Chapter 77: The Shame of the Literati
Fan Yongjun has been anxious recently, and his younger brother is still lying in the hospital.
Now a small broken publishing house dares to send him a lawyer's letter?
Can ants shake elephants?
Fan Yongjun didn't take this matter seriously, he told the people in the public relations department to do it.
He had recently found out that Jiang Ming's father, Jiang Ping, had been in a car accident, and he went through the discharge procedures the next morning and went back to the countryside alive......
Then he also found out that night, and heard that Nantian, the son of the Nan family, was there.
Fan Yongjun knows that the Nan family has been engaged in the pharmaceutical industry, so maybe there is any elixir at home?
Fan Yongjun comforted Fan Yongguang, who was constantly going crazy in the hospital and beating up the nurse, and was about to go to Nanjia for help......
And Jiang Ming had to sigh, no wonder Nancheng Publishing House developed rapidly in the past few years, and their editor-in-chief was too awesome.
In 06, I knew that I had found a water army, and I also spent a lot of money on the homepage of the blog to buy a recommendation position!
A notice letter from Nancheng Publishing House appeared in front of the vast number of people who eat melons.
Not to mention, the common people of any era like to watch the liveliness, and they like the liveliness of the literati even more. I like to watch those sanctimonious literati tear their faces red.
The notice to the owner of the Nancheng Publishing House explained in a rhetorical manner that [Jiang Hai Tomorrow] is their author, and the article "The Son of Heaven" will be released within half a month. Although their publishing house has only been established for a year and is only a small publishing house, the copyright is inviolable!
Jiang Ming looked at the notification letter and was amazed, this editor-in-chief was simply a god.
Later, he was portrayed as a pitiful, poor, and hard-working man! Such a later life was actually bullied by the well-known screenwriter Lan Jiang?
At the end of the notification letter, Jiang Ming's first release time and the time of the script were posted.
It's lively now, and many people are talking about it......
[Snail]: It's hard to imagine that the TV series produced by Starlight Group is my favorite thing to watch, how can I do such a thing?
[I'm rich]: It's not hype, right? I'm most tired of some clowns jumping off the beam to rub the heat.
[A cat]: I went to read the article, it was pretty good, and I chased it.
Jiang Ming saw that because of this incident, the number of retweets of his latest chapter soared by tens of thousands.
Jiang Ming has to say that this editor-in-chief ...... Awesome.
The hype was known in '06.
I have seen the hype of stars in the entertainment industry, and it is rare to see the hype in the publishing circle.
Jiang Ming went to Asakawa City and his father had a car accident, so he didn't post the latest chapter for several days.
A group of readers who quietly forwarded it were confused.
Could it be that Jiang Hai is very sad because of this incident?
[Snow in December]: I heard that Jianghai is a big Beipiao family, and they are so poor that they eat steamed buns every day. Who knows his bank account number, I'll transfer some money to him.
[Flower Girl]: I heard that he was so poor that he still lived in Qiaodong, and sometimes he was so poor that he couldn't even eat steamed buns. I also asked for a bank account, and I could still afford it for a hundred dollars.
Then below is a bunch of messages of "ask for bank account number +10086, + ID card".
Jiang Ming wondered, why did so many people say that he lived in Qiaodong, couldn't afford to eat, could only eat steamed buns, and the rest of the money went to the Internet café to type?
Jiang Ming hesitated to send a notice, and Meow Meow contacted him.
[Meow Meow]: The first volume of "The Son of Heaven" has been proofread, and the ISBN has also come down. The editorial office plans to print 7,000 copies first.
Jiang Ming knew that it would be good if the physical book could sell 30,000 copies, and 100,000 copies would definitely be called a bestseller.
Those who can sell millions of copies are the best people.
Nancheng Publishing House made a prediction for Jiang Ming, and it would be good to be able to sell 7,000 copies. Many books sell two or three thousand copies and then they don't have ......
Jiang Ming touched his chin and asked, "How much did the book of the fairy tale king Huang Hu sell at the beginning?"
Meow Meow was stunned for a moment, and replied: There are more than 40,000 in total.
Jiang Ming thinks this level is good.
[Meow Meow]: One or two thousand copies of them were purchased and supported by Tang Langgongzi.
Jiang Ming: "......"
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and typed a few words on the computer.
[Jianghai Tomorrow]: I hope that there will be 10,000 copies in the first printing.
Meowth was a little surprised.
10,000 copies?
According to the signed contract, the number of first printing was in the "5,000 to 10,000 copies", and the editorial department chose the middle number after discussion.
I didn't expect Jiang Ming to be so confident?
[Jiang Hai Tomorrow]: I won't let you down.
Meow Meow thought about it and sent Jiang Ming's words to her boss.
……
People like to hold together, and the same is true for physical authors like Huang Hu.
After Huang Hu returned from Asakawa City, he received an invitation to a party from his friends in the circle.
As soon as he entered the venue, a man with a vertical score of three or seven points held Huang Hu's hand: "Mr. Huang Hu, my son likes to watch your "The Adventures of Little Pig" very much. ”
Another man stepped forward and said, "Mr. Huang Hu has become a fairy tale king with a book, and he is naturally powerful." I heard that your Piggy Adventures has sold over 70,000 copies on the market?"
Huang Hu raised his chin and said modestly: "Everyone is laughing, it's just clumsy." ”
The actual sales of that book were only more than 40,000, but the publicity was 70,000 or 80,000.
A group of people surrounded Huang Hu and walked into the venue, and many of the people who had already arrived were writers with one or two best-selling books.
A woman put down her teacup and asked curiously, "Mr. Huang Hu, I heard that you went to Asakawa City to discuss the next step of royalties?" ”
"Did you say how many copies were printed? At your current level, the first print should be at least 10,000 copies, right?"
Another chubby man immediately said: "Needless to say, Mr. Huang Hu is the fairy tale king of our Huaxia Kingdom." Is this still a collaboration with Southtown Press?"
How many people present envied Huang Hu? A newcomer actually won the favor of the prince of the Tang Sect in Asakawa City.
With Tang Lang's son behind his back, there is no problem in publishing anything. Will help anyway. I'm not afraid of sales problems at all.
Huang Hu's face was full of embarrassment.
It's really a pot that can't be opened!
He didn't find it at home, and he offended Tang Langgongzi.
The people present saw that Huang Hu didn't speak, and a group of people sneered in their hearts. Could it be that this person is still holding it?
"By the way, I heard that the blog is about Nancheng Publishing House and Starlight Group. ”
The chubby man just now was excited: "Yes, a small publishing house dared to sue the Starlight Group for Jiang Hai tomorrow, it was really an egg hitting a stone, and his courage was commendable." ”
Huang Hu's face changed, could it be that the person he was talking about was the young man he saw in the editorial office?
"I've read the man's "Son of Heaven" on the blog, and the character creation is very classic. If it is made into a TV series, it should be liked by the audience. A woman who is involved in the script industry said with a smile.
"How many copies of the book "The Son of Heaven" can be sold?" For literary circles, the most popular discussion is the number of copies sold in the book.
"Five or six thousand copies should be there. ”
"Hehe, I guess there can be a total of one or two thousand. The chubby man just now said with a smile.
Huang Hu, who had been quiet, suddenly smiled coldly: "If he can sell five thousand copies, I will count him as powerful!"
Everyone present was stunned and saw that Huang Hu's face was not good.
Huang Hu got up and said, "I still have some business, so I'll go back first." Without waiting for everyone to nod, Huang Hu turned around and left.
A man slapped the table in displeasure: "This yellow tiger is too arrogant, isn't it?
In the physical book industry, fairy tale books are very unpopular, and many people think that this kind of book can be written casually, after all, it is to coax children.
"Hehe, he's got moisture in here. If it weren't for someone behind me, let alone one or two thousand, I think I would have sold a few thousand copies at most!" said another woman indignantly.
After Huang Hu went back, he immediately wrote an article and published it in the newspaper......
The Shame of the Literati: When Will the Hype Stop?"
Huang Hu didn't mention Jiang Ming in the whole article, but only insinuated at Jiang Ming. Finally, he also appealed to everyone not to buy the book!
You're hype!
If you go to sue the Starlight Group, you are taking advantage of the heat! Will such a big Starlight Group take advantage of you?
You're still a literati, do you still want to be shameless? Do you have a bit of literati ethics?
After Jiang Ming saw this article, his heart was like a thousand grass and mud horses galloping.
This yellow tiger is the most shameless one, right?
