Next chapter

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ning Mo had to pack his bags and prepare to return to school to start a new semester. ～，

Song Zhixuan and the others had to start school one day earlier than Ning Mo, and on the day Ning Mo returned to school, she could only get up early in the morning and say goodbye to Ning Mo before going to school.

Song Zhixuan is already in the second semester of her third year of high school and is about to take the college entrance examination, Ning Mo also encouraged her, let her study hard, and review and prepare for the exam attentively.

After the brother and sister reluctantly said goodbye, Song Zhixuan went to school first. Ning Mo, on the other hand, waited until more than ten o'clock in the morning to go out with his luggage, went to the station to catch a car, and went to Xihang City, the provincial capital.

This holiday, except for going to Shangcheng halfway to record the song 'Pingju' with Song Ningwei, the rest of the time Ning Mo either accompanied her little sister out for a walk, or coded words at home.

During the Chinese New Year, Ning Mo had already written all the contents of "Star Change", totaling more than 2.8 million words!

After writing "The Changing Stars", Ning Mo was not in a hurry to write other novels, but took a good rest for a few days to accompany his family, after all, it was almost time for school to start.

During the Chinese New Year, although everyone is basically visiting relatives, partying, and having fun, the attention to other aspects has decreased a lot.

For example, the sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" have been greatly affected, and the sales fell sharply in two weeks during the Chinese New Year, but after another two weeks of sales accumulation, the first and second episodes of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" have successively exceeded the five million sales mark!

During the week from February 3rd to February 9th, the two episodes of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" sold 532478 and 505981 copies respectively.

Compared with the sales of more than 800,000 in the previous week, the decline is obviously a bit ruthless, but this can't be helped, just in time for Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, and the peak of relatives in the following days, the sluggish sales of books are expected.

It is already very good to be able to achieve more than 500,000 sales of a single episode.

And this sales also allowed "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" to continue to maintain the top two positions on the best-selling list.

As for the week from February 10th to February 16th, the sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" have rebounded significantly, reaching 719354 and 681243 copies respectively.

Sales have rebounded significantly, and this result has also made "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" the first and second place on the best-selling list for the sixth consecutive week.

In the two weeks during the Chinese New Year, the two episodes of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" sold 1251832 and 1187224 copies respectively, which also made the cumulative total sales of the two episodes reach 11 million copies!

Based on this number, although the royalty share ratio of Ning Mo's two volumes signed to Huayi Publishing House is only 8%, according to the rough calculation of the price of 22 yuan per volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", this is also equivalent to nearly 20 million royalty shares!

Of course, in fact, it is impossible to calculate royalties according to the pricing of books, because when publishing houses distribute books to various channels and bookstores, there will inevitably be certain discounts, which is the profit margin of channels and bookstores.

In addition, some bookstores will also sell books at a certain discount, so in the actual calculation, it is still based on the wholesale price of the publisher when it is distributed to channels and bookstores.

As far as Ning Mo knows, the wholesale price given by Huayi Publishing House to various channel merchants and large chain bookstores is 65% off the list price, which means that when Ning Mo's royalty is actually calculated, it is calculated according to the book price of 14.3 yuan.

Therefore, with the sales of 11 million copies of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Ning Mo's royalty share can probably be more than 12 million yuan, and if the manuscript fee tax is deducted, there will probably be more than 11 million yuan left in his hand.

This is no longer a small number, not to mention, "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" continues to sell well, and it is nothing to sell millions of copies in the next time, and there are the next six volumes of "Ghost Blows the Lamp".

It can be said that if the last six volumes of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" can also be so popular, then the publication royalty share of the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" alone can bring Ning Mo a manuscript fee of about 100 million yuan!

This is almost inconceivable in the time and space of the previous life.

After all, piracy was rampant in China in the previous life, and the total sales of books exceeding one million were already a very staggering number.

The publication fee alone exceeded 100 million yuan, and such an income was almost impossible in the eyes of those Chinese writers in the previous life.

Of course, if it is compared with those best-selling authors in the United States of America in the previous life, the manuscript fee of 100 million yuan is not such a shocking figure.

After all, in the United States in the previous life, the annual income of some best-selling authors exceeded 100 million US dollars, let alone 100 million Chinese dollars.

After taking the train for more than two hours, Ning Mo finally arrived in Xihang City.

As soon as he got out of the station, Ning Mo directly stopped a taxi and returned to Jishi University. He actually brought a lot of luggage, except for a few pieces of clothing, more of which were all kinds of food stuffed by Wang Liping into his suitcase.

When Ning Mo came to the dormitory, none of Fang Mingliang and the others came.

So Ning Mo had to clean the somewhat dusty dormitory by himself. After a busy day, I was a little sweaty.

"Hey, Lao Mo, have they arrived so early?

After Ning Mo finished cleaning the dormitory for more than half an hour, Xu Changning finally arrived. Seeing that Ning Mo was the only one sitting alone in front of the computer watching a movie in the dormitory, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Ning Mo looked up at Xu Changning and replied casually, "They haven't come yet." I've just been here for a few hours. ”

Xu Changning nodded, looked at the cleaned dormitory, and the ground that had obviously just been dragged and was a little wet, and couldn't help but say to Ning Mo: "Old Mo, I let you clean the dormitory alone again." ”

Ning Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, it's cold, and I happen to be a little active." ”

Hearing this, Xu Changning couldn't help but smile. Ning Mo has a very good popularity in the dormitory and even in the class, which is mainly related to his casual and open-minded personality.

He usually does more things, such as cleaning or something, and he never cares. This makes it easy for people to have a good feeling, at least it is difficult to have any bad feelings for Ning Mo.

"By the way, Lao Mo, when Lao Fang and Lao Zhang come, why don't we go out and get together at night?"

Xu Changning put down his luggage and suddenly spoke.

"Yes. Then wait for Lao Fang and Lao Zhang to come. Ning Mo replied.

"Hmm. Xu Changning nodded, and said, "By the way, do you want to call Chu classmates by the way?" ”

While speaking, Xu Changning squeezed his eyes at Ning Mo, looking ambiguous.

Although Ning Mo and Chu Yushan can only be said to have a good relationship now, with a little ambiguity, but to be honest, they really don't have any out-of-line behavior.

The temperament of the two of them actually belongs to the kind of people who go with the flow, swallow gently, and let it gradually come to fruition, not to be too active.

Otherwise, if it was Ning Mo who took the initiative, I was afraid that he would have launched a fierce offensive against classmate Chu a long time ago and took it down.

Ning Mo didn't care about Xu Changning's ridicule, smiled faintly, and said, "I'll call and ask later." By the way, I'll also help you ask if the squad leader is here. ”

Ning Mo looked at Xu Changning, and the corners of his mouth also showed a playful smile.

Xu Changning laughed twice, a little embarrassed, and then took the initiative to divert the conversation...... (To be continued.) )
