If it could really sell so many books, Redapple would not only beat Shanqiu in this year's book sales list, but would also be ranked among the top among many magazines.
"Impossible. We'd be lucky if we could sell 500,000 copies."
Shanqiu's colleagues also said sourly that online articles are about immediate feelings, and it is normal for readers to have a temporary buying craze, but their books need to be sold slowly over the long term.
However, readers' enthusiasm was greater than Redapple expected. After "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping" was placed in the recommended position of the bookstore, it didn't take long for the recommended position to become empty, so restocking became the norm.
There are also some readers who have never read "The Wind Rises in the Green Duckweed" before. They will stop and take a look. If they have enough time, they will even spend an afternoon in the bookstore, and they will definitely take away a copy of "The Wind Rises in the Green Duckweed" when they leave.
This led to the discussion of "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping" being reignited on Star Network even though it had been completed for a long time.
There are also readers from the Abyss Galaxy who post asking for purchasing agents - Redapple is just an ordinary publishing house and naturally does not have the ability to sell books to the Abyss Galaxy.
[There are so many wealthy people who pay extra to buy things on your behalf.]
[If I hadn't only bought one copy, I would have been tempted. ]
[…The store near my house is out of stock again. I give up! Is it really that hard to get an autograph?]
Under the incredulous gaze of publishing staff like Miao Yang, the sales of "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping" are still accelerating.
"500,000 copies! That's 500,000 copies!!"
Do online literature readers have such strong purchasing power?
The series "Wind Rises and Green Ping" has made Redapple profitably visible, and one editor suggested to the editor-in-chief: "Should we consider signing more online writers?"
The editor-in-chief shook his head silently: "The only thing that can achieve such sales is probably teriyaki chicken legs. It's difficult for others to do so."
…
Redapple was delighted, but Hill House was a little depressed.
In fact, Redapple was not the only one that considered signing the teriyaki chicken legs. Shanqiu also thought about signing the person, but the editor-in-chief of Shanqiu thought that although signing was fine, the teriyaki chicken legs were not worth such a high price.
He felt that it was the invincibility of Teriyaki Chicken Legs in the online literature circle that made Diaoyu Entertainment arrogant, and they dared to offer such a high signing price. Redapple was also crazy about signing the contract.
After Redapple signed "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping", the editor-in-chief Shanqiu waited coldly to see the other party make a fool of themselves.
After "The Wind Rises and the Green Duckweed" failed to get a good position in the bookstore, Editor-in-Chief Shanqiu smiled and said nothing.
After the first print run of "Wind Rises and Green Duckweed" sold out, Shanqiu, the editor-in-chief, faced questions from his editors and said coldly, "They only printed a few copies in the first print run. Don't take it too seriously."
——Although at that time, the sales of "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping" had already surpassed that of the famous writer signed by Shanqiu.
500,000 copies of "The Wind Rises and the Green Duckweed" were reprinted. Shanqiu's editor-in-chief scoffed, "Isn't this crazy? Are you so confident about the BBQ chicken legs?"
He looked down on it while watching "The Wind Rises and the Green Ping" easily sell 50,000, 100,000 copies...
When more than half of the 500,000 copies of "The Wind Rises and the Green Duckweed" were sold, and judging by the trend, the 500,000 copies were simply not enough to stop the sales, Editor-in-Chief Shanqiu finally couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Why did he think the price offered by Sculpture Entertainment was too high? Just looking at the sales of "Wind Rises and Green Ping," it wasn't expensive at all, right?
The signing fee for the famous writer signed by Shanqiu Publishing House is not low, but up to now, the number of copies sold has not even reached the number of copies of the first print of "The Wind Rises and the Green Duckweed".
That’s right, this famous writer wants to take a long-term approach, but it depends on the sales trend. No matter how he takes a long-term approach, the sales volume will never reach one-tenth of that of "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping".
Is there any meaning in such a long-term investment? It is just a way to comfort myself.
The key point is that "Wind Rises in the Sky" is still selling. As a colleague, he can figure out how much Redapple has earned just by doing the math.
The huge success of "The Wind Rises and the Green Weeds" means that he made a wrong decision. After all, Shanqiu also participated in the competition for the copyright of this book.
Editor Shanqiu couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about how happy the editor-in-chief of Redapple would be when they met next time.
"Let's think of a way to fight for the copyrights of 'Becoming F4' and 'The King of Draft'."
Although due to the subject matter, even if these two books are published, their collection value will not exceed that of "The Wind Rises in the Green Ping".
"These two books...are a bit difficult now."
Editor-in-Chief Shanqiu glanced over.
"'Wind Rises' is selling so well, and a bunch of our peers are watching us. We... don't have an advantage."
Speaking of which, Hill Publishing is not one of the top companies in the publishing industry, but is just in a higher position.
"Who is vying for it?" the editor-in-chief couldn't help but ask.
Among the publishers recommended by his subordinates were two top publishers in the industry, as well as several publishers that were comparable in strength to Shanqiu Publishing House and had performed slightly better in recent years.
Editor-in-Chief: “…”
How could he say this? He had nothing to say now.
The price raised by these competitors was much higher than the offer Redapple had made. Before, he would definitely have called them "crazy".
But now, should he follow or not?
