How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 113: Results Exploded (Subscribe)

The Mid-Autumn moon was bright and round. Jiang Yu sat by the French window of the hotel, watching the Blueberry Channel Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on TV. Su Muwan's performance had already ended. She had sung her new song "Rewind," which had been released today, at the Blueberry Channel Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and it had received a very positive response.

Jiang Yu looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky outside the window. It was big and round. There were not many people in the hotel today. Everyone had gone home to celebrate the holiday.

Only he, who has no home and no family, would stay alone in this hotel.

In this world, with both parents gone, there's no point in interacting with those so-called relatives. Before the collapse, everyone had been so concerned about him. But after the accident, none of them had contacted him. Now that they see he's getting better, some have started contacting him again, asking if he wants to come back home for Mid-Autumn Festival.

Jiang Yu had long since given up on everything and hadn't gone back. Without his parents, his hometown wasn't his home anymore.

His original parents were long gone, and he no longer had any ties to anything in this world.

Jiang Yu didn't buy mooncakes or anything like that. After writing a novel tonight, he just ordered takeout. He was alone, so he didn't have to be so particular.

This week is Mid-Autumn Festival, and next week is National Day, so he doesn't have much to do. The "Walk and Sing" program will not start recording until after National Day, and the production team will contact him then.

In the next two weeks, he just needs to write novels and practice singing.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the recommendations for the new edition of the novel "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" have come to an end, and it is time for it to be put on the shelves.

"Master, the new book recommendation is finished. I've set it up for release tomorrow at 12 noon. If you have any manuscripts saved, please try to update more often."

Editor Mingyue came to see Jiang Yu a day in advance and told him about the listing.

The one-month new book season has already passed, and after topping the new book charts, it hasn't come down since. Now that the season is over, it's finally down. Currently, it has around 200,000 collections, and after the Sanjiang period ended, it's been followed up with around 70,000. This is already a very good result, comparable to some of the most popular authors.

As a newcomer, Jiang Yu's first book, which is also about a relatively niche genre of tomb raiding, has achieved such a good result, which is already very impressive. If you don't know him, seeing the results of his new book, you might think he is some popular author.

Mingyue attaches great importance to the book "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". This is his performance this year. Based on the current results, it may not be a problem for him to maintain tens of thousands of average subscriptions, win the title of Newcomer of the Year, or even become a legend with one book.

He was a new editor, and his previous performance had been poor. Now that he had finally come across Jiang Yu's book, he was determined to seize the opportunity. Within his ability, he recommended everything to Jiang Yu.

During this time, he had become quite the star in the editorial department. Many editors were even a little jealous of him. Initially, the other editors had refused to sign the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles." After it entered the Dachi, no editor had signed on. He had taken advantage of the situation and signed the contract out of curiosity after taking a look at the content.

Now, he also felt that he was lucky, otherwise he would have missed such a good book.

"Well, I have some manuscripts saved. I'll put ten chapters up tomorrow."

Jiang Yu has always kept a draft in his archive. He has a good memory, a clear understanding of the content, and a fast typing speed. Every day he writes 10,000 words and posts 4,000 words. Although he has now officially updated 200,000 words, he still has more than 100,000 words in his archive.

"That's good. With the popularity of your book right now, it's easy for you to get over 10,000 first-time orders. Specifically, under normal circumstances, based on this popularity, the first-time orders might be around 40,000. Of course, this is just an estimate. Your book has a very high stickiness, so the first-time orders might be even higher."

A niche genre like Jiang Yu's, and one that's also tomb-raiding, might not have the same traffic as fantasy and urban fantasy novels. But once it becomes popular, readership is incredibly strong. Furthermore, Mingyue feels that "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is well-written and full of suspense, so the initial pre-order figures might be even higher than expected.

"Okay, it's going to be on the shelves tomorrow anyway. We'll know after it's on the shelves."

The next day, Jiang Yu simply sent a message of thanks for the release of the book to inform everyone that it would be released soon, and that he would wait for ten more chapters to be released at noon.

At this moment, major author groups have begun discussing the first order of the book "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

"Grave Robbers' Chronicles is now available. What do you think the first order volume will be?"

"I think it will be around 30,000 to 40,000. How high the subsequent sales will be depends on whether the author can maintain his performance."

"Tsk tsk, Yu Liufeng, I heard he's a newcomer, he's incredible, his first book and he's already doing so well, I'm so envious."

"If he can maintain his current condition, he will definitely be one of the Rookie of the Year or Twelve Heavenly Kings this year."

……

It's not just Jiang Yu and his group of authors who are discussing this. On Yuedian, in the exclusive group for great platinum writers, these great platinum writers at the top of online literature are also discussing Yuedian's latest and very popular new book, "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

"Come on, come on, everyone, guess who this fierce guy's first order is this year."

"Stop guessing. It makes me jealous. Alas, meeting such a newcomer during the new book period and being suppressed by him is embarrassing."

"Haha, Old Liu, you're no good. I see you're third in the new book period, and Yu Liufeng's Grave Robbers' Chronicles has directly surpassed you to take the top spot."

"It's on the shelves. I think he's going to top the monthly ticket list. I won't be releasing any new books this year. I'll see if you guys will be blown away by him."

"How could that be? He's a newcomer on the monthly ticket list, he doesn't have that ability yet, and his fanbase isn't that strong."

"Brother Dong's new book hits the shelves before his. Brother Dong has the highest monthly votes this month. Now that Grave Robbers' Chronicles is on the shelves, are you panicking, Brother Dong?"

"Who is my Dong Ge? Is he the only one who can compare to my Dong Ge?" "Please don't flatter me, I'm also following this Tomb Robbers' Chronicles. This author is really good."

……

A bunch of great writers and platinum players were discussing the launch of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" in the group chat. Dong Ge, one of the supreme gods of online literature and a leading figure in the fantasy field, had already topped the monthly ticket charts just two weeks after its release.

Seeing how intense the book "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is, everyone is joking about whether Brother Dong will be anally raped.

But everyone was just joking. Forget about Brother Dong, the entire monthly ticket leaderboard was filled with established masters and platinum players. It seemed unlikely that a newcomer like Jiang Yu could make it to the top, or even the front.

There's a saying circulating among authors and readers about the monthly ticket rankings. These rankings are reserved for veteran authors and platinum-level masters. While it's easy for regular authors, especially newcomers, to make the list, reaching the top, especially the top ten, is incredibly difficult.

After all, as a new author, you certainly don't have as many fans as these veteran masters, and your fan base is definitely not as large as theirs. It's no problem to be on the monthly ticket list, but it's very difficult to rush to the front and get high exposure and large traffic.

At twelve o'clock noon, as soon as the time came, Jiang Yu directly updated ten chapters, which was considered a burst of updates.

At this moment, he also sent a message to his reader group, asking for support for the first order.

When he first started publishing his book, he had no intention of creating a book club, as he was too lazy to bother with it. However, some book friends later urged him to create one, and the editor also suggested that he could create one, as this would help increase fan stickiness.

Later, he created one and, as a loyal reader, volunteered to help manage the book clubs. From the initial one group, to several groups with thousands of members now, all of them were managed by book club leaders. He also secured dedicated operations management staff for Yuedian, which editor Mingyue had helped him secure.

Generally, the operators on Yuedian only manage Huoshu books that can create value for the platform.

Obviously, Jiang Yu's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" meets this condition.

"Support! I have already subscribed to the full amount!"

"Wow! Master Liu Feng has released ten chapters today. With this attitude towards updating, I will definitely subscribe to all of them to show my support!"

"Grave Robbers' Chronicles is great, keep it up, author. I've subscribed to support it!"

……

After Jiang Yu updated, he checked the backend and found that within ten minutes, the first order had exceeded 2,000.

According to this momentum, it is estimated that the first order may actually be higher than expected.

But he is not in a hurry now. The first order needs to look at the data of 24 hours, and the final number will not be known until tomorrow.

Now, after the update, Jiang Yu went out to eat.

At this moment, in the editorial department of Yuedian Chinese website, Mingyue has been paying close attention to the backend data of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

The first batch of orders exceeded 2,000 in ten minutes, 5,000 in half an hour, and exceeded 10,000 in one hour!
The first order exceeded 10,000 in just one hour!

There is still so much time left. Even if, under normal circumstances, the growth rate will slow down after an hour, the final first-order data will not be too low.

“It feels like it’s going to break 50,000 orders!”

Mingyue was a little excited, and his hand holding the mouse was shaking. He felt that his estimate yesterday was a bit low.

It's on sale today, and I imagine many of my readers who have collected and maintained the book will come out to support it, with some even turning on automatic subscriptions. If that's the case, considering the current 200,000 collection figures for "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," even if only half of them subscribe, it's still a terrifying number.

Of course, this may not be realistic, but with tens of thousands of orders, there should be no problem in breaking 50,000 first orders.

Even other editors are paying attention to the release of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" today.

"Oh my god, Mingyue, at this rate, I'm afraid it's going to break 50,000 orders!"

"Fifty thousand! A new author's first order is fifty thousand! That's incredible! Mingyue, you've got the "sign-in treasure"!"

"I remember Dong Ge's previous first order was 80,000. I feel like this Tomb Raiders Chronicles has a chance to make a big splash."

"It's possible. The publicity department is planning a launch event today. With all the publicity, it's possible."

"If it really goes up, it will break the first-order record set by Brother Dong. Can it be that fierce?"
