A hot pot restaurant, inside a private room.

In the center of the table, there is a large mandarin duck pot, and the thick soup in the pot is tumbling in the "goo-goo-goo", steaming hot, and the aroma of a kind of food spreads out in the boiling soup.

Sitting upright at the table, Wu Qi held chopsticks and kept adding vegetables to the hot pot, his eyes staring at the undulating slices of meat in the pot, squirming under his tongue and squirming in his throat.

Wu Qi is a foodie, he has a persistent hobby of food, and the belief of a foodie is that in this life, only food cannot be disappointed.

The fresh soup and spicy oil are tumbling, he has been throwing meat into it, there are fewer vegetables, he likes to eat meat, he is a carnivore, no meat is not happy.

From the moment the hot pot was served, his eyes never took off his eyes, and while he was serving food to the pot, he was about to move, wanting to eat.

After a few minutes of thinking, the first dish was finally ready, he hurriedly put a chopstick into the bowl, and motioned to Jiang Shangxing and Wang Bing: "Don't look at it, eat, let's eat." ”

Wu Qi is a person who keeps his word, and he promised to invite them to dinner yesterday, so he will definitely not break his promise, so he will ask them out.

He didn't choose any high-end restaurant, he didn't choose a star-rated hotel, but found a hot pot restaurant with a good reputation.

It is easy to get hot when eating hot pot in summer, but for foodies, a little price is not enough to wipe out his appetite, he not only wants to eat hot pot, but also spicy pot.

"Okay, move the chopsticks."

"Eat, come, eat."

Jiang Shangxing and Wang Bing started together.

After eating most of the bowl of meat and satisfying his hunger, Wu Qi raised his wine glass and invited: "Editor-in-chief Jiang, editor-in-chief Wang, come, let's go one." ”

Eating hot pot with beer is the most enjoyable, and it is even more enjoyable to have cold beer, Jiang Shangxing seems to be a master of this way, and he happily picked up the cup and was ready to pour it into his mouth, but Wang Bing was a little embarrassed.

"You two drink, I can't drink."

"Okay, then you don't drink, take a drink instead."

Wu Qi didn't force her either.

After the three of them clinked glasses and walked away, Wu Qi got down to business and said, "Yesterday's book signing meeting was relatively successful." ”

Jiang Shangxing said with a smile: "Success, not ordinary success, the books sold at the signing meeting are just more than 3,000 copies, the key is that the influence is not small, you pay attention to today's newspapers and magazines, there are many mentions of our signing meeting." ”

"So, how many sales?"

Wu Qi asked the question he was most concerned about, sales mean money.

Jiang Shangxing said happily: "Yesterday, more than 118,000 copies were sold in one day, this sales are very good, there is a great chance to break 1 million, if you are lucky, it is not impossible to break 2 million." ”

In the past two years, there have not been many martial arts novels that have sold more than one million, and the works of martial arts masters have only sold two or three million.

Wang Bing continued: "My feedback here is also good, readers are sending more letters to the magazine, and many people are calling the hotline to express positive feedback, and I estimate that the sales of the next issue of the magazine may increase again." ”

"That's not bad, and I'm completely relieved."

Wu Qi said with satisfaction.

Before publication, Wu Qi had a psychological expectation that as long as the sales volume of the first volume of "Pingxia Film" could exceed one million, he would be satisfied.

This book is sold for 28 yuan a book, and at a 10% royalty calculation, he can get 2 yuan and 8 yuan for each book sold, and if he sells 1 million copies, the manuscript fee will be 2.8 million.

Therefore, what kind of author is the most profitable, and the author of best-selling books is the most profitable, as long as he can sell more than 100,000 copies, he will make a lot of money.

"By the way, what kind of book did Zhuge Yun write, it seems that it was released on the same day as my book, how are his book sales?"

Wu Qi remembered something and asked again.

Jiang Shangxing was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I really didn't pay attention, what did he do." ”

Wang Bing hurriedly said: "I know, I specially checked, and his 'Qiang Flute Dark Flying Sound' only sold less than 30,000 copies, and the gap between him and ours is huge." Moreover, I seriously doubt that these 30,000 copies are still the cascading effect caused by him pulling us up the topic in advance, otherwise, the data would not be ugly. ”

Zhuge Yun must have a purpose in looking for Wu Qi to touch porcelain, nothing more than to step on him to stir up fame and boost the sales of books.

Wu Qidong watched the fire and knew Zhuge Yun's purpose very well, so after making a statement, he no longer paid attention to him, let him jump up and down, spew feces all over his mouth, and no longer reacted.

Zhuge Yun jumped hard and was too busy, but as soon as the sales of the books on both sides came out, he immediately became honest and did not write articles to scold people.

No matter how much he depreciates the "Pingxia Film" as useless, the sales have given clear proof, and the broad masses of the people are not fools, their eyes are bright.

If the gap between the two of them is not so big, with his nonsense and shameless fuck. sex, you can also forcibly distort the facts and continue to touch porcelain.

But the difference between the sales of the two books is seventy or eighty thousand, this gap is too big, Zhuge Yun is no longer shameless, no matter how much nonsense he can talk nonsense, reversing right and wrong, it is not good to compare "Qiang Di Flying Sound" and "Ping Tracer Video".

The publication of "Ping's Tracer Video" was an instant hit, selling more than 118,000 copies on the first day, and the sales since then have been relatively stable, with sales of about 100,000 in the previous week, and then falling back, but also within a reasonable range.

Indeed, as Jiang Shangxing estimated, the first volume of "Ping Tracer Film" broke one million in 12 days, and 2 million in 37 days, and after that, whether it can break 3 million depends on luck.

After making sure that the book was selling well, Wu Qi no longer paid too much attention to it, and he had a lot of other things to do.

"Family with Children" is very popular, and the highest rating of the finale reached 9.9%, almost breaking through 10%, causing a big sensation in the entertainment industry and TV circles.

With such a good result, many TV stations are interested in "having children at home", and they eagerly contacted Wu Qi to buy the license for the second round of broadcasting.

Wu Qi was also contacted before, but he didn't agree, he thought that the ratings of "Family with Children" would be higher and more valuable.

Sure enough, by the end of this drama, he will be more confident, the ratings of 9.9 are not comparable to 5 or 6 o'clock, and the selling price will inevitably rise sharply.

Speaking of which, Wu Qi is still a little regretful, but it's a pity that the ratings didn't break ten points, otherwise, the price of this TV series would be even more different, and he dared to increase the price by another third.

I booked a conference hall in a hotel in the imperial capital, and discussed with representatives of more than a dozen television stations interested in "family with children" to sell the license for the second round of broadcasting by means of internal bidding.

In the end, Hualuo Modu Satellite TV and Shonan Satellite TV, both of which were equally divided, gave a high price of 180,000 yuan for an episode, totaling 18 million yuan.

After the second round of broadcasting authorization, there is a third round and bulk sales, at which time more TV stations are involved, and the bids of each are not too high, but they are large enough to be sold to multiple companies. Therefore, the profit was more than in the second round, reaching more than 23 million.
