"Brothers, guess who Brother Xu is interviewing today?"

"Is there a kind of game that is particularly popular now?"

"That's right, it's just a script kill!"

Ding Xu said to the camera: "The script killing industry has developed to its third year, and script killing authors has become a new profession with low threshold and high income in the eyes of many people?"

"You ask how low the threshold is?"

"As long as you master the routines and templates, you can get started quickly after training as short as a few days or months."

“How high is the income?”

"As long as you write a set of popular books, there will be many people who earn millions of dollars!"

"Curious or not?"

"Are you moved?"

"Don't worry, Brother Xu will take you into the script today!"

"Please invite senior practitioners to be in a fog!"

"It's just that the media reported the situation of the top authors. Under normal circumstances, it's not that much. It's good if a book earns over 50,000 yuan."

Mizu is a young man with eyes. He worked as a script writer after graduating from college. He said shyly in front of the camera: "90% of the newcomer contributions received are not complete works."

"The rapid development of script killing in the past two years is in a stage of wild growth. The lack of market supervision has led to the inability to restrain plagiarism and piracy. Some authors who value industry dividends are busy following the trend and taking advantage of the hot topics, and even don't want to let go of the topic of the death of the father of Rice."

"So, based on actual income, survival status, entry threshold and industry ecology, is it a good choice for script killing authors nowadays?"

"I can only say that making money is not easy, the echelons are clear, and newcomers should be cautious when entering the industry!"

Ding Xu nodded. This sentence is very real. Players who only talk about the top in any industry are just hooligans.

For many people, script killing authors is obviously a profession with rich imagination space. They are in a rapidly developing emerging industry, with high income and low thresholds, breaking away from the traditional work check-in system, and have a strong voice...

But after a deep understanding of the true status of practitioners, you will find that the facts are not that simple.

"Many people have heard of the case where the script kills the author and earns millions. For example, the popular versions like "Hello" and "The War to the City", the author can indeed get 500,000 to 1 million yuan."

"I estimate that the author's share of a boxed book is between 10,000 and 50,000, sometimes it may not be 10,000, and it is barely enough to exceed 50,000."

Misty said: "In fact, it mainly depends on the time cost of the early investment. Good works are continuing to be sold, and the number of sales will be yours every month in the future. Just like farmers farming, it depends on whether you are diligent and the quality of the final harvest."

"My first work, "My mind" was a boxed book, with average sales, and only sold more than 200 sets. The second work, "Self-justification", is a city-limited book, priced at 2,088 yuan, and sold more than 20 sets at the Chengdu Exhibition."

"If it is only calculated by the production cost, not the time cost, it is in a state of guaranteed capital. However, because it is still participating in the exhibition, the income of this book has not stopped, so it is considered to be a long-term flow."

He has been working in the financial field before, and is also full-time, but his current income is not as good as before.

"My friend's first work, Maslow, has been tested and modified more than a dozen times, combined with player feedback, and everyone thinks that this book can be published as a city limit."

"But the budget is limited, so I decided to convert it into a boxed book for sale at the exhibition. I only drove two buses at the exhibition and no one cared for it. I originally had 500 books, but it was actually a terrible sight."

"So there are obvious income differences between authors in different echelons. Some friends around me wrote scripts of high quality and good sales. One set earns 300,000 or 500,000 yuan, and some write online books, and one set earns 1,500 to 3,000 yuan, and some people cannot sell the scripts at all, so they don't get a penny of their share of the money."

Ding Xu nodded, and the amount of income is also related to the distribution method. Currently, the two common buyouts and share are: the income from direct purchases ranges from thousands to tens of thousands. The author only retains the right to sign the work, paying money in one hand and delivering the goods in the other hand. As for how you sell it in the future and how much money you make, it has nothing to do with it.

The second type is sharing. This distribution method brings greater benefits to the authors, but it is only suitable for those authors who have plenty of time or are confident in the work. Because this means they are responsible for the after-sales issues of the script, that is, to modify the book.

Before the release, each book has to undergo multiple rounds of testing, and it is modified from small details to large frames. For some good works, it is fine to test once or twice, and it is fine to modify it a little. It is normal to measure more than ten, twenty or thirty times. Continuous testing and modification are constantly carried out. This is a project calculated in the past month, so sometimes the author directly asks the issuance to buy out.

"If you want to enter the industry, you must choose to fight teams or fight alone, either sign a studio with a mature system, or you must also take into account both creation and distribution."

"For the author, the biggest advantage of signing a studio is that it is efficient and worry-free. Take the studio where I am, as an example. Its base camp is in Shenzhen and currently has nearly 20 members. The author can work part-time remotely, and there are full-time employees who are responsible for supervising production, connecting with exhibitions, business, etc.."

"In the early stage of creation, the studio has a look at and guided on the elements, subject matters, characters, etc. of the script, reducing the frequency of later modifications, and can also discuss it with other authors during the creation process."

"When the work comes out, everyone in the studio will participate in the evaluation and give suggestions. After the draft is finalized, there is no need to worry about distribution and publicity."

Mizumi smiled and said, "I feel like I'm finding an organization when I join the studio. The original life and creative rhythm of the organization will no longer exist. Everyone will become a night owl because everyone is in various places and is busy with their own things, and the meeting time is set at twelve o'clock in the evening."

"It's okay to go to bed before two o'clock at night. There are many people who are still alive at four or five o'clock. This is also related to the work and schedule of the entire industry. The script-killing store is not open in the morning, so the store owners and publish this site are awake."

"If the author of the contracted studio is not in another state, it will be much harder. Especially during the release stage of the new book, you can only go to various places to run exhibitions by yourself."

"You need to participate in at least 2 to 3 exhibitions in a row for new books. Each exhibition usually has 8 to 9 buses. If you go in advance, you can drive 1 to 2 private buses."

"On average, a show runs 10 times, that is, he works as a DM and takes 10 groups of players to play 10 times. He can't sleep for a few hours a day, which is extremely physically exhausting."

Ding Xu asked: "Since high income is only the top, ordinary authors also have to consider distribution and publicity issues, and even go to exhibitions in person. Why are so many people still rushing to enter this industry?"

"Hey, in the beginning, we could see traces of generating electricity for love in this industry. Some people dislike the works on the market and choose to write them by themselves. Some people want to try it or have a desire to express themselves, because they like it."

"I was originally a financial practitioner, but after I wanted to make money and consider starting a side job, I focused on script killing. The jobs I work with me are all kinds of, including online writers, bars, and everything."
