People stumble, horses stumble!

Lilac has always won all battles, but this time she missed, and the price was heavy.

"Dream of Red Mansions is on fire! So what? Many of the books I wrote were on fire! Li Qing said.

"It's different!" Lilac said: "You know, it's called pop? ”

"A epidemic is a cold, and the people of the whole country have caught a cold!" Li Qing said.

"There are two kinds of popularity, one is called top-down, first it is popular in the upper class society, it is sought after by the upper class, and then the lower class society begins to imitate, so that it becomes popular in this society, this kind of fashion is called elegance; And one is bottom-up, which is first sought after in the bottom society, affecting the entire people, and then spreading to the customs! ”

Lilac said leisurely.

"And many entertainment companies have taken the latter route, first getting the approval of the lower level, and then the approval of the upper level, and maybe even in the end, the upper level is still not recognized. And this book has been recognized by the Donghua nobles, especially the emperor, who personally appreciated it, saying that this book is a good book! ”

Li Qing took a deep breath, and there was some joy in his heart, Dream of Red Mansions was really still famous.

There are many books that the average reader can't read, and only those in the upper class can understand. But the propaganda of the upper class is undoubtedly the best advertisement, and it is more terrifying than the general advertising power.

It has been recognized by the people at the bottom, not by the upper class, and at most it is a popular novel.

But it has been recognized by the upper class, and then it has been recognized by the lower class, and it may be a classic.

The difference is too great!

"How's the sales?" Li Qing asked. Everything is fake, only money is real.

"The dance drama of "The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling" has been screened for more than 100 consecutive performances, making little money, and even losing some money, but it has made a reputation; Later, the printed CD sold for 500,000 yuan, which was not popular or hot. And later music albums, sales in 20 million! ”

Lilac said.

"Twenty million! That's a scary number! Li Qing said.

In Donghua, the average music album can be bought for more than one million, which is considered good. And those who can buy 10 million are often famous international superstars, and they have been brewing for a long time. And the music album "Dream of Red Mansions" can be bought for 20 million, which is really a miracle.

"How much did the physical book sell?" Li Qing asked again.

"Physical book!" Lilac said, "About sixty million!"

"Sixty million, this number is terrifying!" Li Qing exclaimed, "Donghua has a population of only 300 million, but there are 60 million physical book sales, which means that in Donghua, one out of every five people has bought "Dream of Red Mansions". ”

"It's just Donghua. In the Zhuhua Alliance, there are 15 countries such as ancient China, South China, North China, and Xihua, all of which are Chinese-speaking regions, and they are all similar to the culture, customs, etc. of Donghua, and the sales volume is no longer a few. It's just that these areas can't be counted specifically. However, I estimate that the sales volume will reach at least 200 million sales in a year; Within ten years, there will be no problem at all to reach 800 million sales! ”

"It's horrible!" Li Qing said: "I used to hit the street to the extreme, but now it is extremely popular, all kinds of qiē, it is unbelievable, it is simply indescribable!" ”

The Dream of Red Mansions is on fire, but it is just a brief number, which can be seen.

It's just that Li Qing also wants to ask about the specific number, such as how much money he makes.

"By the way, how much money can I make, how much music albums have been sold, how much money are these made?" Li Qing asked.

"It's hard to count this number, but fifteen yuan for a music album, of course, some deluxe versions may be thirty yuan, or even fifty yuan; And the physical book, the cheap one may be twenty yuan, and the deluxe version may be fifty yuan! Ding Xiang pondered: "So far, relying on the income of all aspects of "Dream of Red Mansions", I estimate that you can earn at least 300 million!" ”

"Three hundred million!"

Li Qing immediately felt a little nervous and a little speechless.

Money is not everything, and it is impossible without money.

Money can't measure everything, some things can't be measured by money, but money can measure most things.

"300 million, is it pre-tax income or after-tax income?" Li Qing asked.

"Pre-tax income!" Lilac Road.

"It's a pity, I have to pay half of the personal income tax, at least 1.5 billion taxes!" Li Qing immediately felt a slight toothache.

"It's just in music albums, in physical books, the real big heads are in movies, TV series, and there's a lot of money to make money watching this trend!" Lilac said: "I estimate that if you earn at least one billion, this is after-tax income!" ”

"It's a pity ......"

Li Qing said leisurely.

"Dream of Red Mansions" was a huge success.

But Li Qing couldn't help but think of Cao Xueqin, who was the real real writer.

And not like him, just a copyist.

has achieved such great results, and when Li Qing is happy, he is more sad.

Cao Xueqin was born at the wrong time, and when he was alive, "Dream of Red Mansions" was always hitting the streets; But it wasn't until a few years after his death, especially after being appreciated by **, that he became a god in one fell swoop.

And when he came to this plane, he achieved the goal of becoming a god through the works of this great god.

It's a pity that Cao Xueqin was born at the wrong time.

Back then, British Rowling relied on "Harry Potter" to become the first writer in the world, worth a billion dollars.

If Cao Xueqin is alive, it is a good era, and her income will not be inferior to Rowling, but it's a pity......

hung up the phone, Li Qing began to check on the Internet, wanting to see for himself how popular "Dream of Red Mansions" is, but he didn't know if he didn't check it.

"There is a novel in Donghua called "Dream of Red Mansions", which is comparable to "Analects" and "Tao Te Ching"!"

"Dream of Red Mansions is a family history book, a novel describing the rise and fall of Donghua!"

"Dream of Red Mansions" seems to be about love, but in fact it is talking about various facts, life and ideals, and the decline of civilization. Through this book, we can see that Donghua is in decline and Chinese civilization is in decline! ”

"Dream of Red Mansions is very difficult to read, it is very difficult to read, there is no certain literary knowledge, no certain life experience, and classical cultural heritage, so I can't understand it at all. Many young people can't understand "Dream of Red Mansions" because the classical culture is shallow, and some of them forget their ancestors! ”

"The cultural connotation of "Dream of Red Mansions" is too profound, and it is not at all like that written by a young man in his twenties, and I suspect that he is plagiarizing. But if you think about it carefully, Donghua doesn't have that writer, and it's worth plagiarizing. In other words, in Donghua's impetuous era, being able to write such a masterpiece is almost equivalent to a lotus growing in the desert, which is unbelievable! ”

Looking at this entry, Li Qing immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his face, just because he hit his weakness all of a sudden.
