Chapter 22 Sold Out
[I feel like I am playing a stand-alone game alone. Please support me so that the author Jun can see that someone has been with him!]
Lin Han spent the whole day worried about gains and losses. This was the first science fiction novel he wrote. Even though he had received praise from many editors of "Science Fiction World" and even if there were many science fiction writers who deleted their own Weibo, the readers would always be the ones who determine their reputation and sales.
I was anxiously refreshing the network, wanting to see if there were any latest reviews, but I was a little afraid to see it. I turned it on and off, turned it on and off, and kept going back and forth, but I couldn't calm down.
This kind of worry about the unknown deeply troubled him. He could not write anything or read novels at all. He was in a daze all day long.
Fortunately, a text message was sent to his mobile phone. This was a message from his good friend Wang Hao in college.
"Lin Han, you finally want to set out again. When you were in college, you thought you had a very good writing style and should be a screenwriter. Now you have become a writer. I can see the novels you wrote in Wulong. They are very good and have a sense of picture. They are easier to put on the big screen than many novels."
After seeing the news, Lin Han realized that he had not contacted him for a while, and he didn't know which crew this guy was on.
So he quickly typed on the touch screen with his fingers and replied: "President Hao is still able to follow my novels in his busy schedule. It's true love. What are you doing at Wulong Film and Television Base? Which crew have you joined recently?"
"Oh, haven't I joined China TV? As a result, the TV station's "Journey to the West" filmed here was short of people, so I was transferred from Yanjing. There was no heating here. It was all about the body shaking, and I was so cold that I didn't know when I could go back."
Wang Hao has a small background at home, so he was recruited by Huaxia TV as soon as he graduated from university. He is also a formal employee and can enjoy the cool air with his back against a big tree, so his life has always been quite comfortable.
Lin Han saw the message sent by his friend, rubbed his eyes hard before confirming that he was not wrong. China TV station filmed "Journey to the West", which is big news!
The Chinese TV station in this world has similar status to CCTV and even has a wider influence. "Journey to the West" has always been a big IP. Previously, due to the opposition of Mr. Wu Cheng'en's descendants, it has never been able to film it.
Now I guess I feel that my technology is mature, so I started shooting the TV series with Huaxia TV station, trying to create an absolutely classic TV series.
When recalling this, Lin Han couldn't help but begin to sympathize with the young people in this world. He had never even watched the TV series Journey to the West. His childhood was really incomplete. I just hope that "Journey to the West" in this life can still be replayed thousands of times.
"When you go back to Yanjing, we will drink together and haven't been together for a long time." Lin Han replied. He didn't have many friends in his life, so he didn't want to lose any of them.
Wang Hao's text messages followed one after another, "Of course, you are a great writer. I will sign and save it. When you win the Nobel Prize in Literature, you can be used as a family heirloom. The director will start filming. I have to go over and help. Let's talk about it next time! I have to leave a good impression on the director and hope to direct one of the episodes. I don't know if it is the Demon-Elimination of the Monkey King or the Arts Yuhuazhou."
"Okay, go ahead and look forward to seeing the episode you shot on TV."
After throwing the phone aside, Lin Han smiled bitterly. It was harder to win the Nobel Prize with science fiction works, even just a nomination is better than reaching the sky.
But isn’t this difficult challenge the meaning of your time travel?
If you just want to become famous and make money, then it’s OK to copy the science fiction novels you saw in your previous life. It’s not difficult to find someone to promote it and become a best-selling writer.
But people always have to pursue it. Now the one in front of Lin Han has a lofty and grand goal, nominated for the Nobel Prize or even won the award!
The goal is not afraid of being far away. Just step by step and slowly move towards the front, and one day you will touch it. After Lin Han figured it out, he immediately became full of energy.
...
In the "Science Fiction World" magazine, the staff responsible for counting sales are nervously processing the data. So much data is gathered across the country here, and ordinary people can't understand the things on the monitor here.
"Xiao Qian, Editor-in-Chief Tan asked you to go there and bring the latest statistics."
"Okay, let's go right away."
With the freshly baked data, Xiao Qian walked into the editor-in-chief's office with a smile. After knocking on the door, he said, "Boss, are you looking for me?"
The middle-aged man with a gentle body turned around and smiled and said, "You sit first, and then talk about the sales situation of this period."
"It's only less than a day passed, but at present, sales have increased compared to October's issue, with sales volumes being 5% higher during the same period. The current statistics show that 450,000 copies have been sold."
A monthly magazine can sell 800,000 or 900,000 copies in total, of which half will be accounted for in the first two days, and each day will be in a diminishing form, which is a normal state.
Of course, there is also the word-of-mouth route. If there are sci-fi masters publishing articles, sales will explode on the first day, and they will be more popular in the long run, so they can exceed one million copies.
Now the sales volume of this issue of "Science Fiction World" on the first day has increased a little compared to the previous issue. The statistics are 450,000 copies, and there are some places where the data is not fed back in time. If you roughly estimate it, it is a total of 500,000 copies.
"The sales volume is still very good. When the dealer calls, there are out of stocks in several cities. Now we are in urgent need of stock replenishment."
Xiao Qian seemed to have thought of something, and he continued: "In fact, through the big data statistics, we found that the first places to sell out were near the school, and the stalls near the school generally have the most sufficient supply, but they sold out the first, so it was a bit strange."
While talking, another staff member hurriedly knocked on the door and then gasped and replied: "Editor-in-Chief, we have received quite a lot of feedback at present, and many places have doubled down on our supply. It is said that Xinhua Bookstores in Dongyang and Yanjing areas have been sold out."
"So popular?" Tan Lin frowned, and he said, "You inform all members and we will hold a short meeting immediately. After the meeting, we will decide the number of printings. Now we will stabilize these dealers first."
The printing volume of "Science Fiction World" is carried out according to 800,000 copies each time. It is rare to print, only two or three times a year. Now, the November issue has stubbornly obtained more orders in the absence of great attractions. This has to be said to be a small miracle.
"Xiao Qian, you go back first to prepare for the meeting. Remember to monitor our sales changes at any time."
Tan Lin, who has seen strong winds and waves, was not in a hurry. He had to make a suitable number for printing, not too much or too little. He needed special staff to set sales expectations.
