It’s not that Zheng Zhihe’s incompetence caused the delay to take so long, but that the court has to go through normal procedures, and the hearing usually takes some time after the defendant receives the summons.
The day of the trial happened to be half a month before "Teen Idol" went on sale.
The latest sales data across the country have not yet been compiled, but Zou Weijun has already obtained the provincial data in Sichuan Province.
In half a month, just half a month, "Youth Idol" sold more than 70,000 copies across the province!
As early as a week ago, Zou Weijun decisively asked the printing house to print more copies. There may still be goods in other cities, but the books now sold in bookstores in Sichuan Province are already the second printing.
On the first day in Chengdu, 4,221 copies were sold. The provincial sales data were delayed. It took a few days for Wen Ying to find out that the sales volume of "Young Idol" in the province had almost exceeded 10,000.
The influence of Chengdu’s paper media propaganda has radiated to the surrounding cities of Chengdu.
Zou Weijun decided to print more copies at that time, but he had some differences with the department leaders over how many thousands of copies to print.
The leader wanted to print 100,000 more copies first, but Zou Weijun thought at least 200,000 more copies should be printed.
As the sales volume of "Teen Idol" continued to climb in the province, the leadership compromised with Zou Weijun and agreed to print an additional 200,000 copies.
Fortunately, this was the case. By August 15th, booksellers in other cities outside the province also requested replenishment.
The 200,000 books piled up in the warehouse took up a lot of space, but as they were distributed throughout the country, they were quickly reduced by more than half.
How many million copies of "Teen Idol" can be sold?
have no idea!
Looking at the current trend, 300,000 copies is no problem.
As long as all the printed books are sold, Wen Ying can get 11% of the royalties. If the number exceeds 300,000, even if there is only one more book, Wen Ying will get 12% of the royalties.
The stepped royalty signing method that Zou Weijun secured for Wen Ying has already begun to show its power.
There is a settlement cycle of three months. She is also looking forward to how much royalties Wen Ying can get from the first settlement.
Because of this momentum, the leaders of the publishing department are particularly concerned about the outcome of the lawsuit - after the lawsuit is won, a wave of publicity must be arranged to make "Teen Idol" popular again!
Humph, although the national sales volume has not yet been calculated, the Shandong Province is the only one that has not replenished the goods, and the goods received were few at the beginning. Someone must be causing trouble.
The leader has already regarded "Teen Idol" as a key project for the second half of this year. Anyone who destroys the sales of "Teen Idol" will be his enemy.
Knowing that the court would be held today, the leader specifically gave Editor Wan a hint.
"You may not be able to reach a verdict in the first trial, but I can't say for sure. I heard from Xiao Zou that the lawyer Zheng she hired is very powerful and has collected enough evidence. If the verdict is really reached in court...you know what I'm saying
What should I say?"
Editor Wan nodded vigorously.
"I see!"
The leader was immediately satisfied.
Therefore, all kinds of people are useful in a department. Of course, an upright subordinate like Xiao Zou is helpful, but an experienced person like Editor Wan is also indispensable.
Editor Wan called Song Foxiang as soon as he left the office and asked Song Foxiang to contact two media friends.
"Old Song, do you want to bet again? This time we bet on a lawsuit -"
"I don't gamble. How can I, a dignified editor-in-chief of a magazine, be addicted to gambling?"
Song Foxiang refused.
Last time I bet on the first-day sales volume of "Teenage Idol" in Chengdu, Song Foxiang said 3,000 copies, and Editor Wan said 4,000 copies. As a result, the first-day sales volume was 4,221 copies, and Editor Wan won. Song Foxiang was willing to admit defeat and invited Editor Wan to drink.
Editor Wan is so cruel, he just opened the Moutai that Song Foxiang has treasured for many years!
Although half a month has passed, Song Foxiang has not recovered yet and is still heartbroken.
What a pity.
Editor Wan subconsciously licked his mouth after being rejected, still recalling the taste of Maotai from Song Fo Township.
Song Foxiang refused the bet, but agreed to invite friends from the media to stay at the gate of the court.
At the same time, Song Foxiang is more curious about the author of "Young Idol", "Fish Against the Current". If Song Foxiang wanted to push "Young Idol" purely to disgust Zhao Dong at the beginning, he has acted in "Young Idol" for so long.
"True Love Fan", Song Foxiang has already performed his feelings.
He really wanted to see the "fish against the current".
I even want to introduce "Fish Against the Current" to my daughter Song Chan.
I heard that "Fish Against the Current" is very young. If young authors communicate more, they can make progress together!
Song Foxiang asked "Fish Against the Current" if he would go to court today. Editor Wan really didn't know: "Xiao Zou has protected this author very well. The publishing contract is signed separately, and we are not allowed to have access to the author's information.
The author himself should not be involved in such trivial matters. The author himself is also very low-key, and I probably won’t see him today.”
Editor Wan is so greasy that he still has a little admiration for the "fish against the current" approach of only writing books but not showing up.
Nowadays, society is becoming more and more impetuous, including literary creation. There are precedents of best-selling youth literature writers who have made huge profits personally from marketing works to marketing. Young authors who can endure loneliness and immerse themselves in creation are really rare.
Of course, there may be another situation. It is not that a "fish against the current" wants to keep a low profile, but that Zou Weijun has discovered a new author with unlimited potential, and is very wary of colleagues in the same department, for fear of being poached by someone.
After all, "Fish Against the Current" was originally recruited by Zou Weijun from "Egg"!
Editor Wan had such a secret intention, and neither dared to complain in front of Zou Weijun, nor could he complain to Song Foxiang.
——Song Foxiang dared not touch Zou Weijun after being beaten, but until a new target appeared, Zou Weijun was still Song Foxiang's "goddess".
It’s okay to drink Moutai from Song Fo Township, but it’s not okay to insult the goddess of Song Fo Township!
Song Foxiang is very sorry.
"Then I can only find a chance to meet this author again in the future."
You can keep a low profile for a while, but you can't keep a low profile forever.
"Teen Idol" is selling well, so we will definitely have book signings or something like that in the future. It's impossible for a "fish against the current" to keep hiding its true identity.
…
Editor Wan and Song Foxiang both guessed wrong. Wen Ying was very willing to go to court today.
She wanted to protect her vest, and since there were no outsiders at the court hearing, her parents would not know what Wen Ying was afraid of.
It's been a long time since I saw Senior Brother Zheng hitting people, and Wen Ying felt a little nostalgic.
Wen Ying was also curious whether Han Qin would appear in court.
It is normal for the defendants to be absent from the trial, and some defendants will even quibble that they have not received the summons... With the character of Chief Editor Han, he should not do such a rogue thing. Editor Han is a rogue in his heart but not on the surface. If he does not dare to come to court, how can he
Doesn't it mean that Editor Han has a guilty conscience?
Students were on summer vacation and parents had to go to work as usual. Wen Ying didn't have to make up excuses to her parents. She waited until Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong had gone out before carrying her schoolbag downstairs.
Xiao Salamander said she wanted to go there together. Wen Ying looked around but didn't see Xiao Salamander. Her eyes hurriedly glanced across the street and then quickly turned back.
Under the tall banyan tree, stood the boy who had been separated from Wen Ying for a month.
He is so eye-catching, standing quietly without doing anything is the most beautiful scenery.
