Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 494 Sales of the Publishing House

Guo Wenxing has a 5% stake in Jinkela, which was promised by He Ping at the beginning.

He Ping pressed Guo Wenxing's hand down, looked at him, and said in a more serious tone, "Professor Guo, you earned this money by relying on your knowledge and technology, and every penny is clean, so you can take it with peace of mind!"

Guo Wenxing was a little hesitant, his throat twitched, "Then... I took it?"

He Ping smiled and said, "Take it with confidence!"

Guo Wenxing received a six-figure year-end bonus, and asked He Ping for a vacation with some embarrassment. He has been in Hantun for the past few years and has not returned to his hometown. It is not Harbin, but the hometown where he grew up.

In the past few years, he was hit, his family was broken, his life was gloomy, which led to his alcoholism and his mental decadence.Now that the old comrades are busy with their careers, they have gradually come out of the shadows and miss their hometown.

Guo Wenxing left Jinkela and began to enjoy the rare vacation in the past few years.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the streets and alleys in Ping County are getting stronger and stronger.

Jin Kela is not far from Hongqi Daji and Hongqi Town. He Ping went to the market to buy some New Year's goods, and then rode back home.

Next to the small courtyard of their own house, the area of ​​the Writer's Village has been fenced off. Wang Hongli and Cai Ping from the Northeast Courtyard returned to Fengcheng and gave He Ping three versions of the design drawings, but they still failed to meet He Ping's psychological expectations.

It was not until the fourth edition of the design drawings that He Ping recognized their design. It took nearly half a year to go back and forth, and the construction of the Writers Village was delayed until next year.

The day before yesterday, Liang Yue came in to give He Ping the dividends from the publishing house. Although the publishing house's affiliation fees have increased this year, their profits have reached a new high. He Ping personally received 452 million.

There are two main reasons why this year's profits hit a record high.

One, of course, is the best-selling of published books.

After several years of popularity, pen copybooks have gradually become the main way for students in Northeast China to learn pen calligraphy, with sales of nearly 80 sets a year.The sales performance of Tsarist Russian Literature Classics Series and American Literature Classics Series has been very stable, with an annual sales volume of 60 million sets.

The most surprising thing is the Nobel Literature Classics series, which sold 210 million sets this year. You must know that this is a series of dozens of books, priced at 15 yuan. This shows that people in this age are eager for literature and foreign things.

Brother Zhenkai, who is in charge of the compilation of the series in Beijing, is no longer satisfied with the literature series. He began to extend his palm to the humanities and social sciences series.More than 20 people under him are developing "British Literary Classics Series" and "Biography of American Celebrities" at the same time.The series of famous literary works is now the signature of the publishing house, and the biography of celebrities is a new direction for Zhenkai brother to expand. The trend of worshiping beauty in China is now on the rise, and the market prospect is broad.

The martial arts novel "Heroes" has been published in 4 volumes, with a cumulative sales volume of 860 million copies this year.And Cha Haisheng, who resigned and moved to Ping County to be a neighbor with He Ping, has had more time this year, and he has tinkered with his own "The Good Man", which just came out at the end of the year, and the sales volume has not yet been calculated.

Another mainstay of the publishing house's sales is naturally He Ping's novels.This year, Liang Yuejin published He Ping's short and medium science fiction novels as a collection. These science fiction novels had been published before, but the splash was not big. After all, domestic science fiction literature was still suppressed in the past few years.

This year, "He Ping's Collection of Short and Novels Science Fiction" was republished. Relying on He Ping's reputation, it has achieved a good sales volume, exceeding 50 copies.

He Ping, a writer who has been recognized by the mainstream literary world, has dabbled in science fiction, and also let domestic science fiction fans see the hope of the rise of science fiction.

As for the trilogy of Chinese names, this was a gimmick made by He Ping when "Fugui" was first published, and Liang Yuejin inherited it without shame, "Fugui", "Lu Deshui", "Xu Sanguan" Both have reached a sales volume of 200 million each, which is only one year's sales.Among them, "Lu Deshui" is a novella, which was expanded into a book by Liang Yuejin abruptly by means of illustrations, enlarging font size, and line spacing.

This guy also produced a hardcover version of a trilogy of Chinese names. Originally, a volume of novels cost 7 or 8 cents, but this guy dared to ask for 5 yuan if he changed the packaging.The key point is that some people think that the hardcover version of the trilogy has sold a full 90 sets. You say it is annoying or not.

Speaking of sales, one of He Ping's works that has to be mentioned is "Jiahui". This literary weapon that He Ping created to defeat Qi Dongqiang, a scumbag, created a miraculous sales myth once it came out. The sales volume of the book has not dropped, with more than 500 million copies sold in one year, and tens of millions of copies sold in two years.

After that, it was picked up by the national TV station and prepared to be adapted into a TV series, but the TV series "Jiahui" has been silent since the crew moved to the capital last year.

When the second part of "East Love" was broadcast on national TV, He Ping called Zhang Shaolin to ask about it. It is said that after the filming, a leader of the national TV station didn't like it after watching it. He thought it was an allusion. The experience of my old father has been suppressed for several months.

He Ping wanted to laugh when he heard that. It seems that no matter when there are many scumbags, the father of the head of the national TV station is now 70 to [-] years old. He is a proper scumbag before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

However, the national TV station's investment of real money cannot be wasted because of a certain leader's personal feelings.

The broadcast effect of this TV series filmed in Hantun is still unknown, but it should make Hantun's name more famous.

Compared with the previous works, "Red Sorghum Family" is a silent representative in He Ping's series of works. From the time it was published in "People's Literature" to its publication, "Red Sorghum Family" did not cause any sensation sexual response.

"Red Sorghum Family" is of course a very good novel, but it still has a certain gap with He Ping's "Fugui" and "Xu Sanguan".

The sales volume of "Red Sorghum Family" in one year can break through one million copies, which is not obvious among He Ping's works that often sell millions of copies.

But despite the mediocre book sales of "Red Sorghum Family", this novel has been sought after by the film and television industry. Many studios and TV stations have thrown olive branches at He Ping, hoping to make "Red Sorghum Family" "Adapted into a movie or TV series.

Many of He Ping's works have been adapted, from "Spirit and Flesh", "Lu Deshui" to "Jiahui", he never refuses anyone.

But this time He Ping did not easily hand over the film and television adaptation of the novel, because "Red Sorghum Family" deserves better people.
