At the beginning of July, the summer in the south is extremely hot.

Even if the air conditioner was turned on in the office and the air conditioning was blowing, Li Xiuying still felt irritable and stuffy, her heart was like a fire, and she was restless.

In the future, the data company's sales statistics for the physical book "Romeo and Juliet" will be delivered.

This is the book's first month of sales.

The sales data of a book, the first week, and the first month are the most important and the most important measure of the market value of the book.

Romeo and Juliet's first week sales were encouraging, selling more than 800,000 copies in one week!

The weekly sales can predict the market, and because of its popularity, Li Xiuying successfully opened the market outside the province, cooperated with major booksellers, and tried her best to spread this drama work to the bookstore where her hand could reach.

In the past three weeks, the results are expected, Li Xiuying no longer knows how many calls she has received from booksellers urging goods, and the printing house that cooperates with Fresh Culture Company has been working overtime for a long time to make the book "Romeo and Juliet".

Today, the first day after a month on the market, the monthly sales volume will be counted.

Li Xiuying couldn't keep calm, and had already asked the secretary to call several times to urge her, asking the statisticians to send the sales list quickly.

She wants to be the first to see the sales figures.

"How much can you sell? Two million must have it, right? Li Xiuying couldn't help but speculate for a while, in the past month, the printing house has shipped more than 3 million copies, but she doesn't know if the book will be sold after it arrives in the bookstore.

The number of sales to readers is the most real sales, not the number of factory sales.

"If there were two million, the book would have sold more than five million copies. It's definitely a great fight for our company! ”

Li Xiuying has greater ambitions: "If it is far more than two million in the first month, according to the general market rules." The annual sales of a book are two to three times that of the first month, then ...... Tens of millions of copies? ”

Li Xiuying was taken aback by her guesses.

For Su Wen, she already attaches great importance to it and maintains the greatest optimism, however, the truth tells her. He was still a little unexpectedly surprised by the market value of Su Wen's works.

Not to mention, in addition to the hot publishing market, "Romeo and Juliet" has also brought them a steady stream of benefits in terms of theater performances.

With the help of the whole company, five troupes toured in major cities and cities in the province, and now more than a month and a half have passed, and the situation is very good.

The reputation of this drama is excellent. It is also a love theme that everyone likes to see, coupled with the tension of drama, especially in major urban areas, Bai Luofei's influence is amazing, she first went to take the lead, and after performing word-of-mouth and praise, she was taken over by other troupes of the company and pulled the tour to the county. Slowly harvest the theater box office.

In the past month or so, there has been an average of nearly one million dollars a day. Now the total box office has exceeded 30 million!

30 million Chinese dollars!

Don't look at this data, it can't be compared with other productions that often have hundreds of millions of theater revenues across the country, but this is only the pure box office of a province, plus the tour is estimated to last for about a month, Li Xiuying's "Romeo and Juliet" theater income in the province is estimated to be about 50 million.

This does not include the surrounding income, in addition, the biggest advantage of Fresh Culture Company is that it has its own more than 10 theaters. It is both its own theater. The cost of these revenues is greatly reduced, and it can be turned into profits, 50 million box office, plus the periphery, how can there be 70 or 80 million.

As long as the profit is half. That's a profit of thirty or forty million.

That's almost their net profit for the past three quarters!

This shows how important Romeo and Juliet really is to their company! If you count the physical book market, then this work can be worth their profits in previous years!

Therefore, it is not too much to say that Li Xiuying values Su Wen now. You know, this is only Su Wen's first theatrical work, he is still young, and there will be countless more works......

In addition, among these incomes, the theater performance is just a harvest in the province, even if the fresh culture company cannot gain a foothold outside the province, with the popularity of this work, it is also a large amount of income just by licensing it to cultural companies outside the province.

In the past few days, Li Xiuying has been very busy, including copyright negotiations with cultural companies outside the province, and these companies have gradually increased the negotiation price.

Li Xiuying didn't agree, and delayed until now, just to wait for the monthly sales data of "Romeo and Juliet" to come out, and if the data is good, it is also a big bargaining chip!

Will the data be bad enough to lower the negotiated price? Well, Li Xiuying never thought that such a situation would occur now!

"Mr. Li!" There was a rush of footsteps.

Li Xiuying's secretary trotted in, holding a piece of paper in her hand, and rushed in with a happy face, shouting: "Mr. Li, the data sheet has been sent!" The sales are great! ”

"Give it to me!" Li Xiuying stood up suddenly, snatched the data sheet from the secretary's hand, swept her eyes, skipped the sales specific to the provinces and cities, and only stayed at the total.

How much?

"Ten hundred thousand...... Li Xiuying has been in the digital digits, and finally, stopped, a smile appeared on her face, she was very happy, and her smile gradually brightened, she slapped the table and shouted, "Okay!" Good! Very good! ”

On the data sheet, it is a very conspicuous data -

Two million 750,000!

"Romeo and Juliet" physical book monthly sales: 2.75 million copies!

This data may not be conspicuous in the publishing market of the Chinese Empire, but compared to the weekly sales of this book, it is within a normal ratio.

Thrice!

Then, if you extrapolate the annual sales volume according to the normal ratio, multiply it by two, and it will be more than 5 million copies!

A newcomer's first work sold five million copies when it came up, which is simply an astonishing number. Many great writers did not have such results when they debuted.

If...... If, optimistically, multiply by three, that's more than eight million copies sold...... A little more optimistic, wouldn't it be tens of millions of copies?

Well, Li Xiuying has fallen into a rhapsody and can't extricate herself. She knows that she has more confidence in negotiating with others. She also knew that it was time for the printer to reprint Romeo and Juliet!

After thinking about it, Li Xiuying instructed the secretary and said: "I have only one request to release the monthly sales data of the physical book "Romeo and Juliet". The paper media in our province will spread the news within three days. Internet media, everything that can be influenced also put this news on it! ”

"I understand, Mr. Li!" The secretary hurried out and did as instructed.

Soon, the news that the physical book of Romeo and Juliet sold nearly three million copies in a month spread throughout the industry and beyond.

As the literary editor-in-chief of "Yuezhou Evening News", Fang Chengshi received the news of the newspaper for the first time, and he was not much shocked, as if he had expected it.

But. He still couldn't sit still, and remembered a suggestion he had made to Su Wen when he and Ding Lin broke up unhappily a few days ago - let Fang Chengshi jump out of the box of the evening newspaper and become the operator of the publishing house, and work with Su Wen to cross the cultural market.

On the same day, Ding Lin proposed to Su Wen to join the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and the former threw his sleeves away, but Su Wen didn't care, and said that he could wait for some time to talk about it, just wait until the moment when the physical book of "Romeo and Juliet" came out in the month!

Ding Lin heard such sales. What's the idea? Fang Chengshi sighed, his mood was a little complicated.

He and Ding Lin have been classmates for many years. Because of this situation, he was introduced to Su Wen, and he felt a little sorry for Su Wen at that time, after all, Ding Lin's publishing house was a pit.

Later, in order to help this old classmate, Fang Chengshi did not hesitate to make the other party dissatisfied, and proposed a proposal to divide the shares and win over Su Wen. Unexpectedly, Su Wen had a bigger appetite and wanted to join the Spring and Autumn Publishing House. In this way, Fang Chengshi felt sorry for Ding Lin again, and he was embarrassed to contact him these days.

"Now ......" Fang Chengshi smiled bitterly, no one knew better than him. If the Spring and Autumn Publishing House does not improve in the next year, it will definitely go out of business.

Whether Ding Lincheng admits it or not, he has not many options.

"Perhaps, Su Wen is really its savior!" Fang Chengshi couldn't admit that Su Wen saw the problem very deeply, and the opportunity to become the master also occupied the right time and place.

Writers who are more famous than Su Wen definitely don't look down on the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and there is no basis for cooperation; Worse than Su Wen, it is of little use to the Spring and Autumn Publishing House.

Only Su Wen, with the right reputation and the right strength, is the most suitable partner to work with.

"To meet such an ambitious young man, alas...... I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse! Fang Chengshi sighed, feeling that he couldn't wait any longer, he wanted to talk to Ding Lin Haosheng.

What to talk about?

Let's talk about the market value of Su Wen's works, as well as his potential.

Through the relationship with Li Xiuying, Fang Chengshi can know the details of Su Wen's cooperation with Fresh Culture Company, he calculated a little, not counting other copyrights, as long as "Romeo and Juliet" sells more than five million copies, Su Wen can get three or four million income before tax.

Counting the income from performances, it is conservatively estimated that there are more than two million incomes. If copyright works a little bit better, that's another big income.

Fang Chengshi's rough estimate is that it is only a "Romeo and Juliet", conservatively speaking, Su Wen can earn six or seven million; If you're a little more optimistic, it's tens of millions.

An eighteen-year-old young man, a work will earn tens of millions of dollars!

What a concept!

Fang Chengshi understands very well that even if he becomes the top leader in the "Yuezhou Evening News" in the end, he will not eat or drink for the rest of his life, it is estimated that this is just the number.

People are more than people, that is, they are angry to death!

Fang Chengshi really couldn't be calm, did he think that he was really willing to do this in the evening newspaper for the rest of his life?

He had to start thinking about Su Wen's suggestion to let him jump out of the evening newspaper and work hard in the world.

Thinking about it this way, he contacted Ding Lin much more often, and his motivation to persuade the other party was much greater.

Three days later, Fang Chengshi made a phone call to Su Wen and only said one sentence:

"Su Wen, Ding Lin has agreed to let you join the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, and the specific matters will have to be discussed in detail before they can be determined, we ...... Come out and talk! (To be continued......)
