The sales of "Sunset" far exceeded Bilibili's expectations.

The magazine's sales reached 22 million on the third day of its launch, 24 million on the fifth day and 5 million orders, and the popularity has not stopped. Even the day before the second issue was released, the magazine still owed nearly 7 million orders, and the company's newly established editorial department was busy every day, and the printing plant was fully open, and even paid a high price to hire other printing houses to work on the contract, but it could not keep up with the speed of sales of the works.

The magazine got off to a good start, and everyone in the editorial department had no time to celebrate, and the editors could be seen sitting together talking about the plot at any time. The assistants who were worried about the sales of the magazine were also convinced, and they were very respectful of Mr. Qingbai.

By now, everyone understands that the popularity of "Yubai" is not only due to "EVA", but also to the other twenty-four comics. The power of twenty-five comics twisted into a rope to create this miracle, and even Yu Qingsheng, the editor-in-chief of Phoenix Publishing House, called to congratulate him.

On Saturday night, Tang Yuan, the company's newly recruited editor, drove to Wang Ming's bedroom, and then came to the door with a large bag of things.

"What are these?"

Wang Ming, who was busy rushing the manuscript, only glanced back, then turned his head, "If it's important, put it on my bed, and if it's not too important, stuff it under the bed." ”

"Most of them are letters from readers."

Tang Yuan put the bag on the ground and said, "We have been busy revising the manuscript or classifying these readers' letters this week, and we are so busy. ”

"Isn't it good to be busy?"

Wang Ming saved the finished manuscript, stood up and moved his sore arm, and said in his mouth: ""Xibai" is a big hit, and your wages are also rising, and you still want to work after taking so much salary? ”

"People are just kidding!"

Tang Yuan stuck out his tongue and laughed: "There is no humor at all. ”

Wang Ming rolled his eyes, and while doing chest expansion exercises, he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Also, the editor-in-chief asked me if we needed to work with more printers."

"No, you don't!" Wang Ming directly vetoed: "First, the inaugural issue we issue now has lost 300 million, and it will take at least half a year to earn it back." Second, the sales of this issue are very watery, some people will pay for those rare posters to buy "Xibai", and even many people have bought more than ten copies, so the data of this issue does not represent the sales of the magazine, which is why I set the sales of next week at 21 million, after all, our magazine is too expensive. ”

Sending Tang Yuan away, Zhou Haomiao, who was holding a wedding dress and pretending to be dead, suddenly appeared: "You lost 300 million, aren't you distressed at all?" ”

"How much liquidity do we have on our books?"

Zhou Haomiao, who has been interning at the Bilibili branch recently, knows the data well. As soon as Wang Ming's question fell, a string of numbers flashed in his mind, and he replied quickly: "There are still 230 million left, deducting the part of the monthly employee salary, and the remaining 196 million, if you count the income from periphery, copyright, etc., the company will have about 210 million working capital by the end of the month." ”

"That's not bad!"

Wang Ming nodded, not worried at all, and said: "I am not a businessman, I think about the feelings of the audience, readers and myself when they appreciate the work, and you and the team behind you are the support group that supports my willful and reckless behavior." Wouldn't it be nice that I'm in charge of producing the work, and you're in charge of maximizing the benefits within the limits that I've specified? ”

Zhou Haomiao's face showed a wry smile and complained: "Teacher Xiaobaibai, if it weren't for the good evaluation of your works, I think this model would have collapsed a long time ago." ”

Wang Ming also knows this in his heart. His current decision-making power and freedom are based on the fact that he can bring benefits to more people, and his works are the most popular and best-selling works in the Dragon Kingdom.

This is an extremely fragile relationship.

Once the myth is shattered and the work is upset, then the market and resources occupied by Bilibili Media will be divided up by those capitalists who are eyeing it. He is like walking a tightrope now, everyone is worried about him, he is the only one who doesn't care, and he is walking more and more leisurely, it is simply that the emperor is not in a hurry to die as a eunuch.

Wang Ming doesn't know if his works will collapse, he can only take out the good works he likes, use various methods to fill in the loopholes and rigidity in the works and soften them, do everything he can do, and leave the rest to the audience to choose.

"Haha, rest assured, it will get better and better!"

Wang Ming didn't dare to say that he was crossing the party, so he could only comfort: "I have two hundred ideas in my book, as long as I take out half of it, it will be enough for the company to eat for a lifetime, so don't worry." ”

"I said Xiao Qingqing......"

"Don't give me nicknames anymore, I'm almost 100,000 nicknames."

Seeing Zhou Haomiao's indifferent look, Wang Ming was also helpless, this kid is good anywhere, and it is really annoying to love to give people nicknames.

"Allah Allah!"

Zhou Haomiao waved his hand and asked with a smile: "What happened to "Sword Art Online" and "Slam Dunk"?" ”

"Sword Art Online won't be released until January next year."

Wang Ming moved his fingers lightly, and then said: ""Slam Dunk" has now been produced, and we are contacting the General Administration of Sports to help find someone to submit for review, and CCTV is also adjusting the schedule for the animation, and it is estimated that it will be broadcast as soon as the next half of the year." ”

"Looks like we're going to have to add this part of the budget!"

Although Zhou Haomiao's voice was very small, Wang Ming still heard it clearly and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Seeing that he just shook his head, Wang Ming continued to ask: "By the way, I suddenly remembered one thing, what is the price of a single episode given by CCTV?" ”

"A single episode is 2.95 million, plus a subsidy of 50,000 per episode from the General Administration of Sports, for a total of 3 million per episode."

Zhou Haomiao said like a few treasures: "CCTV plans to pay this money in three installments, so we will get 200 million funds after delivering the film to the other party." ”

"That is, at the end of the month, there will be 400 million funds on the company's books......"

As he spoke, Wang Ming's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Propose 200 million to set up a game department." ”

Zhou Haomiao did not object at the first time, but raised doubts: "It is possible to establish a game department!" But what about their duties? What about game planning? ”

Wang Ming chuckled twice: "It's okay, I'll give this money to the game department as an initial investment, and then provide 20 million research expenses every month until I develop a game engine that can be applied to VR equipment, I will be of great use." ”

"Are you serious?"

Zhou Haomiao glanced at Wang Ming deeply, and said word by word: "The game world is very xenophobic. ”

"I know it, trust me!"
