When the phone rang, Li Qing didn't move until the noise made his ears hurt. He closed his eyes and slowly stretched out his right hand from the bed. After groping for a while, he found the phone and said in a hoarse voice: "Hello..."
"Hello, Mr. Qinglian Sword Immortal... uh, did I disturb your rest?"
Listening to the anxious female voice, Li Qing opened his eyes suddenly and stared for a long time before realizing that the sunlight outside the window was dazzling. He looked at the caller ID on his phone and quickly stood up, "Hello, Miss Cai, I just woke up.
Excuse me."
"Haha, that's right."
Cai Afen said with a smile: "It seems that I really disturbed your rest, but it is already eleven o'clock at noon. Please take care of your body while working. No matter how good your work is, you need a healthy body to support it."
When Li Qing heard this, he immediately felt even more embarrassed, "That's what Miss Cai said."
Affen Cai paused and continued: "I'm sorry to disturb you, but the bookstore has urged us many times... I wonder when you have a schedule. Can you come to Hong Kong to hold a few "Looking for Qin Ji" signing parties?"
"Signing session?"
Li Qing's slightly confused brain slowly became clearer, "Wait a moment, I'll think about it."
As an artist, the shortcomings of not having an agent are highlighted at this time.
He needs to carefully sort out the things that need to be done recently. If he has an agent, even an assistant, he will not be like this at the moment. He only needs to ask for an announcement, and the results can be quickly arranged.
It would be great if Han Han was still here...
Li Qing scratched his head, and suddenly the image of the hangover in the bar last night came to his mind, and he was instantly embarrassed.
What did I do yesterday?
He looked at his surroundings blankly, it was his residence...
Wait, how did I get back?
I can’t remember it at all!
"Hey, are you still there?"
There was no response on the phone for a long time, so Cai Afen asked in confusion.
"Yes, yes!"
Li Qing said quickly.
Putting aside what happened last night, he quickly began to plan his next trip.
Now, the sales share of "Heavy Rain Pear Blossom" has been settled, and more than 600,000 yuan has been received. What needs to be done in the near future is probably the decoration of the studio and the construction of the recording studio. As for the release of the record, it may be possible in the short term.
No.
There is nothing else important.
By the way, I still have to keep what I promised my father. Take some time to review your homework to prepare for the college entrance examination this summer.
But Li Qing didn't pay too much attention to this matter.
Although he graduated from a third-rate university in his previous life, for him, university life was relatively boring.
Because he has become an online writer since the beginning of college, and he has been immersed in the state of constantly coding and writing novels sooner or later.
When others are picking up girls, he is coding.
While others are playing games, he is coding.
When other people were having sex with women in the dormitory, he was still coding.
The only thing that is the same as others is that others are making up the exam and he is also making up the exam.
In short, in order not to default on updates every day, and to earn college living expenses, he writes thousands of words almost every day, and has no time to play games or make girlfriends.
And that certificate was of little use to Li Qing who wanted to start his own business.
After thinking about this, Li Qing said: "I have time at any time."
When Cai Afen heard this, she felt quite resentful in her heart. I have been contacting you since the third day of the third year of junior high school, but you have been delaying it until the ninth day of the junior high school. This is called having time at any time...
She thought about it carefully and then asked: "We may need to delay you for three or four days here, because there are more than ten bookstores that have reservations for the book signing. After careful screening, we decided to select the three largest bookstores...
"
"Wait! Wait!"
As Li Qing listened, he felt something was wrong. More than ten people?
There are actually more than ten bookstores in Hong Kong that have made reservations for my book signing?
What if I am Jin Yong?
Li Qing finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Cai, how are the sales of "Looking for Qin"?"
Cai Afen smiled heartily.
Not bad. I finally look like a writer, and I know how to care about my sales. I thought you were a delinquent!
She said happily: ""Looking for Qin" is currently a hit in major bookstores. The specific sales volume is not yet known, but it has definitely reached the ranks of first-line writers. Judging from the data on the Butterfly rental list,
"Xun Qin Ji" single-week rental data currently ranks first in the martial arts decimal rankings."
First?
Li Qing's eyes straightened instantly.
The butterfly rental list is released once a week, while the snail sales list is released once a month.
Although the release cycle of the sales list is a bit late, from the data on the rental list, we can still see a hint of sales volume. The ratio of the rental list to the sales list is about 50:1...
In other words, if fifty people rent a novel, probably one person will buy it.
But this is not fixed. Some high-quality novels by famous writers, such as those published by the three great novel writers of Hong Kong literature, Cha Liangyong, Xiong Yaohua, Chen Wentong, etc., have rental and purchase rates of almost 30:1 or even higher.
high!
However, most of these masters are already old. Although their works have been published and filmed and adapted frequently, new books are rarely released.
Among Hong Kong writers who are now younger, between the ages of 20 and 40, martial arts writer Zhu Hong, romance writer Xia Anqi, and supernatural writer Cai Gu are the mainstays.
These three are all well-known new-power writers, each with top sales, and are known as the successors of the three literary masters.
But even for these three people, when the new work was released, there were not more than a dozen bookstores invited to hold a book signing, right?
Since the sales of "Xun Qin Ji" are good, then its various derivative copyrights, animation, games, film and television, etc., are probably increasing in value rapidly, right?
Li Qing perked up.
After quickly finalizing the time for the autograph session with Cai Afen, Li Qing hung up the phone.
The book signing will be held a few days after the Lantern Festival.
By then, Hong Kong, which has been slightly deserted due to the holidays, will have its passenger traffic back to its peak, and holding book signings at that time will also maximize the value of "Looking for Qin".
Li Qing thought about the copyright of "Xun Qin Ji" and gradually came up with a plan in his mind.
As soon as he got out of bed, he felt a splitting headache in his head. The aftereffects of last night's drinking were now prominent. There seemed to be a smell of alcohol in his stomach, and he began to feel overwhelmed by his movements.
Li Qing resisted the nausea and quickly poured a cup of tea to wash his stomach.
After washing up, he took matters into his own hands. After eating a simple breakfast in the quiet living room, his condition returned to normal.
Li Qing came to the bedroom and sent all the manuscripts for the next ten episodes of "Looking for Qin" to the Cultural Publishing House.
Afterwards, Li Qing walked out of the apartment and went to the bank to check the accounts.
The total pre-tax share of the record share is 650,000 yuan. After deducting about 70,000 yuan in taxes, the total amount received in Li Qing's account is 580,000 yuan. Adding Li Qing's current savings, the total is nearly 600,000 yuan.
However, there is still an amount of 43,000 yuan in the account.
According to a bank check, Li Qing learned that this was transferred from Jiang Zhongnan's account and should be profit dividends for the 40% shareholders of the bar.
Altogether, there is a total deposit of 650,000 yuan in Li Qing's account.
According to estimates, 650,000 yuan will never be enough to build a top-notch recording studio...
In fact, if you calculate it carefully, a recording studio with various equipment and decorations can cost about 100,000 yuan to build an ultra-small one. But don’t even think about how good the results will be. The possibility of the singer’s voice being distorted is probably
At fifty-five.
Li Qing had specifically inquired about CCTV's recording studio, and one microphone cost four to five hundred thousand... not to mention monitors, headphones, mixers, soundproofing equipment, etc. For such a top-notch recording studio, Li Qing could not afford it.
Don't even think about it.
There are hundreds of recording studios in the entire capital, but only a handful of them can reach professional standards.
Hu Die Music Room is relatively top-notch.
And 650,000 is barely enough to build a professional recording studio like Hu Die Studio.
When you have money later, you can just upgrade!
Moreover, now that the electronics industry is undergoing a wave of development, the metabolic rate of electronic accessories is almost the highest among all industries.
It’s not worth spending millions to buy equipment now!
While Li Qing tried to comfort himself with such reasons, he called Ma Xuyi to inquire about recording equipment and seek purchase advice. (To be continued.)
