"Is every cheatbook a story? So what kind of story is "The Palm of the Gods"? The reader asks out loud.

Zhang Tan said with a smile: "It is a story of justice defeating evil, the poor boy got the "Palm of the Gods", eradicated the evil gangs, and protected the villagers. ”

"What about "Jiuyang Divine Skill", is it the same as "Nine Yin True Scripture"?"

"It's not a couple, but it's related, so please pay more attention to my novels." Zhang Tan revealed, "I am an author who likes to write long stories, whether it is the Four Famous Catchers or the current Condor Shooting, it is a creation with a very long story and a grand background." I have written two books of "The Four Famous Catches", but in fact, they only explain a general background. "Shooting the Condor" is 1.2 million words, telling a story, and there are more exciting stories to follow. ”

As for what the more exciting story is, Zhang Tan laughed and said nothing, to maintain a little mystery.

Bragging, interacting, and resting, sign autographs. By 4 p.m., it was time for the book signing session to end. But there were still one or two hundred people, who didn't wait for Zhang Tan's signature, and didn't want to leave just like that, they were all begging for a longer extension and signing their bookmarks.

The first time he held a book signing meeting, Zhang Tan couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to nod his head and continue to sign his head.

At half past four, the remaining 100 people were finally signed. In the farewell of the readers, they left the book signing site.

Wait a minute, I want to have dinner with several leaders of Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House, this is the proper meaning of the question, and I can't escape. Fortunately, it was a small dinner, there were not many people, the atmosphere was good, and there was not much forced drinking. At the time of eating, there happened to be a TV in the box, and I was able to receive the TV station.

Li Yan turned on the TV early, locked in Heqi TV, and when the meal reached eight o'clock, "Evening News" began.

After the trivial news passed, I finally saw the report about Zhang Tan.

"This afternoon, Tan Zhang, a famous best-selling author and martial arts novel in our city, held a book signing meeting in Yuanyi Times Square, and the scene was very popular. Zhang Tan is a native of Gangji Town, Fengxian County, my mayor, born in 1986, and is in his second year of high school this year, and is known as a representative of post-80s writers. Let's take a look at the report sent back by the reporter from the scene. ”

In the TV screen, it was very lively, because the queue for autographs was too long. There are also many onlookers, joining in the fun.

After the narration ended, the female reporter entered the camera and began to interview Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan didn't look at the camera, his eyes should be looking at the reporter, after all, he doesn't often appear on TV, so he doesn't know how to look at the camera at this time. Zhang Tan's answer was not distinctive, so it was just a skimming, followed by an interview with the reader, all kinds of praise, all kinds of exaggeration, all kinds of excitement, all kinds of excitement.

All in all, the effect of highlighting Zhang Tan on the side is very good.

"Xiao Zhang, is it very photogenic?" A director surnamed Zhao pointed to the TV with a smile.

On TV, Zhang Tan is indeed not bad, at least he has the elegant temperament of a white-faced scholar, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Zhang Tan is not ugly, his skin is quite white, and his clothes are famous brands, so his temperament is naturally not bad.

"Average." Zhang Tan said modestly.

"Haha, looking at it this way, it's a bit like a star."

After just a few jokes, the news was finished, and it seemed that the female reporter didn't make any big news at all, just the usual routine report.

Everyone didn't stay on the topic of news reports for too long, after all, it was originally a TV station contacted by Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House, which was not new.

At the dinner table, we mainly talked about the publication and distribution of "Shooting the Condor".

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has to be published in a total of eight volumes, in order to compete with piracy, the price is not high, and many places are still sold at discounts, so the corresponding real foreign will be a little less. At present, the sales of the first five volumes add up, there are four million copies, and the royalties distributed to Zhang Tan's pocket are more than two or three million.

It can be said that the money earned from this book can make Zhang Tan squeeze into the top ten in the annual writer's royalty.

This money-making speed is already the first among post-80s writers, beating Han Jingming, who was blown into the sky, and this year's new book "Flying Like a Sao New Year", won the first place in the annual national best-selling list. However, "Shooting the Condor" is to calculate the sales of five volumes combined, and "Flying Like a Sao Nian" is just a thin book.

From this point of view, the audience of youth literature among young people is much larger than that of martial arts novels.

However, martial arts culture is very strong in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia and other places, and Zhang Tan is a big harvest year this year. The traditional Chinese version of the four famous catchers and eagle archery is also very popular in the Chinese circle in Southeast Asia. For example, contemporary martial arts masters such as Zhang Feifei and Li Tiejian, their traditional version sales are only about 200,000 to 300,000 copies per volume.

Zhang Tan's "The Four Famous Hunters of Beijing" has sold 180,000 copies of a single volume, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has sold 350,000 copies of a single volume.

There is a return to the peak of martial arts in the sixties and seventies.

……

It's New Year's Day, all kinds of data have begun to be counted, and book sales are no exception.

Li Yan, an assistant, was competent and competent, and sorted out the data released by the major media early and handed it over to Zhang Tan.

On the mainland side, on the bestseller list of literature and art, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" naturally ranks first, and "Like a Sao Nian" is second. But when it comes to weekly book sales, "Shooting the Condor" and "Sao Nian" are not on the list, but a foreigner's "Who Moved My Cheese", which has been more than 100 weeks and topped the bestseller lists of major media.

Zhang Tan has heard of this book, but he has not read it, and he doesn't know what the charm is, which has caused a global shock.

And Zhang Tan's other book "The Four Famous Catchers of Jingshi" also ranked sixth on the bestseller list of literature and art with the sales of more than 900,000 copies of the three volumes.

In the Taiwan area, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" won the annual martial arts novel sales champion, and in the Xiangxiang area, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also won the annual martial arts novel sales champion. Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, three countries with a large number of Chinese, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" also squeezed into the best-selling book list.

By the end of the year, the book payment was settled, and Li Yan gave Zhang Tan an assessment, and there was at least four million royalty income.

It was much higher than Zhang Tan expected.

The main reason is that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is too popular, catching up with the last glorious moment of martial arts, and the sum of simplified and traditional Chinese has sold a single volume of more than one million super numbers, and it is the first martial arts novelist in recent times. It took Jin Yong more than two years to write such a book, and Zhang Tan made it out in half a year, which greatly shortened the creative cycle.

The publication of one book a month has greatly developed the enthusiasm of readers, and it is enjoyable to read it, so it is natural to buy more.

The book was selling well, Zhang Tanxi couldn't help it, and felt that the quality of life could be improved again: "Sister Li, help urge the book payment, I want to get the money as soon as possible, and the most annoying thing is to owe me money." ”

"No problem, I will communicate with several publishing houses, now that your novel is very popular, the publishing house still wants to continue to cooperate with you, and there should be no arrears in the payment of the book."

"That's good."

Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, Zhang Tan held the back of his head with both hands, pillowed on the back of the chair, and hummed a small tune vaguely in his mouth: "I make money, I make money, I don't know how to spend it, I have Nokia in my left hand, Motorola in my right hand......"
