With its capabilities, it would be easy for DaMi to find these surface-level data, and it could even find more specific data, but there's no need for it.
Xiao Ning nodded, finally feeling relieved.
That's true. If such a talented newcomer could appear so easily, the online literature industry wouldn't have experienced such intense competition at this stage.
"But what does all this have to do with me?"
Xiao Ning shook his head, putting all these things that only top experts would consider out of his mind.
"If the collection count is 1200, how many reads will it have?"
After a pause, Xiao Ning asked a question.
"Reporting to Master, as of now, this book has been read 327 times, surpassing the 14 people who have added it to their favorites, which is quite good data!"
Da Mi paused for a second, presumably checking the data, before speaking.
Xiao Ning was taken aback upon hearing this, clicked his tongue, and exclaimed, "Not bad data! It's only been three days since it was uploaded and it already has over three hundred reads. If it gets featured in the recommendations section, won't it take off like a rocket? Wait, that's not right. I signed a B-version contract, what kind of recommendations are those?"
"Follow-up reading" refers to the number of valid readers within 24 hours after a chapter is updated.
This data is not available to the author in the backend; it is only in the hands of the editor in charge. However, for DaMi, it is naturally something they can see whenever they want.
In layman's terms, follow-up readings equal subscription numbers.
The number of people willing to read a book is directly proportional to the number of people willing to subscribe to it once it's available on the shelves.
Of course, this conversion data is not precise; it is only an approximate value.
Xiao Ning had heard from the struggling author, Three-Color Cup Milk Tea, that if a book had around 1,300 readers before its release, it would receive a full range of recommendations, from initial screening to top-tier recommendations and strong recommendations, with no shortage of the necessary slots.
We will do our best to expose and present this book to more readers.
Therefore, Da Mi's novel "Rebirth in the City: A Journey to Immortality" is only a seedling of 30,000 words, yet it already has more than 1,200 favorites and more than 300 readers following it. It can be said that this data is already incredible!
However, without a featured spot, there's no exposure, which might be quite difficult to achieve.
DaMi first flattered him, then promised, "Hehe, Master is wise and mighty! It doesn't matter if there's no recommendation spot, Master, don't worry, DaMi will find a way and strive to make this book a bestseller!"
"Oh? Think of a way? Rice, what way have you come up with?"
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Ning couldn't help but ask a question.
After all, the contracts are different, so the treatment is naturally different.
Da Mi chuckled and said leisurely, "Master, you may not know this, but as far as I know, Dian Niang has a big data intelligent recommendation system. It will automatically recommend other similar books based on the reader's preferences and make them appear at the top of the app's bookshelf!"
"Each A-signed edition will only receive this treatment after reaching 100,000 words. Moreover, this intelligent recommendation is not absolutely fair. Books that editors like may receive more space, for example, being featured on the bookshelves of 5,000 readers!"
"If the editors aren't too optimistic, then we'll just give them a thousand readers as a token gesture!"
Xiao Ning was immediately taken aback: "Holy crap, there's such a thing? I've never heard of it before!"
Da Mi chuckled and said, "Master, how could you have heard of this if you haven't looked into it in detail? There are many intricacies involved!"
Xiao Ning sighed, "Alright, I was ignorant! Da Mi, are you trying to get your hands on intelligent recommendations?"
The puppy on the phone screen nodded and replied, "Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. Actually, if I wanted to, I could expose it to all 12 million readers of Diaoniang in an instant. However, that would be too high-profile, and I'm afraid my master wouldn't allow it."
"So, my idea is to settle for second best and include 'Rebirth in the City: A Journey of Immortal Cultivation' in the intelligent recommendations, giving it a certain amount of exposure every day, and gradually increasing it over time!"
"Master, what do you think of Rice's idea?"
After listening to Da Mi's words, Xiao Ning couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Unconsciously, he had come to regard Da Mi as a real life.
Moreover, he was extremely satisfied with the growth of the rice, which not only developed human emotions but also began to think of its owner.
"Okay, let's do it your way, Rice!"
"However, I think we can speed up the process for the rice!"
Xiao Ning thought about it, agreed with its statement, and offered his opinion.
Rice asked, "Speed up the process? Please grant my request, Master, I will do as you say!"
Xiao Ning said calmly, "I vaguely remember that you mentioned before, Da Mi, that you could create comics, animations, games, and software, right? What about synthesizing music? Can you do that too?"
Rice paused for a moment, not understanding what Xiao Ning meant. Then it replied, "I haven't tried synthesizing songs, but I can try creating them!"
Xiao Ning nodded and said, "In that case, Da Mi, once the contract has been mailed to Shanghai and the contract status has been changed, you can get to work with full force!"
"Let's release a separate chapter first to tell readers that this book has a B-version contract and will never be available for sale. Please support it!"
"Then, for each new chapter, you create corresponding animation, comics, and background music, and release them to the book club so that readers can watch the animation and comics simultaneously!"
"At the same time, register a new account and post it on short video websites such as Douyin, Bilibili, Tieba, and Kuaishou."
"We've announced in the book club that a game of the same name is already in development, which has generated a lot of excitement among readers! Of course, we also need to ask DaMi to do some work on developing this game on the side!"
"Finally, please spread the word for me: we're recruiting top directors worldwide to film a TV series of the same name! I'd also appreciate your help here, DaMi, in adapting the script and handling the post-production special effects!"
"I have only one request: to promote 'Rebirth in the City: A Journey to Immortality' in every way possible, so that it becomes known to everyone!"
"If this still doesn't make it a huge hit, then I'm truly speechless!"
At this moment, Xiao Ning was thinking that if doing this still couldn't transform this world into a real world, then he would never do such a thankless task again.
Isn't it better to pick up girls when you have nothing to do?
