Chapter 207 Out of stock
(The number of recommended tickets every day is too small. If you have stock, you can vote for the author's jing)
Supplements are not as good as ordinary monthly magazines. Most of the time, sales are not very good, so you should pay special attention when printing, and generally speaking, you will not print them again.
After investigation, Zhao Yuanqun decided to take a gamble. He believed that the popularity of the Internet was not false, so the number of printed copies was set at 500,000 copies, which was an extremely amazing number.
After all the quantity and content were finalized, the supplementary issue of "Science Pictorial" entered the printing factory, and as the machine rumbling operation was running, square characters appeared, bound into books and then packed them up.
With the determination of the launch time, readers online were almost eager to book this issue of magazines on their official website, but the booking of magazines is basically half a year or a year, and there has never been a single order for a supplementary issue.
So I can only get up early and try to get it on the day of release.
No matter how the magazine sold, Lin Han had no influence at all. He was busy with the script of "Jurassic Park" on his own, while the casting on "Martian Rescue" was in a stalemate.
The actor the director is interested in is not the first actor Xu to audition, but another powerful actor Cheng En, who is very popular, is the so-called box office lucky star. However, the other party asked for too high a salary, with a global box office dividend of 25 million yuan + 5%.
The reason why Chinese-language movies are frequently produced is that the production cost is too high. Sometimes it is even more than the shooting cost and post-production.
The movie is not good, and the stars come to make up the money, and all the money is spent on the celebrities, so the special effects are 50 cents, the costumes are chaotic, and the background is narrow.
Chang'e Pictures is willing to pay for films but refuses to pay dividends for box offices. The box office dividends are not much. Lin Han, the original author and screenwriter, and now even actors are all divided. Then the proportion of successful production is very small, which is not cost-effective at all.
Lin Han affirmed the acting skills and appearance of the actor Cheng En. He was also one of his candidates at the time, but the issue of pay must be solved, and the other party even said that this was the friendship price.
A movie with a dividend of more than 20 million yuan and a dividend is actually a friendship price. Lin Han thought about how hard he has written so many books and his wealth has not exceeded 10 million yuan. Celebrities are too ruthless to make money.
An Anxin wrote scripts, watched movies, and went out for a date and had fun. Lin Han's life was very comfortable.
In the blink of an eye, time came to early August. The supplementary issue of Science Pictorial had been released and was soon launched nationwide. You don’t need to buy a book or save money. You just drink less water easily.
...
August 2nd, a very ordinary Wednesday, and there was peace at home and abroad, and nothing major happened. "The King of War" could not find too much material to play.
People across the country are as calm as ever to work and school, except for a small group of fans who are extremely excited.
Fu Tingchuan set out from his community garage. As a middle-level leader of a large company, he is only 35 years old when he is young and strong, and is expected to continue to improve.
But when working hours were tight, he drove the car to the newsstand next to the neighborhood, rolled down the window and said to the boss: "Boss, I'll give me a copy of the Science Pictorial that I just published today, and I'll have the Wandering Earth."
"Now, do you have change?" The boss looked at the book stall and took out the Science Pictorial that he had just obtained from the dealer today.
"Uh, no, please make up ten dollars for me with a bottle of water." Fu Tingchuan said. His usual hobby was to read science fiction novels, but there were too few that could catch his eye until the emergence of Lin Han, the writer.
The owner of the newsstand walked to the front of the BMW with books and drinks. After taking the ten yuan, he handed over the things to Fu Tingchuan. Then he turned around slowly and returned to his position.
He muttered, "Today, the Science Pictorial is a little easier to sell. If I had known, I would have bought two more copies."
Fu Tingchuan put the magazine in his handbag before driving on the road. He didn't want others to see him holding the magazine. It was not convenient to share his personal hobbies with others.
The reader group of science fiction novels is probably the highest, most of them are young people, which is very different from the middle-aged and elderly readers in Europe and the United States.
At the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Zhao Xu, who usually stayed in bed and refused to get up every day, rarely got up before 8 o'clock. The roommate who was memorizing TOEFL words in the dormitory was very surprised, "On the 9th day, why did you go crazy today? Did you get up so early?"
"I went out to get the book, and I was afraid that it would be taken away by someone else if I went too late, so I paid the deposit." Zhao Xu quickly put on a T-shirt and shorts, then rushed to the balcony to wash his face and brush his teeth.
“…”
The roommate was speechless for a while and had to continue burying his head in the ocean of words. Everyone has their own ambitions, and no one can make decisions for anyone.
Zhao Xu rode his bicycle out of the dormitory building quickly, and a whirlwind blew up the school road, and his feet came to the largest newspaper booth in the university town like he was stepping on a hot wheel.
"Uncle Han, is there any of my Science Pictorial?"
Before the person arrived, the voice came, which was really anxious.
Han Yu, the owner of the newsstand, was wearing a white vest, beach pants, flip-flops, and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. He said angrily: "Here, I have left you 5 books. Why are you doing so many books alone?"
"Hehe, I have my use, thank you!" Zhao Xu put the five books on the back seat of the bicycle and then left at a speed.
Only Han Yu was left standing at the door. He took a cigarette and sucked the clouds and continued to play with these magazines and books, without taking this little episode seriously.
However, three hours passed, and from time to time, someone came to buy a book called "Science Pictorial" and pointed out that he wanted to buy "The Wandering Earth". Han Yu sold all the more than ten books here, and he realized it.
The 500,000 magazine supplements have not yet been splashed in the domestic market. Before today was over, general dealers from many regions opened the phone to request goods.
After selling out, there are almost no newspaper booths that can be asked about. Most newspaper booths have only entered one to decorate the storefront. Who knew it would be so popular?
Some remote newspaper booths were also asked by interested readers, but the answers they received were gone!
If you can’t buy a book in reality, you can only search online. There are two choices in front of these readers.
One is to choose to download the electronic version of the "Science Pictorial" supplement for 5 yuan, including all picture designs and novel contents in the physical version.
Another one is to choose to download the electronic version of "The Wandering Earth" for 1 cent. This article is only included and does not include anything else.
Readers quickly made their own decisions, and the most bizarre phenomenon in the book market this year emerged!
The physical version of "Science Pictorial" has been sought after unprecedentedly, with 500,000 copies sold out, and it seems that 100,000 copies can be digested even if it comes to another 100,000 copies. However, its electronic version has become unpopular, with less than 50,000 people paying to download it, which is almost unheard of.
Now the gap between the electronic version and the physical version has narrowed to a certain extent, but the gap between 50,000 and 500,000 is obviously not a small matter, and people are keen on buying physical versions.
Could it be that the electronic version of the cold winter has arrived? When industry people focused on the electronic version of "The Wandering Earth", they discovered another strange flower.
"The Wandering Earth", which costs only 1 cent, sold 290,000 people in one day! On the one hand, it is because the novel is too famous and has always been aroused. On the other hand, it is because the price is very low, so who can't afford a penny?
Anyone who picks up a red envelope in the group can read books, and the number of people who buy it is cheap is high.
When these two completely different phenomena are put together, the conclusion is naturally clear.
Most of those who are willing to buy the physical supplement of "Science Pictorial" are for Lin Han's article "The Wandering Earth", so when the electronic version is separated, they are definitely unwilling to spend money to buy other people's novels to read.
It’s not much to get five yuan, but there is no need to waste it. Anyway, they just want to watch Lin Han, and the rest of the writers can watch it or not.
This time, the charm of Lin Han’s novels was clearly displayed in front of everyone!
I was not satisfied with reading the novel. Many people are looking for physical books under Lin Han’s Weibo. The physical books are easy to save, and there are more physical items to collect and commemorate them.
A magazine with an original price of only 5 yuan was actually willing to buy it for 50 yuan and support SF Express on-duty, but almost no one sold it.
In the Hanlin Academy forum, some people also failed to get it, and the call for purchases and magazines to print them has never stopped.
Zhao Xu gave Lin Han a thumbs up on Weibo with satisfaction, then picked up his four extra books and took photos carefully and then passed them to "Xianyu".
Xianyu is a second-hand transaction area of the Tengou Shopping website. People can exchange their existence and whether they have or not is there. They can resell idle items without going through complicated store opening procedures.
"Ten hundred percent of the new "Science Fiction" supplement in August, absolutely genuine! The cover, inner page and illustration photos of "The Wandering Earth" are as follows, priced at 200 yuan, no free shipping!"
Zhao Xu muttered in his heart that I just earned some living expenses for myself, not deliberately reselling them at a high price.
The price of RMB 200 has discouraged many people. Why do you want to be a sucker for novels that you can read with a penny?
But when I buy it, I don’t see it, but collect it!
Chapter completed!
