Chapter 9 First Manuscript Fee

(Kneel and beg for recommendations.) Collection,I read my book greatly.,You can give me an opinion on the number.,Comment.,Don't let my little brother play stand-alone.,Thank you!)

According to the previous numbers, the sales estimate of "Legend of Martial Arts" on the first day is usually about 30,000, but this time it jumped to 50,000, an increase of nearly 80% percentage points, and this is only the number of feedback from some large bookstores and online shopping malls, plus other small bookstores and newsstands, the real number is definitely more than that.

Lin Wensheng has been engaged in martial arts creation and the publication of martial arts novels for many years, and before publishing "Dragon and Tiger", he made a rough market assessment and finally determined that the first printing of "Dragon and Tiger" was 40,000 copies.

As a result, "Dragon and Tiger" sold nearly 20,000 copies on the first day, and according to this trend, the first printing of 40,000 copies is simply not enough, and it can be said that the results are gratifying.

You must know that now is the era of information explosion, the publishing industry is mixed, all kinds of pirated books of different quality flood the entire market, coupled with the current impact of online literature, the physical publishing market is becoming less and less optimistic.

Therefore, in the current domestic publishing situation, most of the published physical books can generally sell thousands of copies, and if they can sell 20,000 or 30,000 copies, they can be called bestsellers. It is possible that people who don't understand the market will question, Huaxia has such a large population base, and a book that sells 20,000 or 30,000 copies can also be called a bestseller?

According to the statistics of the authoritative number, the per capita number of paper books in China is only two to three, and with the popularity of e-books, it is rare to buy physical books. And now there is a big explosion of culture, hundreds of books are published every month, the market competition is fierce, and it is good to sell 20,000 or 30,000 copies of a book.

Lin Wensheng's exclamation, the entire editorial department of the magazine exploded instantly, and they were all very excited about this achievement.

"At seven o'clock tonight, Wangfujing Hotel, I'm in for a treat!" Lin Wensheng's face flushed, and he waved his big hand, arrogant Lingyun said

And when City B was cheering, Ye Chen also received the news of the big sale of "Dragon Tiger" from Editor-in-Chief Wang in City S.

This time, the tone of the editor-in-chief Wang was obviously much more polite than the last two times, and sure enough, Yiqiē still relied on his strength to speak.

"Selling nearly 20,000 copies on the first day, it should be considered good, right?" Ye Chen thought to himself, he didn't know the current physical publishing market, and he didn't know if selling 30,000 copies on the first day of the new book was considered a lot, but he was happy in his heart, because the more he sold, the more money he had!

Today, Friday, Ye Chen's mobile phone has an additional message from the Bank of China, and the first manuscript fee in his life, a full 10,000 yuan, has been received. This is the manuscript fee he got for the first four episodes of "Sea of Clouds" serialized on "Legend of Martial Arts" according to the contract, 25,400,000 words per 1,000 words.

As for the share of "Dragon Tiger", according to the contract, from the time the book is put on the shelves, six percent of the publication yard (sales * pricing) will be credited to his bank account every other month.

10,000 yuan, maybe not much for others, but for Ye Chen, who had never received so much money, a different feeling rose in his heart, excitement, and an inexplicable sourness.

After living for so many years and being accustomed to seeing the glamour of the world around him, Ye Chen always felt that he was just a bystander, and he had never stepped into the glamorous and colorful world around him.

In my memory, in high school, I was a "lower riba man" who couldn't afford to read in a poor ravine, and entered the high school in the city with the help of nobles, but the glamour of the city did not belong to him, and no one in the class wanted to be friends with him a "mountain baby", only a girl like Lin Daiyu and a boy who didn't talk much, willing to accompany her crazy and smirk......

When he arrived at the university, when the men and women in the university were busy looking for a partner, falling in love, and playing games, he worked hard outside to make money, and he had to fight with the top students to fight for scholarships. When others applied for poverty grants, he didn't, just for a pitiful self-esteem.

In the words of the stone, it is really a death to save face and suffer a sin!

Yes, this is what life has taught him, but it is not the same as others.

Thinking about it, a beautiful image appeared in Ye Chen's mind, and he couldn't help but smile warmly, and dialed a number with his mobile phone.

"Hey, Xiao Chenzi!" A woman's clear voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Sister, I'll go to your house in the afternoon, I'll cook in the evening, remember to come back for dinner,!" Ye Chen was also a little helpless about what the woman called him on the phone, he protested, but it was useless to the lord.

"Hmph, you still remember my sister, I haven't cooked for my sister for almost half a month, and I eat takeout every day, and I want to vomit. The woman on the phone complained coquettishly.

"Hehe, sister, I was wrong, I'll get you a big meal to make amends!" Ye Chen laughed.

"That's pretty much it, okay, I'm busy hanging up first. The woman laughed, then hung up.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Chen set off from the school and took a bus for almost an hour to the vicinity of Sunshine Community.

Ye Chen seemed to be very familiar with the situation near the community, and came to a large Carrefour supermarket after a few turns.

happened to send the manuscript fee, Ye Chen suddenly had a nouveau riche feeling, so he went to the seafood area and picked up a few hairy crabs of several hundred yuan a catty, and selected a few imported fruits and vegetables that he usually didn't have a chance to taste, bought some eggs and milk, and then ruthlessly added a bottle of dry red from the Changyu 19 Collection worth 1,200 yuan, and then gave up.

Later, he went to the cashier to check out, spent 1786.7 yuan, took out the bank card from his wallet, and swiped it on the POS machine.

After brushing, he had a painful thought, because he had never made such a generous move.

For the two thoughts that popped up in his mind for a moment, Ye Chen shook his head and secretly scolded himself for being a dirt bun for a long time.

Carrying things out of the Carrefour supermarket, Ye Chen turned into the Sunshine Community and entered Building 3.

Soon, the elevator stopped on the sixth floor, and when the door opened, Ye Chen walked out with something.

In front of the door of room 604, Ye Chen took out the key and opened the door, a fragrance of jasmine came to his nose, it smelled very comfortable, there was a woman's smell, and he was already familiar with this smell.

The room is a two-bedroom commercial house, the interior decoration is simple and exquisite, it looks very comfortable, and it can be seen that the owner's life taste is good.

After entering the kitchen and packing up the things he bought, Ye Chen looked at his watch, it was already half past four. And because Sister Liu works in a film company, she usually doesn't get off work until half past six, so it's not time to cook yet.

Sister Liu, formerly known as Liu Ruotong, is Ye Chen's nobleman and Ye Chen's relative.
