Chapter 483: Just a "Porter"
……
The tide on the Internet is still the same, after the release of Jiangnan Yeyu's micro ~ blog, there are also some online writers who have issued their own micro ~ blog, and there are even people who do not deal with traditional writers on the micro ~ blog bluntly said "We are all monkeys, do you want to press us under the Five Elements Mountain" and the like. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, in the comments of these people, Shemi is more or less mentioned, and they make no secret of their admiration for Shemi, and admire Shemi for protesting to the society and the existing system with a novel on behalf of all online writers!
At this moment, the popularity of the name Shemi among online writers has increased many times.
Well, when Shu Hongming heard that he uploaded "Journey to the West" to win such a big popularity among online authors, he was also speechless for a while-
In other words, he really didn't think about it so much when he uploaded "Journey to the West", just because he was stupid Zi asked about "Journey to the West", and then he uploaded it.
As for relying on the book "Journey to the West" to protest to the "Heavenly Palace" or something, he really didn't have that idea, and he wasn't so lofty.
At the end of the day, he's just a literary porter.
……
The impact of "Journey to the West" is far greater than Shu Hongming imagined.
After the upload of "Journey to the West", in various stations, literary forums, post bars, micro ~ blogs and other places, there were more discussions about the monkey Sun Wukong, unconsciously increased.
When many people discuss "Journey to the West", they will intentionally or unintentionally say things like "everyone is a monkey", "life is full of rules", and so on. Some people follow the rules, while others fight against them. However, in the end, there is a "Monkey King" in everyone's heart!
In this process, more and more writers, celebrities, and big V have participated in the discussion, and when they praised "Journey to the West", more people noticed the mysterious "Shemi Da", paid attention to Shemi's other works, and even the grades of other books also rose.
Soon, it was the afternoon of September 27th.
Shu Mi's studio, inside Shu Hongming's office.
Shu Hongming and Li Tenglong sat face to face, looking at the sales report of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan" that Li Tenglong took over, and Li Tenglong was also excited: "Teacher Da Shu, now, the total sales of the fourteen volumes of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan" have reached 84 million copies, plus because of "Journey to the West" during this time, the sales of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shushan" have increased compared with the same period, and it is expected that by the Spring Festival, the total sales should exceed 100 million copies! ”
"Of course, if you are willing to reveal your true identity, our publishing house may be able to reach 100 million copies this month with a little hype......"
"In addition, the foreign language version of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" has been almost done by our publishing house, and it is expected that it will be sold in Europe and the United States after the Spring Festival. However, the sales outside the Daning Empire are not optimistic about the analysis of our publishing house...... Well, it's definitely a lot worse than the domestic sales of the Daning Empire......"
The sales of "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" are very good, but they are still inferior to the book sales rules, and the sales will be lower the further they go.
However, even so, "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan" is still amazing, making countless publishing companies drool, and it can be called one of the best-selling novels of the year.
"Hmm." Shu Hongming smiled slightly, ignored Li Tenglong's words of "reporting his true identity", and said with a smile, "By the way, President Li, about the publication of the novel "Those Years", you should be about the same, right?" ”
Two months ago, Shu Hongming handed over the publication of the novel "Those Years" to Tenglong Publishing House.
Li Tenglong said with a smile: "It's not almost, but it's already done." Mr. Dashu, you said that the official sales time of "Those Years" ......"
Shu Hongming put down the sales report in his hand and said, "President Li, one of the reasons why I decided to publish the novel "Those Years" is to cooperate with the movie release promotion of "Those Years". Therefore, it is best to put the "Those Years" novel on the shelves about 20 days in advance of the "Those Years" movie. ”
“…… In addition, in order to achieve the best publicity effect, it is best for your publishing house to advertise in advance one month before the sale; Our Shumi studio will also cooperate in this regard, preparing some easter eggs, such as buyers can draw a lottery to watch the premiere, get autographs, the MV of "Those Years" or something......"
Shu Hongming said about his plan, and Li Tenglong nodded again and again: "Our publishing house will cooperate." By the way, Mr. Dashu, do you have any plans to publish your three novels, "Romance of the Gods", "Buddha is the Way", and "Journey to the West"? ”
The businessman pursued profits, and after making a lot of money with "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan", Li Tenglong naturally wanted to take the publication of the three books "Romance of the Gods", "Buddha is the Way", and "Journey to the West" - this is all money!
Especially "Journey to the West", the influence of this god and demon novel in all walks of life, especially in the literary circle, has become more and more important, and it has recently rushed to the ninth place on the Weibo ~ blog topic list, you can imagine how terrifying its potential is......
Shu Hongming smiled slightly: "I can also hand over the publication of these three books to your publishing house, but ......"
"In terms of royalties, our publishing house will give a cut!" Li Tenglong gritted his teeth and said, "The royalties of these three books, if you raise ten percent and thirty percent for a single book, what do you think?" ”
Thirty percent royalties, which is really top-notch in the publishing industry, could not be higher.
Shu Hongming thought for a while, and then said, "Yes." However, I also want 15 percent of the shares of your publishing house. ”
"Shares? I'm afraid this ......" Li Tenglong hesitated a little.
Shu Hongming raised his hand and looked at his watch: "There is no rush for the publication of these three books for the time being. President Li can go back and consider my conditions. ”
The two chatted a few more words, Li Tenglong stood up and said goodbye to leave, and Shu Hongming also got up and walked towards the recording studio.
During this time, Shu Hongming was busy with the filming of "The Hangover" and the promotion of "Old Boy" every day, and he also had to be the accompaniment of the new song "Star Wish" with the theme of DK music "Wish".
The preliminary preparations for the movie "The Hangover" have all been prepared, and filming is scheduled to start on October 5, when all the crew will fly to the magic capital for filming; And the box office of "Old Boy" also reached 330 million, but the box office climax has passed, and now it is beginning to decline.
Speaking of "The Hangover", Xiaomi also wanted to make a cameo in the movie, Shu Hongming thought about it, and also set a role for Xiaomi, so he should play.
As for the accompaniment of "Star Wish", Shu Hongming has also completed it, and now plans to record it in response to Fang Xian's challenge-
Speaking of which, the theme of "Wishes" in September is suddenly dumb for the old-timers, and there are a lot of newcomers' works, but there are very few excellent works. Now the best response is Fang Xian's work "May You Accompany You".
Walking quickly to the recording studio, Shu Hongming said hello to the people in the recording studio, and then saw Rice walking out of the soundproof room, wearing a pair of headphones on his ear, and asked with a smile: "President Li is gone?" ”
"Gone."
"Then let's record it quickly! I also asked Jiajia and them to go shopping together in the evening~ Strive to record it in the afternoon. Rice stretched out his hand and put his arm around Shu Hongming's arm, and dragged him into the soundproof room.
This song is a chorus between her and Da Shu~ (To be continued.) )
