"It's actually only third place?"
To be honest, Lie Mengmeng was very surprised by this result.
Although Father Wang's new book had only been out for less than two months, the readers on the website were satisfied with it at 87%, which was a very high figure. Furthermore, a major feature of Father Wang's novels was that readers were very loyal. Based on this, Father Wang's chapters had an average of three hundred thousand subscriptions.
This was an astonishing figure …
The most important thing was that this three hundred thousand was just the number of subscriptions on Cultivation Chinese Network; Father Wang also had a considerable number of subscriptions on more than forty other novel partner platforms. Of course, Father Wang couldn't see these subscriptions on his back end, but Lie Mengmeng would take a look every month. Currently, subscriptions on all of Father Wang's channels were about to break one million.
Of course, the success of Father Wang's last book, Let Go of That Wet Nurse, was a big factor in his astonishing sales.
Even so, the number of votes in this month's battle for double monthly votes had reached an unprecedented and frightening level.
The monthly votes of the first and second place authors were almost the same, and they were about to break one million …
This month's monthly votes were a little exaggerated!
"Brother Wang, what should we do?" Lie Mengmeng was a little anxious. "How about you break out? Beg for monthly votes? "
"Break out?" Father Wang raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I just break out yesterday? It's impossible for me to break out in the near future, absolutely impossible. If I break out, I'll lose a few years of my life … the gains don't make up for the losses! You want me to break out? I'd rather dress in women's clothing for monthly votes, okay? I can wear black stockings, but only if I don't show my face. I want my face! "
Lie Mengmeng was stunned. To think that Father Wang could come up with such a shameless plan … this was already quite shameless!
"Brother, don't, it's too hard on the eyes if you dress in women's clothing," Lie Mengmeng said. "Besides, even if you don't show your face and wear black stockings, you still have to shave your legs, which is very troublesome! Also … it's actually not very good for men to shave their legs … "
The editorial department had organized a trip to the hot spring before, and both Father Wang and Lie Mengmeng had gone.
While soaking in the hot spring, Lie Mengmeng had seen Father Wang's thick leg hair.
If he had to describe it, Lie Mengmeng felt that if he shaved off all Father Wang's leg hair, he could fry a pot of chives …
"No matter what, Brother, I think this ticket is abnormal!"
Hugging a pillow, Lie Mengmeng sat on the sofa and defended Father Wang.
Father Wang silently lit a cigarette and was very calm. "What's so unusual about it? It was very normal for people to be willing to spend money on their favorite authors … Moreover, Braised Pork Shoulder and Braised Pig Feet in Soy Sauce were also veteran authors on the website, right? It's not like you don't know that rich readers can increase their monthly votes just by sending red packets. "
Lie Mengmeng sighed. This was actually his negligence. He should have realized it earlier.
Lie Mengmeng had initially thought that, given Father Wang's current position as number one in all the major lists, his position as number one in the overall monthly votes this month should be a given, so he hadn't paid much attention to him. In the end, today was the last day of the double monthly votes event. Lie Mengmeng was completely dumbfounded when he saw the number of votes publicly displayed on TV.
As of midnight today, there were still six hours left for the double monthly votes … To be honest, Lie Mengmeng felt that it was really too difficult to close the gap of nearly 500,000 monthly votes in these six hours! But if he didn't seize this opportunity to double the monthly votes, it would be even more difficult to overtake Father Wang after the event was over.
Lie Mengmeng looked at the book review sections for the two authors at the top of the monthly votes list.
Sure enough, because there wasn't much of a difference in the number of votes between them, the fans of both sides had already launched a series of canvassing campaigns in the book review sections for the authors they supported.
The battle for the monthly votes was actually a way to boost the morale of fans. Furthermore, Cultivation Chinese Network had now withdrawn the fan nameplate campaign; as long as you supported an author, you would hang that author's nameplate next to your ID. If the author's monthly votes site won, the fans who supported the author would definitely be full of glory.
But once the battle for the monthly votes entered a white-hot stage, it was inevitable that a war of words would break out between fans who supported different authors. Although Lie Mengmeng hadn't been employed for long, and it had only been a few years, he had gained a lot of experience over the last few years.
As a veteran who had entered the industry even earlier than Lie Mengmeng, Father Wang looked like he was already used to all kinds of storms. He didn't even need to look at the book review section to know what was going on. "Have the fans of both sides already started fighting each other?"
Lie Mengmeng: "Mm … it seems like it's pretty big. A fan of Braised Pork Shoulder's leader entered the fan group of Braised Pig Feet in Sauce's leader, and because of some conflict, kicked out Pig Feet's leader's fan group. Both sides are now fighting over this matter."
Father Wang tsked. "Hehehe, the authors on both sides haven't said anything yet, have they?"
Lie Mengmeng shook his head. "Not yet, but there are more and more onlookers … It's not just our site where the fans of both sides are fighting, everyone in other literary forums knows about it and is talking about it."
"That's right." Father Wang nodded.
Who was the happiest when fans fought? Of course it was the authors!
This move, which looked like a quarrel, was in fact a happy and harmonious method of canvassing for votes. In Father Wang's view, it was actually quite brilliant! In this way, not only did it stimulate the readers' desire to canvass for votes for the authors they supported, it also attracted a large number of onlookers to gather around and read the books. Subscriptions rose, new fans emerged, and Father Wang also received a lot of tips …
Father Wang stared at the tally of votes on the TV screen. After about five minutes, he said, "Look, did Braised Pork Shoulder make a statement in a separate chapter?"
Lie Mengmeng flipped through his phone and said in surprise, "It's true! He made a separate chapter! Brother Wang, how would you know if you didn't look at your phone? "
Father Wang pointed at the TV. "The number of votes on TV just went up again, and Braised Pork Shoulder is now almost 1.1 million. He must have made a statement to instigate a wave of excitement in the readers."
"…"
Lie Mengmeng refreshed the list of novels, and was shaken again. "F * * k! He made two separate chapters in a row! And the title of the second single chapter is very domineering! It's called 'Please Shatter the Sky with Me!' "
"It's fine, we can catch up. By twelve o 'clock, I'm guessing he'll only have one million and five hundred thousand votes at most … I'll find someone later to straightaway push it to three million for me, "Father Wang said lightly.
"Bro, but now … we only have close to 500,000 votes. Won't we be suspected of vote rigging if we do this?" Lie Mengmeng was suddenly a little worried.
At that moment, Lie Mengmeng suddenly noticed that Father Wang had already finished smoking and was switching to cigars …
Father Wang raised an eyebrow. "Manipulating votes? His Braised Pork Shoulder had an average subscription of 150,000, so he could get 1.5 million monthly tickets. I have 300,000 tickets, what's wrong with 3 million monthly tickets? "
Lie Mengmeng: "…"
Father Wang: "Edit a separate chapter for me. I'll do the talking, you write it."
Lie Mengmeng quickly nodded. "Alright! Where's the title? "
Father Wang: "The title will be 'What Do I Need This Iron Rod for'?"
Lie Mengmeng: "…"
