A perfect life starting from a light novel writer

News often lags behind.

A few days later, the news that Jiuyou Animation announced that "Anohana" would be animated and would be broadcast in the spring market in early January next year spread throughout the southern province.

Hongfeng Literature also cooperated in the promotion, and in a short period of time, most of Anohana's fans also learned about the news through various channels.

"So soon? How long has it been since Anohana was finished? It's already being animated?"

"If the preparatory work is done quickly, it will be broadcast in three to five months."

"I checked the information. It's an investment of 20 million and it's broadcast on TV7 in Shanghai. Damn, this is too sudden."

"In fact, the proportion of novels in the southern province that have been animated is still quite small. Only the top two popular works in the five major bookstores' main journals can meet the popularity requirements for animation, and companies will invest in them. Anohana is probably because the popularity is really too explosive, and the animation company saw its potential, so they moved so quickly to animate it."

"I hope Anohana will become popular in the whole Dragon Country after it is animated. I talked to a friend from another province and he said that our Anohana in the southern province is very good. He said that he couldn't buy the journal there. It was only after the single volume was released nationwide in recent days that he read it, and then sent me a private message saying that he had read it. I feel so uncomfortable. "

"How are the sales of the single volume of Anohana in other provinces? "

"I don't know. I have to wait until the day after tomorrow, when the single volume has been released for a week, and Hongfeng Literature will announce this data. "

"It will take more than two months, almost three months, for the animation to be broadcast. It's hard to wait!"

"I used to be a fan of Qingkong Bookstore, and I never paid much attention to "Hongfeng". This time, my sister strongly recommended me to read the single volume of Anohana. I can only say that I cried to death. I have been depressed these days. I hope that after the animation of Anohana, the audiences of the whole Dragon Kingdom will be the same as me. "

"Me too, I can only say that there is no false reputation under the reputation. I didn't care about so many people praising this work in the southern province a few months ago, until I bought the single volume a few days ago and read it all in one go. I won't say anymore, I am still depressed now.

"Haha, it turns out that I am not the only one like this. I really finished reading the single volume with tears in my eyes, and I couldn't let it go for several days. Now I just hope that Mr. Yuanqing's new work can be more joyful, and not be as tear-jerking as Anohana. ”

“Don’t worry, Genkiyo’s first novel, Journey of Youth, was quite sweet. Tear-jerking is just an exception. She should be good at daily life in youth. And since Anohana made fans so upset, she should also know her mistakes. I think the next novel should be very sweet.”

“Why do I feel like you are a pessimist? Generally speaking, when you say such things at such a critical moment, the final result is often very different from what you imagined. ”

Under the influence of many factors such as the seed quota of "New God Ascension", the release of the single volume of Anohana, and the news of the animation of Anohana, the popularity of "Genqing" in the field of light novels in Southern Province rose to an extremely high level.

It can be said that in real life, in school, and in the workplace, when novel lovers get together and talk for a few words, the topic will immediately lead to "Genqing".

On the Internet, because a large number of fans who have never read Anohana before have joined the pit, the discussion of this novel and Genqing is even higher than when Anohana was finished.

Among the five major book clubs in Southern Province, except for Hongfeng Literature, the other four book clubs are also trying to inquire about "Genqing" through various channels.

But in the end, even within Hongfeng Literature, Not many people know Xia Yan's true identity, and they have a duty to keep it secret, not to mention other book clubs.

Many book clubs wanted to poach Yuan Qing during his rest time, but they couldn't find a breakthrough.

It was another Sunday.

Inside Hongfeng Literature, a large group of editors gathered together, waiting for the first week sales data of Anohana to be released.

After all, in Longguo, the first week sales can basically predict the final sales of this book.

If a novel is not adapted into a game, animation, or comics in the later period, or if the work suddenly becomes popular again in the next few years due to some reasons.

The sales of the book in the first week of the release of that work is about one-third of the total sales.

"How much do you think it will be? In the southern province, there should be 200,000 copies."

"Based on the popularity of Anohana before the serialization, I think it may be more than 220,000 copies and less than 250,000 copies. ”

“The average sales volume of Winter Lake is 520,000 copies. The first-week sales volume of the latest volume of the novel is 173,500 copies. Although the number of votes for the final chapter of Anohana far exceeds that of Winter Lake, that is only the data of one chapter of the novel. I also believe that the first-week sales volume of Anohana will exceed the data of the latest volume of Winter Lake, but it should not be too outrageous. After all, this novel is short and the popularity is not yet accumulated. ”

“Indeed, no matter what is good about Yuanqing’s novel, the shortness is a fatal flaw. The popularity of the novel often does not spread, and you finish it. This is fatal. ”

“But in fact, even if the Southern Province can have 250,000 copies in the first week, it is terrifying! This means that the average sales volume of the final volume of this novel in the Southern Province alone will be more than 700,000 or 800,000 copies.”

"Not only that, don't forget that Yuan Qing's novels have performed well in other provinces, just like his "Journey of Youth" can also contribute to the sales of nearly 200,000 copies per volume in other provinces. This is far from what Winter Lake can compare to. Winter Lake has contributed less than "20,000 copies" per volume in 16 provinces. If Yuan Qing's "Anohana" can also have such sales data as "Journey of Youth" in other provinces, it is actually quite scary. In this way, the total sales of this novel may exceed one million copies per volume?"

[ ]

"One million copies?"

"This"

"Hey, you are getting more and more exaggerated."

"But why do I think it is not impossible when I think about it!"

"I have been very busy recently and have not paid attention to the data from the printing factory that the bookstore cooperates with, but I have heard that no matter whether it is the sales data within or outside the province, the single volume of Anohana is sold out anyway, and the printing factory is working overtime to print more copies."

At this point, everyone in the editorial department fell silent at the same time.

Why can Youth Journey have high sales in other provinces without any publicity, but Winter Lake cannot?

In fact, it is because the quality of the novel Youth Journey is high.

At least in the eyes of readers from other provinces, Youth Journey is of higher quality than Winter Lake, and even higher than many local novels in other provinces.

Only in this way can book fans from other provinces spontaneously help promote this novel and act as tap water.

A person of 1.8 meters standing among a group of people of 1.7 meters, even if he is dressed simply, will be very conspicuous and easily discovered.

And among a group of people of 1.7 meters, who looks conspicuous has to do with dressing.

In this example, the height of a person is the quality of the novel. And the clothing is the strength of capital's publicity resources for the novel and the outer packaging of the work.

These differences ultimately resulted in the sales of Winter Lake from other provinces contributing only "20,000 copies" per volume, while Youth Journey had "200,000 copies."

From this perspective, "Anohana", which is obviously of higher quality than "Youth Journey", should be able to sell well outside the province. The key point of its total sales of single volumes may not only look at the southern province, but also focus on the data of other provinces.

At 11 o'clock in the morning.

The data statistics reported by the major partners under the book company were released and made into a report and sent to the editorial department.

Tang Yin also followed everyone in the editorial department to see the first week single volume sales data of "Anohana".

Anohana has two volumes in total, and the first week sales in the southern province are: 604,651 copies.

When this line of words appeared in front of everyone

Dozens of people in the entire editorial department were almost stunned.

When they were still guessing that the upper limit of the sales of the single volume of Anohana was 250,000 copies per volume, the actual total sales in the Southern Province alone exceeded 600,000 copies, which is 300,000 copies per volume.

This is just the first week sales!

According to the single volume data, the final volume data is more than three times the first week sales.

Could it be that?

Anohana can achieve an average sales of 900,000 copies per volume in the Southern Province alone?

This.

Are tear-jerking novels so popular?

Are the fans of novels in the entire Southern Province so fond of this?

Should we collect more tear-jerking novels and serialize them in the book club?

Even if they are novels produced by their own book club, the editors are still confused by this result.

This. Is the current trend of the light novel industry in the Southern Province?

Moreover, an editor soon noticed something wrong.

This data is only the sales data in the Southern Province.

What about other provinces?

Many people immediately looked down

Total sales data outside the Southern Province: 513,659 copies.

The 16 provinces outside the province sold about 30,000 copies each, and that was the sum of the sales of the two volumes of the single book, so the average sales of each volume was only about 15,000 copies. .

This kind of single book sales data, no matter which province, is not impressive when counted alone, so the discussion of this novel in other provinces of Longguo is not high, that is, the book fans in other provinces have their own small circle to discuss it, and spontaneously promote the work.

But the data of the 17 provinces of Longguo, once the data is aggregated, it will be an extremely outrageous data.

Finally.

The single book of Anohana was released for one week, and the total sales volume was: 1,118,310 copies.

The average sales volume in the first week was: 559,155 copies.

Again, this is only the first week sales, not the final sales.

According to conventional experience, the final sales performance of this work will be based on the above data, multiplied by more than three times.

Wait until three months later to calculate the total sales data of Anohana.

It is highly likely that the total sales of the book in the sixteen provinces of Dragon Country will exceed three million copies, with each volume exceeding one and a half million copies.

This.

The editors, including Tang Yin, were speechless for a long time.

This achievement.

Just based on the publicity support given to it by Red Maple Literature, it can only be said to be amazing.
