Chapter 189: Dismal Sales

When the ratings of "My Name is Kim Sansun" exceeded 20% and reached 285%, everyone had already seen its potential, but when the ratings of the third episode came out, everyone was still stunned. This was really scary!

356%!

The ratings not only exceeded 30%, but also reached an astonishing 356%. It is only a matter of minutes to break 40%!

This is definitely a popular TV series. Many people in the TV industry, whether they heard about it or saw the news, have found the full series currently broadcast and watched it several times, because they are also wondering why the TV series that Jung Hyukjae took on can be so impressive?

Long before the TV series "My Name is Jin Sanshun" was broadcast, Xiongjin Publishing House had already started promoting the novel version based on the trend of the TV series "My Name is Jin Sanshun". Although this is a bit like using MBC TV to ride, because it is the same novel and TV series, both for Xiongjin Publishing House and MBC TV, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. After all, everyone knows that publicity is never as simple as 11=2!

In addition to borrowing the MBC TV station's favor, Xiongjin Publishing House also made the title of "Quanyu" when promoting the novel version of "My Name is Jin Sanshun". After all, after the hot sale of the novel "Harvard Love Story", the title of "Quanyu" has occupied the first few seats in youth love novels, and no one dared to deny the success of "Quanyu" in novel publishing.

‘The latest masterpiece of the novel "Harvard Love Story" - "My Name is Jin Sanshun" is coming. Explore the love stories of ordinary women of thirty generations!’

From the Internet to physical stores, the publicity offensive has been fully launched. The publicity expenses alone probably cost a lot of money. Xiongjin Publishing House is particularly concerned about the sales of "My Name is Jin Sanshun" this time, because it has been a role model for "Harvard Love Story". In addition, all the editors who have read the novel version of "My Name is Jin Sanshun" also praised it. Among them, there are several gold medal editors from the publishing house, who gave extremely high evaluations after reading this book.

"The novel is very good. Although it is not clear how this novel will be adapted on the TV series. However, with Quanyuxi's writing skills, the ratings of this TV series are definitely not low!"

"I am very optimistic about the sales of this novel. This time, we can definitely take the lead in the sales of novels this quarter. I am very confident about Quanyuxi!"

It is precisely because of the words of these gold medal editors that Xiongjin Publishing House has made up its mind and increased its publicity campaign against "My Name is Jin Sanshun", many offline activities have been held, with the only purpose of "My Name is Jin Sanshun".

Merchants always seek profit. This is never exceptional. It is precisely because of the potential of the novel "My Name is Jin Sanshun" that Xiongjin Publishing House has made such a great decision.

In the office of Xiongjin Publishing House, Kwon Youlin holds the latest ratings counted by TNS South Korea and AGB Korea. The smile on her face has never stopped. Jung Hyukjae did not disappoint herself this time. The speed of the increase in the ratings of "My Name is Kim Sansun" is really amazing!

"Minister Quan, do you think our printing factory still needs to be ready to print at any time?" A staff member stood in front of her and asked carefully.

"How is the sales of the 200,000 printed copies?" Hearing the words of his subordinates, Quan Youlin put down the ratings statistics table in her hand and asked.

"The sales statistics table are here. The statistics table are counted the day before yesterday. As for yesterday's sales, sellers from all over the country have not sent yesterday's results, so there may be some errors in the numbers." The staff member was afraid that Kwon Yuri would not know, so he explained.

"Okay, I get it!"

Quan Youlin raised her eyebrows and said lightly, then turned her attention to the table in her hand, slowly swept the numbers on the table, and was thinking about something in her heart.

Because of the sales of "Harvard Love Story", Xiongjin Publishing House was relieved this time when publishing "My Name is Kim Sansun", and the first batch of 200,000 copies were printed. It was obvious that he was very confident that Jung Hyukjae had already had the pseudonym "Quan Woo".

However, when she got the statistics table, she realized that there was a gap between ideals and reality, and not everyone's ideals would become reality. At least for Quan Youlin, the sales volume of the novel "My Name is Jin Sanshun" this time is definitely not very beautiful.

75218!

The sales of more than 75,000 copies is definitely a good sales volume for a new writer, but for "Quanyu", this best-selling writer who sold hundreds of thousands of copies of "Harvard Love Story", this time this book can definitely be called Jung Hyuk's Waterloo.

The TV series "My Name is Kim Sansun" has been on air for two weeks. The third episode was just released last night, and the ratings have successfully broken the 30% hurdle, reaching an amazing rating of 356%.

But the difference is that the sales of the novel version of "My Name is Jin Sanshun" has been declining from more than 10,000 copies on the first day to thousands of copies every day now, and the sales of the novel have been declining, which makes Quan Youlin very puzzled.

Logically speaking, a successful TV series does not play a great role in promotion, but it will definitely fluctuate to a certain extent in sales. However, looking at the somewhat bleak sales in front of you, Quan Youlin felt that it was quite overwhelming.

"Minister Quan?"

The subordinates on the side frowned when they saw Quan Youlin in front of him. He was already a little nervous and trembled when he spoke, but in the end he mustered up the courage to ask, who made the iceberg female boss in the publishing house look good?

The subordinate's soft question woke Quan Youlin, who was in deep thought, raised her head and looked at him. She deliberately ignored the admiration in his eyes. Quan Youlin waved and said, "Okay. I already know the sales situation. You can go out first!"

"yes!"

Hearing Quan Youlin's cold words, the male subordinate seemed to be reluctant to leave, but in the end he left the office lightly. Finally, he was reluctant to look at Quan Youlin and gently closed the office door.

When he heard the sound of closing the door, Quan Youlin stood up. Without subordinates in front of him, Quan Youlin did not show the iceberg color anymore. He stood up and circled around the table. His face also had an anxious look. Who made the sales of the novel "My Name is Jin Sanshun" fail to achieve the expected goal?

When signing an agreement with Jung Hyukjae, in order to snatch Jung Hyukjae's new book from several other large publishers, Xiongjin Publishing House gave Jung Hyukjae a great concession. In terms of royalties, Xiongjin Publishing House gave a basic royalty of 12%, plus a bet agreement.

Of course, it is not considered a bet agreement. It just means that royalties will be linked to the ratings of TV series. If the ratings reach 30%, the royalties will be increased to 13%. If the ratings reach more than 40%, the royalties will be increased to 14%. If the ratings reach 50%, the royalties will be directly increased from 14% to 20%. After all, with the advent of the Internet era, the current environment of TV series is not good compared to before. It is definitely a happy event worthy of a big book, and it will definitely have a significant boost to the sales of novels!

"What's going on? Is there something wrong?" Kwon Yuri was circling around the office. She recalled all the links of the novel from promotion to sales, but after thinking about it, she really couldn't figure out what was wrong!

Like the gold medal editors in the company, before the novel was officially released, Xiongjin Publishing House specially selected a batch of hardcover novels to deliver to some newspapers and magazine editors, and another group was in front of novel enthusiasts. In addition to letting them collect and read, they also had to collect a questionnaire in the form style to count the positive reviews, and the positive reviews would be related to the first batch of novels printed.

There is a novel version of "My Name is Jin Sanshun", and everyone gave high praise, and the praise rate reached 91%, which means that this is a classic love novel.

But the actual sales told Quan Youlin the truth about it, that is, ideals do not actually equal reality!

Just as he was thinking about how to remedy the sales matter, a phone ringing on his desk interrupted Quan Youlin's next thought. He looked at the caller ID on the phone. Because it was a short number within the company, Quan Youlin knew very well that the phone call was called from his father's office.

"Hello!"

"Hello, Minister Quan, the chairman wants to tell you if you have something to do, please come to the office!" A young girl's gentle words came through the microphone, which made Quan Youlin frown.

"Okay, I understand, let's go!"

After hanging up the phone, Quan Youlin thought for a while, but decided to pick up the sales statistics table. According to her guess, this time her father called herself over must be related to this matter.

After walking out of the office, several staff members who passed by stopped and greeted him when they saw that they had stopped. Quan Youlin nodded and left.

He pushed open the door of his father's office, and the girl who had just called him was waiting for him to arrive in front of the door. After seeing Quan Youlin, he hurried forward to help him, took over the file box in her hand, and said with a smile: "Minister Quan, you are here, the chairman is waiting for you in the office inside!"

"Okay, I understand! Just give this to me." Quan Youlin took the file box again from the secretary girl and turned around and walked into the office, and closed the office door.

"Come?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, a man in his fifties sitting at the desk raised his head. Although his face was a little old-fashioned, his hair was still as black and shiny as a young man. He looked at his daughter with a smile, "Sit there when you come,"

"Dad, I heard you called me, is there anything wrong?" Quan Youlin sat on the sofa, without asking anything else, and said bluntly.

"Yes, I asked you to come over and there's something to say."

The middle-aged and elderly man sat upright, his belly was closed, and he looked at his second female lead and said, "I heard that the sales of the novel "My Name is Jin Sanshun" has not exceeded 100,000 copies yet?"

Quan Youlin was not surprised that her father got the sales statistics table first before him, after all, he was the company's Oss.

Hearing him say this, Quan Youlin didn't avoid anything, nodded and replied: "Yes!"

"When you signed the contract, how much did you give?"

"The basic royalty is 12%, and there are floating royalties linked to the ratings." Quan Youlin replied.

After listening to his daughter's words, the man stood up and said, "I remember the first lesson you taught you when you were young was about 'giving', because shopping malls are like battlefields, and blindly attacking is absolutely undesirable. Sometimes you need to give up! It seems that giving up, but in fact you get much more than giving up!"

"When I was a child, I always thought you were a smart girl, and you learned more and understood more about these things in the mall than your brother. I don't think I need to tell you the story I told you when I was a child, right?"

After listening to his father's words, a trace of struggle flashed across Quan Youlin's face, as if deep down in her heart was also struggling at this time. Soon, Quan Youlin raised her head again and looked at her father with a firm look and replied: "Dad, I decided to wait a little longer!"

The answer seemed a little different, but the man still laughed and expressed his understanding of his daughter's decision. After all, it was a project she brought out by herself. If the sales volume was not good, her face would definitely not be good either.

"Since you insist on doing this, you have to face the current difficulties. Many things are not as simple as you think, just like the sales of "My Name is Jin Sanshun" this time!"

"Since you have made this decision, you must also do the consequences of not being able to succeed!"

Quan Youlin nodded to show that she knew.

"Okay, then you go out first!" The man waved his hand. Quan Youlin gently brought the door after walking out of the door, and looked at the back of his father who had been extremely tall since he was a child. It seemed that his waist was bent a little more than a few years ago, and his body was not as good as a few years ago.

Walking out of the chairman's office, Quan Youlin came to the marketing propaganda department, and the file box slapped on the desktop with a 'slap'. Quan Youlin glanced at all the members of the department and said, "There is a meeting below!" (To be continued. (.))
