But this is not the case for "Twilight". At the time of the first statistical report, "Emperor Kangxi" sold 170,000 copies, while the former only had about 20,000 copies. Although this figure should be able to exceed 200,000 in the end, which will definitely meet the Chinese publishing industry's definition of a best-seller, compared with Yang Yi's other works, this is an out-and-out Waterloo and a failure. Therefore, no matter who it is, they rarely mention this book in front of Yang Yi. Now that the young man took the initiative to talk about this matter, Luo Ge was not only surprised and surprised, but naturally he couldn't say anything. But since his expression was not concealed, it naturally fell into the eyes of the boy. After being stunned for a moment, Yang Yi suddenly woke up and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Luo, you don't think that mentioning "Twilight" will embarrass me or something, right? I really have nothing to say to you. Is my mental capacity so unbearable? I'm very confident, okay? Maybe the final sales of this book will exceed those I wrote before Well, of course, "Those Things in the Song Dynasty" is unlikely. " Regarding Yang Yi's words. , the fat manager naturally said "I don't believe it" on his face. "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, let's just get to the point." The boy waved his hand, not taking notice of the fat man's expression, and started planning on his own: "The pre-production code of "Twilight" is huge, except for the expenses. How much can it add up to? Seven hundred thousand should be about the same, right? Then just gather up two million, include the later domestic profits of this book, and then contact Random House. Pay for promotion channels and make this book a hit abroad. " "You mean, the book you wrote is for foreign markets?" Luo Ge seemed to understand something. "Of course it's abroad, or what else do you think?" Yang Yi waved his hand disapprovingly: "If it was for the domestic market, why would I write something like vampires? It doesn't sound like I have a sense of substitution. After all, I am also a gold medal best-selling author. , I’m not so ignorant, am I? If I hadn’t targeted the foreign market from the beginning, wouldn’t it be better if I used Chinese folklore such as the Old Corpse in Xiangxi and the Girl in the Luohua Cave as the background?” Luo Ge turned around. Think about it, what Yang Yi said is really the same thing. Because of the hard work of the young man in rushing out the manuscript, after the manuscript arrived at the publishing house, the editors did not dare to question anything at all. They just thought that Yang Yi wanted to make a breakthrough in creative materials, so they chose a book that was not familiar to Chinese people. Westernized things like vampires, then several editors-in-chief reviewed the manuscript but were actually enjoying their own interests through power scheming, and then handed it over directly to the proofreading editor. After the text was proofread, it was directly taken to the printing house for printing. How could anyone think so much? Even if someone later has questions about the background and creative materials, it will only happen after the sales results are released. But now listening to what the other party said, it was obvious that Yang Yi really had a purpose in doing this, rather than doing it on a whim: "What do you mean, is this "Twilight" still has great potential to be tapped?" " Of course, I said it, if the global sales were, it might not even be comparable to "Those Things in the Song Dynasty". Yang Yi shrugged with certainty and was not unhappy because of Luo Ge's hesitation. In fact, if he does not come from the later generations. So if there is such a person, tell him that there is a youth love fantasy novel with a vampire theme. Being able to approach the global sales of "Harry Potter", and the sales in Citiland is a record-breaking 50 million copies, his reaction must be greater than Rogo, either sneer, or directly spit in that person's face . But because of the memory of later generations and the nearly 95% perfect restoration of the "True Twilight" from the previous life, the boy is sure that his plagiarized masterpiece will also be able to win the Citizen University. be successful. Fifty million copies may not be imagined, but there is no pressure to exceed 10 million. Even if it is 25 million copies, Yang Yi is very confident. Therefore, regarding Luo Ge's question, he was too lazy to explain and couldn't explain it clearly. Instead, he nodded directly and looked at him with a pretended dissatisfaction tone: "Why, Brother Luo, you don't have confidence in me anymore?" "How could that be? Let's see what you say. "Yeah!" Fatty Luo's face was filled with indignation, and he patted his chest with pride, but then he changed into a soft-footed shrimp who was careful not to anger the young man: "Well, Xiao Yi, you are really sure that this book will sell well abroad. ? Your "Those Things in the Song Dynasty" is currently in its fifth volume. Do you know the total sales of the first five volumes? " "It seems to be more than eight million copies," Mr. Zhao told me last time. I said it, but I didn’t take it to heart.” Yang Yi’s innocent expression made people want to slap him - how can an author not care about the sales of his works? For other domestic authors, let alone the total sales of their works is 800Ten thousand, the highest sales volume of a single volume is close to two million records. Even if you divide all this data by ten, you will be so excited that you can't sleep for days and nights. Only the kid in front of me didn't regard bean buns as solid food. His face was so heartless that it made people hate him. But the great writer himself didn't remember it, and the fat man himself couldn't be angry for the other party. After being speechless for a long time, he could only wave his hands feebly and said: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you, it's already 8.8 million now, it will be soon It’s about to break the 9 million mark. Can the sales of “Twilight” be surpassed in Citiland? “The copyright laws there are very mature and implemented.” Speaking of this topic, Yang Yi. He couldn't help but feel a little unmotivated, but thinking about countless predecessors and so many smart people who couldn't solve this problem, and his reborn foresight alone couldn't really change anything, so he could only put this problem aside and turn to And nodded in affirmation: "Don't talk about this, anyway, there is no problem with sales. Now all we have to do is wait patiently." "Okay, okay, it's whatever you say, so what do we have to do now? It's clearly said How did you get to the top? What do you mean by "Twilight" and foreign markets?" He was confused about the young man's intentions, but after working with him for such a long time, Luo Ge believed Yang Yi's every plan. They all have their purpose. Sure enough, Yang Yi smiled confidently: "Last time we went to the Shanghai Press and Publication Bureau to apply for a new ISBN, didn't Director Zhang mention something to us? Don't you remember? Isn’t the 2000 Annual Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Publishers Association going to be held in Beijing this May? This is a great opportunity.” Looking at Yang Yi’s half-smiling look, the fat manager suddenly felt like it. , why do you think this kid suddenly has a bit of cleverness? A best-seller that the other party said would definitely be a big success in foreign markets, an industry giant that was almost a trust in the European and American publishing industry, and a provincial capital of the publishing industry that was hosted for the first time in China, plus many officials thought of "foreign adults" The biggest thought The fat manager, who has been in the publishing industry for seven or eight years longer than Yang Yi, instantly caught a spark of inspiration: "You mean, have a close cooperation with Random House, and then rely on Taking advantage of the other party's position in the publishing industry, when the Asia-Pacific Publishers Association's 2000th Annual Conference is held, where can we go to build momentum? " "Bingo, Luo Ge, you are indeed a profiteer," Yang Yi said to the fat manager with a smile. He took a scapegoat, then nodded and said: "I'll do what you want, I think it's good." "You kid!" The young man's rare appearance made him laugh and cry. After being speechless for a while, the fat manager then said doubtfully. : "Didn't you say that is the Asia-Pacific Publishers Association? Although Random House has a great influence in the industry, it cannot still influence the affairs of the Asian region, especially our domestic circles, right?" "This time it is The Asia-Pacific region in the broad sense, not the Asia region in the usual sense." Yang Yi smiled and then explained patiently: "When I participated in the Windsor Castle Writers Salon before, I met some friends, and one of them happened to be Booker. When a member of the Award Selection Committee contacted him not long ago, the other party said that this time the Asia-Pacific Publishers Annual Meeting might invite the Chairman of the International Publishers Federation and the former Chairman to participate, and the current Chairman Perema Sen himself is from Random House Doubleday. As for the former chairman Fairmundo, not to mention, he is the former chairman of Random House and now the Clove Group, so Brother Luo, you still think they can't influence the Asia-Pacific "Regional publishing industry affairs?" "Yes, it's really awesome!" Completely ignoring Yang Yi's ridicule, Luo Ge couldn't help but slap his thigh, and then giggled without any image: "Not bad, boy, I am still thinking about how to deal with those mothers-in-law in China, but you have already followed the route of the big international capitalists. This method of 'taking advantage of others' is really a bit cunning. " "No wonder you have been so cunning all your life. I can only be a cultural broker, and I can't write half a book myself. It turns out that I can't even use the most basic words." Yang Yi retorted unceremoniously: "What does it mean to be a cunning businessman? This is what a mature businessman in the cultural industry should have. Okay, I won’t tell you about my quality. Now quickly ask the President’s Office and Yangyi Publishing to jointly form a business team and contact Random House to discuss how to promote “Twilight”. After the matter has been explained, we will go to Jinling to inspect the goods immediately. ""Okay, who dares not to obey Director Yang's orders!" Fatty Luo rushed out of the office in high spirits, not forgetting to say back: "You are ready to prepare things. It’s better to go to Kunshan first and then go directly to Jinling, right?” (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
