Love is like a dream

After more than a month of serialization, my novel quickly climbed to the overall popularity ranking of the website, from No. 30 at the beginning to more than a dozen, and then entered the top ten, and a month later it actually entered the top three. What a surprise, I have written some random essays or short stories on other websites before. This is the first time I have formally tried a novel, and I did not expect such a good response.

On the morning of the 20th, Miss Su called me to the office as soon as I arrived at the company.

Me: "What's the matter?"

Miss Su: "Can I call you to my office if I have nothing to do?"

Me: "what's the matter?"

Miss Su: "You speak like her now."

Me: "Ah, is there?"

Miss Su: "Yes, there is a coquettish tone..."

Me: "Haha, you really learned like that."

Miss Su: "Like her?"

Me: "Well."

Miss Su: "Is that how you act like a baby in her arms?"

Me: "Ignore you, let's get down to business."

Ms. Su: "I think you should charge for the book you wrote."

I was a little surprised: "Charge?"

Ms. Su: "Yes, the grades are so good, wouldn't it be a waste not to charge?"

Me: "Here... I will take the contribution fee of my website, so that other colleagues will have opinions, and the impact will not be good?"

Ms. Su: "Why do you think so? Although you use your own platform to display your works, if you charge for it, it is also charged through our platform. You get a share of income like other authors, and the company will also earn It’s a win-win thing if you get money, and I thought, since this book has such a market, it should be authorized by channels, and it can even be recommended to film and television companies or adapted into games. With such a successful work, for It is also a very powerful positive publicity for our website."

Me: "You are right, it seems that my thinking is too narrow."

Ms. Su: "It's not that you are narrow-minded. I know your worries. I will send an email. If you are interested, you are welcome to publish your works on this website. You will have the same rights as other authors to display, promote and share your works. For the opportunity to get royalties, the premise is that it must be created in spare time, and you cannot use working hours to create personal works.”

Me: "Is this good? If there is a conflict because of the amount of promotion or the distribution of income..."

Ms. Su: "There is a contract, and it is treated equally with other contracted authors on the website. There is nothing to cause conflicts. If you violate the rules, you will terminate the contract. You must also rely on your strength to make money."

Me: "Okay, let me see if there is any suitable point in the latest chapter, and arrange it in the next few days."

Ms. Su: "I didn't expect your works to be so popular. I should have encouraged you to write books earlier."

Me: "I'm so busy at work, encouragement is useless. Now I have to write until late at night after get off work. It's hard work. Maybe one day I feel tired and stop writing."

Miss Su: "You won't, I know you also have the dream of writing."

Me: "Okay, I'll try."

When I got home at night, I saw a news about Xiaozhen. Her flat tire called her friend to come over to help. The reporter's own narration was so funny.

Me: Xiao Zhen, you were caught by the reporter because of the flat tire on your car?

Xiao Zhen: Did you see the news?The reporter is so hateful, I didn't even notice that I was followed!

Me: Haha, this gossip reporter is so cute.

Xiao Zhen: Hey, I was secretly photographed and you said that the reporter is cute!

Me: Yes, it’s so apt to describe your lively appearance!Coupled with your actions, it is more appropriate!People also said that it's a pity that you don't do much acting with such rich movements and expressions.

Xiao Zhen: I hate Jasmine, I'm already very lively, okay...

Me: However, these are not bright spots, the bigger bright spot is...

Xiao Zhen: What?Is my plain makeup that the reporter has been emphasizing?

Me: No, I was talking about the last sentence, why didn’t she call her close friend Miss Z to rescue her, she just went home like this, and even added a picture of you and her on the video...

Xiao Zhen: Damn...

Me: Damn what?

Xiao Zhen: I always talk about this.

Me: Hmph, the identities of Z and your honey friend are known all over the world, who made you have an ambiguous relationship with her...

Xiao Zhen: If you say it again, I will be angry.

Me: If I get angry, I will eat you.

Xiao Zhen: When I go to Beijing, I will see who eats who!

Me: Wow, so scary, you are a big monster, 8888.

Early the next morning, I saw a news notice that on the morning of the 25th, there will be another song in the music radio station's global song album. The record company made a new album for Xiaozhen this time. Carefully, there are various means of publicity, the best thing is to maintain a sense of mystery. At first, they only released a promotional video for the new album, which only had a short scene and a prelude, and later released a pre-release demo of the clip, and then a song The first release of the new songs in the album, but not to mention, doing so has indeed aroused the expectations and curiosity of more fans.

Unfortunately, the 25th is a working day, and it is still a relatively busy Monday. As the end of the year approaches, the website is still under great pressure to generate revenue. Although everyone has been working hard, it is a newly established website after all, and it is the mainstream of several monopolistic positions. One can imagine the difficulty of surviving in the cracks between the website and many emerging websites. It takes time and accumulation to break even and make a profit.

Until now, although the gap between investment and income has been narrowing, it is still in the investment stage, and there is still a certain gap from the balance of payments. The editors are busy every day to discover more authors and excellent works. I also While keeping an eye on various data reports to analyze the progress of the website in all aspects, at the same time, I am also actively looking for some well-known authors who are interested in signing contracts with other sites. Although the requirements of these authors are relatively high, I Still feel it's worth the effort.

The main reason is that these well-known authors have a stable readership and good influence, which can guarantee the creation of works that can be used to realize economic benefits immediately, and can also attract more authors to publish and sign works. The other is to urge the operation team To open up more channels, the major branches of the major mainstream channels have basically been developed, and the accumulation of books is also increasing. Gradually, it is also reflected in the income, which is worthy of comfort.

After a busy day, it was finally evening. When I got home, I immediately turned on the computer. Fortunately, this song can already be heard on the Internet. This song is also my favorite song in the new album besides the title song. Yes, it is still the sad love song that Xiao Zhen is best at and the most classic interpretation. The melody is beautiful, the singing is touching, and the lyrics are also great.

Me: I'm listening to your new song, I like it so much, I want to cry when I hear it.A smile from a distance creates turbulent waves, and smells the tears boiling... It seems to be talking about my experience with you.
