Chapter 176 0176, System Tasks Are Strange

At present, the total volume of China's publishing market is about 500 billion. In the future, the total market volume of audiobooks and e-books is very likely to be on par with the publishing market, among which the proportion of audiobooks will be much higher than that of e-books.

Audiobook platforms need to take advantage of the strong storytelling and high stickiness of audiobooks to gain traffic and cultivate users' continuous listening habits.

This is impossible to achieve by relying solely on the platform's own strength. It must be open to the outside world to attract individual audiobook broadcasters or studios to join.

Then.

How to operate a newly established audio book platform well is a test of the manager's ability.

Moreover, there is no successful audio book platform on Blue Planet that can be used as a reference and learn from.

Therefore, this is an industry that needs to move forward by trial and error.

but……

Yunfeng, who writes novels, sings songs, and draws comics, has no idea about the operation of a company or a website.

Although Zheng Rong understood the operation of the company, he did not understand the operation of the website.

So, after the two of them discussed it, they hired a website operations manager to let professionals do professional work.

Ge Teng has extensive experience in operating audio and video websites, novel websites, and comics websites.

Although most of these experiences are experiences of failure.

In fact, it’s no big deal. The more experiences of failure you have, the faster you can move towards success.

An excellent person may not be suitable, but a suitable person will eventually be excellent. This is one of the reasons why Jung Yong-hwa and Yun-bong chose Ge Teng among many applicants.

"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Yun, for a new website or a new platform, early stage promotion and publicity is very important. This one million is really not enough." Ge Teng wanted to prove his ability, but a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Zheng Rong opened the folder in front of him and said, "I've read your plan. Are all the promotional methods listed above mandatory?"

Ge Teng nodded and said, "We must do SEO, search promotion, increase high-quality external links, publish website-related information on some classified platforms, and do WeChat chat and WeChat circle marketing."

Then, he listed the data of the three most popular audiobook websites and continued, "The future of the audiobook industry is unknown. There are very few individual broadcasters or studios. It is not enough to rely on website profit sharing and creative incentive bonuses to attract people. They must see the traffic of the website, because traffic equals money, and also equals the future."

Zheng Rong looked at Yun Feng and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yunfeng felt that what Ge Teng said made sense. Thinking back to his previous life on Earth, any new App that appeared would be promoted everywhere with advertisements, and it was certain that a lot of money would be spent in the early stages.

But money...

The company now has three studios, a website operations department, and the publication of physical magazines, all of which require money to maintain normal operations, and it is impossible to use up all the money in the account.

Seeing that Yunfeng didn't say anything, Zheng Rong couldn't help but ask, "How much does it cost?"

Ge Teng replied: "The initial promotion and publicity will cost at least five million."

To be honest, not a lot, but not a few either.

Yunfeng thought for a moment and said, "If I promote it in novels, songs, and on WeChat, can I lower the budget appropriately?"

He still has quite a few fans of his novels, songs, and comics.

Ge Teng replied, "Boss Yun, I have included your promotional efforts in the calculation, otherwise the five million wouldn't even be enough to hire a spokesperson."

Yunfeng discussed with Zheng Rong and finally decided to give the five million. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child.

Ge Teng breathed a sigh of relief. These two bosses were quite easy to talk to. In the company he worked for before, the bosses would usually cut the budget in half first. That was not all, they also wanted you to create a hundred times the effect with a limited budget.

"Brother Zheng, believe me, the audiobook business is a sure win." Yunfeng looked at Zheng Rong.

"If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have let you invest in the first place." Zheng Rong smiled.

He has already read the first chapter of the audio comic "Feng Yun I" which was recently revised. It is an ultimate audio-visual feast that completely subverts the industry standards. It would be unfair if it didn't become a hit.

What he is worried about is whether other audiobooks can reach this level.

----

As night falls, a bright moon appears in the deep blue sky. The night view of the city is prosperous, bustling, beautiful and charming.

At the barbecue stall, Yunfeng and Li Junyi ordered a large table of skewers.

Li Junyi pulled a bunch of beef tendons and asked, "Are you going back tomorrow?"

Yunfeng swallowed what was in his mouth and replied, "Well, everything here has been dealt with. How about you?"

Li Junyi replied: "I still need two days to shoot that commercial."

As he said that, he threw the bamboo sticks into the bucket and took out a bunch of beef tendons. This thing is so delicious. Yunfeng asked casually, "What commercial are you shooting this time?"

Li Junyi asked in confusion: "Didn't I tell you last night?"

Yunfeng shook his head.

Li Junyi chuckled and said, "I thought I told you, it's actually some print ads, mainly product brochures and product posters."

Yunfeng nodded slightly.

In fact, part-time jobs as print models for college students are very popular nowadays. The main reason is that the salary is very good and the working conditions are not so intense.

Li Junyi is a man from Northeast China. He is 1.88 meters tall, has a good figure and good looks. He is indeed suitable to be a print model.

Yunfeng asked curiously, "With your qualifications, why don't you go to a film and television academy or a drama academy?"

Li Junyi shrugged and said, "Acting is too difficult. Anyway, it's just to be in the same city with Xiaoxiao."

Yunfeng's expression became strange. He didn't expect that Li Junyi also came to the Magic City Conservatory of Music for a woman, but the two of them were childhood sweethearts and had been together since they were young.

Li Junyi filled his glass with beer and said, "By the way, did you know about your "Storm I" being plagiarized?"

Yunfeng nodded and said, "I understand."

Li Junyi said angrily: "This Penguin Comics website is too shameless. You let them publish "Storm and Cloud I" exclusively, but they turned around and copied your "Storm and Cloud I"."

Yunfeng had no choice but to explain it again.

Li Junyi listened and said half-doubtfully: "Imitation of painting style is really not plagiarism?"

Yunfeng smiled and nodded, saying, "If it is really plagiarism, I will definitely sue."

This is where Penguin Comics is smart. They imitate the painting style and some elements that are also found in other comics, such as character images and magical weapons. In this way, they can provoke fans who don't know how to define plagiarism to make a fuss, which can increase the popularity.

Since the person involved said so, Li Junyi couldn't say anything else.

But, at this moment.

A prompt sounded in Yunfeng's mind: "Ding Dong, it is detected that the host's cross-border occupation [Cartoonist] is leading the trend, activating the side quest."

[Side quest: Within three months, produce ten comics that follow the trend of "Storm and Cloud I".]

[Task Reward: Cross-border Career [Cartoonist] Achievement 1000, one Silver Career Resource.]

A smile appeared on Yunfeng's lips. Surprises always appear inadvertently.

However, this side quest was not completed by him, but by the outside world.

He can't just beg others to follow the trend of "Feng Yun I".

"Yunfeng? Yunfeng?"

"Ah...what's wrong?"

……

Li Junyi asked, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"

Yunfeng said embarrassedly: "Nothing."

Li Junyi continued: "I'm asking you, when will you write another romance novel?"

After saying that, he added with a smile: "I asked this on behalf of Xiaoxiao."

Girls still prefer romance novels, and so does his girlfriend Yi Xiaoxiao.

Yunfeng picked a bunch of "Seven-Li Fragrant", took a bite, and said vaguely: "It's hard to say."

If it is a martial arts novel or a fantasy novel, then there is no problem, but if it is a romance novel, it is still a little lacking.

It depends on whether the reward given by the system is a romance novel.

Of course, I won’t tell this to anyone.

Li Junyi did not ask the reason, it was just a casual question.

He knew that Yunfeng's focus was on the novels serialized on the Panda Chinese website, while the short stories serialized on Weiquan were just essays.
