Chapter 243: Stupid People Have Stupid Blessings

The sales of "Lord of the Rings" have brought surprises to everyone from the very beginning.

Random House thought that the effect of cooperation with Universal would be greater than 1+1.

But what it will look like, no one knows until the result comes out.

Therefore, Random House is preparing 2 copies for the release of The Lord of the Rings.

At the same time, the "easter egg" link was accidentally leaked through the mouth of an "insider".

I want to use people's mysterious yearning and curiosity about the East to earn a wave of attention.

Effect……

It can only be said that it is great, 2 copies have been sold for a week, and there are only less than 5000 copies left.

Compared with the best-selling authors, this number is naturally not worth mentioning.

But the key is that the stamina shown by "Lord of the Rings" is very strong.

Very strong, stronger than anyone expected.

When the publicity was relatively low, the sales of "Lord of the Rings" did not decrease but increased.

The moment they saw the graph, Random House knew that it was time for them to find an additional order from the printing house.

"10 volumes, Langdon directly placed an order for 10 volumes, and he is ready to gamble on you."

"But it also shows how optimistic the other party is about the potential of the Lord of the Rings."

The single volume is priced at US$15, and according to the 10% royalty, Xiao Yuan can get US$1.5 for every copy sold.

Of course, this is only an approximation, and the actual number is lower than this.

If the 10 copies are sold out, Xiao Yuan will actually get around 13.8 to 14.2 copies.

If it is converted into RMB, there is a distance from a million dollars, but it is not too far away.

"It's only an early stage. Langdon has already seen the potential of the book, and will carry out the next step of promotion and publicity."

Find "The New Yorker" to write soft articles, and contact well-known authors who cooperate with the publishing house to give some positive comments.

Another wave of hype and publicity can effectively increase the actual sales of "Lord of the Rings".

However, this also means that the honeymoon period between Random House and Universal is over.

Next, Langdon will do everything possible to separate the book from the film.

It is best to create a strong sense of separation.

Because they saw the best-selling potential from "Lord of the Rings".

And if the movie is performed badly, it is tantamount to consuming the potential and vitality of the book. '

Most of the books that rely on the movie's popularity for a while will disappear without a trace after the explosion period.

Because these people didn't come for the book at all.

And those who really want to buy books will naturally be affected by the visual solidification of the movie.

Then, many people who want to buy books will remove it from their purchase list for various reasons.

To put it bluntly, it is to replace the real fans who really love reading with a group of fake fans who consume impulsively.

This business cannot be described as a loss, it is a blood loss!

Initially, Langdon was very optimistic about "The Lord of the Rings", but he didn't expect it to have such potential.

For a newcomer, only Langdon himself knows how terrible it is to sell 1.5 copies in the first week of release.

Had it known that it had such potential, Random House would never have thought of cooperating with Universal.

At first, they also reported that they were bundled with the movie and enjoyed a wave of movie bonuses.

In this way, at least it can guarantee that you will not lose money, and you will earn more or less.

Now, the person who made this decision just wanted to slap himself.

"If the follow-up performance is good, Langdon will carry out overseas promotion. Before the movie comes out, Langdon will do his best to solidify the impression and minimize the influence of the movie."

Xiao Yuan on the other end of the phone nodded thoughtfully.

He remembered that he seemed to have seen it before. The "Harry Potter" series was actually the worst period for book sales during the movie release period.

After the movie bonus ended, sales continued to increase, which was extremely strong.

If John hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about it.

However, even if it is affected, there should still be sales of 1 million copies.

Judging from the current sales volume, the style of "Lord of the Rings" is still very popular in this world.

With a sufficient audience, there are giants like Random House to promote, plus movie bonuses.

1 million should be there anyway.

Langdon's continuing income, plus film dividends, etc.

It should be sufficient for the initial purchase and operating expenses to support the stall.

As for the more distant ones, Xiao Yuan doesn't intend to worry about them.

Besides, he didn't have only one "Lord of the Rings" in his hand.

With this premise, Random House will pay attention to the next book no matter which series it is.

Whether it is pricing or the proportion of copyright sharing, it should be increased, right?
John was very pleased with Xiao Yuan's open-minded performance: "I thought you would have some regrets, but Arya knows you better."

"Of course, don't forget who has stayed with him the longest." Arya's proud voice came from beside her.

"Xiao, when you come again, you will treat me to a big meal. You will become a rich man." Lily shouted into the microphone: "Besides, I have to go shopping, you promised me."

"Hmm~ good." Xiao Yuan responded with a smile.

Promised Lily to take her to buy, buy, buy a whole year package for Hank, give John a new set of clubs, and Arya's Dragon Kingdom special necklace.

Here, the first three things can be done directly with money.

Only the last item requires Xiao Yuan to spend time choosing carefully.

Characteristics, how can it be regarded as having the characteristics of the Dragon Kingdom?

It's not that Xiao Yuan doesn't know, but he feels that there are too many necklaces with the characteristics of the Dragon Kingdom.

Those handmade products with folk customs are enough to fill a large bag.

He Yu didn't hear any sound coming from the room, so He Yu walked to the door and looked in, Xiao Yuan was sitting at the desk in a daze.

"Come to eat after the fight, it's ready." He Yu said.

"Oh, good." Xiao Yuan nodded, put his phone on the table and followed him out.

"Zhang Xiao, it's time to eat."

"coming."

Running and jumping to make a shooting motion, Zhang Xiao opened the chair and sat down and said happily: "Idiot, how many days have I not eaten together, do I need to make an appointment to see you in the future?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head and smiled, thought for a while and said, "Just make a phone call."

Because he thought that the laboratory cannot be entered and exited casually.

After Yuanxing's business is officially launched, it will also have a 'confidential' nature.

Without permission and work card, you really need to make an appointment to get in.

However, as long as they make a phone call, Xiao Yuan will appear at any time.

"Hey, you're serious." Zhang Xiao patted him hard on the back, and Zhang Xiao suddenly sensed a 'murderous look. '

Turning around, the eldest sister was indeed staring at his hand on Xiao Yuan's back.

It's like saying "or else, it's better to cut it off."

"Cough cough cough~" Xiao Yuan was coughing continuously while being photographed by him, but there was a cute smile on his face.

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Zhang Xiao shook his head speechlessly: "Oh, idiot, idiot, it is true that idiots have idiots. '
