Another World Under My Pen

"...Facts once again prove that reality is different from novels!"

When he came out of Chen Sihai's office, Sun Peng looked complacent.

Before coming to Sun Peng, he envisioned many situations, including the possibility that this teacher Chen "dogs look at people inferiorly" and dismissed Sun Peng's requirements-isn't it written in many novels? The first time I always encounter some setbacks, and then find other people to cooperate and achieve great success, slap the face with strength...

But the contact with this teacher Chen proved the difference between reality and fiction.

Even before Sun Peng did not show his results, he was polite and he spoke, but he could feel that in his polite tone, what was hidden was a cold rejection of people thousands of miles away. But after Sun Peng took out the shooting of the eagle and Xiaoao, his excellent results immediately played a role. The animation teacher who had only politely responded to Sun Peng’s visit saw two novels, especially when he saw the author’s backstage draft fee figures. After that, I immediately became enthusiastic, and not only promised to organize a team of people as soon as possible to help Sun Peng make an animated short film, and even went a step further and discussed the possibility of making the entire animation with the students...

If you do it for five minutes, one month is enough! "

Thinking of the time Chen Sihai had promised himself, Sun Peng nodded in satisfaction. During one month of animation, he can find someone to do the soundtrack, and he can do it all by mid-June at the latest, just in time for the release of the new book on July 1st!

"Tsk, it's perfect!"

Sun Peng, who finally had a big rock in his heart, immediately became happy. This time he went to his alma mater to do this animation. Firstly, it was cheap. Of course, the fees for the younger brothers and sisters with less technical skills would not be too expensive, and it was enough to meet his needs; secondly, it was because these were not available The little guys who have been in the field of commercial animation may be able to open their minds and make what Sun Peng wants...

Sun Peng put out a deposit of 10,000 yuan and agreed to meet again in a week.

During this week, Chen Sihai was responsible for finding two veterans, plus five or six students, to form an animation team to complete this few minutes of animation. Sun Peng is responsible for writing the complete script. Of course, it is best to draw a detailed sub-shot script-it is not difficult for an animation major, but it is not so difficult to finish it in a week. Easy thing.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and Sun Peng gets busy when he gets home.

While Sun Peng was busy drawing the shots he wanted, the sales of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, which had been put on shelves in major bookstores and major e-commerce companies, began to slowly rise. After Sun Peng’s repeated advertising bombing, coupled with a variety of new book posts in the book review area, more and more old readers opened their wallets and bought a set of physical books for collection. Of course, it is only natural to watch classics like shooting sculptures slowly after buying them.

Therefore, the sales data of Shediao on Goku.com and Jingxi Mall are very good.

"From Monday to Friday, the two companies sold a total of 1,600 copies!"

When calling Sun Peng, Zheng Ye, the editor of Shuxiang Publishing House, said loudly, "Especially the Guque.com family, which sold more than 900 copies in five days... The sales volume in the two days of the weekend should be higher. Maybe the first week's sales can exceed 1,500!"

"...You mean, this number is very high?"

After blinking, Sun Peng asked with a confused face.

One thousand and five hundred books?

Isn't it said that Goku.com is the highest sales volume of all channels? Doesn't it mean that once the physical version of the traveler is listed, there are tens of thousands of copies a day? Why did I sell only 1,500 copies a week when I crossed?

"Tsk tut, of course!"

Of course, Zheng Ye didn’t know Sun Peng’s thoughts. He continued happily, “Shooting Eagle is a new book. It sells more than a thousand copies as soon as it hits the market. Isn’t that too high? Don’t say you are a newcomer, but some well-known The old author of, who can sell a thousand copies a week, can be considered good!"

"Uh……"

Pouting his lips, Sun Peng was of course not very satisfied with the editor's answer.

He thought that in this world where copyright protection is very good, the sales of classics like Eagle Shooting would immediately rise immediately after they were published. Unexpectedly...

"Huh? Right!"

Sun Peng suddenly slapped his thigh and quickly asked: "Editor Zheng, what you just said was only the data of Goku.com and Jingxi Mall? These are just two e-commerce companies. What about other e-commerce companies? How about bookstores? Always tell me the total number of sales, right?"

"Haha, how is this possible?!"

After hearing Sun Peng's question, Zheng Ye couldn't help laughing.

With Sun Peng's blank face, Zheng Ye patiently explained to Sun Peng the process of book publishing and distribution, as well as the statistical process of sales data.

To put it simply, the convention in the publishing industry is to sell first, then settle.

Under normal circumstances, dealers will send a replenishment order to the publisher every once in a while to supplement the books that have been sold. At this time, the publisher will send the new book to the major distributors. Of course, there are some publishing houses, because they publish a lot of books every month, they will regularly package and ship new books for distributors to sell.

According to the quality of the new book and the popularity of the author, the number of publishers' shipments varies.

Some well-known authors’ new books will be shipped more by publishers, and some hot books will even issue more than 100,000 copies in one go! However, the shipment volume of some newcomer writers' books will be much smaller. It is very common to add up to one or two thousand copies. After all, people have to return them if they can't sell them. Isn't the logistics cost?

Books sent out will only be settled after a period of time.

Regardless of e-commerce or physical bookstores, it is impossible to settle accounts to publishers once a week. In fact, it is not realistic to settle accounts once a month. Because firstly, the distributors are cooperating with countless publishing houses. If the settlement is done every week or every month, the financial staff will be exhausted. Secondly, if the time is short, the sales amount will not be too large, and the settlement is not very interesting.

In most cases, the dealers of the Bookstore Publishing House settle accounts every three months, or every six months.

At the time of settlement, the distributor will list a detailed list of data. Only then will the publisher know the true sales data of each book. Of course, there are some books that have been sold out before the settlement dealer, and a list is sent to request replenishment. At this time, the publisher can also know the sales data of the other party-the goods are sold out, and the sales are naturally clear at a glance!

"So it is difficult for us to accurately count the total sales!"

After explaining a good deal, Zheng Ye said with a smile: "Don't say that the Eagle Shooting has just been out for a few days, we can't make accurate statistics even after a year, because dealers have different settlement cycles and different settlement dates. Same! Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Sun Peng, who had almost understood, moved in his heart and asked quickly.

"Haha, unless your book can reach the level of the third part of "Black Flute"!"

After a haha ​​smile, Zheng Ye said half-jokingly: "If you can do that, don't talk about counting once a week, even if counting every day, it won't be a problem... ahem, in fact, even it is only counting the first. Only one day’s sales."

"……Ha ha!"

After a dry laugh, Sun Peng said nothing more.

Like the third part of Black Flute?

Sun Peng has never thought about it! In other words, he never dared to think about it!

A book that can be marketed globally, 6 million copies were sold on the first day, 28 million copies were sold in the first month, and more than 60 million books sold throughout the year, it is comparable to the earth. The existence of the little magician!

Maybe Zheng Ye also felt that using "Black Flute" as an example was a bit of a shock, and he quickly laughed: "But based on past experience, we can roughly infer the total sales, that is, multiply the sales of Goku.com by five times... …Well, six times is enough. Although it is not accurate, sometimes there are even big differences, but it should still be possible to infer roughly!"

When he heard this, Sun Peng's eyes suddenly brightened: "Oh? That means it will be 10,000 copies in the first week?"

"Well, almost!"

Zheng Ye's voice became very brisk, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. Sun, if we follow the sales trend of the first week, I think it will not take long to prepare for the shooting and printing..."
