Chapter 58: Less Package Two Hot Sale After writing "The Last Military Expenditure of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty", Liu Hongmin's thoughts became much clearer and he gradually walked out of the shadow of a broken heart. Cha Jianying was not very pretty, and Liu Hongmin was not with her because of her looks. What really attracted Liu Hongmin was her straightforward personality and optimistic attitude. After Liu Hongmin received Luo Baoming's reply, he went to the house that Cha Jianying rented in Hong Kong, but he did not see Cha Jianying because she had gone to study in the United States. Liu Hongmin had anticipated this and was not disappointed. Luo Baoming also mentioned the broadcast of "Little Bao 2" in his mind. Because of the foreshadowing of "Little Bao 1", the ratings of the first episode of "Little Bao 2" were three times that of TVB. And after that, the ratings of "Little Bao 2" were higher and higher, until the finale, the ratings had reached seven times that of TVB. If TVB did not have a fixed audience, the multiple would be even higher. Shao Bao Er had just been aired, but the serialization of Shao Bao Er in Ming Pao had not yet ended. Many people wanted to know the subsequent plot of Shao Bao Er in advance, which increased the sales of Ming Pao again to 15 copies. The single-volume editions published by Sanlian Publishing House had a greater impact on sales than Ming Pao. They were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves and were even more popular than the one-in-a-pack edition. Seeing this, Liu Hongmin couldn't help but stand up and said, "Zhizhong, have you watched the 7 o'clock news these days?"
Zhao Zhizhong shook his head, "No! What's wrong?" "nothing!" Liu Hongmin shook his head and didn't speak out his guess. The hot sale of "Less Pack One" made international news, and now the hot sale of "Less Pack Two" would also make the 7 o'clock news? On May 5 this year, International News was merged into the 1 O'Clock News and became part of the O'Clock News, but the name International News was retained. Soon after, International News even dropped its name and was completely integrated into the O'Clock News. From then on, the 7 o'clock news became the top domestic news and a weather vane of political sentiment. If the hot-selling "Less Packages and Two" really makes the 7pm news, then it would prove that he is really on Xiyuan's attention list. For news of this level, the last time might have been a coincidence, but the last two times there was definitely something wrong. Zhao Zhizhong didn't know what Liu Hongmin was thinking, so he turned to ask the other two roommates. "Did you two see it?" Jiang Heng thought for a while and said, "I watched it for a few days." Liu Hongmin knew the answer without even listening to what he said. In fact, it was unnecessary to ask Zhao Zhizhong just now, because if his question really appeared in the news, these three people would definitely tell him immediately. No, I think everyone who knows him will tell him. After figuring it out, Liu Hongmin breathed a sigh of relief. He was not ready for this honor yet, after all, he was still a student. Even though he had decades more memories, he was still a nobody in that memory. As the saying goes, where you live changes your spirit, and where you grow changes your body. He still had the mentality of a nobody, and this mentality still flared up from time to time. The main reason why he can have his current achievements is because of the knowledge from the future and the "suicidal" character of his original body. Without one of these two things, Liu Hongmin would not be able to make a name for himself in this era. This is an era where everything is growing, but it is also an era of heavy shackles. If you want to break through the shackles, you must grow wildly and break the limitations of this era. The money he earned from the two Shao Bao films was more than he had ever earned in his previous life. After experiencing poverty and wealth, and emotional turmoil, Liu Hongmin's impetuous heart slowly settled down. "The Last Military Expenditure of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty" is the beginning of this sedimentation. He re-invested his experience in classes and writing. He wanted to live a different life in this era. Liu Hongmin calmed down, but Xiangjiang was impetuous.
After the last cooperation, RTV, Ming Pao and Sanlian Publishing House cooperated more smoothly this time. The popularity of the TV series boosted the sales of Ming Pao; the serials in Ming Pao attracted people to buy the single volume; people who read the book but felt unsatisfied turned on the TV again. RTV did something really awesome this time, replaying "Less Package One" from the beginning during the day. This is a common tactic used by RTV. In the past six months, whenever TVB overshadows them, they will replay "Less Package One". However, this time, they not only replay "Less Package One", but also seamlessly replay "Less Package Two". The first broadcast of "Less Package Two" has not yet ended, so you are going too far. Many viewers who were not able to watch the entire show due to some unplanned matters became daytime viewers. Some people were too busy at work and asked their family members to help record the show so that they could watch it when they were free. Half a year later, Hong Kong was once again shrouded in the craze of Justice Bao. When the RTV employees saw the TVB people, they no longer dodged, but raised their heads arrogantly, almost rolling their eyes to the top of their heads. This was a rare opportunity for them to be proud and arrogant, so they were naturally as arrogant as they could be. TVB's popularity was so bad that they almost beat up RTV several times. They never thought that when they oppressed RTV in the past, their expressions were even more infuriating than RTV's current expressions. As the saying goes, every cause has its effect. Things may change over time. Now it is just a matter of changing fortunes. Ming Pao has no mortal enemy. Mr. Jin Yong couldn't stop smiling as he watched the sales of Ming Pao soar. He called Luo Baoming and said, "Baoming, you did a good job on Shaobao's job. I will give you a bonus." "Thank you sir!" Seeing that Mr. Jin Yong seemed very happy, Luo Baoming said, "Sir, Less than two is more popular than Less than one. I'm afraid that if it gets to Less than three, Liu Hongmin will ask for a fee." "It's already 70 per thousand words, and it's still going to go up?" Mr. Jin Yong was very dissatisfied. As a stingy person, no one could take money out of his wallet. Luo Baoming smiled awkwardly, "The last three parts of the first-tier package have already been paid 70 yuan per thousand words. The price of the second-tier package Liu Hongmin has not increased, but the price of the third-tier package will definitely increase. He is also a money-grubber, and because of the distance, he is more difficult to deal with than Mr. Ni." Mr. Jin Yong was silent for a while. He had negotiated Ni Kuang to a price of 80,000 words because of his face. Liu Hongmin would not give him face. Last time Liu Hongmin wanted to get the copyright of his novel, he refused. Moreover, he heard that his distant relative broke up the couple. It was good that Liu Hongmin did not hate him because of his hatred for him. "That's the deal for now, but we must get the serialization rights for Shao Baosan." "Okay, sir!" Luo Baoming nodded, secretly thinking about how to talk to Liu Hongmin. Sanlian Publishing House was bustling with activity. The sales of Shao Baoer's single volume hit a new high, exceeding 100,000 copies. Although the royalties for Liu Hongmin also increased, the publishing house also made more money. Sanlian Publishing House was not Ming Pao, which was stingy with bonuses, so everyone in Sanlian Publishing House was very happy, and they were just short of buying a few firecrackers to set off.
