Chapter 433: The Grand Blueprint
After the sales results of this issue came out, the industry insiders almost couldn't calm down, so don't you give the rest of the people a way to live?
The number of places in the top 100 is so small, Zhang Chu alone occupies seven, this terrifying proportion is simply appalling!
Those who are more popular than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as popular.
Zhang Chu's strange flower really puzzled writers, publishers and other commentators, and the release of "Sou Shen Ji" was not in accordance with common sense at all.
People are slowly publishing books one by one.,But this product is good.,First serialized more than half of it on the Internet.,And then directly release the whole collection in one go.,Not only can the complete works be sold.,The sales of the fascicle are also not low.。
"Could there be a problem with this data? Otherwise, Zhang Chu's popularity would be too explosive!"
"Nanhai Publishing Company has finally found a cash cow now, but unfortunately they shouldn't have let "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" go in the first place, and if they dig up Zhang Chu now, it is estimated that it will be too late. ”
"The sales method of "Sou Shen Ji" can also be a big hit, Zhang Chu is really popular and can be willful!"
"It is estimated that "The Legend of Wukong" will be a hit again in a month or two, why can't we meet such a genius writer. ”
"Zhang Chu is so powerful, will his classmates in the same major be able to write excellent works? Perhaps only young people can accurately grasp the preferences of young readers now. ”
The CEOs of publishing houses are very greedy, and there are authors who have become popular every year, but most of them struggle to maintain the quality in their subsequent works.
Zhang Chu has made progress in every book, and the scope of his writing is very broad, and the sales of books by one person can be compared to that of a group of authors!
In addition to industry insiders, the media will never let go of this opportunity, and the attention of the book sales list has not always been comparable to the box office of movies, TV series ratings and music album sales, this time it is very different.
Many media have reported on it, who made Zhang Chu responsible for traffic recently!
A young writer hidden behind his works is now more popular than those who really take the traffic route.
Yangtze Evening News: ["Sou Shen Ji" easily topped the list of fiction books]
China Economic Net: [The General Administration of Press and Publication announced yesterday's sales list: "Sou Shen Ji" won the sales championship and defeated all books!]
New Wave Reading: [New Book Bestseller List|In the past 24 hours, this book has swept the sales list of all types of books on the Internet]
Net.Yi Kuaibao: [Zhang Chu's 7 books are on the list, opening the crazy slaughter list mode, becoming the most ferocious dark horse in 2019!]
Teng Xun News: [This is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other!] "Sou Shen Ji" overpowers "Psychological Crime" and ascends the single-day sales throne strongly!]
Chutian Metropolis Daily: [No. 1 bestseller on Amazon, No. 1 in Kindle e-book downloads, No. 1 in sales on Dangdang.com in the last 24 hours, No. 1 on the Jingdong Book Weekly List...... "Sou Shen Ji" has opened a strong crushing mode, and it is selling well online and offline!]
A slightly well-known newspaper or news media is reporting on it, and although everyone's news headline is different, they are all reporting the same content.
Zhang Chu's readers were not too surprised by such a result, as if in their eyes, it was a matter of course that "Sou Shen Ji" sold well.
"It's so powerful.,It's the first time I've seen this kind of serialization halfway through.,The author who directly sent out all the content behind.。 I only bought the last three books, and I went back and read them all in one go!"
"This number is actually a bit disappointing, I thought it would break one million in the first week!"
"Upstairs, if you multiply the 500,000 sales of the complete works by 6 of the books, then the sales will be 3 million copies, plus tens of thousands of copies sold in a single volume, this should be the first work to sell more than 3 million in a single day, right?"
"That's right, but the official didn't recognize it, they just treated the complete works of "Sou Shen Ji" as a book. ”
"It's a pity, but it's still awesome. How much money did Zhang Chuda make in one day?"
"Everyone, let's do well, buy the genuine complete works of "Sou Shen Ji", and raise money for this poor college student to buy a big villa!"
And some netizens who haven't read it can't help but be curious because of the bombardment of these news, wanting to see why this book is so good and why it can be loved by so many readers!
After all, the works that can sweep so many rankings are by no means bad, and the reviews on the Internet are quite good.
"Well, I just searched and found that this book was actually serialized at the origin, but it hasn't been serialized over there yet. I'd better just buy an e-book!"
"Is there a free chapter to read? go and see if it's my cup of tea. ”
"I'm scared to death, I thought Teacher Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji" turned out to be Zhang Chu's!"
"I've seen the beginning before, I've been raised all the time, and now I can finally slaughter it!"
With its excellent performance on the first day of release, "Sou Shen Ji" finally fought its way out of the movie promotion of "Psychological Crime" and the discussion of "The Legend of Wukong", and successfully appeared on the online news.
……
In the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House, Zhang Huaiming sighed: "If Zhang Chu can treat "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" with one-tenth of "Sou Shen Ji", then I will be satisfied!"
"Director, you still urge him to write a draft, you see that he is now writing "The Legend of Wukong" again, and the ghost knows when our "Ghost Blows the Lantern 2" will come out. Xiao Li is very greedy for the sales of Nanhai Publishing Company, and his publishing house finally united with so many channels last year to get the simplified publishing rights of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
As a result, after Zhang Chu wrote out the Exquisite Ancient City, there was no follow-up movement at all, as if he had forgotten about this series at all.
Zhang Huaiming thought about Xiao Li's proposal for a while, he nodded and said, "This idea can be had." In the words of you young people, it's to brush up on your presence!"
Xiao Li smiled, "It's a pity that we didn't keep Zhang Chu at the beginning, otherwise "Sou Shen Ji" would belong to us now." Now Nanhai Publishing Company must regard him more than the root of his life, and it is definitely unrealistic to dig him up again. ”
Obviously, it was already half of the success, and I thought that I would be relieved after the Ghost Blowing Lantern series of works arrived, but I didn't expect the Nanhai Publishing Company to directly give the most preferential offer.
After going around in circles, Zhang Chu's work still returned to the Nanhai Publishing Company, but left "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" outside.
Zhang Huaiming also sighed, private enterprises are more flexible and willing to spend money. It is not so simple for the Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House to give ultra-high royalties, and it has to be approved by the society.
In addition, they also have to take into account the opinions of the literary giants, and the well-known writers, poets, and scholars who are active in the Chinese literary scene have cooperated with their publishing houses.
If the royalties for Zhang Chu rise to 18% or even 20%, should the royalties of these literary bigwigs rise?
They can tolerate a young writer selling more than themselves, but they will never tolerate a young writer who has a higher royalty percentage than themselves, and the royalty percentage is to a large extent a status symbol!
Breaking the royalty structure of the entire publishing house for the sake of Zhang Chu doesn't seem particularly cost-effective, Zhang Chu is high, and the rest of the people have to be raised, it's a bit like the salary cap in the NBA team, and it has to be balanced.
Over the years, Zhang Huaiming has also watched the rise of best-selling authors, and their Yangtze River Literature and Art Publishing House has not fallen because of missing these writers, and it is still one of the top 100 publishing houses in the country!
After Xiao Li turned around and left, he picked up his mobile phone and called Zhou Kang.
"Lao Zhou, I have to congratulate you this time, you have released such a large satellite, and the single volume has sold more than three million, and there is no one before or since!"
Zhou Kang laughed heartily and replied: "Director Zhang said that he was joking, the official will not admit this record of 300 volumes, most of it depends on pre-sales." ”
In the past, he and Zhang Huaiming had no intersection at all, but now they can chat and joke with each other, mainly because they signed a god-level writer.
Zhang Huaiming shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether the official recognizes it or not, we just need to recognize it in the publishing industry." Count it yourself, how many of our well-known writers can push the pre-sale number to 400,000 copies? Zhang Chu, this kid has brought us too many surprises, this time "Sou Shen Ji" does not look simple, and you Menglong has unearthed a huge treasure. ”
"Where can we talk about treasures, now our company has licensed so many copyrights, and the revenue generated is too small. Director Zhang, you should call here today not just to congratulate you, right?"
"Congratulations is the most important thing, and there is another thing I want to ask Zhang Chu, I don't know when the writing of "Ghost Blows the Lantern 2" will start? Our publishing house often receives calls from readers, and we also receive a lot of letters, and everyone is looking forward to seeing that book as soon as possible. ”
Zhou Kang didn't know the other party's intention, it was nothing more than that the "Sou Shen Ji" written after seeing it was actually completed directly, but the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that he started to write before was only the first volume.
He thought about it for a while and decided to reveal the news: "Director Zhang, don't worry, in fact, Zhang Chu has always had the idea of the next few volumes of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but now we are negotiating with Yida Group on the IP of Ghost Blowing Lantern, and the negotiations are going quite smoothly at present. After the agreement is signed, the follow-up story will be quickly promoted. ”
"Yida Group? Isn't it Yida Pictures?" Zhou Huaiming was very surprised, if Yida Pictures took a fancy to the film and television prospects of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", he was not surprised at all, but why is it Yida Group?
Zhou Kang heard his doubts, and said again in a sure tone: "That's right, it's Yida Group." We have been negotiating for the eighth time, and most of the provisions are approaching agreement. When the time comes, with the promotion of Yida Group, book sales can be assured. ”
What can cooperate with Yida Group must be a full range of copyright creation, just revealing the corner of this grand blueprint, Director Zhou of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House has been so surprised that he can't keep his mouth shut!
