119. Gloating (thanks to Niu who can read novels for another 500-point reward)
"Senior brother, you are overly praised."
Gu Cheng seemed very humble at this time, but the raised corners of his mouth still showed his joy. He refilled the tea that Yu Qi had finished drinking, and then started chatting.
"How's the initial printing going? Are you ready to launch it?"
"One million copies were ordered for the initial printing meeting. Now the Propaganda Department has come up with a publicity plan and gave your copybook a nice name, Gu Cheng Ti."
Hearing this, Gu Cheng's face showed a smile again. Gu Chengti, maybe he can have the same status in this parallel world as Pang Zhonghua in his previous life.
"Our main sales targets are school students. The publishing house has contacted the education bureaus of cities near Zhoushi and submitted this copybook. It has become a recommended copybook for primary and secondary school students. We have also signed contracts with all bookstores.
800,000 copies have been distributed and will be launched in just one week."
After suddenly hearing so much good and successful news, Gu Cheng was not as excited as he was at the beginning, but he was still shocked by the huge connections of Haohan Publishing House. He could actually contact the education bureaus of various cities. This was something he completely
Never thought of it.
To be honest, when Gu Cheng first chose to publish copybooks, his original intention was to make money through this. On the other hand, he also wanted to develop his fans and popularity among the student community.
The same is true for writing essays. It would be even better if any of them are valued by educational institutions and added to students' Chinese textbooks.
No matter in which world, popularity represents social status. With status, you will no longer be afraid of threats from others when facing certain things.
Money may be omnipotent, but without the social status that matches the money, it will become an iceberg and clouds, rootless duckweeds.
Gu Cheng, who has experienced the era of information explosion in his previous life, knows this truth very well.
Whether you are investing in Li Kui's Weibo company or writing a copybook, it is all to improve your reputation and social status. After laying these foundations, the money you earn truly belongs to you.
And in order to give his daughter a quiet and stable haven, he spared no effort in planning this way, and now it seems that it has begun to bear fruit.
In his plan, mystery novels win over mystery enthusiasts among working white-collar workers and expand their popularity by adapting them into film and television works, while copybooks and essays develop fans among students, waiting for these students to enter the society.
After that, it became my own crowd again.
If a person's reputation is high enough, the government will carefully consider his suggestions.
"The share of the initial printing will be credited to your account later, after tax of course. The ex-factory price of our copybook is ten yuan. Considering the students' spending power, we recommend that the retail price be between ten yuan and fifteen yuan.
Yuan, so the royalties you can get are 2.5 million, and the sales of copybooks can continue to be sold. After all, there are students every year, so Chengzi, you have developed a gold mine. "
Speaking of this, Yu Qi's face couldn't help but reveal a look of envy. Although he is now the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, his salary in one year is not as much as Gu Cheng earns from one book. Even if the other party starts to close the book now
, you can live a good life relying on copybooks.
"Your publishing house also makes a lot of money, and senior brother will soon be able to get shares in the publishing house. From now on, your identity will change from a worker to a boss. Don't you also have a share of the profits?"
Having said this, Gu Cheng picked up the teapot again and poured some tea for Yu Qi.
"We win together, win together."
Yu Qi felt happy when he thought that the matter of his own shares had been confirmed, and his boss had deliberately left him behind to reveal something after the last meeting. Who in this world would despise money as unnecessary.
The two drank tea instead of wine and toasted to congratulate each other.
"By the way, senior brother, how is my copy of "No Survival"?"
Gu Cheng thought of the new book he had submitted a long time ago and asked about the situation.
"It will take a while. After all, you know that a book is not as simple as a copybook, and the publicity resources invested in the early stage cannot be compared. Now we are contacting illustrators to illustrate the book, and the people from the publicity department are still
I plan to record the scary nursery rhymes in your book on a tape, and use it as a gift when the book is released, and randomly give it to fans who purchase it."
Gu Cheng was also surprised by the imaginative thinking of this group of people. Maybe he communicated with the other party during the last promotion, and seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du in the Propaganda Department. Now the other party's propaganda techniques are better than the previous one.
It's blue.
Thinking about playing this nursery rhyme while reading, Gu Cheng couldn't help but shudder at the immersive feeling.
"This sales method will definitely increase sales. It seems that your publicity department will make a success this time."
Gu Cheng smiled and said that in large companies, achievements should be rewarded based on merit.
Thinking of this, he became more confident in the sales of his new book. The last first-day sales record had already broken the domestic record. Let's see if it can be improved this time.
"By the way, have you paid attention to the news about the adaptation of the previous book during this time?"
There was a smile in Yu Qi's tone,
"No, what happened?"
Gu Cheng really hasn't paid much attention to it, not since he sold the copyright to Kia Films. He plans to go over and take a look when it's released.
This is also the sorrow of these new authors. Their works have been adapted, but they have no say at all. If they want to see if it has been changed beyond recognition, they can only go to the cinema to watch it with all the audiences.
"Hey, I heard that there was a problem with the crew. The heroine was replaced by someone recommended by the investor. The director was very angry. Now the crew has been shut down. The two parties are playing a game to see which one can win.
Won."
Yu Qi's tone was full of schadenfreude. Although his senior sister came to sign the contract and the price was good, a writer has no right to suggest his own work. This kind of thing also made Yu Qi feel for Gu Cheng.
angry.
But after all, the other party is the leading film and television production company in the country. He, the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, has no good way to help Gu Cheng. Now that he sees the internal commotion of the other party, he will naturally feel angry.
"Does the film and television company agree? You won't let the investors get involved, right?"
Gu Cheng expressed his doubts. Logically speaking, the film and television company should be on the side of the director, and the investors should have nothing to do except enjoy the profit share of the film.
