Chapter 129: Follow the Trend
Since there is no piracy in this time and space, and the economy is relatively developed, the entertainment industry is actually quite profitable. At least in terms of sales, physical books are basically more than one to two times as many as on the planet.
You know, there aren't so many physical books on the planet that sell more than one million, and in this time and space, selling more than one million can only step into the entry line of popular authors, and there are millions of copies that sell well!
The sales of 1.5 million copies of "Dragon Family" can only be regarded as outstanding among all the physical books of this year, but it is definitely not unique.
But the most important thing is that "Dragon 1: Dawn of Fire", how long has it been on sale?
In such a short period of time, the total sales exceeded 1.5 million copies, which can be said to be an absolute hit!
And the shipping volume of the publishing house has actually exceeded two million copies, and bookstores, supermarkets and Dingdang.com are not stupid, they can all see that this book is selling for a long time, how can you do it without stocking up?
The most interesting thing is that the author of this book does not stop at all.
Every time he stirs up trouble in the entertainment industry, the sales of "Dragon Family" will rise with a wave!
As soon as Lu Xiaosu's popularity rose, the sales of "Dragon Family" followed suit!
The data team of Banyan Publishing House is too lazy to look at the data chart, there is no reference value at all, and no one can estimate the final potential of this book now, because Lu Xiaosu is the biggest variable.
If his popularity continues to rise, it will have its own promotion effect. And the reputation of "Dragon Family" has always been very good, and many readers spontaneously Amway to the people around them after reading it, which is another virtuous circle.
And the main reason why sales soared from 1 million copies to 1.5 million copies in a short period of time is ...... Lu Xiaosu has opened a sect!
Yes, Banyan Press really started to push it all out this time.
……
……
Li Fengshan, as the leader of Banyan Publishing House, has always taken into account the overall situation and sought stability in everything.
As a man, he knows that if he takes too big a step, it is easy to pull the egg.
But with the sales of "Dragon Family" exceeding one million copies, his hidden gambler mentality has been completely excavated!
The cover introduction of "Dragon Family" is clearly written, and the classification of this book is called "Youth Fantasy Literature".
A genre that has never been produced!
But these words are so appropriate to the content of "Dragon Family". The mainstream group of book readers is adolescent young people, and this fictional world is, of course, fantasy fiction.
In the world of romance novels, Banyan Publishing House has long been a dominant family, and now Lu Xiaosu's "Dragon Clan" has broken out again, if he Li Fengshan is still timid, then he still hires a fart female secretary? A man who can't get tough, does he need a competent female secretary?
No nonsense, push!
So recently, we can see that many newspapers and websites are vigorously touting "Dragon Family", and many professional reviewers have also written many articles.
"A new genre was born, and youth fantasy literature began to become popular on campus......"
"Dragon Family" created a genre of youth fantasy literature, and short-term sales have exceeded the 1.5 million mark......"
"The musical genius Lu Xiaosu turned to the world of fiction, and his work "Dragon Family" created a new era of fantasy novels......"
After all, money is given, and this kind of commercial touting is all blown to the sky.
So, in addition to the "musical genius", a big hat of "the originator of youth fantasy novels" was directly buckled on Lu Xiaosu's head.
And as this "youth fantasy wind" swept across the campus, a large number of followers surged up.
Some little-known writers have moved closer to "Dragon Family", such as "Dragon Slayer" and "Elf Clan" and other titles emerge in an endless stream.
During this time, the genre was just flourishing, and the success of "Dragon Family" proved to be very marketable, who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?
So as long as it is a youth fantasy novel, the standard set by the publishing house is not high, and as long as the content is not too bad, it will try to publish it.
"Dragon 1: Dawn of Fire" only has so many words, and people who really read books quickly can read it in one or two breaths, and "Dragon 2" doesn't know that it was only published in the Year of the Monkey, and all readers are still unsatisfied.
What to do at this time?
Buy some books of the same genre and check them out!
Even in the bookshelf category of many bookstores, a special section of "Youth Fantasy Novels" has been opened, and there are more and more books on it, but the most conspicuous position is always the best-selling "Dragon Family".
There is no shortage of writing geniuses in this time and space, but how can the following style be compared with the originator of the genre?
The book that was written in just two months was actually a bit rushed.
In this case, the word-of-mouth of "Dragon Family" exploded again, and sales continued to rise.
Fortunately, because everyone feels very fresh about the books of this genre, there is no book that is too exaggerated, and the sales are all in 10,000 units, which is a small profit for those writers who hit the street.
Among them, a book called "Elf King" sells the best, and it is estimated that if it takes the long term, it is only a matter of time before it sells more than one million copies, and there is still a big gap between "Dragon Family" and "Dragon Family" that directly breaks one million in the short term.
There are many elements in this book that refer to "Dragons", such as the male protagonist is a half-elf, a descendant of humans and elves, a bit like the dragon's blood in "Dragons".
Even following the trend has a chance to break one million copies, so what are you waiting for?
A large number of writers have begun to think about new books, and their eyes are all set on this genre.
Everyone is beginning to understand that it is always young people and students who have the strongest purchasing power, and that only by writing the books they love to read can they sell!
The golden age of romance novels has passed, and young adult fantasy novels have the momentum to catch up.
As the originator of "Dragon Family", its popularity and prestige are gradually increasing, it is conceivable that in the physical publishing industry, to put it nicely, Lu Xiaosu is also a person with the status of the rivers and lakes!
At least in this genre, he is the one with the highest status!
And Ning Ying also informed Lu Xiaosu on the phone that some game merchants have taken a fancy to "Dragon Family" and are ready to buy the copyright to release the game.
The offer price was basically around several million, and Lu Xiaosu directly refused.
This is only "Dragon 1", although unscrupulous writers are destined not to finish it, but with the publication of "Dragon 2" and "Dragon 3", the popularity of this book can be even higher!
At that time, the benefits can be maximized.
"Xiao Su, have you started writing the second part? Why don't you give me a spoiler? Ning Ying is also a die-hard book fan, but she quickly continued: "Hey, forget it, even if you know the plot of the second part, you will still look forward to the third part." ”
After a while, Ning Ying continued: "Xiao Su, come to my house for dinner tonight, I'll cook it myself and celebrate it for you, how about it?" ”
Lu Xiaosu could hear that Ning Ying's tone was expectant, but this expectation revealed a slight strangeness.
He pondered for a moment, then agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Ying looked at the clothes all over her house, as well as the close-fitting nightdress, purple underwear and underwear on the sofa, and felt that the workload was a bit heavy.
