Chapter 117 Chen Dong's Talk Show!
These days, after free, Chen Dong drove to various attractions in Dinghai City, such as Dinghai Ocean Aquarium, Madame Tussaud Wax Museum, Bund, City God Temple, Jing'an Temple, etc., to experience the unique style of Dinghai City.
I just returned to the villa and didn't even breathe, so I called me.
Chen Dong picked up his mobile phone and checked the caller ID. It was Du Wenhai from Changjiang Publishing House called him.
"Hey, hello, Mr. Du."
"Do you have time? Let's have dinner together to celebrate the big sale of "The Rise of the Great Powers"?" Du Wenhai said.
Celebrating the big sale of "The Rise of Great Powers" is secondary, and contact is the most important. With "Things in the Ming Dynasty", "The Rise of Great Powers" sold two consecutive books. Several groups of publishers have gone to Chen Dong with high-scoring contracts. He has heard of all these. Although Chen Dong did not agree, Du Wenhai felt a sense of crisis in his heart. It is not enough to talk about interests. The 15% remuneration share can be paid for 16%, or even 17%, or 18/%. In addition to talking about interests, they also have to talk about friendship. They often have a meal, have afternoon tea, chat, etc. If they have deep friendship, they will not be easily poached.
"Yes, I just came back from Jing'an Temple and didn't even eat a bite of food. Where did I meet?" Chen Dong took a towel and wiped his sweat and said.
“See you at 5 o’clock in the morning.”
"OK."
"Aunt Du, don't cook dinner anymore, I'll go out to eat tonight." Chen Dong turned to Aunt Du who was cleaning.
"OK."
Old place, Big Xiangnan Hotel, Plum Blossom Hall.
There were only two people, Chen Dong and Du Wenhai, the dishes were very rich, with dry pot sheep hooves, chopped pepper octopus beards, and plum vegetable buckles.
Du Wenhai picked up the wine glass and feasted with Chen Dong, and said, "Let me celebrate the big sale of "The Rise of the Great Powers" and cheers."
Chen Dong could only use tea instead of wine and said, "Cheers!"
Anyone who knows Chen Dong knows that Chen Dong can’t drink alcohol, and he will blush when he drinks beer. He will blush when he blush when he blushs when he blushs when he gets drunk when he drinks two.
Du Wenhai smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face. "The Rise of a Great Power" sold 393,000 copies in 4 days, and the sales were very popular. The phone calls that urged goods every day almost made the connection phone call explode.
Thinking about it now, signing in to Chen Dong, a newcomer in the publishing industry at that time, was the most wise decision he made in his life. At that time, he was a little unconfident about "Things of the Ming Dynasty" written in humorous and witty online language, and hesitated very much. He only signed the first part of "Things of the Ming Dynasty", with a 7% remuneration share, and the remuneration share that ordinary physical authors can get.
No one expected that this newcomer was too fierce. Two "Things in the Ming Dynasty" sold 212.8 copies in half a year and ranked first in the annual book sales list. "Rise of the Great Powers" sold for four days and sold 391,000 copies, and it was another super-selling book. Think about it, there are still five "Things in the Ming Dynasty" that have not been published, and there are still eight "Rise of the Great Powers" that have not been published, and there are also another series of Three Kingdoms.... He thought about the huge profits that will be brought to him in the next few years, so he would wake up in his dreams.
"By the way, Xiaodong, I have a friend who works in a video website. I have always wanted to make a talk show similar to the United States. After reading the book "Rise of Great Powers" you wrote, I feel that it is very appropriate to make a talk show with "Rise of Great Powers" as a material. It is interesting and the audience loves to watch it. The rise and fall of each country is a legendary story. The popularity of the physical book "Rise of Great Powers" has brought a huge audience base to the video program, so I want to invite you to host a talk show."
When Chen Dong heard Du Wenhai talk about the "talk show", he probably knew what kind of program it was. It was a bit similar to Gao Xiaosong's "Xiaosong" in the original time and space. He used a way to have fun chats about some interesting things about the rise and fall of great powers, and shared the prosperity with netizens.
"Okay." Chen Dong nodded and said.
Chen Dong is very happy to share some of the magnificent stories of the Age of Discovery with netizens in a way that is idle and fun.
"Probably, the You/Cool staff will contact you soon." Du Wenhai picked up the wine glass and had a drink with Chen Dong.
Next, at the dinner table, the two talked about some things in the entertainment industry. Du Wenhai is a chatty person, while Chen Dong is a good audience. The two of them are very happy to chat and have great luck.
After dinner, Du Wenhai checked out. Both of them were billionaires, and they were not short of the money.
The next day, a You/Ku staff contacted Chen Dong and talked about the cooperation between the two parties in Chen Dong's villa.
Chen Dong signed a contract to host a talk show on You/Ku. He signed one episode first, and then the audience responded well. He then renewed it. The number of episodes is about 20 episodes, and one episode is played every Friday, with each episode about 30 to 40 minutes. It mainly talks about the root causes of the rise of world-famous powers that have risen from the Age of Discovery, the factors of decline, and some interesting things in the process of the rise of some great powers.
Remuneration is converted according to click-through rate, and as for manufacturer sponsorship, it is divided into a certain proportion.
Chen Dong looked at it and there were several manufacturers who were interested in sponsoring. For example, an automobile company, Indinis, sponsored 3 million yuan. As long as a 12-second advertisement was inserted in the film, a 20-second car advertisement was played at the end of the film, indicating that the program was sponsored by Indinis, and a small Indinis car model was placed on the table. It was OK, it was very generous. Chen Dong took the big head for 3 million yuan, because Indinis Automobile Company sponsored this program mainly for Chen Dong's fame. You/Cool understands this very well.
In addition, there are some small sponsors, hundreds of thousands to one million.
It is quite good to have an author's turn. Even if the author's popularity is enhanced, he can get a generous reward and promote the new book at the end.
After discussing cooperation, Chen Dongwo began to prepare in the villa, checking various foreign historical materials, and understanding the political situation in Portugal at that time, various systems, laws, Portuguese surnames, the situations faced on the land, and interesting characters and events at that time.
Originally, Chen Dong had been strengthened by level i-level strengthening and repairing, and his memory became amazing and his thinking became keen. After reading all kinds of information, he could remember it in his mind.
After several days of preparation, I learned more about the Grape Man of the Age of Discovery.
A few days later, You/Cool staff came to Chen Dong's villa. The recording of the first episode was recorded at Chen Dong's home. They talked about some Portuguese people who started the era of great navigation in a relaxed and casual manner, and rose to become the first world-famous power. The roots of the rise, the factors of decline, and some interesting characters and stories.
When recording, I was in a small study house with a row of bookshelf in the background, filled with books.
The clothes are sponsored, and there is a small model of Indinis car on the table. (To be continued.)
