Chapter 407 First Manuscript Fee
The first point is that the selection of materials for each issue should be comprehensive and cover all fields.
The second point is that the ancients that Mai Xiaoji is familiar with are given priority, and other people's are not promoted, so they drag it out first.
The third point, academic papers, if Li Qingzhao can't understand it, she can get rid of her friends to help, and she will take care of the expenses herself, otherwise she can directly transfer to Mai Xiaoji without paying another honorarium.
Li Qingzhao has repeatedly promised that when he is a director for the first time, he is not familiar with the work process, so he understands that he will never do it again in the future.
In fact, Li Qingzhao sent all good works, including Li Yu's two poetry collections, "Spring Flower Collection" and "Autumn Moon Collection", both of which are newly created, and only some of them have been forwarded in the circle of the ancients.
If you get Hyundai, you also meet the conditions for an original debut.
Li Bai's poetry collection "Long Years" is also eye-catching, but it does not lose his previous creative style. I can also think of it with my feet, Li Qingzhao's "Wind and Dust" is indispensable here, with a little less grievance and more longing for life.
These are all the painstaking efforts of the ancients, of course, they must be uploaded in batches, but Mai Xiaoji thought that Zhang Heng's design drawings could be sold for eight million prices, and he thought of one person.
Shen Kuo!
In the Baoquan View of Guixi City, Shen Kuo solved the problem that had plagued Xuquan Daochang for many years with his common sense of water conservancy, and also helped Mai Xiaoji exchange for a handwritten painting of Xiao Zhouhou.
But the academicity was too strong, and in the years that followed, Mai Xiaoji failed to bring benefits to Shen Kuo.
"Is there anything you can offer, sir?"
"There's a copy, I don't know if it's possible. Shen Kuo quickly replied.
Mai Xiaoji was very happy, and before he asked the specific content, he replied directly, "Okay, why not, pass it to me!"
After Shen Kuo came, Mai Xiaoji couldn't cry or laugh, it was actually "Dream Creek Pen Talk"!
This is Shen Kuo's classic work, which has been translated into various languages commonly used in the world, and many countries have also organized experts and scholars to study this book in depth.
If it is posted on the knowledge-seeking software, it will make people think that they are buying a book, which violates the rules of the first release.
"Sir, isn't there a new one?" McT wondered.
"This is new. ”
Shen Kuo's words made Mai Xiaoji completely confused, but the other party's next explanation made him excited. It turns out that this is a revised "Mengxi Bi Tan", which retains the essence of the original book, and has been supplemented and revised in combination with historical phenomena and humanities in different periods.
"I'm ashamed to say that for many years, this is the only one who can write a book. Shen Kuo said.
"No, no, that's good. However, a different name has to be changed. ”
There is also a new name, "Good Learning in the World". ”
This name is good, but it is not passed here, "If this name is used, everyone will not know that it is "Dream Creek Writings", who will make the effort to study a professional book!"
"Then, in Xiaoji's opinion, what should I use?"
"It's better to be simple and straightforward, let's call it "Rewriting Dream Creek Pen Talk"!"
"It's fine. ”
Shen Kuo is two simple words, not very satisfied with the name, and has no literary talent, but it is also straightforward, so he did not object.
Transferring these to Nangong Yue, she was so shocked that she immediately found it, her voice trembling, "Xiaoji, are you really sure you want to publish and upload?"
"That's right!"
"The poetry collection is okay, but this "Rewriting Mengxi Writings" is too, is it going to be hyped? Have you reviewed all the contents, can you pass the test?" Nangong Yue asked a series of questions.
It is no wonder that at the beginning of the charge, it is necessary to establish absolute credibility and strive for the absolute trust of users. And relying too much on hype can be counterproductive.
"Not only to send it, but also to send it under the column of academic papers. Add refinement, the price is set at a high point, but Shen Kuo has written it for more than a thousand years. Mai Xiaoji shook his head and sighed.
Judging from the pricing range of the current knowledge-seeking software, even the highest price can't stand the painstaking work of this master, which has been precipitated for thousands of years and has profound insights.
Drip!
On this day, Mai Xiaoji suddenly received a text message that an income of more than 6,000 yuan had arrived, and he did not have a name or unit, so he didn't know where he got it from.
Maybe it's a mistake, there are all kinds of rare things these days, there are debts that are not paid, and there are people who give money for nothing. Subsequently, Mai Xiaoji called the bank to inquire, but was told that it was issued by a literary website, and the category was manuscript fees.
Royalties?
Mai Xiaoji suddenly remembered that it was Pu Songling's fantasy novel "Ancient Strange Soul Record". Pu Songling is a prolific writer, who can provide 300,000 or 400,000 words of manuscripts every month.
In order to save trouble, Mai Xiaoji released it regularly every day, but he has been so busy recently that he almost forgot about it.
I contacted the editor of the website and determined that this money was this month's manuscript fee, because there was no name in the early stage, and it would not be issued if it was less than 200 yuan.
Counting it, the time is not short, only such a small manuscript fee, Mai Xiaoji is a little disappointed, it is difficult for others to be Lao Pu, so old and still insist on creating every day.
However, the website editor informed Mai Xiaoji that it is very likely that the book "Ancient Strange Spirits" will become popular, and the channel fee will not be settled until half a year later, but looking at the background data, since the book was issued, it has been able to earn an average monthly income of 10,000 yuan.
Of course, when the number of words is more, it will be higher in the later stage.
That's really good, Pu Songling can make more money by relying on his own expertise. However, writing is a chore, and now the money is not much, Mai Xiaoji really can't bear to share it again, and gives Pu Songling a red envelope of 200 grams, which is equivalent to paying in advance.
The first time he got so much manuscript fee, Pu Songling was excited, and Mai Xiaoji teased, "What, in the Internet era, you don't need to boil mung bean soup and listen to stories, right?"
"How can it compare to today!"
"The editor said, there are still kilograms of gold to bet, and it will be sent sooner or later. McXiaoji shouted.
"Kilograms?!How can there be so many!"
Look at this unproductive, how much is it, and it is not proportional to the mental and physical effort.
What's more, the circulation of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and various copyright fees are amazing, and it may not be possible to calculate clearly, if you really want to transfer money to Pu Songling, you have to go directly to buy Jinshan.
It's a pity that none of this money fell on Pu Songling, and now he has to work hard as a coder to move bricks.
"If you have motivation, you will have more codewords, and everyone will urge you to change!" Mai Xiaoji encouraged.
"How about 20,000 words a day?" Pu Songling came to be proud, but Mai Xiaoji was startled, and hurriedly stopped, "Don't, if you are tired and break your neck, you won't have good books to read, the current speed is very good, and the body is the capital of the revolution." ”
"Haha, it's not easy for us to die, and I won't break my wrist and neck, I'll write more!"
Be willing to endure hardship!
At the same time, Mai Xiaoji also heard another layer of meaning, which is not easy to perish, that is, these beings who exist outside of life will also face death, but they will live longer than others.
One thing is certain, the one who gathered these ancients together must be a super god above the immortals.
