Chapter 154: Where is it now?
In mid-February 2ooo, the novel "The Legend of Wukong", which was signed by the small partner company, began to spread out with all its might.
The novel was signed in January, and revision, typesetting and printing had already been completed before the Chinese New Year.
The books were piled up in the company's warehouse, and the sales plan was only started after the Chinese New Year.
"The Legend of Wukong" can be called the first generation of Chinese online literary works, and the biggest difference with later online literary works is that this work does not form an obvious routine.
Even if "The Legend of Wukong" is watched in a few more years, it will definitely not be as amazing as it was at the beginning, and it can even find a bunch of faults. However, I still can't hide the advantages in this work!
For example, in addition to some ideas, Wang Qinian copied some classic sentences in "The Legend of Wukong" in advance, which also had a little effect.
And in this distorted world, "The Legend of Wukong" has become a tribute to Wang Qinian's work.
It is precisely for this reason that Wang Qinian is very much in favor of the guilt of what is now, and he is very much in favor of the full packaging of what is now, and pushes his fame to a new height!
With Wang Qinian's acquiescence, the printing of "The Legend of Wukong" has reached as many as 1o thousand, which is already a very large amount of money in terms of a cautious partner company.
Under normal circumstances, the publications of small partner companies are printed at 10,000 yuan each time, and whether to print them in the future is based on market conditions.
This kind of strategy. Let the publishing business of the small partner company, there is very little overstock. Basically, after the inventory dumping, the funds are continuously invested, and the sales are carried out in batches.
The cost of printing may be more than a one-time printing, but it is obviously wiser to pay a little more to avoid the loss caused by the unsalable work.
"2ooo years of Chinese Internet literature, an epoch-making masterpiece, where is "The Legend of Wukong"! The classic "Journey to the West" story. A story that has been praised by the great director Wang Qinian. An alternative script for the sequel to "Journey to the West: The Great Sage"! ”
This series of praises is written on the cover of "The Legend of Wukong".
In addition, the partner company also made full use of the company's star effect, when "The Legend of Wukong" was published. Please the company's stars. Collectively write a message to this work to build momentum.
on the Internet. The water army of the little partner company suddenly blew "The Legend of Wukong" into a rare one in the sky and one in the ground. Many bubble forums. It's hard not to know about this work.
"This work follows the trend, it seems to be the same person of the two movies "Journey to the West" and "The Great Sage"!"
"Even if it's a fan.,It's very awesome! Jin He's talent has been appreciated by Wang Qinian! ”
"Is Wang Qinian's praise awesome?"
"Damn, if Wang Qinian's praise is not enough, Yang Weiwei, Li Jie, Huang Haibo, Zhang Jingjing and a bunch of other stars are praising this novel for being good-looking."
"These celebrities are all from small partner companies, they are in a group!"
"Do you care if he is in a gang or not, if the work is not good, it is worthy of the boast of so many big directors and superstars?"
In fact, the main impact of this wave of publicity is not the fans on the Internet. In fact, how many netizens were there on the Internet at the beginning of 2ooo?
Even if you take into account all the Internet users in Internet cafes, there are only five or six million people at most. Even one-tenth of netizens have watched "The Legend of Wukong". For every ten people who have read the online version, one is willing to buy for the physical book, which is estimated to be very difficult.
However, after the Internet creates a huge public opinion momentum, it will attract some media to stupidly report the hype on the Internet as news, so as to expand the exposure of the incident.
In addition, in most of the book store channels in China, bookstore owners follow the trend of purchases. I've heard of that work, and the author is quite famous, so I might buy it. And the owner of the bookstore, who has not heard the name, will naturally hesitate.
A wave of superb hype has increased the confidence of merchants and bookstore owners in this work.
Coupled with the quality of the book "The Legend of Wukong", it is very reliable. Therefore, before February 28, the 10,000 copies of "The Legend of Wukong" have been carved up by major book companies.
After the sudden fire, he naturally has to bear the obligation. For example, book signings are held in some places in BJ City.
After just returning from the signing meeting, he visited the partner company by the way.
Chen Sanqiang, editor-in-chief of the publishing division, is accompanied by the future.
After all, now there are not many original creators under the hands of the small partner company, and now He Zai may be the best-selling writer that the company can really get his hands on except for the boss and his wife.
Of course, the integrated operation mode of entertainment of the small partner company is also easy for the author to think about it. When I wrote a popular book, I began to consider whether it was worth adapting!
"Mr. Chen, do you think my book "The Legend of Wukong" is expected to be adapted into a film and television drama?" Jin He asked.
"This ......," Chen Sanqiang said, "it's hard to say, it's all possible." ”
took Jin He to visit the company, and soon after, the two came to a corner of the company.
"That's?" Jin He asked.
"Journey to the West Division!" Chen Sanqiang said, "Our company may be the only company that plans to operate Journey to the West as an industry." The boss is very optimistic about the cultural value of "Journey to the West", and is not satisfied with making one or two Journey to the West movies or publishing a few books related to Journey to the West. According to the boss's ambition, if Journey to the West is done well, our company may become China's version of Disney! ”
"China's version of Disney?!" When he heard the words, he also felt excited.
Soon after, the two stopped outside the office door of the Journey to the West Division.
"Boss, you're there!" Chen Sanqiang said respectfully, "Let me introduce to you, where is this author of "The Legend of Wukong"!" ”
"Where is it now?" Wang Qinian looked at this shy man with glasses and said, "It's not simple, China's first generation of online writers!" In the future, after the exhibition of Chinese Internet literature, people will summarize the history of Internet literature, and they will definitely mention where and "The Legend of Wukong" are here! ”
"Online literature?" He was stunned now.
In fact, there are really few online literature writers in the first generation who are optimistic about online literature. Basically, after most of them became famous, they went to publishing, comics, games, film and television, and so on.
In another ten years, when they read online literature again, they will all be dumbfounded, and this industry will quickly emerge. Xun's market is bigger than traditional fiction publishing.
You must know that the entire domestic publishing market was only tens of billions of yuan, including textbooks, reference books, newspapers and periodicals, and so on. Purely based on the novel publishing market, Weilun's annual output value is estimated to be only more than 5o billion yuan, and the expansion is very slow.
In the PC era, online novels still look up to traditional publishing, but after the smartphone era, the market share of online literature has quickly surpassed that of traditional publishing. In addition, whether it is the export to overseas markets, or the adaptation of games, film and television, comics, animation, dramas, etc., online literature has shown a flourish.
To put it simply, in terms of the number of people who rely on writing to make a living, the capacity of online literature is definitely greater than that of the traditional publishing industry.
After seeing what he is now, Wang Qinian's heart began to have an inspiration - invest in online literature! Well, isn't this a good time to invest in online literature? (To be continued!)
