Chapter 240: The Great Ups and Downs

There are many publishing houses that distribute national newspapers and periodicals in China, but there are only a few golden signboards, and these national gold-lettered signboard publishing houses are all controlled by the four major film and television companies in China.

The lowest of these gold-lettered publishing houses are first-class masters in China, such as the six masters of Wenmo, and the four talents with a slightly higher status than the six masters of Wenmo.

All articles that are commissioned by the publishing house with golden signboards, basically the four major films and television will tailor the IP for them, and then expand the appropriate film and television songs and games according to the type, as well as peripheral products, all of which are the big IPs of the year.

The publishing house under the golden signboard is known as a first-class publishing house, a super-first-class publishing house, such as "Ming and Qing Guest" and "Huaxiu...... Although these publishing houses do not have four major film and television holdings, they all have large consortia behind them, and the famous artists invited are all famous masters in China.

And these publishing houses have been running in China for many years, cultivating batches of fans, it can be said that as long as you write well, and then be asked by these publishing houses, then what awaits you is a double harvest of fame and fortune.

In addition to these publishing houses that have been in operation for a long time, the rest are second-rate and third-rate publishing houses.

These publishing houses have only emerged in recent years, and some have only recently emerged, such as the martial arts publishing house.

China is very large, with a population of more than 2 billion, and there are relatively few entertainment and pastimes in the entertainment genre, so there will be many regional publishing houses and many national publishing houses popping up every month.

If these fledgling publishing houses want to become famous in one fell swoop, they must either ask famous writers or have a strong consortium behind them.

If you can't do these two things, you can only take the novel route to attract attention. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get ahead, and if you want to get ahead, you must take the test for many years.

The martial arts publishing house is the last one, novelty! And it was very successful, and it became the first publishing house in the region in a short period of time, but this success is very replicated, unless there are other publishing houses that can also find such high-level and high-quality masterpieces as Condor White Hair.

Regional publishers want to convert to national distribution. You need to have qualifications, which are first of all past sales data, followed by follow-up investment, and finally reviewed and approved by the Writers' Association and some seniors in the literary world.

The first two conditions are not difficult, but the key is the last one, in order to transform into a national one, some publishing houses often need to invest a sum of money in the writers' association as a review fund, although it seems that the writers' association is very dry and shameless. But you can't cut the hurdle of the Writers' Association, because the Writers' Association is a high-value promotion platform, and anyone who is in the Writers' Association is a famous person who has been famous for a long time.

As for the difference between the writers' association and the literary world, that is the difference between domestic cats and wild tigers, although they both belong to the feline family, but the latter is more powerful.

The Writers' Association gathers all famous Chinese scholars, whether they are popular factions or traditional factions. There are also educational factions, but most of these masters are relatively young. The oldest is forty or fifty years old, and there is a regional writers' association, and some middle and high school students can enter with a few good literary works, but this regionality is naturally not comparable with the national writers' association, because the gap is too big.

The literary world is different from the Writers' Association. In the literary world, only the founders of a certain school or those whose works have the nature of being treasured and handed down are eligible to join the literary world, and there is no regional theory in the literary world, there is only one in the whole of China, and those who can enter the literary world are all Taishan Beidou-level figures in the literary world. Sometimes the publishing house that fails to pass the review of the writers' association, as long as the old-timers in the literary world let out the words to pass, then they can basically pass in the end, provided that the publishing house has no bad history.

The martial arts publishing house belongs to the list of greetings and approvals, otherwise it will have to wait for the approval of the writers' association, at least it will be delayed by one month compared to the current delay.

The level of national publishing houses in China is divided according to newspaper sales and physical book sales, but it is the most measured by the sales volume of newspapers and periodicals, and it is also the most accurate, because newspapers and periodicals generally belong to the series of three issues a week, and some will be four issues or one issue a day.

Generally speaking, a newly emerging publishing house can stabilize the circulation of newspapers and periodicals under its name within a year at an average of 600,000 per issue belongs to the potential level, between 600,000 and 800,000 yuan belongs to the national third-rate publishing house, between 800,000 and 1.1 million yuan belongs to the national second-rate publishing house, between 1.1 million and 1.5 million yuan belongs to the first-class publishing house, and above it belongs to the super-first-class or gold-lettered signboard level publishing house.

It generally takes at least five years to go from a fledgling publishing house to a first-class publishing house, and the quality of the articles commissioned by the publishing house should be maintained at the same level during these five years.

For these rules, Qi Ming has made up for his evil during this time, after all, he will have a foothold in this industry in the future.

At this time, looking at the printed sales data in his hand, Qi Ming felt very surprised.

According to the level of the first few chapters of [Smiling Proud Jianghu], Qi Ming's original estimate of martial arts sales data should be around 350,000, after all, except for the base camp Huatong City, there are too few people in other regions who know martial arts, and some of them know because of the huge influence of condor shooting.

However, Gu Qingyuan's sales data for himself showed that the sales of the first phase of martial arts were 500,000 copies, which was 150,000 higher than he expected.

The second phase has declined, but it still got 420,000 copies sold.

The third phase is declining, and the decline is severe, there are less than 350,000 copies, and of these 350,000 copies, 160,000 copies are sold in Huatong City......

In the fourth issue, that is, when [Xiaoao Jianghu] was serialized to the second chapter of "Listening to the Secret", the sales volume was declining, but the decline was not very obvious, and the majority of the sales volume was still from Huatong City.

The same is true for the remaining issues, and the lowest one, with less than 280,000 copies sold, is a bit miserable.

However, this kind of declining sales data has a blowout rise in the tenth chapter of "Rescue", which is the time when he is tearing up with Sima Zhao.

This small chapter is serialized in that issue. Sales climbed directly to 380,000 copies, and then the subsequent sales figures were increasing in a blowout.

From 380,000 to 450,000, and then to 500,000 at its peak, until the latest issue of the "Healing" serial, the sales of martial arts in the country have broken through to 650,000 copies, which can be said to be rising at a terrifying rate in each issue.

And the rate of rise in this. Qi Ming also knows some reasons, on the one hand, because of the mutual criticism with Sima Zhao, which has attracted a lot of attention to [Xiaoao Jianghu], of course, [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives] has also benefited a lot, and on the other hand, it is the rapidly rising score of Bandou.com.

Of course, the most important reason is that the plot of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] is more and more brilliant than the beginning, and readers have found suitable characters to bring in.

Looking at the sales data in his hand, Qi Ming smiled and said secretly in his heart: "The next issue is the time for the readers of [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives] to fulfill their promises." I'm afraid that there will be a terrifying increase in the sales of martial arts at that time. ”

And the most exciting chapter of the book [Smiling Proud Jianghu] is slowly beginning to unfold, the opening has always seemed flashy and flashy The real power of this secret book will be shown, breaking all the moves in the world, the Dugu Nine Swords, which is more authentic than the evil sword spectrum, the star-absorbing Dafa of letting me go, Zuo Lengchan's cold ice true qi, Shaolin Temple's Yijin Sutra, Yue Buqun's Zixia Divine Skill and other clever martial arts will also appear one by one. With the appearance of these miracles, one high/climactic plot after another will also unfold. ”

"Five Bosses gathering. Shaolin Temple gathered, Ling Hu Chong served as the leader of the alliance, Ling Hu Chong got acquainted with the world's heroes, the glamorous and moving Ren Yingying appeared, got the true transmission of Dugu Jiu Sword Swordsmanship, and fought undefeated in the East. Frustrating the four people of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and so on, a series of high/tide to moan/groan plots will contribute to the non-stop sales of martial arts serialized with [Smiling Proud Jianghu]. ”

Thinking of these plots, even Qi Ming himself couldn't help but feel very cool. It was as if all the scenes were unfolding in front of my eyes.

Especially when he thought of Xu Lao's strange whimsical [Smiling Proud Jianghu], Qi Ming's heart was full of infinite longing and nostalgia.

"I want to move out of the original version of Xu Laowei's movie version of [Smiling Proud Jianghu], and I want to borrow the technology of this world to make the picture more exquisite, and I want everyone in Huaguo to see the Oriental Sect Master who makes people ripple, reverie, love, and compassion." Qi Ming said secretly.

Putting down the printed data in his hand, Qi Ming adjusted his focus to the TV series version of [Smiling Proud Jianghu], and now the sales of martial arts will become higher and higher as the plot of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] becomes more and more exciting, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

The most important thing to take action now is to start filming [Smiling Proud Jianghu], and then use the funds after the profit to start filming the [Smiling Proud Jianghu] movie.

This is Qi Ming's plan, although this plan seems difficult, but as long as you take it step by step in a down-to-earth manner, it is not impossible to achieve.

Clicking on the company's internal encrypted documents, Qi Ming began to examine the cosplayers who had been screened by the studio staff and recommended to him.

After carefully looking through the information of these screened artists, Qi Ming determined a few more roles, but there is still no clue about the protagonists for the time being.

Not to mention anything else, first of all, Yue Buqun, a hypocrite, must choose a good role, otherwise he will not be able to play his kind of hypocrite temperament under the sanctimonious manner, and every head of the Wuyue Sword Sect.

Finally, it is Linghu Chong, Ren Yingying, Dongfang, undefeated and other roles.

After thinking about it, Qi Ming felt that it was necessary for him to go to Shangjing, Nanhai, Hengdian and other film and television bases to have a look, because there will be many characters waiting for potential to be tapped in these places, and there are not a few outstanding ones.

Now that he thought of it, Qi Ming began to act.

After explaining some simple things in China Entertainment Studio, and then sending the follow-up draft of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] to Gu Qingyuan, Qi Ming set off with the newly recruited personal assistant Pu Yu.

Pu Yu is a twenty-four-year-old unmarried young woman, with an average appearance, but she has an extremely capable feeling all over her body, and through a month of contact, Pu Yu has indeed proved that she is a very qualified assistant, some work problems, whether Qi Ming wants to or not, she can do it without leakage, and arrange Qi Ming's schedule properly every day.

After a few days of travel, Qi Ming successively went to several famous film and television bases in China, and according to the characteristics of the characters in [Xiaoao Jianghu], he looked for the first batch of actors from Huayu Studio.

When these actors learned of Qi Ming's identity, they were all surprised and thanked again and again, because Qi Ming found these actors. are mainly in line with the roles in the book, and most of these actors are artists who have been playing tricks or have just made a little success in the circle.

After signing the agreement, these artists were all recruited by Qi Ming into the name of China Entertainment Studio, and as the first batch of veterans to move in, they will be given priority to every drama of China Entertainment Studio in the future.

Ten days later. The only characters in the TV series version of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] are Ling Hu Chong, Yue Lingshan, and Ren Yingying.

Originally, there was still one Lin Pingzhi missing, but after thinking about it again, Qi Ming continued to use Xiao Mengbai, because it is really difficult to find a role to control this role, Xiao Mengbai is undoubtedly very suitable, and the character of femininity, Xiao Mengbai is too perfect to play. And Xiao Mengbai is not much older than Lin Pingzhi in the book, under the current superb makeup technology and shooting technology, Xiao Mengbai is absolutely perfect for the role of Lin Pingzhi.

And after Xiao Mengbai learned of Qi Ming's decision, he also said that he wanted to challenge this role that was destined to be very controversial in the later stage, and frankly admitted that he was ready to be spurned and abused by thousands of audiences......

Yue Lingshan and Ren Yingying are two roles, and Qi Ming locked Yang Yuting and Bu Feiyan among the four little flowers.

Yang Yuting and Qi Ming have been in contact with her, and according to her nature, she is very suitable for Yue Lingshan, the role of a bird in the early stage and a flood of maternal love in the later stage.

And Bu Ruyan is very suitable for Ren Yingying, a character who is cold in the early stage and loves like fire in the later stage.

After making up your mind. Qi Ming asked Pu Yu to contact Bu Feiyan's agent, and then contacted Yang Yuting himself.

It was because of the last incident. Qi Ming felt that there were some problems when talking to Yang Yuting, after all, Yan Su'er terminated the contract with the creation because of that incident.

But after communication, Qi Ming learned that Yang Yuting had also terminated the contract with the creation, and joined forces with Yan Suer to establish Yanyu Studio in Shangjing.

And when Yang Yuting learned that she was going to participate in [Smiling Proud Jianghu], she happily said Qi Ming, I love you, Qi Ming likes you and so on......

But after this incident. Qi Ming knew that he must have been targeted by Creation Film and Television, thinking that he was targeted by Creation and Fenghua as soon as he took a step, Qi Ming felt a little pressure, but only with pressure will there be motivation, so Qi Ming does not reject this pressure.

After contacting Bu Feiyan's agent. The other party said that he would consider it, and give a reply within three days, so far, it can be regarded as finding the main characters of [Xiaoao Jianghu], and now there is only one main Linghu Chong left.

In the end, Qi Ming decided to go to Hengdian, because Qi Ming heard from an artist he selected that there was an artist named Lu Songpeng in Hengdian, which was very in line with the character of Ling Hu Chong described to him by Qi Ming.

It's just that this artist has misbehaved and has had sexual/assault cases, so he has been refrigerated by many directors, although it was finally confirmed that this case is fake, but this person named Lu Songpeng has borrowed wine all day since that incident to drown his sorrows, and he has been wandering around Hengdian all day long, making a living by picking up waste.

The reason why he went to Hengdian, in addition to some people saying that Lu Songpeng is very suitable for the role of Ling Hu Chong, the more important reason is that the name Lu Songpeng made Qi Ming see two people on the blue planet, both of whom portrayed the role of Ling Hu Chong very well.

……

While Qi Ming was looking for roles in the north and south of China, martial arts and Ming and Qing dynasty guests also serialized the [Smiling Proud Jianghu] and [Ghost Crying Seven Swords] as usual.

After 0:00 at the end of the month, the score of Pingdou.com completely divided the winners and losers, and finally [Xiaoao Jianghu] led the [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives] with a high score of 7.8 and won the victory with a gap of 0.6.

At the same time, Qi Ming also posted on Weibo/Weibo the national sales of martial arts during this period.

After seeing the ups and downs in the sales of martial arts, industry insiders have expressed their shock, and many peer publishers have sent congratulatory messages, because a newly emerging publishing house can achieve such good results in a month, which is really rare, and everyone can see that the sales of martial arts will increase faster and faster in the future.

However, the fans of Sima Zhao, who lost a game on Bandou.com, suddenly found a venting point after seeing the sales data of martial arts, and went to the comment area of Qi Ming's blog post to say that the sales of martial arts are far worse than those of Ming and Qing Ke, and they are not worthy of lifting shoes, etc., without considering the gap between martial arts and Ming and Qing Ke, they just want to find a window to vent, so as to vent the grievances accumulated in their hearts during this time.

And these remarks of Sima Zhao's fans, Qi Ming's fans also fought back, and in a short period of time, a lot of war of words was set off on Xinhu Wei/Bo.

Faced with this situation, Qi Ming didn't want to say anything, because the future sales of martial arts would give these clamoring people a heavy slap in the face.

After Sima Zhao saw these remarks, he didn't speak, but watched quietly, because he knew very well that if he didn't let fans vent with newspaper sales, then he would really lose this time.

At the beginning of the month, Wuxia and Ming and Qing Ke were sold nationwide at the same time, but this time Wuxia printed 400,000 more copies, because considering the ratings of many newsstands on Bandou.

On this day, the physical books of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] and [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives] were also sold at the same time across the country, with the price of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] being 60 and the price of [Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives] being 65.

And the film and television version of "Ghost Crying Seven Evil Knives" officially started filming, and it is expected to start broadcasting in the summer vacation.

A week later, the latest issue of the sales data of martial arts and Ming and Qing Ke newspapers came out, and after the sales data was exposed this time, all the publishing houses in the industry in China gasped, especially the staff of Ming and Qing Ke and Sima Zhao, who were all angry and wanted to jump.
