Chapter 196 Times Commentary Frenzy (1)
"Auntie, how is the sales?" Su Shichen asked.
To be honest, as far as the movie is concerned, each of the Matrix trilogys has a box office of more than 200 million US dollars. Although this box office is not very awesome, it is not a small one. There is no reason to be adapted into a novel and the sales are very poor.
What's more, when Su Shichen visited Principal Yang Jiezhi, the "Matrix I Hacker Mission" was sold out very well. It took him a long time to buy it.
"You should still remember Xiaochen's sales on the first three days of "Ghost Blows Out the Light"." Wang Ni did not answer directly but instead asked a question and answer.
"The sales volume on the first day is 530,000, the sales volume on the second day is 580,000, the sales volume on the third day is 650,000, and the sales volume in three days is over 1.5 million." The sales volume of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" can be said to be an industry miracle, and it is also a miracle in his novel career. How could he not remember it?
In fact, if the sales of "The Matrix I Hacker Mission" reaches three-fifths of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" can be called a success. Of course, this is also Su Shichen's standard. If you follow the standards of best-selling books in the industry, the sales of the first day only need one-fifth of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will be enough.
Yes! The first day's sales of more than 100,000 yuan can be regarded as an extremely popular bestseller. Think about the first day of "The Legend of Wukong", the sales of "The Legend of Wukong" was less than 10,000 yuan, and the cumulative sales in one month are only 200,000 yuan, but it has become called a bestseller.
"The first day of the "Matrix I Hacker Mission" sales of 930,000 yuan, and the one million books that our company put into the market will be sold out!"
Ninety-three thousand copies! Su Shichen was shocked by this number, and so was Wang Ni. He originally thought that two or three days would be enough for a day, but now it is almost done in one day. The newspapers and kiosks in various bookstores called to buy books, and they had to print them.
It would be nice to restore the sales of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on the first day of sales, but now the situation has completely reversed. The sales of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on the first day are only less than three-fifths of those of "The Matrix I Hacking Mission".
Ninety-three million! This number is already very amazing when it comes to the cumulative sales of books. You should know that many books will celebrate the sales of over one million copies, and many authors will regard the sales of over one million copies as their goal. In the past life, the earth's 300,000 yuan, and the cumulative sales of this world can be called a bestseller. Isn't a million sales worth celebrating?
It is indeed a matter of celebration to exceed one million sales. It is undoubtedly normal for the book "The Matrix I Hacker Mission" to exceed one million sales on the first day, which is definitely an abnormal thing.
"Ninety-three thousand? The data on the statistics list is correct, right?" Su Shichen asked in disbelief, and then he was stunned after asking this sentence, because this question was the question Wang Ni asked the editor of the company just now, and the editor's answer just now proved that his question was meaningless.
"It seems that the continuous bombing effect has worked, and the sales on the first day have reached such a level."
Since he decided to write "The Matrix", the publicity about this book has never stopped, especially the grand press conference. The funds used at the Lido Stadium were more than ten times that of ordinary new book conferences, and the effect was also very significant. The first day of sales of 930,000 at least 100,000 copies was due to the promotion of the new book conference, which was worth spending.
Then the solid foundation laid by "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and the gimmick of Su Shichen's first science fiction novel, etc., created this sales milestone.
"Ghost Blows Out the Light" sold over 1.5 million in three days, which was a milestone in his writing career, but this milestone was surpassed by another one just after it was established.
"Aunt, what are you doing?" Su Shichen came back to his senses from the first-day sales of 930,000 yuan and found that Wang Ni was writing something, and she looked very complicated.
"Promotional plan." Wang Ni answered briefly.
Su Shichen understood that the first-day sales were indeed worth a lot of money. If you put this gimmick out again, sales will definitely increase, because blindly following the trend has always been human nature.
"Dudu~~"
I received a text message [Xiao Si, first congratulations on your new book being sold, and I wish you a higher grade:-D, the most important point is Xiao Si, the graduation activity is about to begin, there is not much time left, have you completed it?] This text message was sent by the senior class monitor who has not seen for a long time.
“Graduation activity?”
When Su Shichen saw this familiar and unfamiliar word, all the forgotten memories poured into his mind. A few days ago, at the home of the senior class leader was the birthday of the senior class leader. The senior class leader told Su Shichen in detail. The school organized an event that included the image or name of the whole class in three forms: novels, songs and paintings. The first class can stay on Big Ben forever.
Because he thought this was a very meaningful thing, Su Shichen solemnly agreed. He racked his brains to think of many ways to get the first place, and finally came up with a good idea. He was originally going to take time to complete it, but later... Later...
"I've been busy dealing with the "Matrix" these days, and I have forgotten about this matter at all." The joke was really big now, and the team leader found out that the team leader would turn into a tigress.
The senior class monitor cannot be known, so Su Shichen replied [How could I forget about graduation activities?] Just like this, Su Shichen still felt that some things could not be explained, so he added [I have already drawn all the comic characters in the class. Don’t worry, you can rest assured, the senior class monitor.] This reply, Su Shichen felt much more at ease.
"Dudu~~" the chief squad leader replied [This is so good, that's great. Mu Mu and I come to see how it is? Xiao Si is confident that he can get the first place =-=]
Let’s take a look. These three words made Su Shichen’s head bigger. What should I come to see? It’s definitely not possible if I don’t...
[It's time to take the exam, you should stay at home to review.]
[=-=It's okay, it's not good to study at home in combination with work and rest, so you can go out for a walk and have a fresh air.]
What happened to this senior squad leader? I wanted to ask her to come out to attend the new book launch conference before, but I didn’t have time. Now I still have time.
"Dudu~~" The news that seemed to be urging death came again [Xiao Si, are you at home now? Mu Mu and I will go to your house immediately.]
[no]
[Xiao Si, why are you rude? Didn’t you do anything at all?] The chief squad leader and Su Shichen are childhood sweethearts, and they still have a good understanding of Su Shichen’s nature, so they hit the nail on the head.
The more you explain this kind of thing, the more chaotic it becomes, and it may be exposed in the end. But if you don’t find a way to fool it, you must bear the anger of the top squad leader. What can you do at this time?
There is no way for ordinary people to do it, but Su Shichen is not an ordinary person. There is only one way to solve the current dilemma in such a thing-[Team leader, do you know, you are so disappointed to me.]
Su Shichen was in his hand and his fingers were typing quickly on the screen like a butterfly wearing a flower. He said this.
The chief squad leader was stunned, why did he feel disappointed? [Why did I make you cry, Xiao Si?]
[You insist on coming to see you, but you don’t believe in my strength, and you don’t believe in my strength to get the first place. You are so disappointed to me like this.]
[That, I'm actually just curious.]
[Who knows whether it is curiosity or distrust.]
[Sorry Xiao Si, I'm really just curious, don't think too much.]
The senior squad leader began to admit his mistake. It was clearly Su Shichen forgot about the graduation activities, but now the senior squad leader is the senior squad leader. This is the ultimate trick - to turn the tables!
This trick was learned by Su Shichen in the book "How the Bad Guys Are Made" in the previous life. The protagonist Xie Wendong in the book obviously slept with someone else's girl in a hotel, but he got up in the morning and made accusations that he was extremely aggrieved. In the end, it was the girl who kept apologizing. At that time, Su Shichen wanted to say how people could be as shameless as this.
Now Su Shichen also stole this move, and as soon as he used his ultimate move, he finally got the top squad leader.
"I have to take some time to complete the graduation activity. I can do it alone without Zhang Chen's help." Su Shichen made up his mind.
Say hello to Wang Ni and go home immediately. Walk out of the room and see the sneaky Wang Shan in the aisle.
Wang Shan slipped outside the room and dialed the phone number of her friend Jenny. Wang Shan couldn't stop saying, "Hey, what's going on with Jenny?"
Jenny on the other end of the phone was confused: "Hi, Shanshan, what's wrong?"
"Jenny, didn't you say that the president of the publishing company is your uncle?"
"Yes, that's right, it's my cousin."
"Then why is the share ratio so low?"
“Very low?”
"That's not, so my mom came back without reaching an agreement."
"Is Shanshan's aunt too high? My cousin is very good?" Although Jenny and Wang Shan are best friends, their elbows still turned inward.
"That's not the case!" Wang Shan defended, and then Wang Shan and Jenny began an English conversation.
"Pudong!" Jenny hung up the phone heavily.
Jenny, a blond young lady with deep eye sockets and high nose bridge, was lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling in anger.
After thinking for a long time, I called Uncle Feile.
"Uncle Feile, how is the publication of "The Sherlock Holmes"?"
"Little Jenny, there are so many good mystery novels. I gave me a share that I thought was appropriate, but the other company refused."
"What is the right share that Uncle Ferrer thinks?"
"As long as the other company hand over the copyright of "Shelf's Detective Collection" to us, then we can sit and get a 10% sales share. Is there anything better in the world than this?"
Feile said that well, but Jenny heard that Feile's share was nine to one, which means that the other party could only sell one million in "Shelmes Detective Collection". The other party could reach 100,000. The 100,000 plus the miscellaneous expenses, and the rest was really not much.
Of course, that's all. After all, Wang Ni thinks that as long as she can make Su Shichen's reputation and "The Sherlock Holmes" abroad, she will be willing to pay even if she pays for the money. The share of Chinese movies when they were released in the United States is slightly better than this, 3:7 or 2:8, exploitation is very serious.
What Wang Ni really couldn't stand was another request from Feier to hand over the copyright of "Shelf's Detective Collection" to him. This is too much. The copyright is very valuable, especially in the United States. Stephen King, the terror king of the earth in his previous life, became a billionaire by writing novels. The Harry Potter series promoted Rowling to one of the top ten British richest people, and Stephanie Mel's "Twilight" series is worth tens of millions. "Shelf's Detective Collection" is a work that influenced an era. Su Shichen knew the importance of its copyright, and Wang Ni also knew that Feier naturally couldn't agree on copyright.
"Uncle Feile, why are you doing this?"
"We have so many wonderful mystery novels in the United States. If I hadn't watched Jenny's request, I wouldn't have talked about it at all. It was a waste of time."
Well, Feler will meet with Wang Ni to discuss the publication of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection" as a waste of time.
"Uncle Feller, Sherlock Holmes is different from other books, and is a very classic mystery novel."
"There are many classic Chinese novels, but there are very few cultural differences that can be accepted by the United States. Well, Jenny, I still have something to deal with, that's it."
Feiler made the most wrong decision in his life. He didn't react until "Shelf's Detective Collection" topped the US sales list. Of course, these are later stories. Currently, "The Matrix" is in power. There are many crazy reviews about "The Matrix I Hacker Mission". It seems that if you don't comment on this book, you can't keep up with the times. The big killer of sales on the first day has not been released, and it may be even more crazy after it is released!
