Chapter 27: Best Newcomer Award
"What? Two hundred and seventeen thousand copies? ”
Hearing this number, Mr. Li was stunned from the inside out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It happened that Zhao Zhiqian took a sip of the teacup, and when he heard this number, he snorted and squirted out.
Wang Xiaobo originally thought that the 150,000 copies he had mentioned earlier was already a lot, but when Wang Zhigang announced the specific sales figures, he immediately broke his jaw.
Seeing that everyone in the editor was stunned by this number, Wang Zhigang grinned. He also thought that when he got this data just now and saw the sales of Xun Mengji, his eyes were also wide and unbelievable.
After confirming that he was not mistaken, Wang Zhigang didn't say a word, and immediately went to the editor-in-chief to seek the true reliability of this figure!
After receiving the editor-in-chief's affirmative answer and the sales data was not mistaken, Wang Zhi walked out unbelievably just now.
That's right, that's more than staggering...... It's just scary!
"This data must be wrong!"
When he came back to his senses, Mr. Li couldn't help but cry out: "210,000 copies, how is it possible?" Last month, a total of 150,000 copies were printed! How can there be so many more out of thin air? That's right, it must have been a mistake! As he spoke, he looked at Liu Qing.
It looked like Liu Qing was cheating in it.
Hearing Mr. Li's words, everyone present shook their heads speechlessly. The book sales data of Oriental Publishing House was compiled by the distribution department and then passed on.
Before it is sent to the editorial office, the sales of any book will be confirmed more than twice and twice.
Moreover, the sales of Xun Meng Ji are not 20,000 copies, but a record 210,000 copies!
With such data, the possibility of miscalculation on the part of the distribution department is only zero!
"In fact, half a month ago, the 150,000 copies of Xun Mengji that were printed were all sold out, and the booksellers we cooperated with were still urging them to continue printing, and the editor-in-chief thought about it and added about 70,000 copies, basically, all of them were almost sold out!"
Wang Zhigang explained, with envy and admiration in his eyes, he looked at Liu Qing and said with a smile: "Liu Qing, congratulations, you are a well-deserved first place this month!" ”
In fact, even if there is no such sentence, everyone knows that the sales of Xun Mengji are definitely the first.
210,000 copies!
That's a scary number!
Moreover, this is still in the case that Liu Qing does not have any fame, to achieve such an astonishing sales situation, if the Oriental Publishing House uses all the connections such as resources and channels to promote Xun Mengji, it is estimated that it may reach 300,000 copies!
"Hehe, just luck."
Liu Qing was modest, and his heart was about to bloom. Looking for the matter of Meng Ji being reprinted again, Liu Yun mentioned it to him in private, although he didn't tell him how many copies he had printed, but Liu Qing estimated that it couldn't be less than 50,000 copies.
That's why he guessed the number of 200,000 copies.
"210,000 copies ......" Teacher Li sat on the chair in a daze, muttering over and over again, and then looked at Liu Qing's eyes, with a trace of awe!
That's right.
The hot sale of Xun Meng Ji is completely beyond Mr. Li's imagination, with such a result, even if Liu Qing is not an editor and only makes a living by writing books, he can live a very nourishing life!
In the evening, at the strong request of Wang Xiaobo and others, Liu Qing invited colleagues from the entire editorial department to go to the hotel for a big meal.
As for Mr. Li and Zhao Zhiqian, Liu Qing also issued an invitation, and Liu Qing originally felt that these two would not go.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Zhiqian nodded and agreed without even hesitation. Teacher Li hesitated for a few minutes before nodding in agreement.
At the dinner table, Mr. Li not only took the initiative to toast Liu Qing with a glass of wine, but also praised Liu Qing in public. This really surprised Liu Qing.
But after thinking about it, Liu Qing can also understand. He is definitely a hot person in the Oriental Publishing House at the moment, and Mr. Li has not won a single battle against himself in these battles, in this case, it is better to simply have a good relationship with himself.
When the meal was finished and the bill was settled, Liu Qing couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and he actually spent more than 4,000 yuan on a meal! It was more than double the budget of 2,000 yuan he expected.
This can't help but make Liu Qing complain that the consumption in Kyoto is really expensive.
But fortunately, within a few days, Liu Yun called Liu Qing to the office and handed him a check for 100,000 yuan.
"Originally, the author's royalties were distributed after the completion of the book, and the number of sales was counted, but your Xunmeng Ji, the sales volume is really good, plus I heard that you had a treat a few days ago and spent all the money on your body, so I went to the editor-in-chief to apply for it and sent it to you in advance."
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Liu."
Liu Qing couldn't help but be grateful, to be honest, he has always been grateful to Liu Yun. Because it was Liu Yun who recruited him to the Oriental Publishing House in the first place, and in addition, Xun Mengji was also recommended by Liu Yun to publish it.
Although Liu Qing is confident that Xun Mengji will definitely be able to publish even if he changes to another publishing house, it is definitely not as good as it is now, the manuscript fee is calculated according to the fourth-tier authors, and the royalties are also paid in advance.
"You're welcome, you've earned it all yourself."
Liu Yun waved her hand, her slender and charming Danfeng eyes swept over Liu Qing, and said lightly: "Xun Meng Ji writes well, and at the end of the year, I will strive to apply for you the award of the Best Newcomer of the Year." ”
"Best Newcomer?"
When Liu Qing heard this award, he was stunned, it was the first time he had heard of it.
"Well, Wang Xiaobo and they all know, you can go to him and ask." Liu Yun glanced at her watch.
Liu Qing immediately said with interest: "Then I'll go first, Editor-in-Chief Liu." ”
Liu Yun nodded.
Coming out of the office, Liu Qing found Wang Xiaobo, "Editor-in-chief Liu told me just now that at the end of the year, I will apply for the Best Newcomer of the Year Award, what is this award for?" ”
"Huh? Newcomer of the Year? ”
Hearing this award, Wang Xiaobo was stunned, then nodded and said, "Well, that's right." With the achievement of Xun Meng Ji, he is indeed qualified to compete, and this Best Newcomer of the Year Award is not an award in the publishing industry but in the entire cultural circle. It is specifically for authors, and if you can win this award for the best newcomer of the year, you can be regarded as a little famous in the author's circle. ”
"That's it?"
Liu Qing blinked and said disappointedly: "I thought there would be other things, such as bonuses and the like." ”
"You're a fan of wealth, aren't you?"
Wang Xiaobo was immediately happy, "There must be a bonus, but the prize money for the Best Newcomer Award is not much, about 10,000 yuan, the most important thing in this award is not the bonus, but fame, do you understand?" I don't know how many people dream of winning this award! ”
