"Ask online authors to promote the Legend of Mir 2?"
Zou Tao didn't react for a while, but after a while, his eyes lit up. "Boss Chen, are you talking about asking online authors to write about the Legend of Mir 2?"
"That's right."
Chen Yu nodded. "Although the Internet is not mainstream now and there are fewer people who read the Internet, the influence of the Internet is already very big."
"Yes, Boss Chen, there are several rental bookstores in the Public Garden. Most of them are online."
After all, Zou Tao was someone who read the Internet. He had a lot of topics to talk about when talking about the Internet. "Not only here, there are four or five bookstores near No. 2 Middle School. Their main business is also renting the Internet."
"Hehe, 20 cents a day."
Speaking of which, Chen Yu also read countless Internet when he was in high school in his previous life.
As for the reason, because he couldn't go to the Internet cafe every day, he could only rent it.
The price of 20 cents a day was very good. It was the cheapest entertainment at that time.
It wasn't just them.
For ordinary office workers, other entertainment expenses were too high. Renting a book was more economical.
"Zou Tao, what do you think of this idea?"
"Boss Chen, I think it's okay."
Zou Tao said, "People who read the Internet generally like to play games. As long as we find an excellent online author and ask him to write about the Legend of Mir 2, this will have a great publicity effect for our Legend of Mir 2. If this book accidentally becomes a classic, it may be able to promote our Legend of Mir 2 for several years. "
"This idea is good."
Chen Yu remembered that in his previous life, a game company found a master to customize a game.
This game was called Perfect World.
It was Perfect World that asked this master to write Perfect World.
However, at that time, Perfect World only allowed this author to hang the title "Perfect World". As for the content, there were no restrictions. But even so, after the platinum author wrote "Perfect World", Perfect World's search volume in Baidu had been at the top for several years. It could be said that it made a good publicity.
But unfortunately, this platinum author seemed to have started writing online after 2005.
It was 2002 now. Where could he find him?
"Zou Tao, are there any good game writers now?"
"Thirty-second Eunuch."
"Uh, I've never heard of it."
Chen Yu had a headache.
He had no impression of this author called Eunuch Thirty-Two.
But thinking about it, it made sense.
Later on, a bunch of platinum authors had not even started writing in 2002.
"Alright then. You can contact Eunuch Thirty-Two."
After saying that, Chen Yu thought of something else. "Oh right, to be safe, let's organize a writing competition with Qidian."
After all, Chen Yu had never heard of this thirty-two eunuch. He was afraid that this guy would not write it well.
Furthermore, looking at his name, Eunuch, why would he use such a pen name? It was obvious that he was a eunuch.
What if he stopped writing while he was writing? Wouldn't he vomit blood?
Of course, this wasn't to say that he had wasted his money. Spending money was a small matter, but affecting the publicity of the legendary world was a big matter.
"Essay competition?"
"What kind of competition is it?"
Zou Tao was curious about this competition.
"It's a competition for the legendary world. Whoever writes well will be awarded 100,000 yuan."
"No, the winner will be awarded 100,000 yuan, the runner-up will be awarded 50,000 yuan, the third place will be awarded 30,000 yuan, and the fourth to tenth place will be awarded 10,000 yuan. There will be participants as well. Regardless of whether they write well or not, as long as they write 300,000 words, everyone will be awarded 1,000 yuan. "
Speaking of which, where was the cheapest place to advertise now?
This was probably the place.
If it was any other place, they could simply find a portal to advertise and it would be worth tens of millions.
This did not include the endorsement fees of celebrities.
Now that the various online platforms had not implemented a VIP fee system, everyone could write for free. If they were to spend hundreds of thousands on this essay competition, those authors would probably have to work their brains out for it.
Sigh, it was really tough being an online author. If the market was not like this in 2002, Chen Yu would definitely reward them with a few Alliance Masters. However, it seemed that the Internet did not have a reward system now. Even the Alliance Masters could not reward them.
Alright.
I'll note this down and come back later.
"Okay, Boss Chen, I'll contact them right away."
Although Zou Tao did not know how to write online novels, he still had some understanding of the online literature circle.
He believed that this competition would definitely attract the attention of many authors.
Moreover, many authors would participate.
With the participation of many authors, there might be one or two classics.
Using hundreds of thousands of yuan to gain tens of millions in publicity effects was simply too cost-effective.
That afternoon, Zou Tao contacted the person in charge of Qidian.
He also informed them of Huanyu Technologies' intention to organize a competition for the legendary world.
There were no problems. This was something that would benefit the platform, Huanyu Technologies, and even the authors. The next day, Qidian released the competition for the legendary world.
"Damn, brothers, the website is organizing a competition."
"What kind of competition?"
"It's about games."
"Great, I've been playing games recently. I'll participate in this competition. But is there money for this competition? "
"Yes."
"How much? Is there 500 yuan?"
"500 yuan, what are you talking about? 100,000 yuan."
YY Author Channel.
This was a channel opened by a group of authors who liked to write online.
Because YY had a chat room function, it could gather a large number of people. Therefore, many of their friends who liked to write online would come to YY to communicate.
However, although it was an exchange, they did not discuss how to write too much.
Anyway, everyone was writing on the website for fun. If they had time, they would write a chapter. If not, they would not write.
There was no point in discussing how to write.
As for those who wrote well, they might be able to get published. However, there were many genres that could not be published online.
This caused more than 99% of the authors to write a lot and not even get 10 cents in royalties.
Although they were not writing for money, not even 10 cents was still a blow to their confidence.
Even if it was not a blow to their confidence, it would be a blow to their motivation.
For this reason, some websites would organize competitions in order to attract authors and increase their enthusiasm.
The winners of the competition could get 500 yuan, 1,000 yuan, and so on.
However, such competitions were rare, and even rarer to get a prize.
"100,000 yuan?"
Everyone in the chat room wanted to vomit blood. "Bro, you must be crazy about money."
"100,000 yuan? Even the big bosses of publishing can't earn 100,000 yuan."
"You guys, why don't you see which company sent the competition? Huanyu Technologies sent it."
"Which company is Huanyu Technologies?"
"Bro, can you be more professional? It's the company from Legend of Mir."
"F * ck, it's their company."
Many people did not know about Huanyu Technologies, but how could the people from Legend of Mir not know about it?
Recently, advertisements for Legend of Mir had been flying everywhere. Even Zha Zha Hui had become a hot topic.
"They're offering 100,000 yuan for the competition?"
"Yes, not only 100,000 yuan. The first place gets 100,000 yuan, the second place gets 50,000 yuan, the third place gets 30,000 yuan, and the fourth to tenth places gets 10,000 yuan."
"F * ck, they're too rich. Where's the link to the competition? Quick, send it."
"Yes … Not only will there be prizes for the top ten, as long as the participant's word count reaches 300,000, there will be 1,000 yuan."
"Hey, where did you guys go? Why aren't you guys talking?"
Stop talking.
Those authors who saw the link had already opened Word.
That night, hundreds of new works about Legend of Mir were opened on the Qidian Chinese website.
