Chapter 621 40 million
After Nie Yuan and Chen Hao left, Yu Dong did not go back to sleep. After washing, he went to the living room to have breakfast.
Cheng Yanqiu was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Yu Dong heard the voice on the TV sounded familiar, so he turned his head and looked at it.
On the TV, I saw Hu Jing, dressed in black, running away, with a policeman chasing him. It turned out that the show was "Love Through Time".
Yu Dong couldn't help but laugh: "Have you not watched this TV series once? Why are you still watching it?"
"I missed two episodes before, and this TV series is interesting. It would be good to watch it again."
"Why is there a TV series broadcast so early in the morning?"
Cheng Yanqiu rolled his eyes: "This is Dolphin TV's weekend viewing pleasure. Starting from this week, Dolphin TV will broadcast TV series every weekend, and a TV series can be finished in two days. I heard that this weekend's viewing pleasure
It has something to do with Deep Space Company. You are an incompetent boss and you don’t even know this."
"If I even pay attention to this, I will be exhausted." Yu Dong smiled: "Watching this weekend is more suitable for the kind of viewers who watch TV dramas at home on weekends. Normally TV dramas are broadcast every day, and they may not be able to catch up, so they can also watch
It’s not satisfying. Playing it back and forth this time can really make them happy. However, this is only suitable for playing reruns of TV series.”
"That's why we aired "Love Through Time", and I heard that "Oolong Love" will be aired next week, and "Don't Talk to Strangers" will be aired the week after that. They are all TV series that Deep Space is involved in."
Yu Dong held his rice bowl and nodded slightly. He was not very impressed by Dolphin TV. What impressed him more was that they broadcast a lot of TV series and the variety was very rich. There was also a variety show "Super Winner" that had been popular for some time.
》.
He remembered that for a while, Dolphin TV's ratings were quite high in Shanghai, and many people in the neighborhood followed Dolphin TV's TV series.
It seems that nowadays Dolphin TV also attaches great importance to the broadcast of TV series, so it will cooperate with them in deep space.
As for Dolphin TV's choice of "Love Through Time" as the first TV series to be watched over the weekend, it also wanted a good start, because this TV series has been so popular recently.
Although "Love Through Time" produced by Deep Space is earlier than the previous one, thanks to the financial investment of Deep Space Company and the direction of Kong Sheng, the production level of this one is higher and the story rhythm is clearer.
In particular, Yu Dong has to praise the drama. Although "Love Across Time and Space" is a comedy, the drama has not fallen behind at all and is not inferior to the drama at all. This is what Kong Sheng insists on.
Time travel is a relatively new subject to begin with, and the heroine like Xiao Wanzi is quite special, so the TV series won the love of the audience as soon as it was aired.
When the first round was aired, the ratings of the last two episodes directly exceeded 60 points. Now, several months later, major TV stations are still rebroadcasting this TV series.
Another film, "Oolong" also performed very well, but compared to "Love Through Time and Space", the results were still lower.
During the internal discussion within the company, everyone agreed that "Oolong" is not inferior to "Love Through Time" in all aspects, but the reason why the ratings are not as good as "Love Through Time" is because it suffers from "Love Through Time".
"This element is also present in the heroine Xiaowanzi.
It can be said that Hu Jing, who plays the role of the little kid, has benefited the most since this TV series became a hit.
In the past six months, half of the reporters who went to Jinyi to interview were for "little players", and the other half were for interviews with writers such as Yu Dong, Mo Yan, Yu Hua, and other students.
However, Shen Kong also protected Hu Jing very well and did not immediately arrange for her to go around for promotions. Instead, it allowed the audience to focus more on the character itself.
Yu Dong has seen too many celebrities who are blinded by fame and fortune, and he certainly doesn't want the stars of Deep Space to have the same problem.
Moreover, Hu Jing is still in school. For long-term development, he should calm down and practice his business abilities.
…
After breakfast, Yu Dong watched TV with his wife for a while, and then went to clean the house consciously.
Some time ago, Yu Dong was busy writing "Curse", and Cheng Yanqiu was usually responsible for all the housework at home. Now that he was finished, he naturally had to make up for what he had not done before.
He had just finished cleaning the kitchen and was about to start working on the living room when Bi Feiyu stood outside the kitchen window and knocked on the glass: "Executive officer, I want to tell you something."
Yu Dong took the broom and turned around, "What's going on?"
"Yu Hua wants to invite you to dinner tonight, in the large room of Jinling Hotel."
"He invited me to dinner, why did you come?"
Bi Feiyu chuckled: "Because he doesn't know yet."
Yu Dong was stunned, "Well, what do you mean he doesn't know it himself? Don't make a mistake for me. I won't cook at night. If he doesn't invite me to dinner, I will definitely go to your house to eat."
Bi Feiyu waved his hand: "Keep your heart in your stomach. There is no problem with the meal. He has ordered this meal."
Seeing Bi Feiyu's confident look, Yu Dong smiled and asked: "Why, did you catch him by any means? Did he steal your cucumbers a few days ago and you discovered him?"
"What? This guy stole my cucumber again?"
"Ahem, it seems it's not about cucumbers, what is it?"
"It's not about the cucumber, but I still want to trouble him about the cucumber." Bi Feiyu twitched his lips, and then said: "I went to deep space in the morning to deal with the contract, and Yu Hua told me about it.
The global sales of "Alive" have exceeded 10 million."
"Breaking ten million?" Yu Dong said in surprise: "I remember that in August last year, the global sales of "Alive" were only about five million. In less than a year, it has doubled?"
"Isn't it doubled? So I said, Yu Hua must treat him to dinner today. Didn't I come back from deep space and I came to tell you about the meal before I even found him?"
Immediately, Bi Feiyu smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, we have agreed on the meal, I will go find him now."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Bi Feiyu left, Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile: "Teacher Bi is so interesting. He didn't even tell Yu Hua about it, so he decided to let Yu Hua
Hua invites you to dinner."
Yu Dong laughed: "I must invite Yu Hua to this meal. His royalties are extremely high now. A meal is nothing..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud voice coming from Yu Hua's house: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
…
It was "impossible" to invite Yu Hua to dinner, but Bi Feiyu and others took her to the Jinling Hotel.
Bi Feiyu called all the friends he usually played with, made a big room, ordered a table of sumptuous dishes, and even raided two bottles of Maotai that Yu Hua had collected for more than a year.
When Maotai was opened, two words could be seen on Yu Hua's face: distressed.
In fact, none of them lacked a meal, but Yu Hua's heartache was real.
The main reason is that they are together, except for Yu Dong, who likes to take advantage of each other.
Today Yu Hua is going to steal a few cucumbers planted by Bi Feiyu, tomorrow Bi Feiyu is going to rub a bottle of ink from Yu Hua, and the day after tomorrow Mo Yan is going to pick up some stacks of manuscript paper from Yu Hua's house and tell Yu Hua that he doesn't need it anyway.
Wang Xiaobo was very good when he first came here and was different from them, but he soon learned their bad habits.
Wang Xiaobo borrowed less than half of the books in Yu Dong's study, and Wang Xiaobo even claimed to be helping Yu Dong share the storage pressure.
However, from Yu Dong's point of view, it is quite interesting that they spend every day trying to take advantage of others, which is also a hobby in life.
Halfway through the meal, Bi Feiyu looked at Yu Dong again and started to have thoughts about Yu Dong.
"Executive member, do you know why the sales of "Alive" suddenly surged this year?"
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Why, because this novel is becoming more and more famous."
As soon as Yu Hua heard Bi Feiyu's words, he knew that Bi Feiyu was plotting against Yu Dong, so he took over the conversation and said: "It is true that he is becoming more and more famous, but it is mainly because of "Old Book". "Old Book" sells well."
, and by the way, it also boosted the sales of "Alive"."
Bi Feiyu nodded and said: "Well, that's the truth. Comrade Yu Hua, you are not greedy for credit. I also heard from Yu Liang today that the sales volume of "Old Book" will soon exceed 40 million copies. Yu Liang said that when it exceeds 40 million copies,
With tens of millions of copies, we will organize an event."
"what activity?"
"He didn't say that, but it's not important. What's important is that Comrade Yu Hua's sales exceeded 10 million copies and he happily treated us to dinner. Your sales volume is about to exceed 40 million copies. Not to mention four meals, at least
Please treat me to a meal."
Yu Dong curled his lips and glanced at Yu Hua: "I have a new understanding of the word refreshing today."
Yu Hua waved his hands and said: "The process is not important, what is important is the result."
Seeing them singing along, Yu Dong smiled and said, "Okay, okay, once the sales of "Old Book" exceed 40 million, I will treat you all to dinner."
…
"How many sales of "Old Book" have there been? Let's just talk about the data."
Jimmy took the data sent by Canbot without opening it and directly asked Canbot for the results.
Cambot said with a smile: "According to our current statistics, we are still more than two million away from 40 million, but I think we can already start the plan. When the plan officially starts, the sales figures will definitely be reached."
Jimmy nodded. Cambot was right, but it was only short of more than two million sales. It would definitely be achieved in less than a month.
Moreover, their statistical data was originally delayed, and the actual sales volume must have exceeded the statistical data.
"Then let's start the plan."
"Is there anything that needs to be modified in the plan that was made before?"
Jimmy squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No need to change, the whole plan is good, just follow the plan step by step."
"I see."
Cambot nodded and left Jimmy's office holding the materials.
The so-called plan is actually a book signing promotion plan.
For the work on "Heartbeat", Yu Dong will come to the United States in August.
Since he is coming, he cannot come in vain, so Jimmy plans to arrange several autograph sessions for Yu Dong and the others.
It just so happened that the sales volume of "Old Book" was close to 40 million copies, so Cambot and the others formulated a publicity plan to launch a celebratory book signing using the 40 million copies as a gimmick.
After the plan is launched, Deep Space will launch a poll on Amazon’s official website to allow readers to select the city for this signing.
In addition, Deep Space is also preparing to collaborate with Amazon and Flash Printing Company to create a commemorative card event.
Deep Sky will first design a set of patterns containing elements such as "old book" and "40 million" as the front of the commemorative card. The pattern on the back will be chosen by the readers. They can choose from the gallery provided by Flash Print, or
Design it yourself.
But no matter what, this commemorative card is unique because it will have the serial number of the user ordering the commemorative card.
This commemorative card will not be the last. In the future, Deep Space Company will still make it if the sales of other works exceed a certain sales level.
For example, "Old Book", Deep Space will continue to be produced, and there will be 50 million, 60 million, 70 million in the future... Jimmy's goal is to make the global sales of "Old Book" exceed 100 million, because he can see that this novel
There is this potential.
…
On July 11th, Deep Space Company's publicity plan was launched.
When Jessica and Hardison went to the bookstore, they first saw the poster at the door.
"The sales of "Old Book" exceeded 40 million!" Hardison exclaimed in surprise.
Jessica curled her lips: "Is it very high? At that time, the sales volume of "Old Book" on the first day was more than eight million copies."
"That was different. There was strong publicity at that time, and there were many people who pre-ordered on the Amazon website. Moreover, I know that some people bought more than one copy in order to increase sales of "Old Books". Do you know Lucy in our class?
She bought ten copies that day, and anyone in our class who didn’t buy one would get one as a gift. Later, these increased sales were basically real.”
"I only care about whether the book is good or not. I don't care about the sales volume."
Jessica said something and was about to walk into the bookstore, but Hardison held her back: "There are other contents on this poster, please continue reading. It says, in order to celebrate this time
Sales volume has exceeded 40 million, and YU will hold several book signings in the United States. Deep Space Company has launched a voting on Amazon’s official website, and readers can log on to the website to vote for the city where they want YU to hold book signings.”
After hearing Hardison's words, Jessica turned her head again and looked at the poster.
Hardison smiled and continued: "Also, this time Deep Space released another card to commemorate the sales of "Old Book" exceeding 40 million. It can be customized on Amazon's official website. Doesn't your grandma like YU very much?
, you can customize a card to give to her."
Jessica bit her lip and thought for a while, "But I'm not very good at..."
"It's okay, I'll help you get it, how about it?"
Jessica nodded: "Okay."
