Chapter 143: The Hot Sale of "Empty Same".
This time it was not in the editor-in-chief's office, and the editorial office of the starting point provided a small conference room for the three of them.
When Xiao Liu saw Chen Ping again, there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes, but his expression was more rigorous. After reading out Shanda's requirements for this game adaptation again, he took the initiative to sit aside, and the rest of the things were not something he could participate in, so he left it to someone who could call the shots.
Li Bing nodded slightly after hearing this, and took the initiative to say: "The requirements are indeed a bit strict, if I am a mortal, I can't accept it." By the way, mortals are great, I saw the news that "Kongtong" was on sale the day before yesterday, when will we start selling here, I'm a fan of "Kongtong". ”
This girl is very good at talking, at least Chen Ping felt very comfortable after listening to it, and the atmosphere of the conversation between the two began to become relaxed, not as formal as yesterday, as if it was an exchange between readers and authors, it seems that Shanda Company really paid attention to the selection of personnel.
"It should be around the 10th, and there should be sales in major bookstores across the country."
Li Bing nodded and said, "That's good, I'll have to buy a copy at that time, and I'll have to trouble mortals to sign it for me." Seeing that Chen Ping's expression was very peaceful, Li Bing said again: "Do mortals have any opinions, or requirements, on the game adaptation of "Immortal Rebellion"? You can say that if it is beneficial to the game adaptation of "Immortal Rebellion", our company will definitely properly consider the big opinions. ”
The main drama is still coming.
Chen Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was thinking quickly in his heart, and said unhurriedly: "I don't have any requirements, but I have a few opinions." ”
"You say." Hear Chen Ping's words. Li Bing took out a small notepad from his briefcase, sat upright opposite Chen Ping, and prepared to record. This move made Chen Ping very satisfied, who doesn't want to be taken seriously than others?
"I suggested that Shanda select a few employees who understand the main plot and characters of Immortal Rebellion to participate in the game adaptation. If the employees of Shanda really don't have the time to read this kind of boring online novel, they may wish to issue a call inspiration on the starting point Chinese network, and select a few senior readers from the majority of book friends to participate in the work, so that not only can more haode adapt the game, but also collect the player's recognition of the adaptation idea from the perspective of readers and players. ”
Li Bing recorded quickly, saw Chen Ping pause, raised his head and smiled: "On behalf of Shanda Company, I said to you daoqian, yesterday was our employee who made inappropriate remarks, please forgive me." Your suggestion is very good, I will submit it to the leadership. ”
Chen Ping nodded and continued: "Also, since it is adapted into an online game, to put it bluntly, it is to earn money from gamers. The game adapted from the online novel is not only to take advantage of the popularity that the online novel already has, but also to attract more readers to play the game, so the reader's opinion is still very important. Try to create a few questionnaires to collect the plot and copy construction that readers are interested in. ”
"Zuihou, I can help with the development of the game appropriately, but I definitely can't spare a lot of time to participate. Because I still have to write a book. ”
After Li Bing finished recording, he put down the notepad and pen in his hand, and then looked at Chen Ping and said with a smile: "The great suggestion of mortals is very pertinent!" I'm also a reader of "Immortal Rebellion". I've also heard other readers say that two people will have two different feelings when they watch "Immortal Rebellion". A hundred people watching "Immortal Rebellion" will definitely resonate. But everyone's touching points are still different. For the game adaptation of "Immortal Rebellion", our company will do its best to make this game well, and strive to let all readers and players find their own interests in the game, which is our goal and our original intention. ”
"The opinions of mortals still need to be studied by the upper leaders, now let Xiao Liu tell mortals about our company's buyout price agreement for the game adaptation rights of "Immortal Rebellion", right?"
Chen Ping nodded, and Xiao Liu took out a document from his bag again.
"Our company has greatly provided mortals with two buyout methods, one is a direct buyout with cash, and the other is a small amount of cash plus game revenue dividends. Cash outright buyout, we give a price of one million; In the dividend model, we are ready to take out 200,000 yuan, and then add 0.5% of the revenue of the game "Immortal Rebellion", and the dividend period is three years after the game is listed. Glancing at Chen Ping and finding that he did not show dissatisfaction, Xiao Liu continued: "For the buyout of the game adaptation persuasion, the company still has two requirements that require the great cooperation of mortals. ”
"Tell me about it."
"Mortals need to actively cooperate with the pre-promotion of "Immortal Rebellion", and when needed, they must participate in some on-site promotion activities. Another one, after the development of the game is completed, mortals should greatly lead your fan group, that is, the Mortal Alliance, to appear in the game, so as to drive the interest of players even more. ”
Promotion and publicity are necessary, which involves Chen Ping's face. If "Immortal Rebellion" is developed, no one will play it, and it will not only be Shanda that will lose face. This is perfectly acceptable, but to lead the Mortal League to appear in the game, this request is a bit far-fetched.
Not to mention whether Chen Ping has time to play games at that time, the Mortal League is a group of mortal book fans, not a group of brainless fans, it is not Chen Ping who raised his arms and shouted, they unconditionally followed themselves to act.
"The buyout price you gave is a bit low, and I would prefer to buy out directly with cash."
A trace of surprise flashed on Li Bing's face, the cash buyout price was a huge one million, and mortals were actually too few. But then I thought of the current income of mortals, and my heart was a lot calmer.
"The price is set by the company's top management, and we have no right to change it without authorization, but we will convey the great meaning of mortals to the company's leaders. What do mortals think about the two requirements in the buyout agreement? ”
Others may not know, but Chen Ping knows that the prices given by several online novels adapted by Shanda in his previous life are more than one million, and the least is as much as one and a half million, and there must be room for maneuver.
"Publicity and promotion can be done, but it is related to the requirements of the Mortal League's book friends, and I can't agree to it now, after all, I can't represent the entire Mortal League alone. I can do my best to convince my book lovers that it's up to them how many of them want to play the game. ”
Li Bing nodded, and the two sides exchanged opinions on the most critical part of the adaptation, which is already a great progress, now it is only necessary to submit the opinions of mortals, and let the company leaders decide whether to agree with the opinions of mortals.
After Li Bing left, Chen Ping came to the editor-in-chief's office alone. I said the few suggestions I just put forward again, focusing on the time when the starting point Chinese network launched a call for book friends.
The editor-in-chief's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he kept nodding and praising the perfection of Chen Ping's suggestion, which can not only reflect the importance of the website to book friends, but also allow book friends to participate in the game adaptation, which is absolutely unprecedented, and it can be regarded as adding hype to the starting point Chinese network.
The editor-in-chief was also concerned about the progress of the publication of Chen Ping's "Kongtong", and when he heard that it was going to be officially sold on the 10th, the editor-in-chief also promised to help promote the new book on the front page of the starting point.
The benefits are mutual!
After waiting at home for two days, tomorrow is the day when "Kongtong" will be on sale, Chen Ping has great confidence in Kongtong, he always feels that he will give himself a proof tomorrow, maybe it will be a big surprise.
The next day, Li Jing called and told Chen Ping that "Kongtong" had officially landed in major bookstores across the country at 8 a.m. and began to officially sell it. After getting the news, Chen Ping couldn't help but walk out of the door, found a relatively large Xinhua bookstore nearby and walked in.
"Boss, is there a mortal who wrote "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant"? I want two. ”
"Give me a copy of "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant."
"I want a copy."
……
Because today is the weekend, there are not a few customers in the bookstore, and it is even a little crowded, and as soon as I walked into the bookstore, I heard many people clamoring for "Days of Living with a Flight Attendant".
The special counter specially opened for "Kongtong" was full of readers who bought books, and the boss and the two service staff were a little too busy, but the boss's face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, and he grinned.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ping decisively turned around and left, he knew that this was just the beginning.
In the morning, Chen Ping went to three or four bookstores, and almost every bookstore had readers around the table to buy "Kongtong", and one of them even appeared that after "Kongtong" was sold out, readers were indomitable, and Zuihou bought "Xianyi" on the shelf.
At noon, Li Jing called again.
"Haha, in the morning, the first printing of 100,000 copies was sold out, and bookstores around the country asked for additional printing. The machines of the printing factory did not stop from the moment the call was received, and the owner of the printing factory also paid three times the price of the printing workers' wages. It's unimaginable, it's really hard to imagine. It seems that your signing session will have to be prepared in advance. ”
Chen Ping laughed silently, and then told Li Jing to tell the publishing house that the signing meeting would start from several first-tier cities in China, and the first station would be set in S City.
Hanging up Li Jing's phone, Chen Ping shared the good news with Huang Qian, and then rushed home non-stop, wanting to take Huang Qian out for a big meal.
On this day, many domestic media noticed the abnormal situation in bookstores in various places, and the reporters sent down to find out the ins and outs of the incident wrote articles as soon as possible.
The next morning, there was a hot sale of "The Days of Living with a Flight Attendant" in the morning newspapers of many cities, and some people who didn't know the book also rushed to the bookstore to inquire about the book after seeing the newspaper, but they were all told by the bookstore that the book was sold out and the new goods had not arrived.
After truly realizing the scarcity of this book, many clever readers have searched for "Kongtong" on the Internet, and the starting point online version of "Kongtong" was found out only after people found out that it was an unfinished edition.
It's not good for readers to be secretly annoyed, but they clicked on the online version of "Kongtong" with the intention that something is better than nothing, and at this point, "Kongtong", which has been stopped for a long time, once again appeared on the click list on the homepage of the starting point.
