Chapter 383: Best Seller
Tong Yan still has a lot of opinions about Ye Zi leaving himself on the road alone, a girl, such a long journey, isn't she afraid of danger.
"You're in a hurry to get back to school so early?"
"It's not funny at all."
Well, classmate Ye Qingzhu doesn't have a boyfriend yet, this guess is not true, "You went back so early, did the school let you live?" Tong Yan asked again.
"Let," may feel a little unkind, Ye Qingzhu added, "I want to represent the academy in a physics competition in the C9 Alliance, and I need to train intensively, so I should come earlier." ”
"Oh, that's it," Tong Yan still accepted this reason, "Say it earlier, then you train hard, I'll be here in the next two days." ”
Speaking of Valentine's Day, a few days ago have passed, and at that time, An Luwei tried her best to encourage Tong Yan to go to the capital or the magic capital, and she also went to meet Tong Yan, and the two had a holiday, played for a few days and then went to school together.
However, Tong Yan insisted on staying until the fifteenth on the grounds that he wanted to spend the Lantern Festival with his family, and part of the reason was to go on the road with Wang Ping and Ye Qingzhu, but both of them went ahead of him, which made him depressed and couldn't help but regret it, it was better to play with Weiwei.
Tong Yan originally wanted to take the train back to Jinling, although the plane was fast, it was not as interesting as the train, and he was not in a hurry.
Although the train journey of more than ten hours is torturous, you can see a lot of world affairs and people, this is an activity that writers with ideas are keen on, and you can't write good works if you don't move around at home, and things that come out of your imagination are less flavorful after all.
If it weren't for the lack of time, Tong Yan really wanted to try Dang Han's way and ride a bicycle to school, it was estimated that it would be a rare sharpening of his will.
I had just laid down in my bunk and was about to read a novel on my phone when a call came in. The name of the note is edited by Chen Zhengnian, Tong Yan knows not many editors, there are a few in Taiwan, and some at the starting point, and this one is Boguang Culture.
Tong Yan's "Emperor Immortal" was published in simplified Chinese in cooperation with Boguang Culture and published by Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House. So far, 8 copies have been released, this company is a small company, but the payment is very happy, it will not take long after the new book is put on the shelves to call his manuscript fee, and the situation of several reprints has also been reported to him, Tong Yan enjoys a royalty share of 9 points, the better the book sells, his income will naturally be higher.
"Hello Bian Chen. Is there something wrong?"
"Hello Mr. Wuji, it's like this, the sales of "Emperor Immortal" exceeded 300,000 after the year, I would like to congratulate you."
It's called Teacher Wuji again, and I can't change it after saying it a few times, so embarrassed, "Oh, yes." And I want to thank you. Tong Yan has about a number of sales of his novels, and the total sales of 300,000 are not surprising.
8 books. A total of 300,000 copies of the sales of each book is more than 30,000, and the first one or two volumes may be able to reach 50,000 because they have been reprinted, which is the general bestseller standard in China (on top of this, there is also a comparison of bestsellers and super bestsellers), so Tong Yan Wuji is also a best-selling author in the domestic book market.
Of course. Bestsellers are also relative, compared with most online writers, Dixian's physical book sales are indeed much stronger, because of the audience, writing, and three views, when other online simplified books only have 10,000 prints. The sales volume of a single volume of "Emperor Immortal" has reached more than 30,000, which is weaker than the old gods such as Wild Fox and Xiao Ding under the tree in the online literature circle, and is comparable to the three young men of the Tang family.
But compared with the long-selling authors on the Rich Writers list, this sales are a bit insufficient, last year, Han Sai's "Glory Day" first printed 600,000 copies, so far sold more than a million, and the book has only 110,000 words.
Guo Xiaosi's controversial "Sadness Flows into a River" sold more than one million copies in a week, Guo Xiaosi was able to defeat Yu Dan and Yi Zhongtian, two academic superwomen and supermen, on the list of rich writers in 07, and this book has a lot of credit.
Even if online writers are based on the Internet, they are all proud of publishing physical books, and they are all regretful for the poor sales of physical books, and the same is true for Tong Yan, the sales of 300,000 copies of "Emperor Immortal" in eight volumes and Guo Han's sales of one million copies must be very regrettable, but Tong Yan can see the potential in this.
The average order of "Emperor Immortal" at the starting point is 20,000+, and the high order is not more than 40,000, and there are no other genuine channels for the time being, that is to say, no more than 40,000 people are willing to spend on the Internet for this book, but the sales of the first volume of "Emperor Immortal" have reached more than 50,000, indicating that some readers who have not read this book on the Internet, or who have seen pirated copies, choose to take out their pockets to support this novel that once made them happy, happy and obsessed when they faced the exquisite physical book of "Emperor Immortal".
Tong Yan believes that there are not a few readers who are accustomed to collecting their favorite physical books of online novels, because physical books make them feel more worthwhile, more conducive to preservation and circulation. And there are no less than 200,000 readers of the genuine and pirated version of "Emperor Immortal", which also means that the physical book sales of "Emperor Immortal" have such great potential.
It is not only Tong Yan who sees this potential, but also people from broad culture, because the time for the first printing of each physical book of "Emperor Immortal" is shortening, which means that this online novel, which was not particularly valued by them before, has great market potential.
Those super bestsellers or long-selling books are not something that any book company can encounter, they are top resources that can be met but not sought, Han Sai has been cooperating with Lu Jinbo, Guo Xiaosi has opened his own company, and the cooperation between Tianxia Ba Sing and An' Hui Literature and Art Publishing House has been intimate, so for a small cultural media company like Boguang Culture, it is pragmatic to be able to catch some general bestseller authors, and the child's "Emperor Immortal" is expected to publish more than a dozen volumes, which is equivalent to more than a dozen general bestsellers. And it can be completed almost in a year or two, such an author, such a work, the attraction of broad culture is huge.
Now the sales of a single volume of "Emperor Immortal" can only be regarded as a general bestseller, but there is a precedent of "Furious Thunder", with the popularity of "Emperor Immortal", the physical sales of "Furious Thunder" have increased to a certain extent, and the original single volume sales of 10,000 or 20,000 have basically reached the level of 20,000+.
So if Tong Yan Wuji's works after "Emperor Immortal" can continue to be brilliant, if "Emperor Immortal" can adapt a successful online game, and even if "Emperor Immortal" can have the opportunity to show its charm on the TV screen, then the explosion of physical book sales is just around the corner, maybe "Emperor Immortal" can create more than a dozen relatively bestsellers, and they dare not think of super bestsellers.
It is based on the importance of Tong Yan Wuji and "Emperor Immortal", so Chen Zhengnian called this call, and the good news was secondary, he mainly wanted to say: "Our boss attaches great importance to Mr. Wuji, he feels that the book "Emperor Immortal" has led the atmosphere of Xianxia novels and is a rare good book, so starting from the ninth volume, the number of first prints has risen from 30,000 to 50,000 copies. ”
"Okay." This means that as soon as the new book comes out, Tong Yan will be able to earn about 100,000 yuan, which is about 500 words per thousand, which is a lot higher than the traditional income.
"Also, the company is going to arrange a national signing meeting for you, do you see if your schedule can be arranged?" Chen Zhengnian asked.
Tong Yan has only participated in one signing meeting, that is, when he participated in the New Concept Essay Contest that year, he participated in a physical book signing of well-known online writers with Sanshao, Dancing, and Jingguan, and his book fans were still very enthusiastic at that time, and almost compared the other three, after all, in addition to his good writing, he also has a good appearance worth seeing.
However, Tong Yan has not experienced a person's signing meeting, and he has never participated in the national signing meeting, and he always feels that it has to be the treatment of authors of the rank of Han Sai and Guo Xiaosi.
"Nationwide signings? Can it be organized? "Will anyone cheer for it? Tong Yan was worried.
"Mr. Wuji, you have to believe in the strength of our company, but also have confidence in your popularity, now you have become a leader in youth fantasy literature, I believe that this national signing will be successfully completed!"
Later, Chen Zhengnian told Tong Yan that the so-called national tour signing is actually just a few big cities, and they selected a few more representative cities with good sales of novels according to the sales data of "Emperor Immortal", so that he could have a close interaction with fans.
Tong Yan asked, "Is there a double celebration in the city of the signing?" ”
"The city we chose in the southwest is Chengdu."
"Okay then," is where Vivi grew up as a child, "what do you think of May Labor Day, I'm more idle for a while." ”
Chen Zhengnian said with a smile: "The company's plan is also May Day, which can just cooperate with the release of "Emperor Immortal 10", and it is more meaningful to come out of the tenth book, and the sales will definitely be good, and you will need to cooperate with more publicity when the time comes." ”
What he meant Tong Yan understood that Tong Yan would definitely post at the end of the chapter and blog to promote this national signing, so that it would be possible to seduce those potential buyers, after all, seeing Tong Yan's unscrupulous side is also the wish of many book fans, and he still has a bit of appeal.
Talking and laughing, Tong Yan and editor Chen Zhengnian finalized the issue of the national signing meeting, hung up the phone, Tong Yan found that a big brother in the lower bunk opposite was sucking instant noodles while listening to him calling, his eyes kept glancing at him, the moment he hung up the phone, the eyes of the two just met, Tong Yan smiled at him friendly.
Although that person looks a little obscene, he doesn't look like a bad person, even if he is a bad person, with his small body, Tong Yan doesn't have to be afraid.
When the man saw Tong Yan smiling at him, he immediately put down the instant noodles, "Hello, you are a writer?" Excuse me, but I just heard your conversation? (To be continued......)
