I'm an almighty star

Chapter 363 The whole family bet on the sales of "Journey to the West"

"10 billion?"

"You said Mo Bai called out a price of 10 billion?"

"My God, is this guy crazy?"

"Don't say it is 10 billion, I think 1 million yuan is too outrageous."

Hearing the prices quoted by the editor-in-chief of Qidian's editorial department to various film and television companies, the major film and television companies were dumbfounded.

"Yes."

"Look at the copyright of a novel we bought before. It's only 20."

"Even if it is Mr. Liangyong's work, the film and television copyright fee is only more than 1000 million."

"Journey to the West is really a masterpiece."

"Sorry, we don't buy it."

Boom.

Originally, dozens of film and television companies came to discuss cooperation, but when they heard Mo Bai's offer, they all passed away.

"Well, Mo Baiju, can the film and television copyright of Journey to the West be reduced?"

Seeing that a group of people from the film and television company didn't even pay back the price and just left, the editor Bohan turned around and sent another message to Mo Bai.

"Didn't I say it, there can only be more, not less."

"The problem is, when the major film and television companies heard the price of 10 billion, they all ran away."

"Hehe, this scares you away."

"What do you mean, 10 billion... Some film and television companies don't have a market value of 10 billion. How can they afford it?"

"It's fine if you can't afford it, let some powerful companies buy it."

"But the problem is that companies that can afford it are not willing to buy it. It's too expensive."

"That can't be helped."

Mo Bai has always insisted on his own price.

"Hey, Mo Baiju, in fact, you are not short of money, so there is no need for so much money."

Burhan struggled.

Journey to the West is the most well-known work on their Qidian Chinese website, and it is also the work that they value most.

They really want to really justify the starting point through this work.

After all, online novels are still not recognized by everyone, and they are still not considered mainstream.

If Journey to the West can make a strong attack, it can completely change this phenomenon.

It's just that the 10 billion that Mo Bai shouted scared everyone away.

"It's not a matter of money or not."

Mo Bai laughed.

He quoted 10 billion yuan not because of lack of money, but because he thought Journey to the West was worth the price.

Not only the value, but also the value of the special value.

Even Mo Bai felt that the price of 10 billion was too low.

"Bohan, how about this, after Journey to the West is published and sold, let's talk about film and television copyright."

Although Mo Bai is not willing to lower the price, he also knows the meaning of Qidian Chinese website.

The reason why some film and television companies are unwilling to pay this price is not only that it is a sky-high price, but also because the platform for the first release of Journey to the West is on the Internet.Although online literature is becoming more and more popular, they still feel that online novels are not very good.First of all, it is worse than traditional novels in terms of force.

That being the case, let the data after the publication of Journey to the West really let them feel the charm of Journey to the West.

"Well, that can only be done."

Seeing what Mo Bai said, Bohan also knew what it meant, nodded his head, and prepared to see the paper sales of Journey to the West.

……

"Everyone, how many volumes of Journey to the West have you printed?"

"We printed a million copies."

"Damn it, your heart is too cruel, you dare to print it?"

"How much did you print?"

"Not many, 50 volumes."

"It's okay, you are not timid."

"I was harmed by you all. I always said that Journey to the West is so good. I read it right away, but I was brainwashed by this novel, and then 50 copies were printed. Now I regret it. 50 copies were printed. I got too much, and if I can’t sell it, I’m going to lose money.”

"What a loss, do you think Journey to the West can't sell 50 copies?"

"Of course I don't think that Journey to the West will sell less than 50 copies. The problem is that any publishing house can publish Journey to the West. You also printed 100 million copies. I have 50 copies, which is 150 million copies. If you add other Some publishing companies in China, I estimate, have printed at least 1000 million copies. 1000 million copies, is there any book in China that sells so well?"

"Then I'll tell you, have we actually printed 1000 million copies?"

Another publisher interjected.

The person who said this was Wang Hongcheng, the founder of Hongcheng Publishing House.

"what?"

"Wang Hongcheng, you are crazy, you are betting your entire fortune on this book."

"No, even if you have all your wealth, you don't have the funds to publish 1000 million copies. You wouldn't pay back the money you borrowed, would you?"

"Yes, I also borrowed 3000 million."

Wang Hongcheng nodded.

Wang Hongcheng is the founder of Hongcheng Publishing Company, a small publishing company.

Unlike other companies, Wang Hongcheng chose to publish online novels.

Although the amount of published online novels is not large, in recent years, Wang Hongcheng has discovered that.The sales of online novels are getting better and better, and even the sales of some well-known online novel authors far exceed those of some well-known traditional authors.

However, after all, the strength is relatively small, and Hongcheng Publishing Company has been making small troubles, unable to make it bigger.

But this time, when a Journey to the West appeared, Wang Hongcheng knew that the opportunity had come.

Not only did he put all his belongings into this work, he also borrowed 3000 million from the bank.

He believes that Journey to the West will definitely create miracles.

And his own Hongcheng Publishing House can also create miracles in Journey to the West, so it can grow bigger...

"Oh my God."

"Brother Hong Cheng, you can ask for blessings."

The other publishers were dumbfounded.

And for some large publishing houses, they couldn't stop laughing when they learned that a small publishing house had printed 1000 million copies of Journey to the West.

"That Wang Hongcheng, did his head get flooded?"

"I also think, 1000 million volumes, I'll go, Mr. Liangyong's decades of works don't add up to 1000 million volumes."

"Does this girl still think that Journey to the West is one of the four great classics?"

"Forget it, Wang Hongcheng is going to die, so I will cancel the original printing of 10 copies."

"At first I wanted to print some Journey to the West, but looking at it now, I also lost 5 copies."

"Same reduction, same reduction, don't be fooled by the book Journey to the West."

Several large publishing companies met, and quickly agreed to reduce the number of printed copies of Journey to the West.

time flies.

With hundreds of domestic publishing houses working overtime to print, the first batch of Journey to the West was officially printed.

However, the market has been unable to make a statistics on how many copies of the first batch of Journey to the West were printed.

However, how many copies of the first edition of Journey to the West can be sold has become the focus of discussion in the market recently.

"I estimate that Journey to the West can only sell 100 million copies at most."

"I also think there can only be a maximum of 100 million copies. There are many reasons. First, although Journey to the West is a classic, it has not been serialized on the Internet for a long time, and its influence is not great. The second is that the writing style of Journey to the West is biased. Ancient prose, which is contrary to readers. Third, the main genre of Journey to the West is the novel of gods and demons, and it is not considered a popular genre."

"Upstairs, let me add. Another reason is that Journey to the West has already been serialized on the Internet, and the finale has already been posted. There is no need for readers to buy paper books, as long as they can read them online."

Many netizens who are not optimistic, are talking about it.

However, such unfavorable attitudes did not affect Mo Bai at all.

Open Weibo, Mo Bai updated a message.

"A few days ago, someone asked me how much the copyright fee of Journey to the West was, and I said 10 billion yuan. As a result, the other party was scared away. Today, someone asked how many copies of Journey to the West can be sold, and I would say, 1 million copies. "
