To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 873 Internet Author Inspiration Class (Ask for a monthly pass!)

Pei Qian took a sip of tea and continued, "We only offer buyout contracts to the top authors on our website."

"Because the terms of the buyout contract are relatively good, it is equivalent to a kind of welfare for the authors of this site. We will not provide this kind of benefits until the authors of external sites prove their strength."

"Buy out the whole book. The word count in the book is between 10 and 50 words, but no more than 50 words."

"The buyout price is calculated based on three times the income of the author's previous old book. For example, the original subscription income of the author's old book is about 3 words per thousand words, so the buyout manuscript fee for this buyout book is 1000 words per thousand words."

"There is no minimum daily update requirement, write as much as you like, slow work and meticulous work."

"Moreover, completely original works are not accepted, only customized texts can be written, and we provide authors with IP."

After Pei Qian finished speaking, he couldn't help but be impressed by his intelligence.

Buyout + customization, doesn't this wipe out all the great writers on the Chinese website and write them all?

Those who often read online articles know that buyout + customization is the easiest mode to produce garbage works.

Because if you want to create good works, the first prerequisite is freedom.

Only when the author of web articles can freely write about the subjects he is good at, and has a strong driving force, can he write excellent works.

An author who is good at writing sci-fi themes, if he is forced to write romance, what he writes must be terrible.

And customized works are often works that Party A has certain commercial publicity needs. At this time, the author's creative ideas will definitely be restricted by Party A.

In order to make the work meet its own requirements, Party A will definitely put forward some suggestions for changes, or intervene in the author's outline; however, the author cannot completely follow his own ideas to create, and will also have a foolish attitude, and it is impossible to come up with 120% of the creation state.

Because the first target of a customized article is Party A rather than readers, there is a high probability that it will not be liked by readers.

On the basis of the limited subject matter of customized articles, coupled with buyouts, it will further dampen the author's enthusiasm for creation.

Because buyout means guaranteeing income from drought and flood, and the asking price for buyout of custom-made texts is very high, the author only needs to use a little brains to write the work to about 60 points and complete Party A’s request to fool around. There is no need to work hard to write to 80 points or even 100 points .

Or even if he wanted to write 100 points, he couldn't do it at all due to reasons such as insufficient creative freedom and poor subject matter.

Therefore, Pei Qian released this custom + buyout trump card to "buy off" all the top authors on the Chinese website.

For these top authors, whether it is writing subscriptions or buying out, in the final analysis, it is to make money. How to choose specifically depends on which one makes more money.

It’s easier to write custom buyouts, and the manuscript fee based on the number of words is almost doubled. You can get as much money as before if you write casually every day, so why not do it?

If the previous manuscript fee was 1000 per thousand words, you can earn 30 yuan per month for writing 30 words; according to the buyout, the manuscript fee will be tripled directly, and you can earn the same amount of money if you write 10 words per month.

But the workload is greatly reduced!

Although this buyout system is voluntary and not mandatory, Pei Qian feels that no one can refuse such a superior condition, right?

Who can't get along with money?

In this way, the author's income will not be affected, but if the website loses money, Pei Qian's goal will be achieved.

Ma Yiqun obviously knew this truth very well, so his expression was a little shocked, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Mr. Pei could sell in his gourd.

Although it is up to the author to decide whether to write a buyout or not, at the current price, only a few of these top authors will refuse.

It is of course a good thing for the author, but for the website...it seems to have a great risk, and one who does not pay attention will cause great losses.

Ma Yiqun thought for a moment and asked, "Boss Pei, are there any other restrictions on this buyout system? What if no one reads the novel written by the author? Can you ask him to finish the book ahead of time, or force it to be revised?"

Pei Qian shook his head: "There are no other restrictions, but there is a requirement for the number of words, that is, each book must write 10 to 50 words, and if it exceeds 50 words, no money will be given, and another book must be opened."

The reason why the word count requirement is set is mainly to create difficulties for these authors who are accustomed to writing long articles.

The current standard word count for online novels is 200 to 300 million words, and there are plenty of people who write 500 million or more.

Therefore, when the authors first set the outline of the story and made the outline, they got used to setting the full text to more than 200 million words. The great writers can write well, and they must be more familiar with it.

At this time, let them compress the story to 10 to 50 words and write short stories, which is a creative method they are not very good at.

As for readers of online novels, most of them also like to read long works, and are not very interested in short stories.

In this way, the possibility of making money from novels is further reduced.

Ma Yiqun asked again: "Then if the author even opens a few books and writes rubbish, can we terminate the buyout contract?"

Pei Qian originally wanted to say no, but felt that it was unreasonable. An author has been producing rubbish, but the website has been paying him a very high fee for writing buyouts. This is a bit too unreasonable and unreasonable.

So, he thought about it and adopted a relatively compromised plan: "If the grades of two buyout books in a row are poor, let him go back and write the share. After the share is written, he can continue to write buyout."

In this way, authors who want to dawdle can continue to write buyout scams after writing a book, and the rules of the website will not write "come and cheat me" and "people are stupid and have a lot of money" on their faces. up.

A group of horses asked again: "Only write custom texts, what kind of custom texts are they?"

"Can I pick up a custom letter from an outside company?"

Pei Qian shook his head immediately: "No! You can only write about the IP we own in Tenda."

A group of horses: "..."

If you can accept customized documents from outside companies, then this kind of buyout may still be profitable.

For example, some popular online games need to be promoted, so Mayiyi can recommend excellent authors under his command, let the company pay, and let the authors write buyouts, so that Chinese.com can earn a fortune from advertising fee.

But Mr. Pei denied the possibility of making money on the spot!

According to Mr. Pei, the restrictions on the subject matter of this customized article are quite strange.

It cannot be purely original, nor can it be customized by an outside company, only Tenda’s IP can be written.

What are the IPs of Tenda?

A group of horses took a brief inventory, which includes various games that Tenda has developed so far, such as "Return to the Shore", "Sea Fortress", "Struggle" and so on;

Including the short videos and movies already shot by Feihuang Studio, such as "A Better Tomorrow" and "Mission and Choice" which are currently being filmed;

Including various purchased IP images in the GOG game, as well as original hero characters such as Modeste and Ruan;

Including various superhero characters from Hurricane Comics works purchased;

In addition, some popular novels on the Chinese Internet and other miscellaneous things are also considered as Tenda's IP.

It seems that there are indeed a lot, but what is the point of writing customization for these things?

The only role may be to enrich the story reserves of the entire "Tengda Universe", but many of these IPs do not need to be enriched at all: the content to be expressed in the original work has been expressed very clearly and thoroughly, so why continue?

Can these authors write stories comparable to the original works if they write seriously?Ma Yiqun didn't think so at all, because many original works were written by Mr. Pei himself, and these authors couldn't keep up with the flattery.

What's more, compared to the money spent to buy out these works, it is still a loss.

Because this time the buyout strategy is not only for one author, but for all the leading authors on the Chinese website.If these authors are determined to fool and cheat money, it will be a waste of money for the Chinese website, and it will be difficult to guarantee the interests of the website.

A group of horses considered for a long time, but they were still full of confusion about Mr. Pei's decision this time.

But seeing Mr. Pei's confident expression, Ma Yiqun didn't say much.

After all, Mr. Pei's actions are always so unpredictable, and no matter how outrageous and strange the decisions Mr. Pei made at the beginning, they all proved to have other meanings and were a great success in the end.

Therefore, a group of horses nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I will arrange it soon."

Pei Qian was very satisfied with his attitude: "Well, very good."

"In addition, there is one more thing about the author's study class."

"This study class has been running for a while, and it's time to make some improvements."

"My idea is to create another 'inspiration class' on the basis of this study class."

"Gather those top authors, especially those who have decided to write custom buyout articles, and participate in this inspiration class."

"In the inspiration class, we prepare a large number of novels, movies, and games for them, and let them collect materials from them every day, then exchange writing skills and knowledge, and recommend each other games or movies that they think are fun."

"For this inspiration class, there must be some initial investment. For example, the monitor must be large, the earphones must be good, and the seat must be comfortable. We will directly buy genuine, ultra-high-definition Blu-ray discs for various resources in it. To provide everyone with the best viewing experience.”

"In the previous study class, the authors could only code words and look up information, and could not do anything else; but in this inspiration class, the authors can only do things related to collecting inspiration. The 8 hours in the inspiration class every day can only Take 2 hours to code."

A group of horses were stunned again: "Ah? This..."

What kind of inspiration class is this? It is obviously a class for enjoying and fishing!

A very important reason for the success of the previous study class is that through the "small black room" method, these authors with relatively poor self-control ability can concentrate on creating in this environment, and thus many excellent works were born.

But now, everyone can watch movies if they want to watch movies, and play games if they want to play games. Not only are they not locked in a dark room, but in turn, they are limited in their coding time, up to 2 hours a day?

Isn't this the same as encouraging them to fish?

What's more, Boss Pei also said that this inspiration class is mainly for authors who have decided to write custom buyout articles. These people's update requirements are already very low, and the enthusiasm for writing is probably not very high. Such a comfortable and enjoyable environment...

I'm afraid this group of people will be abolished!

They are all the top authors and mainstays of the Chinese website. If they are abolished, it will not only affect the income of the website, but also affect the number of excellent works on the website and readers' evaluation of the website...

A group of horses hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Pei, isn't this environment too loose?"

Pei Qian chuckled: "Just relax!"

"For these top authors, they don't lack skills and strength. If they want to go further, they need more inspiration, slow down, and work slowly!"

"Many novels now have millions of words and are updated every day by thousands or more than 1. In the face of such a huge update pressure, how can it be possible to write high-quality works?"

"Tell them to slow down and polish!"

A group of horses opened their mouths, wanting to say something more, but they couldn't say anything in the end.

Obviously, Mr. Pei's idea seems a bit unrealistic.This is an online novel, it's just for entertainment, so what if you slow down and polish it?Can you still polish a famous book?

However, Mr. Pei's idea cannot be said to be wrong. It can only be said that Mr. Pei has a higher level and a bigger goal than himself.

A group of horses hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, Mr. Pei, I will arrange it now!"
