Chapter 114: Monthly Sales Champion
The next morning, Lu Li rushed to the crew early in the morning.
When I arrived at the scene, many people were already busy here. Several leading actors were making up, and now the shooting process has reached the part where they are filming their parts.
"Pear, good morning," Jiang You said with a greeting as he saw Lu Li approaching.
"Hmm, you're earlier than me." Lu Li heard the voice and smiled.
"By the way, I heard from your assistant that your current 'Xian' is on the monthly ticket chart, are you busy enough to come over? Actually, you don't need to come over here, just focus on writing." Jiang You suddenly said.
Lu Li was taken aback by the words, but didn't expect Zeng Ke Ru to know about his competition for the top spot. It seems that she is very dedicated to her work as an assistant. Lu Li shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm already used to a busy life, just writing is too idle."
Jiang You stopped talking and began discussing the next script with Lu Li, they can start filming once the actors finish their makeup.
Finished shooting for the day and returned to the hotel at 8 pm, Lu Li logged into YY and found that his monthly ticket had grown to 2000 tickets. After updating three chapters, he started typing away.
Around 11 o'clock, Lu Li felt drowsy and turned off the computer, falling into a deep sleep.
And on Tianya Forum, the live post "Xian Xia vs Xian You" monthly ticket battle was also updated at 12:00 sharp.
"Extra! Extra! 24 hours have passed, 'Xian Xia' has 432,719 first-day subscriptions, and Lu Li's name as the Supreme God is well-deserved. 'Xian You' has 432,638 first-day subscriptions, and the ancient great god's style remains unchanged from years past. From the first-day subscriptions, it can be seen that there isn't much difference between the two. Currently, the monthly ticket numbers for both books are as follows: 'Xian Xia' with 2381, 'Xian You' with 2373. 'Xian Xia' is temporarily leading 'Xian You' by a few votes. Today's battle report has come to an end."
After this post was updated, many people replied.
"My god, this is the ultimate god, subscription scares people to death." Pants ripped apart.
"It seems that Lùlí and Wǔshén are evenly matched, a stalemate. This is going to be interesting." The male prostitute rose up in revolt.
"It's still early and nothing can be seen yet. After all, today is just the first day. I believe the battle will become more intense later." Cold Soul.
"Other big shots have already cleared the battlefield and are informing book friends in their books to give up this month's monthly vote ranking." I saw through it long ago.
"No way, Ludi and Wushen are now enough to crush most of the major gods. Rather than engaging in unnecessary struggle, it's better to give up early." Eternal.
……
These people chattered for a while and soon fell silent.
Lu Li now updates every day after finishing work on set and then codes for a while, looking at the monthly votes for "Zhēn Xiān" and "Xiān Yóu".
Apart from the words of seeking votes in the shelf speech, Lu Li has not sought monthly votes again. However, by the 20th, after ten days of shelving, "Xian Xia" 's monthly votes have grown to over 300,000, approaching several top-ranked gods who were ranked first on the shelves. The monthly vote situation for "Xian You" is similar to that of "Xian Xia", with both sometimes ahead and sometimes behind each other.
And neither three nor four is like Lü Li, and no additional methods are taken to seek votes, only maintaining a stable update.
But everyone knows that the most critical period should be in these last 10 days.
As expected, Chapter 21 was released first without any fanfare.
"Since I was the one who initiated the battle, let me go first. There are less than 10 days left this month, and it's not early or late to call for next month's tickets. The plot has recently reached a critical point, and my writing speed can't keep up, so 1000 monthly tickets will get an extra update, with no upper limit."
This awkward chapter is still very effective, on the 21st day, the monthly ticket of "Xian You" suddenly surged, quickly pulling away from the monthly ticket number of "Zhu Xian", and rose to over 40,000.
But what was unexpected was that the gap with "Xian Xia" did not widen, because on the second day, Lu Meng's people found that "Xian You"'s monthly votes suddenly increased by over 10,000 votes, and under Liu Xiao Wen's organization, they also cast their monthly votes for "Xian Xia", quickly catching up.
This is still under the circumstance that Lu Li hasn't publicly asked for votes, and it's a spontaneous behavior of the members of Lu Meng. Not Three Not Four saw this situation for the first time and felt an immense pressure.
On the evening of the 21st, Lu Li went online and noticed that the monthly ticket had surged suddenly. After understanding what was going on, Lu Li also felt a little embarrassed and voluntarily added a few more chapters.
However, book friends did not buy Lü Lì's increased updates and instead angrily flooded the review section.
"Lu Li Da, although you are my idol, I still can't help but scold you. It seems that the lesson from "The Legend of the Condor Hero" has been forgotten. Bi Yao's fearlessness in facing countless righteous experts and her words to Zhang Xiao Fan: 'Xiao Fan, follow me, these hypocritical guys are all harming you' deeply moved me. I know it was extremely dangerous at that moment, but with Gui Wang leading the demonic sect back, I thought Zhang Xiao Fan would safely leave under his rescue... however, looking back, Bi Yao used the 'Chī Qíng Zhòu' ( Foolish Love Curse) under the Xian Jian sword array: 'Nine You divine spirits, all heavenly demons and gods, with my blood and body, as a sacrifice. Three lives and seven deaths, forever falling into Yan Luo, all for love's sake, even in death I won't regret.' Such a moving curse, but it only brought me distress! Fortunately, later on, there was still hope for Bi Yao's revival, hopefully she can really come back to life."
"I'm going, Lu Li Da you're here again to torture us readers, Bi Yao can't die, she must be revived!"
"Kneel down and beg Lu Li to bring Bi Yao back to life."
……
When Lu Li finished filming on set for the second day and logged onto YY, he saw that the entire screen was filled with book reviews calling for Bai Yao to be revived.
Lu Li could only remain silent, knowing the subsequent plot that Bi Yao was destined to not be revived. Even if Zhang Xiaofan found the last black witch doctor in Nanjiang, at the last moment, the witch doctor died, and the opportunity was lost. The hope of Zhang Xiaofan and Gui Wang was cut off.
The Demon King turned white-haired in just three days, and Zhang Xiaofan also became depressed for a period of time.
Although book friends have been asking for Bi Yao's resurrection, Lu Li definitely won't do that. However, Lu Li also didn't immediately indicate that Bi Yao wouldn't be resurrected, just to give them a glimmer of hope and prevent them from getting too worked up, otherwise the monthly ticket rankings would become meaningless again like during "The Return of the Condor Hero".
Seeing the second day of Lu Li's normal update, without any explanation about Bi Yao's matter, the emotions of book friends became more intense. Many book friends did not vote for their monthly tickets, as if they were using this as a protest, and the riot in the book review area was getting worse and worse.
On the contrary, the monthly ticket data of "Xian You" has maintained rapid growth and temporarily opened up a certain gap with "Zhu Xian".
Liu Xiaowen saw this situation and knew that continuing like this was not a solution, so she posted a post in the book review area:
Regarding Biyao, Lu Li wrote in the book that she still has a soul left in the bell, and Gui Xiansheng also said that there is a technique to revive the soul in the Nanjiang Black Witch tribe. It seems that Biyao also has a possibility of revival, so everyone should not be entangled in this issue for now. The monthly ticket count of "Xian You" today has already pulled far away from "Zhu Xian". If you continue to stir up emotions like this, Lu Meng will definitely lose to Wu Jun. Therefore, I sincerely request that the members of Lu Meng cast their monthly tickets.
It seems that Liu Xiaowan's words took effect, and on the second day after "Xian You" opened up a gap in votes, the votes for "Zhu Xian" also grew rapidly, quickly catching up with "Xian You".
Lu Lian returned from the film set at night and saw Liu Xiaowen's post, also letting out a sigh of relief. Opened YY and thanked Liu Xiaowen.
It's already the 23rd, and the top two on the monthly ticket chart, the fantasy big shots that went online on the 1st, have been completely replaced by "Xian Xia" and "Sanyou".
The post on Tianya Forum about the live broadcast of Lu Li and Wu Shen's monthly ticket battle is still being updated, but there are no more replies below, only silently paying attention to the latest developments in the monthly ticket battle.
At the same time, many people's hearts seemed to be secretly looking forward to something.
It was in such an atmosphere that Lu Li received a call from Lu Qiang on the 24th.
"Lu Li, the sales figures for 'Me' are out!" Even over the phone, Lu Li could hear the excitement in Lu Qiang's voice.
If Lu Qiang didn't call Lu Li, busy Lu Li had already forgotten that the album "Me" has been on sale for a whole month.
It seems that sales are going well. Lu Li felt the excitement in Lu Qiang's tone and smiled slightly, asking: "How much was sold?"
"2 million, 2 million! Haha haha!" Lu Qiang said over the phone, not waiting for Lu Li to speak, and burst out laughing: "Do you know? That senior Li Ran from Huaxia Music Academy, now the number one in the Chinese music scene, his last new album sold only a little over 2 million copies, while your first album can sell this many copies, it's simply, simply..."
Lu Qiang said two simple words in a row, but couldn't find the right words to describe Lu Li, and finally burst out laughing again.
"Two million? Not bad." Lu Li smiled and said.
Actually, for such a classic album, sales of 2 million can't satisfy Lu Li, but thinking that it's now the digital music era and he's just a newcomer, having such sales is enough to make people jealous. Haven't you heard Lu Qiang excitedly on the other end of the phone?
And it's still the first month now, although fewer people will buy albums later on, but it can still continue to accumulate.
"It's not just okay!" Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Lu Qiang continued: "Not only in the mainland of China, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan, your album has sold extremely well, even winning the monthly sales champion in the mainland. As for whether it will be the annual sales champion, that's not certain yet, after all, it's only August now, but I think the hope is very great."
"Hmm, has the album's sales revenue been settled? How much money did we make in total?" Lu Li didn't care about being the sales champion, but instead asked a very practical question.
