Chapter 529: Popular Novelist

"Jingle Bell~~"

I went home to rest for a while, took the recent company's work log and looked at it, and the phone rang at home.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Xuluo's mind, and he guessed that the person who called was the one who gave him a Ferrari.

"Hello?"

"Hey~~"

Sure enough, a woman's voice came from the other side of the phone, and the accent was a little awkward, and when I heard it, I knew it was from Xiangjiang.

Xuluo naturally heard it immediately, "Lady! Are you back? ”

"I've been back a long time ago~~"

Sister Zhao laughed over there, "But didn't you join the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I didn't bother you." ”

To tell the truth, after Zhao Yazhi came back from Hawaii and settled the child, the first thing he did was to run to the small apartment to call Xuluo, but Xuluo didn't answer.

After several times, she made a serious call to Luofeng Film and Television Beijing Branch, and Huzi told her the reason.

"The crew on our side is different, but it's very strict when we go in, and there's no way ......to get out," Xu Luo first talked to Zhao Yazhi for a while, and then said: "But I came out today, because I don't know which stupid little lady actually gave me a Ferrari, isn't this encouraging me to pick up girls?" ”

The beautiful big sister suddenly became furious: "You dare~~"

"Hahaha!"

Xuluo couldn't help but laugh, sure enough, she was right!

After laughing, the young man said: "Lady, I have earned so much money, and I want to buy you something, but you don't want to...... Now you're turning your head and giving me a sports car, how can I stand it? I can't wait to repay my lady's love with my body. ”

"Phew~~"

She was afraid of hurting her lover's heart, so she hurriedly added: "I still have three TV series waiting for me to shoot here, so busy...... You have time to come to Hong Kong! ”

Xuluo was really disappointed.

Compared to Ferrari, he is of course more rare than the White Lady.

After chatting for a while and hanging up the phone, Xuluo began to think about what gift he should give back to Zhao Yazhi.

She wouldn't want to buy a house or something.

Don't look at Sister Zhao, she looks soft and weak, and once she is close to Xuluo, she will lose her resistance, but she doesn't like the things that want Xuluo.

Even the place where the two of them achieved good deeds was the small apartment that the White Lady bought herself.

Speaking of which, unless it's something she likes very much and is very memorable, with her character, she still won't accept it.

What does Sister Zhao like, Xuluo is really not good at asking others.

Otherwise, who is not a smart person, you ask others about this inexplicably, and people will immediately know that your relationship with her is different.

When the time comes, if you don't have to be exposed, you have to be exposed.

I can only think about it slowly.

But this matter was in a hurry, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't know what to do, so Xuluo simply put it down first and looked at another piece of information.

This information is a summary, talking about Xuluo's publication of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was distributed in Xiangjiang and other places by "Ming Pao Publishing House", but the mainland copyright was not given to them.

Since the beginning of last year, the "Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which was serialized in "Ming Pao", began to sweep the Chinese martial arts market in Southeast Asia, and so far the single book has released 18 episodes, with a total sales of more than 50 million copies, and even European and American Chinese have a large number of purchases.

It can be said that this is another peak of martial arts since the death of Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng.

Although countless Chinese book fans from all over the world called "Ming Pao" and scolded them, asking them to publish it quickly, Jin Yong, who relied on "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to directly publish more than 1.5 million copies of "Ming Pao", didn't care about this.

The more you scold, the happier I am.

Since it's so fragrant outside the wall, isn't there no movement inside the wall?

This year, everyone is engaged in the economy, and the publishing house also wants to generate income!

"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is so powerful and sells so well, there is no reason for domestic publishing houses not to know, and there is no reason not to be impressed.

The publishing house that published "Alive" originally wanted to have a good talk with Xuluo, but who knew that Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House relied on Xuluo to be a Shuchuan person, and it was the first to start, and directly when Xuluo filmed "The Legend of the New White Lady" last year, he first got Xuluo's aunt Shen Qing, and then directly won the copyright in one go.

Don't think that there is only favors, people won it at a high price, and they issued a royalty that the mainland did not have - 10%!

It means that if the book sells for 10 yuan, they have to give Xuluo a dollar.

At first glance, it is not very high, but as long as people who have been engaged in publishing know that the publishing house distributes books to the public, and the big writers and have the potential to sell big, it is at most about 4.5% off the book price, and usually the general books are 2-3% off and the books are sent out.

Think about it, 10 yuan a book, 3 fold books, Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House's income is 3 yuan, this has to remove all the costs - clappering, correction, printing, etc., how much is left?

This 10% royalty, which is equivalent to most of the profits, was taken away by Xuluo, and they only earned a little.

Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House bets that "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is a big hit, a super big hit, and then they can increase the shipping price and make money by selling more.

The single book published in Xiangjiang is only 60,000 words, a thin one, and the price is 20 Hong Kong dollars.

The mainland doesn't dare to do this, and a book that costs 10 yuan a book has to be hundreds of thousands of words.

So they are 300,000 words a set, 5 yuan per episode.

In this comic strip sells for a few cents, a set of thieves. The version of "The Legend of the Withering Heroes" only sold for 10 yuan, and the price of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was already too high.

But Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House also opened up, and released the first episode in July, and the number of first issues was 200,000 copies.

The price of 200,000 copies is 1 million, which is already a high volume of publications in terms of popularity, and it belongs to the treatment only that famous writers have.

Of course, they will also promote, what "Jin Yong's designated successor", "a super martial arts master with the ability of Gu Long and Jin Yong to become one", "the champion work of the global martial arts sales list", ...... These propaganda methods made Xuluo wonder if there were people who came back from abroad mixed into the propaganda team.

In this era, people have very little entertainment life.

Therefore, 99% of the ratings of the TV series "Desire" can be done, and 2 billion views of "Shaolin Temple" can be done.

Reading books is even more fashionable in this era, and many people are willing to buy many good books, even if they are expensive.

"The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is originally good-looking, and it is a book that has crossed the time limit, and the big guys have never seen such a novel setting, plot, and writing method...... As soon as I saw it, I was naturally fascinated.

Since it's a favorite, it definitely can't be enjoyed exclusively.

Therefore, it is natural that I will actively recommend it to book friends and pen pals, and even when we sit together, we will discuss seriously and excitedly.

In this way, the 200,000 copies of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" were quickly sold out in half a month, and 500,000 copies were urgently printed again, and they were sold out in half a month.

But after this time, the third batch of 500,000 copies sold out very slowly, and it took almost 3 months to sell out.

Not because the word of mouth collapsed, but because of a dozen thieves. The version of the version flocked to the top, directly robbing most of the share of the genuine version.

This also reflects the experience of Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House.

Why did the first two batches sell well, and they only made 500,000 copies in the third edition?

Everyone knows it!

Know this thief. version of speed and power, so do not do that kind of useless work.

There's no way you can sue it.

Half of the thieves. Even the publishing house of the edition book is fake, just like hundreds of books with the name of "Wolongsheng" have popped up in the past few years, where do you find the person in charge?

The other half of the thief. Editions of books are even more hateful, that is, regular publishing houses and printing houses work together to make some money for themselves - you go to other people's places to investigate, and the local police. Cha didn't cooperate at all, and there was no way to sue in the end!

According to the estimation of Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House, they sold at least 2 million fewer copies, but the loss was a bit big.

But it's not without its benefits.

That's tens of millions of steals. The first episode of the version of "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" suddenly opened up the pattern of "The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty".

Martial arts fans all over China know that there is such a very good-looking martial arts, and at least one-fifth of the fans have seen it.

The only bad thing is that it didn't end before the first episode came out.

Then everyone waited for the second episode to be published.

Fortunately, the current publishing house understands the rules and knows that it is okay to make some money with it, and don't dig up other people's roots, otherwise people will work hard; And the thief. The ability of the publisher is not large, and it has not kept up with internationalization.

Otherwise, buy it directly from overseas and print it yourself and take the lead in publishing, and Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House will be finished.

But it's not so safe.

So before the Spring Festival in January, Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House released the second episode, with an interval of 5 months.

With the lessons learned from the first volume, the second episode of Shuchuan Literature and Art Publishing House printed 5 million copies from the beginning.

Yes.

Xuluo is not mistaken, the list is written in the second episode of 5 million copies.

It's March now, and 5 million copies have been sold, and hundreds of thousands of copies are still being sold in Xinghua Bookstore or other places.

Although the thief. Editions are also flocking in, but this number of genuine books will definitely be digested by everyone.

Therefore, Xuluo's royalties in the second episode of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" reached 2.5 million.

Even if it's before taxes.

With this income alone, he surpassed the lifetime salary of 99.99% of the people in China.

Sometimes, it's just that easy to earn.
