Chapter 146

He thought for a while and said, "Wang Ping'an, make your own book."

"Oh well."

"I heard you wrote a good essay?"

"Uncle Lei, I have coded so many words, and I don't just code casually. When I code, I'm thinking about my writing style. If I don't write well, I'll see the ghost. It's hard to say anything else. In junior high school, I really bully people."

"Hahaha," Lei Ping couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Wang Er is still very regular in school. In addition to the "nap vacation", he also participated in any activities in the class. Because the environment is different from Boyuan Primary School, he also played basketball with several classmates in physical education classes.

Except for the one-week composition, the whole school is popular, the rest is almost a very disciplined and honest student, low-key and friendly, and occasionally jokes, which is quite a bit of a classmate.

There is only one student who is the exception. No matter how she thinks Wang Er, why is she disliked...

At the beginning of the long holiday, Wang Er stayed at home to write crazy and did not go out on the Mid-Autumn Festival. And by chance, we met together on two Sundays, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and the whole holiday was held for eight days. Some units were ruthless and had nine days of release.

The time was long enough that he not only allowed him to code out the selected collection of the ugly duckling fairy tales, but also coded the second Wizard of Oz.

I saw that there is still one and a half days of holidays, so I bought three David series by picture book master David Shannon, "David, No," "David gets into trouble" and "David go to school".

David's works also have a strong oil painting style. It was a bit difficult for Wang Er to copy "The Kingdom of the Beasts". After all, it was watercolor painting style. Now it is at the level of master's oil painting, so it is easy to copy David's works.

Moreover, Wang Er's "David" looks very handsome, not as ugly as the original work, and the other scenes are also a bit exquisite, not as rough as the original painting.

Will it be backfire? This is unlikely. Even Wang Er doesn’t care. Do you regard picture books as your main business?

If it succeeds, it is better, with his current painting ability, how fast will it be? Not only is it fast, but it is guaranteed that each painting is better than the original author's painting. It really becomes a bad money.

He handed these over to William Li, and Wang Er went to school again, but at noon that day, Wang Jimin called.

As August begins, "The King of Fairy Tales" has made great changes.

Wang Er has always seen the dispute between the two magazines, but in fact, "Fairy Tale World" did something wrong from the beginning.

If the fairy tale king wins over writers, then the competition will win over, or if the amount is increased without the price, then the price will be increased. You should know that the net profit of the fairy tale world in the year was almost over 100 million. If you compare with the economy, would you be afraid of the fairy tale king?

A short period of time will cause the profits of the fairy tale world to drop rapidly, but what if it takes a long time?

If you want to survive under the suppression of the fairy tale world and cannot win over famous writers, you can only rely on your own works. Each issue must reach more than 60,000 or 70,000 words before readers can buy them back and read them.

The key is whether you want to go to school? Besides, you also have to translate English.

Even if I keep up with the speed, I will not continue to write fairy tales in two or three years. At that time, the fairy tale king had to close the door.

I don’t know the world of fairy tales myself, but I always know it if I want to go to school.

The consideration of the fairy tale world is that I am wearing shoes, and it is not cost-effective to fight barefoot. If I want to defeat the fairy tale king at the lowest cost, I have to do something on myself.

First, he used a Western background to attack himself for admiring foreign countries, and then induced himself to think about the reason for "dismissing school", and then attacked his age.

As a result, it really turned out to be self-defeating and ruined its reputation.

The bragging king has finished serializing it, and Liu Qianxue happened to be discussing a new contract, requiring several books to be published on September 1 or 11. After soliciting Wang Er's opinions, the King of Fairy Tales made a "one-year plan".

The specific one is very simple, which is to further increase the amount without adding the price. On the basis of the original price, thirty or forty pages of content were added.

Because I added so much "quantity", I just ran the series of several books on Liulin Fengsheng before the 11th.

Readers are also crazy when they look at the number of pages and selling prices. Is the Internet money-burning model going to enter the magazine industry?

Actually, it's not a loss.

We have added so much content, so adding some advertising is not rejected. If it does not include advertising revenue, it will definitely lose a lot, but with advertising revenue, a magazine can still make a profit of 50 or 60 cents. This profit is still very pitiful, less than the original one. The key is that the circulation is large now, with more than 2 million copies per issue, and the income is still considerable.

This trick is really cruel. The fairy tale world is a bit too late to compete for the quality of the work. Without Wang Er's novels, both sides are almost the same. However, because the fairy tale world has become corrupt, the circulation has gradually dropped to one million copies, sales cannot keep up, and advertising revenue cannot keep up. If you spend money like the fairy tale king, adding advertising revenue, you may not make a penny.

As long as it lasts for a year, if not done properly, the fairy tale world will be completely destroyed.

In fact, there is no need to do it. As long as the sales volume of the fairy tale world is less than one million volumes, and no famous writers will contribute it, it is not like the fairy tale king. Many works of Wang Er will not die. In that case, the fairy tale world will decline rapidly.

But this issue of the fairy tale king encountered difficulties.

According to Liu Qianxue, don’t think about the new manuscripts. Quickly publish the rest of the Ugly Duckling Fairy Tale collection together, otherwise if you drag on it, the Chinese version will no longer be of use.

It’s not a false statement. The main reason is that the magazine agreed to the publisher to select the fine works in it and publish them in volumes. The remaining ones may have some good works, but the quality has dropped by half and is no longer attractive to readers.

In this issue, there are more than 300,000 words that have not been published.

And it was National Day, but the response was not big. Now you can see sales, and sales have almost dropped sharply by more than 400,000 copies.

There is also the Wizard of Oz. It is a series of works. If you match it, the effect may not be very good, so Wang Jimin asked Wang Er for help.

"Uncle Wang, when you founded the publication, you didn't expect that this would happen today. Time and situation are different. Those stories should be published quickly."

"We are going to finish them in six installments."

"It's not the sixth issue. I have written all the English version of the Ugly Duckling. I've given it to William Li to take it away. Liu Qianxue will soon negotiate with the publisher about the publication of the remaining two versions of the Ugly Duckling and the Wizard of Oz. It will be released on December 19, and the new book will be officially released on New Year's Day."

"So fast?"

"English is a translation, not a re-creation, why not be happy?"

However, the King of Fairy Tales had time, because he added nearly forty pages of content in a crazy way, and then squeezed it out. One issue could extract more than 80,000 words for Wang Er's novels, and six issues were about 500,000 words. Even if he had two new books, in December, the remaining content would not be much, and the impact would be little.

Wang Er thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about the sales volume of these four issues. Try to draw out the publication. By the end of this month, I will issue a lot of manuscripts to you."

Generally, magazines are layout faster, but they will not hand over the manuscript to the magazine until the end of the month. The pages at the beginning of next month will definitely not be too late to arrange them, and the four issues will be completed.

“How many manuscripts will there be?”

"It should be quite a lot. In addition to working hard to translate during this period, I used some self-study class time to write the fantasy series outline and the detailed outline. In fact, I wrote the first draft, and the code will not be slow at that time."

When Wang Jimin heard that Wang Er was asking for leave, he breathed a sigh of relief. His idea was wrong and asked kindly: "Will it affect your studies?"

"It will definitely affect a little bit. At worst, you can concentrate on sprinting in the final exam and your grades will be made up."

Wang Er brought the outlines to the principal's office to explain the situation.

Let’s talk about the malice of the fairy tale world towards oneself. Now magazines have little effect on his works, but if they don’t continue the fairy tale world, they will always find ways to disgust themselves.

If you want to continue the fairy tale world, it is not enough to rely on the fairy tale king to increase the amount, and it must be of quality assurance.

Why don’t you care about the current sales of the four periods? It also involves an annual order and a quarterly order.

These two orders account for nearly 60% of the current fairy tale world's circulation, otherwise the fairy tale world would be even worse by relying on retail circulation.

Whether it is annual or quarterly subscription, the magazine in December is the key.

It just so happened that Wang Er's old book was published. The Wizard of Oz does not count. It was a series of novels. Each subsequent issue was a new novel. At this time, the quantity and quality also followed, and the fairy tale world could be strangled to death.

So Wang Er planned to take twenty days off.
Chapter completed!
