The day after the recording of "Rising Star Show", Lu Chen returned to Jinling Film and Television City and re-immersed himself in the intense shooting process of "Full House of Romance".
Because this TV series involved many parties, and all of them were powerful, the shooting went very smoothly, whether in South Korea or China. If there were no twists and turns, it could be seen to the TV audience in the summer.
For Lu Chen, the shooting work was busy, but his big IP plan was equally important. Therefore, he took a lot of time every day to write, and then insisted on uploading to Waves for publication.
It was just that this new book with the pen name "Remembering Modern and Ancient" was not very good. Strictly speaking, it was a flop!
On the evening of May 27th, Lu Chen uploaded the book. Until June 5th, a total of 10 days, he uploaded a total of 60,000 words of text content. He updated two chapters of 6,000 words a day.
According to the number of updates, Lu Chen's new book fully met the requirements of online literature. Usually, the author would not update too much during the period of a new book, and would only increase the number of words after it was put on sale.
But the data of the new book was really terrible.
Hits: 420, Recommendations: 79, Favorites: 22, Comments: 58!
Waves was one of the largest original literature websites in China. Because the associated blog was conducive to publicity, there were many authors stationed on the website. Among them, there were many great authors who had published several popular works that were made into big IP.
The website claimed to have 10 + authors, but the real number was certainly not that many. Even so, the competition was extremely fierce, and it was very difficult for new authors to stand out.
However, the website had a recommendation mechanism, and the signed works would be recommended. As long as the quality of the book was not too bad, it was still possible to stand out.
The editor in the website would also pay attention to new books. A new book would be read by the editor when it had 10,000 to 20,000 words, and when it reached 50,000 to 60,000 words, it would be reviewed again. If the requirements were met, a signing letter would be sent to the author, and the author would enter the formal signing process.
Lu Chen's new book didn't receive any replies from the site when it was twenty to thirty thousand words. Now that it has reached sixty thousand words, there was still no news. According to the words of the circle, it was cut by the editor. There was no future and no hope.
During the period when Lu Chen posted on the Internet, he also opened a QQ account and joined several new authors' groups. He had a preliminary understanding of the online literature circle and knew a lot of rules of online literature.
This made Lu Chen rather depressed.
His ambitious big IP plan had only just begun, but he had already suffered a heavy blow.
Let's not talk about the dismal click-through statistics. Out of the 58 comments, 49 of them were from other authors advertising and recommending their books to each other. Only 9 comments were from real readers, and most of them were negative.
"What kind of lousy book is this? It's boring to read. I'm leaving."
"The author's writing style is not bad. It's a pity that the plot is not attractive enough, and the beginning is abusive."
"I felt bored after reading a few chapters, so I gave up."
"I suggest that the author read more books by the gods and learn from them!"
"F * ck me …"
Only one reader gave a positive review. "It's a good novel. It feels like a traditional wuxia novel, right? Nowadays, there really aren't many people who write such books. If the author has an idea, I'll support him! "
This reader supported Lu Chen by tipping him 100 Book Coins.
"How much is 100 book coins?"
Chen Fei 'er asked curiously.
This Heavenly Queen of the music industry was lying on her bed in the hotel room, browsing through the comments of Lu Chen's new book on her laptop.
She had no interest in online literature. In the past, she had only watched a few movies and TV series that were adapted from popular novels. Therefore, she basically had no understanding of online literature.
It was only after Lu Chen used a sockpuppet to open a book on Waves that her interest was piqued.
Actually, Chen Fei 'er did not like the genre of novels written by Lu Chen. She liked novels that were about emotions, and she had no love for such things.
If it wasn't for Lu Chen's new work, she wouldn't even bother to pay attention to it!
"Cough!"
Lu Chen coughed and explained, "It's equivalent to 1 RMB."
"1 RMB?"
Chen Fei 'er's pretty eyes widened, and her face was filled with disbelief. "I thought it was 100 RMB. In other words, you spent so much time writing 60,000 words and only earned 1 RMB?"
"Cough, cough!"
Lu Chen coughed even more violently. "Actually, according to the rules of the website, I can only get 50 RMB."
"Hehehe ~"
Chen Fei 'er finally could not hold it in anymore. She patted the blanket and laughed hysterically. "50 RMB …"
Just two days ago, she and Lu Chen had taken out a total of more than 10 million RMB to give to their fans.
Now, Lu Chen had worked so hard and spent so much of their romantic time, but he only earned 50 RMB.
She was not mocking him, but she really could not hold it in!
While laughing, Chen Fei 'er said, "Who told you to not use your own name and use that newbie sockpuppet? Now you've tasted the bitterness, haven't you? Serves you right for what you did! "
If Lu Chen had used his own name to start a new book, he could have casually announced it on his blog, and it was guaranteed that countless fans would come to support him. The gifts would definitely be like a downpour, and it would definitely not be such a miserable situation.
Therefore, Chen Fei 'er could not understand Lu Chen's behavior. In her opinion, the direction of Lu Chen's big IP plan was right, but why not use the popularity resources that he had accumulated?
There was a ready-made shortcut, but he chose to climb a cliff. Therefore, she did not sympathize at all!
In fact, the results of the new book were so bad that Lu Chen also felt a little regretful and thought about republishing it under his own name.
However, the original intention of using a newbie sockpuppet to start a book was to first test whether the theme of Wuxia could be liked by the readers, rather than relying on fans to accumulate popularity and attention.
There was a big difference between the two. If he could make the book popular using a newbie sockpuppet, the data would be real and reliable, and then the big Wuxia IP plan would really have a bright future!
Moreover, Lu Chen also wanted to keep a low profile.
In the end, the new book was a flop.
He stubbornly said, "Let's do it. I have saved a lot of manuscripts. No matter what, I have to finish this book first. If I can't do it, then I will do it myself!"
This was the last choice, and it felt a little embarrassing!
Chen Fei 'er said coquettishly, "Then when are you going to stop writing? You haven't been with me recently, and only care about playing computer games. Be careful that I kick you out and find someone else! "
Lu Chen pressed her under his body and said fiercely, "Stop dreaming. Don't even think about getting out of my palm in this life!"
Chen Fei 'er suddenly cried out in alarm, "Help …"
However, her mouth was immediately gagged, and she could only let out soft moans from her nose.
The atmosphere in the room became incomparably charming.
The laptop was thrown aside, and on the display area, the four big black characters of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" were particularly eye-catching.
