Chapter 590 Stupid people make people more angry (ask for a monthly ticket)
At present, Western mythology has its own system, and it is not just mythology, there are also several big IPs that have also gained influence around the world through the efforts of several generations.

On the other hand, Huaxia is weaker.

There is no traditional masterpiece IP, no gods and demons system, let alone the prehistoric system summed up by several generations, which is even more non-existent.

For this reason, if we really want to write out this system slowly, on the one hand, it will take time, and on the other hand, we need film and television adaptations to expand our influence.

For novels, the best way to publicize is film and television adaptations.

Looking at the other world, why are master Jin Yong's novels so well-known? ?
Isn't it because his novels are easy to adapt to film and television?

Therefore, Yu Xiaoshu is going to write "Journey to the West" first.

In two years, Yu Xiaoshu plans to make the IP of "Journey to the West" bigger and stronger, not only in China, but also in the entire Yuanxing, so that everyone knows about "Journey to the West".

Monkey King needs to be seen.

Children need Monkey King, and adults also need Monkey King.

After giving "Journey to the West" to Su Qing on April 4, Yu Xiaoshu stopped asking about it, and he gave Su Qing full authority over the promotion of this book.

Again, he may not believe Su Qing's 'Feng Yang Publishing House', but he believes in Su Qing.

In terms of Su Qing's appreciation ability and personality, it is impossible for this "Journey to the West" to be buried.

But Yu Xiaoshu forgot one thing.

That is his vest is far from having a big impact.

After all, so far, Yu Xiaoshu's vest has only been influential in short stories, but this influence is far from the level of a great god.

So why would others trust him unconditionally? ? ?

For example, Feng Yang magazine held a small meeting.

Mainly editor-in-chief Zhao Xiangbei, editor-in-chief Li Shang, editor Su Qing, and editor Xiao Feng.

Among them, Su Qing is the person in charge of No. [-] Under Heaven. Xia He was given to Xia He because it was a short story, so the long story was naturally handed over to Su Qing.

As for Xiao Feng, he is the editor in charge of 'Uncle Weird'.

This 'Uncle Weird' was excavated by Xiao Feng himself. As a newcomer, Xiao Feng gave 'Uncle Weird' a lot of help, so even if other publishing houses offered extremely generous conditions to 'Uncle Weird', But 'Strange Uncle' still chose to sign with Fengyang Publishing House.

In the past two years, there are only two great masters left in Fengyang Publishing, and all the platinum screenwriters have been poached away. It's just like this, they are eager to support another great master.

The master here refers to the long novels, after all, the influence of short stories is actually a bit weaker after all.

Of course, if 'Second Under Heaven' publishes another short story, then 'Fengyang Publishing House' will definitely support it with all its strength, and even meet all the conditions.

But this is a long story.

In general, longer texts are more difficult.

What's more important is that many of the current physical book authors are extremely miserable, and some of them can't be said to be poor. To say that they are poor is to praise them.

Generally speaking, the first batch of books promoted by well-known authors and some publishing houses will basically be printed to 20 copies, the master can reach one million, and the platinum can reach 500 million.

This is the gap.

It is also influential.

When you become a great god, your accompanying influence will be infinite.

Even if you have become a great god, the publishing house will step up efforts to help you promote it.

But what about ordinary authors? ?

Most of their printed books are basically around 5000, which is the first batch. Of course, ordinary authors basically have no chance to reprint, so ordinary authors are basically miserable.

In this regard, physical writers are far inferior to online writers.

But some ordinary writers have a simpler idea, that is, as long as they can be published, then they are already satisfied.

Everyone's pursuit is different.

For ordinary authors, they just want to be published, and then think about printing more of the first batch.

For well-known writers, of course they want to sprint to the master, and the temptation is huge.

Take 'Strange Uncle' as an example. When he was a newcomer, his first print was only 1 copies. This was the one that Xiao Feng was extremely optimistic about him, and then won.

Later, more and more of his first prints were made.

This time, the final first print of "Uncle Weird"'s "Magic Way" reached 180 million copies, which has far exceeded the number of first prints of well-known authors, and even almost the same as the first prints of great gods.

This is the trust that 'Feng Yang Publishing House' has placed in 'Strange Uncle'.

But for 'Second Under Heaven', 'Fengyang Publishing House' did not trust so much.

All that needs to be said has been said.

But after all, the official publication is about to begin. At this time, on the one hand, everyone needs to discuss the promotion, and on the other hand, they need to see the final first print run.

As the editor-in-chief of Fengyang Publishing House, Zhao Xiangbei said: "The final song of "Mo Dao" has received a good response on the Internet. If this is the case, let's directly sell 200 million copies of this book, so that we will not be caught off guard when it sells out. .”

Hearing Zhao Xiangruo's words, Xiao Feng showed a smile on his face.

Obviously, he is full of confidence in the final song of "The Devil's Way". If "Uncle Weird" can become a god, then Xiao Feng will also have a place in the industry.

You must know that "Uncle Strange" was dug out by himself.

The editor-in-chief Li Shang nodded lightly: "I also agree, the final song of "Magic Way" should be first printed with 200 million copies."

Obviously, everyone is also full of confidence in the final song of "Mo Dao".

On the one hand, the publishing house has done an investigation, and the final song of "Magic Way" is already quite good in terms of fans' purchases, not to mention there are other passer-by discs.

The sales of the previous trilogy "Magic City" are quite amazing, there is no reason why the final song this time will not be good.

As for "Journey to the West"?
Obviously, according to some feedback, everyone is not interested in this innovative novel of gods and demons.

In many cases, innovation often means rushing to the street.

The point is that this 'Second Under Heaven' is really a bit inflated, and it turns out that it wants to establish a school.

It's so hard.

Or impossible.

Exactly so, according to the feedback, the trend of "Journey to the West" seems to be not very good.

Therefore, in the end, after everyone discussed, the first printing of "Journey to the West" was 10 copies.

They feel that this is already a lot.

On the one hand, the 10 volumes are reprints of well-known authors, and the 10 volumes of "Second Under Heaven" are considered a very high first printing anyway.

Because after several days of feedback, "Journey to the West" is really not very good.

This made Zhao Xiangbei have to think about it, if there were too many first seals, would he smash his hands?
It's not like this happened before. The publishing house was optimistic about a work, but in the end it only sold a few thousand copies, and the rest couldn't be sold even at a discount.

For this reason, Zhao Xiangbei thought for a while and said: "I think it's better to reduce another 2 copies of "Journey to the West", and let the first printing of this book be 8 copies."

Li Shang agreed.

Su Qing couldn't bear it anymore.

Does she think the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief have been kicked by donkeys? ? ?

At the beginning of the [-] volumes, Su Qing himself disagreed a little.

What are you kidding? ? ?

Such a novel actually only printed 10 copies for the first time? ? ?

But Su Qing thought about it and agreed. After all, what the editor-in-chief said made sense. If the market feedback is good, then just continue to print.

However, now that it is about to go on sale, it is necessary to reduce the printing again.

Originally, Su Qing wanted to talk about it, and at least persuaded the editor-in-chief to make the first print.

10 volumes may seem like a lot, but after distribution, there are not many others.

Not to mention online, how many bookstores can be opened offline? ? ?
In case "Journey to the West" really explodes by then, it will be too late for you guys to make up for it.

It's a pity that before Su Qing can tell, it's good, and another 2 volumes have been lost.

What are you kidding? ? ?

So Su Qing simply said: "I object!!"

"Xiao Su, I know what you think. In fact, it's not that we don't like "Journey to the West", but you know the psychology of current readers. They just want to read the straightforward plot, and they don't want to think about it at all. But "Journey to the West" "Journey to the West" is another ancient Chinese prose, such an obscure article, how many people do you think are willing to read it??"

Li Shang was worried that Su Qing might say something inappropriate, so he took the lead and said, "Thus, I feel that the 8 copies will definitely not be sold out."

Zhao Xiangbei also smiled and said, "Xiao Su, I know your love for "Journey to the West", but such a work is destined to be a niche, and it is difficult for niche literature to have a market."

Seeing Li Shang and Zhao Xiangbei, Su Qing became a little annoyed.

For a long time, Su Qing has been working steadily at Fengyang Publishing House. She likes the atmosphere here, and at the beginning Su Qing was recruited by the former editor-in-chief, and also taught her a lot. .

'Fengyang Publishing House' is a humane publishing house.

Compared with other cold interest publishing houses, or even some so-called unspoken rules, Su Qing likes it here.

But today, she was a little angry, and she hated it a little.

Sometimes it's more annoying if people are stupid than bad.

Niche literature? ?

No market? ?
Su Qing said to Li Shang and Zhao Xiangruo: "This "Journey to the West" is written in ancient Chinese, and the literariness in it is enough for many people to discuss. Do you know how many people there are in the Huaxia Ancient Chinese Research Association? Huaxia Poetry Research How many people are there in the association? Not to mention anything else, even the Literature Association will definitely approve this novel. Is this considered a minority??

Well, taking a step back, this "Journey to the West" is a minority, but the minority represents the cohesion and purchasing power. I originally thought that the first million copies of "Journey to the West" were not many, but we did not. It happens that 10 copies are printed for the first time. Yes, if the 10 copies are sold out quickly, then we will lose a little at most, and we can just speed up the printing. But have you thought about another thing? ? "

Having said that, Su Qing paused.

She is such a person.

Usually, on the Internet, Su Qing has never lost to others in debates, but in reality, she has never debated much, and she is more Buddhist.

It's just like this, many people in the publishing house think that Su Qing is a good person.

A good person often means a good temper, and sometimes even easy to bully.

For other editors, maybe it won't be like this. After all, whether it's the editor-in-chief or the editor-in-chief, the mood of the subordinates must also be considered.

Of course, for editors, they also have to fight for the rights and interests of their signed writers.

For example, Xiao Feng, why the strange uncle has been following him, isn't it because he has been fighting for generous conditions for the strange uncle.

Otherwise, if your editor is just a sounding board, then why am I always under your command? ? ?

Of course Su Qing knew this.

She just didn't want to fight before, and one more thing, she knew that Yu Xiaoshu probably didn't care about it.

But the first print of 10 copies is fine. Su Qing and Yu Xiaoshu called this number before.

At that time, Yu Xiaoshu jokingly said: "Heh, who do you look down on?"

Yes.

Let's not talk about looking down on 'Second Under Heaven'.

After all, 'The Second Under Heaven' has never written a novel.

Why don't you look down on "Journey to the West" so much.

One of the four great classics, this is it.

What is a masterpiece? ?
That is, no matter how much time has passed, no matter when and where it is, it affects all people, and even has far-reaching effects.

Just look at the influence of "Journey to the West" on the earth.

But what about the result? ?

This "Fengyang Publishing House" only gave a first print of 10 copies after reading it.

But Yu Xiaoshu didn't care.

He thinks that he will know how great "Journey to the West" is when it goes on the market.

Yu Xiaoshu didn't care, but Su Qing did.

She felt that 'Fengyang Publishing House', or rather the editor-in-chief, was too stupid. Even if the editor-in-chief was stupid, the editor-in-chief was also stupid.

Don't they really see the value of "Journey to the West"? ?
Besides, if it wasn't for me, how could Ren Yu Xiaoshu come to your 'Fengyang Publishing House'? ?

It turned out fine.

From 10 volumes to 8 volumes.

What is this for? ? ?
What about humiliating people? ? ?
For this reason, Su Qing almost slapped the table.

10 million copies.

Not a single volume is missing.

Whether it's the editor-in-chief or the editor-in-chief, they really haven't seen Su Qing explode like this, and Su Qing hasn't given the face of the two of them yet.

"Xiao Su, don't be angry, okay, just follow what you said, 10 copies, but..."

Zhao Xiangbei suppressed the anger in his heart, he smiled and asked Su Qing to sit down first, and then said: "If "Journey to the West" can't sell so many copies, then your bonus will be gone, and you will buy these books Walk……"

"The editor-in-chief..."

Li Shang's expression changed when he heard this, he was about to say something but was glared at by Zhao Xiangbei and dared not say anything.

Su Qing was a little disappointed, but she said without changing her expression: "Okay."

After finishing speaking, Su Qing turned her head and left the meeting room. She still needs to think about the promotional slogan for "Journey to the West" that will be listed next.

At the same time, think about the girdle of the book.

Then Su Qing called Yu Xiaoshu and said, "Okay, that's it."
