Chapter 151: The subscription is hot
It was an ordinary and unusual morning, the time was already the end of September, the autumn was deep, the weather was cool, and rows of geese swept through the sky, sometimes arranged in human characters, sometimes arranged in large characters, playing freely and naturally. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]
The Great Demon Capital.
Harvest Editorial Department.
Editor Cheng sat in his seat, comfortably drank tea, and sighed. Recently, he has been really busy, and to prepare the manuscript of the special issue of the novel, he needs to proofread word by word, and make appropriate compression and modification, without affecting the overall readability.
In addition to the special issue of the novel, the manuscript of the fifth issue of the normal harvest must also be edited and proofread.
It's a huge undertaking.
Now, after finally finishing the work, the special issue of the novel has been sent to the publishing house, and the publishing house has quickly arranged for printing. The printing house had suspended other work a few days ago to make way for the special issue of the novel. It is known that the long-form special number has now been distributed to bookstores at all levels across the country through the distribution channel of Xinhua Bookstore
Editor Cheng knows some information, because this special issue of the autumn and winter volume is more fully publicized in the early stage, the reader response is strong, and the bookstore is also enthusiastic about subscriptions.
Now it seems that success is a sure thing.
Editor Cheng was sitting at his desk in a lazy daze and reverie, and Editor-in-Chief Xiao walked out of the office, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone come here, go to the conference room, and have a small meeting." β
Editor-in-chief Xiao was full of joy, his expression was relaxed, and his mood was very good at a glance.
The editors cheered up from their seats and walked to the conference room. An editor asked Editor-in-Chief Xiao: "Editor-in-chief, isn't there anything happy?" β
"I'll announce it when I get to the conference room!" Editor-in-Chief Xiao waved his hand and said.
Everyone soon sat in the conference room, and Editor-in-Chief Xiao sat in the main seat, glanced at the people in the conference room with a spring breeze on his face, cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
"Now, comrades, let's have a small meeting."
The editors all looked at Editor-in-Chief Xiao with a look of deafness.
"That's right, as you all know, we launched the 'Novel Issue' this month. Now that all the subscription results have come out, I would like to announce that the final subscription number for this issue is 338,300 copies! Editor-in-Chief Xiao finished announcing and paused.
That means. There should be applause here.
However, she waited for a while, and the editors sitting around the table were all stunned, and none of them responded to the situation.
Everyone was shocked.
More than 330,000 orders! This is more than 100,000 copies more than the current circulation of the main magazine.
The current circulation of the main journal is only 1780,000 copies per month, right?
But how many years has the magazine been in business, and how much influence does it have in society? Everybody understands that.
We all know that the subscription situation of this "novel special issue" is good. But no one expected that there would be such a good subscription effect. You must know that this time it is through the channel of bookstores, mainly distributed by Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, and some of them are through the channel of harvesting their own traditions.
Subscribe by the post office?
That's too late, right?
The amount of post office subscription is also very trivial, and it can't gather such a large amount of subscription in a short period of time!
The order quantity of more than 330,000 yuan, the price is 8 yuan, and the yard is more than 2 million! This is very amazing, much higher than the monthly output value of a small and medium-sized factory at this time.
This is the rhythm of an instant hit!
"Ahemβ"
Unable to hear the reaction of his editors, Editor-in-Chief Xiao had to cough a little to remind him. She was also very proud. When she received this requisition, she was also shocked
The first reaction was: this novel is about to be completely launched, which is really good.
Hearing the coughing of the editor-in-chief, the editors came to their senses, and everyone cheered, the younger ones even jumped up, and the older ones were also elated, raising their arms high.
The editorial office has raised another cash cow!
When the novel issue became popular, the income of the editorial department increased significantly, and the bonuses and benefits of the editors naturally rose.
That's a great thing!
Editor-in-Chief Xiao nodded with satisfaction. That's a normal reaction! She continued: "Now, our long-form special issue has been printed, and the magazine has been sent to bookstores at all levels through logistics, and our sample books will be delivered immediately. Everyone has worked hard during this time, come! Let's applaud ourselves and cheer it on! β
The conference room burst into applause.
"It's a pity that this time I made a stupid move, and I actually cooperated with the literary and art club and shared a large part of the profits to the other party in vain. What a regret! Editor-in-Chief Xiao said with annoyance.
It's not a big deal, because the art club advances funds and distributes, and according to the agreement, more than half of the profits will be shared.
Editor Cheng said at this time: "Editor-in-chief, it's no wonder you, when preparing this special issue, we didn't expect it to become popular all of a sudden!" Our editorial department is short of funds and can't afford the risk of failure to publish a long-form special number, and it is also correct to cooperate with the Art Society, at least to avoid the risk. β
This is washing the floor for the leader.
Editor-in-Chief Xiao nodded: "That's true, in the final analysis, I still have to thank Xiao Fei!" He gave us a good suggestion, the young man is good, and his mind is quite flexible. β
"Yes, this long-form special account can have such good results, in fact, it has a lot to do with him! If it weren't for the news about him, which attracted widespread attention from domestic public opinion and was so hyped in the media, the subscription effect would not have been so good. The editor nodded frequently.
"The most rare thing is that Xiao Fei's works can be written so maturely and magnificently at such a young age."
"Who says it's not, the vast majority of old writers who have written for decades can't reach the level of his work, and mortals can't compare with geniuses!"
"It's been a long time since we've launched a newcomer, and this time it's a heavyweight newcomer, which is really exciting!"
"I really can't watch so many old faces jumping around on the page anymore."
"I've been thinking about it, our country is so big, and now the domestic literary world is backwater, and I don't know how many young Junyan have been buried!"
"It's time to step up efforts to bring out talented newcomers."
The editors were talking there.
After the meeting, Editor Cheng was called into the office by Editor-in-Chief Xiao. Xiao Fei was discovered by Editor Cheng, and now that he has made achievements, Editor-in-Chief Xiao naturally wants to encourage him.
"Teacher Cheng, the Literature and Art Publishing House has taken a fancy to Xiao Fei's long book, they want to take it over and publish a single book, you will write a letter to Xiao Fei later, ask him what he thinks, if you want, the comrades of the Literature and Art Club want to find a time to go over in person and talk to Xiao Fei." After some encouragement, Editor-in-Chief Xiao said.
"Okay, editor-in-chief, no problem."
When Editor Cheng came out of the editor-in-chief's room, he saw that the people from the printing house had already sent over the sample of the long special issue, which looked like hundreds of copies.
Editor Cheng thought to himself, just take advantage of the letter to send the sample issue directly to Xiao Fei.
He wrote a letter to Xiao Fei and said two things, one was about whether he agreed to publish "Fish Walking on Land" at Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House; The other is how to pay Xiao Fei's manuscript fee, Xiao Fei's long book has more than 250,000 words after compression, and the manuscript fee is 80 yuan per thousand words, according to this calculation, the manuscript fee is more than 20,000 yuan.
After writing the letter, he handed it to his colleague in charge of sending and receiving the ten copies and sent it out. (To be continued.) )xh118
