Moonlight Variations

Lao Miao probably didn’t expect Chuli to agree so quickly. Not only did he agree to the three hundred and fifty thousand first seals of Jiuchuan, but also agreed with Suo Heng. After being stunned, he laughed and put on q. Suo Heng’s contact information was sent to Chuli: “I’ll give it to you, why do you call it so loud, and I’m afraid I will regret it... This author will take it if you want it. What’s so rare? Can’t sell, it’s getting worse every year after all these years."

"...Lao Miao, it’s not a good idea to give Suo Heng to Chu Li, originally from Cong Jiang and Cheng. After more serialization, Hippo’s short articles were often rejected, and then two or three issues were not published. Henghe Niannian, you don't have too many other authors to submit your manuscripts--" Xiaoniao inserted a sentence appropriately, but he was stared back by the old Miao when he didn't finish the sentence.

The old Miao chair turned back to his compartment: "I don't want to bring these things that can't be sold. Recently, I am discussing other projects with the society... Man, you can't give up on the one to go to the dark, what era Now, who would buy a magazine to read the first issue of the novel!"

While talking, he glanced at Chuli.

Chu Li said with a blank expression: "If you don't listen or listen, Wang Ba reciting the scriptures."

Suo Heng greeted Suo Heng on q while thinking about it-unexpectedly a gentle girl, she didn't say anything after she was notified that she was replaced by the editor, but she closed it after sending a meaningful "ah". I closed my mouth... I was suddenly replaced by the editor when I was walking downhill. Of course I felt that I was abandoned, right?

Chuli can only try to reduce this discomfort to Suo Heng, and the only way she can think of is to start discussing her new article with Suo Heng as soon as possible, so that she can forget about the things she has been abandoned from time to time as soon as possible, and enter the adaptation. In the rhythm... But what Chuli didn't expect was that she just mentioned the new serialization, Suo Heng reacted quickly——

[Suo Heng: Ah, the last time Lao Miao asked me to write a little cute essay about a fairy going down the earth, I wrote the beginning. 】

Then I sent the manuscript. There was only one beginning. Chuli glanced at it-I could see that she was trying hard to sprout up, but... Suo Heng was the author who wrote ancient romances back then, and readers praised him. She also praised the exquisiteness of her writing and the atmosphere, and liked her story about the golden horse, the iron horse and the heroine...

Why do such authors write Xiaomeng's articles?

Chuli suppressed the manuscript, and tactfully expressed his thoughts to Suo Heng. Who knows that Suo Heng responded quickly and asked——

[Suo Heng: What are the more popular themes now? What do readers like to watch? Star Mecha? antiquity? Past and present? Ah, it's still the protagonist that one of the two sides is a small animal selling cute text, I can try both...]

[The navy invited by the monkeys:...Don't worry about what is popular now, do you have any topics you want to write about? 】

[Suo Heng: There are some, 23333, but Lao Miao said that the subject matter I want to write will definitely not be popular, so I won't let me write...because ancient romances are rarely seen now. 】

[Suo Heng: Lao Miao said, for an author like me who is too quiet to get up, it’s better to write a guaranteed theme with a hot spot-newcomers can write a red theme, plus I am an old author, maybe it will be better. Good to help me return to everyone's sight...I think it makes sense. 】

[The navy invited by the monkey:...]

[The navy invited by the monkey: Now he is not your responsibility. If you are unwilling to accept this method, you don't have to force yourself. 】

[The navy invited by the monkey: Think about why the Yuanyue Club found you in the first place—we are looking for you because we want to see that only you have it, instead of asking you to write an article about "Heng Ye can" things...]

[The navy invited by the monkey: I don’t know what I said, can you understand it? 】

Suo Heng was silent for a while.

——Probably too shocked at the completely different requirements for submissions from Chuli and Lao Miao.

After being silent for a long time, she told Chuli that she would do a few topics that she wanted to write, sorted them out and sent them to Chuli, and Chuli readily agreed and agreed with her an accurate time to hand in the selection. ...

This agreement led to the last few words Suo Heng said to Chuli on this day like this-

[Suo Heng: Ah, when all the editors tell me about the outline or topic selection, they always say: It's okay, don't worry, you can take your time, and you can hand in at any time. 】

[Suo Heng: Only you agreed with me in the tone of "no delay in manuscript delivery". 】

[Suo Heng: 23333333333 It seems that there has not been an editor in the back of my **** for many years to remind the manuscript. I, I have reached the point where I sometimes feel that the other party is showing off when I watch others complain about being reminded. 】

[Suo Heng: It's amazing. 】

[Suo Heng: I feel that I am needed. 】

[Suo Heng: Thank you! 】

First gift: "..."

This girl.

I'm really about to be bullied into the dust by these people who only know "can this author sell".

After sending Suo Heng away, Chu Li raised his head and looked at Yu Yao. Only then did he find that the veteran Yu Yao had changed from sitting in his place and concentrating on his own affairs, and he rarely raised his head. Today, he was a little distracted— —And awkwardly collided with Chuli's sight in the air.

Yu Yao smiled at Chuli, it was a bit of a guilty meaning, as if to say: My child is pleased to you.

...

After leaving Suo Heng, there was another turmoil in the afternoon.

The marketing department sent a message saying that the old China bookstore that was originally contacted gave a message that at the same time that the book "The Book of Luohe" was released in late December, there was an international director and writer Herman. His new work, "Bie Zhi Jing Que (*Chinese translation name is about to be released, and the bookstore’s best stacking position is given to this level of big coffee. If there is a collision, "The Book of Luohe" will definitely not get the bookstore’s best stacking position...

When Chuli saw the news, she felt her stomach tumbling. If it was a good thing, it would change when it changed, and halfway through Hermann's "Don't be Frightened Magpie"...

It's as if the whole world knew that she was betting with Lao Miao, and then they ran out to make her a lot! ! ! !

Not to mention that Jiuchuan’s own coffee is definitely not as good as this international director Jane writer. Jiuhua Bookstore is a large bookstore in the country and the largest partner of Yuanyue News Agency. Not to mention the marketing department. Even Teacher Xia is offended. Sorry-until now, it seems that there is only a concession, and the "Shenshu of Luohe" can be printed in advance and listed in advance!

At this time, let alone the first print of 350,000, today is the first day that the dealer responds to the order and has to prepare for printing in a hurry. It will not be delayed for a few days afterwards. In addition, the stacking demand of Jihua Bookstore, the first The print volume is overwhelming, and I will order a 200,000 yuan...

The joint brother of the marketing department, just like Chuli, came in for an interview at the beginning of the year and just turned up. At this moment, I also asked pitifully on q——

[Little brother of the marketing department: Sister, what should I do? T_t seems to either give up the best stacking position, or print a batch in advance to catch up with the best stacking position at the beginning of next month? If you print a batch in advance, you can print up to forty-five thousand from the current subscription volume, plus the stacking numbers required by the old Chinese society, together, let's get hundreds of thousands! The cost is estimated to be quite high...]

[Little brother of the marketing department: For such a big thing, our boss asked us to figure it out. If the tone is messed up, we can get out. 】

[The navy invited by the monkey:...]

The stacking position generally requires about two hundred books to do.

Although the Jiuhua Bookstore is a big business, there are more than 10,000 Jiuhua Bookstores across the country, but generally stacks are only used in the vicinity of the school and the super-large city center bookstores, so the so-called stacking spaces, in the end, there are only a few hundred in the country——

Just calculate it as the largest of the four hundred companies, and just stack it up to 80,000 copies.

But it was only 80,000 copies, plus the dealers who purchased about 100,000 a few days ago. This number will be deducted by the Yuanyue Society. The main problem is the 80,000 copies of the Jiuhua Bookstore, because after stacking The unsold parts have the right to return.

The stacking position is so good that the bookstore cannot give it in vain. It is exchanged for the points and the right of return... which means that, for example, the usual books are given to the Jiuhua Bookstore at a 50-50% off the original price of the book. If you go to Jiuhua Bookstore stacking space can only be given to them at a discount of 40 to 50%. In addition, the returnable ratio of ordinary dealers is only 30%. If the old China Bookstore provides stacking space, the returnable ratio may rise to 70%. It is for this kind of advertising space to bear a lot of risk of return!

To sum up, the society will buckle these 80,000 first prints to death, causing other distributors to purchase 50,000. Originally, they might directly print more than 70,000 and print 20,000 copies, but with the old China Bookstore. After that, it was directly changed to only 5,000 more copies, and the rest was returned when the Old China Bookstore sold out...

First gift: "..."

Chuli put his finger on the numbers for a long time, and then pulled out the list of common cooperative purchasers to look at them again. I counted the corners and sent the marketing guy to contact them to see if I could write a part of the order in advance. Eat it--

But no matter how she counts, the combined first print volume will be a lot worse than the "350,000" agreed with Lao Miao.

At this time, Lao Miao didn’t know where he heard the news. He was as happy as a little yellow dog, brushing Taobao with a doge face: “Hey, I’m not expecting it. I just made a bet on the front foot. After a few hours, the outcome was decided...there will be at most one week before and after the total to add sales to you, the first gift, what do you think should be done?"

Chuli ignored him, stood up and glanced at his computer screen. At this moment, Lao Miao was squeezing things into the shopping cart——

This action reminds me a bit.

Chuli high-five: "Yes! We still have e-book sellers not counting the stock!"

"Don't forget that," Lao Miao laughed. When Kou Wei's book went on the market last month, the Xindun News Agency did not sell more than 10,000 copies online. I bought a lot of them at the bookstore. Who would have to wait for your e-commerce to deliver the goods? The express will slowly send you over the mountains and mountains. When you get the book, people will buy it first at the Jihua Bookstore. It's overwhelmingly spoiled! ! "

Kou Wei is basically an author at the same level as Hikawa.

Even because there is also an ace editor from the Xindun Society, the author's fame and works have matured and formed earlier than Hikawa.

First gift: "..."

Chuli feels a headache--

It is true that in the Internet age, e-commerce shopping is very convenient... But the advantage that you can touch, see and enjoy immediately after paying for something is not catching up with the e-commerce that relies on express delivery and manual delivery. It is also a physical store up to now. The only reason to survive to this day.

In the midst of the old Miao gloating, Chuli felt that she was silent for a while.

noon.

...

Until the evening when I get home.

Pushing open the yard door, I saw a guy in pajamas squatting in front of a brazier in the yard, holding his knees and pouting his hips, shaking some paper products into the brazier-the flames swallowed his hand and burned through. Only then did he let go and threw the paper products in...

First gift: "..."

Walking over, putting the bag on the man's back, Chuli asked: "What are you doing? BBQ?"

The man didn't look up, allowing her to use herself as a bag rack or table or something: "Burn the scratch paper."

Chu Li was taken aback, and found that the man in his hand was indeed the paper she had seen on his desk before, and there were scribbled notes from the man, and asked, "Why do you burn the scratch paper?"

Is it over if you lose it?

"The draft paper is full of fragmentary outlines and unexpected plots. Such an important thing is thrown directly into the trash can. Some tramp picked it up and plagiarized it. Using his elementary school diploma, he wrote a very bad story. The plot is excellent. What should I do if the book became so popular from then on?" Shirakawa grabbed a stack of draft paper again, "So, burn it.

Chu Li: "…………………………"

Chu Li: "The brain hole is too big."

Picking up the bag from the man's back, Chuli was about to turn around and go back to the house. At this time, she saw the man picking up a copy of something that was definitely not scratch paper from the waste paper pile-she had a meal at her feet and turned around: the result It was discovered that it was the second half of a collection of paintings of Empress Cocoon she saw at the door of Zhouchuan's house a few months ago.

Chuli rushed back in two steps and took the painting collection from the man's hand: "Why did you burn this good collection of paintings--"

"You care about me, aren't your fans turning black!"

"Even if the fan turns black, this collection of paintings is also a signed limited edition that someone on the Internet is asking for thousands of dollars. I think my friends and I stayed up in the middle of the night, gearing up and waiting for pre-sales, and grabbed it from a group of wolves, tigers and leopards. The first fifty signatures of this limited edition!!! You know that thousands of copies of this collection were sold that night—"

Chu Li's voice suddenly disappeared.

The man crouching in front of the brazier with his knees stunned, moved his **** and turned around: "What's the matter?"

Shirakawa didn’t even understand what had happened. The man who had stood in front of him and taught him suddenly threw the collection of paintings, squatted down and gave him a huge hug.

The man was caught off guard from falling into his soft embrace.

The tall nose slipped over the delicate skin of her neck.

Hikawa: "..."

It was let go in the next second.

Chuli threw down the sentence "being the deputy editor-in-chief invites you to eat, lobster, abalone, and dragon king meat", and turned around to change the dying look before, humming a song, flapping wings and rushing back into the house.

The author has something to say: here comes here, the old rules, five hundred comments, two more.

ps: In 13 years, original books did not do pre-sales on the Internet. It was a popular sales form in fandom, above.
