Chapter 122: Penguin Music and Netcloud Music (Part 2 Subscription)
"Lao Qu, this, this, what does it mean for readers to send so many blades?
Qin Dalei looked at the blades everywhere and asked Qu Jiayang in a panic.
"Don't panic, it's not a big problem. ”
Qu Jiayang smiled and explained: "Lao Qin, the blade that the author received from the reader is actually a special symbolic meaning. ”
"What?"
Qin Dalei didn't know much about this aspect either, and he looked confused.
"In the past, our publishing house published a fire book, and we also received blades from readers, but later I learned that it was because readers liked the book too much, but they couldn't buy it, and they wanted to see the content behind, so they sent blades to urge it to be published. ”
As soon as Qu Jiayang explained this, Qin Dalei breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see, does this mean that my son's "The Hobbit" is even more popular than imagined?"
"That's right, the day before yesterday we started printing the second batch of 100,000 copies of The Hobbit, and if it sells well, the third batch will be ready to print 1 million copies. ”
"A million copies!"
Qin Da Lei was shocked.
Even Qin Junhao glanced at Uncle Qu in surprise when he heard this third batch of printing and publishing data.
What is the concept of a million physical books.
Qin Dalei didn't know.
Qin Junhao knows very well that due to the sluggishness of the physical publishing industry in recent years, there are very few writers who sell millions of copies.
Many of the most popular writers have published new books that may not sell a million copies.
If the one million copies printed in the third batch can really be sold, then Qin Junhao will be a million-selling author.
"That's more than three million shared manuscript fees!"
Qin Dalei calculated the manuscript fee of one million copies for the first time, which was indeed more than three million.
"That's right, after deducting taxes, I can probably get a little more than three million. Qu Jiayang nodded with a smile and said: "Xiao Junhao, your "Hobbit" has performed too well, I hope that the second batch of 100,000 copies published can sell well." ”
"When will it go on sale?"
Qin Junhao asked curiously.
"This time we are more prepared, the day before yesterday we started printing reserves, and now the various distribution channels have already got the book. ”
Qu Jiayang said seriously: "The specific start time, our publishing house is set for the day after tomorrow, Xiao Junhao, do you have any ideas?"
"Yes. ”
Qin Junhao nodded and replied unambiguously.
"Oh?"
Qu Jiayang was interested and asked, "Let's hear about it." ”
So Qin Junhao sat on the sofa and said slowly: "Uncle Qu, tonight's "Xia Guo Poetry Conference" is about to start, so it's better to set the sales time of "The Hobbit" tonight, and I can still drain it on Weibo." ”
"Is it going to start tonight?"
"Yes, you don't know?" Qin Dalei walked over and patted Lao Qu on the shoulder.
"Uh, maybe I'm too busy, I didn't pay much attention to it, if it starts tonight, Xiao Junhao I remember that you appeared in the first issue, and then won the poetry champion, right? ”
"Uh-huh, yes, Uncle Qu. ”
"In this way, as soon as "Xia Guo Poetry Conference" is broadcast tonight, Xiao Junhao, you will definitely be popular, so if you drain the stream, it is indeed feasible. ”
"My son's Weibo has more than 500,000 followers. Qin Dalei said proudly.
"Is that a bit powerful, Xiao Junhao, the operation you said is feasible, then I will contact the distribution channels and set the sales time for tonight...... when will the "Xia Guo Poetry Conference" be broadcast?"
"It starts at 8 p.m. ”
"Let's set the start time of "The Hobbit" at 10 o'clock tonight, which is not yet sleep for most young people. ”
Qu Jiayang pondered, and then made up his mind.
The second batch of 100,000 copies of The Hobbit will be sold tonight.
This time, all the 100,000 copies were given to the online sales platform Dangshu.com and JD Mall, because physical bookstores really can't sell much.
According to the data that Jiang Cheng got the feedback from the physical bookstore of "The Hobbit".
Of the 2,000 copies of "The Hobbit" that were sent to the Jiangcheng bookstore, more than 1,100 copies have only been sold so far.
It's the age of the Internet, and even if readers buy physical books, they buy them online.
So Qu Jiayang called the manager of the sales department: "Hey, Lao Zhang, you inform Dangshu.com and JD Mall, let's set the sale time of "The Hobbit" at ten o'clock tonight, yes, yes, okay, that's all." ”
As the editor-in-chief of Jiangcheng Publishing House, Qu Jiayang still has the right to change the sales time of published books.
Just when Qu Jiayang had just finished making a phone call, Qin Dalei also answered a call.
"Who. ”
Qin Dalei saw that it was an unfamiliar phone number, and after muttering a word, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and answered the call.
"Hey, who?"
"May I ask if it's Mr. Qin Dalei?" a young woman's voice came from the phone.
When I heard that it was a woman, I also knew that [biquge.xyz] was called Qin Dalei.
Qin Dalei was instantly stunned.
Who's this?
I, Qin Dalei, didn't mess with flowers and grass outside.
"Yes, it's me, may I ask who you are?" Qin Dalei asked with a frown.
"Mr. Qin, I am Wang Yutong, the deputy manager of operations at Penguin Music, a subsidiary of Penguin Group. ”
On the phone, the young woman introduced herself.
"Oh, Penguin Music, do you have anything to do with me?" Qin Dalei faintly felt that Wang Yutong, the so-called deputy manager of Penguin Music Operations, was looking for his son.
"That's like this, Mr. Qin, I saw a short video of your son on the short music APP, and the song "Listen to Mother" is currently very popular on the Internet, is this song really original by your son?"
Wang Yutong asked.
"yes. ”
"Then the copyright of this song has not been sold to others, right?" Wang Yutong hurriedly asked: "What about our Penguin Music side, we have the idea of buying the copyright of your son's song "Listen to Mother", and then this song can be heard by the majority of netizens and listeners on our Penguin Music." ”
"Oh, that's it, you...... Wait a minute, a call came in. ”
Qin Dalei was on the phone with Wang Yutong, the deputy manager of Penguin Music Operations, when another call came in.
Because he was worried that his wife was calling, Qin Dalei said to this Wang Yutong: "I'll answer this call first, and I'll call you later." ”
"Okay, Mr. Qin. ”
After speaking, Qin Dalei hung up Wang Yutong's phone number first, and looked at the newly called phone number.
It's also an unfamiliar number, but there is a word marked "Netcloud Music" underneath.
"Dad, who's it?" Qin Junhao asked curiously.
"The phone I hung up just now is the deputy manager of the operations department of Penguin Music, and this call is from Netcloud Music. ”
Penguin music?
Net-cloud music?
Qin Junhao naturally knows these two music platforms very well, after all, Qin Junhao's [music] talent is almost full, and if he wants to take the music route in the future, he must have an in-depth understanding of these related platforms.
Penguin music is obvious.
It is a product of Penguin Group, and users needless to say, a large number of users of WeChat and Buckle can be users of Penguin Music.
NetEase Music is similar to NetEase Cloud on the earth in the previous life, and even the name is only one word missing.
These two music platforms are two of the three largest genuine music platforms in Xia Kingdom.
There's also one called Cool Sound.
