Chapter 41: You Are Here
Although Fang Anxin understands these business models and content models, and can make this decision, she is really not interested in operating these cumbersome things. She is, at best, an ideaner, rather than a laborer-ready executor.
The rough agreement was that in order to standardize the management process and finances in the future, Yue Qingyan, Ming Qian and the Book Club jointly established a new company, with Yue Qingyan holding 51% of the shares, the Book Club holding 30% of the shares, and Ming Qian holding 20% of the shares. Yue Qingyan invested in the company in advance and began to carry out preliminary operations with the comprehensive offline operation authority of "Yinying" and all the works created in the future and 2 million yuan. The person in charge of the contact person of the book club is Fang Anxin, and the contact person before Ming is Xu Yingying.
The registered capital of this company is 5 million. Anyway, now there is no need to subscribe to this amount in advance to start a company, so it will be put on hold. The name of the company is "SH Silver Pages Culture Communication Co., Ltd.", which means "the history of the galaxy has turned another page".
From now on, the company will hand over the organization of all offline activities to the silver page company, and at present, it is these people in the book club.
This arrangement is slightly different from the previous plan before the Ming Dynasty, and Yue Qingyan's plan. The preparation of the silver page culture at least allowed Yue Qingyan not to hang the people he wanted to recruit on the side of the Ming Dynasty first. In this way, it is good for everyone, and a clear cooperation and equity structure can be conducive to the comprehensive development of all parties. The matter of running the relevant procedures was entrusted to a special agency company and a law firm. Now, Yue Qingyan is also a person who can afford to hire a lawyer.
The company interviewed a series of employees, mainly two operations editors, two commercial, one administrative and human resources, one finance, and one assistant to Yue Qingyan. In addition to Yue Qingyan's assistant, this position is temporarily held by Mo Ersheng, and it is very troublesome to find the operation editor and business. Yue Qingyan has been writing manuscripts at home to catch up with the schedule, even if he has a meeting, he may not go to the company, but may be in his own home or in a nearby café, and he did not find out until September that there was an employee in the company he recognized, named Tong Yuelong, who served as the operations editor. And Tong Yuelong is not a very core reader, but her execution is too strong, and the efficiency of contacting all parties to implement the work is too high when the goal is clear. If Tong Yuelong hadn't been in charge of part of the business, the initial operation of Silver Pages Company would not have been able to advance smoothly at all.
Two weeks later, the third volume, "Awaiting the Chapter", went on sale. This time, the number of first prints was adjusted to 200,000 copies. Because the first two volumes of 150,000 copies have been sold out, the second brush replenishment has begun. This situation caught Ming Qian a little off guard. The company thought that the first printing of 150,000 copies was a courageous decision, but in the end it turned out to be conservative. The last time they sold more than 150,000 copies of this kind of series was several years ago.
After analyzing it, we found that the readership of "Yinying" may have played an important role. There are nearly 1 million collections on the site and around 200,000 active readers. It's not that many readers don't read, but they are not used to reading books on the Internet. Among them are quite old readers. As soon as the book was published, the physical book was purchased and read in a variety of ways. This can be seen from the sales figures of the whole network.
In addition, a huge order was placed for the library's collection. SH alone, plus the libraries at the district and county levels, plus universities, communities, etc., there are already more than 400 libraries. Even if half of them purchased 5 copies per volume, it would add up to several thousand. And how is it possible to prepare only five books for this kind of book that is not low in terms of saving rate and discount rate? Expanding to the whole country, due to the high degree of homogeneity of fantasy book works in the first half of the year, this high-quality work like "Yinying" is especially favored by institutional purchasers such as libraries. There are probably tens of thousands of books purchased by the library system from various systems in the country alone. With the best-selling of books, the Matthew effect itself has been further amplified, and various private bookstores across the country are selling goods very quickly, and bookstores are confident that they are stocking, which makes the sales figures more and more beautiful.
In this case, it is imperative to speed up the publication schedule in line with the subsequent work plan. Akira discussed with the website to shorten the reading progress gap between online serialization and publication to less than a month. That is, it has been published until the sixth volume, and it is very safe now.
Less than two weeks after the release of the third volume of "Awaiting the Chapter", the fourth volume of "Strategy" was also released with a first printing of 200,000 copies. Coupled with the printing of the first and second volumes, the company officially issued an announcement announcing that "Banquet Fire" has entered the million-copy sales club that many authors may not be able to enter in their lifetime. At this time, taking advantage of this craze, Yue Qingyan's first readers' meeting began to take place.
"Thank you. This was the first thing Yue Qingyan said when he stood on the huge stage and looked at the entire crowded venue. He bowed deeply to everyone.
This stage is usually a place where an entire dance troupe and orchestra perform, and some of the biggest musicals sing on it. But very peculiarly, Yue Qingyan didn't feel uncomfortable standing on it.
Looking at the PPT content projected on the huge screen, Yue Qingyan, as the author of "Yinying" and the boss of Yinye Culture, announced a series of development plans. Fans let out bursts of enthusiastic cheers and applause, especially the worldview development plan, the effect of the "Yinying Encyclopedia" that can be dynamically queried is simply cool, and the current development progress has made people soak in it for an unknown amount of time. As for the benefits of fans and members created by the same people and the part of sharing Yinying's long-term benefits, it made many fans present almost popular. Yue Qingyan is undoubtedly the most fan-friendly author and secondary creator so far. At most, other authors have released secondary creation authorizations, but Yue Qingyan has not only built a platform and introduced a series of benefits and support mechanisms, but also truly released many core creative permissions for this worldview. Before this meeting, although I had heard a lot about these things from those who had already started to cooperate with Yue Qingyan in the Thirteenth Fleet, they had not been officially released after all.
Ming Qian Company has relied on the explosive sales of "Yinying" in recent times, and has really done some solid promotion, and has also found partners who are interested in co-investing in the comic and animation adaptation of "Yinying". The other party is a fund that invests in cultural companies and projects, and injects 20 million yuan into the project known as "PROJECT Galaxy Heroes Legend" in the form of project financing. This is almost the most willing share to be released before tomorrow.
The other party actually wanted to inject money into the silver page at the same time, but the silver page culture was not interested at all. Yue Qingyan originally wanted to talk about it, but Fang Anxin said directly: "I won't ask my family if I am short of money? Who's going to have less money than who?"
Well, when she said this, she said it in front of other fund managers, and no matter how interested people were, they couldn't talk about it.
After receiving the injection of resources from all parties, including the fund, the system of "Yinying" began to expand at an accelerated pace. It is expected that the online serialization will be accelerated, and the entire series will be officially completed by October 1...... There's still some bad taste in it. Xu Yingying no matter what, she must release the "Magician, Never Return" on June 1.
Fortunately, it was still April when the readers' exchange meeting was held. Otherwise, it is estimated that the readers' exchange meeting will become a readers' denunciation meeting. Even now, this formation is really not much worse. After joining the Silver Pages Company, Fang Anxin had already read the ninth volume, and only the last volume was left, and it was probably not a few chapters before Yue Qingyan was completely finished. When she first read about Yang Weili's death, she completely ignored that it was already more than four o'clock in the morning, and insisted that the driver prepare the car and rushed directly to Yue Qingyan's house, grabbing the sleepy-eyed Yue Qingyan's collar and roaring: "Who gave you the right to let me down so much!"
Yue Qingyan had nothing else to say at that time, so he could only answer in a daze: Reinhardt said the same thing.
But after really continuing to read, I found that this is a reasonable setting, and it is also a setting that can make the whole work system appear deeper and sadder. I can't help it, although it has not been released online, but the seventh volume has actually been printed.
The comic has been launched, and everyone is currently very satisfied with the character design, painting style and plot advancement. Behind "Yinying", it can be said that it is currently the top comic creation team in the country. And the core character is from Jin Yuan, which is a treatment that even super S-level game works don't have. The manga is distributed in the form of a partial Japanese manga serialization plus a single book. The first volume of the single book has also been released, which probably covers the plot of two chapters of the novel. According to rough estimates, there must be about 40 volumes of manga in total, and if you add extras and the like, I'm afraid it will be expanded to 50 volumes. The first volume of the manga also sold quite well: 50,000 copies, with the possibility of further printing.
You must know that among these earnings, a large part of them will be included in Yue Qingyan's name, and then they will be stopped in the accounts of the company in the form of investment retention until they have saved enough numbers to become shares. Now, almost everyone who knows about this understands that three years is really no pressure for Yue Qingyan. If we hurry up, we may have that number by the middle of next year.
The anime will be released on February 20 next year, which is also an important anniversary in "Eunyoung", and the "Winter Rose Garden Edict" will be released. The launch and release of this series of anniversaries and special dates is also considerate to all fans.
Fans waited for a series of good news at the press conference, and the gentle and friendly Yue Qingyan signed more than 1,100 signed books for them. Because there were so many people, there wasn't actually a very clear Q&A session, just some interaction in the lottery session. But the fans are already very satisfied, and they have to see the animated version of the PV before everyone else. The national anthems and military anthems of the Empire and the Free Planets Alliance were also heard to the accompaniment of a symphony, and there was even a dance on stage between the senior officers of the Alliance and the Empire...... The 13th Fleet really gave full play to the dual advantages of the organizers and insiders, and the event was organized too intimately. Fans couldn't be more satisfied.
They will not know that terrible days are looming towards them.
