Chapter 111 Million Hong Kong dollars

"Ethereal Journey" is coming to an end, and at this time, "Oriental Daily" has launched a vigorous promotion of Chen Lang's third novel, which is a new theme, plus the domineering sentence "has always been imitated, never surpassed!" "For a while, "Xun Qin" has not yet been serialized, and it has resounded throughout Hong Kong, and it is extremely hot.

In this fiery hustle and bustle, Chen Lang's dual identity has brought unexpected surprises, and many Chen Lang's fans have also joined in the fiery promotion of "Xun Qin Ji", introducing their idols everywhere, whether you love to listen to songs, love to dance, love to read novels, or love to watch beautiful and handsome guys, as long as you get involved, many fans of Chen Lang will pull you over and make you a member of Chen Lang's fans.

On the third day, "Oriental Daily" broke out that Chen Lang's first novel "Zhu Xian" physical book has sold a total of 100,000 sets in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia (it has not yet been reached, in order to promote some false data), and the sales of 500,000 copies shocked everyone for a while.

Countless newspapers and media sang praises for Chen Lang and touted it, believing that Chen Lang should not be a little talent, but should be the fifth largest alongside the four talents of Xiangjiang, divided into east, west, north, south, and middle, known as the five uniques of Xiangjiang.

Countless industry insiders also said that Chen Lang's achievement is incredible.

In the 80s of the 20th century, record piracy was not very serious, and it was not until the late 80s and early 90s that the rapid development of audio tapes, tapes, and information technology made the piracy of record albums like a wind sweeping away leaves, squeezing out most of the profits of record companies.

And now in a few years, that is, in the mid-eighties, even if a movie or TV series star releases a record, it will be able to exceed the sales of 1 platinum, not to mention the sales of superstars such as Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, and Anita Mui, which are all sales of more than 5 platinums, which is unimaginable data in later generations.

However, piracy in the publishing industry has a long history, and piracy is also very rampant, after all, book printing does not require high technical requirements like record recording, and the production cost of a record is undoubtedly much higher than that of a novel, so many people can do book piracy with a little money.

Nowadays, novels can be said to be a very important entertainment pastime for everyone, and the general public is not aware of the original, and who doesn't like cheap things, so the profits of pirated novels are very considerable.

Taking Taiwan as an example, the first thing that made "Zhu Xian" and "Ethereal Journey" popular was pirated books, and everyone quickly learned about these two books through pirated books, and then it was word of mouth, relying on excellent quality to be recognized by everyone, and then some people with an economic base would pay for the genuine novels that Taiwan is now selling, which is really laughable.

It is indeed incredible that such sales can be achieved in half a month under the condition of serious book piracy, and then major industry insiders began to analyze the reasons, and there are three reasons for this.

The first is, of course, the excellent quality of the novel, which is the basis of all novels that sell well, and a big sale of a novel will always be accompanied by a shining point, so that everyone likes it and is willing to pay for it.

"Zhu Xian" is first novel, now everyone sees the most is martial arts novels, suddenly came out of a high-quality Xianxia novel, everyone naturally feels fresh, and at the same time, the description of the word "love" is a must, everyone is deeply moved, especially the role of Baguio has won the sympathy and regret of the vast majority of people.

The second is the recommendation of famous experts. An important reason why this novel has opened up the situation in Southeast Asia and Taiwan is the appreciation and recommendation of Jin Yong and other famous artists, and the words of the great god are much stronger than your 10,000 advertisements.

The third is the aftermath of the Asian Amateur Singing Competition, Chen Lang's space walk performed in front of eight countries and regions amazed the entire Southeast Asia and East Asia, everyone is deeply impressed by Chen Lang, and will also be curious, coupled with the publicity and cooperation of major booksellers, which stimulates everyone's desire to buy, so "Zhu Xian" will have such high sales.

Regarding the expert's analysis, countless people just glanced at it and then said "oh" and stopped paying attention, but discussed how much money Chen Lang could make from it.

Where there is demand, there is supply, and soon Chen Lang's profit distribution ratio was set up by reporters who tried their best to do so, Chen Lang's copyright tax was 8% plus 7% of the share, but it was all profit sharing after removing costs. In the end, Chen Lang can get 15% of the profit from the sales of "Zhu Xian" after deducting all costs.

There are a total of five books in a set, and the selling price is 45 Hong Kong dollars, excluding the cost of paper, printing, binding, labor, transportation and discounts to major sales channels, the benefit of a set of books is about 20 yuan. Based on the sale of 100,000 sets, the profit obtained is 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and Chen Lang can get 15% of it, that is, 300,000 sales shares.

This is only half a month's sales, and in the end, the sales of "Zhu Xian" are likely to double, so Chen Lang will receive more than 600,000 dividends, this is just a novel, and "Ethereal Journey" has not been published.

Then there are two novels that are about to be adapted into comics, I don't know if Chen Lang has participated in sales dividends, but even if there are no sales dividends, Chen Lang will be able to earn 1 million Hong Kong dollars in less than a year. What was HK$1 million in 1981?

The salary of ordinary employees in Hong Kong is still about 1,500, how many years of hard work do they have to work hard to earn 1 million? And Lang Lang's novels will continue to be written, then published, and then adapted into comics, and even adapted into TV series and movies, etc., and the money will only be more in the future.

The citizens of Hong Kong are still talking about Chen Lang earning 1 million Hong Kong dollars in just one year, and when Chen Lang was in school, everyone also asked him in every way, of course, about the latest novel "Looking for Qin", and when Chen Lang will be able to release a record.

Chen Lang told everyone that his first Cantonese album will be released soon, but the record is still being recorded, and the exact time is still uncertain.

Now Chen Lang has a headache that the people in the school's dance club almost tied Chen Lang to the dance club, and Chen Lang had to teach them space steps, otherwise he would not give up, Chen Lang had no choice but to explain some of the dance moves of space steps one by one, plus personally demonstrate and teach to everyone.

But to be honest, space steps are a kind of dance steps with high technical requirements, without a certain foundation can not be done at all, many students learn for a long time may not be able to learn, but everyone does not give up, practice hard, must learn, Chen Lang can only sigh the great charm of space walking at the same time, seriously guide everyone, do their best to help this group of young boys and girls who love dance.

Chen Lang was nervously reviewing and teaching everyone dance in the school, and the reporters came to the door again, hoping that Chen Lang would be interviewed, and in the face of enthusiastic reporters, our principal appeared again, and enthusiastically introduced the glorious history of the school and waved his sleeves, not taking away a cloud, and walked away in style, leaving only Chen Lang here to deal with many reporters.

"Lang Lang, it is rumored that you have earned 1 million in a year, is it true?"

"1 million, is there so much? How I don't know. Who said it, I know better than myself how much money I make, amazing! Chen Lang gave a thumbs up after speaking.

"Lang Lang, after you won the Asian Amateur Singing Competition, have you signed a contract with any record company?"

"It's true that I've been approached by a number of record labels, but no agreement has been reached yet." Chen Lang could only open his eyes and say nonsense.

"Lang Lang, can you tell us about your latest novel "Xun Qin Ji"?"

"I can only say that "Xun Qin" is a novel with a new theme, and it will definitely surprise everyone!" ……
