Text Chapter 66 Scandal
The popularity of "Dragon Babu" once became a social topic, and even appeared in news reports.
The thing is that a student in a middle school in a certain place peeked at "Dragon Babu" when he was in class and was found and confiscated by the head teacher, who expected that this student's "Dragon Babu" was bought by his father with great hard work, and he secretly took it to school from home. After the head teacher confiscated it, the student's parents came to the school to ask for it, but found that the single book of the novel was given to the principal as a gift by the head teacher.
After this news report came out, many people just laughed and laughed, but there was also a trend to give gifts to leaders or elders who claimed to be literati, and the single book of "Dragon Babu" turned out to be a very good choice.
Earlier, I sent calligraphy and paintings, inkstones, brushes and other things, and now I visit leaders or elders and bring a beautifully packaged "Tianlong Babu", which is also quite popular.
There are also many overseas Chinese, because the overseas distribution of "Dragon Babu" has not yet begun, many Chinese who also love "Dragon Babu" can't find it, and they have asked relatives and friends in China to send a copy to themselves, or when they come to China to visit relatives and travel, they will buy a few copies and take them back, making the single book of "Dragon Babu" evolve into a souvenir comparable to moon cakes.
These things are regarded as after-dinner topics for the people, but they can also see how hot "Dragon Babu" is.
Crown Publishing House is still in full swing to reprint, in the previous gambling agreement they signed with Fang Tianyu, as long as the sales volume of each single volume of "Dragon Babu" published within half a year is not less than eight million, Fang Tianwu can get a royalty ratio of 30% of the selling price.
But now the first volume of "Dragon Babu" has sold 5 million copies in less than a week, and it is not inconceivable that Crown Publishing House estimates that it will sell more than 10 million copies in a month.
Especially this is only the first volume, according to the number of words revealed by Fang Tianyu, the entire set of "Tianlong Babu" can have five volumes, and the sales volume of the next single book will not be lower than the first volume.
In other words, the gambling agreement was obviously won by Fang Tianhu's side. However, Crown Publishing House was not discouraged, but was glad that Geng Shancheng took the opportunity to win the exclusive publishing rights of "Dragon Babu".
The miracle of book sales exceeding 10 million in a single month would be a big loss if it fell into the hands of other publishing companies.
Even, because of this sales miracle, the stock price of Crown Publishing has risen sharply.
The sales frenzy of "Dragon Babu" not only pleased Crown Publishing House, but Wanshan Publishing Group was also overjoyed, because the popularity of "The Peerless Double Pride" was not weaker than that of "Dragon Babu".
With the test of "Dragon Babu", Wanshan Publishing Group has higher expectations for "The Peerless Double Pride". Before the first batch of 2.5 million copies of "The Peerless Twins" had not yet been shipped, Wanshan Group had already asked the printing house to print an additional 5 million copies, in order to prevent them from being scolded by book fans because they were out of stock, like Crown Publishing House.
Sure enough, with the experience of being swept away on the first day of the launch of the single book of "Dragon Babu". The night before the first volume of "The Peerless Twins" was put on the shelves, there were already zigzag queues in front of bookstores of all sizes, and there were even many scalpers surging out to compete for this expensive martial arts novel in Luoyang.
Living up to expectations, the first volume of "The Peerless Double Pride", priced at 28 yuan, was also instantly digested by the market, and because it was brought up by "Tianlong Babu", more than 5.2 million copies were sold within a week, breaking the record just set by "Tianlong Babu".
The sales miracle of two martial arts novels in a row has made martial arts novels, which were already in a state of decline, become a popular novel genre again, and many newcomers have invested in the creation of martial arts novels, making the martial arts literary world prosperous again.
Some of the early classics were also reprinted, and they also achieved good sales.
So far, Jin Yong and Gu Long, who have only debuted for a year, have officially become the leading figures in the martial arts literature industry, and have also become the most popular writers in China today.
In addition to the physical book publishing, many film and television companies came to the door, hoping to obtain the film and television adaptation rights of these two novels, but Fang Tianying had his own considerations, so Huang Jinshu refused.
With the success of sales, when Huang Jinshu, on behalf of Fang Tianyu, proposed to ask Crown Publishing House to pay part of the remuneration in advance, Geng Shancheng agreed without thinking about it, and directly paid Fang Tianwu the 5 million copies of "Dragon Babu" that had been sold according to the royalty ratio of 30%.
That's 45 million yuan! This is only the first volume of "The Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon"!
In fact, there is still a large part of the payment of the crown publishing house that has not been recovered, and if it is to collect it all, it will take at least one or two months, but they did not hesitate to pay this part of the remuneration in advance, in order to build a good relationship with Fang Tianyu.
Following this favor, Crown Publishing House is also seeking cooperation in the overseas publishing of "Dragon Babu", after all, martial arts novels also have great potential in the overseas Chinese market.
Since the distribution cost of overseas publishing is higher than that of domestic publications, the royalty ratio provided by Crown Publishing House for Fang Tianyu is 25%.
Fang Tianyu didn't do much entanglement, and for the sake of them paying a large amount of remuneration, he handed over the overseas publication of "Tianlong Babu" to them.
All of a sudden, there were more than 45 million funds, and in the future, this generous remuneration would come one after another, Fang Tianyu finally put his mind at ease, at least in the short term, he would not worry about money.
After staying here in Suicheng for four days, Fang Tianwu had to rush back to Tanzhou to continue participating in "The Voice of Youth".
The Saturday night after tomorrow is the second session of the "Voice of Youth" national competition, because he has to deal with Fang Yicheng's affairs, Fang Tianwu has been absent from the rehearsals in the past few days.
In order to act cheaply, Fang Tianwu proposed that in the second game of seventeen into twelve, he directly chose the previously replaced "Do I Really Have Nothing".
Because this song Fang Tianyu has been rehearsed before, it can save a lot of time.
There is no objection from the organizer's side, firstly, Fang Tianyu is very precious now, as long as it is not a matter of principle, Shengshi Entertainment and Jiangnan Satellite TV will not embarrass him. Second, due to the turmoil of the showdown between Fang Tianwu and Zheng Xingliang before, "Do I Really Have Nothing" has also attracted much attention, after all, since Fang Tianwu's debut, none of the original works launched have disappointed.
When boarding the plane, Fang Tianwu unexpectedly ran into Yu Yunshu, who also set off from Suicheng to Tanzhou.
After Fang Tianwu sat down, he found that the person next to him was Yu Yunshu.
Sometimes Fang Tianwu also has to sigh that fate is a subtle and inexplicable thing that does exist, Yu Yunshu, as one of the chief judges of the competition, in fact, as long as she arrives before the competition, there is no need to advance a day or two, after all, she is a popular female singer, and her schedule is relatively dense.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. Looking at Yu Yunshu, who was beautiful, Fang Tianwu greeted with a smile.
Yu Yunshu also smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you here, big lover." ”
She called Fang Tianwu a "big lover" but there is no exaggeration at all, since Fang Tianwu sang "I am a little bird" at the competition, his popularity has reached a new peak, and I don't know how many girls in China are obsessed with this new star in the music scene.
Just like after Fang Tianwu sat down just now, several girls who recognized him came over to ask for autographs, and even those flight attendants stared at Fang Tianwu with glowing eyes, sending tea and water from time to time, just to increase the chance of contacting Fang Tianyu.
"Don't laugh at me. Fang Tianwu said: "Didn't you also say that you were obsessed with me in the game that day?
Yu Yunshu chuckled: "If I can't see it, it doesn't mean I'm lying, seriously, you sang "I'm a Little Bird" on stage that day, I really wanted to cry, you reminded me of those difficult days before." ”
She was born in a middle-class family and debuted as a talented musician, and it has been smooth sailing in the circle over the years, in fact, she has also had a lot of times in the trough, but she is not known to outsiders.
Fang Tianyu's "I Am a Little Bird" that day hooked out the sour helplessness in her heart at once, and it resonated violently.
At that moment, staring at Fang Tianwu on the stage, Yu Yunshu clearly heard the sound of his heart beating in addition to the melodious singing.
and the song "Ask" that Fang Tianwu gave him before, after Yu Yunshu went back, the more he sang and liked it, thinking to himself how someone could write a woman's sadness so thoroughly.
Yu Yunshu, who was based on the music scene with his musical talent, was also impressed by Fang Tianwu at that moment.
"Everyone has hard days, as long as you come out. Fang Tianwu smiled and said, "By the way, I refused your boss's invitation, he won't hate me, right?"
"Even if our boss is dissatisfied with you, he won't show it in front of us, his person, the city is very deep. ”
"Huh, it sounds like you have a lot of grudges against your boss. ”
Yu Yunshu was slightly startled, thinking about how to reveal his true feelings, but after thinking about it, Fang Tianyu shouldn't have done anything, otherwise he wouldn't have given "Q" to himself in a personal friendship.
So, Yu Yunshu glanced at him: "That's none of your business, anyway, you don't plan to join our company." ”
This was already a bit coquettish, and Fang Tianwu hurriedly raised his hand to surrender.
With Yu Yunshu as his company, the voyage of less than two hours does not seem dull.
It's just that Fang Tianwu and Yu Yunshu didn't expect that the scene of them walking out of the airport together was photographed by reporters, and it quickly spread on the blog that night.
The headline of this news is also very attractive - Fang Tianwu and Yu Yunshu returned from traveling together, and they entered and exited the pair, and the sister-brother love was officially exposed!
