At this time, it was just past ten o'clock, and he was the only one left at home.
Xu Lin turned on the computer and opened the writer's backend.
Manuscript fees?
714,605.23 yuan.
This is before tax. After deducting about 11.2%, it's 634,569 yuan.
More than six hundred and thirty thousand!
But this is all reward money, and the amount is quite exaggerated, mainly because there are eight Golden Alliances, a bunch of Silver Alliances, and regular Alliance Leaders.
It's hard to say if there will be this much reward after it goes on sale, but tonight Xu Lin is going to put it on sale. At that time, it will be the formal manuscript fee. Considering the performance of this book, the amount will only be more, not less. Earning seven figures a month is guaranteed!
Xu Lin logged into a small account to see how much Wu Chengfeng's manuscript fee had refreshed.
Because Xu Lin wanted to take some reference from the performance, how much manuscript fee Wu Chengfeng earned, and then think about his current book, which has even better performance, so Xu Lin could have an idea by then.
Wu Chengfeng had already sent a message to Xu Lin ten minutes ago.
The message was very excited.
Manuscript fee amount?
930,000!
Don't even have to look at the few thousands.
Xu Lin looked at the source of the manuscript fee. Besides the group's main site, there's also channel fees, but it's unclear where the channels are, and for Wu Chengfeng, the channels contributed 130,000.
"Receive day end: 'I guess you'll hit seven figures next month.'"
Wu Chengfeng: "Thanks to the master's generous guidance! When I saw the numbers, I couldn't dare to imagine!"
Several more messages of gratitude followed.
Xu Lin asked: "For my book, how much do you think I can earn in a month?"
Wu Chengfeng: "One hundred fifty at least, but I'll say at least, I can't imagine more for now, Master, your book's performance is too exaggerated!"
That's very nice!
Seeing the numbers, Xu Lin was motivated.
Xu Lin's book is expected to be over 700,000 words long. If he writes for three months, he could earn several million. However, this is a hypothetical situation because the performance will rise, and Xu Lin is unsure how much he will earn in three months. Additionally, there will be subsequent income after the book is complete. Xu Lin feels that he could live off this book for a long time. Additionally, Ranzhi said that if this book maintains its momentum, it has a high chance of being sold for a high-priced copyright.
How high is high?
Xu Lin was curious.
On this site, because it's a leading site, copyrights can be sold for very good prices. Even for the worst-selling books that can sell their rights, the unit is in the millions. For instance, a phenomenon-level Xianxia hype book from two years ago had its rights sold for 20 million, an astronomical figure.
Xu Lin wondered, what price could he sell his book for?
Wu Chengfeng: "Master, when are you putting it on sale?"
"Receive day end: 'Around nine o'clock tonight.'"
Wu Chengfeng: "I'll definitely show my support! Sunglasses.jpg"
On the other side.
Ranzhi sent a message.
"Mr. Xu, did you receive the on-sale notification?"
Xu Lin glanced at the backend.
"Received."
"Great!"
Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, did you see the manuscript fee refresh?"
Xu Lin sent a screenshot to him.
Ranzhi: "Awesome!"
Ranzhi: "But this is just the beginning. Mr. Xu's manuscript fee next month will refresh to seven figures for sure!"
Xu Lin: "Thanks for the good wishes!"
Ranzhi: "Pleasure working with you.jpg, big grin.jpg"
Xu Lin also went into the backend to set a new schedule. The VIP chapters have already appeared.
Then Xu Lin posted an on-sale comment.
Xu Lin is releasing at nine tonight, planning to put out 40,000 words, with each chapter being about three to four thousand words, totaling twelve chapters.
At noon, when the follow-up data refreshed, Ranzhi sent a message saying the real follow-up exceeded 430,000.
This was also the data from the day before yesterday. As for today, it should be 500,000. The actual follow-up increases by tens of thousands every day.
Ranzhi said: "The subscription number on-sale is usually 50% to 80% of the follow-up. The higher the quality, the higher the subscription ratio, understood, Mr. Xu?"
This point Xu Lin could understand.
Xu Lin: "Understood."
Ranzhi added: "Mr. Xu, you are putting it on sale today. Assuming today's follow-up data is 500,000, if we average it to 70%, that's 350,000! That's unprecedented in the web novel industry. If Mr. Xu doesn't make a move later, there will also be no followers later on!"
Xu Lin didn't want to listen to his boasting.
"What was the on-sale record again?"
"179,000 or more!"
Ranzhi: "But this on-sale record counted the first week's subscriptions, the actual first-day record was less than 100,000, even counting the seven-day data, Mr. Xu's book is still first in subscriptions!"
Xu Lin suddenly understood.
Needless to say, let's break a record tonight first, Xu Lin will most likely only write this one book, to leave a beautiful memory.
After chatting with Ranzhi for a few minutes, Xu Lin went offline.
At the same time, the release event for Xu Lin's book also started. The site set the cap at 450,000, the highest in the site's history. This number excited all the authors in the circle. Among the greats, for example, if the cap was set at 100,000, the minimum they achieved would be 60,000 or 70,000, indicating getting 60% to 70%. As for Xu Lin's book, with a cap of 450,000, even reaching just 60% would mean 270,000 subscriptions!
All the authors couldn't stay calm, knowing they were about to witness history.
Xu Lin wasn't too focused on this matter.
Past four o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Ren returned from the gathering.
"Xu Lin, just the two of us will go out for dinner around six!"
"Ok."
Xu Lin's home was quite quiet, just the two of them. His dad, Xu Cheng, didn't live there, as the couple had been divorced for a long time, with little chance of remarrying, though they still kept in touch.
After five in the afternoon.
Ning Yuhuan sent a message and a photo. It turned out they were slaughtering a chicken at home, a free-range chicken from the countryside, slaughtered by her dad.
