"Third Young Master, I heard that White God is coming to the training class?"
"F * ck, he's going to train?"
"Uh, I think he's going to be a lecturer."
"That's more like it."
In the Qidian writers group, a group of Qidian gurus were discussing.
Although Chen Yu had stopped writing in recent years, the title of the number one web novel author was undoubtedly Chen Yu.
He was the first author to create an online game genre.
He was the first author to create the Chaos Genre.
He was the first author to create the Chinese Martial Arts genre.
It could be said that as long as it was a work of Number One White in the World, he was the founder of a genre.
In the online literature world.
Even if there was only one type of Founding Ancestor, he was already an extremely powerful figure.
Not to mention, he had created three genres.
However, there was something else that was even more amazing. This legendary number one white in the world had another identity.
"Tomato, I heard that White God is the big boss of Qidian?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't know if it's true."
"It seems to be true, but White God has never admitted it. However, the editors didn't deny it either. "
"F * ck, is he really the big boss? Then I have to go to the training class. "
"I'm going too."
The gurus were not very interested in the training class.
After all, they were already very famous. Even if they went to the training class, they would be giving lectures to others.
However, this time, White God was there. It was a different story.
On one hand, they wanted to meet White God in real life. On the other hand, they wanted to confirm whether White God was the big boss.
A few days later, the fourth Qidian training class began.
The location of the training class was still in Shanghai.
More than 50 trainees from the training class were very excited to participate in this training class.
The reason why they were excited.
Because this training class was said to be a chapter writing class.
Those who participated in this class had their ability to write chapters increased by 300%.
Many of the authors who participated in the class became future gurus.
Of course, there was also the even more exciting super gurus of online literature, Number One White in the World, who participated.
However, White God did not appear on the first day.
According to the training class, the first day was mainly about the trend of online literature and various kinds of data.
At 9 o 'clock the next morning, the "Number One White in the World" table was placed on the podium.
"Brothers, White God is coming to teach."
"Wahahaha, White God is awesome. This guy never appeared for a whole year. I thought he was dead."
"Hurry up and post more pictures. Let's see what God White looks like."
In the YY author group, many people were looking forward to it.
Similarly, countless readers and fans also wanted to meet their idols.
"Everyone, I believe that everyone is looking forward to today's class. So, I won't beat around the bush. Let's welcome the world's number one white."
At the invitation of Editor-in-Chief 314, Chen Yu came to the guest podium.
"Holy shit, White God came out."
"White God is so young?"
"So this is White God."
Thunderous applause came from the audience.
Although everyone was a little surprised at the age of the World's Number One White, they didn't feel anything after a while.
The online literature author community was a very young group to begin with.
Let's not talk about Whitest in the world. Even the famous Childe Mastiff and Tomato were only in their twenties. They were still very young.
"Hello everyone, I am the world's number one white."
Chen Yu smiled slightly and greeted everyone.
At the same time, he also saw Childe Mastiff and Tomato below the stage … This gave Chen Yu a very strange feeling.
In his previous life, he was only an ordinary author. He didn't even earn much from his royalties. He didn't expect that he would be standing on the stage as a lecturer for Childe Mastiff.
However, although Chen Yu thought so, the authors below the stage didn't think so.
Immediately, an author said loudly, "White God, I grew up reading your books."
This sentence caused an uproar in the audience.
Although this sentence was said as a joke, to be honest, the authors had read a lot of Chen Yu's books.
Many of them even embarked on the path of writing because of Chen Yu.
At the same time, many authors below the stage were still writing about virtual online games, primeval times, and martial arts.
It could be said that without Chen Yu, they wouldn't be sitting here.
"White God, I've been reading your books since I was young."
"White God, my wife and I grew up reading your books."
"White God …"
If it weren't for the editor-in-chief maintaining order, the class wouldn't have started today.
"Everyone, okay, okay, calm down, calm down. White God is going to teach everyone today."
"The class that White God is going to share today is definitely not available in the outside world. It will be a great loss if you don't listen to it."
After the editor-in-chief said that, the scene quieted down.
Everyone who came here to participate in the training class wanted to learn more.
It was rare to have such a great god teach them the key points of writing face to face.
"Thank you for your support. Actually, I don't have many skills in writing. The reason why I'm slightly famous is because I started writing early and I have some creativity. However, what I'm going to share with you today is not creativity. It's about the adaptation of our online novels. "
Seeing that everyone had quietened down, Chen Yu began his class, "We all know that our online novels are paid for by the VIP model. That is, you pay by the thousand words. The more users pay, the more everyone's royalties will be. The less users pay. Sometimes, they don't even pay 100 yuan or even 50 yuan a month. "I know that the income of all the authors here today is not bad. However, compared to the elites in other industries, there is a huge gap."
Everyone knew what he said.
The income of online novel authors was really incomparable to the elites in other industries.
Not to mention them, just take White God's income.
He was the top in the entire online novel industry. In terms of income, he only earned a few hundred thousand a year.
However, think about it. The income of the top elites in any industry was only a few hundred thousand?
The top people in any industry would earn a few hundred thousand, or even tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
Of course, this was only a small part.
However, why was there such a huge difference between the top and the top?
A few hundred thousand versus a few hundred million?
Even if a few hundred thousand was compared to a few million, a few hundred thousand was extremely shabby.
Could it be that the income of online novels was only so much? Or was he really worthless?
However, this was obviously not the case.
"Then, here's the question. Why is our royalties so different from the elites in other industries?"
"In this regard, piracy is a problem. We know that more than 90% of our readers in the online novel industry are reading pirated versions. However, in the current environment, we can't change it. We can only turn some pirated readers into genuine authors step by step. However, this is very difficult, very difficult. "
"However, although it's difficult, we're working hard towards this step. We've seen many pirated readers turn into genuine authors. We've seen enthusiastic readers who know about piracy but still support us. Because of their support, our entire industry can survive. Then, other than piracy, is there any other way for us to increase our income? "
"Of course there are. For example, publishing. Publishing can increase our income. However, even if we include publishing, our overall income is still very different from some of the top elites in other industries. "
This was the awkward part of the online novel industry.
As for why the online novel industry was so insignificant compared to other industries, it could still continue to develop.
That was because many authors were actually ordinary people. As long as they could earn a portion of their royalties to support their families, they could work hard to continue writing.
"White God, you're right. However, is there any other way for us to increase our income?"
"Of course."
Chen Yu nodded. "For example, we can adapt our online novel into a movie or TV series."
"Adapt it into a movie or TV series?"
When he said this, everyone below the stage could not believe it.
Even Tang San and Tomato felt that it was impossible.
"White God, can online novels be adapted into movies or TV series?"
"Why? It seems like everyone doesn't believe it."
Chen Yu knew what everyone was thinking.
It was not that they did not believe it. It was just that until now, there had not been a single online novel adapted into a movie or TV series.
At the same time, no film company was willing to adapt it.
In the past, the website had recommended it to some film companies. However, the major film companies said that these online novels did not have much depth and the writing was very simple. There was nothing to adapt.
This also caused some authors to subconsciously feel that their novels were too trashy and that it was impossible to adapt them.
However, online novels were really trashy. Were they really not suitable for adaptation?
Of course, there were some that were not suitable, but there were also many that were suitable.
Think about the future.
There were a lot of online novels that dominated the screen. From this, it could be seen that it was not that online novels could not be adapted. It was just that they lacked an opportunity.
"I think our online novels are the most suitable for adaptation."
Chen Yu said with certainty.
Or rather.
There was no other literary work more suitable for adaptation than online novels.
However, although Chen Yu was so firm, some authors below the stage still could not believe it.
"White God, our novels are written in a fantasy style. It doesn't seem suitable for adaptation."
"On the contrary, I feel that it is precisely because our novels are written in a fantasy style that our novels are more suitable for adaptation."
"But …"
Many authors below the stage opened their mouths.
Although they knew that what Chen Yu said was right, what was the use of it?
If no one was willing to adapt their movies or TV series, what could they do?
Chen Yu naturally saw through everyone's thoughts. He then said with a smile, "Let me tell everyone a piece of good news."
"Huanyu Video Network has reached a strategic cooperation with Qidian. In the future, Huanyu Video Network and Qidian will adapt various online novels that are suitable for adaptation."
That was right.
This was the purpose of Chen Yu's participation in Qidian's training class this time.
Buying the copyright of a video network was indeed a big strategy.
However, the copyright of early videos could be bought cheaply. In the future, it might not be so.
In his previous life, Tencent Video and Love's Adventure seemed to be very popular. However, they were still incurring losses every year.
Why?
It was because the copyright of some movies and TV series was too expensive.
Tens of billions of yuan in copyright fees every year. No matter how big a company was, it could not afford it.
Hence, the solution to this problem was self-production.
If one could produce a series of excellent movies and TV series, one could greatly reduce the purchase of other movie and TV series.
Hence, the self-produced TV series in the future were born.
