I just want to copy books quietly

"Really? Poplar Scholarship?"

"Are you kidding, Internet writers and Bai Yang Scholarship, there is no correlation between them."

"The Poplar Award is the Holy Grail in the minds of writers from all over China!"

"I am willing to pay all my manuscript remuneration in exchange for a Baiyang Scholarship!"

"Since when did you become a young artist? I remember that you have always followed the funny route."

"You don't understand, every Doubi youth has a deeply hidden green dream in his heart. Am I that Doubi? I was in the face of the cruel reality, and I had to nod and bow my head, laughing presumptuously at myself, Till I burst into tears."

"I know you're showing off your pen. I want to say, don't show off. It's embarrassing. Just now I glanced at Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, and I have to say that it's not at the same level as our pen. His skills are really good. .”

There was a lot of chatter in the group here, but there were five great gods who opened a small chat group alone.

Pepper and Salt Pipi Shrimp: "Fireworks, it seems that you will not be able to keep the number one spot on the monthly ticket list this month. Hemingway's rise is too strong."

The fireworks withered sadly: "Actually, I don't care if I'm the first or not."

Salt and Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "What did you say? Then I will fight with you?"

The fireworks withered sadly: "If you want to fight, fight, do you still need to say hello, what month have you not fought with me?"

Pepper and Salt Pipi Shrimp: "I haven't seriously argued with you before. This time I saw Hemingway get up too. It's fun to fight."

Virgin fruit: "Hehe, who gave you the courage to privately contract the monthly ticket list?"

Pepper and Salt Pipi Shrimp: "Could it be that you also want to fight? By the way, your subscription seems to have dropped recently, and you wrote a big poisonous point."

Holy Maiden Fruit: "The monk can touch it, but the poor can't touch it?"

Salt and Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "It's fine if you come to fight, it's lively. Why don't we fight together, bread, no sugar, you come together too?"

Garlic Toast: "I Go With It."

No sugar added to the coffee: "I also follow the fate."

Pepper and Salt Pipi Shrimp: "Hehe, I believe in your ghosts, if you have the guts, don't open a single chapter and sell it badly and beg for tickets!"

Garlic Toasted Bread: "Single chapters still need to be opened, this is a respect for readers."

No sugar added to the coffee: "I don't sell miserably, I wear women's clothes."

Salt and Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "You are ruthless."

Fireworks withered: "Anyway, let's all do our best. You all know Ghost Blowing Lantern, 18 favorites on the first day of the book, and now it's only been a week, and it's already 45 favorites. There is no need to run away from the title of the originator of the mountain. Anyone with eyes can see that this is a masterpiece. When the book is on the shelves, we should just raise our hands and surrender. Only now that the ghost blowing lamp is not on the shelves yet, we still Can compete with Zhu Xian."

Pepper and Salt Pipi Shrimp: "You are too arousing for others."

Garlic Toast: "It's Fact."

Unsweetened Coffee: "It's Fact #1."

Saint Maiden Fruit: "It's fine to lose to Ghost Blowing the Lantern, and I am also convinced, but Zhu Xian, hehe, the poor must fight for it. If you don't fight for anything else, just fight for one breath."

Pipi Shrimp with Pepper and Salt: "Okay, let's let the Eight Immortals cross the sea and show off their magical powers!"

Cherry Blossom: "Fireworks, everyone said before that you are the most recognized author by traditional writers in the Internet circle, and you are also the first among us to join the National Writers Association. But in the future, the author who is most recognized by traditional writers , It is estimated that someone will be replaced."

The fireworks faded: "It's better to let a hundred flowers bloom. I really want to make friends with him, but it is said that he is very introverted and doesn't like to talk much."

Pepper and Salt Pipi Shrimp: "You say, is he really Lin Ke?"

Garlic Toast: "I didn't believe it at first. But this time he was so targeted, I believe it."

Pepper and Salt Pipi Shrimp: "During his photography incident, I was still young and had no chance to get resources. Do you have any resources? Send me a copy."

Cherry tomatoes: "Pindao is not this kind of person."

Garlic Toast: "Hehe, I have a girlfriend and never watch that kind of stuff."

No sugar added to the coffee: "Don't look at me, I can't have it, I'm an innocent male college student."

Salt and Pepper Pipi Shrimp: "Made, pretend to be pure here one by one."

The fireworks withered sadly: "I have a complete set, and I sent it to your email."

Cherry tomatoes: "I didn't expect you to betray the revolution! I just want to say three words! I want it too!"

Du Caige posted the first 3000 words of The Old Man and the Sea and went to bed.

He didn't think about how the readers would react, how the bigwigs in the industry would react, and didn't think about whether it was appropriate to publish a serious work like The Old Man and the Sea on an online platform.

He just wanted to show his attitude to those people.

Never compromise, never say never.

Then, there is no soul for Hemingway without the old man and the sea.

It's that simple.

The next day is August 4th.

Du Caige gets up normally in the morning, and now his life is becoming more and more regular.This is due to the time when Du Yuqi lived at home, he had to get up on time every day to make breakfast for his sister.

After washing, Du Caige went to the small room to practice equipment for 10 minutes, watered the flowers and plants, and then ate a simple breakfast of toast, fried eggs, and milk.

Then I sat at the table and listened to a few songs to build up my emotions.

While listening, I thought, although Azure Star also has a lot of good music.However, the development of modern music seems to be slightly behind the earth.

I still have to find time to move all the hundreds of pure music I love to listen to.

Even if you don't publish it, you can buy a set of equipment to make the song yourself when you have money, and put it on your computer to play it on a loop.

After listening for a while, Du Caige turned down the volume of the speaker, ready to start carrying the ghost blowing lamp.

The current situation of Ghost Chuideng is very good. He uploaded more than 2 words on the first day, and then uploaded 30000 words every day in the past few days. Up to now, the total is only more than 4 words, but he has 45 favorites. This is definitely a blue star. There is no record of an ancient person in the Internet world before. As for whether there will be anyone in the future?

At least on earth, until 2021, there is no book that is so popular.

The popularity of ghost blowing lamps to such an extent is the result of a combination of factors.

On the one hand, the Zhu Xian he transported is of good enough quality, and it is being serialized to a place where people can't stop, so it naturally attracts many fans of Zhu Xian; on the other hand, Chuangshi's promotion of his book is also unprecedented. The publicity has already started before the official upload, and immediately after the upload, the cover of the homepage is recommended by the wind, and the quality of the book is solid enough, and the word of mouth is very good.

This has led to the emergence of a myth in the Internet world that is difficult to replicate.

After modification by Du Caige, the current version of Ghost Blowing Lamp is a little more streamlined than the original version, with less worthless dialogue, and the number of words describing the environment has also been reduced. It is less but more refined, and the atmosphere can be described in just a few words.

Therefore, with more than 4 words, the plot is progressing very quickly. Hu Bayi has already left the novice dungeon, left the army, met Da Jinya, and is about to enter the underground fortress of the Kwantung Army.

Judging from the readers' comments, this book has always firmly grasped their emotions, making them unable to stop, and also made Du Caige satisfied with his adaptation, without losing the essence of the original ghost blowing the lamp.

After posing properly, Du Caige was about to turn on the carrying mode when suddenly the phone started to vibrate.

When I checked the caller ID, it was Xiao Jiang.

"What's the matter? Early in the morning!" Du Caige said angrily.

"Brother," Jiang Youxi said pitifully, "the first time it will be released soon, I don't know why! Can you comfort me?"

Du Caige said lightly: "We have all thought of the way we should think of. We have done everything we can do. I also see the hard work you put in for this song. I don't think there is anything to regret and regret .Now, wait quietly for the results."

Jiang Youxi said shyly, "Brother, just comfort me! I'm a poor brother!"

Du Caige thought about it for a while, and felt that Jiang Youxi was the first friend he made in this world, and maybe he should give him some preferential treatment, so he said, "I'm not very good at comforting people, tell me how you want me to comfort you?"

"Just predict the first week of downloads for the first time."

Du Caige said without hesitation, "One million."

"!? You haven't woken up bro!" Jiang Youxi blurted out.

"You think I don't understand?" Du Caige asked back.

"No," Jiang Youxi said, "but last year Xiaochen's new album was released, and the digital version was released simultaneously. The title song in it was downloaded only 71 times in the first week. Brother, she is the queen of the song!"

Du Caige said lightly: "I know. I even know clearly that among the digital versions of new songs last year, the highest number of downloads in the first week was 77 times."

"Then you still dare to say 100 million!" Jiang Youxi's tone was resentful like a concubine in the cold palace.

Du Caige still looks very plain. "First of all, it was first released on a single platform, and your song was first released on almost all platforms; secondly, you have to pay to download it, and the first time is free for the first week, have you forgotten? We don't rely on the first time to make money. Once it was used to build word of mouth, and the next fairy tale is the time to make money. If the song I wrote is free for all platforms, and it doesn’t reach 100 million downloads in a week, it means that you are too useless. I will never write songs for you again."

Jiang Youxi wailed: "Don't bro, I'm just kidding! It's not fun to get 100 million downloads of your song in a week! But, after all, I'm still young, ignorant, and lacking. I set a goal of 100 million, which is too difficult for me, let's make it 30, okay? 30."

Du Caige said, "Are you still nervous now?"

"Um, more nervous"

"That's good, keep being nervous, don't bother me, I have to write something." After Du Caige finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Jiang Youxi another chance to make jokes.

Looking intently at the computer screen, Du Caige has actually lost his mind.Can you get 100 million downloads in the first week?He has no idea.

After all, Arima did not invest much in publicity.

As far as Du Caige learned, he only launched new song trial activities in the music columns of the entertainment channels of several provincial TV stations, and then advertised in several music forums, and also carried out public relations with several music critics. , There are also benefits for several opinion leaders in the music field.

This has already spent the 270 million publicity budget.

In fact, Huayu has tried his best. After all, Huayu Entertainment is just a small company, and it has invested 270 million in promotional expenses for a new singer's new song. To be honest, it is already looking at Du Caige's face.

After all, the first week of the "first time" is to be released for free. Even if there is a fee, if you buy it for 2 yuan once, you need to be purchased 500 million times, and the income will reach 1000 million yuan. After paying the tax to Xiao Jiang, Du Caige, and other music producers, Arima Entertainment can barely recover the cost, and even make a slight profit.

In the current music scene, how many songs can reach 500 million purchases within the charging period?

So "the first time" is probably not the opponent of Zong Sheng's new song.

After all, Tianyi Entertainment invested at least 1500 million to promote the new song of Zong Sheng and those little fresh meats. The advertisements in subways, shopping malls, and elevators of various buildings can be seen everywhere. Zong Sheng's handsome face, and the title of his new song, "The Boy With the Mask."

Du Caige sighed softly and began to concentrate on carrying.

By the time he stopped and got up to move around, it was already 1 p.m.

If I remember correctly, the "first time" should be on sale at 12 o'clock on all platforms.

So how are sales going so far?

Du Caige clicked on his usual "philosophy" player.

On the "Aile" music platform, the number of "first time" purchases in the first hour is: 792 times.

"Aile" is one of the largest music platforms in Dahua, and the number of purchases and downloads here is very representative.

The number of purchases here is not high, and it will be even less on other platforms.

If a new song is released on a single platform, it can usually negotiate a higher sales share and a higher shelf price.

But Jiang Youxi is just a small shrimp in the music world, others are not interested in him, Huayu Entertainment would rather take the route of small profits but quick turnover, first make Jiang Youxi famous, and then choose a single platform to release singles.

Huayu Entertainment originally thought that with the slogan "Created by the Queen's Musicians of the King of Songs and Queen of Songs", plus the fact that it is free for a limited time, it would attract many passers-by.

As a result, passers-by did not pay at all.Even if it is free, not many people choose to buy downloads.

But Du Caige was not surprised.

The reality is like this, the appeal of musicians is far inferior to that of popular singers.

If it was back then, when the new song was released, the name "Lin Ke" was used to promote it, it might still have some appeal.

For example, on Earth, if a certain singer invites Fang Shan and Lin Xi to write songs, it should still attract a lot of attention.

But now, the full-level large "Lin Ke" has been abolished, while the small "Hemingway" is still in Xinshou Village, has not developed, and can only call the clouds and rain in the Internet field.

Although there is overlap between netizens who watch the Internet and netizens who like to listen to music, after all, the pertinence is not so strong.

On the other hand, even if Arima Entertainment had several interactions with Su Rui, Peng Sizhang, Duan Xiaochen and other singer-songwriters, fans of these singer-songwriters barely knew about "Jiang Youxi", but obviously their fans I will not do my best to support Xiao Jiang's new song.

Chapter 138 There is no disturbance in my heart, and I even want to laugh a little

After that, Du Caige would pay attention to the "Philo" player every one or two hours, and the number of downloads of Jiang Youxi's "first time" has been increasing at a tepid rate.

It was around 7 o'clock in the evening, when Du Caige went out for dinner, he received a call from Tang Yezhi.

"The situation is not good. There are only more than 7000 purchases on Nima's entire platform. It's less than 270. This is a free purchase and download! Free! Our [-] million advertising investment is in vain." Tang Yezhi was annoyed Make complaints.

Du Caige expressed that this data is still acceptable.

After all, Jiang Youxi is an unknown singer, and the "first time" downloads will not increase significantly until word of mouth ferments.

Let the bullets fly for a while.

"Where are the singers over at Tianyi, how's the situation?"

Tang Yezhi seemed to be suffocating in his heart, "Ask, ask your sister, how do I know about her situation! Do you want to know? Call Tianyi and ask yourself!"

"Fuck you fat man, it's okay if you scold me, don't scold my sister." Du Caige responded lazily.He has gradually become used to speaking unscrupulously in front of Tang Yezhi.
