-in-chief. We can't delay this any longer, or our website will be shut down sooner or later."
This statement is very detrimental to morale, but it is also the truth.
"Qidian is now the trendsetter for online novels. Everyone in the industry is following Qidian's lead and offering authors a basic salary."
"If our authors no longer have a basic salary, we really won't be able to survive on our website."
"Yes, Qidian has now firmly established itself as the leading company. There's no need for the editor-in-chief to go against Qidian."
At this point, everyone perked up and chimed in, "Several of my new authors are following the trend of writing novels on the Qidian list, and they're doing quite well now."
"My story is the same. A new author who used to write terrible stories has learned his lesson and has directly followed the trend of novels on Qidian and wrote a book. The results are pretty good."
Can he decide on the basic salary? He had already mentioned it to the editor-in-chief, but the boss is a bit stubborn. He only takes in money but never spends it. He doesn't allocate any funds at all. How can he implement the basic salary without money?
Isn’t he worried? He is worried too.
The Liunian Novel Network is very smart.
When Qidian secured its leading position, the first thing it did was to implement a basic salary for writers, which was 100 yuan more than Qidian's.
Looking back now, I realize that Yao Yuncai was very far-sighted.
In fact, when Yao Yuncai proposed to give writers a basic salary, many people thought it was unnecessary. After all, no one was as wealthy as Qi Dian.
There is no precedent for giving writers a base salary, and isn't that just throwing money away?
Even the Internet boss disagreed because he was worried about the money.
Is Yao Yuncai the kind of person who gives up when faced with obstacles? With her persistence, this matter was finally implemented.
As soon as the announcement of the basic salary came out, it attracted a wave of writers to the website.
This prevented the matter from dying halfway.
In addition to this matter, when countless new novels appeared on Qidian, Yao Yuncai immediately held a meeting. The theme of the meeting was to let his editors call on the writers of the website to follow the trend of Qidian's popular themes and start new books.
Although some writers from Liunian.com have gone to Qidian to write new books under pseudonyms, they have not stopped updating their works for the time being in order to get their basic salary.
Among all these novel websites, the worst one is Lanjie Novel Website.
After recruiting so many people, Lanjie Novel Network thought it could regroup. However, after the major change, not only did it fail to achieve glory again, but it fell to the bottom of the industry.
The mastermind behind the last poaching incident by Qidian was Ji Guang.
But what he never expected was that he ended up losing both the wife and the army. Not only did he spend a huge amount of money, but the website continued to perform poorly.
It was because so much money was spent at one time last time that the issue of writers' basic salary was delayed again and again.
…
These days, Xiaojiu and Mao Qing are the star figures of Qiidian, and they are the ones being discussed in all the writer groups.
Ever since Qidian was hacked last time, the group of writers officially formed by Qidian has been officially disbanded, and now the contracted writers are composed of editors.
All the writers in each editor's hands are gathered together so that they can be notified if anything happens.
Every editor will recommend novel types to the authors they work with in the group once in a while.
If we were to ask which two groups are the most lively these days, they would of course be Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhuang Yuan and his good friend Shi Yu, who has been promoted to Editor-in-Chief.
If we were to ask which editor has the most writers, whose writers have the best results, and who has the least worries about writers, it would definitely be the group of former editors under Zhuang Yuan.
If you ask which editor has the fewest writers, it would be Shi Yu.
Due to internal reorganization of Qidian, the editor-in-chief will manage the editorial department, and all editors above the editor-in-chief will no longer have contracted writers.
But this does not apply to writers who have already signed contracts.
It was also because of the incident at Qidian; the internal editors were integrated, and the male and female channels were no longer divided. It was also a coincidence that Shi Yu had never planned to leave Qidian. The book "I Became the Crown Princess" was the novel he signed, and Xiaojiu was also a writer he was optimistic about.
Shi Yu was sitting in the editor-in-chief's office at this time, lurking in his own group of authors and watching these writers chat.
