Chapter 412 Please Don't Buy Anymore

For Gu Xiaobai's fans, how can it be enough to buy only one copy of Xiaobai's first "photobook"?
Of course, buy a book for collection, buy a book to read, and buy another book to cut and paste on the wall.

Oops, there are small whites on both sides of the front, one copy is not enough to cut and paste, so I have to buy two copies!

Moreover, compared to other celebrities' photobooks, which only have some "messages" that look like chicken soup for the soul but actually have no content, every word in Gu Xiaobai's book is soaked in the author's painstaking efforts of.

This is buying a photobook and getting knowledge.

After all, this is a genuine collection of essays...

Of course, for publishing houses, they think it should be selling a collection of essays and giving away a photobook...

But no matter what to sell and what to give away, there is only one way to face such a huge demand.

Overprint!

Print again!

Keep printing!

No matter how many copies are printed, as long as they are put on the shelves, they will be sold out in an instant.

In the end, the publishing house was terrified, and really didn't know how much to print. The development track of this book has surpassed all their previous statistical data, theoretical models, and market analysis...

Moreover, the cost of printing is too high, and the funds of the previous model can no longer keep up, so we have to open pre-orders in major online stores, the kind of payment first and then delivery.

Now it's a big game, and the number of fans' pre-orders has doubled.

What is the concept of a collection of essays rushing to the bestseller lists of online booksellers such as JD.com, Dangdang, and Amazon?
The Northwest Historical Society and the Publishing House laughed from ear to ear.

The two jointly held a press conference: "Here, on behalf of the Northwest Historical Society and the Northwest History Publishing House, I solemnly announce that, in addition to the royalties that should be paid to Gu Xiaobai, we will Donate 5 yuan to the 'Gu Xiaobai Institute of Acoustics' to fund Gu Xiaobai's acoustic and historical research, and hope that Gu Xiaobai can write a better paper and publish a monograph one day."

Five yuan for a book donation doesn't seem like much.

But considering its own cost, the profits of the bookseller channel, and the reasonable profits of the publishing house, it is actually a lot.

Part of the 5 yuan is that the publishing house squeezed its own profits. In addition, because of the large-scale printing, the publishing house can lower the price with the printing house to extract funds.

After all, such a collection of essays has printed hundreds of thousands of copies. It is an absolute annual super hit book, and its bargaining power is also leveraged, whether it is for printing houses or online platforms.

And the publishing house showed such sincerity to cooperate with Gu Xiaobai.

Such a collection of essays can sell so much, what if Gu Xiaobai publishes a monograph of essays someday?That's not crazy!

The leader of the publishing house made a very wise decision, lose money now, buy the future!
"Here, we will first donate 40 million directional funds from the pre-order of the first 200 volumes to the 'Gu Xiaobai Institute of Acoustics'..."

At the meeting site, a staff member from Dongyuan University was responsible for accepting the funds, because the object of the donation this time was the "Baisheng Institute", not Gu Xiaobai's private research institute "Baisheng Center".

After all, donating to a university is much easier to operate than donating to a private institution.

And this donation ceremony aroused a burst of enthusiasm on the Internet, and Gu Xiaobai's fans generously donated their money to contribute to Gu Xiaobai's laboratory.

The sales volume of this collection of essays went directly to millions of copies...

This is simply magic.

After 2000 in China, according to available records, the book with the highest sales volume was "Wolf Totem", which sold 2000 million copies, but it was a novel, the audience and pricing were completely different from the collection of essays.

Gu Xiaobai's performance did not disappoint the fans' expectations. News soon came that Dongyuan University's "Gu Xiaobai Institute of Acoustics" and "Dongyuan University's Institute of Architectural Acoustics" jointly undertook the Dongcheng Bell and Drum Tower reconstruction project , among which Gu Xiaobai, as a sophomore in school, became one of the three special consultants for the project.

When the news came, Gu Xiaobai's fans cheered loudly. Being able to support his idol, and supporting such an outstanding idol, is a great sense of accomplishment for every fan.

However, another bad news soon came, causing fans on the Internet to be in an uproar.

"Due to heavy research tasks, Gu Xiaobai may be absent from Chang'an, the first stop of the ten-city tour!"

What the hell?

absent?

What's the point of the ten-city tour!
The Ten Cities Tour is a tour of Dongwon University School Song Contest winners.

Apart from Gu Xiaobai, Fu Wenyao and Wen Xiaowen have the most fans, followed by Hua Minyu, Zhu Qinan and so on.

But the few people behind added up, the fans are not half as much as Gu Xiaobai's.

After the news of the ten-city tour first spread, the netizens in these ten cities went crazy with joy.

You can hear Gu Xiaobai singing at the door of the house, and it is definitely not one song, but many songs.

I am so happy!

Maybe Xiaobai will be kinder and bring Zhoujiu Band and 306 together?

On the left is "Yanyan", on the right is "Youth Walk", on the left is "Champion Overture", and on the right is "You Are Cheap", which makes people feel the feeling of ice and fire...

What a cool word!
Therefore, the tickets for the first station Chang'an Station were sold out as soon as they were released.

On the Internet, there are even a lot of scalpers who increase their prices.

As soon as the news came out, the Internet was full of grief.

Xiaobai, you have changed, how can you be like this!
All kinds of scolding came one after another, and the expectations for idols were too high, and there was no response, which made many fans feel that they had been humiliated.

Even if there is no scolding, loss is inevitable.

Of course, there are also people who scold the organization that publishes the news: "In the current media, they dare to guess anything casually, speculate all over the article, and don't even have a serious interview, just because Xiaobai is busy. Article, and then add a word 'or', can you get rid of responsibility? Can you write irresponsibly?"

"Xiaobai didn't even come out to speak out! Garbage media!"

But there are more and more related news, and there is a feeling of jitteriness.

Among the various news, Gu Xiaobai has not come out to calm the public opinion, and Gu Xiaobai's fans have gradually become silent. This rhythm is too familiar.

Gu Xiaobai has always been like this, does not respond to online public opinion, does not comment, and directly slaps him in the face!
If Gu Xiaobai really wanted to be absent, he must have already said it. The rumors that are coming out now must be spread by someone behind the scenes.

What is still being discussed now is instead the idlers in society, who feel that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Seeing that the news spread suddenly calmed down, there was another news on the Internet, a person who claimed to be Gu Xiaobai's true fan for ten years said: "I beg you, don't buy Xiaobai's essays anymore! Don’t you understand now? Xiaobai’s singing is purely to make money to support the laboratory. Every time you buy a collection of Gu Xiaobai’s essays, you are obliterating a new song that has not yet been born, and you are providing ammunition for Xiaobai’s physical cells , is killing Xiaobai’s music cells, there is no killing if there is no business! Save Xiaobai’s music cells! Save Xiaobai’s new song! Give music a way out!”

Somewhere in the capital, the director of the marketing department of a publishing house deleted the last sentence of this passage with tears in his eyes before sending it: "Feng Yidong's photo album is slow to sell, help us!"
