Chapter 132 Ghost Blowing Lantern Listing (Three More Requests!)
Chapter 132 of the text volume The ghost blows the lamp and goes on the market (three more begging!)
Next chapter
On December 23rd, Ning Mo received five sets of physical books of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" from Huayi Publishing House, with a total of ten copies of the first, second and second volumes.
There are only two days left before the launch of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the printed physical books have been shipped to bookstores all over the country, waiting for the official bookshelves to be put on sale on the 25th.
The first two copies of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" were both 200,000 copies in the first two copies.
This figure is relatively conservative, after all, Ning Mo is just a rookie author in the publishing industry, and he has no reputation at all. Although Huayi Publishing House is more optimistic about the novel theme of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it does not dare to take too risks, and it will print too much in the first printing.
Of course, if this number is left in the time and space of the previous life, it is undoubtedly a very high number of first printings.
However, in this time and space, 200,000 copies are really nothing.
The vast land of more than 18 million square kilometers, coupled with the national base of more than 1.8 billion and the purchasing power far stronger than that of the previous life, and most importantly, the pirated books that have been suppressed to the point that they can only be seen in some small streets and alleys or on the stalls...... In such an environment, 200,000 copies is really a relatively conservative number of first printings.
Ning Mo himself actually has no opinion on this first print run, he also knows that even if "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can be a big hit, it will definitely take a certain amount of time to form a word-of-mouth accumulation at the beginning, and he is not a physical writer, he does not have any readership at all, and if he wants readers to buy it, he still has to rely on publicity and the quality of the book itself.
"Hey, old Mo, what is this?"
Xu Changning suddenly saw the stack of books that Ning Mo had just taken back to the dormitory and put it aside casually, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
The stack of books Ning Mo just opened the carton outside, looked at it casually, and didn't take out the books.
Hearing Xu Changning's inquiry, Ning Mo replied casually, "Oh, that's the physical book of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" sent by the publishing house just now. ”
Hearing this, Xu Changning was suddenly surprised, and said, "Old Mo, are you saying that the book "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" you wrote has been published?"
Even Zhang Kai and Fang Mingliang, who were playing games, couldn't help but look up when they heard this, and exclaimed in surprise: "Old Mo, it's really fake, is your novel really published?"
Ning Mo glanced at them, smiled, nodded and replied, "Yes, it will be officially launched the day after tomorrow, so the publishing house sent me a few sets of sample books." ”
"I'll go! Lao Mo, you're really awesome now!"
"That's right, it's writing songs again, and now it's publishing physical books, it's amazing, Lao Mo!"
Zhang Kai and Fang Mingliang couldn't sit still at all, so they quickly stopped the game, then jumped over, looked at the stack of books resting on the side with a look of amazement, and then looked at Ning Mo.
"Come, Lao Mo, take out the book and show us what it's like!" Xu Changning said a little impatiently.
Ning Mo smiled slightly, and responded, "Okay." ”
Then he opened the carton and took a few books out and handed them a few.
Fang Mingliang and the three of them each took a book in their hands, there was a first volume and a second volume, looked at the cover carefully, and turned a few pages at random.
Then, Xu Changning spoke: "Lao Mo, the cover design of your book is really good, it looks very feeling, just looking at this cover, I have the urge to buy a copy." ”
"Yes, the design of this cover is very good, and it fits the content quite well. In particular, the design of the words "people light candles, ghosts blow out lamps" is a highlight!"
Fang Mingliang echoed.
"By the way, Lao Mo, how much can you get paid for the publication of this book?" Zhang Kai asked curiously.
Ning Mo said: "I signed a royalty sharing contract with the publishing house, and it depends on how many copies of the book can be sold. Anyway, if I sell more, I get more, and if I sell less, my remuneration will be less. ”
Zhang Kai nodded, looked at the book in his hand again, and said, "Lao Mo, I think your book will definitely sell well." It is estimated that there is no problem in selling a single volume to one million. ”
"I also think that Lao Mo, your writing is really good, and it shouldn't be difficult to exceed one million in a single volume. Fang Mingliang also chimed in.
Ning Mo smiled and said, "Hopefully!"
Although he said so, in fact, Ning Mo's expectations for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" were not just a million per volume.
If "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can reach the kind of popularity of the time and space in the previous life, it will not be a problem for a single volume to sell well in this time and space.
Of course, it is still unknown whether "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can reach the kind of popularity of the previous life and space, and it can only wait for two days to start being tested by the market!
Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, and "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has finally officially landed in bookstores of all sizes in various cities in China.
Huayi Publishing House has invested a lot in the publicity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", whether it is An Qingxue, who signed the book, or Zhang Lei, who is the editor-in-chief of Huayi Publishing House, they all have certain expectations for this book.
As editors who have been engaged in the publishing industry for many years, they all know that once a work with a new theme like "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can be recognized by the market, then there is a great possibility that it will become popular and even open up a new theme market.
Therefore, on the occasion of the launch of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Zhang Lei also used Huayi's resources to place the billboards of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in major bookstores.
The bookstore also asked the bookstore to place "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" on the most conspicuous bookshelf.
After all, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has the possibility of a big hit, and Huayi Publishing House will naturally mobilize some resources to publicize it and try the response of the market.
As a backing media giant 'Huayi Media', Huayi Publishing House has a lot of publicity resources at its disposal. Now the key is to see how the reaction of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has been in the period after it was released.
If the response is mediocre, then Huayi Publishing House will not waste too many resources on this. But if the response to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is very good and shows the potential to explode, then Huayi Publishing House will definitely continue to follow up and increase publicity.
Huayi Publishing House.
As soon as he went to work early in the morning, Zhang Lei called An Qingxue to the office.
"Qingxue, today "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is officially on the market, you focus on tracking the sales of this book during this time, and by the way, let people investigate the readers' evaluations, and remember to report to me at any time if there is any situation. ”
Zhang Lei said.
An Qingxue hurriedly responded: "Okay, Brother Lei, I will." ”
This book is the first book signed by An Qingxue after she jumped to Huayi Publishing House, and she also took the initiative to pull it over, coupled with the relationship between Ning Mo and Tang Wanru's student, she naturally cares more about the sales of this book after it is released than Zhang Lei.
I hope that this book will sell well more than anyone else, so that she can have a very dazzling performance qualification in Huayi Publishing House.
