Chapter 155 The Magical Butterfly Effect
Throughout December, Qianzhou was in a very happy mood.
At the beginning, it was because, in addition to "I'm Really Not a Star" and "The Age of Literature and Art", he also published several books with orders of more than 1,000 each.
There are also two exquisite works.
Then there is "Literary Age", which is about growing taller if you go to bed early. The average subscription has slowly increased to about 2,500. As long as you give me another recommendation position at the end of the year, you will probably have a chance to touch the threshold of high-quality products.
He added another general to his staff.
This is quite exciting for a new editor.
Not only is it an affirmation of his personal vision and ability, but it also means real salary commissions and bonuses.
But what Qianzhou didn't expect was that since the beginning of December, the data for the book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity" have been soaring at an incredible speed.
Especially this month, he hasn't had time to arrange a recommendation spot for "I'm Really Not a Celebrity". It's a completely natural growth rate, and it can still maintain at least 1,000 new collections every day.
And there are not many.
In the first week, Qianzhou didn't even notice this.
After all, you have to click on the background page to see the background data yourself.
Editors usually focus more on new books.
For old books that have been put on the shelves, reading them once a week is generally enough.
Especially for those like Reignited, which have broken through the high-quality line, but their own performance is far less than Wanding, they can only leave it there tepidly.
It wasn’t until the middle of the month that Qianzhou took a regular look at the data on the book and realized something was wrong.
Why has the average booking increased to 6,000 to 7,000?
Wasn’t it just over four thousand at the beginning of the month?
Pulling up this month’s collection data, Qianzhou suddenly looked confused and didn’t understand.
Without the help of recommendations, the collection increased by 20,000 to 30,000 in half a month.
Is this still a human being?
Could it be that word of mouth has exploded, so readers spontaneously recommended it, attracting many readers?
But this increase has lasted for too long, right?
At this time, Qianzhou ran to the comment area of Reignition to take a look, and slowly figured out the situation.
It turns out that Xuan Ran wrote an original song of his own in the book, and actually asked him to find someone to sing it and post it online.
As a result, this song was spotted by a certain TV series and was purchased as the theme song, and it became a hit.
Qianzhou shared this matter in the editor group. Whether it was the editor in the same group or the editor-in-chief Hongdou, everyone looked confused. They had never encountered such a situation.
So this matter started to spread in various offices of Wenyue Group like a new kind of gossip.
If it ends here, that's okay.
It's just that a certain author is really capable and lucky, relying on the traffic outside the site, he caught this huge wealth and ate a lot.
According to the current trend, the average subscription of "I'm Not a Celebrity" will exceed 8,000 by the end of the month.
It is estimated that 10,000 bookings will be made next month.
You know, this is 10,000 orders in 2014. After more than ten years, the entire site has only accumulated two to three hundred books.
And this is cumulative.
If we look at the tens of thousands of books being serialized, we probably can’t even count 50 in Qidian.
Just look at the rankings of "I'm Really Not a Star" these days.
The monthly ticket list has ranked third in the urban category, and the top two are very well-known urban gods.
As for the total monthly votes list, "I'm Really Not a Star" is already ranked 28th.
The best-seller list is ranked based on sales data. Due to the continuous support attracted by readers during this period, it has even reached 19th place on the entire site.
For a new author, this is a miracle.
Under such circumstances, a new employee from the operations department was assigned an internship.
The supervisor asked each of them to find an online article that interests them, analyze and plan it, and come up with a suitable promotion plan.
There was an employee who liked reading the book "I'm Really Not a Celebrity", so he used it as a case study.
So...
[Reignited]: We do know each other, what’s wrong?
[Qianzhou]: I really know each other... You are so awesome.
【Reignited】: If the editor wants an autograph, I can get a copy for you.
[Qianzhou]: No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. I have something good to tell you.
[Reignited]: Huh?
[Qianzhou]: That’s right. The operations department came up with a plan. I heard that your song “Rings of the Year” was given to Yuan Wanqing to sing.
【Qianzhou】: And this song became a hit.
[Qianzhou]: The operation side just thought about it and sent an invitation to Yuan Wanqing’s work email, asking if the other party would be willing to accept an interview cooperation activity from our side.
[Qianzhou]: Actually, I just gave it a try. After all, although our Wenyue Group is affiliated with Penguin, Qidian is basically a godson, and we usually don’t have much support.
[Qianzhou]: Yuan Wanqing’s traffic is booming now, so she may not pay attention to us.
[Qianzhou]: Who knows the result? The operation sent an email in the afternoon and received a reply in the evening, saying that it was no problem, and then gave us a few free times for us to choose.
[Qianzhou]: Damn it! As soon as I received the news, I came to see you immediately. This is such a huge opportunity, brother, you have to seize it! Good guy... I was so excited that I called him brother.
The corners of Li Luo's mouth twitched, and there was always an uneasy feeling in his heart.
[Reignited]: So...does this activity require my cooperation?
[Qianzhou]: I just came to ask you, are you free this weekend?
[Reignited]: Well... there should be.
Li Luo's inner uneasiness became more and more obvious.
[Qianzhou]: Can you come to the city then? Yuan Wanqing's company is in Yuhang City. When the time comes, we will send someone there to conduct an exclusive interview with her.
[Qianzhou]: At that time, you will be invited to have a simple conversation and exchange with Yuan Wanqing to talk about each other's mental journeys.
[Qianzhou]: What do you think?
Let me see?
Li Luo felt like he had goosebumps.
I think it’s really not that good!
Which operator came up with this outrageous operation? !
He was a little embarrassed to meet Aunt Yuan.
Good for you!
Not only do you want to arrange for me to meet, but you also want me to share my journey of writing a novel?
What do I have to share?
Would you like to share why you want to write a harem novel? !
And...
[Reignited]: Boss, I am still young and I don’t want to show my face. If I am recognized in school, I will be very distressed.
[Qianzhou]: Oh, this.
[Qianzhou]: This is not a big problem. We can help you cover your face. You just don’t appear on camera and just accept the interview.
[Qianzhou]: After all, Yuan Wanqing’s face is the key point, and you mainly want to produce a work.
This is a bit heartbreaking.
But when the editor said this, it was much easier for Li Luo to accept it.
【Reignited】: What about after the interview? What does the overall plan look like?
[Qianzhou]: Oh, this, I forgot to tell you.
[Qianzhou]: Your book now has more than 900,000 words, right?
[Qianzhou]: According to regulations, books with more than one million words will be sorted according to their scores. The higher the ranking, the sooner they will enter the channel for distribution.
[Qianzhou]: If you accept this interview this time, we will arrange channels for your book the next day.
[Qianzhou]: With the follow-up interview content pushed to the entire network, the audience will be directed to the main website or various channel distribution platforms to steadily catch this wave of traffic.
[Qianzhou]: Reignited, you have to think clearly. Once the effect explodes, your royalties will be more than the tens of thousands of yuan now?
[Qianzhou]: Earning one hundred thousand a month is not a dream!
[Qianzhou]: People only start looking for a job after graduating from college. You haven’t even gone to college yet, and you are already a winner in life!
[Qianzhou]: If you can't make up your mind, you can also communicate with your parents tomorrow. I can communicate at any time.
It can be seen that Qianzhou worked hard and tried his best for this popular book that may become a hit.
Li Luo thought about it and understood the many benefits. He thought that he had promised Yan Zhusheng that he would go to her house to meet Aunt Yuan this Saturday.
So I just gritted my teeth.
【Reignited】: I know the editor, just help me arrange it. I will go there on the weekend.
[Qianzhou]: OK!
[Qianzhou]: If there is no problem on your side, I will reply to the operation side immediately.
[Qianzhou]: You wait this weekend, and I will come with them then.
[Qianzhou]: If your parents are worried, I can go directly to your house to pick you up. It’s no problem if your parents want to follow. I’ll make arrangements.
[Reignited]: Let’s talk about this later.
[Qianzhou]: OK, let’s do this for now and talk later.
After finishing the private chat with the editor, Li Luo was also a little bit dumbfounded.
He himself did not expect that just one song "Rings of the Year" would trigger such a long series of chain reactions.
Originally I thought I just sold a song and made tens of thousands of dollars.
As a result, through the relationship between "Annual Rings" and Yan Zhusheng, I met Yuan Wanqing and Luo Fei, and got in touch with Huayue Film and Television Company, and by the way, I sold two more songs.
As the theme song "Annual Rings", Yuan Wanqing became famous again because of the popularity of the TV series "Yao Chi Xian Yuan", which had mixed reviews.
In the end, it actually affected the promotion priority of my novel within the Wenyue Group.
I have to say, sometimes things are really amazing.
Li Luo wrote books in his previous life, and Qidian’s channel distribution has gradually declined, and he has basically never enjoyed the benefits of channel distribution.
But I’ve also heard that those channel bosses in the past may have mediocre results on their main website, but they can make a lot of money if they post millions of words on the channel.
If I can seize the opportunity this time...
Li Luo rubbed his chin and thought for a while, wondering if he could have the money to buy a subway shop right away?
