Liu Xu didn't know that he had made a big deal in front of 108 writers' association presidents around the world, and he didn't know if he had an extra son. In the early morning of the next day, he read several books and now The data.
Among them, the situation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is better, and it has miraculously stopped the decline. The current collection has stabilized at around 250,000, and has not dropped. The situation of the forty groups is almost the same, with three new books being released at the same time. After that, it completely stabilized the group of friends.
However, Liu Xu no longer pays attention to the situation of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". What he is more curious about now is actually the situation of the three new books.
Among them, "General History of the Three Kingdoms" has naturally received very little attention. It has been 11 hours since its release, and the total number of collectors has not yet exceeded one thousand. This makes Liu Xu feel like he has returned to the time when "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" just started half a year ago. I still remember that it took nearly 50 days to break through from zero collection to 1,000 collections.
And now there are 898 collections in 11 hours. For Liu Xu, it is considered a success.
It is normal for "General History of the Three Kingdoms" to be ignored. After all, it is a complete history book, and it is written in the full classical Chinese style. Only readers in this world can read it.
As for why it is written in classical Chinese, it is naturally because the book was not written by Liu Xu, and the ancients under his command wrote it. It is difficult to expect them to write in vernacular.
Although there are some extremely smart perverts, such as Prime Minister Zhuge, who can now chat with anyone at will in the OO group without the other party noticing any abnormalities, Prime Minister Zhuge can completely write his part in vernacular.
However, the writing style of history books had to be unified, and in the end they were all written in classical Chinese. Anyway, under Liu Xu's influence, basically all readers of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can understand classical Chinese.
It is precisely because Liu Xu actually wrote very few parts of the "General History of the Three Kingdoms" and he was more responsible for the editing work of the entire "History Book" as an editor. Therefore, in the opening preface of "The General History of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Xu, He wrote that he was the chief editor, not the author of "General History of the Three Kingdoms".
And who wrote each specific article also gave the name of the relevant person at the beginning of the article. For example, "The Biography of Yuan Shao", the authors are Yuan Shao, Tian Feng, Yuan Yi, Yang Xiu, and Cao Cao, in total Five people participated in the compilation of "The Biography of Yuan Shao".
That's right, Liu Xu simply typed the real names of the characters in the Three Kingdoms. Liu Xu's original intention was to show respect for the author, and each of the characters in the Three Kingdoms was deeply moved.
But when readers saw this, they all said that these should be the pen names of the authors. The actual authors all gave themselves the names of characters from the Three Kingdoms as pen names, just like a certain Forty Thieves who were all martial arts masters. Just like Xia, otherwise these articles are really written by characters from the Three Kingdoms?
Liu Xu actually never cared about the results of "General History of the Three Kingdoms". What he really cared about was the results of "The Struggle for Hegemony between Chu and Han" and "I Am Ma Su".
The former is his second novel, and the latter is the first fanfic in Chinese history. Liu Xu values both of them.
But the results were worlds apart.
In fact, the results of "Chu-Han Struggle" are pretty good. In the early morning of the second day, the total number of collections exceeded 10,000, and the number of recommended votes also exceeded 10,000.
If this score is compared to a new book in the Chinese Literature Examination, it is simply a bad start.
But for an author who once ranked second on the new book list, this result is a bit bad. After all, this is a follow-up work that once reached one million collections and three million daily recommendations at its peak. As a result, the new book was This score is less than 1% of the peak score, which can be considered a joke in the industry. 0m
But this is normal. After reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", many readers have suffered from phobia of Yuanshi Tianwang and dare not read his second book for fear that the protagonist will die halfway in the end. treatment.
Compared with the work "Chu-Han Struggle", the results of "I am Ma Di" are at the other extreme.
As the founder of the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" fanfic, Liu Xu can see the specific data of all Three Kingdoms fanfic, so Liu Xu clearly saw that after only 11 hours, "I am Ma Su" has already It received 280,000 collections and 450,000 recommendation votes, but in terms of results, it directly beat the "Chu-Han War" by a full 30 times.
"This book is so damn good!"
"I declare this to be the best thing I've seen this year!"
"The fanfic completely overwhelms the original work, and the trash author is just trash!" Such comments appear endlessly among Liu Xu's readers. In their mouths, "I Am Ma Su" has completely surpassed the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In addition, Liu Xu also felt a new power of reading linked to him ten minutes after opening the book. This means that the total number of approved readers of "Chu-Han Struggle" has exceeded 1,000, and he can submit it to Liu Xu continued to provide reading power.
In this way, Liu Xu can continue to gain reading power from both "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Chu-Han Struggle" at the same time.
Looking at it this way, what a contracted author should do is to open as many new books as possible, and at the same time control the word count of each book within 200,000 words. In this way, he can have more than a dozen books in a few years, and he can harvest more than ten times. The power of reading.
Although there is no such good thing in this world, because the source of the power of reading lies in the reader, and the reader can only provide one connection with the power of reading to an author, not two.
Without additional publicity, the readers that a new book can attract are actually readers of the old book, and these readers have already provided their reading power to the author. If you open a new book, unless it is new, The writing is excellent and leaves a deeper impression on readers than an old book. Otherwise, it would be difficult to provide more reading power than an old book.
At the same time, as time goes by, readers will definitely gradually forget some old books that they have read long ago, and when they completely forget this book, the previous connection with the power of reading will be severed.
And this is also the fundamental reason for constantly updating new books, because new books can continue to keep old readers reading along with them, allowing them to continue to provide them with the power of reading.
Otherwise, you will be like Mr. Luo, whose grades plummeted, readers lost, and you fell from the second-level contracted author to the first-level contracted author.
Speaking of Teacher Luo, what is his current situation?
At this time, Teacher Luo was holding his wife and several children and crying, because just now, he experienced the ultimate joy in life.
Only about 5 minutes after "I Am Ma Su" was released, Teacher Luo felt that his body had been silent for a long time. There had been no movement for more than three years. It was like a pool of stagnant water. The power of reading articles, which would only slowly decrease, suddenly became like a mountain. It started to sweep across like a tsunami.
In less than two seconds, the second branch of the withered Wen Miao revived, which meant that Teacher Luo had returned to the level of a second-level contracted author.
But the surge of the power of reading continued. After only 10 minutes, the power of reading slowed down again, and then the huge tide continued to hit the barriers of Wen Miao.
Because Teacher Luo was once a second-level contracted author, and Wen Miao himself had already made a breakthrough once, the process of breaking through again was a matter of course, without any pain.
But Teacher Luo was only a second-level contracted author at the highest level. When he started to try to break through the third-level contracted author, the situation was completely different. Just like Liu Xu, Teacher Luo huddled on the ground in pain, holding his own His head frightened all the children at home.
Teacher Luo's wife has never seen her husband like this. After all, when she married him, he was already a second-level contracted author.
Fortunately, she had heard more or less stories about her husband bragging about his breakthrough, so while comforting the children, she locked them all in the room, otherwise they would disturb Teacher Luo's breakthrough, while she leaned against On the wall, silent crying.
Fortunately, Teacher Luo's breakthrough process was much faster than Liu Xu's. In about three minutes, the third seedling broke through the branches and grew rapidly.
Next, the power of reading continued to flow into Teacher Luo's body. When it finally calmed down, Teacher Luo even felt that he was only one step away from being a level 4 contracted author.
"I will now become a third-level contracted author!!!!" Teacher Luo stood up excitedly, feeling the surging power of reading in his body. This was the power he had imagined for so many years that he could not get. !
When Teacher Luo was still young, he never thought about becoming a teacher. His dream was to become the most powerful contracted author in the world. After passing the literary test, he got a divine literary appointment, and Teacher Luo regarded him as his whole life. proud.
So he worked very hard on writing books, and he could be said to be the hardest working among his classmates, so he was also the first among all his classmates to break through and become a level 1 contracted author.
But after that, the road to breakthrough became extremely difficult. In five years, Teacher Luo was still far away from becoming a second-level contracted author.
So Teacher Luo decided to use the most ruthless method, which was to update like crazy. In one year, he actually updated 5 times a day, updating tens of thousands of words of content every day, hoping to retain readers with a large number of updates.
Facts have proved that this method is really useful. It was in this year that Mr. Luo broke through and became a second-level contracted author, but this was also his peak. Many readers said that he felt like chewing wax after seeing the later period. If you use a routine over and over again, it won’t feel any better.
After that, Teacher Luo worked hard for another 10 years, but when he was 33 years old, he was still the second-level contracted author. At this time, Teacher Luo no longer dared to imagine that he would become the strongest author. He just wanted to have the opportunity to step into the field of third-level contracted authors and let him rise a little further.
But nothing has been accomplished in 10 years. On the contrary, all the data are declining. The recommendations won through hard work and hard work can only be exchanged for a small number of readers. It is difficult to make progress. It is enough to maintain without regression. It's an extremely difficult thing.
Later, Teacher Luo met his current wife. He decided not to work hard and live a peaceful life, so he went to school and became a teacher. Together with his wife, I raised 8 children. Teacher Luo is nearly 45 years old this year, and he has almost forgotten how he once pursued the power of third-level contracted authors.
And now, the power belonging to the third-level contracted author was surging in his body. At this moment, Teacher Luo hugged his family and cried bitterly all night!
