Chapter XXXVII
"You also know that the influence of our book club is basically only within the scope of Southern Province, and Southern Province, the population is only more than 70 million, normally speaking, judging from the popularity of Starlight yesterday, in the Southern Province area, the average sales volume .... It will be around seven to ninety thousand copies, and as for the other sixteen provinces of the Dragon Kingdom outside of the Southern Province.... In total, it can contribute 5,000 to 10,000 volume sales, which is considered good. ”
When Tang Yin heard this, she brushed her hair back to the root of her ears, and her beautiful and fair face also became serious.
"As for the journey of youth .... To be honest, judging by its explosive performance on "Instant Fanghua..... If it is released in the southern province, it should sell an average of about 250,000 copies....."
The volume averages 250,000 copies.....
Triple my estimate?
Song Lingyun immediately frowned a little, she knew that the sales of the single book of Youth Journey were expected to be higher than hers, but she didn't expect that the bookstore's expectations for this work were three times that of hers.
But when Xia Yan heard this, he also fell into thought.
In fact, through Yuan Qing's memory, Xia Yan basically learned about the results of the original comics of this work.
In the year or two since the comics were at the peak of their serialization popularity, its annual manga single book sales could rank in the top 20 in the entire island region, surpassing the twilight demon tail and the god of death, with almost four or five million copies sold.
This figure is the total sales of many volumes of manga combined.
By the end of the work, the total sales of its single book were about 12 million copies.
Converted, it is about 1 million or so in terms of average volume sales.
Of course, the themes of novels and comics must not be generalized, the world is different, the number of fans of two-dimensional works, the proportion is not the same, and the population of Southern Province is only half of the island country.
But overall, Xia Yan doesn't think that the two-dimensional cultural atmosphere of the Dragon Kingdom will be worse than that of the island countries in the parallel world.
In his opinion, this sales forecast is indeed a bit low, even if only the expected data of the southern province is counted, it is also low, after all, the population of the southern province is there, 70 million, a lot.
"What's that look on you two?" Tang Yin saw the collapsed faces of the two, and suddenly became a little angry and wanted to laugh.
"Don't think that the average volume is tens of thousands, and the results of more than 200,000 are very poor, okay, if the novel is written for a long time, there are more than a dozen volumes, then the total sales will break millions, and the income will be very considerable. Most of the novels in the "Red Maple" periodical, the sales data of the single book in the southern province will not exceed the average volume of 100,000, even if it is the head novel of the periodical, the sales of the single book are only counted in the southern province, and the average volume is only three or four hundred thousand.... And this is also the result of the blessing of these novels under the huge publicity resources of the book club. ”
"If it weren't for Xia Yan, your youth journey did show that the quality of the works of the "Instant Fanghua" journal was obviously beyond the quality of the works of the "Instant Fanghua", and the single book sales promotion given to you by the book club was all based on the level of excellent works in the "Red Maple" periodical. The average volume is 250,000, in fact, this kind of achievement is not expected to appear in a novel serialized in "Instant Fanghua". ”
Both of them understand the truth, but they are just depressed in their own way.
Song Lingyun felt depressed that she had been suppressed by Xia Yan again, as for Xia Yan.....
As for Xia Yan, he really understands how much the serialization platform of the work has on the popularity of the work.
It's true that it's gold, and it always shines, but the number of people who see it at an exhibition or in a pigsty must be very different.
A work in a parallel world island country can have an average volume of one or two million results, even if it is an extremely good single book sales data. But in the Dragon Country, the population is more than ten times that of the island country, whether it is a novel or a comic, at least there must be millions or even tens of millions of volumes, and then it can be regarded as a top-notch work.
These are the apex of the real two-dimensional creators of the Dragon Kingdom. With an average volume of millions, or even 10 million sales, as long as you create ten or twenty volumes of content, the total sales of a single book can easily exceed 100 million, and the royalty income of creators is naturally over 100 million.
As long as the dragon country is a slightly famous novel and comic book writer across the country, it is basically all tens of millions, or even billionaires.
However, this road is also highly competitive and involuted.
The top works of Red Maple Literature only have hundreds of thousands of sales per volume, which is also because the channel is limited and only influential in the southern province.
Put the journey of youth in the Qingze Library, the top book company in the Dragon Country, to calculate based on its achievements in the island countries of the parallel world, coupled with the superposition effect of the population of the Dragon Country, the average volume is more than a few million, and it can barely be regarded as a passing result, which cannot be said to be excellent, but can only be said to be qualified.
To put it simply, it is the sum of the average sales volume of the novel in the seventeen provinces of the Dragon Kingdom, each province selling between 30,000 and 400,000 volumes. But.... There is no way, red maple literature is indeed only influential in the southern province region.
After handing in the manuscript of the novel, Xia Yan and Song Lingyun continued to start their game duel process.
But after such a period of time, it is impossible for Xia Yan to win against Song Lingyun in every game duel, this guy learns very quickly, and his game fighting strength has improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
And the king and the platinum are on the line, and after dozens of rounds, there will also be a situation where mistakes are killed alone!
So last week, Xia Yan finally had her first game duel, and after losing to Song Lingyun once because of an operation error, the girl's anger that had been suppressed for several weeks finally leaked out, and today's game with Xia Yan was also a lot easier... But today, after playing for a while, she was still abused, and her skills needed to be strengthened.
"Xia Yan.... In the future, are you ready to take the novelist as your career and fight for life? ”
Suddenly, Song Lingyun, who was sitting next to Xia Yan, although his eyes were focused on the picture in the game console, his voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh?" Xia Yan glanced at her slightly.
This guy? Do you still care about these things about me?
"Probably..... After all, I can't figure out what work I can do that will be more profitable and easier than doing two-dimensional works. Xia Yan thought for a while and said.
"Easy?" Song Lingyun's fingers stiffened when he heard this.
Worst!
Song Lingyun secretly exclaimed in her heart.
Xia Yan's eyes lit up, and there were flaws.
A heavy blow, a big pendulum, a kick to ascend to the sky, and five seconds later, the character controlled by Song Lingyun was directly knocked down by Xia Yan.
It's me winning again, hehe....
Xia Yan felt a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart, and looked at Song Lingyun proudly.
However, the girl's expression became a little uncalm.
"Do you feel relaxed about creating a journey of youth?" The girl asked.
"Almost.... I think it's easy anyway. ”
After all, it is adapted from the existing works in memory, and it is the code word fingers that are tired, and as for the spirit, it is indeed not too tired.
When Song Lingyun heard this, he didn't speak for a long time and bowed his head and was silent.
Xia Yan felt a little embarrassed.
"What about you? Are you planning to work towards becoming a professional novelist in the future? In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Xia Yan took the initiative to ask.
"I don't know...."Song Lingyun's expression sank when he heard this.
"I don't know how much pressure my family would have put on me if they knew I was writing a novel, and I don't know if I would have been able to withstand that pressure."
"But.... In the past two months, I have also understood a truth. Song Lingyun stared at Xia Yan.
"Even if it seems to be an ordinary person on the surface, perhaps, he will have talents far beyond others in other fields."
"I don't know if I'm going to keep writing novels. But one thing, I'm pretty sure...."
If I really give up writing novels one day, I will definitely beat you in the competition for novel scores before then, and wash away the shame of yesterday's starlight failure.
Song Lingyun didn't say this sentence later, after all, the incompetence of the loser will only make others despise you more.
And the winner does not need to say anything to the loser.
Xia Yan couldn't understand what she was doing in half of what she said, but she didn't want to understand it, and if she didn't say the content of the second half of the sentence, there was no need to ask. It's just an alumnus of the same school who has only crossed paths in the past two months, and who knows when I will see her after the youth journey is finished next week?
Shaking his head, Xia Yan didn't continue to talk about these topics.
....
The next day, Saturday, March 25.
On this day, more than 90 percent of the bookstores in the southern province quietly put two new light novels on the shelves in conspicuous positions. One is called Youth Journey, and the other is called... Yesterday's starlight.
In other provinces other than Southern Province, there are also many bookstores in the corners where two fiction books have been introduced.
The single book of the journey of youth is on sale and officially begins.
