Compared with the noisy atmosphere over there where I sleep with you every day, it is much more harmonious here. Soon after "Zo Zuo's Story" was put on the shelves, bookstores sold out one after another. The replenishment calls from suppliers in various places have already filled the books.
The landline phone number of the publishing department of China Literature Group was off the hook.
Qiu Xiaobai had to transfer several people from other departments to support him.
Inside the editor-in-chief's office.
Hu Shuo has just signed a printing agreement, and the calculation of the author's income from physical publishing is a little more troublesome than from electronic publishing.
The calculation formula under normal circumstances is: book pricing * number of printed copies * royalty rate.
The official price of Hu Shuo's "Zo Zuo's Story" is 29.8 yuan, with an initial printing of 300,000 copies and an additional 1 million copies.
The royalty rate is floating. In this time and space, the normal range is between 5 and 15. For new authors, it is usually 5, which is the lowest value. However, after all, Hu Shuo's works were released after they became popular on the Internet.
Physical books have a certain popularity base. Therefore, the royalty rate negotiated when signing the contract was 10, which was between the minimum and the maximum.
In this way, Hu Shuo's entity income so far can be roughly calculated.
29.8*1.3 million*10.
Theoretically, Hu Shuo can earn 3,874,000, but after deducting personal income tax and various necessary losses, he should get about 3 million.
In other words, Hu Shuo had already earned three million in half a day, so he was naturally in a good mood.
"Mr. Qiu, if nothing happens, I'll leave first."
After drinking the tea poured by Qiu Xiaobai in front of him, Hu Shuo was about to get up and leave.
"Why are you in a hurry? It's lunch time soon. How about having a meal together?" Qiu Xiaobai glanced at the alarm clock on his desk and said.
"Let's wait another day. There are still some unfinished tasks at hand." Hu Shuo lightly shrugged and said with a look of regret.
"Okay, then please do it"
Qiu Xiaobai curled her lips, and it could be heard from her tone that she seemed a little emotional.
Because, in Qiu Xiaobai's memory, this was the second time Hu Shuo refused her invitation to dinner. The first time Hu Shuo's reason was to pick up the children from school. If the reason that time was barely acceptable, this time
This reason is very perfunctory. Doesn’t work require eating?
"goodbye."
Hu Shuo didn't care what the other person's emotions were, he just waved and left without taking a single piece of cloud with him.
Looking at Hu Shuo's leaving figure, Qiu Xiaobai gritted his teeth angrily, silently complaining in his heart, why should a married old man be dragging him!
dong dong
Not long after Hu Shuo left the office, someone knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Qiu Xiaobai replied stiffly, his emotions still not recovered from Hu Shuo's "departure".
The door opens.
A woman with sleek short hair walked in.
"Hey, who is provoking our Mr. Qiu?"
This woman is Cao Ying, Qiu Xiaobai's right-hand assistant and her good friend.
"No one."
Qiu Xiaobai took a deep breath and handed the contract signed by Hu Shuo to Cao Ying: "The printing agreement has been signed. You can go to the printing factory in the afternoon and sign the contract with them."
"Um."
Cao Ying nodded, but there was doubt in her eyes: "I feel like your mood is not high. Could it be that Hu Zuozuo has offended you?"
"He is just an arrogant man! He is so self-righteous!!"
As soon as Hu Shuo was mentioned, Qiu Xiaobai couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and said angrily.
“It’s true”
Cao Ying smiled and sat on the sofa: "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
"He won't eat with me!" Qiu Xiaobai said.
"That's it?" Cao Ying looked confused.
"This is the second time." Qiu Xiaobai said.
"Well"
Cao Ying frowned, stared at Qiu Xiaobai's face for a long time, and said, "Xiaobai, you are not thinking about someone else's husband, are you?"
"Bah, bah, bah!"
"What are you talking about!"
"Will I fall in love with him?" Qiu Xiaobai snorted with disdain: "I just hate how self-righteous he is. What a great day it is today. I just want to have a meal to celebrate, but he doesn't do it at all.
Don’t give face!”
"I'm as beautiful as a flower. A man who wants to have dinner with me can walk around the stadium downstairs three times hand in hand."
"Yes, yes, you are right, so don't be angry."
Cao Ying smiled and said: "By the way, you really don't need to be angry with him. No, there are already people on the Internet helping you to fight against him!"
"ah?"
Qiu Xiaobai was slightly startled: "Where did he start sleeping with you every day?"
"That's right."
Cao Ying nodded, put on a serious face, and said: "The sales of "Zao Zuo's Story" were so hot that it shot to the top of the publication sales list half an hour after it was released. Half an hour ago, Huaxia Original
When the list was updated online, "Zao Zuo's Story" had sold 264,381 copies, which means that the first printing of 300,000 copies will be sold out soon!"
"The latest story collection "Yu Xiaoyu's Story" by the great writer Xiao Yu, who sleeps with you every day, only ranked thirteenth on the publication sales list, with sales of 18,760 copies, even a fraction of the sales of "Zo Zuo's Story"
No, they are naturally anxious."
Huaxia Original Network is not only a website where you can register original copyrights, but as an official website, it is also a big data center that publishes various authoritative lists.
The publication sales list is one of these lists, and it is also the most valuable list in the physical publishing industry.
"Did they find the navy?" Qiu Xiaobai asked.
"Probably." Cao Ying nodded and said: "There are only five physical books of children's literature on the shelves today. The other three are all new works by newcomers. There is no splash at all. The sales of Xiaoyu's new book were directly surpassed by "Zozuo's Story"
"Crush it. If Tiantian doesn't take some action, it would be abnormal."
At this time, Qiu Xiaobai had already opened Weibo and searched for the topic of Zuo Zuo's story. Sure enough, a large number of obviously rhythmic negative comments appeared in a short period of time.
Moreover, the division of labor in these negative reviews is clear. One part is to criticize and refute the content of "Zozuo's Story", and the other part is to directly point the finger at "Hu Zuozuo" himself.
Baby mom Xiaoqi: I bought a copy of "Zao Zuo's Story" in the bookstore. I originally planned to tell the stories in it to my baby, but after reading several stories in it, I really wanted to return the book. These stories
Not suitable for children at all!
I love eating saury: The story of "Cinderella" is simply ridiculous. It is obviously meant to teach children bad things. Are you really afraid that after reading this story, your daughter will stupidly wait for the prince to come?
Candy for the Little Princess: How many people buy books written by authors like Hu Zuozuo? Well, let me talk about his character. This guy is an ungrateful and shameless person. He has written "Snow White", "Cinderella", etc.
This story was originally published on the Tiantian Sleeping with You Story website. Then, after the website made him popular, he immediately changed his job. I would not want a book written by such a person even if it was given to me for free!!
After reading the Weibo posts with the most likes, Qiu Xiaobai has basically figured out the other party’s strategy. When hiring trolls on a large scale to smear a person or work, the troll team will come up with several sets of rhetoric, and
The ones that often get the most likes and are highlighted in the most conspicuous places are their main directions of attack.
