Chapter 056: Sales are booming
Cheng Hui called Liu Shuo on Monday, and the book number had been approved.
Liu Shuo was surprised, "Why is it so fast?" According to the efficiency of these departments, a week is considered fast, right? ”
"Isn't it your credit for being in the news?" Cheng Hui said with a smile: "The state supports the animation industry, and now you are on BJ News again, and you are also a figure in the government department, so your book number will be approved so quickly." Now I'm going to contact the publishing house, but the price of the book can't be set so low anymore, and the publishing house also wants to make a profit. ”
"Try to be as little as possible, my profit should not exceed 10 yuan per book. Of course, it can't be too low, and I have to do other things with this money. Liu Shuo instructed.
"I see!"
"Also, when printing, write on the cover that those under the age of fifteen are forbidden to read, and minors should read with caution. After all, "League of Legends" is a comic with heavy blood, although the country is not rated, but we must think of it first. ”
"Good!"
"So be it! Printed and shipped to major cities as soon as possible, priority will be given to the supply of Comic Con. During this time, you will work harder, take the company's people to run major comic exhibitions, and I will give you bonuses in September! ”
"Then thank you so much, boss!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Shuo once again devoted himself to creation. He was already thinking about the next comic, which was a Xianxia comic. However, because "League of Legends" is still being serialized, the new comic is relatively slow to conceive, and it has just begun to set the background.
One of the characteristics of comic conventions across the country is that they are held three days on weekends. On Wednesday, "League of Legends" has begun to be sold in BJ, and League of Legends comics are sold in larger book stores!
However, at this time, parents were buying comics for their children, and the ban on reading at the age of fifteen on the cover of "League of Legends" discouraged these parents. But there are also some parents who are curious to pick up a copy and read it, it may be that sentence that makes them have a wonderful association, because there are some films that are also banned!
League of Legends is not meant to be watched by children under the age of fifteen, because these people have an immature worldview and may learn from the bad guys in the comics. Therefore, the fifteen bans will not lose too many readers, but because of this sentence, "League of Legends" has attracted the attention of adults, and after they opened the comics, some of them fell in love with it. These people have their own financial resources, and it's still easy to buy a few comics.
After "League of Legends" was officially published, it was also sold for 35 yuan, Liu Shuo could get a royalty of 8 yuan per copy, and Manfeng could probably get about 2 yuan of operating income. The reason why it's not 8 cents is that the operating costs of the website are still to be taken into account.
When Friday came, all kinds of League of Legends booths suddenly popped up at Comic Con everywhere, but the only thing in common was that there were high-quality cosers at the booths, as few as two or three, and as many as more than ten. In particular, female cosers have attracted much attention since they entered the comic convention.
At this time, the vast majority of comic conventions were dominated by foreign anime, and the same was true for coser's dress, and most of the cos's characters were RB anime characters. The appearance of "League of Legends" can be regarded as a clear stream, at least this comic is the work of the Chinese.
Liu Shuo can proudly say that he used characters from "League of Legends" to tell his own story. Even if the characters of "League of Legends" are replaced, the story is still its own, and "League of Legends" is a domestic anime.
Half of the plagiarists think so, and the others who don't know are even more proud. The animation plot of the Chinese people is still very strong, otherwise the domestic animation market is so bad, but there are still people who rush in without hesitation.
Now, a Chinese comic has appeared, and comic fans immediately donated money to support it. Coupled with the excellent quality of "League of Legends", it is often coaxed at comic conventions.
The popularity of the comic con also alarmed the local media. As soon as the local media reported it, it immediately attracted the attention of the locals. Then the sales in bookstores skyrocketed, and all bookstores were out of stock to a certain extent.
Until the end of August, more than 10 first- and second-tier cities across the country had sold nearly one million copies of "League of Legends".
All right! In this era of rampant piracy, it is already a blessing to be able to sell millions of copies. At least "League of Legends" has hundreds of thousands of fans, and these fans are real. And these fans can also drive others to like League of Legends together, laying the foundation for the subsequent sales of League of Legends.
Liu Shuo earned a total of more than 7 million, and after deducting personal income tax, there are still more than 5 million. The more than 5 million fell into Liu Shuo's pocket, but it will take until the end of September to settle all the payments.
was able to make so much money, Liu Shuo didn't expect it, he originally thought that it would be very good to be able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars and build a house for his family. But I didn't expect to make so much money all at once, not to mention a house, even building a building is no problem.
Mid-July.
"Dad?" Liu Shuo called home, "The house at home is no longer good, let's build a new one!" I'll send you 100,000 yuan tomorrow, that should be enough, right? Yes! If that's not enough, you call me and I'll send it back to you. ”
"Didn't I sell my comics! Earned a lot, huh! I know! ”
"Okay, that's it, I'll hang up first!"
Liu Shuo remitted 100,000 yuan to Kashan at home, he still has more than 1 million in his hand, with this million, Liu Shuo doesn't know what to do, think about how much money there is in the follow-up, and at the beginning of August, the fourth book of "League of Legends" can also be published, and at the beginning of October, the fifth book can also be published, there should be a lot of these follow-ups, even if there is no support from the Comic Con, relying on the support of these fans alone is a lot of money.
Moreover, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are also planning to publish, and the publishing houses there have already been contacted, and by the way, it can also be published in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. However, these are still being negotiated, Liu Shuo asked Cheng Hui to fight for the greatest interests for himself and earn foreigners' money, Liu Shuo will not be soft.
With so much money, Liu Shuo began to look for investment projects, and finally he set his sights on a toy factory. Toys are the bulk of anime peripherals, and Liu Shuo doesn't want to give up the profits from the peripherals. Now that he has money, let's buy a toy factory and make his own peripherals!
Thinking of this, he immediately called Yang Chen: "Help me find a professional manager who understands toys." ”
Yang Chen didn't understand for a while, "Toys? ”
"That's right! I'm going to buy a toy factory, and you can find me someone to manage it. ”
