Chapter 283: Tempting Data
The girl nodded heavily: "Well, it's very good! This book is popular on the Internet." ”
Hearing what the girl said, the staff suddenly became interested in the book Magic Princess, and wanted to see how good this book was.
Just when the staff's thoughts drifted away, the girl's voice sounded in her ears again.
"Handsome guy, when will this book be available?" the girl looked a little anxious.
The staff came back to his senses, took out his mobile phone, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call and ask." ”
The two girls had to wait patiently, hoping to buy the magic princess sooner, because the online update was suspended, and the following storyline was written in the physical book. This is also strongly requested by the publishing house, mainly to pursue sales, which can be regarded as a marketing strategy of the publishing house.
After the staff called, the girl couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?
Face this problem. The staff was a little embarrassed: "Two beauties, I'm so sorry! This book is so popular, I just asked other stores, it seems that the book was sold out as soon as it hit the shelves." I don't know exactly when it's available!"
As soon as these words came out, the two girls showed a bitter gourd face at the same time, and sighed in disappointment: "I knew that I should have come to the book city earlier." ”
The staff suddenly gave them a suggestion: "Otherwise, you can leave a contact information, and when this book is available, I will call you as soon as possible." ”
The girl thought for a while and agreed, "It's okay, then I'll trouble you." ”
"It doesn't matter!" the staff member smiled, and took out a notebook and began to jot down the contact information of the two girls.
As everyone knows, the author of the magic princess is right in front of them, but they don't know each other, and if they know that the original author is in the book city, they don't know what they will be excited about.
Fortunately, Du Mingyue likes to remain mysterious, although her photos have become popular on the Internet, her photos have become a mystery, many people are curious about what the Moon girl looks like, there are many kinds of suspicions on the Internet, all say that the Moon girl must be a big beauty, or a talented girl.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Du Mingwei was very happy, he didn't expect Du Mingyue to be so popular, and it was inexplicably hot.
"Mingyue, brother really didn't expect your book to sell so well!" Du Mingwei whispered incredibly.
Du Mingyue was very indifferent, and echoed: "I didn't expect it either. ”
Just as the two were talking, more people poured into Nanjiang Book City, which is the largest book city in Nanjiang, almost all of these people are students, and there are also white-collar workers or something, and they also asked the staff just now about the Magic Princess, and learned that it had been sold out, and everyone was very disappointed.
The whole book city is talking about the Moon Girl, and some say that the original author is a student. Others say that the original author is the female boss of the company.
Anyway, there are many kinds of speculations, Du Mingyue doesn't care at all, she plans to leave the book city, lest someone find out something for a while, she will be finished, she didn't think about being famous at all, she didn't expect it to become popular for some reason, she just wants to write, this is her only hobby.
At Du Mingyue's request, Du Mingwei followed her out of Nanjiang Book City, and just walked towards the pedestrian street square, Du Mingyue's mobile phone suddenly rang at this moment, she didn't know who called, and when she took out her mobile phone, her eyes were stunned for a moment.
Du Mingwei caught this expression and took the initiative to ask with concern: "Mingyue." What's wrong?"
Du Mingyue raised her head and responded: "The editor of the publishing house." ”
"Hurry up and pick it up, maybe I'm looking for you something. Du Mingwei urged.
Du Mingyue obediently answered the call from the editor of the publishing house, "Hey!
The editor-in-chief looked particularly excited on the other end of the phone: "Miss Yue, do you know? Your book has just been put on the shelves of major book cities today, less than an hour. All the major book stores are sold out, and it's too hot. ”
Du Mingyue didn't expect that other book cities were the same as Nanjiang Book City, and the magic princess was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves. This is the most popular book in the history of the book city, and the major book cities are out of stock, and they have called the suppliers one after another, hoping to supply them in time. Because more readers are waiting to buy books, this is an opportunity to make money, and no one wants to miss it.
As soon as the editor-in-chief finished speaking, he continued to say to Du Mingyue: "Moon girl." We intend to print another million copies. ”
Du Mingyue knew that the publishing house had printed a million copies for the first time, but she didn't expect it to be sold out in an hour, which was indeed a bit scary, and another million copies were printed. She also has no opinion, after all, the first part of the magic princess was signed by the publishing house, and they have this right.
"Okay, you can arrange it. Du Mingyue agreed.
Just said this. The editor-in-chief suddenly thought of another thing, the current Du Mingyue is their cash cow, he estimates that the first part of the magic princess, plus the sales of the foreign version. It is expected to sell tens of millions of copies, which is 300 million sales, which is a very tempting figure.
So, the editor-in-chief called. There is another idea.
"Moon girl, when are you going to write the second part of the Magic Princess?" the editor-in-chief asked purposefully, such a best-selling book must not fall into the hands of other publishing houses, that is a huge loss.
Faced with this question, Du Mingyue answered truthfully: "I plan to take a break and rest, and I have been studying quite hard recently." ”
"That's it!" The editor-in-chief hesitated for a moment, and then said to Du Mingyue: "Girl Yue." Why don't we sign the second contract of the magic princess first, what do you think?"
When asked this, Du Mingyue didn't answer in time, after all, she had no experience in this matter. I had to pin my hope on Du Mingwei, hesitated, covered the receiver of my mobile phone, and whispered to Du Mingwei beside me: "Brother." Are they going to sign my second copy of the Magic Princess, do they?"
Du Mingwei is now a veritable businessman, Du Mingyue's fire is on, he can't let go of such an opportunity. He knew that the price of the magic princess was 29.8 yuan, which was equivalent to thirty-one books, and if one million copies were printed, it would be thirty million, and if one million copies were printed, it would be sixty million.
Du Mingwei didn't expect this data to be so amazing, even if the cost is removed, the profit is quite considerable.
Thinking of this, Du Mingwei immediately made a decision to Du Mingyue, shook his head and said, "Don't sign it for the time being." ”
"Okay. Du Mingyue nodded obediently, and politely refused on the phone: "Let's talk about this later!"
When the editor-in-chief heard this, he understood very well. This matter should not be too urgent, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to be in a hurry, so I had to carefully answer: "Okay." Then I'll talk about this later, according to the provisions of the contract, we should pay you the manuscript fee after half a year, but I applied for it to the above, and I will pay you the shared manuscript fee today. ”
After Du Mingyue listened, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "How much?"
The editor-in-chief made a rough calculation on the phone and said, "After deducting taxes, there will be more than 2 million yuan! We will pay you the manuscript fee for the additional printing next month." ”
Hearing this figure, Du Mingyue was a little shocked, she didn't expect that she could get so much manuscript fee, which exceeded her expectations.
In this way, Du Mingyue ended the call with the editor-in-chief, and Du Mingyue couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart: "Brother, the publishing house has to pay me more than two million manuscript fees." ”
Du Mingwei remembered that the contract was 10 percent, and if it was 1 million copies, it would be almost more than 2 million, and the publishing house still made a lot of money.
If the first book of the Magic Princess can sell 10 million copies, it will be 300 million sales, which is really a lot of money, which suddenly made Du Mingwei a little moved.
The book is so popular, Du Mingwei is looking forward to the movie of the magic princess being filmed as soon as possible, and if it is released at that time, it is estimated that more people will look forward to it.
The two chatted about this, and unconsciously walked to the vicinity of the fountain on the pedestrian street, the magic supermarket continued to close the door for decoration, Du Mingyue's eyes immediately projected over, she also knew that Nanjiang Book City had only recently moved from here, but she didn't expect that the renovation would start so soon.
"It's being renovated here, why is the door still closed?" Du Mingyue asked with the same curiosity.
Hearing this question, Du Mingwei couldn't help laughing.
Du Mingyue was a little dazed: "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
Du Mingwei had no choice but to tell Du Mingyue the truth: "Mingyue, this place will be a magic supermarket in the future, and your brother and I have just rented this place not long ago." ”
The ghost blows the lamp
