Chapter 52: The Physical Version of the Novel
A few days ago, Luo Junning handed over the "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" that he had already written to Cui Hancheng, and asked this 'local snake' to help find a publishing house to publish it, and after a few days, it was finally completed, so the president's office, which was supposed to be themed on Yan Sù, became a place for Luo Junning and Cui Hancheng to drink Coke and read novels at the same time.
"Tut-tut, it's so well written, if it goes on like this, our Prince's Cafe will definitely catch fire, and then ...... Hey. Cui Hancheng suspected that saliva was flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he soon showed a lewd expression, put Luo Junning's shoulder and asked in a whisper, "Sue me, which of those boys in our store is a woman dressed as a man?" It's just a big deal, you dare to hide your identity, and you really don't take me as a boss in your eyes!"
Luo Junning patted the hand on his shoulder, and said angrily: "This is a novel, do you really think that I wrote it according to reality, and I didn't take medicine when I got up today, right?"
"Don't worry, aren't you at ease when I do things?" Cui Hancheng patted his chest and said proudly, "Don't worry, the publishing house has already sent out the cost of 30,000 copies, and I believe it will sell well." ”
"30,000 copies? Didn't you say that you would print 5,000 copies first to try the market?" Luo Junning was shocked, he was really a little unconfident in this aspect of the novel, not to mention that this novel was completely 'seen' by him from Yin Enhui, at most it was a retelling of other people's stories, not his own ideas.
"This is an estimate made by the publishing house, don't worry, we all have confidence in you, and with your current popularity, 30,000 copies are estimated to be not enough to sell. Cui Hancheng is much more confident than Luo Junning.
30,000 copies are not enough to sell?
Popular now?
Luo Junning shook his head helplessly, he didn't dwell on it anymore, anyway, he didn't understand the novel, as long as Cui Hancheng found someone who knew how to help, anyway, he only needed the popularity of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", as for profits, as long as they were passable.
To Luo Junning's surprise, after a series of publicity, 30,000 copies of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" were sold out within a month, and the more time passes, the better the sales of this novel, listening to Cui Hancheng said, the publishing house responsible for the distribution of the novel has printed 50,000 copies and is preparing to put it into the market, and Luo Junning also has an aura of a genius writer on his head, not a writer behind the scenes of a variety show on the TV station, but a novel writer, and at the same time it has also set off a burst of coffee culture in the lives of young Koreans.
The theme of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" is, of course, the love of young people, and coffee is at most one of the backgrounds, but even so, the turnover of the Prince Cafe, located in an inconspicuous corner of Seoul, has risen rapidly, and the special snacks such as waffles that are the same as those in the book have also been loved by quite a few people, and the sketch wall with many Luo Junning's sketches has also become a 'scenic spot', including Yoon Eun-hye, Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Jong Kook, The sketches and autographs of artists such as Jiang Hudong are also often concerned, and in just one month, the turnover of the Prince Cafe has increased sixfold, which makes Cui Hancheng say that he should write this novel earlier, so that he doesn't have to work hard to open an unlimited company.
"Then you can continue to go back to the café to be the boss?" Luo Junning smiled.
Cui Hancheng's face was straight: "Then how can it be done, how can I leave my relatives behind?"
Luo Junning rolled his eyes and ignored this shameless guy, "Brother Han Yu, the café will leave to you, we still have to go to class, so let's go first." ”
"Okay, I'll take good care of the café. "Lin Hanyu, as the manager of the Prince Cafe, is also a star in the neighborhood at this time, who makes the "store manager" described as the protagonist in "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store", which is still so attractive.
Leaving the café, Luo Junning asked: "Han Cheng, if you have time, go and talk to Director Choi Min-hyuk, "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" is the next TV series I am preparing, and its current sales are not much worse than the influence of "Palace", I will rewrite it into a script during this time, I believe it should be able to complete the agreement with MBC." ”
"Okay, I'll talk to my uncle in a moment. Cui Hancheng nodded, hesitated and asked, "Dear, don't go through the company's process with this script, sign a contract with MBC in your personal name, I can't take advantage of you, right?"
Luo Junning smiled, "If you treat me as a brother, don't say such things." The company's better and better is the current goal, "Infinite Challenge" potential is good, but now only "Infinite Challenge" is the company's biggest weakness, as the company's major shareholder, of course, I have to contribute to the company's development, as long as the company can develop, this money is nothing, and don't you also help me find a publishing house? ”
"Okay then, then I'm welcome, hehe!" Cui Hancheng laughed, and said secretly in his heart: I hope we can go on like this forever, I care more about you than the so-called interests...... Friend.
"By the way, I want to leave the heroine of this TV series to Enhui Nuna, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"It's not a big problem, and it's not the first time. Cui Hancheng blinked and asked in a low voice, "Dear, tell me the truth, you are so good to Yoon Eun Hye XI, do you have a leg with Xiao Douding on your back?"
"Get out!"
......
The sales of 110,000 in two months of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" surprised everyone who cares, and MBC's Choi Min Hyuk was very happy, because according to the situation of "Palace", this TV series is likely to be another national TV series, where can he not be happy?
But there is also one thing that makes him a little depressed, that is, Luo Junning's designation of the heroine of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", although this kind of thing has happened once, but as the real director of MBC, Cui Minhyuk is still a little uncomfortable in his heart, but for the benefit that Luo Junning can bring him, he still temporarily suppressed this dissatisfaction in his heart, put the plan of forming a crew on the agenda, and when Luo Junning writes the script of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", he will start to form and publicize it, and strive to get the best results.
According to the current development, the novel performance of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" is still growing, so there is no hurry, it is the best time for MBC to launch a TV series after the potential of the novel version is fully released, and it is now the end of October, and it is estimated that it will not be officially launched until the beginning of next year.
