Chapter 127 of the main text volume is a best-selling third-line

Next chapter

The next day, Shen Zhe and the others followed the guidance given by Editor He Qi and came to the vicinity of the North Park.

The editorial office of "Children's 365" is located here, and the exterior is an old-style courtyard, but the interior has been modernized.

Grandma Zhen was not there, and I heard that she went to attend a seminar on the theme of "caring for children" held by the Ministry of Culture.

The system is different, but the habit of loving meetings is exactly the same.

Regarding the content and artwork, Shen Zhe handed it over to Lin Yuhan to discuss with the editors, and finally took a brief look at it when he signed the contract.

Because it is a graphic edition, the magazine gives the highest royalty of 15%, and if it is higher, it will be an exception.

Shen Zhe and Lin Yuhan glanced at each other and did not raise any objections.

Children have always been a very special type, and if they don't like them, the author can't even drink soup. But an excellent work like "Shuke and Beta", which is popular all over the country, once published, it is idle to break 10 million copies, and make a lot of money casually.

Adults may not necessarily come to read books in idleness, but no one will object to reading books to children except for stepmothers and stepfathers.

From the mouth of the editor of Heqi, I learned that several TV stations have taken a fancy to the animation adaptation rights of the work, including Ocean TV.

Hearing this name again, Shen Zhe didn't have much thought.

There are many details to be discussed in the adaptation of the work, and we will only discuss them in detail when they meet next time.

……

In just over a month, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" continued to be popular, and there was another unexpected situation in the academic world.

According to the official announcement of Bowen Bookstore, the sales of historical books increased by more than 200% last month!

Especially in the history of the Ming Dynasty, the increase has even increased more than ten times, and some of the books such as "History of the Ming Dynasty" and "The Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty" that were placed at the top of the shelves in the past have been covered with dust and are still bought by readers. In addition, there are countless historical authors in China, which is second only to the youth category, and they have learned from the publishing house that the book is selling well and needs to be reprinted.

And many history writers are not the same family as academics, they are there to make a living.

In addition to the unexpected joy, I began to inquire about the cause of this wave of historical fever from various channels, and after learning the truth, I had an indescribable feeling.

This can be understood from interviews with reporters from several TV stations.

"Sir, do you read history books a lot?" In the Bowen bookstore, the reporter immediately asked a middle-aged man.

"No, I've been interested in the Ming Dynasty lately."

"Why?" The journalist was interested.

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Looking at Shen Da's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", I found that many places are not very clear, buy a copy of "History of the Ming Dynasty" and compare it." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to watch "History of the Ming Dynasty"?"

The middle-aged man disagreed: "Such a boring book, which one can read it, when the information is flipped through, it will be successful!" ”

Two teenagers who looked like middle school students appeared next to them.

"Oh, who can write history so interesting, better than novels, we still have to find Shen Da's mistakes to have a sense of accomplishment......"

For this reason, Ocean TV urgently launched a series of Ming Dynasty TV series shooting plans, but "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is obviously not suitable for adaptation, and it did not contact Shen Zhe through oriental culture again. Because historical dramas often have huge investments, although there are fewer copyright disputes, small TV stations still can't participate, but they can intercept a certain period of time, which can be regarded as a mouthful of soup.

Another question that arises is that Qing history vs Ming history.

As in that time, the mainstream academic community attaches far more importance to Qing history than to Ming history.

First, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China, and second, the study of Qing history was conducive to the ethnic integration of a multi-ethnic country and was supported by the government.

Now, the Ming history fever set off by "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" seems to have begun to challenge the status of Qing history.

Over-publicizing the history of the Ming Dynasty has a negative significance, which is also an important reason why the official academic circles of that time and space are indifferent to the history of the Ming Dynasty.

And Chinese scholars are still arguing about Shen Zhe's interview, and they don't have time to care about these for the time being.

Shen Zhe didn't have a good impression of the Manchu Qing in his bones, and he was happy to see it.

As for the social impact, uncles, don't press such a big hat on your head indiscriminately.

Buckle hat is also a major feature of China.

I don't know if Shen Zhe will also be forcibly buckled by some people in the future.

People who think too much end up miserable, but fortunately it is modern society, if it is ancient, the East will be criticized and the West will be burned to death.

……

A week later, the entire book of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and the first volume of "Shuck and Beta" were released almost simultaneously.

There is a spectacle at the bookstore.

In front of the Oriental Culture counter, there is a long queue every day, and many readers buy a few or a dozen copies at a time, which is to help friends buy on their behalf.

In just three days, "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" sold 1.75 million copies!

However, the book-buying craze quickly subsided, and the people who bought the book were avid book lovers, who came soon after learning the news of the publication, and many book buyers were ready to collect, and the content had already been read when it was serialized.

However, the publication and sales of a martial arts novel can reach 2 million copies, which also surprised industry insiders.

At this time, I realized that martial arts readers could not be ignored.

To put it simply, any genre is popular or not, and creating content that readers will welcome is real.

Well, money is the most important thing.

Sales of "Shuk and Beta" were even more popular, with the day of its release falling on the weekend, and bookstores in major cities became the most crowded places.

Adults, children, and impolite teenagers......

Books and Huaxia coins were passed in people's hands, and the children who got the books were smiling.

From time to time, the crowd rang out with the cries of children.

The once quiet bookstore has become a place that is even more lively than a vegetable market.

On the last day of October, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles officially announced the sales number of this month.

In the first place is Shen Zhe's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu the Great", the next number: 6.8 million copies!

In second place is "Shuk and Beta": 4.5 million copies!

This fairy tale work has only been on the market for a few days today, and it still has a lot of stamina, and it can be expected to break the 10 million mark.

The sixth place is "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch": 1.82 million copies.

Although it did not break 2 million, the significance is extraordinary, this is the first time that martial arts has entered the best-selling list, and it is also the first published martial arts novel.

This was a decision made by Shen Zhe, and the book "Dragon and Tiger" was not published.

It also made people in the publishing industry realize the potential of martial arts, and they looked for authors from the chivalrous world to persuade them to transform, and martial arts was recognized by the people.

……

In the harvest month, Shen Zhe's bank card suddenly added a huge sum of nearly 30 million.

Coupled with the more than 10 million left over from the previous magazine club, with so much money on him, he was a little sad.

When I saw Lin Yuhan again, I smiled bitterly: "What can I do with this money?" ”

"You won't spend money?" Lin Yuhan pursed his lips and smiled.

"You say, I'll spend a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, but ten million, to be honest, I really won't spend!"

"Buying clothes?" Lin Yuhan's construction is very unreliable.

"Ten thousand? Thousands of pieces also need to buy a house first, otherwise where to put it? ”

“…… You're showing off, right? ”

"Alas, it's really not, copyright and money are the same, it's a double-edged sword!" (To be continued.) )
