I really want to pounce

Chapter 137 Meng Xingkong, whose edges and corners have been smoothed by reality

"Thank you for accompanying Chaoshen Wangwen Studio for this year. Due to poor operation and excessive losses, this studio is officially closed. Last month's manuscript fee has been settled for everyone. The road is far away. Goodbye, everyone! Bar!"

After Meng Xingkong sent this message, he lay limp in the empty office.

a year ago.

He and two other partners set up Chaoshen Wangwen Studio with high ambitions, and rented this small office on the basement floor, with a total area of ​​only 30 square meters.

I want to make a lot of money with this studio.

As a result, a year later, he lost all his money.

The problem can be summed up in four words: disagreement of ideas, making ends meet.

Before starting this studio, the three of their partners were all web writers, and they used to be good friends who chatted and spanked together in the water group.

Belonging to the authentic fluttering writers above 500 average and below 3000 average.

It is a small achievement.

Later, I found out that I couldn't make much money writing books, so I just had enough food and clothing.

And the three of them happened to have researched the web articles of various websites, and they also went to various websites, and made some money by using the rules.

Occasionally, I will make a guest appearance as an online editor, get a few authors to publish books in other places, and make a quick buck.

Over time, the three cherish each other.

On a certain day a year ago, probably before the first new media article became popular.

At night, Meng Xingkong suddenly said in the small group of the three of them: "How about we open our own studio?"

Hit it off!
Open up!
I have been immersed in the Internet literature circle for many years. Although the books written are so-so, the three of them have a lot of author resources and website resources, and they are more knowledgeable than most authors.

It can be said that the innate conditions for being a web studio are full.

However, the performance after that was not satisfactory.
Meng Xingkong and the two partners have different ideas.

The two partners believe that the Wangwen studio is to use the rules of various websites to earn poor information, and then act as a second-hand dealer by itself, so as to ensure stable profits and no losses.

For example, they take the beginning of a novel written by a newcomer to various novel websites to insure the bottom line, and the website gives a price, such as 15 for a thousand words.

(Guaranteed text: Regardless of whether anyone reads it, the website will at least give a guaranteed amount of money. If the book becomes popular and the actual manuscript fee exceeds 15 thousand words, about 1/4 of the profit will be given to the author.)
They took it down directly, and then wrote 10 words for newcomers.

Earn the difference of 5 yuan by yourself.

If you are lucky, the book is not bad, and you can even earn a share.

Many people think it's incredible, why don't newcomers directly vote on the website?Doesn't this prevent you from being plucked by the studio?
Because of poor information.

When most newcomers enter the industry, their eyes are really smeared. Apart from knowing a few big websites that they read books, they don't know anything.

After I voted for Qidian Chinese.com, I panicked when I failed to meet the signing criteria.

The lost group felt like a waste.

Then he would find others to read his articles and ask why he couldn’t sign a contract, but the authors he could find were all Internet lovers at his level, and 99% of them were not signed.

This group of people also enjoys giving guidance to others, and especially likes to comment!
After a group of Internet lovers reformed, what level can it be?
I can't sign anymore!
If they could sign the contract, they would have already signed it themselves!

But what many newcomers don't know is that a large website like Qidian has high requirements and a high signing threshold.

And small websites don't have such high requirements, the text can almost be signed, and even a low-priced guaranteed text can be mixed.

The studio makes money from this information gap, and a large number of newcomers' articles are posted on various small websites, and those who can sign guarantees and buyouts will sign.

(Buyout article: Buy it now, [-] words* money, directly buy out all copyrights, no matter how much you earn, you won’t share it with the author.)
The newcomer author is also grateful, after all, it is not for nothing, at least he can earn a little bit if he earns less.

I have pocket money.

In this way, the studio will generally not lose money. Even if the follow-up results are too poor and the website asks to cut the book, they can cut the book for the author, and the studio can always earn the difference.

Therefore, studios generally require authors to update a lot every day.

The daily update starts at 6000.

8000 on average.

In this way, for a book with a price difference of 5 yuan, the studio can earn 40 yuan a day. If you buy more books, you can earn more.

There are also some lists for authors to continue to write, and lists for customizing themes for websites.

Most studios do this.

But Meng Xingkong didn't think so.

He felt that it was too low to make money in the low-end online literature market by exploiting new writers.

Pure hard money.

Every day, a large number of authors must be recruited to write books, and a large number of authors will run away every day.

It is also necessary to review and select a few eye-catching ones from among the broken manuscripts and submit them to various websites to see which one is the best.

Then review a large amount of text every day, and then keep urging the author to write.

In the end, a dozen or dozens of manuscript fees are settled for each author every day.

It is too low-end!
No technical content!
This kind of thing can be done by just a few people.

He, Meng Xingkong, still has higher pursuits.

Cultivate your own author team, formulate various routines according to the online text market, create high-quality popular articles, and earn more manuscript fees, so as to make a lot of money with the author.

Especially in the first few months of opening the studio.

He has seen with his own eyes that the book "The Dragon King of the Urban Son-in-Law" has risen to the top of the best-selling list of new media channels from a deadly place where no one cares about it.
If their studio can mass-produce this kind of text, wouldn't it be flying around?

Making a blockbuster book makes more money than they exploit 100 new authors!

The workload is also much less.

This is making money with your brain.

Therefore, Meng Xingkong is going to train his own team of authors, and work together to study how to create popular articles, instead of being a low-end online article studio for second-hand dealers.

This was met with the full opposition of both partners.

Their studio has been open for half a year and has been making profits, and the amount is also considerable. Each person can get about 3 yuan a month, which is much more than what they earn from writing books. They think this is very good, if they mess around Likely to lose.

Meng Xingkong insisted on going his own way.

Cultivate new writers, and study the routines of creating popular articles.

He offered more manuscript fees to the authors, and at the same time demanded more, hoping to implement his ideas.

However, newcomers were quickly scared away by a large number of authors.

They don’t need to change the text they wrote before, and send it after writing, as long as there is no political or pornographic involvement.

Now Meng Xingkong asked them to keep revising the text, over and over again, but it still didn't meet his requirements.

It was torture!

It seems that the unit price of manuscript fees has increased, but in fact they write less every day and earn less.

The most important thing is why do newcomers think you want me to change according to what you said?I don't think you are right.

How much do you want for this little money?
Go to yours!
For a time, a large number of authors of Chaoshen Wangwen Studio lost, and their income dropped sharply.

And some of the articles they send out can indeed earn more money, and some can't even sign a contract.

Far less stable than guaranteed text.

At the same time, because Meng Xingkong paid more manuscript fees to the author, the financial pressure of the studio also increased, and the low income made the situation worse.

The two partners felt that he was unreliable, so they continued to do the same thing as before, and gave him less profit.

There was a gap between the three.

Then the studio didn't persist until Meng Xingkong succeeded, so it disbanded.

Meng Xingkong not only didn't make a lot of money, but also lost all the money he made before.

only left.
"Xing Kong Da Da, don't disband, I feel that I will definitely be able to get up in the next book!"

"Is it really necessary to disband? Our grades have already started to improve, and it is obviously correct to work hard."

"Boss, I don't want my manuscript fee for last month. Help our studio tide over the difficulties."

"Although my manuscript fee was not much last month, and I only had a full attendance, I also used it to support our Chaoshen Studio."

"Since I came to the studio, I have evolved from a newcomer to the present. I can already sign a contract with Qi Dian based on my own strength. If Xingkong Ju can find a good theme, let's just make a wave, and it will definitely work!"

In the WeChat group of Chaoshen Wangwen Studio, there are 30 hardcore writers, who are Meng Xingkong's last team.

These people have been with him for at least half a year, and they have evolved from newcomers to qualified web writers. Although they are still veterans, at least they all have the possibility of taking off.

Another month?

Meng Xingkong shook his head, it was all over.

The studio ran out of money, and the other two partners ran away.

The office lease is up.

He has only 1 yuan left, and he can't hold it anymore. He is going to find a construction site tomorrow to move bricks.

"That's it. You can chat with me privately if you have anything to do in the future. Let's get together and break up. Let's go our separate ways!"

('Chaoshen Wangwen Studio' has been disbanded by the group owner Meng Xingkong.)
This office will belong to someone else tomorrow.

Everything is sold.

There was only one of his personal laptops left in the room, and the screen was still on, flickering with a faint light.

He sat down.

Get ready to spend your last few hours here.

Put a question mark on your own failed business.

"Could it be... Am I really wrong?"

"Hey"

"I don't want to, just go for a walk"

He looked at those familiar forums, post bars, and author groups, and there was no room for him to develop.

Because of the fact that Chaoshen Studio was messed up by him, it spread in the small circle of Wangwen Studio.

Even if he goes to work with others, he doesn't need him.

And he doesn't have much to follow others to do. Only a few leaders can make money with this thing, and the others just get paid for their hard work, not as much as entering the factory.

At this point, he saw a post.
"Duoyu Culture Co., Ltd. is sincerely looking for an experienced person in charge of an online writing studio, with a monthly salary of 1 + commission, five social insurances and one housing fund, a regular company with business qualifications, and needs to come to work in Kyoto. If you are interested, please contact me as soon as possible!"

　There will be more in a while.
