She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 1120 - 912: Super Star 86 (Five Thousand)
Fortunately, there’s a short video app platform nowadays. Many movies and TV dramas are uploaded to the platform through editing, and many viewers watch the whole series because of a single clip. In retrospect, their company can indeed use this for promotion; she believes "Heiress Strategy" is of decent quality. Since the actor fees were low, the money was spent on costumes, makeup, and scene setups, significantly enhancing the drama’s quality.
It’s better than some dramas that resort to hiring popular stars for traffic, spending high fees on them, and even using high-tech face-swapping. The sets and characters are either post-processed by computers or use stand-ins. Such dramas simply fool the audience. Even if you have traffic, so what? If they don’t buy it, they don’t buy it.
Their production team was meticulously selected. Their dedication goes without saying; no matter how bad, they shouldn’t be worse than these dramas, right?
Additionally, speaking of "Heiress Strategy" being set to go on air, the original novel platform should also take this chance to promote it, with subscription numbers soaring upwards with strong recommendations.
The publishing side seems like an opportunity too. They could use this chance to reprint and publish, maybe even release a deluxe edition.
Her four novels are all on a revenue-sharing model, not a buyout. Revenue sharing means selling a certain amount and giving her 25% of the profit. During the internet growth phase, the number of people buying physical books shrank significantly, so the earnings from the four books combined might be less than the initial site channel fees.
Now her channel fees are low because she hasn’t released a new book for nearly a year. Relying solely on old works, she still earns a monthly income of ten thousand yuan or so, totaling over a hundred thousand a year. But compared to the prosperous previous years, it’s still lacking greatly.
These two years have been busy, leaving no time to write new books. Even if she had a space-time cheat, she couldn’t allocate enough time, fearing it would affect the quality. So it’s better to wait.
"Interested in appearing on a variety show? Our drama could use some promotion,"
Hua Yan awkwardly looked at Liang An and Zhou Zhou: "If I remember correctly, Elephant TV seems not to have its own variety shows, unlike some top-tier networks that have their own. If we want to promote our new drama, we need to be on our network. How could others help with promotion? Even if you pay them, given our fame, we’re just supporting cast material!"
Hua Yan spoke the truth, which is so far the awkward point of choosing to go with Elephant TV because they really don’t have their own variety shows. And even the ads are mostly agriculture-themed. After all, it’s a major agricultural province. If it weren’t for other television networks constantly promoting fake medicine and bizarre shopping ads, Yunan Province might have gained some fame. It’s because of the networks ahead preventing direct hits.
The Yan and Hua families originated from Yunan Province, so saying her ancestral home is Yunan is correct. She’s also been to the Crossed World in Yunan, and Tangyuan himself is a Yunan native. So deep down, she hopes Yunan’s film and culture industry could rise. After all, those who control the Central Plains control the world. It’s right to focus on agriculture and transportation in a major province, but film and culture shouldn’t be weak. A province with scarce celebrities, it’s really embarrassing!
But she’s not a TV producer and lacks enough fame to drive it. If she had the capability in the future, she’d certainly help. But now, what kind of program is this so-called variety show?
Both Liang An and Zhou Zhou looked at her with complex expressions. Under her curious gaze, they spoke with bewildered skepticism.
"Right after we confirmed the release schedule, we received simultaneous invitations from Toilet Channel, Tomato TV, Lizhi TV, Dolphin TV for different variety shows. Strange, isn’t it? Also, they previously approached you to play the lead in ’You’re the Brightest Star in My Heart’, which they said had already cast a popular young star for the female lead but switched to you before signing. If we weren’t familiar with each other’s contacts, we’d think someone had found a Noble!"
Hua Yan finally realized: "I wondered why I was so lucky; turns out the issue lies here. Who’s helping us from behind the scenes with such a huge favor? How can we handle it?"
Liang An squinted at her, "Are you sure it’s not your connections?"
