The cross-border king of entertainment

Chapter 101 0101, the police came to the door
"Madman, isn't there an extra zero for this sales volume?"

On Friday afternoon, Wang Defa and Ma Siyu came to Shanghai.

Wang Defa confirmed it three times, and the count was correct. It was 1000 million copies, which is really unbelievable.

"No more zeros, it's 1000 million volumes." Yunfeng had a happy smile on his face.

Although it is the sum of the sales of the five novels, on average, the sales volume of one and a half months is 200 million copies.

"It turns out that on Blue Star, paper books are king."

You know, none of these five novels has more than 100 million subscriptions.

The advancement of technology will not eliminate some traditional things. Looking at it now, paper books are one of them, at least this is the case on Blue Star.

When Ma Siyu saw the sales figures, he was also quite shocked. At the beginning, he had the mentality of helping Yunfeng, and he was not rushing to make money.

What he was thinking about was how many copies would he have to sell in order to keep up with the money his family made from a pig.

However, the sales of 1000 million copies made him start to pay attention.

"If you hold signing events in major cities, the sales will definitely go up to a higher level."

After hearing Ma Siyu's words, Yunfeng quickly waved his hands and said, "No, let's talk about it later."

Wang Defa asked: "Madman, how much profit can you make from these 1000 million copies?"

Yunfeng thought for a while, and said: "I haven't calculated it, but it won't be particularly high, because I planned to take the route of small profits but high sales, so the price I set was not very high."

After all, Ma Siyu knows how to do business better than the two of them, and said: "I think we can publish commemorative editions or collector's editions, improve the quality of books, and then increase the price, so that we can cover high-consumer groups."

Wang Defa followed suit: "Yes, make a signed limited edition."

"Hmm..." Yunfeng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can have this."

If you can make money, why not do it.

However, for such high-priced products, the quantity should not be too much, and only a small amount can reflect its value. Rare things are more expensive, and even "hunger marketing" can be used.

Wang Defa changed the subject and asked, "What type of short story do you plan to write next?"

Hearing this, Ma Siyu said with a smile: "I have written fairy tales, martial arts, thrillers and suspense, and adaptations of classics. There are not many genres left for you."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I might write a book about romance."

Because the achievement of the main business is already more than 4, I want to work harder to get it to [-], but "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will take at least a month to finish, so I can only continue to publish short stories.

Upon hearing that it was about romance, Wang Defa asked again: "Campus love story?"

Yunfeng did not answer, but fell into deep thought.

Just now I said "maybe I will write a novel about romance", I was half joking, but after I finished speaking, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and had an idea.

He had watched a TV series called "Pawn Shop No. 8" in his previous life on Earth. It seemed to be an adaptation of a novel, which was very interesting.

He remembered enough plots to write out the outline, and then slowly perfected the detailed outline.

I saw a slight smile on Yunfeng's face, and he asked abruptly: "If there is such a pawnshop, no matter what you want, you can get what you want, but you have to pay an equivalent price, what would you want?" What are you willing to give in exchange?"

This question made Wang Defa and Ma Siyu a little confused.

After a while, Wang Defa asked tentatively, "Is this about your short story?"

Yunfeng nodded.

Wang Defa immediately became interested, and asked: "What story, tell me?"

"I've already said it." Yunfeng said with a smile on his face, "Let's use our imagination."

Ma Siyu said: "Don't spoil the story, what you enjoy in the novel is the process of reading it. If you know the direction of the plot, it will be meaningless."

The reason why he likes Yunfeng's novels is because they have unique routines, and he can never guess what the protagonist will do next, and there will be constant surprises watching that way.

Yunfeng smiled and said: "I just have a rough idea, I haven't started thinking about the plot yet, and I can't spoil it even if I want to spoil it."

Wang Defa flattened his mouth and said: "It's all right now, what you said made my heart itch."

Ma Siyu sighed: "Now, I'm just pointing at your novels and songs to dawdle."

Yunfeng smiled and said, "Be patient for a few days, the serialization should start next week."

Wang Defa seemed to remember something, and asked, "Have you watched the online drama "Cat's Eye"?"

Yunfeng replied: "Look, I caught up with the latest episode."

Wang Defa asked again: "What do you think of the adaptation? In these ten episodes, two self-created side plots have been added."

Yunfeng commented: "It's pretty good. The creepy and weird atmosphere is very good, and the acting skills of the actors are also online. Since it's an adaptation, it's normal to add a self-created plot."

Ma Siyu said: "I think the two sub-plots they added have little impact, and the main plot is still the same as in the novel."

"In fact, the degree of restoration is quite high." Wang Defa shook his head and sighed: "The recent web dramas that are also adapted from novels are changed beyond recognition. can not tell."

Ma Siyu snorted and said: "The investment is not much, and the funds are limited. They are all small screenwriters and directors. Can the filming be good?"

The quality of online dramas is lower than that of TV dramas broadcast on Satellite TV. Of course, this is not absolute, and there are quite a few big-investment, high-quality dramas.

Talking with Wang Defa and Ma Siyu until very late, Yunfeng didn't go back to school.

Before going to bed, he posted a Weibo post about his new book warming up.

[What can I ask for in a lifetime]: Haha, I'm squatting down, and I'm tweeting in the middle of the night again.

[Yubao]: Heavenly King, I bought all your novels and books, please flop!
[Big Breast Brother]: If there is such a pawn shop, can I pawn my ex-boyfriend?Just change it for one dollar.

[Poetry and wine taking advantage of the time]: Girl upstairs, how much do you hate your ex-boyfriend.

[Meat in meat meets meat]: It must be fifty catties of fat for five centimeters of height.

……

The night owls came out and started talking.

----

The weekend passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the counselor called Yunfeng out of the classroom again, and this time he was in class.

As soon as Yunfeng left the classroom, he saw the counselor's face was not very good-looking, and there were two uniformed policemen in the corridor.

I did nothing wrong, did I?
no……

Yunfeng thought about it for a while, he didn't seem to be doing much recently, mostly at school.

I only heard the counselor say: "What have you done, please explain to the police comrades."

One of the policemen stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Cao Yang, and this is my colleague Liuhe. We are policemen from the Gaojiabao Police Station in Sanqin Province. This is my police officer ID. Don't be afraid." , We just want to know something about you."

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.

What am I afraid of?
Yunfeng nodded and smiled, "Hello, I wonder what the police comrades want to know about me?"

Cao Yang replied: "Our police station busted a gang of tomb robbers during the Spring Festival. Among them, there were two suspects who said they were instigated by you."

The counselor turned pale with astonishment when he heard this, why did he have anything to do with the tomb robbers?
Could it be that those people who came to Yunfeng earlier...

He was wondering if he should explain it to the two policemen.

Yunfeng was also startled, and then asked: "Comrade policeman, you must have made a mistake, right?"

Cao Yang explained: "It's like this. The two of them insisted that they were ordered by a person nicknamed 'Crossover Heavenly King' to rob the tomb. After our investigation, you are the only one in the whole country who used this ID, so we will Come and find out."

Relatively speaking, Liu He was more serious and asked more directly: "Where are you during the Spring Festival?"

Yunfeng replied truthfully: "At home, Hangzhou."

Liu He asked again: "Who are you with?"

"Family and friends." Yunfeng smiled wryly, and said, "Comrade policemen, what they don't say is 'hair the mound seal, touch the golden talisman, protect the body but not the ghost and blow the lamp; Come closer; vertical burial pits, box tombs, moving mountains and unloading mountains to walk around; red-clothed fierce, smiling corpses, laughing at ghosts is better than listening to ghosts crying.’ Such a thing?”

Cao Yang nodded, and said: "Yes, yes, they also said that they inherited the 'Mojin Talisman' from you, and you were awarded the position of 'Mojin Captain', which is legitimate for digging graves and treasures."

Liu He said in a deep voice: "It seems that you have to go to the police station with us."

Yunfeng said helplessly: "Comrade police, these are the things written in a tomb-robbing novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" that I serialized on Panda Chinese Online, such as 'people light candles, ghosts blow out lamps', 'touch the golden talisman', 'touch the Captain Kim' is all fiction."

"novel?"

"imaginary?"

Cao Yang and Liu He looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yunfeng quickly took out his mobile phone, opened a certain Chinese website, and showed the two of them "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

After watching for a while, Cao Yang and Liu He confirmed that the two suspects were lying, which is really ridiculous.
