Chapter 259: Return to a Million
In Final Fantasy Magazine, the staff is anxiously waiting for the sales feedback of this issue, they were pulled into a cooperation circle by Mr. Chen of the origin Chinese network, seeing that the rest of the channels are in full swing, and their own magazine is finally going to send the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and the progress is far behind!
"I really don't know if this approach is right or wrong. ”
Qiao Peng, a staff member of the magazine's distribution department, muttered in a low voice that their magazine's position among fantasy publications is not particularly solid, and the market has been frequently eaten away by other magazines in recent years.
As the first fantasy magazine in China, Final Fantasy also made a name for itself in the continuous shopping, and under the attack of youth romance magazines, martial arts science fiction, and suspense reasoning magazines, and with the help of Internet popularity, it gained a firm foothold.
Success is also Xiao He defeat is also Xiao He, with the Internet fashion trend and readers' reading habits to stand on the final fantasy, it has also ushered in many competitors in the same field!
What fantasists, phantom kings, super good-looking, pavilions, fireworks, paintings, fantasy homes, new buds, south wind and other magazines have sprung up and have begun to seize the market.
The plate is so big, and the addition of all kinds of new magazines has made their sales from more than two million copies a problem at their peak to seven or eight hundred thousand one issue now.
If this sales are put on the rest of the magazines, I'm afraid I will wake up laughing when I sleep!
Just like the magazine "Years of Reasoning" that Zhang Chu originally submitted, the average issue is only more than 100,000 copies, and it is still the best in reasoning magazines at that level.
However, this is obviously not an ideal statistic for Final Fantasy, and they want to return to millions of sales.
Nowadays, there are more and more readers who watch fantasy, and the market is getting bigger, so there is no reason for sales to keep making up!
This time, Final Fantasy spent 5,000 yuan on 1,000 words to sign Zhang Chu's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is just one of the big moves, and in the next year, they plan to dig up the works of many fantasy gods.
If you want to improve your performance, you must be willing to spend money!
It has been almost half a year since Zhang Chu's work last appeared in a magazine, and the original "Sherlock" was published in the Mystery Magazine at a price of 500 words per thousand.
In half a year, the manuscript fee has increased tenfold, which is quite amazing!
If you usually give Zhang Chu the price of 5,000 yuan for 1,000 words, I'm afraid that Menglong Culture Media will not be able to pass the initial review at all.
It's not that it's too bloated, but it's not necessary to update the physical book content in the magazine first.
Fortunately, they came in a group this time, otherwise Final Fantasy would not have been able to get the magazine serialization qualification of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"!
5,000 yuan per word is a sky-high price for a writer who writes short stories, but it is nothing for a writer like Zhang Chu and others, who mainly focus on distribution entities.
10,000 words is only 50,000 yuan, 100,000 words are 500,000 yuan, and the full text of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" has a total of 240,000 words after Zhang Chu's substantial revision, which means that he can get a pre-tax manuscript fee of 1.2 million yuan from Final Fantasy.
And these manuscript fees are not paid all at once, and one issue of publication is given to one issue, which is almost 200,000 a month.
Now Zhang Chu relies on physical books and e-book sales every month, and he makes more than so much every month, purely to expand channels and increase the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
……
"How's the pre-sale going?" Zhou Yunqi walked up to Qiao Peng and asked a little nervously.
According to the scope of the distribution, the latest issue of "Final Fantasy" can basically be bought in the Yanjing area today, and the rest of the country will also be completed on the shelves in the next two days.
Qiao Peng pulled up the Excel file, and he explained: "The pre-sale has been fully closed, and now it has basically been shipped. The final figure is 125,000 copies, an increase of 30,000 copies from the next issue in November, and if it can be sold at this level in the later period, the probability of returning to one million is more than 70%!"
Zhou Yunqi is under a lot of pressure, the magazine is not profitable now, relying on sales and advertising, and removing various costs.
A magazine is not only Zhang Chu's manuscript fee, but also so many other writers, and the manuscript fee paid for each issue is quite amazing.
It takes a top god, and a first-line and second-tier writer to support the magazine.
"Well done, counting our original users, it should add up to almost 200,000 copies, right?"
Some loyal readers will use the method of ordering once a year, directly by postal or other couriers to their homes, companies, and schools, and this part of the readers is the favorite of every magazine.
In other words, "Final Fantasy December (Part I)" was only released, and its sales reached 200,000 copies, which made the entire magazine staff hopeful!
It's a powerful end to the past year, and if we do get back to millions in the last month, it will be a huge boost for next year's release, and even for every employee's wallet.
"It seems that we are not wrong to introduce "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at a high price. The stone in Zhou Yunqi's heart has finally landed, there is the origin of the Chinese network serialized publicity, there is Yanjing Radio station regularly broadcast every day, and there is Himalaya FM to accept listeners nationwide.
Before the end of this film, it has already attracted countless readers, and these readers are the target users of Final Fantasy.
After all, in this issue of the magazine, the fresh content of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was published, and more than 20,000 words were not covered by the online serialization!
At this time, the original point Chinese online was serialized on the plot of the archaeological team going to Xinjiang, and the final fantasy was published on the side of their arrival at the exquisite ancient city, and the 20,000 words in the middle are an excellent attraction.
When netizens repeatedly urged them to change, when they were full of expectations and worries about Hu Bayi and others' trip to the desert, 4,000 words a day was not enough!
And at this time, "Final Fantasy" appeared, and it actually published a lot of follow-up content, which is not random speculation, but a real follow-up, the kind that can be seamlessly connected!
Isn't it just five dollars?
Buy!
"Great, I can watch a lot of content at once this time. ”
"It turns out that the desert is so dangerous, not only because of the lack of water, but also because of the marching ants. ”
", I finally saw the content of Zhang Chuda's last video leak, it turns out that that sentence was said by Shirley Yang!"
"Exquisite country, ghost cave culture, exquisite queen, the follow-up is wonderful. ”
"Why do I feel like this Sydney Yang is hiding something?"
"She can't be the heroine, right? ”
"Wait, where did you all see that?"
Readers who bought the magazine first discussed it on the Internet, but netizens who didn't know were anxious, where did these guys see the content behind?
Fortunately, there are still people on the Internet who point out, "This issue of Final Fantasy can see the follow-up plot of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" Sand Sea Magic Nest, and you can buy it everywhere!"
"I'm stupid, don't you know if you go buy a copy of Final Fantasy? ”
Magazines were bought from newsstands, bookstores, Dangdang.com, Amazon, and Douban Reading, and Hu Bayi and others encountered sandstorms in the desert, were led by white camels to the ruins of a small ancient city, and were plagued by marching ants and quicksand.
The title of the Sand Sea Devil's Nest is not wrong at all!
