Chapter 132: Bustling and Profitable
The cover of "The Phantom of the Opera" was published on the publisher's website, and everyone who saw it was shocked, that is, shocked by Li Juli's beauty, and firmly grasped by the oppressive force brought by that strange mask.
When people first look at the cover, they look at Li Juli without exception, and then their minds are full of the snow-white mask.
As soon as the renderings came out, Zheng Chengxian sent them to the TAR people as soon as possible, and after reading them, everyone was shocked and speechless for a long time.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed that the mask was more scene-stealing, which made Li Juli frustrated, but she didn't expect to be robbed of the limelight by a mask, and hated Zheng Chengxian who designed this cover.
Thanks to this ingenious and shocking cover, the already highly anticipated "Phantom of the Opera" has garnered unprecedented attention before it is released, and even overseas fans such as Jung Sung-hyun are eagerly awaiting the release of the new book, and many people are asking for help from a Korean to buy it as soon as possible and mail it to themselves.
The popularity of "The Phantom of the Opera" has discouraged all Korean authors and avoided its release date.
"The Phantom of the Opera", which has been in the limelight for a while, has finally been released in anticipation, and despite Park Hyun-ki's maximum preparations, he still underestimated the purchasing power of the people.
Bookstores everywhere can see an endless stream of customers coming and going with satisfaction, those in their 30s and above are fine, buying one by one, many young people are buying several copies at a time, and even one young man threatens to cover all as soon as he enters, and then everyone is dissatisfied before giving up.
It's not that these young people love literature, but that a large number of overseas book lovers can't afford to buy it and leave messages on the Internet to buy it at a high price. That's why there is such a scene, young people buy it at a low price and put it on eBay and sell it several times the price.
The fact that all the places were sold out in just three days, and the fact that 800,000 books were only enough for three days made Park Hyun-ki feel like a dream.
"What do you think we should do now, President? Dealers in Seoul alone have come to scold them many times, and some people from other places are waiting at the door," Li Shunshi reported with a sweaty face.
This sweat was made by negotiating with those foreign dealers just now, and he was surrounded by the crowd, and he was all 'full of big men', and he knew for the first time that these people who claimed to be 'cultural industry communicators' raised their fists without any ambiguity, and they all punched to the flesh.
"How's the printing house getting in touch?" Park Hyun-gi quickly came back to his senses after the initial shock.
"Anyone who can be contacted has already been contacted. Either you can't be busy, or you just don't answer! ”
Park Xianji knocked on the table to think about countermeasures, and after a while, he said: "Inform the printing factory to stop our other business and switch to this order, and then you can go to other printing factories to contact to see if you can divide a few production lines and the price is high, it doesn't matter." Then let people start to contact foreign publishers to subcontract part of the task out! ”
Park Hyun-ki knows that this pressure is mainly due to the pressure brought by overseas markets. After all, compared to book lovers all over the world, South Korea's productivity is far from enough.
"President, what if we all stop our magazines for the next week?" Li Shunshi was a little dumbfounded, the consequences of this kind of salary draw from the bottom of the kettle are unpredictable.
"Don't worry about the next week, if the things in front of you are not resolved, how much better do you think we can have next week?" Park Hyun-gi waved his hand irritably and said categorically: "Let the website explain it, try to be as tactful as possible, and don't have strong content!" ”
Li Shunshi couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the big men outside. The dealer who was scrambling for the supply just now accidentally injured himself when he shook his fist, and now his cheeks still hurt!
"I'll do it!" Thinking about it, there is really no good way, nodding and going out!
Park Xianji looked at the crowd downstairs through the window and smiled bitterly: "Writer Zheng, you killed me!" ”
People have a herd mentality, when everyone blindly buys a certain commodity, it will naturally drive those irrelevant people to rush to buy, no one has thought about what to use these things, whether it is useful! It's all about grabbing it first. In this kind of situation, not to mention the novels of famous writers, even a piece of **** will be snatched up!
Now this "Phantom of the Opera" is honored to take on such a role. When more and more people started buying, many people who didn't like to read novels also began to care.
The news that Korean locals can't buy it overseas has caused a sense of urgency for everyone, and the voice of online buying is getting louder and louder, and some people who are good at speculation have begun to raise prices. Even though I know it's just a false boom from people's impulse spending, the price is still eye-catching.
Those who raise the price are happy, those who are lifted are happy to buy the books they want, and one is willing to fight and the other is happy.
On the other side, in the office of PT Company, Jung Sung-hyun looked at the website of the publishing house with tears and laughter. The eye-catching lines on it are particularly eye-catching, and the content says that because of some irresistible factors, the next issue of the weekly will be postponed, and the specific factors are not said. But a discerning person can see that this is a publishing house that is too busy!
This lack of announcement, which made his peers envious and jealous, annoyed Jung Sung-hyun.
He had no idea that the book would be such a bestseller, and now not only the dealers could not get it, but even he, the author, could not get it. The only thing he has in his hand is the hardcover version that Park Hyun-ki specially prepared for him when he was in the first edition.
When a writer publishes a new book, he will always take out a part of it, sign the name and give it to relatives and friends to maintain friendship. The person who accepts it doesn't care about your book, it's mainly about reading the mind.
Now it's good, Guangquan Baolan called and asked for more than 10 copies, and it was clearly said that Quan's father wanted it. In order to show off in front of those old friends.
The old man's face must be given no matter what, but after giving it, he will not have much left. There are so many friends in the circle to give, where does this come from?
In addition, other publishers kept calling to meet with each other, and the purpose was self-evident. I thought of this too, but I can't stand it much!
There are also many young people with literary dreams who have found the company to seek advice, which has already affected the operation of the company. Shin Seok-hwan has complained about this many times, saying that this place is about to become a school, not an entertainment agency.
Jung Sung-hyun sat in his office and sighed, he was now in pain and happy.
When he was distressed, Lee Jae-wook pushed the door and came in: "Sung Hyun, the Korean Writers Association called and wanted you to go"
"Writer's? They're really going to pick the time," Jung Sung-hyun muttered angrily.
There is a reason for his resentment.
Although Jung Sung-hyun has become internationally famous, the Korean Writers Association has never recognized his identity, and the open-minded Jung Sung-hyun has some complaints, and he can't help but feel regretful and unhappy when he is excluded from his peers.
And now, because of the book's popularity, Jung Sung-hyun's fame has risen rapidly, and it has reached unprecedented heights in South Korea. If the news of his joining the Writers' Association comes out at this time, it will invisibly greatly increase the reputation and attention of the Writers' Association.
That's why Jung Sung-hyun said they would pick the time.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, which has been the case since ancient times. (To be continued.) )
