Chapter 207: Sell Out of Stock

(Now the number of recommended votes per day is too small, if you have stock, you will vote for the author)

The supplement is not as good as the normal monthly magazine, and most of the time the sales are not very good, so special attention should be paid when printing, and generally it will not be reprinted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zhao Yuanqun's investigation, he decided to take a gamble, believing that the popularity on the Internet was not fake, so the number of printed copies was set at 500,000 copies, which is an extremely remarkable number.

After the quantity and content were all finalized, the supplement of Science Illustrated entered the printing house, and in the rumbling operation of the machine, square words appeared, bound into a book, and then stacked up.

With the determination of the launch time, those readers on the Internet are almost eager to see through it, and they want to book this issue of the magazine on the official website, but the reservation of the magazine is basically half a year or a year, and there is never a single supplement.

So I had to get up early in the morning and try to get my hands on it on the day of the sale.

No matter how well the magazine sold, Lin Han didn't have the slightest impact, he was busy with the script of "Jurassic Park" on his own, and the casting of "The Martian" was at an impasse.

The actor that the director likes is not Xu Yingdi, who auditioned first, but another powerful actor Cheng En, who is quite popular, is also the so-called box office lucky star, but the salary asked by the other party is too high, 25 million yuan salary + 5% global box office dividend.

The reason for the frequent bad movies in Chinese movies is that in terms of production costs, the salaries of stars are too high, sometimes even more than the shooting costs and the amount needed for post-production.

The movie is not good, the stars come to make up, and the money is spent on inviting stars, so the special effects are five cents, the costumes are chaotic, and the background is narrow.

Chang'e Pictures is willing to pay the salary but refuses to give box office dividends, the box office dividends are not much, Lin Han, the original author and screenwriter, the director, and now even the actors, are all divided, so the proportion of this production success is very small, and it is not cost-effective at all.

Lin Han affirmed Cheng En's acting skills and appearance, which was also one of the candidates he listed at the beginning, but the salary problem must be solved, and the other party even said that it was a friendship price.

A movie of more than 20 million yuan and dividends is actually a friendship price, Lin Han thinks about how hard he has written so many books, and his net worth has not yet broken 10 million, he wants to cry in the wind, and the stars make too much money.

Writing scripts, watching movies, and going out on dates at home with peace of mind, Lin Han's small life was very comfortable.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to the beginning of August, and the supplement of "Science Illustrated" has been completed, and it will be listed nationwide immediately.

……

On August 2nd, a very ordinary Wednesday, there was calm at home and abroad, nothing major happened, and "Morning News of the World" could not find too much material to play.

The people of the whole country went to work and school as always, and they were not alarmed, except for a handful of fans who were extremely excited.

Fu Tingchuan started from the garage of his own community, as a middle-level leader of a large company, he is only 35 years old when he is in the prime of life, and is expected to continue to improve.

But when he was nervous about work time, he still drove the car to the newsstand on the edge of the community, rolled down the window and said to the boss: "Boss, bring me a copy of the "Science Illustrated" that was just distributed today, and I want "The Wandering Earth". ”

"Right now, do you have any change?" the boss looked at the bookstall and took out the Science Illustrated magazine he had just gotten from the dealer today.

"Well, no, you can get me a bottle of water to make up ten dollars. Fu Tingchuan opened his mouth and said, his usual hobby is to read science fiction novels, but too few can enter his eyes, until Lin Han, a writer, appeared.

The newsstand owner walked to the front of the BMW with books and drinks, took ten yuan before handing over the things to Fu Tingchuan, and then turned around slowly and returned to his position.

He chattered and said: "Today, Science Illustrated is selling better, I would have bought two more copies if I knew it." ”

Fu Tingchuan put the magazine in his handbag before driving on the road, he didn't want others to see him holding the magazine, and it was inconvenient to share his personal hobbies with others.

The quality of science fiction readers is probably the highest, and most of them are young people, which is very different from the middle-aged and elderly readers in Europe and the United States.

In the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Zhao Xu, who usually refuses to get up every day, rarely got up before eight o'clock, and his roommate who was reciting TOEFL words in the dormitory was very surprised, "On the ninth day, what did you go crazy about today, and you got up so early?"

"I went out to get the books, and I was afraid that someone else would take them away if I went late, but I paid the deposit. Zhao Xu quickly put on a T-shirt and shorts, and then rushed to the balcony to wash his face and brush his teeth.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The roommate was speechless for a while, so he had to continue to bury his head in the sea of words, everyone has their own ambitions, and no one can make decisions for anyone.

Zhao Xu rode his bicycle out of the dormitory building, and a whirlwind blew on the school road, and his feet seemed to be stepping on Hot Wheels to the largest newsstand in the university town.

"Uncle Han, do you still have my Science Illustrated?"

Before the person arrived, the voice came, which was really anxious.

Han Yu, the owner of the newsstand, was wearing a white vest, beach pants, flip-flops, and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and he said angrily: "Here, I have left 5 books for you, why are you taking so many books alone?"

"Hehe, I've got my use, thanks!" Zhao Xu put the five books on the back seat of the bicycle and clipped them, and then left at a gallop.

Only Han Yu was left standing at the door, he took a cigarette and swallowed the clouds, and continued to fiddle with these magazines and books, not paying attention to this little episode.

However, three hours passed, and from time to time someone came to buy a copy of "Science Illustrated", and it was indicated that they wanted to buy "The Wandering Earth", and Han Yu's more than ten books here were all sold out, and he reacted.

The 500,000 copies of the magazine supplement did not make a splash in the domestic market, and when it was not over today, there were general distributors in many regions who opened the phone to ask for goods.

Sold out, there are almost no newsstands to ask, and most of the newsstands have even bought only one to decorate the faΓ§ade, who knew that it would sell so well.

Some newsstands in remote locations have also been approached by interested readers, but the answers they get are no!

In reality, you can't buy books, so you have to look for them online, and there are two choices in front of these readers.

One is to choose 5 yuan to download the electronic version of the supplement of Science Illustrated, including all the graphic designs and novel content of the physical version.

The other is to choose 1 cent to download the electronic version of "The Wandering Earth" separately, which only contains this article and does not contain anything else.

Readers were quick to make their own decisions, and the most bizarre phenomenon of the book market of the year appeared!

The physical edition of Science Illustrated has been more popular than ever, with 500,000 copies sold out, and even another 100,000 copies look like they will be digested. However, its electronic version has been unpopular, with less than 50,000 people paying to download it, which is almost unheard of.

Now the gap between the electronic version and the physical version has narrowed to a certain point, but the gap between 50,000 and 500,000 is obviously not a star and a half, and people are keen to buy the physical version.

Could it be that the cold winter of the electronic version has arrived? When people in the industry focused on the sales of the electronic version of "The Wandering Earth", they found another strange flower.

"The Wandering Earth", which costs only 1 cent, actually sold 290,000 people in one day! On the one hand, this is because the novel is too well-known and has always been hungry, and on the other hand, because the price is very low, who can't get a penny?

You can pick up a red envelope in the group and read it, and the price is cheap and there are many buyers.

Placed together, these two very different phenomena make the conclusion clear.

Most of those who are willing to buy the physical supplement of Science Illustrated are for Lin Han's "The Wandering Earth", so when the electronic version is separated, they will definitely not be willing to spend money to buy other people's novels.

Five yuan is not much, but there is no need to waste it, anyway, they are just to watch Lin Han, and the rest of the writers can watch it or not.

This time, the charm of Lin Han's novel is clearly displayed in front of everyone!

Reading the novel is not enjoyable, many people are seeking to buy physical books under Lin Han's micro-blog, physical books are convenient to preserve, and there are physical collections and commemorations.

The original price of the magazine was only 5 yuan, and under this comment, there were people who were willing to buy it for 50 yuan and supported SF Express to pay, but almost no one sold it.

In the forum of the Hanlin Academy, there are also some people who have not grabbed it, and the appeal for the purchase and printing of the magazine has not stopped.

Zhao Xu was satisfied and gave Lin Han a thumbs up on Weibo, and then picked up his four extra books and took pictures carefully and passed them to "Xianyu".

Xianyu is a second-hand trading area on the Tengu shopping website, where people can exchange goods and resell unused items without going through complicated store opening procedures.

"Ten percent of the new "Science Fantasy" August supplement, absolutely genuine! The cover, inside pages and the illustration photos of "The Wandering Earth" are as follows, the price is 200 yuan, no free shipping!"

Sins and sins, Zhao Xu muttered in his heart, I just made some living expenses for myself, and I didn't deliberately resell at a high price.

The price of 200 yuan discourages many people, why should a novel that can be read for a penny be the main culprit.

But this is not for seeing, but for collecting!

The local tyrant is in the people, Zhao Xu just advertised in the forum of the Hanlin Academy, but the 4 magazines were taken away, and the hands were fast and slow, and he earned 800 yuan with almost no effort! )
