Chapter Seventy-Five: Press Conference
A few days later, major media outlets in the Yuqing area received a letter of invitation. In this invitation letter, Wen Xun's "assistant" Lan Yang claimed to hold a press conference, a press conference that claimed to react to the recent "Wen Xun's suspected plagiarism incident".
After the news was learned by the major media, they were about to open champagne to celebrate! Because a few days ago, Wen Xun and Lan Yang both refused to be interviewed, and they kept claiming that they had "no comment", and even made people wonder if Wen Xun really plagiarized, but Wen Xun agreed to develop the conference, what is this not a feast!
When these media arrived at the hotel conference room rented by Wen Xun and Lan Yang, they were surprised to find that this medium-sized conference room was basically full! Yes, Wen Xun was a popular fried chicken among middle school students at this stage recently, and he was about to be paid attention to by the whole people, and of course there were more reporters!
In addition, I have to say that the rented conference room is a little smaller. For Wen Xun, almost all of his money was given by Lan Yang and Lu Yuqing, and he was definitely unwilling to spend the money on things like renting a venue for the press conference......
When the time for the press conference came, I saw Lan Yang, who was in a suit and leather shoes, come to the stage. When he stood on the stage, countless flashing lights suddenly flashed, making Lan Yang's eyes almost unable to see anything.
"Hello everyone, friends from the media......" Lan Yang tried to open his eyes and greeted those flashes and made an opening remark, and after the opening remarks, it was the turn of the official content. Wen Xun resolutely protested against the remarks about Wen Xun's suspected plagiarism that broke the news in a newspaper in the previous stage, and we have collected the information and will send the lawyer's letter to the media today. If the media can't give a credible source of evidence, then we'll see them in France! ”
As soon as Lan Yang's words came out, those reporters became even more crazy. Two days ago, Bi Qikai just tore his face and scolded Bai Hua, and now Wen Xun is going to sue the newspaper? Now the combat effectiveness of the new generation of young people is about to explode!
So one reporter after another frantically converted Lan Yang's words into text, and desperately called back to the agency to ask for a large page. By the next day, the news of this conference was all over the country's media!
At this time, in the editorial office of a certain "Cangcheng Evening News" in the north, the editor-in-chief Qi Yanzhi was pointing at a reporter's nose and scolding. "Show me! At the beginning, you told me that Wen Xun and their side were young, and after seeing this kind of news, they would only explain and not sue us, but now you tell me what to do? Our "Cangcheng Evening News" is a career establishment, not a street tabloid, we want to talk about influence! ”
At this time, the reporter named Liu Yang lowered his head and bent over, and explained to Qi Yanzhi pitifully: "That Bai Hua just asked me to help say two words, and I didn't expect it to be like this......
"Do you think, do you want to? Have you thought about when it will be my turn? This time, you are ready to be responsible to the end, if we lose the lawsuit, you ......" Qi Yanzhi glared at Liu Yang at this time and said.
At the same time, Wen Xun was very kind and happy at home, waiting for Lan Yang to tell him the statistics in the publishing house. Now that a week has passed, Wen Xun very much wants to know what his results are.
Wen Xun didn't wait long before he heard an eager knock on the door. When Wen Xun's sister opened the door, she saw a figure break into the house in a hurry, and then said to Wen Xun eagerly: "150,000 copies a week!" Wen Xun, we have 150,000 copies a week! It's no problem with 200,000 copies, and it's no problem to be on the charts this year! ”
Of course, the person who said this was Lan Yang, and Lan Yang suppressed too much pressure for Wen Xun and his book. He borrowed money from a friend and took out the book from home to continue to run Wen Xun, which no one was optimistic about, and even his family didn't understand it. His parents even said they wanted to cut ties with him......
When everyone didn't believe Lan Yang, Lan Yang was still believing in his own judgment, still believing in Wen Xun, and even in the end, he could be said to be "humiliated" and gave Wen Xun a 50% share!
And now, it's all worth it, yes, it's worth it! Now as soon as this result comes out, he Lan Yang is equivalent to proving his vision to everyone, proving his determination, and proving that he is not wrong to choose Wen Xun!
"200,000 copies? Don't make trouble, 200,000 copies are just on the road, the two of us, the goal, is the sea of stars......" Wen Xun, who was in a very good mood, was actually in the mood to joke about Lan Yang at this time.
"Haha...... Xingchen Dahai ......" Lan Yang was also happy when he heard Wen Xun's words, but before he could laugh a few times, the phone in his arms rang again. "Hello? Yes, I'm ...... Good...... Good...... Well, ok...... Goodbye......"
After answering the phone like this, Lan Yang looked at Wen Xun with a smile on his face and asked, "Guess what's going on?" Ha, the editor-in-chief of the "Cangcheng Evening News" just called, saying that he was going to publish an apology statement just now, hoping that this time he could turn the conflict into a jade silk......"
After Lan Yang said this, Wen Xun didn't react, and heard Wen Xun's parents ask excitedly: "Then in this way, there is no plagiarism problem in my family's Xun Lingzi?" Ah! I'll just say, how can our Wenxun copy other people's things! ”
Looking at his parents' reactions, Wen Xun smiled slightly and didn't speak. He really likes this kind of happy family scene, but he began to think about whether he would have to meet Lan Yang at home in the future, otherwise it would not feel very good to let his parents know everything every time, and always make the two old people worried......
Wen Xun, who was thinking about whether to add a mobile phone to himself, looked up and asked Lan Yangdao: "Editor Lan, according to 150,000 copies, how much money can we make now?" ”
"This, according to the algorithm in the industry, is like this, the total price is the yard, that is, the number of dollars sold multiplied by the unit price. The unit price of our book is 10 yuan, and now we have sold 150,000 copies, and the yard is 1.5 million ......yuan," Lan Yang said with his fingers crossed at this time and introduced it to Wen Xun's family.
"One and a half million!" Wen Xun's parents were completely shocked when they heard this number at this time! They never thought that publishing a book could be linked to the number of millions!
"Hehe, uncle, this is just a yard of ocean, not something we earned. The printing cost in the yard is about 20%, which is the result of my personal grasp, and the average printing cost of our publishing house used to be 25%. The next 6% or so is considered the management fee for the book number and name handed over to the publisher. After printing, it will be given to Xinhua Bookstore and other channels, and it will be given according to a six-fold discount...... Removing some other unexpected expenses, I have to calculate that Wen Xun and I can get a total of 30% of the yards for this book, 150,000 is 450,000, and after half of it, it will be 250,000 yuan for one person, and I have advanced 100,000 yuan for Wen Xun here, and your family can still get 150,000 ......" Lan Yang, who is familiar with the account book, said.
According to this calculation, Wen Xun, who may only get 7%-8% royalties, is equivalent to getting 15% royalties! That's better than all the well-known authors who were on last year's best-selling list!
