The latest chapter of "Hong Kong Entertainment"...

This is also why Jin Yong is extremely optimistic about this novel after seeing "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", so he will agree to Chen Shaoyi's quid pro quo, because Jin Yong sees the potential of this "Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, judging from the sales results on the first day of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Jin Yong obviously still underestimated "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

No, it should be underestimating the influence of Chen Shaoyi, Jin Yong believes that with his vision, the spiritual sensitivity of the master of martial arts novels and many years of experience in book publishing, the sales positioning of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" should still be the same, at least not too far away.

But because the author of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is Chen Shaoyi, a man who has repeatedly created miracles in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and a frequent topic of conversation among the public, his influence on the entire Hong Kong is amazing.

Although Chen Shaoyi is indeed a pink newcomer in the field of martial arts novels, the aperture on his head is too shiny. Not to mention anything else, just with the name of his new generation of talents, it is easy to break through in the publishing industry. For example, the veteran genius Huang Sticky is an example, if Huang Sticky also publishes a novel, not to mention whether it is well written, there are definitely a lot of people who support the scene, and if the story is written more excitingly, the sales volume will definitely be very considerable.

Moreover, Chen Shaoyi's own talent in writing is already well-known to the world, and his name as a screenwriter is worthy of the name, and many works are the foundation. Whether it is the "Huo Yuanjia" series written for Li's shooting, or the "Earth Kindness" series, they are all talked about; In the comedy trilogy "Modern Bodyguard", "Nightclub" and "Home Alone" in the movie, its plot and lines are still memorable, and I can't help but laugh out loud every time I think of it, and many lines have become popular words on the market and integrated into life.

Not only that, but a series of recent actions of Phoenix TV have the shadow of its president Chen Shaoyi in it. In particular, "Millionaire" has become the most popular TV program in Hong Kong, with the widest audience and the highest citizen participation. Moreover, Chen Shaoyi and Jin Yong exchanged copyrights, and the matter of 8 million investment in the filming of "Dragon Babu" was also in an uproar and everyone knew about it.

is such a talented man with outstanding writing ability, well-known and widespread, anyone will be curious about this "Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" written by him, and they can't help but read it, and then they are attracted by the story content in the book, and finally unconsciously become a fan of the Tang Dynasty. Because of this, it is not surprising that the sales of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" are hot.

The sales volume of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" reached more than 10,000 copies on the first day, and if roughly calculated, the final sales volume should not be less than 200,000. The total number of words in "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is more than 5 million words, and according to the number of words in each book between 250,000 and 300,000, a "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" can publish nearly 20 copies (actually 63 volumes, 21 volumes), so the total sales volume of "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is about 4 million copies. After deducting all the costs of printing, taxes and transportation costs, based on the net income of the publishing house of 5 Hong Kong dollars per book, then the book "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" will earn the publishing house 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

The newspaper industry is not comparable to a television station, take "Ming Pao", the largest newspaper in Hong Kong, as an example, the current annual operating net profit is between 20 million, and a "Legend of the Tang Dynasty Double Dragon" can earn the operating profit of "Ming Pao" for a year, which is really terrifying. Moreover, this is still Hong Kong, if the scope is expanded to the entire Chinese-speaking circle, the profits will not be even more terrible. Of course, it is necessary to cooperate with publishers in other regions, and the benefits may need to be diluted, but it is better to make small profits but sell quickly, and the total profits are not lower than those in Hong Kong.

Jin Yong's brain is very useful, and he calculated the profit of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in great detail, and the more he thought about it, the more heartwarming he became. Although Jin Yong has some of the characters of ancient literati, and the copper smell of businessmen on his body is not very strong, he still can't be indifferent to fame and fortune for such a high profit.

Jin Yong re-sat down and muttered, "It seems that our "Ming Pao" has really picked up a treasure this time. ”

When Shen Baoxin heard this, he smiled cheerfully: "Ah Yong, what you said is so right, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is definitely the best martial arts work in recent years, according to the sales volume of this novel on the first day, there are infinite possibilities in the future, and our "Ming Pao" has obtained the paper publishing rights of this novel, and it will definitely go to the next level because of this novel." You did the right thing about the deal with Chen Shaoyi this time. ”

"Fortunately, I didn't promise Chen Shaoyi the idea of not paying for the manuscript that day, otherwise I would be very ashamed to ask for such a big benefit from the other party for nothing." Jin Yong thought of the scene that day and said with a wry smile.

In fact, Chen Shaoyi also made a mistake that day, he regarded the price of the film and television rights of Jin Yong's novels too high, according to the calculation of later generations, it is possible to sell the film and television rights of all Jin Yong's novels to hundreds of millions, or even billions. In this era, the price of Jin Yong's novel film and television rights cannot be so high, and fortunately, Jin Yong didn't want to take advantage of Chen Shaoyi too much that day, otherwise Chen Shaoyi would really lose a lot of benefits in vain.

Of course, even then, Chen Shaoyi did not lose money, and he got the film and television rights of all Jin Yong's novels. Not to mention anything else, like in his previous life, he would remake all of them every ten years or so, how much benefit would that bring him! And only he can shoot, everyone else can only watch it, and his eyes are so greedy that he drools, wow, what a cool thing.

Shen Baoxin laughed and said: "We are doing publishing, we can ask for copyright, but we can't afford not to give the manuscript fee, otherwise which writer will dare to cooperate with us in the future, you are doing the right thing." But Ah Yong, you are also very good, and Chen Shaoyi is firmly trapped in the back, next time if he still writes a novel, he has to let us publish "Ming Pao". ”

Jin Yong shook his head and said with a smile: "Last time, Chen Shaoyi wrote this "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" because he asked me for the film and television rights of my novel, otherwise it would be almost impossible to write such a long novel with his current status. ”

Shen Baoxin tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, and muttered: "That's not necessarily, Chen Shaoyi always does things unexpectedly, even if he writes another novel, it's not impossible." ”

"I hope so." Jin Yong muttered, "We only printed 50,000 copies of the first edition, and judging from the current situation, it may not be able to support it in a week, and we should let the publishing house print the second edition as soon as possible." ”

Shen Baoxin replied: "Well, I know, I'll go and inform the publishing house later, at least another 100,000 copies will have to be printed." You don't know, it's only been a day, and many major bookstores in Hong Kong are urging goods, and it seems that the little guys in the publishing house need to work overtime. ”

Jin Yong nodded and said, "You deal with this matter, I have to give Chen Shaoyi a notice." (To be continued.)
