Chapter 150: Breaking the Record

Weekly sales of 850,000 copies!

Li Xiuying remembered the word "record", and vaguely remembered which record Su Wen had broken in this achievement.

850,000 copies, which seems like a lot, but it is really not commendable compared with those great writers. Not to mention anything else, at Wang Tianming's level, the new book was released, and in the first week, it was not a success to sell more than 10 million copies nationwide.

Even if it is a level of Xie Kun, the national sales in a week are still millions of copies, even in Guangzhou/Dongxing Province, the publicity is done well, and it is estimated that the sales volume will exceed one million in a week.

Su Wen's current achievements, of course, cannot be compared with these cattle people, and they can't make waves in the whole country.

What Li Xiuying wants to say is a writer of Su Wen's level, a writer under the age of 20, and Su Wen was more famous in the past, and the cultural company is properly operated, and it is not a problem to explode his sales of three or five million in a week.

However, it was a nationwide person, and in terms of Guangzhou/Dongxing Province, at Su Wen's age, the sales volume was 850,000 a week, which seemed really remarkable.

Li Xiuying hurriedly checked a lot of information in the industry on the Internet, and finally, on an official statistical table, found the relevant record -- fifteen years ago, there was an eighteen-year-old boy in Guangzhou/Dongxing Province who wrote a novel about campus youth, and at that time, everyone also hyped him as a literary genius, which attracted a lot of attention, and within a week, more than 700,000 copies of the book were sold.

How much is it?

Li Xiuying checked it again and finally came up with a specific figure - 730,000 copies!

This is the best result for writers under the age of 20 in Guangzhou/Dongxing Province to sell in a week according to the statistics of physical book sales!

Now, Su Wen has broken this record, and the data has suddenly risen to 850,000 copies!

That is, these decades. Su Wen can be said to be the first writer under the age of 20 in Guangzhou/Dongxing Province!

"Breaking this record, or more than ten years of records......" Li Xiuying was excited, she thought of more things, "One record is broken, is the other record still far away?" ”

Not to mention anything else, if the news spreads. It will definitely make the industry rise bigger waves, and it can also create a bigger sensation in the vast market!

At that time, Su Wen's fame will be bigger and louder, and the sales will continue to rise!

Li Xiuying saw a bright future, she did not hesitate, and immediately dialed the phone of the cultural media reporter she knew to publicize this data, and more importantly, mentioned that Su Wen broke a record in Guangzhou/Dongxing Province.

Her reporter friends were very interested in hearing this, asked about the data in detail, and then promised that they would report it. Let more people know about this exciting news.

More than ten years of records, once broken, the name of the genius boy is even louder, such a gimmick is also a topic that the media needs, and reporting it can not only be a favor, but also attract readers. Why not?

With everyone's help, Li Xiuying was excited. calmed down a little, and felt that the data she ordered to print one million copies seemed to be a little less, and after thinking about it, another phone call passed, and asked the people below to increase the horsepower printing, and increase the number of additional printing to one and a half million!

She tasted the sweetness of hyping Su Wen!

Although the current record is only for the extent of Quang/Dongxing Province. However, the cultural economy of the surrounding provinces is even worse than that of Guangzhou/Dong, and they generally keep an eye on the market trends around Guangzhou/Dongdong.

Books that are successful in Guangdong, when they reach them, the market is not bad.

Now. "Romeo and Juliet" broke a record in Guangdong/Guangdong, and when the news spreads, it will definitely cause an even bigger sensation, and then it will be more eye-catching, and the book will sell hotter!

What's more, the province of Guangzhou/Dongxing sells almost 700,000 copies a week, and the market seems to be far from full, according to the market and convention, the total sales in the province are generally three to four times the weekly sales!

In other words, the province of Guangzhou/Dongxing can digest about two million copies, which shows the market's desire for "Romeo and Juliet". Of course, this total sales volume takes a long time, and is generally calculated in years.

This matter is not urgent, we have to wait slowly.

Li Xiuying can already see the success of Romeo and Juliet, and it is not surprising that the Canton/Dongxing provinces and surrounding provinces have sold more than 3 million copies!

Three million, if their company's channels are stronger and spread the market to other parts of the country, wouldn't it be appropriate to spread the market to other parts of the country?

A newcomer's first book has 5 million sales, although it is not at the level of 10 million bestsellers, but it is also commendable!

"Su Wen, you are really my lucky general!" Li Xiuying sighed, feeling that her cooperation with Su Wen under the highest conditions in the industry was her wisest decision in recent years.

However, as soon as she remembered that Su Wen also cooperated with Matrix Culture Company in a new drama, Li Xiuying was resentful and helpless, regretting that her company's ability was limited and she could not operate two blockbuster works at the same time.

"No, I want to get closer to Su Wen, and I can't let him completely fall to Tang Ya's side!" Li Xiuying had an idea, and she didn't hesitate, and immediately called Su Wen, told her about the week's sales, and also mentioned the record-breaking.

"Records?" Su Wen was surprised at first, and then there was not much surprise - but the weekly sales record of a writer under the age of 20 in a mere province is worth rejoicing?

He brought this famous work of Shakespeare to the world, not to beat those children, his goal is those great writers and writers, he wants to compete with them, to compete with them, to reach their height, to have their status!

This is the highest pursuit, a small record of a province, he can't look at it anymore.

Therefore, Li Xiuying said that he did not show any joy, and the only thing he felt good about was that the sales were high, and the higher the income he could get.

In this world, one criterion for judging whether a writer is a great writer is sales, that is, income!

It is not surprising that literati get rich, and great writers are all worth hundreds of millions. On the contrary, if you don't get the corresponding wealth through writing, no one will recognize it.

These days, Su Wen is staying at home, concentrating on the adaptation of the big drama "Thunderstorm", and modifying it to make it more suitable for the environment of this world, both in terms of background and content.

It was a lively June outside, and he didn't have to take the college entrance examination. Just wait for the university to send him an invitation. Other students were conducting intense exams, but Su Wen turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and only changed the classics.

After these days of hard work, "Thunderstorm" has been adapted almost completely, as long as it is thrown at a suitable time to shock the world.

Li Xiuying didn't get the satisfaction of the surprise from Su Wen, and she was very unwilling. However, I also admired Su Wen's calmness, and even more admired his ambition, and after hanging up the phone, he urged those media to hype up this topic.

She wants to squeeze out all the value of Su Wen!

Su Wen felt that this small record was meaningless, however, those media workers did not think so, so from the next day, whether it was newspapers or the Internet. Soon it was hyped up again.

"The one-week sales record of the physical book in Guangzhou/Dongxing Province has been broken - made in Suwen!" This is a relatively terrifying headline, and it is reported by some small newspapers that are good with it in the "Yuezhou Evening News".

The title is so big that it can almost scare people to death. However, it was selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and after reading it, I realized that it was a sales week record for people under the age of 20.

"The first young genius of literature made an extraordinary move, and the physical book sales broke the record in the first week!" These are some of the titles on the Internet, and they also use the biggest names to make the biggest gimmicks.

In their article, Su Wen is the star of Wenqu - everyone said so anyway. They didn't quote it in a disciplined way.

This report looks like an advertorial, except for mentioning Su Wen's name. It is more about how gratifying the sales of "Romeo and Juliet" are, which are very popular with market readers, and that it is a classic love story that can become eternal spiritual food for mankind.

In a word, take advantage of this east wind to completely hype up the fame of "Romeo and Juliet". Let people outside the Canton/Dongxing province also know that there is such a book on sale.

After the hype of these media, the effect is leveraged.

Readers who read the newspaper report called the fresh culture company to ask where the book was sold, and said that they wanted to buy it and take a look.

Readers of the Internet are more direct, just leave a comment below the article:

"I'm a big Guang/Dong really talented. The first day of the teenager is worthy of his name, and he is a fledgling, that is, he broke the record! ”

"Congratulations to me Su Dada for breaking the record, and I wish the new book a big hit, and the sales will continue to rise like sesame seeds!"

"Suwen? Which Suwen? Is that the person who won the first place in the Chinese middle school students' literature contest? He also writes plays? We don't have this book for sale! ”

"It is said that it is only sold in a few southern provinces, and we have not seen any trace of this book in the north."

"Strongly protest against the geographical discrimination of booksellers! Why can people in the south see Su Wen's works for the first time, and our students in the north can only look at it! ”

"Agree with the protest upstairs! Anyway, what kind of cultural company is this, and it can't even be sold in the north, so you guys are too inferior. Isn't this a pit for our idol Su Wen! ”

People on the Internet are generally younger, and they know Su Wen more through the middle school student competition, and the first place every year must be known by middle school students across the country, and outstanding people can become the idols of these people.

Su Wen is known as the most outstanding first place in recent years, and his articles have been published in the monthly magazine "Chinese Literature", which has been recognized by the most authoritative and professional people, and has naturally become the idol of many young people.

Now, it's more students in the north who are shouting about unfairness and bad things about cultural companies.

Faced with such a situation, Li Xiuying was both happy and ashamed. Because these people are right, their fresh culture company is indeed imperfect, and they have dragged Su Wen back in this matter.

Now she kind of understands why Su Wen cooperated with Matrix Culture Company on the new work - although it is only a provincial branch, but people can rely on the channels of the head office to really make wonderful content, and they can also operate through these channels in other parts of the country and become their achievements.

Su Wen cooperated with the other party, probably not wanting to put all his eggs in the same basket.

After figuring this out, Li Xiuying quickly stepped up her efforts to contact other booksellers in China, even if she gave up more benefits, she had to spread out the channels first, after all, "Romeo and Juliet" is now in a hot situation, and she will take the opportunity to sell more and make a profit.

One market prospect is promising, and the other is willing to make profits, and soon other booksellers in China reached a cooperation agreement with Fresh Culture Company to sell "Romeo and Juliet" further.

Soon, the physical book of Romeo and Juliet appeared in major bookstores across the country! (To be continued......)
