Chapter 273: The Legend of Wukong is published: Su Yang starts live broadcast promotion
The single sold over 100 million copies, breaking new records, and skyrocketing popularity. It was singled out for praise by major media outlets and became famous in Europe and the United States...
All of this had little impact on Su Yang's life. After releasing this single, Su Yang lay down again, spending every day at home with his wife. When he had nothing to do, he would redeem some works from the system and copy them down.
During this period, Su Yang drew a few more prizes, thinking he had mastered the lottery machine. But after fifty consecutive draws, all he got was "Thank you for your patronage", which made Su Yang very depressed.
The days of winning without doing anything went by quickly. Su Yang was so bored that he almost turned his home into a library. Now Su Yang reads books when he has nothing to do, and the books he reads are so varied.
The magical eagle eye function has greatly improved Su Yang's learning ability, and the more knowledge he learns, the more he feels that he knows too little.
In addition, Su Yang was very smart and quick-witted. Therefore, many books did not seem to put any pressure on him. He even picked up mathematics after a long time of neglect. During this period, he would get a blackboard to write and draw when he had nothing to do, showing the aura of a top student.
For Su Yang, these things were just props to kill time. As for whether they were used or not, Su Yang didn't care too much.
However, after reading so many books, Su Yang's horizons have also been broadened a lot. Many times, his perspective on problems has changed, and his perspective on solving problems has become more professional and mature.
For example, Song Dazui. If it had happened when they had just gotten married, Song Dazui would have been left speechless this time.
But now that his grades had truly reached the mark, Su Yang stopped @Song Dazui and stopped arguing with him. Su Yang felt that arguing with him would be a step down. In Su Yang's eyes, Song Dazui was just a clown.
"Hello, Mr. Su Yang, hello..."
Just when Su Yang was bored, a phone call made him laugh.
It was a call from the publishing house, telling Su Yang that "The Legend of Wukong" was about to be released. This novel is very famous on the Internet, so the publishing house acted quickly.
After signing the contract, I left to organize the typesetting, get the book number, and then produce exquisite illustrations and print.
Considering Su Yang's huge popularity, the publishing house was very bold this time and printed five million copies in the first batch.
The book on sale this time is a hardcover edition with illustrations. It is well-made and contains beautiful illustrations. Su Yang was even consulted for his opinion on these illustrations.
The hardcover edition is priced at 49.8 yuan in China. It's a nationally unified retail price. Su Yang doesn't know what the publisher will charge bookstores, but he does know how much he can earn.
The 10% royalty was calculated based on the retail price. In other words, for every side of "Wukong Biography" printed, the publisher had to pay Su Yang 4.98 yuan in royalties.
The first printing has already produced five million copies, and the publisher has to pay Su Yang around 25 million in royalties alone. Such royalties are already quite impressive in the writer's circle.
But this amount of money is nothing to Su Yang. This bastard now makes money in the billions. For example, this single has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. With such sales, Su Yang can get 200 to 300 million in dividends just from this single. At this rate of making money, 25 million in royalties is nothing.
But from Su Yang's perspective, publishing this book was pretty cool. After all, I was going to be a literary figure from now on.
Those in the literary world might not earn as much, and their fame isn't as high as those in the entertainment industry. But they hold a high standard. When you think of writers, they're just intellectuals. Actors, on the other hand, are just actors. Literature can last for a long time, but actors can't. Their popularity might fade away after a short while.
Therefore, in the contempt chain, although writers do not earn as much as actors and singers, they still look down on these people in their hearts.
For Su Yang, high standards were enough. Although this book was despised by traditional writers, there were still many other great books in the system. In the future, being a writer would be quite impressive.
Su Yang hung up the phone. This time, the publishing house called him. On the one hand, it was to inform Su Yang. But the main purpose was to hope that Su Yang would work hard to promote his book. After all, it was a win-win situation for both parties. The better the sales, the more money Su Yang and the publishing house would make.
“How to promote it?”
Su Yang narrowed his eyes and pondered. Simply posting a Weibo seemed too low-class.
“How about live streaming and selling goods?”
Su Yang suddenly had a bold idea. Livestreaming to sell goods. More and more artists were doing this in the industry. The best livestreamers were incredibly famous. For example, some of the most powerful livestreamers in China had incredible sales potential, earning billions annually just from livestreaming. Many of the entertainment industry's top stars were jealous.
However, most popular artists still care about their reputation. After all, many artists use up their popularity by promoting products, unless the products they promote are of good quality and cost-effective.
But to put it bluntly, manufacturers' products are good, with a high price-performance ratio, so they can still sell a lot of products without live streaming. Many products are sold by live streamers because they are often inferior products that are sold as high-quality products, as these products have higher profits. After all, the commissions that live streamers take for live streaming products are very high, often 10% or even higher. Some good products may not even make as much profit as the live streamer's commission, so why would they let live streamers promote their products?
“It seems the product is a bit monotonous.”
Su Yang pondered. If he opened a livestream and only promoted "Wukong Biography," it would seem the product offerings would be too limited. He was already putting his reputation aside to promote the product, so why not add more products?
Su Yang began to think about it. If he wanted to sell goods, he would definitely not look for merchants to cooperate with like others. He didn't need that little money. Besides, it was his first time, and he just wanted to have fun and kill some time.
In that case, let’s just count what we can bring.
The hardcover edition of "The Legend of Sun Wukong", Su Xiaobai, Qin Shuyao and his own album, after counting them all, it seems that these are the only things he has.
"What the hell, just start the live broadcast and give fans some benefits."
After the calculation, Su Yang directly gave up the idea of live streaming to sell goods.
Damn, there are only a few of these things. It would be fine if there were only a few of them. But the prices are so cheap. If I make a small profit by selling these products, I will attract more criticism than I can handle.
Instead of that, it would be better to broadcast it yourself and give benefits to fans. This can also play an alternative role in publicity.
Thinking of this, Su Yang had an idea in his mind.
"Hey, Xiao Liu, please help me do something."
Su Yang picked up the phone and called his assistant at the company. Su Yang was now the program director of Qingyao Media, a vice president-level figure, so having an assistant was normal. However, Su Yang's assistant was often just a decoration. He was busy when he was busy, sleepy when he was not. When Su Yang was not at work, he had nothing to do. So, most of the time, he became Su Yang's little henchman. Whenever Su Yang felt like doing something, he would call him. He was free anyway.
Time passed quickly. Three days later, when everything was ready, Su Yang posted a Weibo, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"I'm free, so I'll do a livestream at 8pm tonight. I'll also be giving some gifts to my fans. Don't miss it if you're passing by..."
In the morning, Su Yang posted a Weibo. Seeing the news of this Weibo, fans started to cry out.
This is the first time Su Yang has started broadcasting. Fans are looking forward to it. After all, Su Yang is very funny and so popular. If he opens a live broadcast room, he must sing a few songs. As for the fan benefits, many fans are even more excited, wondering what Su Yang will give out.
This news spread quickly on the Chinese Internet. With Su Yang having more than 30 million fans, the news spread very quickly.
Soon, the news of Su Yang's evening live broadcast became a hot search topic. Seeing the trending topic, many artists felt uncomfortable. Damn, this popularity is too incredible. The live broadcast hasn't even started yet, and just mentioning this news has already made it to the trending search. This traffic is really enviable.
If you have this much traffic, why don't you work hard to make money? And Su Yang, this bastard, has such high popularity and traffic, but he actually becomes a Buddhist. It's really infuriating.
As night fell, before 8 p.m., Weibo officially opened a live broadcast room for Su Yang. Although the live broadcast had not yet begun, a large number of fans and netizens had already flocked to the room and started discussing it heatedly.
Seeing the rising popularity of the live broadcast room, many people swallowed their saliva. Especially some anchors who sell goods, they were so envious. If their own live broadcast room had this much popularity, how much goods would they have to sell?
Before 8 o'clock, the number of people online in the live broadcast room exceeded 10 million, which is a terrifying number. Su Yang did not buy traffic or use water army to increase the number of people.
This is the real number of online users. Although many online celebrities or live streamers sometimes have high online users, sometimes exceeding 10 million, they know the real number of users best. A lot of traffic is paid for by them, directly diverted by the official, and a large part is professional water army to increase the number of users.
Sometimes the actual number of people online might not even be one tenth of the total. And since Su Yang's first broadcast was purely for fun, there was no need to spend money to attract traffic.
It is precisely because of this that many people envy such popularity.
"Hi everyone, can you see me?"
At eight o'clock in the evening, Su Yang appeared in the live broadcast room. Su Yang was facing the camera and adjusting the angle. Seeing Su Yang coming out, the live broadcast room completely exploded. Su Yang didn't have time to read the messages in the live broadcast room. What's more terrifying is that Su Yang just said a word, and then the gifts in the live broadcast room completely flew up, rockets one after another. This situation not only confused netizens, but also confused Su Yang who had just opened the live broadcast room. What the hell is going on? Are the official rockets free today?
