Chapter 168: The Year of Harvest (End of Volume)
and Harem. The Legend of Zhen Huan" was discovered by Xiaobei at the same time, as well as "My Beautiful Boss" and "How Much Love Can Be Hulai", which preceded "Harem. The Biography of Zhen Huan" was published, and the sales exceeded 50,000 copies in a short period of time with the popularity on the Internet, but the stamina was insufficient, so far, "My Beauty Boss" finally sold 80,000 copies, and "How Much Love Can Be Hulai" was slightly better, with 100,000 copies, and the market performance was not as good as "Harem. The Legend of Zhen Huan", but the good news is that "My Beautiful Boss" sold the adaptation rights of the TV series, although it is not a big company and the selling price is not high, but as the second work to sell the adaptation rights after "Flight Attendant", it is still gratifying, which also shows the correctness of Tiandi Xuanhuang's establishment of the copyright center.
Both Li Wenhua and He Mu firmly believe that the company's excellent novels will one day be put on the screen or screen, in addition to the income from adaptation rights, film and television works can also make the company make a lot of money by driving book sales.
Speaking of adaptations, the recent "Du Lala's Promotion" has to be mentioned, when it was first published in September, this book was unpopular, after re-planning and positioning, the second edition of "Du Lala's Promotion" became popular all of a sudden, in early December, it was ranked second in the sales of excellent online novels, and now it has seized the first place, it has only been on the market for more than a month, and the sales have exceeded the 100,000 mark, reaching 120,000, and now many film and television companies have started the idea of "Du Lala", Li Wenhua felt that it was necessary to sell it at a high price, and of course, if Xiao Fang was interested, he could sell it to Tiger Wolf cheaper.
Among all the novels published by Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, He Mu's sister-in-law Chen Xuehe has a soft spot for a "To Our Dying Youth". The author is Xin Yiwu, a well-known figure on the Internet, a representative of a new generation of romance novels. This novel was also discovered by Xiaobei, and it is of the highest quality among all the emotional books published by Tiandi Xuanhuang. The book published in August has sold more than 150,000 copies so far, and has gained a very good reputation among readers, and Xin Yiwu has gradually become the "queen of love" in the mouth of readers.
Although Tiandi Xuanhuang has not established an author's agency system, many authors, including Xin Yiwu, choose to continue to cooperate with Tiandi Xuanhuang after creating new works, because Li Wenhua has always pursued the principle of giving authors the most relaxed and comfortable creative environment, so prepayment of royalties, shouting for warmth, and never urging manuscripts have become the characteristics of Tiandi Xuanhuang, the purpose is to let the author create the best works in the best state. He has also gained the hearts of many authors, coupled with the increase in the royalty share of authors and other profit temptation means, Tiandi Xuanhuang has attracted a large number of outstanding literary workers.
In fact, there was a very popular novel in 07. That is Lan Xiaolong's novel version of "Soldier Assault", after the TV series version of "Soldier Assault" became popular, Li Wenhua launched this book for the first time, relying on the popularity and wide topicality of the TV series. and then through the promotion of heaven and earth Xuanhuang. The book has maintained a very high sales performance, reaching 250,000 sales by the end of the year, and Lan Xiaolong's royalty income from it is much higher than the selling price of the script.
In addition to the above, Tiandi Xuanhuang also has several works that are not so good in sales, such as "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty" discovered by He Mu, the first part only has 50,000 sales, which is not up or down, which leads to the delay in the publication plan of the second part. The funny romance novel "Lai Bao's Diary" and the campus horror novel "Art School Girl" were both excavated by Xuanzi booksellers. The sales volume is also worthy of more than 60,000. The three worst-selling books in the company all came from Xuanzi Book Scout, which made He Mu feel very shameless. In fact, there is no need, although this kind of sales is at the bottom of Tiandi Xuanhuang, but it is already very good in other book companies, after all, all of them are bestsellers and only exist in companies like Tiandi Xuanhuang.
In addition to the planning and distribution of books, the two new printing houses have also shown good results, printing nearly 2 million books, in addition to the company's books, there are other including "Chang'an Chaos" reprint and several other inputs, the two factories because of the shutdown for too long, has not yet recovered, I believe that the future will be more combative.
The above is basically all the achievements of Tiandi Xuanhuang in 07 years, the company plans to publish more than 3 million books, yards up to 70 million, pay taxes of more than 3 million, and make a profit of more than 10 million, and the profits of the printing house are temporarily used for the production and equipment renewal of the headquarters, which are not included.
For the publishing industry, which is not a high-profit and high-return industry, in just two years, from scratch, from small to large, Tiandi Xuanhuang has created an industry miracle, which has the credit of Li Wenhua's unique vision, and the reason why Chen Xuehe has managed well, but He Mu, the big boss, is almost completely abandoned.
He Mu sat dumbfounded and listened to Li Wenhua and his sister-in-law read out the thrilling numbers, and his heart was also churning. He had firmly believed that Li Wenhua could succeed, but he didn't expect his success to come so quickly and so fiercely, although there is still a big gap with Uncle Li's piracy empire, but with the current development speed of Tiandi Xuanhuang, I believe that it will not be long before Li Wenhua can become the top existence in the publishing industry.
Although He Mu has the most shares in the Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, he does not think that he can replace Li Wenhua's position, this company is more of Li Wenhua's hard work, this cause is also Li Wenhua's heartfelt love of the cause, improve the reading rate of Chinese people, let more people take reading as a habit, and get spiritual food from books, this is the goal that Li Wenhua strives for, not He Mu's.
What is He Mu's goal in life? He hasn't thought about it yet, this problem is too big, he only knows that he wants to make more good movies, so that more people can see and like it, so his career foothold must be the film and television industry, but it's a pity that he is just a small person in this industry who is constantly striving for progress, lucky to be favored by a big director, maybe a movie can bring him to the top, bad luck can only be like now, as it is now, as the protagonist, in the movie as a supporting role, and will continue to do it.
However, no matter whether you are lucky or unlucky, you can't get rid of the limitations of an actor, although an actor like He Mu can sometimes suggest to the director to modify the small details of the lines or script, but they are the tools for the director to express his work after all, as an actor, you have to listen to the director, you have to listen to the screenwriter, you have to listen to the producer, sometimes you want to listen to your own voice, but you can hardly do it, because you are just an actor.
Every time at this time, He Mu will have the idea of starting his own company, like Li Wenhua, to run the business he loves, without listening to anyone, he can release his imagination to his heart's content, and turn them into reality. But thinking about Xiao Fang and Datang's kindness to him, He Mu immediately cut off this idea, and after all, he was too young and immature, whether it was life experience or experience in the circle, it was not enough for him to realize his ideals, at this time He Mu could only comfort himself: Steady and steady, step by step.
Summing up the achievements of the past year,The next thing is to look forward to the future,08In addition to "Ming Dynasty" and "Tomb Robbery", the focus of the publication of Tiandi Xuanhuang is to add Ma Weidu's collection series, and the second part of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" that has been dragged for a year by 30 years will also make a grand debut, Li Wenhua is actually very interested in the sequel to "Durala", but the author Li Ke said that he would carve it carefully, and did not give him a quasi-letter.
In addition to these popular sequels and series of novels, the company's book scouts have also collected more than a dozen novels from several major literary websites and forums, involving fantasy, Xianxia, romance, military and other themes, these works will be published in the first quarter, such as today's Xuanhuang's publishing ability has been greatly enhanced, as long as there is publishing value, Li Wenhua dares to publish, and now the company has several fixed cooperative publishing houses in addition to cooperating with the Communication University Press, and the book number is not a problem.
In addition to the 08-year publishing plan, Li Wenhua also put forward several good suggestions for the diversified development of the company.
The first is to let their books go out of the shadows, before "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" sold Korean and Japanese copyrights, "Days Living with Flight Attendants" sold Korean and Chinese traditional Chinese copyrights, "Step by Step Shocking" sold traditional copyrights, although the specific sales in these regions are still unknown, and some have not even completed the translation work, but this is also an effective way to increase income, more importantly, it can increase the company's influence and industry status, the copyright center needs to follow up on this matter, don't just stare at the adaptation rights of film and television dramas.
In addition, Li Wenhua also intends to create a magazine about online literature, with the aim of expanding the influence and popularity of online literature, and by recommending excellent works and authors, so that more people can understand the new literary potential of online literature. Nowadays, there are many well-known online writers on the Internet, and they have a large number of fans, and sometimes Li Wenhua wonders if he can shape the god of online literature into a literary idol, so that their personal influence can increase and at the same time expand the sales of physical books.
Han Han Guo Jingming's example is in front of him, regardless of whether their writing is good or bad, even if it is plagiarism, it still has millions of sales, this is the power of literary idols, Guo Jingming is even using this power to launch new authors and new works.
Of course, the magazine is just an idea in Li Wenhua's mind, and how to turn the idea into reality still needs to work hard to formulate and improve the plan, which also involves cooperation with many literary websites, but Li Wenhua has made this matter the top priority next year.
"Anything else to say?" He Mu, who felt a little redundant, asked.
Chen Xuehe, "I think the company's administrative management is a little chaotic now, because the printing plant was acquired by the company, so the printing house is a subsidiary of Tiandi Xuanhuang, but from the perspective of the industrial chain, planning and distribution and book printing should be equal, we should put the status of the printing house up, so that the responsibilities and obligations can be clearer, and the company's management can be more efficient and orderly. After speaking, she held her big belly and handed He Muli Culture a planning book.
