Chapter 410: Please don't buy any more
For Gu Xiaobai's fans, Xiaobai's first "photo album", how can it be enough to buy only one?
Of course, I bought a book to collect, a book to read, and then a copy to cut and stick on the wall.
Oops, there are small whites on both sides of the front, and one is not enough to cut and stick, so you have to buy two!
Moreover, compared with other celebrities' photo albums, there are only some "messages" that look like chicken soup for the soul but actually have no content, Gu Xiaobai's book, every word in it is soaked with the author's hard work.
This is to buy a photo album and give away knowledge.
After all, this is a genuine collection of essays......
Of course, for publishers, they think they should sell essay collections and send photo albums......
But no matter what you sell or what you give, there is only one way to deal with such a huge demand.
Reprint!
Reprinted!
Keep printing!
No matter how much is printed, as long as it is on the shelves, it will be sold out instantly.
Later, the publisher was so frightened that they didn't know how much to print, and the book had already surpassed all their previous statistics, theoretical models, and market analysis......
And the cost of printing is too high, and the funds of the previous model can no longer keep up, so I have to open a pre-order in major online stores, and pay the money first and then deliver the goods.
Now it's a big game, and the number of pre-orders from fans has doubled.
What is the concept of a collection of essays rushing to the best-selling list of online booksellers such as JD.com, Dangdang, and Amazon?
The Northwest Historical Society and the Publishing House were almost smiling from ear to ear.
The two jointly held a press conference: "Here, on behalf of the Northwest Historical Society and the Northwest History Publishing House, I solemnly announce that in addition to the royalties that should be paid to Gu Xiaobai, we will donate 5 yuan to the 'Gu Xiaobai Institute of Acoustics' for every copy of this collection of papers to fund Gu Xiaobai's acoustic and historical research, hoping that Gu Xiaobai can write a better paper and publish a monograph one day." ”
Donating five dollars for a book doesn't seem like much.
But considering the cost itself, the profit of the bookseller channel, and the reasonable profit of the publishing house, it is actually a lot.
Part of the 5 yuan is that the publishing house has compressed its own profits, and because of large-scale printing, the publishing house can reduce the price with the printing house and cut out the funds.
After all, such a collection of essays, with hundreds of thousands of copies printed, is an absolute super-explosive book of the year, whether it is for the printing house or the online platform, the bargaining power is also leveraged.
And the publishing house came up with this sincerity in order to cooperate with Gu Xiaobai.
Such a collection of essays can sell so much, what if Gu Xiaobai publishes a monograph one day?
The leader of the publishing house has made a very wise decision, lose the present, buy the future!
"Here, we will first donate 2 million of the pre-order proceeds from the first 400,000 copies to the 'Gu Xiaobai Acoustics Research Institute'......"
At the meeting, a staff member from Dongyuan University was responsible for accepting the funds, because the object of the donation was the "Baisheng Institute", not Gu Xiaobai's private research institute "Baisheng Center".
After all, it is much easier to donate to a university than to a private institution.
And this donation ceremony caused a wave of enthusiastic response on the Internet, and Gu Xiaobai's fans generously donated money to Gu Xiaobai's laboratory.
The sales of this collection of essays went straight to one million copies......
It's magical.
After 2000 in China, it is well documented that the best-selling book is "Wolf Totem", which sold 20 million copies, but that is, the audience and pricing, are completely different from the collection of essays.
Gu Xiaobai's performance did not live up to the expectations of fans, and soon news came that the "Gu Xiaobai Institute of Acoustics" of Dongyuan University and the "Institute of Architectural Acoustics of Dongyuan University" jointly undertook the reconstruction project of Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower, in which Gu Xiaobai became one of the three special consultants of the project as a sophomore student.
When the news came, Gu Xiaobai's fans were thunderous, being able to support their idols, and supporting such an excellent idol, was very rewarding for every fan.
However, soon another bad news came, causing an uproar among fans on the Internet.
"Due to the heavy task of the research topic, Gu Xiaobai may be absent from Chang'an Station, the first stop of the Ten Cities Tour!"
What the heck?
Absent?
What's the point of that ten-city tour!
The Ten Cities Tour is a tour of the winners of the Dongwon University Song Contest.
In addition to Gu Xiaobai, Fu Wenyao and Wen Xiaowen have the most fans, followed by Hua Minyu , Zhu Qinan, etc.
But the next few people add up, and the fans are not more than half of Gu Xiaobai's.
After the news of the ten-city tour came out, netizens in these ten cities were crazy with happiness.
You can hear Gu Xiaobai singing at the door of your home, and one song is definitely not one, but many.
I was so happy!
Maybe Xiaobai will be a little kinder and bring the state dove band and 306 together?
The song "Yanyan" on the left, the song "Youth Xing" on the right, the "Champion Overture" on the left, and the song "You Are Cheap" on the right, make people feel the feeling of ice and fire......
What a cool word!
Therefore, as soon as the tickets for the first stop, Chang'an Station, were released, they were sold out.
On the Internet, there are even a lot of scalpers who increase their prices.
As soon as this news came out, there was a lot of grief on the Internet.
Xiaobai, you have changed, how can you be like this!
All kinds of scolding also followed, and the hopes for the idol were too high to go unanswered, making many fans feel that they had been humiliated.
Even if you don't scold, loss is inevitable.
Of course, there are also people who are scolding the organization that publishes the news: "The current media dare to guess anything casually, speculate throughout, and don't even have a serious interview, just because Xiaobai is busy, just send out this kind of article, and then add the word 'or', can you get rid of responsibility? Can you irresponsibly scribble?"
"People haven't even come out to speak!
But there is more and more related news, and there is a feeling of rumour.
Among all kinds of news, Gu Xiaobai has not come out to calm public opinion, and Gu Xiaobai's fans have slowly begun to fall silent, this rhythm is too familiar.
Gu Xiaobai has always been like this, he doesn't respond to online public opinion, doesn't evaluate, and slaps his face directly!
If Gu Xiaobai really wanted to be absent, he would have said it a long time ago, and these rumors that came out now must have been spread by someone behind the scenes.
What is still being discussed is the idle people in society, and there is a feeling that it is not too big to watch the excitement.
Seeing that the news was spreading and suddenly calmed down, another news came on the Internet, a person who claimed to be a true fan of Gu Xiaobai for ten years said: "Please, don't buy Xiaobai's essay collection anymore! Don't you understand it now? Xiaobai sings completely to make money to raise the laboratory, every time you buy a collection of Gu Xiaobai's papers, you are erasing a new song that has not yet been born, you are providing ammunition for Xiaobai's physical cells, you are killing Xiaobai's music cells, there is no buying and selling, there is no killing!" Save Xiaobai's music cells! Save Xiaobai's new songs! Give music a way to live!"
Somewhere in Beijing, the director of the marketing department of a publishing house, before sending this paragraph, deleted the last sentence of this paragraph with tears in his eyes: "Feng Yidong's photo album is unsalable, help us!"
