Chapter 241: Collecting Pounds and Selling Shares......
Huaguo knows in the publishing industry that if you want to improve sales data, whether it is newspapers or physical books, it needs a long-term accumulation process.
But after seeing the national sales of martial arts, all the insiders are not calm.
In the first issue at the beginning of the month, because of the reasons why many Sima Zhao's readers fulfilled the gambling fight, the sales of martial arts in the current issue climbed directly to 1.1 million copies, which has reached the level of a second-rate publishing house in China.
But what people didn't expect was that the sales of the second phase of martial arts this month were maintained at 650,000 copies, and there was a situation of out-of-stock in many parts of the country.
In the third phase, the sales volume has reached 720,000 copies, and there are still many places where they are out of stock.
At this moment, people suddenly woke up and realized an extremely absurd thing.
Sales need to accumulate over the years, that's for sure, but there are other reasons that can also promote sales, such as spending money on advertising, asking famous writers to write, looking for celebrity endorsements, etc., and now the reason why the sales of martial arts have skyrocketed is that they have advertised, but this advertising martial arts publishing house has not spent a penny.
And this advertisement, which did not cost a penny, achieved more powerful results than those advertisements that cost tens of millions of dollars.
Advertising must cost money, the reason why the sales of martial arts have skyrocketed this time, and it didn't cost money, is entirely because the Ming and Qing dynasties helped martial arts play a big advertisement, or Sima Zhao played a big advertisement for martial arts.
As a first-class publishing house in China, the Ming and Qing dynasties have a lot of regular readers in the country. Sima Zhao, as a veteran master, one of the six masters of literature and ink, and readers in China are also a terrifying number.
And after the bet on Bandou was lost, many regular readers of the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as many fans of Sima Zhao, bought a martial arts according to the bet.
Although they fulfilled the gambling contract to buy a martial arts and didn't care about the two yuan, but since they bought it. It must be a glance, even if it's something you hate, since you buy it, you will take a look, and then decide whether to throw it away or not.
But what kind of story is [Smiling Proud Jianghu]? It was a wonderful story that made people applaud, and now the plot has passed the initial dullness and is beginning to enter the high/climax.
As a result, many readers who bought a martial arts because of the fulfillment of the gambling contract slowly turned into solemnity from the initial mentality of taking a look. Then there was amazement, and finally there was complete fascination with the sight.
As soon as people are fascinated by the reading, it is naturally very much expected for the follow-up plot, so naturally, many new readers who fulfill the gambling contract have bought the second and third issues of martial arts, and many people have begun to buy the first few issues of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] to watch it at a time, but it can still be bought in the near future. If there are more than three issues, there will be no sales at ordinary newsstands.
So this situation has created a situation where many people look at it through martial arts. Some people even posted in the [Smiling Proud Jianghu] section that the door of their house was knocked on more than a dozen times a day, all of which were upstairs and downstairs knowing that there were martial arts in their own homes and wanted to borrow the martial arts serialized in the past to see.
Seeing that someone had posted, many people also posted one after another that their doors had been knocked on a few times, all of which were read through the past issue of martial arts.
In the face of many posts, people in the vicinity borrowed martial arts to read it in the past. Many friends also posted to urge everyone to pay attention to safety when opening the door, so as not to be taken advantage of by scammers to enter the house.
Finally, after a lot of discussion among friends, many loyal fans of [Smiling Proud Jianghu] put the martial arts that had been serialized in the past on the newspaper box at the door, and marked next to it, do not knock on the door. The previous issues are in the newspaper box, please send it back after reading, take care of the reading materials and the like.
This proposal was quickly accepted by a large number of people, and many people who subscribed to martial arts began to do so, after all, it could make a good promotion for their favorite Xiaoao.
However, although many people have used this method, it still can't save many new readers of martial arts, so there are many such voices at many scrap collection stations across China.
"Boss, where are all the newspapers and periodicals you bought? How do you sell it? ”
"Boss, have you received martial arts? Is it still in stock here? ”
"I have ten yuan here, do you have any martial arts in the past, if so, can you give me a set?"
"Urgently, boss, I'll give you three yuan a piece, you can find me to see if I can find the previous martial arts, the more complete the better, give me a complete set and I'll give you four yuan a piece."
"Ma Dan, I want to die if I have a fishing appetite, boss, don't you give me a whole few copies of the past martial arts, and in the future, my scraps and neighbors will not sell them to you......"
"Is there any martial arts, in the past, it's okay to be dirty, as long as it doesn't affect reading, I'll pay for it!"
"There's a series of smiling martial arts in that pile, right? Can I find two copies myself? I give money. ”
In the face of such a money-giver, many owners of scrap collection stations are smiling, and some of them have dentures, and they are even more smiling at the dentures, which is the first time to make such a profit.
When you collect it, you will talk about it, and when you sell it, you will talk about it, and some people will see that they have found all the martial arts in the past, and they will be thrown out for dozens of dollars......
After buying the previous martial arts, many new readers have found places related to [Smiling Proud Jianghu] to show off, and posted pictures to show how lucky they are, and also wrote a post about their hard work to find the previous martial arts, which resonated with many people for a while.
And some Xiaoao book lovers who sell scrap at home have also posted that because of the resale of second-hand martial arts, their income has increased by hundreds of yuan a day, and attached the scenes of many people looking for martial arts newspapers and periodicals in the area where newspapers and periodicals are stacked.
Finally, according to strongman statistics, because of the reselling of martial arts, a scrap yard with the highest income that day made a profit of nearly 5,000 yuan, which attracted a large number of netizens for a while, and they all expressed whether they wanted to hoard previous martial arts to make money.
In this case, some portals have also made some news related to them and put up a bombing headline.
Xiao Wang made a profit of 1,000 yuan a day because of reselling waste paper. Become a new generation of scrap reselling little princes. ”
"Lao Zhang's family collected waste products for 20 years, and finally made a fortune by reselling second-hand newspapers and periodicals."
"Because at the same time looking for second-hand martial arts in the scrap heap, a man and a woman actually got married, amazing!"
"This year's latest fortune, second-hand newspapers and periodicals are worth more than first-hand money."
"When you receive, you will judge the pound, and when you sell, you will judge the share. What could be more lucrative than that? ”
"Two yuan when a pound of newspapers and periodicals are collected, and five hundred yuan when they are sold, poke it in quickly and teach you to get rich!"
…… Ridiculous headlines like these abound and get a lot of clicks.
In the case of these news headlines and heated discussions among netizens, martial arts, a new newspaper published in China, has attracted more people's attention in a short period of time, and many people are curious and have started a current issue of martial arts.
As a result, they also began to join the search for second-hand martial arts.
Because of a bet. Martial arts has become a sweet spot, how can this not make the Ming and Qing Dynasty guests and Sima Zhao, who advertised for free, angry and jumping?
Although the average sales of martial arts are not as good as those of third-rate publishing houses, under such a terrifying improvement rate, at most one month, martial arts can make up for the situation of the bottom of the initial sales and become a third-rate or even second-rate publishing house.
Just thinking about it makes many insiders jealous and hateful. This kind of effect is not spent a penny, and the final result. It's so jealous.
However, the reason why martial arts can become popular because of a gambling contract, although people in the industry are very jealous, everyone understands that 99% of the reason why martial arts is popular is that [Smiling Proud Jianghu] is too good-looking.
Otherwise, the publicity is strong, and it will not cause the current effect. At most, it is a little hot in the current period and the next issue, and it does not play much role in the overall situation at all.
With the popularity of the martial arts serialized [Smiling Proud Jianghu], the pen name Qiming also became popular in the industry at one time, although the average sales of martial arts are far less than those of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the books after Qiming. As long as you are willing to switch to other publishing houses, the price of the text will definitely not be less than that of the six masters of literature and ink in the literary world.
However, people in the industry know that if you want Qiming to change the publishing house, the first thing to do is the martial arts publishing house to go out of business, because the martial arts publishing house is Qiming's own, otherwise there is no such possibility, and because of this, there will be very few publishing houses that ask Qi Ming for manuscripts, otherwise Qi Ming's phone will definitely be blown up.
Ten days later, the martial arts on Xiaoao serialized to "wash your hands", this chapter is mainly about Liu Zhengfeng preparing to retire to the rivers and lakes, and then playing the Xiaoao Jianghu song with Qu Yang, the elder of the Sun and Moon God Sect, but Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, the two are one good and one evil, so the friendship between the two of them is not tolerated in the rivers and lakes, and finally the two died of breaking their muscles and veins, composing a sad song.
After this chapter was serialized, there were a lot of discussions about Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng on the Internet, which once made [Xiaoao Jianghu] jump to the homepage of the hot article post section of major websites.
And in the past ten days, the sales of martial arts have also been rising, and by the latest chapter of "Washing Your Hands", the sales of martial arts have climbed to 900,000 copies, and since the first issue of the sale, the sales of martial arts have increased from forty or fifty to nine hundred thousand, an increase of half.
The average sales volume has also increased from 400,000 to 650,000, as long as this data is maintained for a long time, Wuxia Publishing House will be among the ranks of third-rate publishing houses in China.
The terrifying speed at which a fledgling publishing house has achieved such results in just over a month has shocked everyone in the industry, and they have begun to pay more attention to the quality of the books that their publishing houses are serializing.
……
Martial arts are in full swing, and Qi Ming and Pu Yu have also arrived at Hengdian Film and Television Base.
Qi Ming also knows a little about the sales of martial arts in these two issues, because every day when he passes by some newsstands, he can see one or two people buying martial arts.
However, Qi Ming didn't ask about the specific sales volume, anyway, these things will be known sooner or later.
According to the address given by the person who introduced Lu Songpeng to him, Qi Ming and Pu Yu searched for the address outside the Hengdian Film and Television Base, and finally stopped downstairs in a rental house.
The Hengdian Film and Television Base is very prosperous, so there are many rental buildings around this film and television base, and the houses of these buildings are rented to artists who play tricks in the Hengdian Film and Television Base or often move around.
Those who have a lot of money will rent or buy a suite directly, and those who are not rich will rent it, or several people will rent a room together. Before becoming famous, these hardships must be eaten.
Entering the rented building, Qi Ming and Pu Yu found Lu Songpeng's room according to the room number, and then Pu Yu knocked on the door.
Then there was a hurried "coming, coming" sound from inside the house.
After the door of the room opened, Qi Ming saw a young man about twenty years old, and then saw that there were two people in the room who were discussing something fiercely.
Just one eye. Qi Ming knew that this was a shared house, that is, a room shared by several people.
"Who are you looking for?" The young man who opened the door asked expectantly.
Those of them who live in the Hengdian Film and Television Base think that they can get notices every day, so they are full of hope for every phone call and visitor.
"Is Lu Songpeng here?" As an assistant, she knew that there were some things that Qi Ming didn't need to say.
"Inside, come in." The young man's tone was filled with disappointment.
After hearing this, Pu Yu looked inside the room, and then looked at Qi Ming with an inquiring look.
"Go in and have a look." Qi Ming said.
After entering the room, Qi Ming smelled a strange smell. Although these people are all artists, there are still common problems among men, especially when several men live together.
Although there was a slight smell, the room was still very tidy and a few beds were clean.
"I just heard that you are looking for Lu Songpeng? Let me tell you, if it's filming, then it's better to find him than to find me, you just have to give me a standard. I can shoot anything. At this moment, a handsome young man came over and said to Pu Yu.
"You've already taken on several plays. Don't rob it this time, I heard that I was looking for Lu Songpeng, I didn't even open my mouth to recommend myself, you don't know how Lu Songpeng lives now. The young man who opened the door for Qi Ming said, his tone full of blame.
"What kind of scene are you looking for him to film?" The handsome young man didn't pay attention to the young man who opened the door for Qi Ming, but handed over a business card of his own and asked.
What Qi Ming hates most is self-righteous people. The first impression was that he didn't feel much when he saw this handsome young man, but when he heard the two words that this young man said, Qi Ming didn't like this person from the bottom of his heart.
"A new play, I want to find him to see if he can be the protagonist." Pu Yu politely took the business card and said.
As soon as he heard Pu Yu say this, the eyes of the young man who opened the door for Qi Ming and Pu Yu were full of envy. And the handsome young man smiled a little disdainfully and said, "In this way, let Lu Songpeng be the protagonist of your play, I don't know what your play is called?" What company is planning to shoot? ”
Hearing this, Qi Ming didn't like this person even more, so he said, "The small studio, not long after it was established, if there is nothing else, let's talk about it here first, this brother, take us to meet Lu Songpeng, okay?" ”
"Yes, you can." The young man who opened the door said.
"It's just a small studio, with such a big tone, I didn't ask if I knew it was a small studio, I should have thought a long time ago, what kind of big company can be looking for Lu Songpeng as the protagonist, and the big company will come to the door to find someone in person?" When the handsome young man heard what Qi Ming said, he muttered in a low voice, and then left.
Although the handsome young man spoke in a small voice, it was obviously deliberately said to Qi Ming, but Qi Ming just smiled after hearing it, and didn't say much.
The young man who opened the door for Qi Ming and Pu Yu smiled apologetically at Qi Ming and said at this time, "He is not bad, but his mouth is a little poisonous, don't mind, I will take you to see Lu Songpeng, in fact, Lu Songpeng is a person with great acting skills, but he has encountered some things, but I think since you are looking for him, you must know about him, so I won't say more." ”
As he spoke, the young man took Qi Ming and Pu Yu to a bed a little far from the door, and on the bed there was a sleeping young man half-lying on the bed at this time, although he was dressed very neatly, but it was not difficult to see from his dress and face that he was very depressed at this time.
"Brother Lu, wake up, someone is looking for you." The young man who opened the door pushed Lu Songpeng, who was squinting and sleeping, and said.
"Who is looking for me, is there any wine? No wine, no talking. Lu Songpeng opened his eyes and looked at the young man who pushed him, and said in a hoarse voice.
At this time, the room knew that someone was looking for Lu Songpeng to film, and he was still the protagonist, and several people who were still in the room surrounded him, including the handsome young man.
They all want to see if it is the small studio that is not afraid of death who came to find Lu Songpeng, an actor who has had negative news about sexual/assault cases. (To be continued.) )
