Chapter 340 - 340: Popularity Soars High, Causing The Website to Crash! (3)
[Breaking news, breaking news! Reader Jiang Family’s Little Sunflower, tipped Author Ningxin one million yuan! Congratulations to Author Ningxin for skyrocketing popularity! Become the first on the weekly ranking and the second on the monthly ranking on the website!]
Two pieces of explosive news were released in a row.
The readers enthusiastically expressed their congratulations to Ningxin.
Once again, they marveled at He sighed again. Little Sunflower’s generosity!
However, due to the overwhelming number of logins at the same time, the server that the technician had just repaired crashed again.
The officials were speechless.
It was time to invest in a better server.
Otherwise, with Ningxin’s popularity, frequent crashes might become the norm.
On the same day.
[Comic website crashed], [Ningxin updated 40 frames], [Ningxin angrily rebukes trolls], [Ningxin became the undisputed rising star in the comics world], [Ningxin’s online fans exceed 5 million], [A clear conscience]…
These seven or eight related trending topics quickly rose up and occupied the Weibo trending topics at the same time.
Her popularity surpassed even that of celebrities!
This scene also attracted many onlookers.
After reading the manga, most of them had fallen into the Ningxin fandom.
Jiang Yining also received a call from the comic website.
They asked her again if she was willing to be interviewed.
They had secured excellent resources for her, and it was a three-way cooperation to promote it. As for the other two, one was the most popular short video platform, and the other was the live-streaming platform with the most gamers.
The daily active users of both platforms added up to 600 million.
The official promotion for her would be comprehensive.
The two collaborating partners were both beneficial for the adaptation of comics into movies or animations. If this promotion succeeded, Ningxin’s works wouldn’t have to worry about selling the publishing rights!
However, the website had also informed her in advance.
This promotion would involve two authors. One was her, and the other was Yan Ruo.
Previously, when Yan Ruo’s works were posted on their platform, they had signed a promotion agreement.
Therefore, even if they were more optimistic about Ningxin now, they had to follow the agreement and promote Yan Ruo the same way.
They hoped Jiang Yining wouldn’t mind.
They also advised her that traffic and resources were the same. Whoever was more capable would be able to win more fans.
Jiang Yining didn’t mind.
Didn’t she join the comics industry to compete with Yan Ruo?
Now, the opportunity to compete on the same stage has come.
She was more than willing!
Jiang Yining agreed with the website’s representative.
The representative then cautiously asked, “By the way, Ningxin, can you show your face? Our publicity needs you to appear on camera.”
As a manga artist, Yan Ruo was stunningly beautiful.
When she first debuted, she was regarded as the little fairy of the manga author and the most beautiful person.
The representative was afraid that Jiang Yining’s looks might be too bad and readers would criticize her.
She couldn’t handle the pressure.
Jiang Yining guessed his thoughts, smiled, and said, “Show my face. No problem.”
“Okay, don’t worry. We’ll find the best cameraman.”
The beauty filter was turned to the maximum.
Was there anyone who wasn’t a beauty?
The representative was exhilarated!
Jiang Yining hummed lightly and ended the call.
In the hotel.
Jin Yuhua showed Yan Ruo the website’s publicity proposal.
Yan Ruo was furious and tore it into pieces.
“How could they make me promote together with Ningxin? I’ve been famous for so long, and I have high popularity overseas! How long had it been since Ningxin started drawing? This was really going too far! 1 don’t want to cooperate with their publicity. Whoever wants to go can go!”
Yan Ruo genuinely felt wronged.
Previously, she didn’t consider Ningxin as her enemy, even when Ningxin became popular later on.
She still thought of her as a third-rate manga artist!
After all, she was the daughter of Qi Bai’s disciple! She was related to a master of traditional Chinese painting!
Ningxin was nothing!
Now, this comic website was promoting her and Ningxin at the same time.
Wasn’t this placing them on the same level?
Yan Ruo didn’t even want to sign the film and television contract now and wanted to return to the United States immediately.
Jin Yuhua advised, “We’ve signed the agreement. If you don’t cooperate with their promotion, you’ll have to pay a hefty penalty.”
“I’ll pay. It’s not like I can’t afford it.” Her father could casually sell a painting for tens of millions, okay?
She really didn’t care about the compensation for breaching the contract.
“If you’re willing to pay, I won’t stop you. But think about what your father told you.” Jin Yuhua sat beside Yan Ruo and said, “Ah Ruo, actually, it’s good to promote with Ningxin. The promotion this time was going to be broadcast live, and you’ll have to show your face. No matter how Ningxin promotes and creates momentum, it won’t change her appearance, right? I have confidence in your looks”
Yan Ruo was beautiful and elegant. She was the campus belle of the university.
In reality, not many people could be prettier than her.
Ningxin had never shown her face, probably because she wasn’t attractive.
Humans are all sensory animals and focused on visual enjoyment.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many beautiful and handsome celebrities.
Similarly, regardless of how much Ningxin’s fans liked her before, when they saw the comparison of their looks with their own eyes, they would probably be greatly disappointed with their author.
By then, the promotional effect might be uncertain, and someone might win or lose..
