Chapter 29 Publicity and Hype
The next morning, he first went to the bank and withdrew 5 yuan in cash.
To ensure the best results, he plans to spend 15 yuan to go all out this time.
As a result, the 424,000 yuan in ringback tone revenue he received in April was almost entirely used up.
However, he is not worried. It is already June 11th. On June 15th, China Mobile's 12530 website will settle his May ringback tone revenue, and his studio's account will have another huge sum of 620,000 yuan.
He believes that spending 5 yuan per song to hire online trolls for hype is something no one has ever done before. After all, it's only 2006, and as the first person to try this, he's bound to achieve very good results.
Wearing sunglasses and a mask, I arrived at Blue Mountain Cafe at the agreed time.
They met Xu Xiaojun, the head of the naval forces, who was waiting there.
With the foundation laid by the previous collaboration, this meeting went very smoothly, and the two parties quickly reached a new cooperation agreement.
At 0.2 yuan per post, a total of 75 posts can be published.
The music videos for the three songs are evenly distributed, with each song generating 250,000 posts.
Among them, there were 5 likes and comments on Tianya Forum and 5 on Baidu Tieba.
On Tudou video website, it has been viewed 25000 times and received 5000 likes and comments; on Youku video website, it has been viewed 25000 times.
It has 5000 views, 25000 views, and 5000 likes and comments on Sohu Video.
The remaining number of posts were distributed among other video websites and the five major music platforms.
The entire promotional campaign was completed in 10 days. This means that on Tianya Forum and Baidu Tieba, each song's music video received more than 5000 posts from paid trolls every day, who liked and commented on it.
On the most popular video websites such as Tudou, Youku, and Sohu, each song's music video receives 2500 views and 500 likes/comments from paid trolls every day.
To be honest, in this day and age, this level of publicity is quite astonishing, and he has high expectations for its effectiveness.
To ensure the quality of the posts, he also prepared dozens of posts for each music video for them to refer to.
Of course, the post wasn't entirely about praising myself; it also praised the song and the female lead, including brief introductions of several of the female leads.
Of course, given the difference in their closeness to each other, the number of praises for Zhou Muyin and Lu Chen in the posts he prepared for his online trolls was definitely greater than the number of praises for Duanmu Chonghui.
Before leaving, Lin Zixuan gave Xu Xiaojun 50,000 yuan in cash and agreed to pay the remaining 100,000 yuan in four days at the same place.
At noon, as agreed, he arrived at a Sichuan restaurant in Zhongguancun, in a private room that he had reserved in advance.
Not long after, Hu Yanyan walked in cheerfully.
Today, Hu Yanyan was probably not out on fieldwork, so she was dressed in a professional outfit: a white shirt, a black pencil skirt with gray stockings, high-heeled sandals, and light makeup—a typical white-collar lady.
Seeing Lin Zixuan, her eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, reaching out to shake Lin Zixuan's hand. "Wow, idol, you're even more handsome than last time!"
"Thank you, you're getting more and more beautiful too, please have a seat."
After sitting down, I called the waiter, ordered the dishes, and asked for a bottle of red wine.
Hu Yanyan took the initiative to speak, "Idol, what's the matter that you asked me out today?"
Lin Zixuan didn't beat around the bush and moved the laptop on the table over. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Take a look at these music videos first."
After saying that, he clicked on the three music videos in turn: "Autumn Never Returns," "Wait a Minute," and "Damn Tenderness."
After watching, Hu Yanyan said, "Actually, I saw these three music videos on your blog last night. Did you film them yourself?"
"Yes, not long ago, I finished filming my scenes for the TV series 'Men's Bottom Line.' After I came back, I asked a senior from the directing department at my school to help me shoot these music videos. How were they?"
"The filming is excellent, perfectly showcasing your handsomeness and making it impossible to look away. I believe that with the release of these three music videos, your fan base will grow rapidly."
At this point, the waiter began to serve the dishes: shredded pork with garlic sauce, Kung Pao chicken, braised beef, sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, Mapo tofu, boiled cabbage in clear broth, and Jianyang mutton soup. The aroma of the dishes immediately filled the air.
After taking a couple of bites of food, Lin Zixuan raised his glass and clinked it with Hu Yanyan's, saying, "Wishing the beautiful Hu Yanyan to become more and more beautiful."
""
.
"I also wish our handsome Lin Zixuan to become more and more handsome and have a bright future in the entertainment industry."
"Reporter Hu."
"Don't call me Reporter Hu anymore. I'm older than you. Call me Sister Yan. I'll call you Zixuan."
"Okay, Sister Yan, could you please do me a favor?"
"Tell me, what do you need my help with?"
"Could you please report on these three music videos of mine on Sina Entertainment?"
"Sure, no problem. Let me ask you a few questions first."
"Alright, Sister Yan, please go ahead."
"My first question is, why did you decide to make a music video?"
"Sister Yan, don't laugh at me, it's naturally for fame, to let more people know me. After all, people in our line of work need to be well-known."
"Then why don't you join a record company?"
"Sister Yan, now is such a good time to join a record company. The music industry is in such a bad state right now, and very few record companies are still profitable."
"Without a record company, who's going to pay for your music videos?"
"It's just me."
"Oh, I didn't realize you were a rich kid."
"No, my family is actually just an ordinary working-class family. To put it another way, I actually earned some money through these few songs as mobile ringtones, and that's how I got the money to shoot the music video."
Hu Yanyan raised her glass and clinked it with his, saying, "Amazing, no wonder you're my idol."
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Do you plan to become a singer or a movie star in the future?"
"I'll try to balance both. After all, I'm studying acting at the Beijing Film Academy, and my teachers all say that my image is very suitable for becoming a leading man in film and television."
However, I have decent musical talent, and I don't want to give up singing. Besides, these three songs prove that the public recognizes my musical talent.
The meal lasted a full hour and a half before it ended. As it was about to finish, Lin Zixuan hesitated for a moment, then took an envelope out of his bag and handed it to Hu Yanyan. The envelope contained 5000 yuan.
Hu Yanyan didn't answer, and jokingly asked, "Zixuan, what are you doing?"
"When you go out to do interviews, you get a errand fee, right? Consider this a thank-you gift from your younger brother to his older sister."
"Zixuan, take it back. Don't be so polite with your sister."
"How could I possibly accept that?"
"If you really want to express your gratitude, perhaps you should..."
""
"Not as good as what?"
Looking at the handsome face so close to her, and having drunk a little red wine, Hu Yanyan couldn't resist. She stood up, sat in Lin Zixuan's lap, and offered him a kiss.
Lin Zixuan felt a nimble little goldfish swim into his mouth, and he wrapped his arms around the young lady, responding enthusiastically.
After a while, the two finally separated. Hu Yanyan breathed sweetly into his ear, "How about we find a hotel and have a more in-depth conversation..."
a bit.
"
Lin Zixuan looked at the panel in his sea of consciousness:
Name: Lin Zixuan Age: 21 (123)
人气：6271
Cultivation level: 19/100 (Qi Refining)
Target 1, Popularity: 657541
To his surprise, the other party was quite popular, with over 65 followers. For a reporter to have so many followers, she must be quite capable. Plus, she was pretty enough. So, it didn't seem like she was someone he couldn't consider.
But he still hesitated a bit. "Sister Yan, don't you have to go to work this afternoon?"
Hu Yanyan licked his ear. "Isn't this because we've discovered some valuable news? As a reporter, of course I have to rush to the scene to cover it as soon as possible."
"Okay, my sister is the smartest. I'll listen to her."
. . . . . .
"Mum, you pay the bill here. I'll go check out the hotel next door first. Wait for my message."
