Chapter 301
In a meeting room.
There were eleven people sitting at a round table.
These eleven people are the eleven judges of the Luda Literary Award, which is the best novel award in the country.
The Ruda Literary Award is the most authoritative on the entire blue planet.
The Lu Da Literature Award is different from the Lu Xun Literature Award on the Blue Planet. It is a long award process.
The Lu Xun Literature Prize is just a medium-level award.
Among the remaining eleven people.
Among them, eight are referees.
These two people are both vice presidents.
There is one Speaker.
President Ren Sha spoke first, "The Luda Literature Conference is held every four years and will be held soon."
"The main reason I gathered you here today is to confirm this year's nominations for long-form films."
"If you have any recommendations for people or books, please let us know and we will decide based on your opinions."
The judges in the audience also opened their notebooks.
"I think Ironborn will be nominated because it sold so well and was so influential."
“The Good Stuff is also a very ironic novel.”
"'Rainbow at Dawn' should be nominated because it set a box office record two years ago."
The judges were talking a lot.
One of the referees spoke up.
"Look, the movie 'Fortress Besieged' is very popular right now. Do you think it will be nominated?"
After the words were spoken, the scene suddenly became silent.
President Ren Sha smiled and said, "I have a purpose for calling you all here today. I am also very curious about what you think of the recently popular "Fortress Besieged"?"
Hearing this, the judges present looked at each other.
"Don't you have something to say?" Ren Sha asked curiously.
Several referees were speechless.
"Director Ren, it's not that we don't want to, but we haven't read the book Fortress Besieged."
"Well, I was just about to buy it at a bookstore, but... I didn't get anything."
"I didn't buy one at first, and now I'm going to buy one again, but I don't even have one."
This is also something that can't be helped.
The popularity of "The Fortress Besieged" is really high.
Even if they are referees, they cannot say that they are here to steal.
Ren Sha showed a strange look on her face and said, "Then why don't you contact our magazine?"
After all, these two are the judges of the Ruda Award.
They had no choice but to agree to the publisher's request.
However, the other referees looked helpless.
"I tried, but I couldn't get through at all!"
"Yes, more than a dozen people have called, and all the lines are busy."
"During this period, Sanjiang Publishing House has had a lot of things going on. I heard that the president even went to the factory in person."
When Ren Sha heard this, cold sweat instantly broke out on her forehead.
The president of a magazine company actually wants to come to the factory to print books?
What a joke!
But this also reflects from the side how popular "The Fortress Besieged" is now.
Another five days passed.
Sanjiang Literature and Art Printing Factory.
"President, Xinlian Bookstore has requested shipment again!"
"The people from Dakong Bookstore have also come, saying that they want to order 3000 more copies of Fortress Besieged!"
"Liancheng Bookstore?"
"Not only in BJ, but also many publishers in other provinces called to urge us to do so."
"It seems that the stock of "Fortress Besieged" has been sold out, except for a few more remote areas!"
"According to the sales department's statistics, the sales of Fortress Besieged reached 91 percent, which shows that Fortress Besieged is really popular!"
Yin Pingqing touched the two panda eyes on his eyes.
His face was full of fatigue, but his eyes were unusually bright. 91%...
That means he sold 450,000 books.
If we count the 60,000 copies...
This means that in just two weeks, the initial sales of "The Fortress Besieged" have exceeded 51 copies!
You know, over the years, the best-selling movie "Rainbow at Dawn" only sold 150,000 copies in the first month!
In three days, he brought most of the employees.
Not to mention, everyone in the factory was working day and night.
Finally, it wasn’t a wasted effort!
"Shipment!" a voice suddenly sounded.
Yin Pingqing roared.
The whole factory became busy again.
……
It's been less than a month.
"The Fortress Besieged" became popular all over the country and spread very quickly.
Whether it's on the street, in school, or in the company.
From time to time, I could hear discussions about the story of "The Fortress Besieged".
After completing another round of 500,000 additional copies, "The Fortress Besieged" finally showed signs of improvement.
All the bookstores in the country are no longer out of stock.
But even so, Yin Pingqing ordered the factory to produce another 10 copies.
just in case.
This time, Sanjiang Literature and Art Publishing House can be said to have reaped a great harvest.
The sales of "The Fortress Besieged" reached 1.06 million copies.
Although sales have declined now, they are still very good.
The busiest time is over.
Yin Pingqing, on the other hand, found Li Qingxian in person.
"Haha, Mr. He, I haven't seen you for so long, and you're still here making tea."
"Hey, President Yin, where are you coming from? You didn't even say hello to me so I could come down to greet you."
"Tsk, don't be so polite, Professor He!"
When Yin Pingqing saw Li Qingxian now, he felt like he had met his closest friend.
Her smile caused wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
"Humph! I came here for only two purposes."
"First of all, thank you for your trust in Sanjiang Literature and Art."
"Secondly, I'm here to pay you for your article."
As Yin Pingqing spoke, he handed over a check.
"This is 300 million, you can get it anytime."
"Don't worry, our publishing house will reimburse you for all the taxes."
Li Qingxian held the check and asked in confusion, "Wasn't it due in November? Besides, I didn't buy the book. 300 million?"
Yin Pingqing smiled slightly, "This is a small token of our appreciation. If Fortress Besieged wants more in the future, we will definitely give you the money."
This time, Sanjiang Literature and Art Publishing House really invested a lot of money.
Not only did he bear all of Li Qingxian's taxes and levies.
What’s more, 300 million was paid in advance!
This is what Li Qingxian was assigned.
Even if all 106 million copies were bought, it would only be more than 260 million yuan.
After deducting taxes and other expenses, the maximum is two million.
As a result, Sanjiang Publishing House paid more than one million!
This is really giving enough face.
This is clearly praising Li Qingxian as if he were praising his own biological father!
……
He came to his senses only after Yin Pingqing left.
Liu Yifei seemed very excited.
"It looks like I have to change your name to Mr. He."
A novel can sell 100 million copies.
This is not easy.
