Reborn Cultural Empire

But "Twilight" is not like this. At the time of the first statistical report, "Emperor Kangxi" sold 17 copies, while the former only had about 2 copies.Although in the end this figure should be able to exceed 20, it must have reached the definition of a bestseller in the Huaxia publishing industry, but compared with Yang Yi's other works, this is out-and-out Waterloo, a failure.Therefore, no matter who it is, they rarely mention this book in front of Yang Yi.

Now that the young man took the initiative to talk about this matter, Rogo couldn't open his mouth apart from being surprised and surprised.

But since his expression was not concealed, it naturally fell into the eyes of the boys. After being puzzled for a moment, Yang Yi also suddenly came to his senses, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "I said, Brother Luo, you don't think that mentioning it When it comes to "Twilight", it will embarrass me or something? I really have nothing to talk to you, is my mental capacity so unbearable? Besides, I have always been against "Twilight" I am very confident, okay, maybe the final sales of this book will exceed those I wrote before... Well, of course, "Those Things in the Song Dynasty" is very unlikely."

Regarding Yang Yi's words, Boss Fat naturally said "I don't believe it".

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, let's just talk about the key points." The boy waved his hand, not taking the fat man's expression seriously, but started planning on his own: "In the early stage of "Twilight", apart from the expenses, everything else How much can it add up? 70 should be about the same? Then simply make up 200 million, include the domestic profit of the book in the later period, and then contact Random House. As the promotion channel fee at Citigroup, Try to get it before June. Make this book a hit abroad."

"You mean, the book you wrote is aimed at foreign markets?" Rogo seemed to understand something.

"Of course it's abroad, or what do you think?" Yang Yi waved his hand disapprovingly: "If it's for the domestic market, why would I write something like a vampire? , I wouldn’t be so ignorant? If I hadn’t aimed at foreign markets, especially the Citigroup market from the very beginning, wouldn’t it be better for me to use Chinese folklore such as Xiangxi’s old corpse and Luohuadong girl as the background?”

Luo Ge turned around and thought, what Yang Yi said was really the same thing.Because of the hard work of the young man in rushing to the manuscript, the editors didn't dare to question anything after the manuscript arrived at the publishing house. They only thought that it was Yang Yi who wanted to make a breakthrough in creative materials, so he chose a book that Chinese people are not familiar with. The vampires are Westernized things, and then several chief editors named reviewers actually satiated their eyes with power for personal gain, and then handed them over to the proofreading editors. After the text proofreading was completed, they were directly sent to the printing factory for printing.How can anyone think so much?Even if someone later had doubts about the background and creative materials, it was after the sales results came out.

But now listening to what the other party said, it is obvious that Yang Yi really had some intentions in doing this, rather than acting on a whim: "Then what do you mean. Is this "Twilight" still has great potential to be tapped?"

"Of course, as I said, if it is a round of global sales, it may not even be able to compare with "Those Things in the Song Dynasty." Yang Yi shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands in affirmation, not feeling unhappy because of Rogo's hesitation.

In fact, if he hadn't come from the hereafter.Well, if there is such a person, tell him that there is a youth romance fantasy novel with the theme of vampires.Being able to approach the global sales volume of "Harry Potter", and the sales volume in Citigroup is a record-breaking 5000 million copies, his reaction must be bigger than that of Rogo, either sneer, or directly spit on that person's face.But because of the memory of later generations, and the perfect restoration of the "True Twilight Saga" in the previous life, which is almost 90.00% perfect, the boy can be sure that his plagiarized masterpiece will also be a great success in Citigroup.

5000 million copies may not be dared to think about it, but there is no pressure to break through 500 million copies. Even if it is [-] million copies in half, Yang Yi is very confident.

Therefore, for Rogo's question, he didn't bother to explain it and couldn't explain it clearly, but nodded and looked at it in a feigned dissatisfaction tone: "Why, Rogo, you don't even have confidence in me?"

"How could it be? See what you said!" Fatty Luo's face was filled with righteous indignation, patting his chest with a heroic look, but then he changed into a soft-footed shrimp who was careful not to offend the young man: "Well, Xiaoyi, you Are you really sure that this book will sell well abroad? Your "Those Things in the Song Dynasty" is now in its fifth volume, how much are the sales of the first five volumes combined, do you know yourself?"

"It seems to be more than 800 million copies? Mr. Zhao told me last time, but he didn't pay much attention to it." Yang Yi's innocent expression made people want to beat him up when they saw him—how could he be The author doesn't care about the sales of his works?Other domestic authors, not to mention the record of total sales of 800 million works and the highest sales volume of a single volume close to 200 million, even if they divide all these figures by ten, they will still be so excited that they can't sleep for days and nights.Only this kid in front of him doesn't treat bean buns as dry food, and his heartless expression makes people itch with hatred.

But other great writers don’t remember it themselves, and Fatty himself can’t be angry for the other party. After being speechless for a long time, he waved his hands weakly and said: “Forget it, I’m too lazy to tell you, it’s already 880 million now, and it’s about to break through 900 million.” Wan Daguan. Could it be that the sales of "Twilight" in Citigroup can catch up from behind?"

"The copyright law there is very mature, and they have all been implemented." When it comes to this topic, Yang Yi can't help but feel a little bit discouraged, but thinking of countless seniors, so many smart people can't solve this problem. The reborn foresight really can't change anything, so I can only put this issue aside first, and then nodded in affirmation: "Let's not talk about this, in short, sales are no problem, all we have to do now is to wait patiently. "

"Okay, okay, what you say is what you say, so what are we going to do now? What do you mean by mentioning "Twilight" and foreign markets?" I don't understand why, but after working with the other party for so long, Rogo believes that Yang Yi's every arrangement has his own intentions.

Sure enough, Yang Yi smiled confidently: "The last time we went to Shanghai News and Publishing Bureau to apply for a new ISBN approval, didn't Director Zhang mention something to us? Don't remember? Isn’t the 2000 annual meeting of the Asia Pacific Publishers Federation going to be held in Beijing in May this year? This is a very good time.”

Looking at Yang Yi's half-smile, at this moment, Boss Fat suddenly felt, why does this kid suddenly have a cunning posture?A best-selling book that the other party said would definitely be a big success in foreign markets, an industry giant that is almost a trust in the European and American publishing industry, and a provincial capital of the publishing industry that was hosted for the first time in China, plus the "foreign adults" in the minds of many officials The biggest thought braid... Mr. Fat, who has been in the publishing industry for seven or eight years longer than Yang Yi, caught a spark of inspiration in an instant: "You mean, carry out a close cooperation with Random House, and then rely on With the help of the other party's position in the publishing industry, when the Asia-Pacific Publishers Association's 2000 annual meeting is held, go there to build momentum?"

"Bingo, Rogo, you really are a profiteer." Yang Yi smiled and blamed Boss Fat, then nodded and said, "I'll do as you want, I think it's good."

"You bastard!" After being speechless for a while after being dumbfounded by the rare appearance of the young man, Boss Fat then asked in confusion, "Didn't you say it was the Asia-Pacific Publishers Association? Random House's influence in the industry Although the power is great, it is not enough to influence the affairs of the Asian region, especially our domestic circle?"

"This time it is the Asia-Pacific region in a broad sense, not the Asian region in the usual sense." Yang Yi smiled, and then patiently explained: "When I attended the Windsor Castle Writers Salon, I met some friends, and one of them He happened to be a member of the Booker Prize selection committee. When I contacted him not long ago, the other party said that this time the Asia-Pacific Publishers Annual Meeting may invite the chairman of the International Publishers Federation and the former chairman to participate together. The current Chairman Pere Mason himself is from the Sojitz Department of Random House. As for the former chairman, Fermondo, let alone the former chairman of Random House and now the chairman of Clover Group, so Roge, do you still think Can't they influence the publishing industry in the Asia-Pacific region?"

"Yes, it's so capable!" Completely ignoring the ridicule in Yang Yi's words, Rogo couldn't help but slapped his thigh hard, and then smirked indistinctly: "Not bad, boy, I'm still thinking about what to do. If you deal with those mother-in-laws in China, you have already taken the route of the big international capitalists, and this tactic of 'respecting foreigners' is really a bit old-fashioned and cunning."

"No wonder you can only be a cultural broker all your life, and you can't write half a book yourself. It turns out that you can't use the most basic words." Yang Yi retorted unceremoniously: "What is the taste of old crafty? This is a mature The qualities that a businessman in the cultural industry should have, that’s enough, I won’t tell you, let the President’s Office and Yangyi Publishing jointly form a business team, and discuss with Random House to see how to make “Twilight Saga” "To promote it. After the matter is explained, we will go to Jinling to inspect the goods immediately."

"Okay, Director Yang's orders, who dare not be obedient!" Fatty Luo rushed out of the office in high spirits, and he didn't forget to turn around and say: "Are you going to prepare things, or go to Kunshan first and then go directly to Jinling, right?" To be continued..)
