Chapter 40: New Books Sell

After Meng Wen and the intermediary Xiao Wang handed over the handover, he asked Xiao Wang to help invite a housekeeper to clean up at home, so that the girls could see what else to add, it happened to be Saturday and Sunday tomorrow, and they were ready to move in while they had nothing to do in the past two days.

Meng Wen didn't bother to go home on Saturdays and Sundays, and he was busy until Sunday. The things in the dormitory basically didn't move much, and they were all thrown in the dormitory, anyway, Lu Yan was watching. The bedding was all new, so I took a few clothes that I could wear, a computer, and some books.

On Sunday night, Meng Wen invited everyone to celebrate at home. Playing late, Zhang Dahai and Lu Yan slept directly with Meng Wen in the downstairs guest room.

After a few days of tossing, the little money Meng Wen got from writing songs for Zhou Haoda was almost gone. You have to save money during this time. Now Meng Wen is waiting for the 15th to be paid......

Early on Monday morning, Meng Wen drove Xun Hanlei and Lu Yan back to school, had some more food near the school, and then went to the publishing house with Ouyang Die.

As soon as he arrived at the publishing house, Hu Li told himself a piece of good news, which can be said to be great news......

His new book has sold 200,000 copies in two days this weekend, and more than 300,000 copies have been sold so far, plus the sales on Thursday and Friday. The sales in four days topped the last book of my last month. Although the second and third parts were published together this time, Meng Wen originally thought that it would be good to sell 108,000 yuan in the past few days. Who would have thought it would be so crazy......

And according to Hu Li, not only did the second or third of his new book sell well, but even the first part also soared in sales because of the big sales of the second and third books, because many people will buy all three as soon as they buy it.

Meng Wen silently calculated his remuneration in his heart. Since the new book share has been increased from 5 percent to 10 percent, that is to say, a book can fall more than two yuan, 300,000 copies is 600,000 ah, and now there are still ten days before the 15th, conservative can sell another 500,000 copies, plus the sales of the first part. This time, the remuneration should be more than 2 million, according to this trend, as long as you are writing a book, it will be no problem to register a company at that time......

Ouyang Die also silently calculated in his heart, he sold 200,000 copies in two days, that is to say, 100,000 copies a day, that is, 200,000 yuan so easily, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "200,000 yuan a day, this money is also easy to earn, then you can do nothing in the future, and you can make a fortune by collecting manuscript fees at home." No wonder everyone wants to be a writer......"

Fluttershy is biased, you grew up in a publishing house, you don't know it. Do you think that everyone makes money like Meng Wen, then you also need someone to buy the books you write, haven't you seen many authors pay for their own books?" Hu Li said with a smile.

Ouyang Die himself also knew these truths, but he just subconsciously ignored them. The main thing is that Meng Wen gave her a bit of an impact......

"Meng Wen, have you figured out what to do in the future, do you want to be a writer or a boss?" Hu Li asked Meng Wen with a smile.

"Let's write a book, I registered that company for fun, and my personality is probably not a big boss, anyway, Teacher Ouyang will help me ......" Meng Wen thought for a while and said.

"I wanted to persuade you before, it's a pity that you don't write a book, it's good if you can figure it out. What are you going to write next?"

"It's still a martial arts novel, I'm more familiar with this theme. ”

"That's good, newcomers should not rush into other fields. Often, after some people succeed, they will give up what they are good at and try in other fields. It is also known as the courage to innovate and change style. They don't know that when they change their style, the fans who like their original style are quietly leaving, and the change of style is not necessarily successful," Hu Li said.

"Well, I understand, Uncle Hu"

"Don't think Uncle Hu is talking too much, it's all for your good. Uncle Hu has been a director for so many years, and I haven't seen any author. By the way, when are you going to write your new book?" asked Hu Li impatiently.

"I've been working on a script recently, and I'm going to play it on my own and experience it for a while. The next new book will have to be talked about after the New Year."

"I'm old now, I don't understand what you young people are trying to write, why do you want to film? If you don't enjoy being a singer, you still want to be a director again? The songs you wrote are really good, especially the song "Sailor", I also listened to it, and it is really inspiring. But I have to remind you that writing a screenplay is not the same as writing a novel and writing lyrics, and you don't have to have a good story or a good style. This involves various factors such as scenes, dialogues, actions, and overall time control, and it is not as simple as you think......" Hu Li patiently persuaded him.

"Uncle Hu, I understand! I'm still young now, it's like trying, if I fail, I will start again, and besides, I promised Teacher Ouyang to play the heroine, if I don't shoot Teacher Ouyang, I won't eat me" Meng Wen said with a smile.

Why, Fluttershy is involved. Don't say it, Fluttershy looks much better than those female stars on TV, and filming will definitely be popular. ”

"I just went over to help him, and I saw that he couldn't find the right person to reluctantly agree," Ouyang Die hurriedly argued.

"It's better for you young people to do whatever you want. I won't persuade you too much, young people try more, and the experience of rising is also good."

Then Ouyang Die led Meng Wen to his grandfather's office. Ouyang Die's grandfather's name is Ouyang Mingde, a publishing house transferred from the army, with a big face in Chinese characters, sitting there with a straight waist, although he is over sixty, he still looks proud of the year.

Meng Wen was also the first time he saw Ouyang Die's grandfather. Ouyang Die told Ouyang Mingde about Meng Wen's affairs at school, and by the way, he also told him about his resignation. To be honest, Meng Wen was still a little nervous in his heart, afraid that Ouyang Die's grandfather would put the responsibility for her resignation on his head, and it would be bad to let himself be responsible.

And it turned out that Meng Wen was a little self-inflicted. The old man didn't say much, only said: "You have all grown up, and you are in charge of your own affairs." If you suffer a loss, you should buy a lesson."

The old man has experienced a lot of things in his life, and he has seen things in the officialdom system thoroughly. Ouyang Mingde was also a man of the hour in the army, but later he accidentally offended a leader and was ostracized and assassinated everywhere before he had to change his career. So Ouyang Mingde can also understand Meng Wen's feelings......
