Qidian / 起点中文网

Qidian / 起点中文网 appears in No.202 盛大的盛大，传奇的传奇 | 中国互联网故事20 as the core web-fiction asset inside 盛大文学. The episode uses it to show that 盛大’s entertainment ambition was not limited to games: serialized online literature could become a content library, user community, and IP source.

Qidian matters because it became a bridge from Shanda’s “network Disney” idea to 阅文集团. In the source, it is one of the clearest examples where Family Internet Portal Strategy did not fully work as a hardware-home portal but did leave an enduring content-platform asset.

EP240 “霸总甜宠”在海外：短剧出海的产业密码 extends Qidian into the overseas methodology branch. 夏洁逸 discusses 起点国际版 as a platform where overseas authors learn Chinese web-fiction methods, including type selection, fast pacing, paid hooks, and editor-led reference to successful Chinese works.
