Chapter 213: Narrative Trickery is Born
On April 10, Buyehou's new book "Malice" was officially published.
As the president of the Myth Publishing House, Lin Zhibai looked at himself for the first time from the perspective of pure capital-
"Huaxin Bookstore 300,000 copies."
"400,000 copies of Longxiang Bookstore."
"500,000 copies of Bafang Books."
"500,000 copies of Yazhi Books."
"One million copies at Pinnacle Bookstore."
"One million copies of Time Books."
"Momoyo Bookstore ......"
Lin Zhibai sat on the president's boss chair with a big face, his feet directly on the table, and looked at the statistics of the publishing department.
The first printing of "Malice" was 10 million copies, and 5 million copies have been digested by major bookstores.
"Generally speaking, the number of the first printing is determined by the writer's basic plate, and now the first printing is in the limelight, so as long as the author of the work has the three words "Never Night Hou" written in the column, then no matter what he writes, it will be against his name, and the guaranteed sales of five million must be no problem, and then the editors of the reasoning department are very optimistic about the quality of the work of "Malice", so the first printing directly published 10 million copies, and the follow-up should be able to sell out all of them......"
The head of the publishing department said respectfully.
I didn't care about the president's cynical attitude.
Recently, when the president of the company was in a meeting, he called the representative of Kunpeng.
On the phone, he simply said "give me face", and the new president asked the major publishing houses in Qinzhou to join the Mythology Publishing House.
What a big face this new president has!
And because of the fame of the nightless Hou in the publishing industry, the entire myth publishing house rejoiced!
Even with Lin Zhibai, a young new president who has just arrived, he has begun to have a certain prestige in the Myth Publishing House!
A president with prestige can naturally be qualified to pose as a big man.
Besides, the new president heard that he is still the youngest grandson of the chairman of the group, so it is strange that this kind of chaebol is not arrogant.
"If you print 10 million copies."
Lin Zhibai asked: "What level is this in the circle?" ”
"Top ten!"
The director of the publishing department said without hesitation: "Wait for the night, the market appeal can now be ranked in the top ten!" ”
Top 10?
Lin Zhibai thought he had misheard, "I'...... This guy I dug up is so good? "It turns out that my writer vest is already so awesome?
"How so?"
The director of the publishing department smiled: "The situation of Waitless Night is different from that of other great writers. ”
Not quite the same?
Lin Zhibai said thoughtfully: "Because of the identity of the screenwriter? ”
The director of the publishing department nodded, "If you just compare the number of book fans, in fact, the number of book fans in Sleepless Hou is not enough to see compared to other top ten writers in terms of market appeal, but Sleepless's screenwriter identity is too successful, he has a huge fan base, and countless fans who like his TV series will also buy Sleepless's creations." ”
Lin Zhibai smiled.
I see.
In this way, it is a wonderful flower in the world that does not sleep.
After all, in the strict sense of the word, he has only written three books.
"A Collection of Short Stories That Never Sleeps".
"Anxiety Grocery Store".
"The Secret".
It has only been so long since his debut that he has written three books, and the fan base is naturally not very large.
But the appeal of Nightless Hou in the market can be ranked in the top ten, and it must rely on the identity of the screenwriter.
There was "Hurricane" before.
There is "Never Expected".
Then there was "Conquest".
Recently, there is a super bloody drama "The Temptation to Go Home".
The ratings of the three TV series have exploded, and even the mini-series have countless topics, so a large number of fans will buy for the nightless wait.
But can these people be considered book lovers?
It's more appropriate to categorize it as a drama fan.
It's just that Myth Publishing House doesn't care about those who buy Sleepless, whether they come for those TV series or for Sleepless's identity as a writer.
Anyway, as long as you're willing to spend money on books!
This is like Lin Zhibai asking his sister to find those celebrities to write autobiographies.
Those celebrities are not writers, and they definitely don't have book fans, but it doesn't prevent their books from selling, because fans will pay for them.
"It's kind of similar." Lin Zhibai muttered.
"What did you say?" The head of the publishing department didn't hear me very clearly.
Lin Zhibai smiled, "It's nothing, your phone seems to be ringing." ”
"It's from a bookstore."
The director of the publishing house glanced at the call, didn't go out, and directly answered it in front of Lin Zhibai.
"You Huaxin Bookstore want to order "Malice"?"
"Yes!"
"How many copies?"
"500,000 copies!"
"How much!?"
The director of the publishing house suddenly mentioned the voice, and his expression seemed to be a little shocked.
After a few confirmations, she hung up the phone, and she said in a hurry: "President, I still have something to do, Huaxin Bookstore ......."
The voice fell.
The phone rang again.
She connected again.
"What? Do you want to order more? Add 300,000 copies? ”
After hanging up the phone for the second time, the head of the publishing department was already excited.
"Go ahead."
Lin Zhibai waved his hand.
"Okay!"
The head of the publishing department was very excited and bowed to leave, but he couldn't help but say a word before going out.
"This new book is even more popular than we expected, and it's all thanks to you, President!"
Lin Zhibai waved his hand again.
Ignore your rainbow fart.
Lin Zhibai was thinking about the strange market appeal that never sleeps.
Most of the people who buy it overnight are drama fans, because there are not many works, so the plate of book fans is not big at present.
This shows that there are still a large number of book lovers who can fight for it.
"Looks like it's going to be a little bit more written."
It just so happened that Lin Zhibai still had a book in his hand that was about to be completed, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Mythical Entertainment is filming the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Lin Zhibai plans to release it when this drama is broadcast.
When the time comes, it will work at the same time as the TV series!
It should be possible to add a large number of book lovers to Sleepless!
But it's no wonder that major publishing houses are desperately trying to win over writers of this level who don't sleep.
The top 10 writers in the market appeal of the Qinzhou writers' circle, who are in the top 10 for publishing houses, are simply money printing machines!
For example, the book "Malice".
The official price of the Myth Publishing House is 20 yuan a copy.
With an initial print run of 10 million copies, it is estimated that there will be no pressure to sell out this month.
Then the book "Malice" can create a total market value of about 200 million!
Of course, these two hundred million are only the market value, deducting the cost of printing, the share of writers who do not wait overnight, and the more money the company makes, the more taxes it pays.
Mythology Publishing House.
Probably in the end, he will be able to earn close to 100 million or so from the book of Nightless Wait?
it!
Isn't this a money printing machine?
Damn capitalists, mine made so much money for them, and they only gave me that little?
No wonder JK Rowling earned tens of billions of net worth in her previous life.
I'm afraid that the commercial value created by the Harry Potter series is immeasurable, and only the capital knows how much it has earned!
If the sales are high, you can really do whatever you want!
It's no wonder that he dug until he didn't stay night, and he directly gained a foothold in the company.
No matter how Wang Zi is handled, Roda Bailey and Ren Jiachun didn't let out a single fart.
Even the "software development" project, the gang has embraced it while leaving their own roles aside.
Dare to love is how much commercial value is in the Dumen Qingye Hou.
Gee.
On the contrary, Lin Zhibai underestimated the value of his identity as "Nightless Marquis" in the world.
OK.
Now I am the capital myself!
……
Nathan Press.
At this moment, the senior management of Nathan Publishing House had a slightly ugly face.
The Sleepless Hou was actually poached by the Mythology Publishing House, and the new book has been published by the Mythology Publishing House!
"I heard that the first printing of "Malice" was 10 million copies!"
"Those few TV series that don't sleep together have brought him too many fans."
"The number of these fans is more than the number of his book fans, and many of them are willing to pay for them."
"Did the Reasoning Department watch "Malice" over there?"
"How's the rating?"
"I'll ask someone from the Reasoning Department."
The leader speaks.
The editor-in-chief of Nathan's reasoning department soon came to the conference room.
"I'm reading the book "Malice", I've read half of it, and I feel that the level of reasoning that doesn't last night is not bad or bad, and it's probably the level of a second-rate reasoning writer......"
The editor-in-chief of the reasoning department spoke.
This news made several high-level executives of Nathan Publishing House look better.
"In other words, the first printing of "Malice" is 10 million copies, and the market may not be able to digest it, and the myth is a little too optimistic about the sales prospects of Sleepless." The editor-in-chief of Nathan Publishing.
The inference editor-in-chief nodded.
"What Sleepless Hou is good at is suspense, reasoning is not what he is best at, or although his previous works have reasoning elements, in fact, the proportion is rarely the kind of additive, so this time he writes pure reasoning, and his level in this area is a little unable to keep up......"
That's when it happened.
The deputy editor-in-chief of the reasoning department ran over in a hurry, holding a copy of "Malice" bought in the morning, looking a little flustered.
"Something's wrong, there's an accident!"
"What does it look like to be flustered?" Several senior executives of Nathan Publishing House were unhappy: "What's wrong?" ”
"This ......"
The deputy editor-in-chief held up the "Malice" in his hand, and swallowed his saliva with difficulty at the moment because he was running too quickly.
"Tongue straightened!" The editor-in-chief's heart fluttered.
"The level of trickery in this book is indeed not particularly high, but Buyehou has created a new reasoning writing technique, which will definitely shock the Qinzhou reasoning world!"
"How can it be so exaggerated, isn't it a normal reasoning technique......"
The editor-in-chief of Reasoning has just judged that "Malice" is the level of second-rate reasoning.
Unexpectedly, the deputy editor-in-chief came to sing against him.
"Where do you see it?"
"Here."
"You can read a few more chapters and you will understand!"
"Huh?"
The editor-in-chief of the reasoning was stunned for a moment, and then quickly turned the page.
Flipping and flipping, his movements stiffened, and a face was full of incredulity.
"What's wrong? Speak! ”
Several of the big leaders at Nathan Publishing were a little nervous.
The editor-in-chief of reasoning raised his head and glanced at the big leaders, with a heavy heart.
"Never Yet's "Malice" should become a masterpiece recorded in the history of reasoning, he used an unprecedented writing technique to play with all readers in the palm of his hand, and no one would have thought that the truth would be ...... in the end."
This day!
Narrative trickery was born!
