Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

"290 million favorites, wow, that's crazy."

"This must be the highest record before the new book was released."

"Hmm, even more ferocious than the previous Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King."

Seeing the 290 million collections of "Rebirth of Urban Immortal Cultivation", a group of authors in the industry gasped.

Such a number.

This applies to new authors, veteran authors, and even top-tier authors.

Even for platinum authors.

These are all extremely alarming numbers when it comes to collecting.

"I heard that 'Rebirth of an Urban Immortal' will be available for purchase this Sunday."

"Correct."

"Why didn't you wait a moment?"

"What are you waiting for? The word count is up, and the publication period is over. It's time to publish it."

"I mean, it'll look better and sound more impressive if we wait until it has 300 million favorites before putting it on sale."

"Haha, it doesn't really make a big difference. What status does Bu Yangshen have? Don't worry about the word count. What I'm really looking forward to is how many pre-orders Bu Yangshen's new book will get."

"No need to guess, it's definitely a record-breaking achievement."

"Breaking records is a given, given the sheer volume of this collection. But how many more first-day subscriptions it will surpass is really hard to guess."

This situation has sparked heated discussions among SkyNet's authors.

Although they know they may never achieve it in their lifetime.

But that doesn't stop everyone from discussing it.

At the same time, they are also very much looking forward to it.

After all, the higher the subscription rate of the top players in the industry, the greater the industry's potential.

"I think we should be able to break 10 first-day subscriptions."

"10 initial subscriptions? That's terrifying. I don't think it's possible."

"Why not? 290 million collections! I'd say 10 initial subscriptions is a small number."

"You can't calculate it like that. While a collection worth 290 million is impressive, there's some exaggeration in the value of that collection."

"You mean Bu Yang Shen increased the number of favorites?"

"I didn't say that. What I meant by 'inflated' is not that Bu Yang Shen boosted the number of favorites. What I meant by 'inflated' is that a large number of readers registered, probably just to post comments. But if we were to actually get them to subscribe, it's not certain that we could convert them into subscribers."

"I share this concern. With 290 million favorites, and then tens of thousands more added every day. A lot of the increase in favorites is just that—an increase in favorites. As for whether they can become legitimate users, only heaven knows."

but.

Xiao Chao, a data enthusiast who has always been very knowledgeable about the industry, also stepped forward at this time.

"Brothers, I predict that Bu Yangshen's new book should break 10 in first-day subscriptions."

Xiao Chao is out.

The group of authors exclaimed in surprise.

"10 initial subscriptions?"

"Correct."

"Brother Xiao Chao, are you sure?"

"determine."

Have you compiled the statistics?

"This data cannot be collected at the moment; it can only be collected after they subscribe."

"Then your guess is far too exaggerated."

What does 10 initial orders mean?
The highest starting price is only 15.

This 15 average daily subscription is for the currently serialized novel, "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

If it's an initial subscription of 10.

Based on future growth trends, he will definitely break the 20 average daily sales mark.

In other words.

"Rebirth of an Urban Immortal" aims to break the record set by "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality".

"It's not an exaggeration at all. Just look at the comments on Bu Yangshen's new book; almost every paragraph has 999+ comments."

"That's not how it works. The 999+ comments are real, but you can post comments freely without paying or subscribing. When it comes to real money, of course some readers will subscribe, but only a small minority."

"Have you ever thought about this? This commentary can't be found on pirated websites."

"what."

This said.

Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Chao hit the nail on the head.

Yes.

Why did Chen Yang suggest that Qidian introduce paragraph reviews?

Besides the fact that this feature is interesting...

That's the commentary; it's not available on pirated websites.

It's not that pirated websites can't create such a function.

Because pirate websites are inherently illegal.

If this were to become a commentary section...

Then it involves registration, membership, and so on.

This necessitates the addition of servers and a series of operations and management personnel.

They were already acting furtively.

To do something so high-profile is practically suicidal.

and so.

Such paragraph comments have become a specialty of formal reading platforms.

It was fine during the free period.

You can still read the comments in some of the earlier public chapters even if you don't subscribe.

However, once it's listed and a fee is charged, it becomes available.

Not only can you not see the paid chapters, you also can't see the paragraph comments.

For many people, if they can't see the paragraph comments, so be it.

but.

Those book lovers who have gradually gotten used to reading the book and the commentary at the same time... they absolutely cannot stand it.

then.

Such legitimate conversions naturally emerged.

In reality.

As the starting point, they were the first to know.

How many first-time subscriptions will "Rebirth of an Urban Immortal" have with 290 million favorites?

The starting point cannot be calculated yet.

but.

According to the backend data...

However, they saw a large number of friends who had not previously recharged their accounts start recharging and becoming VIPs.

In here.

Some of them had previously topped up their accounts, then stopped topping up, and then started to top up again.

Some people have never recharged before and are making their first recharge.

This also excited the stationmaster, Bao Jianfeng.

Seeing a large number of readers opening VIP accounts, Bao Jianfeng sent Chen Yang a message: "God Bu Yang, keep it up! Update a few chapters when it goes on sale!"

"I have to update this chapter a lot! I've prepared 10 chapters."

"Brilliant."

"By the way, Baojian, how many first-day subscriptions do you expect 'Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator' to break?"

"I don't know yet. However, it's probably more than what people outside are guessing."

You mean 10?

"Yes, but it will be a bit more than 10."

"Isn't that a bit too little?"

"Good lad, you still think 10 is too little?"

"It's a bit low. After all, it has 290 million favorites."

"Hehe, 290 million favorites, do you expect all 290 million readers to subscribe to your book?"

"I hadn't thought of it that way. But I had considered a 10:1 subscription-to-receiver ratio."

"10:1 subscription ratio, 29 first-time subscriptions... Holy crap, don't scare me."

"Uh, isn't this a bit difficult?"

"What do you mean 'a little difficult'? This is an epic level of difficulty. Our prediction is that we can probably get 15 first-day subscriptions, and we'll have to pray to God if we get 20."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Although it hasn't been officially released yet, the exact number of initial orders is unknown.

But Baojian has data to predict, and the prediction should be pretty accurate.

However, Chen Yang, as the author, also has his own methods for increasing subscriptions.

First one, a massive update!

For a long time, releasing large amounts of content at once has been one of the best ways to boost subscriptions.
These days, Chen Yang has been spending most of his time in front of the computer writing, trying to save as many chapters as possible.

Although this burst of updates cannot continue indefinitely.

However, the frequent updates during the days since it was released have been very effective.

another.

Arrange a suitable plot.

According to the VIP reading rules, subscriptions on Qidian are made chapter by chapter.

Generally, what attracts the most subscribers is the plot that happens to be the most suitable and climactic.

If you write the plot during the setup phase or the climax has just ended when the story is released.

The readers' desire to read was not as strong as before.

Many experienced authors will deliberately create a climax before the book is published.

That is, just right.

The climax arrived when it was released.

At this point, even those who don't want to subscribe may still find themselves drawn in by the excellent climax and the emotional impact.

They will also subscribe.

Chen Yang didn't intentionally create a climax.

However, before the first 200 million words of "Rebirth of an Urban Immortal Cultivator", almost every chapter was extremely engaging for readers.

In other words.

To be honest, this book...

Before he reached 200 million words, he didn't have any so-called calm periods; basically, every chapter was a climax.

Even if it's not the climax, it's still highly anticipated.

……

Sunday.

For many people.

It was an ordinary Sunday.

But for the online literature industry, today is definitely a day that deserves the attention of countless people.

Chen Yang's new book, "Rebirth of an Urban Immortal Cultivator," will be officially released at midnight tonight.

A group of book lovers, industry authors, and editors are all focused on Qidian.

It's not just them.

In traditional literary circles, many literary friends are also discussing Chen Yang's new book on Quncheng.

"Dear teachers, Professor Chen Yang's new book will be available tonight. There are rumors that this book may break records again."

You mean subscription?

"Correct."

"It is said that the first order may exceed 10."

What does it mean to have over 10 initial orders?

"Well... all I can say is that with over 10 initial subscriptions, his monthly royalties from just Qidian alone will exceed one million. And with such record-breaking subscriptions, plus distribution channels and copyright fees... it'll be at least tens of millions. If the IP becomes a hit, he might just be the next Dragon Snake."

"The next dragon or snake, my goodness."

In the past, traditional authors might have been somewhat aloof.

However, as Chen Yang established his position in the industry, traditional authors no longer dared to ignore the influence of online literature.

even.

Under Chen Yang's influence.

They have subconsciously categorized online literature as part of the mainstream.

……

It's not just them.

Among them are a number of big names in the film and television industry.

"Old Wang, you're something else, you actually stole a chicken."

Han Sanping made an appointment with Wang Changtian from Enlight Media and General Manager Wang from Wanda Group.

As soon as Wang Changtian arrived, Han Sanping said, "I was really out of my mind at the time. I thought Chen Yang's old book, 'I Come From Billions of Light Years,' had been banned, so I never thought of buying the copyright. I never expected that you would buy it."

Wang Changtian smiled and said, "President Han, what are you talking about? You have a Dragon Snake in your hands, what more do you want? How about we switch?"

Mr. Wang from Wanda also said, "You two guys each have a big IP, but I don't. But Chang Tian, ​​what's the deal with your collaboration with Chen Yang? I heard you bought the rights to 'I Come From Billions of Light Years.' But Chen Yang is currently writing 'Rebirth of an Urban Immortal.'"

"This is a bit complicated. Actually, the two books are sister books. I originally wanted to buy 'I Come From Billions of Light Years' because of Chen Beixuan's IP. But that book was banned before, and Teacher Chen Yang felt a bit regretful, so he wanted to rewrite it, which led to this book, 'Rebirth of Urban Immortal Cultivation'."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Mr. Wang, the general manager of Wanda, nodded: "I heard that this book will be officially released tonight."

"Correct."

"There's still a possibility of breaking the record."

"Well, I don't know much about online serializations. But the character Chen Beixuan is getting more and more popular."

"I suggest you get another agreement with Teacher Chen Yang to buy back 'Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator' as well. Otherwise, if Director Han buys 'Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator' directly, who will you complain to?"

"Pfft..."

Han Sanping retorted, somewhat annoyed, "Old Wang, you're such a jerk!"

Wang Changtian gave a thumbs-up to Wang, the general manager of Wanda: "Old Wang, awesome! I'll revise the agreement later, so that someone doesn't actually snatch it away. Otherwise, we'll have to go to court again, which would be a real headache."

"Hahaha……"

The three of them laughed.

for them.

They didn't quite understand how many subscriptions were required for "Rebirth of an Urban Immortal".

But what they know is that this IP is likely to explode again.

However, Han Sanping also said, "President Wang, Chen Beixuan is also in my Dragon and Snake 4. In fact, we portrayed this character quite a bit. Now that I see it, I'm glad I've been advertising for you guys. Shouldn't you give me some kickbacks?"

"Director Han, don't say that. Dragon and Snake isn't just an IP. If Dragon and Snake does well, everyone does well. In the future, Dragon and Snake will create other series of heroes. We complement each other and work together to expand Teacher Chen Yang's online novel universe."

"That's some serious talking skills."

Han Sanping was obviously joking.

As for Mr. Wang of Wanda, who didn't get the copyright, he was somewhat envious.

But for Wanda, it's not a bad thing either.

Whether it's China Film Group or Light & Light Media Group.

As long as they produce a series of good films, they will be shown in Wanda Cinemas.

The more they earn, the more Wanda earns.

It would be best to obtain the copyright.

Even if we can't get it, it's okay.

But that's what I said.

Wang, the CEO of Wanda Group, was also calculating in his heart.

He wanted to meet with Chen Yang sometime to see if he could also acquire a super IP from Chen Yang.

……

Time slipped by slowly.

It will be midnight soon.

The starting point was the first to act.

Although it won't be available until midnight.

However, Qidian (the platform) started half an hour earlier, giving Chen Yang a promotional push for the release of "Rebirth of Urban Immortal Cultivation".

This advertisement is more than just an advertisement.

He also organized an event.

Fans who subscribe to "Rebirth of Urban Immortal Cultivation" can receive a "Rebirth of Urban Immortal Cultivation" pendant.

The widget is virtual.

However, it can be displayed in the book review section as a personalized decoration.

Also.

Qidian is still sending notifications to all users on its app about the release of "Rebirth of an Urban Immortal".

What's even more outrageous is...

When the time comes to 0 o'clock.

However, Qidian placed "Rebirth of Urban Immortal Cultivation" on its top promotional page.

Ok.

You read that right.

It's a major push.

Generally speaking.

Because being featured on social media involves absorbing subscriptions.

Some works receive major promotions, often after reaching 100 million or even 200 million words.

Even those with excellent grades still need to write hundreds of thousands of words before they can finish.

but now.

No chapters of "Rebirth of an Urban Immortal" have been released yet, and the VIP chapters still have 0 words.

It only enabled the listing function.

The featured recommendation has arrived!!! (End of Chapter)
