Chapter 86: Interview Report
Before going to bed that night, the first chapter of "Buddha is the Way" had risen to 12,000, and the average subscription had exceeded 10,000, becoming the first novel at the starting point to have an average subscription of more than 10,000.
However, although the monthly pass has risen to more than 1,000, it still does not exceed the blood-red "Evil Wind Song", but it is not much closer.
Although Xuehong has also turned on the codeword mode and desperately updated, it is not far from Wei Mingrang's daily guarantee of 12,000 words plus monthly pass plus more words, but Wei Mingrang's "Buddha is the Way" is entering the climax plot of the earth fairy world.
The display of the desolate world made the readers very enthusiastic about voting, and they all wanted Wei Ming to hurry up and add more, and see the later plot earlier, the gap between the number of monthly votes and "Evil Wind Song" has narrowed to less than 100.
Early the next morning, Wei Mingrang woke up after a good night's sleep and found that "Buddha is the Way" had caught up with "Evil Wind Song" and ranked fourth in the overall monthly ticket list.
Wei Mingrang updated the guaranteed 4 chapters plus the monthly pass plus the change, and then went out for a while, and then came back to change clothes and go to breakfast.
When it was close to 9 o'clock, Wei Mingrang rushed to the agreed office of the old campus to be interviewed by the "Chongqing Evening News".
After a while, the school office staff walked in with a reporter wearing a press card.
As soon as they introduced each other, it turned out that the reporter of "Chongqing Evening News" was a graduate of the original Chongqing Business School, and he was regarded as Wei Mingrang's alumni brother, so he could be contacted by the school to give Wei Mingrang an exclusive interview.
The senior brother's name is Shan Jianyu, he brought a camera, took two photos of Wei Mingrang first, and then started a question-and-answer interview.
Before coming, Shan Jianyu knew some basic information about Wei Mingrang, but he knew almost nothing about online novels.
An interview on the scene surprised him.
It turned out that Wei Mingrang earned two or three thousand yuan by picking tea during the summer vacation, and then earned 80,000 yuan in three days after opening the school, and then wrote the novel "Buddha is the Way" to create a number of online records, self-taught lyrics and music to write popular new songs such as "I Believe".
Wei Mingrang is simply a talented winner in life.
The entertainment edition of "Chongqing Evening News" published in the evening of the same day published an interview with Wei Mingrang: "Singer + Internet Writer, Interview with Mingqiao, a talented son of Chongqing Technology and Business University"
Shan Jianyu himself was invited by his alma mater to interview Wei Mingrang to promote the school, so he was very attentive and artistically processed the original materials from the interview.
In the end, Wei Mingrang, who is presented in front of the reader, is a rural baby from a small county in the mountainous area of Zunyi, Guizhou Province, who was admitted to Chongqing Technology and Business University, earned his own living expenses and flew out of the mountain, and then found business opportunities as soon as he arrived at the university and decisively set up a stall to earn 80,000 yuan in three days.
In terms of songs, "I Believe" has been broadcast in the Sound of Music column of China Central Radio, and most of the radio stations and music websites in other provinces and cities have also entered the top of the new song list and hot song list, and they are popular all over the country.
Although there are no commercial performance invitations yet, the fame has gone out, and there will be no fewer channels to make money in the future.
Fiction is much more intuitive.
According to the data of the interview, Wei Mingrang's "Buddha is the Way" is currently the highest subscribed and best-selling online novel on the whole network, with daily sales of more than 10,000 yuan on the first day of its release, and Wei Mingrang can share more than 5,000 yuan of income.
Not to mention the possible publication and adaptation in the future, just the existing electronic subscription, Wei Mingrang will be at the level of more than 100,000 monthly income of electronic remuneration.
In 2005, the monthly income was more than 100,000 yuan and the annual salary was more than 1 million, which was simply breathtaking.
After the report came out, it was reprinted on the Internet by several portals.
As a result, the streets and alleys of Chongqing, post bars, various QQ groups, various website forums, and even netizens across the country are full of discussions about Mingqiao.
"Damn, I saw a news today that the original creator of "I Believe" even writes online novels, with an annual income of more than 1 million. ”
"Really, what's a web novel, so easy to make?"
"I know that even novels that are serialized on the Internet, some of them have also been published as physical books, and my son rents online novels in a bookstore every day to read them. What "Ethereal Journey" and "Legend of Little Soldiers", I took a look, the text is quite shallow, but the story is really good. ”
"Is it so lucrative to write online novels?"
"How is it possible, this is gifted. Just like writing a song, Ming Qiao's first song "I Believe" became popular all over the country, can other people write a song casually to reach his level?"
"That's it, not to mention that Ming Qiao said in the interview that he updates more than 10,000 words every day, which is scary. When we think about the difficulty of writing an 800-word essay when we are studying, we have to scratch our scalps. ”
"This is a talented, but very hard-working, rural college student, and he deserves his success. ”
"Yes, although I envy him, it's really hard, it's not easy, I like him!"
"Chongqing Technology and Business University is amazing, my daughter will take the college entrance examination next year, and I will let her take the entrance examination to this school. ”
"I also tried to write online novels to see if I could earn a manuscript fee. ”
"I think you have to take a look at Ming Qiao's "Buddha is the Way" to see what kind of money-making online novels are. ”
"Well, yes, I'll take a look first. ”
The reports reprinted from newspapers to websites have allowed Wei Ming to have many new readers, clicks, recommendations, subscriptions, and monthly passes to a higher level again.
That night, the number of monthly votes for "Buddha is the Way" surpassed "Blasphemy" and ranked third, approaching the second-place "Face-Changing Samurai" and the first-place "The Gentleman's Disciple".
In the author group, a group of authors discussed Wei Mingrang's report.
"Today, "Chongqing Evening News" published an interview report about Ming Qiao, have you read it?"
"Newspaper interview so soon?"
"I watched,, envy and jealousy!"
"The life of the open hanger does not need to be explained, Mingqiao is to open the online literature and rivers and lakes. ”
"Alas, a great god is rising, and I don't know how long it will take to earn my first manuscript fee. ”
……
The layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Ordinary people and netizens just watched it strangely, learned about the concept of online novels, and knew that online novels were so profitable, but people in the industry saw more things.
Originally, there were brokerage companies behind ordinary singers, and there were very few grassroots singers like Mingqiao who suddenly appeared.
Therefore, after Wei Mingrang's song "I Believe" came out, everyone did not go to Wei Mingrang for the first time.
But now, after seeing the "Chongqing Evening News" reprinted by Sohu on the Internet, a Shanghai-based entertainment brokerage company found that Ming Qiao was only a first-year college student and had no brokerage company at all, and immediately became excited.
This is a coincidence, not only is he talented in writing songs and singing, but he can also write online novels, and he has a lot of achievements, and he is born a star!
And there are no brokers or brokerage companies, and if you catch it, it's a big cash cow!
So, the brokerage company hurriedly took action and inquired about collecting various information and contact information from Mingqiao.
