Chapter 241 0241, Annual Ticket War (3)

On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and people are looking forward to celebrating the New Year more and more.

Entering the Lichun solar term, although spring has not yet arrived in the meteorological sense, its moody appearance has begun to show signs, and the most obvious change is that there are more drizzles.

Today's sunshine is not as long-lasting as yesterday, it is a bit obscured, and the temperature has dropped rapidly, but it's okay, at least it's not raining.

Yunfeng, Yunyun, Yunlin, three siblings, and Wang Defa are shopping for New Year's goods.

The arrival of "Little New Year" means that preparations for the New Year have to begin. From this day on, every household is busy.

In the north, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year, while in most parts of the south, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is the Little New Year, and some places regard the 15th day of the first lunar month as the Little New Year.

Here comes the point. Hangzhou does not have the term "Little New Year". It just calls the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day before New Year's Eve, "Little New Year's Eve", which is opposite to Big New Year's Eve.

Therefore, many Hangzhou people start their family reunion dinner on Little New Year's Eve.

In the supermarket.

Wang Defa found that Yunlin's cart was already filled with all kinds of snacks, and asked with a smile: "Xiaolin, you bought so many snacks, can you finish them?"

Yunlin glanced at the cart, it was not full yet, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Not much, not much, there are some for my brother, sister, and you."

Yunfeng and Yunyun smiled at each other, but did not expose him.

It's okay to buy a little more during the New Year.

When checking out at the checkout counter, Yunfeng's phone rang.

He took out his phone and looked at the number on it. It was Zheng Rong calling.

As soon as he pressed the answer button, a hearty laugh came from the other side: "Happy New Year, Xiaoyun!"

"Happy New Year." Yunfeng replied, and then said: "But Brother Zheng, isn't it a bit early to wish you a happy new year?"

Then, Zheng Rong changed his tone and asked: "You haven't read the annual popularity list of readers of various novels and comics magazines today?"

Yunfeng replied: "No, I went out early in the morning and I'm still outside now."

As he said that, he joked, "What's wrong, Brother Zheng, is it possible that my first place is gone?"

Zheng Rong said quite seriously: "I called to talk about this. In the morning, you were still the first, but after twelve o'clock, Fang Yan's votes began to soar, and now he has surpassed you."

Uh...

Yunfeng's smile froze.

Is the first place really gone?

I remember that when I saw it last night, Fang Yan's votes were still 100,000 short of mine.

"You are still so indifferent to this kind of thing. It really fits the saying 'The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.'"

"I think it may be that Penguin Comics Network has gathered all its resources to use Fang Yan to compete with you for the first place."

"Okay, no more talking. I will put a few pop-up ads on our website to canvass votes for you. You should also canvass votes through your channels. The first place can't be handed over to others like this!"

...

Hang up the phone.

Yunfeng raised his eyebrows. It seems that he was blocked by the joint attack again.

Click on the official WeChat circle of this award...

As soon as you see it, you will see the voting channel and the real-time ranking list.

First, Fang Yan, 1771400 votes.

Second, Yunfeng, 1688102 votes.

Third, Feiyu Team, 1545050 votes.

Fourth, Aurora Studio, 1510354 votes.

Fifth, Pindao Wude, 1433229 votes.

…

The difference between the first and second place is still about 100,000 votes, but Yunfeng and Fangyan have swapped positions.

The Yinmei Studio under Penguin Comics has dropped from third to tenth, and the number of votes has hardly changed compared to yesterday.

Sure enough…

As Zheng Rong analyzed, Penguin Comics chose to promote Fang Yan.

Now it seems that they are not too stupid, knowing that the dispersion of resources is very disadvantageous for the competition for the first place.

Although Penguin Comics is an online website, the publishing rights are sold to Zhiyin Comics Magazine, whose offline sales are second only to Manga DreamWorks.

However, there are many works and the votes are relatively scattered, but if they can be gathered together, it will be incredible.

Perhaps, the fans of those comic writers and comic studios who have not signed contracts with their website cannot be summoned, but the fans of their Yinmei Studio can be summoned.

Not to say that one call will get a hundred responses, but at least one call will get ten responses.

Is this malicious vote swiping or buying votes?

It is definitely not vote-rigging, the risk is too great, and the punishment for vote-rigging on Blue Star is very severe, so such a large website will not do it.

There is no purchase of votes, because there is no transaction or exchange of interests, and the votes are voluntarily cast by fans.

There is no rule that a comic/an author cannot canvass votes for another comic/an author.

At this time, Wang Defa saw that Yunfeng had a frown on his face and was looking at his mobile phone, so he came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yunfeng did not answer, but handed the phone to him.

Wang Defa squinted and exclaimed, "Damn, what's going on, the chrysanthemum was actually exploded!"

Yunfeng glared and said, "What are you talking about..."

Wang De glanced around and saw that no one was looking at him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly, "Excited, excited."

Then he frowned and said, "How come Fang Yan's votes increased by nearly 200,000 overnight?"

Yunfeng replied: "It should be the fans of the comic "Tianxia" who voted."

Wang Defa was surprised and said: "Isn't the comic "Tianxia" from Yinmei Studio?"

Before he finished speaking, he reacted and blurted out: "Oh my god, can it be like this?"

Yunfeng smiled and said: "This is actually similar to me soliciting votes from book fans and song fans."

"No, no, no..." Wang Defa shook his head and said: "The nature is still different. You solicit your fans, and he solicits other people's fans."

Yunfeng thought it didn't matter.

Wang Defa pushed his cart in front of him and said: "I'll leave the checkout to you. I'll call Lao Ma and catch up with the votes."

From this moment on, this annual vote war officially started!

[You Ai Xiang]: XDM, the voting channel will be closed at 6 pm, hurry up and vote for Yunfeng.

[Poor monk Dharma name Lanni]: Is the bookstore closed for the New Year? I'm going to buy a journal now.

[Qinghui]: If there are friends around you who have not voted yet, please call or send a WeChat message to remind them, thank you.

[Bumei Juanchang Geng]: How dare you blow up your big asshole? This is intolerable, you must blow it back!

[Look at how she looks]: If I were second, this year would be meaningless.

…

Yunfeng's fans are quite cohesive. As soon as the message of asking for votes came out, there were countless responses.

"Members of the Immortal Alliance come to support!"

"Biyao Harem Group come to support!"

"Ryukawa Kaede Cheerleading Group come to support!"

"Fans of "Detective Conan" come to support!"

"Fans of the song come to support!"

…

Yunfeng saw these hot comments under his WeChat circle and felt a little amused.

What the hell is "Biyao Harem Group"?

When did "Fans of the song" come into being?

"Ryukawa Kaede Cheerleading Group" is too much, right?

But…

Why do I feel a little excited all of a sudden?

With many fans rushing to spread the word, many fans with votes went to the official WeChat circle of this award to vote.

For a time, Yunfeng's votes soared.

At this time.

In a rental house in Shanghai.

Fang Yan and his friend and agent Lu Qi were constantly refreshing the rankings.

They did not go home for the New Year.

Seeing Yunfeng's votes catch up.

Fang Yan's face was as gloomy as water, and he said: "The situation is not optimistic, you call the company."

Lu Qi nodded and said: "Okay, I'll call now."

When Fang Yan was in Yinmei Studio, he won the first place in the annual vote, but that was the honor of the entire team after all, not an individual.

The reason why he chose to leave Yinmei Studio to work alone was because he had a strange obsession with the title of "Comic Master".

Now, there is only one opponent left to the first place - Yunfeng!

However…

No one expected that Yunfeng and Fangyan, who had been unilaterally crushing the latter since the first quarter, would become the main competitors in the annual vote.

So, when both sides were frantically canvassing for votes, people in the industry were just watching the show.

“These are the two strongest new comic writers last year, right?”

“Only Yunfeng can be considered a newcomer, Fangyan worked in Yinmei Studio for several years before.”

“Don’t forget, Yunfeng crossed over from the online literature world to the comics world.”

“In my opinion, the final winner is Yunfeng, after all, he has fans of books, songs, and comics.”

“It’s hard to say, people who listen to music and read books may not like to read comics, and Penguin Comics Network has allocated all its resources to Fangyan.”

…

After being suppressed for a whole year, Fangyan has become much stronger and will not be affected by these comments from the outside world.

Now, he is thinking about how to get some more votes back.

Only for one goal!

First place in the annual vote!
