Chapter 129: The Big Sale
Compared with "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", all editors are more optimistic about "Zhu Xian", although "Zhu Xian" can be regarded as creating a new genre, but it is a sublimation of the original martial arts, and it can still be attributed to martial arts.
But the book "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is set in a modern city, although the plot is good in all aspects, but after all, it is a category that no one has tried, so various editors think that the first volume of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" will not sell very well.
But they don't know that the city is the one with the strongest sense of substitution.
However, after seeing the sales of the first and second volumes of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", Jiang Feng completely changed his mind, it was too unexpected, too shocking, and too incredible.
Because the results of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" are actually better than the sales of "Zhu Xian".
In half a day, the first volume of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" sold 6,366 copies.
In half a day, the second volume of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" sold 5,908 copies.
In other words, the first two volumes of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" may break 10,000 today.
"Print! Hurry up and reprint! β
Jiang Feng didn't even bother to eat, so he immediately contacted the printing company and immediately reprinted the two books.
As for how many copies.
Two volumes of "Zhu Xian", each with 50,000 copies printed.
"The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" two volumes, each printed 60,000 copies.
Ten o'clock in the evening of the same day.
All the editors of Neon Press are not off work, but are waiting for today's sales report.
Finally, at 10:15 a.m., an employee sent in the sales report.
Jiang Feng took the sales report and fell directly on "Zhu Xian" and "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", as for other books, is it still worth paying attention to?
After reading the one-day sales of the two books, Jiang Feng couldn't help but grin.
"Editor-in-chief, how many are there?"
One editor asked curiously.
"Yes, editor-in-chief, tell us about it!"
This time, Jiang Feng didn't sell Guan Zi, coughed and said: "The first volume of "Zhu Xian" sold 10,000 copies all day! β
"Wow!"
Hearing this data, all the editors cheered, because the first printing of "Zhu Xian" was only 10,000 copies, and the sales of 10,000 copies meant that all the books were sold out, although Jiang Feng urged the printing company to print at noon, but it still couldn't catch up with this afternoon's sales, but it could catch up with tomorrow's sales.
Jiang Feng continued to announce: "The second volume of "Zhu Xian" sold 10,000 copies a day. β
The editors cheered again.
"Next, I'll announce the sales of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", the first volume will sell 8,000, and the second volume will also sell 8,000!"
For the book "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", Jiang Feng was full of regrets, originally its sales were already better than "Zhu Xian", but they misjudged the situation and only printed 8,000 copies for the first time.
At the same time, Jiang Feng also admired the author of this book a little more, two completely different types of books can be written so well.
The second day is Saturday.
The sales of the two volumes of "Zhu Xian" reached 25,000 copies.
The sales of the two volumes of "Romance of the Dragon God" really exploded, and the two volumes reached 36,000 copies, with an average sales of 18,000, which completely exceeded the imagination of Neon Press.
If the first two days were only supported by fans of "Zhu Xian" and "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", then the third day was the fermentation of word-of-mouth.
As a result, sales on Sunday are also very good, and they are still rising.
The two volumes of "Zhu Xian" achieved sales of 28,000 copies.
And "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is even more rebellious, the two volumes directly reached 42,000 copies, and in just three days, "The Romance of the Dragon God" became the highest-selling book in a single volume of Neon Publishing House.
At the same time, after three days, the sales of the two four-volume books have exceeded 150,000 copies.
Because the more printing, the lower the printing cost, so, excluding all kinds of expenses, a book, the publishing house has about two yuan of profit, so in just three days, these two books have brought more than 300,000 profits to the publishing house.
Monday.
Sales of "Zhu Xian" and "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" have declined, but not by much.
But on Tuesday, word of mouth fermented again, because the main group of people who bought the books were middle and high school students, and after a day of publicity, many students knew about the existence of the two books.
Because a book is only 6 yuan, and it is only more than 20 yuan to buy four books together, many students buy it together.
As a result, Tuesday's sales increased a lot again.
The two volumes of "Zhu Xian" reached 4,300,000 copies.
The sales of the two volumes of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" reached 56,000 copies.
Saturday.
The best-selling list of the bend week has changed.
The first volume of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" topped the list with 183,000 copies sold, and the strange thing is that the second place is still "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake", and the second volume of "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is the second best-selling weekly list with 181,500 copies.
In third place is the first volume of "Zhu Xian", with a weekly sales of just over 160,000.
In fourth place is "Zhu Xian", but it is the second volume, with sales of 158,000 copies.
Seeing this list, the entire publishing house of Wanwan was almost silent, and after investigating, they found even more strange things, the two books were not only published by the same company, but also by the same author.
Week 2.
The sales of "Zhu Xian" and "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" have declined, but the sales of a single volume have reached more than 100,000 copies.
Neon Press speculates that the two books should sell 400,000 copies a month.
In the first place on last month's best-selling list, the ninth volume of "Demon Swordsman" published by Oolong Publishing House, with a total of 530,000 copies sold last month.
At the weekly meeting, an editor-in-chief suggested to Jiang Feng that the follow-up publication of "Zhu Xian" and "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" should be won, after all, they only signed the first ten volumes.
Another editor-in-chief took aim at Zhou Qing's other book "Buddha is the Way", hoping to win the traditional copyright of the book.
Jiang Feng approved both proposals and handed them over to one of the editors-in-chief to handle the matter.
On the other side, Ziyang High School, the third class of high school.
The head teacher, Deng Gaoming, is strongly emphasizing that there are only 30 days before the college entrance examination, and it is time to burn his ass.
For such words, everyone has long been tired of hearing them, and there is no reaction at all.
Moreover, in this last time, many students have started the final madness, and the crazy result is that there are a few more young couples in the class.
If in the past, they played underground affairs at most, but now that the college entrance examination is still a month away, they have become blatant.
Midday.
Zhou Qing received a call from the Neon Publishing House.
He had expected this, because his readers posted photos of the best-selling list in the book review area, so Zhou Qing knew that his two books had achieved excellent results.
As long as you are not a fool, Neon Press will finalize the follow-up rights of the two books as soon as possible.
Sure enough, on the phone, the other party mentioned the complete traditional Chinese copyright of the two books, saying that it was completely possible to buy 10 copies for 20,000 copies and a 5% split for traditional Chinese publishing.
Although Zhou Qing doesn't know how much Neon Publishing House can earn, but after two weeks of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", the sales of one volume have reached about 300,000, and it should reach 400,000 in January, maybe 500,000 is possible.
Even if a book earns two yuan, one book can bring them a profit of 800,000 to 1 million, and four books can bring them more than 3 million profits.
Moreover, this is just the sales of the bend, once a book is popular, they can also be pushed to Xiangjiang, as well as Southeast Asia.
By that time, the profit will definitely exceed 100 million.
The publishing house earns 100 million, how much can Zhou Qing earn, the publishing house gives him 20,000 manuscript fees and a 5% share, that is to say, if he sells a copy, he will have three cents.
The other party earns 100 million, and Zhou Qing can also get 15 million.
If the other party signed the follow-up publication of the two books at that time, he would not say anything even if he saw that the other party made a lot of money, but you only signed ten copies in order to avoid risks, and now, the book is a big seller, and you still want to sign the remaining copyright at the previous price, is it a little naΓ―ve?
Therefore, Zhou Qing said directly to the other party on the phone: "I don't like bargaining, why don't you discuss it first, and then call me!" β
The other end.
The editor-in-chief couldn't help but sigh deeply after hanging up the phone, he knew that it was not so easy to sign the follow-up rights of the two books.
Soon, the matter was reported to Jiang Feng.
Thinking slightly, Jiang Feng said, we can increase the number of points divided to six percent.
So, the editor-in-chief called Zhou Qing again, and after hearing that the other party only improved by one point, Zhou Qing hung up their phone directly.
Knowing that Zhou Qing's attitude was so arrogant, Jiang Feng was also a little angry, saying that he would ignore Zhou Qing for the time being, and let him dry him for a while.
