Chapter 7 Doubling sales
At ten o'clock in the morning, Qi Ming rubbed his head and got up.
I slept too late last night, so Qi Ming turned his phone to silent so as not to be disturbed.
After finishing washing, Qi Ming took out his mobile phone from the bedside, and then lit up the screen.
The screen lights up, and more than a dozen missed calls are particularly eye-catching on the screen.
When I opened it, the dozen or so missed calls were all from Gu Qingyuan.
"What's wrong?" Qi Ming thought uncertainly, and then dialed back.
As soon as the earpiece sounded, Gu Qingyuan's voice came over.
"You can be regarded as having a letter, but no one answered after making more than a dozen phone calls." Gu Qingyuan said excitedly over there.
"I slept late last night and rushed to get some drafts." Qi Ming replied slightly apologetically.
"There's a new draft? Don't say anything first, hurry up and take a trip to the company, otherwise you say the address, and I will drive to pick you up. Gu Qingyuan immediately said excitedly after hearing this.
"I'll go by myself and have some breakfast on the way." Qi Ming said.
Listening to Qi Ming's calm tone, Gu Qingyuan really admired the five-body cast, his book was released for the first time, and he was still so calm, which made Gu Qingyuan not admire.
Turning around and looking at the busy company employees outside the office, listening to the phone that kept ringing, Gu Qingyuan was silent......
Hanging up the phone, Qi Ming went downstairs to buy breakfast, and then took the bus to the Rock Publishing House.
As soon as he got out of the car and arrived at the door of the publishing house, Gu Qingyuan excitedly ran up and grabbed Qi Ming's hand, which looked like he had seen a big person.
"Brother Qi, I'm crazy about how old you are, I'll call you that in the future, don't mind." Gu Qingyuan took Qi Ming's hand and said.
Qi Ming smiled and said, "Brother Gu said that, I should call you big brother." ”
Gu Qingyuan immediately laughed after hearing this, and then pulled Qi Ming into the publishing house.
When the lady at the front desk of the publishing house saw Qi Ming coming in, she hurriedly brought a cup of hot water and put it on the coffee table, her eyes full of admiration.
Qi Ming was pulled down by Gu Qingyuan and sat down on the sofa, and then Gu Qingyuan took out a pen and said, "Brother Qi, have you forgotten what day it is?" ”
Qi Ming heard it and said, "June 1st, Children's Day, and at the same time, it is also the day when the first day of eagle shooting is reported." ”
"I thought you forgot that." Gu Qingyuan said.
Then Gu Qingyuan took out a notebook and said, "Guess what is the sales volume as of eight o'clock today?" ”
"I'm also the first time a big girl has been married, and I really can't guess." Qi Ming said with a smile.
Qi Ming knew that the Condor would be a big seller, but Qi Ming really couldn't guess how much, because Qi Ming didn't know about the sales in this world at all.
"Our Huatong City, sales of 30,000 copies of third-rate newspapers, 50,000 copies of second-rate newspapers, 100,000 copies of first-class newspapers, and before, our newspaper's rock newspapers and periodicals have never sold more than 30,000 copies, but after the revision of the martial arts newspaper, how much do you think it can sell today?" Gu Qingyuan explained to Qi Ming.
Qi Ming thought for a while and said, "There should be 30,000 copies, after all, it was vigorously promoted a few days ago, presumably anyone who sees the propaganda will buy the first issue and take a look." ”
The first chapter of Condor Shooting was a little bland, so Qi Ming didn't have much confidence, so he guessed a moderate number in his heart.
"Thirty thousand! You are too underestimate your Condor shooting, we printed a total of 50,000 copies last night, and 35,000 copies were directly distributed this morning, and 15,000 are still flowing, so as not to sell out too early in some places. ”
"At first we were skeptical that we would be able to sell out 35,000 copies, but guess what, it only took more than two hours for all 35,000 copies to be sold out, and there were out-of-stock everywhere."
"So we sold all the remaining 15,000 copies, and by now, 50,000 copies have almost been sold." Gu Qingyuan said excitedly.
50,000 copies, that is the level of second-rate newspapers and periodicals in Huatong City. This is already a leap forward for the rock newspapers and periodicals that have not sold more than 30,000 copies for a long time, and they have been directly promoted from a third-rate newspaper to a second-rate newspaper.
Qi Ming was also a little surprised that it could sell so well, but he was not too surprised, after all, the eagle shooting in his previous life was extremely brilliant.
Although Mr. Jin Yong has written many novels, in terms of popularity and popularity, Condor shooting is undoubtedly ranked first, so it is reasonable to be able to cause such a large sales on the first day of this world.
"Editor-in-chief Gu, I just got the news that all 50,000 copies of today's newspaper are sold out, and the martial arts newspaper has increased from less than 200 original rock newspapers and periodicals to 5,000, a direct increase of 25 times." A clerk who answered the phone said.
With a "snap", Gu Qingyuan's excited pen was broken after hearing this, and his face was red with excitement.
"The predetermined amount is five thousand, Brother Qi, you are really the savior of my newspaper." Gu Qingyuan looked at Qi Ming and said excitedly.
"You are also my savior, if you were not willing to publish my book, I am afraid I would have drunk the northwest wind." Qi Ming replied.
For Gu Qingyuan, Qi Ming is grateful, if Gu Qingyuan didn't give him a chance, then he would only have to go outside Huatong City to take a look, although he wouldn't really drink the northwest wind, but it was ironclad that he didn't have a good life now.
"By the way, in addition to this, I have one more thing to tell you, about film and television adaptations." Gu Qingyuan suddenly thought of this, so he hurriedly said.
Qi Ming was a little surprised to hear this, it was certain that the Condor would adapt the film and television, but Qi Ming didn't expect it to be so soon.
"I don't know which company?" Qi Ming asked.
"Naturally, it's our own company, I showed your manuscript to a friend of mine in Fenghua Film and Television, he is the manager of the publicity department of Fenghua Film and Television, and he is very interested in your condor." Gu Qingyuan said.
Then Gu Qingyuan said, "If Brother Qi also has the will in this regard, then I think we can take some time to talk together." ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Gu." Qi Ming thought for a while and said.
Qi Ming will definitely do it if he wants to change the Condor Shooting into film and television, but if he wants to complete it independently, it is basically impossible, first of all, funding is a big problem.
Then there is the problem of shooting, this Qi Ming has no experience at all, so if you want to shoot the eagle now, the best way is to find someone to invest.
Of course, if the other party's conditions do not meet Qi Ming's expectations, Qi Ming will never agree to sell the film and television rights of Condor shooting, after all, he no longer worries about eating and drinking.
Hearing Qi Ming's promise, Gu Qingyuan immediately made a phone call.
Hanging up the phone, Gu Qingyuan said that he had made an appointment with Mr. Wu of Fenghua Film and Television to meet next Sunday, and Qi Ming would come here at that time.
Qi Ming naturally agreed, and then handed over the fifth chapter of the Condor Shooting [Bending the Bow and the Condor Shooting] and the sixth chapter [Cliff Top Doubtful Array] to Gu Qingyuan.
These two chapters are considered a high and tide, first Guo Jing killed two birds with one stone, and then followed Ma Yu to learn martial arts, and fought with several masters, and was accepted by Genghis Khan as a golden sword and horse, and then followed the six monsters to leave the desert.
At this point, the first volume of the Iron Blood Pill is over.
Gu Qingyuan took the manuscript handed over by Qi Ming, and then hurriedly opened it and read it.
At this glance, I forgot the time and sank into it completely.
After a long time, Gu Qingyuan came back from the condor shooting, and his face was still full of unfinished color.
"Look at me...... How did you forget Brother Qi. After Gu Qingyuan came to his senses, he suddenly thought of Qi Ming, and immediately said embarrassedly.
Qi Ming smiled and said, "I have all the tea and pastries here, Brother Gu is too worried." ”
Gu Qingyuan laughed after hearing this, and then said excitedly, "I finally understand the meaning of this name, it turns out that the Condor Shooting is from this chapter." ”
"Also, I decided, I'll let people change the signboard outside me later, and then go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to change the name, and in the future, I will call it the Martial Arts Publishing House, I can feel it, Brother Qi, you have really created a new genre."
"This Condor Shooting Book, not only has a historical background to rely on, but also a fascinating plot, as well as love, family affection, and martial arts, I am convinced, I have read the novel for so many years, Brother Qi, this is the first time that I feel that what I used to read was scum."
Regarding Gu Qingyuan's thought, Qi Ming didn't feel inappropriate, but felt that it was good.
Martial Arts Publishing House, only in this way can the word martial arts be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Rock Publishing House, which changed its name, will also become the first person to eat crabs.
Then Gu Qingyuan handed over the remuneration to Qi Ming this time, and then began to discuss the date of publication, and when everything was negotiated, Qi Ming got up and left.
