Chapter 82 Pre-sale Advance
Lu Xiaosu has been very busy these days.
On the weekend, I first went to record "To Everyone Who Knows My Name", the original singer of this song is Zhao Chuan, the lyricist is Li Zongsheng, who is very high, and there is a cover version Lu Xiaosu also likes it, which is the cover version of Luo Qi in the second season of "I Am a Singer".
Zhao Chuan's singing has a sense of age, and you can feel that it is a song of that era when you listen to it, so the version recorded by Lu Xiaosu is more inclined to the fusion of the two.
Luo Qi, as the number one female rock singer in China, had a perverse personality when she was young, and even broke her appearance in fights, and her eyes were injured. But after years of precipitation, the person became more and more peaceful, especially after she became pregnant. This song was the last song she sang in "I Am a Singer", and because of the child in her belly, she withdrew from the competition after singing.
On Sunday night, Lu Xiaosu uploaded "To Everyone Who Knows My Name", Penguin Music now completely regards Lu Xiaosu as a cash cow, after all, as a freelance musician, Lu Xiaosu's share is only one-third, but Penguin Music makes a lot of money.
Although Lu Xiaosu has only uploaded a few songs this year, the profits brought to Penguin Music are not even worse than those of some first-line singers. After all, the personal share of first-line singers is extremely high, and Penguin Music can only get a small part.
So after the meeting, Penguin Music decided to vigorously support this music geek, and the biggest promotion position on the homepage naturally can't be given, but a smaller position can still be given.
So a very embarrassing scene appeared, in Huang Minghao's "Cold Night", because it was overtaken by Ye Yiqing, its popularity has declined.
On the last day of the list, this song was given the third place by Lu Xiaosu's "To Everyone Who Knows My Name", and I don't know if my butt will hurt if I am repeatedly topped.
Now the top three lyricists and composers on the weekly list are all Lu Xiaosu!
It is foreseeable that after the top two "Dark Fragrance" and "Night Night Night" are off the list, Lu Xiaosu's new songs are likely to reach the top again.
This is also the result that Penguin Music is more willing to see, after all, such a big platform is to make money.
The industry has already spread Lu Xiaosu's god, and many first-line and second-tier singers are even a little unable to sit still, they want to contact Tianfang Entertainment through various channels to see if they can find Lu Xiaosu to invite songs.
Especially the singers under Tianfang Entertainment are very curious about this "future colleague".
What they didn't know was that Lu Xiaosu didn't know about the "fake news" released by Tianfang Entertainment at all.
And the music director Wu Bo has also been distressed recently, and the singers of the company are hinting at him, asking him if he can let Lu Xiaosu write a song for them, yes, one song is enough. Wu Bo is very depressed, Lao Tzu is the music director, okay!
And these are not the real reasons why Lu Xiaosu is busy, the reason why he is busy is because he has a lot of signatures to sign.
"Dragon 1: Dawn of Fire" will officially hit the shelves on November 1st, and before that, there will be a pre-sale a week in advance. Ning Ying gave Lu Xiaosu a task, which was to sign 1,500 books.
A total of 30,000 copies are ready to be put on the shelves for this pre-sale, and the winning rate of one-twentieth of signatures is neither high nor low.
Banyan Publishing House is actually not too optimistic about Lu Xiaosu's "Dragon Family", in their opinion, the pre-sale of 30,000 copies is completely enough. I don't expect to be swept away, and if I can sell about 10,000 copies, everyone will be happy.
10,000 copies, this is still for the sake of Lu Xiaosu's recent popularity.
Even Ning Ying, the editor-in-chief, felt that 30,000 copies were enough. After all, only 200,000 copies of the first printing were printed.
Looking at the thick boxes of books in front of him, Lu Xiaosu's right hand began to tremble slightly.
"Fortunately, my father named me Lu Xiaosu, if I had more comparisons and called Lu Yusui, I might really have to take a pen name." Lu Xiaosu said depressedly.
The signature alone is actually only 4,500 words, but the main thing is that he needs to take the book out of the box, put it on the table, sign it, and then put the book back.
Such a thick book, very heavy, okay?
Paralysized, after a whole set of processes, Lu Xiaosu felt that life was worse than death for the whole week.
Hurry up and die if you sign a meeting or something, Lu Xiaosu decided that he would not hold any signing meetings in his life. The signing will be more troublesome, he has to shake hands after signing, and sometimes he has to take pictures with readers, and he feels that his body will be hollowed out a hundred times when he thinks about it.
In the past few days, Su Lingxi occasionally chatted with Lu Xiaosu, Lu Xiaosu typed with trembling hands, and then simply sent a voice message to Su Lingxi.
His voice was deep and magnetic, and the charm of his voice was even more amplified through WeChat voice, and every time Su Lingxi listened to it, he felt that this person should indeed sing.
"Mission accomplished!" Lu Xiaosu collapsed on the bed, looking at the thick pile of books in front of him, he was thinking, or don't write books in the future.
But what he didn't know was that because Lu Xiaosu didn't hold a signing meeting later, and insisted on not giving away signed books randomly during the pre-sale, only a few lucky people got Lu Xiaosu's signed book, and the price of this 1,500 copies of "Dragon 1" rose wildly, and even some fanatics bought it at a price of thousands of yuan, so it may not be possible to buy it.
"Hey, Aunt Ning." Lu Xiaosu received a call from Ning Ying.
Ning Ying's soft voice made people numb on the phone, but there was a trace of tiredness in her voice: "Xiao Su, I'm sorry." ”
Lu Xiaosu got up from the bed and asked, "What's wrong, Aunt Ning." ”
"The top management of the publishing house had a meeting in the past few days, and although I strongly opposed it, in the end they decided to let "Dragon Family" go on sale early." Ning Ying sighed helplessly.
Lu Xiaosu was silent for a while, of course he knew what this meant, it was nothing more than that he had spent a lot of money on the promotion of "Dragon Family" recently, and now the publishing house decided not to invest money, and he was reluctant!
Banyan Publishing House's approach is indeed a bit unauthentic, but to be honest, at Ning Ying's insistence, Banyan Publishing House still spent a lot of money on promotion. Last time, Lu Xiaosu went to Huaxin Bookstore to buy records, and he saw a huge poster posted up.
Of course, these are not the main reasons. After all, Ning Ying is a veteran of Banyan Publishing House, and she has invested so much money in the early stage, so there is no need to be so faceless. The main reason is that Lu Xiaosu has been too good at tossing recently, whether it is those rock songs or Ye Yiqing's new songs, although Lu Xiaosu is not in the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes are full of his legends.
The publishing house decided to take advantage of the popularity of Lu Xiaosu recently, and took advantage of Lu Xiaosu's recent high topic, so he first took out "Dragon Family" for pre-sale.
However, it is obvious that Banyan Publishing House has no bottom in its own heart, and it is the first time to transform into selling this kind of novel, and Lu Xiaosu is still a newcomer, who knows how much it can sell?
These Lu Xiaosu can actually understand it, and he is grateful to Ning Ying.
"It's okay Aunt Ning, I want to thank you, it's been really hard Aunt Ning this time." Lu Xiaosu smiled.
"Alas, Xiao Su, don't you know, there is a new book to be put on the shelves on October 20th." Ning Ying rubbed her eyebrows in distress.
"Which one?" Lu Xiaosu said casually.
Ning Ying could hear the lightness and casualness in his tone, the big boy was as confident as ever, and even a little conceited.
"Ronghua's super popular web novel, "The Strong and Young in the City".
Lu Xiaosu, who was drinking water, almost sprayed water, it turned out that there was a web novel to be published?
He knows very well that the online novels in this world are still in the era when Long Aotian is popular, and the protagonist is invincible and strong as soon as he appears, and there is no fun in upgrading and practicing at all. This "Urban Strong and Young", listening to the name, I feel that there are a lot of poisonous points.
"You don't seem to be worried at all? Let me tell you, this book is among the top three in online novels. Ning Ying was a little dissatisfied.
"It's okay, it's a big deal that I'll write another book "The Strongest Abandons the Young" to crush him." Lu Xiaosu complained softly.
"What? I didn't hear it just now. Ning Ying said on the phone.
Lu Xiaosu shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject: "Aunt Ning, I have signed all the signatures, you can send someone over to pick them up." ”
Ning Ying was helpless, she could feel that the big boy didn't pay attention to it at all, and she didn't know whether to comfort herself or really be confident in her book.
Of course Lu Xiaosu doesn't matter, have you ever heard of "My life is up to me, not to the sky"? Have you ever heard of "My Monks, Why Fear a War"? Have you ever heard of the old sword god's "sword come"?
The online pretending novels of this time and space are too tender compared to the earth! After all, I'm a big bad copyist!
