Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Chapter 71 70. Additional Printing

Eighteen thousand copies is obviously just the beginning. The real sales boom comes after get off work and school after five o'clock in the afternoon. The continuous feedback data from various bookstores also makes Yanshan Wenhua Publishing House excited.

When everyone got together again at nine o'clock in the evening, the sales figures in front of them had already more than doubled.

"Sales started at 8 a.m. today. As of 8 p.m., sales in nine major cities across the country reached 73,600 copies, of which Kyoto's local sales reached 41,000 copies, Mingzhu's 5,600 copies, and Tianjin's There are three thousand three hundred volumes in the door..."

The staff stood on the stage and reported loudly to the leaders sitting in the audience. The series of figures were extremely exciting. Didn't you see that even the usually stern Editor Li was smiling all over his face at this moment.

"Okay, very good. How long has it been since our publishing house has had such a high-selling work? This is only the first volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and there are seven more volumes left. As long as this momentum is maintained, the sales volume of this set of books will exceed one million There’s no pressure at all.” After the staff’s report, Editor-in-Chief Li stood up and applauded.

"Yes, "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" cultivated a group of loyal readers when it was serialized in newspapers, but I didn't expect that it would be so popular after being published as a book. Sure enough, good works will never worry about sales."

"That's right, it seems that we will treat Lao Liu to a meal later to express our gratitude. If their newspaper hadn't done such a good publicity for us in advance, maybe we wouldn't have such high first-day sales today."

"Hahahahahaha..."

After Editor Li spoke, the rest of the people present also started laughing and chatting. The atmosphere in the conference room was also extremely relaxed. Who made this book perform so well on the first day? A work that has predictably sold millions of copies. Undoubtedly, it has brought a rare achievement to everyone present. How could everyone be in a bad mood?

"Everyone, don't be too busy having fun. There is still a problem before us." Just as everyone was laughing and laughing, Editor Li suddenly stood up and said.

Now everyone was confused. This book was selling so well. What was the problem?

"A total of 73,600 copies were sold today. In our previous plan, the total number of copies of "Jingjue Ancient City" was 200,000. However, judging from the first-day sales, 200,000 is obviously I can’t help it, I think we should discuss the additional printing quantity first.”

The problem raised by Editor-in-Chief Li can be called a happy worry, but worries are worries. No one can guarantee that the data they give is correct regarding how much more copies should be printed.

Some proposed 50,000 or 100,000, and some directly said to double the issue of 200,000 copies. However, these suggestions were very inconsistent and did not help Editor Li's decision. Just when Editor Li had a headache, he wanted to make everyone When it was quiet, a voice suddenly caught Editor Li's attention.

"Can we ask the editor-in-chief of the newspaper? "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has always been serialized in their newspaper. They should have a deeper understanding of this book, right?"

"My enemy, ask Lao Liu, he will definitely have data that can help us."

"Call now!"

This suggestion was on point. Editor Li glanced at the man appreciatively and wondered why he didn't think of asking. After all, as the man said, those who have been following "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" obviously have no interest in this book. The potential of books is best understood.

Soon ****'s call was answered. Editor Li quickly told him about his situation here, and then asked the question that troubled him.

"Hahaha, Lao Li, I told you when you printed 200,000 copies that you were too small-minded."

"Yes, I admit that I am being conservative. Brother, can you give me some advice now? We are all waiting here." After being sarcastically remarked by ****, Editor Li also admitted it. Who knew that he was so sure at the time? I underestimated this novel.

"I'm not kidding you anymore. If you want to print more copies, I personally recommend starting at least 300,000. What I mean is to print another 300,000 copies on top of your 200,000 copies. If there are any that can't be sold, , I will pay the bill when the time comes!" **** said this with confidence, and the most important reason was his optimism for the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

When I first heard about the sales plan of one million copies of the book made by the guys from the publishing house, I had already laughed at Editor Li privately. In his opinion, this achievement was simply a joke. If the book had a million copies, if he was the publisher's The editor-in-chief will definitely make a plan to produce a million copies of a single book.

After all, he has been growing up with this book since the beginning, and he has never doubted the potential of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

After hearing the answer given by ****, most people in the publishing house's conference room fell silent.

Editor Li thought about it for a long time and hesitated for a long time. He did not say whether he would accept the suggestion or not. He was just a little anxious while waiting on the other end of the phone. Why were these people still hesitating when they had such good results on the first day?

Thinking of this, **** suddenly remembered the poem he saw in Zhou Aiguo's office, and immediately said: "Old Li, do you know that the child who wrote "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" once wrote a poem, I Now remember, listen to me read it to you."

Speaking of flowers, **** directly told Editor Li the song "Jiang Chengzi" regardless of whether he wanted to listen or not.

After the poem was finished, **** continued to persuade: "Old Li, your nickname used to be 'Li Dadan'. How did you live these years? Why did you suddenly become timid? Facing such an opportunity, shouldn't we fight for it? Imagine that poem, a child has such courage and determination when facing the future. Shouldn't we, who are decades older, be timid instead?"

****'s words made everyone in the conference room speechless. Editor Li was immersed in the artistic conception of the poem, thinking about the hardworking and enterprising spirit when he was young, and felt a little disgusted with his hesitation at this time.

Looking at the dazzling sales figures on the projection screen of the podium, Editor Li gritted his teeth and finally gave an answer.

"Lao Liu, I believe you this time. Print, print another 300,000 for me!"

With Editor-in-Chief Li's words, the printing factory under Yanshan Wenhua Group began to work overtime again, and the sales in the following week also proved ****'s foresight. The first print of 200,000 copies was sold out in less than seven days, and more than half of the additional 300,000 copies have been ordered by bookstores. The sales of the first volume of 500,000 does not seem to be a dream.

Editor-in-Chief Li now has a hobby, which is to sit in his office chair and read the sales report every day, especially the numbers behind the column of "Ghost Blowing the Light". Every time he reads it, the smile on Editor-in-Chief Li's face becomes brighter.

The editor-in-chief is in a good mood, and the atmosphere of the publishing house as a whole has also become more lively. However, at this time, there are always some people who can't help but pick out to "play tricks".
