Chapter 242 Sales Miracle

The old man saw that two or three hours had passed, during which he had almost no other actions except for flipping the book, but he was bitter to the middle-aged man who fanned him next to him.

This old man read books very quickly, and in two or three hours, the first volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was turned by three-quarters. I saw him close the book and let out a long breath.

"Teacher, don't you want to read it anymore?" the middle-aged man asked.

The old man shook his head: "Let's read it together when the next volume comes out." ”

"Then, can you lend me this "Legend of Chu Liuxiang"?" the middle-aged man said tentatively.

The old man immediately put the book behind his back and said expressionlessly, "I'll read this book at night." ”

The middle-aged man was disappointed and helpless when he heard this, and after he got these two books, he immediately sent them to the old man, and he didn't read a word.

"Teacher, how is the handwriting?"

"Good!"

The old man only said one word, and then refused to continue the evaluation. After a while, he said to the middle-aged man, "Is it really impossible to contact them?

"Yes, these two haven't even tried to make half a public appearance all this time, and any news is released through blogs. The middle-aged man said with a bitter face: "I have been grinding Geng Shancheng and Wan Zining for a long time, but they are not willing to tell me the information of Lao Cha or Xiong Da." ”

Geng Shancheng is the editor-in-chief of Crown Press, while Wan Zining is the general manager of Wanshan Group. Earlier, these two publishing companies published "Tianlong Babu" and "Peerless Shuangjiao" respectively, since they can get the publishing rights, everyone thinks that they must know the true identity of Lao Cha and Xiong Da, so many people who want to find Lao Cha and Xiong Da have inquired about Crown Publishing House or Wanshan Group, but they have not been able to get any useful information.

The old man snorted: "Now that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" have not been published by them, they probably have a headache." What about that Huang Jinshu? Have you ever looked for her?"

"I've looked for it, but it's useless, that woman is not an ordinary character, and it's very difficult to deal with. When Huang Jinshu was mentioned, the middle-aged man's face showed a look of palpitation.

The old man didn't notice the change in the man's expression, and said to himself: "It's a pity, whether it is the previous "Dragon Babu", "Peerless Double Pride", or now "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they are all very good scripts." I haven't read this "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" yet, but I guess it's not much worse. If it can be filmed, it will definitely leave a heavy mark in the history of domestic TV dramas!"

"Teacher, I think if I say you want to find the two of them, they will probably meet you. The middle-aged man said.

The old man waved his hand and said slowly: "I have always been very curious about these two, their writing styles are completely different, but they are on the same platform and publish their works at the same time, to say that they have no connection with each other, I don't believe it."

Seeing that they can stand up for those new things, they have won two companies in succession, and they are not dull people, so they must know that their books are very suitable for film and television dramas. But they have never shown up, and they have avoided those people in the film and television company, I think they definitely have their own ideas, and they will not easily change for others. ”

"I think they're just here to live. The middle-aged man said, "In the end, it's not to sell for a good price?"

The old man smiled: "Of course, there will be such a reason, but I always feel that it will not be so simple." But forget it, just let it be, there are these two old books today, just send me wine!"

With that, the old man stood up and walked slowly to the room, holding the two books in his hands behind his waist, which looked very dazzling.

The middle-aged man didn't follow up, but shook his head with a complicated expression.

This person he called "teacher" is not an ordinary old man, but a very famous TV drama director in China - Ren Weichang.

Ren Weichang is 60 years old this year, and after entering the ranks of directors at the age of 40, he has filmed many popular TV series for CCTV for more than 20 years, including historical dramas and martial arts dramas, and is known as the best costume drama director in China.

And there are many young and middle-aged directors brought out by Ren Weichang, and there are some people who have worked under him and learned a lot from him.

After the age of sixty, Ren Weichang entered a state of retirement, he deliberately lowered his workload, and occasionally gave some advice to the CCTV film and television crew. Unless there is a good script that makes him tempted, it is very difficult to get him to play the handheld himself.

In the past four or five years, what has moved him the most is Lao Cha's previous publication of "Dragon Babu". At that time, as soon as he finished reading this book, he couldn't help but call the leaders of CCTV and said that he wanted to make it into a TV series.

CCTV itself is also very interested in this script, and the big director Ren Weichang took the initiative to ask for it, so he immediately sent someone to find Lao Cha.

However, almost a year has passed, but they still haven't found any trace of Lao Cha, and the matter has been forced to be shelved.

And this middle-aged man's name is Miao Song, and he is also a TV drama director, good at making urban dramas. In addition, Miao Song is also a tutor at the Beijing Drama Academy, teaching the directing profession.

As the 200,000 users received the book one after another and watched it, the word-of-mouth of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" quickly fermented, and those who read it basically said that they were good, and they commented that they couldn't wait to see the second volume.

Pity those who haven't even read the first volume, and can only wait for the second batch of single books to be released by the Maimai bookstore. And after the first batch of users tried it, everyone's doubts about the new shopping method of online shopping have been greatly reduced, and they are no longer as apprehensive as before.

Ten days after the first flash sale, Maimai Bookstore held its second online flash sale as scheduled, with 1 million copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" each on sale. Although the sales volume has increased tenfold this time, the bookstore still stipulates that each registered user can only buy one copy, and book lovers still have to choose one of the two sets.

With the extremely high reputation of these two films and the hunger and thirst of the market, people in the Internet industry speculate that the second sale of Maimai.com will still be very popular.

Many Internet companies are very concerned about the dynamics of Maimai.com, just to see how much energy this online shopping can explode.

But in the end, everyone was surprised, the two books totaled 2 million copies, and they were all sold in just five minutes!

Those Internet insiders who stare at the pages of the bookstore watched as the book purchase prompt went from "buy now" to "out of stock" in five minutes!

Even Zou Ming and Peng Qingguo, the high-level executives of Maimai.com, were shocked, feeling that this market was like a black hole that could not be filled.

has created such a record that is enough to frighten the entire domestic Internet, and the prospect of Maimai.com was immediately favored by many people in the industry.

Zou Ming and Pan Ziyu are even more determined that the online shopping platform has a lot to offer, and while they are excited about their entrepreneurial choice, they are also glad to have received the investment of Zhouguang Development. Because today's achievement, eighty percent is due to the development of Zhouguang.

The development funds are from Zhouguang, and Sky Book City was merged into Maimai.com after the acquisition of Zhouguang, and the indispensable payment platform of "Easy Pay" is also found by Zhouguang. Even "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", which have now become hits, are still paved by Zhouguang, so that Maimai.com and Tiancheng Culture can reach a cooperation.

Zou Ming is a well-informed person, so in addition to being happy, he is more afraid!

Huang Jinshu has already made it clear that if Maimai.com does not accept Zhouguang's joining, they will support another shopping website, and the first task is to defeat Maimai.com!

Now it seems that Huang Jinshu not only did not bluff, but obviously had comprehensive preparations. Looking at the step-by-step operation of Maimai.com, other shopping websites have been left far behind. If Zou Ming didn't succumb to Zhouguang at the beginning, then he would be thrown away now, and he would probably be eliminated by the market in the future.

In fact, what Zou Ming didn't know was that Huang Jinshu was also taken aback.

Sell two million copies in five minutes!

If it is a physical bookstore, I am afraid that all the bookstores in the country combined will not be able to do such a result. And shopping websites have such power!

Although such a record can be created, largely because of the popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", if there is no platform such as Maimai.com, everyone will not see such a miracle.

In fact, Huang Jinshu knows very well that the main purpose of Fang Tianyu's entry into the field of online shopping is to open up a distribution channel that is different from the traditional one, so that the records produced by Tiancheng Culture can sell well.

It's just that this is a bit of a cart before the horse in Huang Jinshu's opinion. Nowadays, online shopping seems to have no weaker development potential than blogs.

After this sale, Maimai Bookstore issued another notice that the next release will be a week later, and the sales of the two parts will reach 4 million copies, and users can also buy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" together, and there is no longer a rule of buying one of them.

In addition to the ecstatic Zou Ming, Peng Qingguo and others, people like Crown Publishing House, Wanshan Group and some retail booksellers are distressed.

Seeing that these two films were so popular, Maimai.com completely bypassed them and sold them directly to readers, so that they couldn't even drink a sip of soup let alone participate in this feast.

Geng Shancheng of Crown Publishing House and Wan Zining of Wanshan Group know the true identities of Lao Cha and Xiong Da, the only thing they don't know is that Lao Cha and Xiong Da are still the same person.

Geng Shancheng and Wan Zining have been in contact with Fang Tianwu since Lao Cha and Xiong Da announced the release of new books, but Fang Tianwu has no intention of cooperating with them in these two new books.
