Chapter 540: Sanshao's Guess

After discussion, Tong Yan, Liu Ming, and Chen Zhengnian positioned the company's development route as the main physical publishing of online novels, which is somewhat close to Motie Books, but the development of Motie is more comprehensive, and the share of online novels only accounts for a small part of Motie, Shanshi does not intend to take online novels as the whole of the company's development, and other types must also be involved, but take online novels as a breakthrough, seek high-quality online texts, and use Internet popularity to promote physical sales, this idea is also very good. Since there is no publishing company dedicated to this, Shanshi will be the first one.

There is no publishing company dedicated to this business, an important reason is that the physical books of online novels usually sell poorly, the millions of sales of "Zhu Xian" are miracles, and there are very few such levels as "Emperor Xian" and "Qin Emperor", like tomatoes and dancing gods, there are countless online readers, but the sales of physical books are only 10,000 copies per volume, and there are many books that will be cut in half because they can't be sold when they are published, and a set of books can't be completed, which is the impact of the market, and there are also books like "Evil Spirit" that have been cut in half because of policies. There are also physical books that have been cut in half because of the original eunuchs, and more than half of "Good Men of the Tang Dynasty" is an example of this.

Choosing this road, several bosses of Shanshi are also very worried, first of all, there are too few successful examples, and Tong Yan also put forward a request, no matter what the sales are, since the decision to publish, unless you encounter force majeure factors, such as the policy does not allow or the author himself is a eunuch, otherwise do not cut in half. Tong Yan is an online writer himself, he knows how difficult it is for online writers, and how eager they are to have a physical book of their own to prove their authorship, so as long as they are chosen, don't give them hope and make them desperate.

Chen Zhengnian has no objection to this, and this kind of thing is not good for the author. In fact, looking at the online novels of those publishing entities, it is not difficult to find that these books are usually crudely produced, from the cover to the layout, from publicity to distribution, there is almost no intention of the publisher. is completely in a laissez-faire state, and it is too difficult for such a physical book to attract fans to buy, so there will be a situation where even half of the 10,000 copies cannot be sold, so the publishing house will definitely lose money, so it is inevitable to cut it in half.

Chen Zhengnian, who has the experience of successfully publishing "Emperor Xian", naturally has many good ways to improve the attractiveness of a physical online novel, so he is still very eager to try, after the company's name change and leadership, Chen Zhengnian began to work on the topic selection with his colleagues in the editorial department, and Tong Yan will also put forward some of his own opinions. For example, choose from the ten-year inventory works of online literature that are being selected, such as paying more attention to women's frequency websites, women's works are usually gorgeous and good-looking, the publication value is higher, and the readers' desire to buy is stronger.

Then Tong Yan glanced at the starting point monthly ticket list in March and nominated two novels. One is the ninth-ranked Mowu work "The Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains", and the second is the second-ranked Tang family's Sanshao work "Douluo Continent".

The former has a good writing style. The readers are iron enough, and the historical romance of "The Beauty of the Rivers and Mountains" is relatively easy to operate, so Tong Yan named the name of this book. Not to mention the latter, just the four words of the Tang family are worth fighting for, although this book has just begun, and I can't see anything yet. But at least it can be seen that Sanshao is ready to play innocence, it should be a single heroine, I don't know if it is related to his wife being pregnant with a child, but such a setting is more acceptable to physical readers, and it is also conducive to the promotion of this book among students.

Here's the problem. Can the Tang family, which has a wide range of physical publishing paths, look at a small company like Shanshi.

Sure enough, after reading the two novels, Chen Zhengnian skipped the starting point and contacted the two authors, because Tong Yan told him that in this way, the authors would not have to divide the website, and they would be more acceptable, as for the contact information, of course, Tong Yan gave it to him.

Mo Wu's "The Beauty of the Mountains" went very well, and Mo Wu's books have a certain market in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but the simplified Chinese copyright is the first time that the publishing company has taken a fancy to it, and the company's successful planning of the "Emperor Immortal" series is also the main reason for his excitement.

However, the three young people of the Tang family are not so easy to speak, he has been mixed for so many years, the way of simplified publishing is too wide, the editors of large and small publishing houses know a basket, and Tong Yan published "Furious Thunder" at the beginning It was still the help of the three young people, so Chen Zhengnian accidentally touched a nail in him.

So Chen Zhengnian wanted Tong Yan to go out in person, and through the friendship between the two, he would include this ironclad and profitable novel into Shanshi Books. But this is exactly what Tong Yan doesn't want to do, if it's the kind of novel that has no way to publish, Tong Yan doesn't mind being a Bole, but the books of the Tang family never worry about being published, and they don't worry about not being able to sell after publication.

However, in the end, Tong Yan still called Tang Sanshao, first, asking him to write a recommendation for "Montagonous.1", and also for "The First Chaos in History" is an entity to write a recommendation, and Tang Sanshao and Tong Yan, who have many friends, have to write a lot of this kind of thing every year.

Tang Sanshao responded without hesitation, "Douluo" surpassed "Monstrous" on the monthly ticket list in March, he has been in a good mood recently, he has also read "The First Chaos in History", and knows how to write it, but he is very strange that Tong Yanwuji also helps, how good his relationship with Zhang Xiaohua is.

San Shao couldn't help but quip: "Your friend is too worthwhile, this kind of thing is so concerned." ”

"I can't help but care, if the sales of the books published by my company are too poor, I will lose money." Sooner or later, it will be made public, Tong Yan mentioned it and revealed it to Tang San.

"What? Own company! The third young man of the Tang family was unexpectedly surprised.

Then Tong Yan briefly talked about how he bought the publishing company that published "Emperor Immortal", and said casually, Shanshi Books will also be your choice in the future, but he didn't mention a few words about "Douluo Continent".

"Is this what he said, that there will be a big move soon?" After putting down the phone, the third young man of the Tang family couldn't calm down for a long time, does this kid want to compare everyone else? The sense of accomplishment of being second in the monthly pass suddenly vanished.

Although he had an unpleasant quarrel with Longkong's moderator Yu Se last year, claiming that he would never go to Longkong again, the Tang family Sanshao also heard from the group that Yu Yan, Tong Yan Wuji, and Wei successively claimed that there would be big moves, and for a while, "big moves" became a trend.

When the three young men of the Tang family thought that they had guessed Tong Yan Wuji's "big move", Weid, who represented Longkong, also announced their big move...... (To be continued.) )
