Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 691 The first sale of the new book is released; Tian Moyun launched a ginseng attack on you

The 24-hour results of "Tian Long Ba Bu" were released at [-]:[-] noon the next day.

And after this data came out, Li Qiuya was the first to check.

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Sold so many on the first day, it means that those loyal readers are still there, as long as this foundation is still there, when the word-of-mouth of this book starts to ferment, it will attract more people to read it." If you buy it, there will be no problem at that time, at least you can sell three or four... 500 million copies, right?"

Before, she felt that selling 400 million copies was already the limit.

But now, after seeing such a good first sale, she thinks she can sell at least 500 million copies.

floating away...

Li Qiuya directly sent the news to Tian Moyun.

……

the other side.

"The 24-hour first sale was not bad, much better than I expected."

Tian Moyun was a little surprised.

According to the statistics of all channels:

"Dragon Babu" sold a total of 97 copies in offline chain bookstores, 54 copies on online shopping platforms, and 58 copies on online book shopping platforms, with a total of 209 million copies.

originally.

According to Tian Moyun's expectations, if the first sale can sell 100 million or even 80 copies, it is considered very good.

After all, the market environment is not as good as before due to the impact of the Internet.

But I didn't expect to sell 209 million copies in the end.

You know, even "Yitian", which broke the record at the beginning and has not been surpassed so far, only sold 200 million copies in its first sale, which is not as good as "Tian Long Ba Bu".

Of course, there is a reason for that.

When "Yi Tian" was first sold, a total of 200 million copies were prepared, but they were all sold out. If it wasn't sold out, maybe I could buy some more.

"but……"

Tian Moyun sighed softly: "The market profits of offline chain bookstores are indeed incomparable to before."

When "Yitian" was first released, 90% of it had to rely on offline chain bookstores, and that was the main channel for buying books.

But now?

Among the first sales data of 209 million copies of "Tian Long Ba Bu", only 97 copies were sold through offline channels, accounting for only 46% of all sales.

This is very incredible data.

You know, this is not a certain bookstore, but more than 90% of chain bookstores in the country, which is almost equal to the national offline book sales market.

Such a huge offline book sales market combined is not as large as online sales... If this data is released, it will definitely shake the entire industry.

……

thought here.

Tian Moyun sent a message to Li Qiuya: "If you want to announce the first sales data, you should directly announce the overall sales data, and don't clearly divide online and offline, so as to avoid causing hostility from offline distributors."

"Ok."

Li Qiuya also immediately realized the problem.

For a long time, the status of offline sales channels in the entire industry has been extremely high. After all, most industries rely on them for food.

But now it's different.

It can be seen from the first sales data of "Tian Long Ba Bu" that the real situation of offline sales channels is no longer optimistic. It is like a paper tiger, which looks fierce but is actually vulnerable.

Hmm...it's not that bad.

Adding up the offline sales channels, 46% of the sales volume can be sold, which is quite strong.

After all, they don't rely on [Thunder Group] for food, and they don't need to please. They may not be willing to work hard when promoting offline. How can it be compared to online platforms. In order to please "Dad", they can use any promotion method It is normal to be surpassed after being used.

Offline sales channels...

The reason why it is said that once this data is published, it is easy to arouse the hostility of channel operators is that the fundamental reason lies in the core interests of offline channel operators.

In the past, offline channel providers were terminal fathers. When they negotiated cooperation with publishers, they often showed a strong performance and gained a lot of benefits from it.

But once the core advantages of offline channel providers are gone, and publishers no longer regard it as the only choice, then offline channel providers will not have any strong position to speak of when negotiating.

Once the publisher intends to sell all the books on the online platform in order to obtain more benefits...

This is equivalent to touching the lifeline of offline channel providers.

"This problem will be exposed sooner or later, but it cannot be exposed because of us."

Li Qiuya's heart moved, and she guessed what Tian Moyun meant.

in the future--

The hegemonic status of offline channel providers will inevitably cease to exist. In order to retain publishers, they must take the initiative to cut meat and give up a lot of benefits to each other.

This is what is bound to happen.

After all, once online shopping platforms participate in the competition, in order to monopolize the market in the early stage, they even donate money to help publishers sell books, without earning a penny.

This kind of crazy means of competition is simply not something that offline distributors can resist... At that time, offline distributors will inevitably give up a lot of profits in order to deal with the attacks of online platforms.

According to Tian Moyun's intention.

It is best to let this kind of thing happen slowly, let the online platform and offline channels fight each other, dog eats dog, [Thunder Magazine] just need to watch from the sidelines in a low-key manner.

If "Tian Long Ba Bu" became the fuse of this transformation, then [Thunder Magazine] must be hated by many stakeholders.

At that time, [Thunder Magazine] will be targeted by a large number of peers, and it will be impossible to develop in a low-key manner.

……

June 2, 2:10 am.

【Thunder Magazine Official Account】announced a message:
"In the past 24 hours, the total sales volume of "Tian Long Ba Bu" was 209 million copies, with a total sales volume of 6270 million yuan."

"There is no doubt that this is a record-breaking achievement ("Yi Tian" sold 200 million copies for the first time, with sales of 4000 million yuan)."

"We proved everything with actual data."

"What the future industry ecology will look like and what form it will exist in is something we don't yet know, but we believe that the future must be even more brilliant."

"Reading is the ladder for the progress of human civilization. No matter what the future develops, the world of words will always exist and will always be at the forefront of the times."

"[Thunder Magazine] will never give up any meaningful words, and we will become more popular with the public as the times develop."

"Many seemingly outdated things are not necessarily outdated. Perhaps by chance, they will reappear in a way that amazes everyone."

"Many people say that winter is coming, but we believe that there is no need to be sad because winter is coming, it's just a short rest and silence. With the arrival of spring, dead vines and old trees will eventually be rejuvenated."

"If winter comes, can spring be far behind?"

A simple new development, but it hints at many things.

……

As soon as this news came out, netizens were immediately dumbfounded.

"209 million copies? My God, is this a dream?"

"It's unbelievable. Yesterday I saw that many people were guessing the monthly sales of this book. Some said 100 million copies, some said 200 million copies..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm short-sighted. Yesterday I swore that the monthly sales would not exceed 200 million copies. I didn't expect it to happen in just one day..."

"The first sale is 209 million copies. It is estimated that it will be no problem to sell 500 million copies a month. It may even break the monthly sales record."

"It's a bit of an exaggeration to break the monthly sales record. Regardless of the good first sales, monthly sales may not necessarily break 500 million copies. The industry's ceiling is over."

"It doesn't matter whether the monthly sales can exceed 500 million, at least the first 24 million copies are sold in 209 hours. Those bad guys must be dumb, right?"

"To be honest, this statistic really scares me... You know, the traditional novel industry hasn't produced a book with a cumulative sales volume of over one million in the past six months."

Netizens are amazed.

He made no secret of his shock.

In recent days, many people have been arguing about the sales ceiling of "Dragon Babu".

Netizens who are not optimistic, posted the data of the traditional novel industry in the past year, and there is only one book with a cumulative sales volume of over one million.

With such solid data, even those loyal readers who believed in Tian Moyun did not dare to say anything about breaking the record, but they still believed that it should not be a problem for this book to sell 200 million copies.

It's not like it can't even sell 200 million copies, right?After all, it is Tian Moyun's book, after all, it is supported by the emotional background of the first two works.

Netizens think so, and they set a range of "100 million to 200 million copies" for this book.

In their view, no matter how little "Dragon Babu" sells, it must at least break one million, but the upper limit is estimated to be around 200 million.

It couldn't be any higher.

Because the ceiling of the industry is here.

Regardless of the quality of the novel, even if it is a super masterpiece that has never been born in the industry, it is impossible to break through the ceiling.

But the reality slapped all netizens in the face.

The first 24 million copies were sold in 209 hours, and the sales in just one day of release have reached their expected one-month sales.

You know, many readers haven't had time to buy it yet.

At the same time, there are also many people who are waiting and watching, waiting to see other people's impressions before deciding whether to buy or not.

Then there are those young people who like to follow fashion trends.

These are uncertain potential consumer groups, even if only some of them decide to buy, it may directly double the sales.

The first sale is 209 million copies. As long as the quality and reputation are not bad, the monthly sales guarantee can reach more than 400 million copies. This is almost an industry consensus.

……

Those who once sang bad words are now speechless.

In the past whole year, excellent traditional novels were not uncommon, but only one sold over one million.

Under such circumstances, they can of course use a seemingly professional tone and say with certainty that "Dragon Babu" will definitely not break 200 million copies.

This is still a very conservative statement, with reference to many uncertain factors.

Some of them even secretly thought that if the quality of Tian Moyun's book was Waterloo, maybe even 100 million copies would be enough.

However, the reality slapped their faces swollen.

This made them not know what to do for a while.

If it is the final monthly sales of 209 million, it is okay to say, because the slap in the face is not too harsh, at most it is just a misjudgment, but it is not bad.

209 million copies and less than 200 million copies...is there a big gap?Right?
Moreover, a month has passed by then, how many people will still think about them?

Most people have long forgotten it, and even if a few people still remember it, it's not a big deal. They only need to pretend to be blind and deaf to get over it.

But now...

It's only been a day, and it's the moment when the enthusiasm of these people is at its peak. This wave of ruthless face-slapping, these people will be damned if they let them go.

"I haven't been online in the past few days."

Some "experts" sighed and confessed, saying that they would disconnect from the Internet and hide for a few days, and then go online to water forums after the limelight has passed.

This is the most sensible course of action.

If you don't hide from the limelight, you will definitely have to fight with those people, and then you will be so angry that you don't say anything, or this account will directly die socially.

……

People in the traditional novel industry are also shocked at the moment with empty heads.

A writer of traditional novels couldn't help but send a message to the editor: "Is this really the period of decline for the traditional novel industry? Why do I feel like I'm the only one in decline? You didn't mean to comfort me, did you?"

The editor of the publishing house is also full of bitterness.

Comfort you der!

This industry has entered a period of decline. In just two or three years, the market share has fallen by more than 80%. This is a fact.

Even if it is a new book by a top author, the sales volume is still in the hundreds of thousands of copies/set, and it is almost a luxury to reach a million. This is also a fact.

But who would have thought that Tian Moyun would achieve such terrifying results once he published a book?

It is too weird to directly break the first sales record and 24-hour sales record, as if the decline in market share has not affected him at all.

"There are two kinds of writers in the traditional novel industry, one is Tian Moyun, and the other is other writers."

Someone expressed such emotion, and everyone agreed with it.

Gradually, this sentence became popular on the Internet.

"There are two types of designers in the game industry, one is Tian Moyun, and the other is other designers."

"There are two kinds of entrepreneurs in this world, Tian Moyun, and other entrepreneurs."

"There are two kinds of intelligent creatures in this world, one is Tian Moyun and the other is human."

Wait a minute... It seems that something is wrong, this is the rhythm of expelling Tian Moyun.

Tian Moyun's face turned black when he saw this message, and he replied indifferently: "Suspected of ginseng attack, reported."

Netizens were paralyzed with laughter, is ginseng attack okay?
Someone even turned it into an emoji: Tian Moyun was holding a ginseng in his hand, and smashed a head in front of him.

There is a sentence in the blank space below the emoji: Boss Tian launched a ginseng attack on you, and the health value is -10000000000...

Not surprisingly.

This emoji immediately became popular and was welcomed by many young people.

Those who made emoticons weren't worried either. Tian Moyun was at the level of a patriarch when it came to playing sand sculpture jokes, so he didn't have the same knowledge as them.

Unlike some bosses who can't take jokes, they open their mouths to warn them with a letter from a lawyer, and they are almost closed to themselves by the ridicule of netizens.

……

"Brother, are you going to laugh at me to death and inherit my huge property?"

A certain girl sent a message to Tian Moyun, along with an emoticon package of "Ginseng Attack.jpg".

"Is it itchy?"

Tian Moyun replied a few words casually, and then didn't bother to talk to her again.

That girl is carefree outside all day long, and it's been a long time since I saw her. When we meet again, I'll clean up and let her know that your brother is still your brother.

"Did you make a typo on purpose?"

Su Qiong was a little curious.

"Why do you think so?"

Tian Moyun neither admitted nor denied it.

"Because it fits your character."

Su Qiong said slowly: "If you don't like it, you can just use the manager's background directly. You don't need to report it at all. Even if you want to report it, you will never tell the other party... But you just did it, so I guess, You must have done it on purpose, just to elicit this emoji."

"You're really getting smarter now."

Tian Moyun smiled gratifiedly.

"It's far worse than you."

When Su Qiong heard his praise, she was a little proud at first, but when she thought of the many "calculations" of this guy, the pride in her heart disappeared immediately.

She couldn't even see the other party's blatant calculations, she was so stupid, how could she be smart?
Thinking of this, Su Qiong suddenly felt that this topic was boring.

"Monument Valley will be finished soon."

Su Qiong changed the subject: "After finishing this game, what do you plan to do next?"

"Make an online game bar, a mobile online game."

Tian Moyun thought for a while: "The "Three Kingdoms Heroes" side, you can try to start."

Is it a mobile game of "Three Kingdoms Heroes"?
Su Qiong nodded slightly, not surprised.

When Tian Moyun was writing this book, she guessed that she must be planning to make it a big IP again.

Major adaptation directions such as film and television dramas and games must not be missed.

"I plan to design the mobile game "Three Kingdoms Heroes" as a strategy card type...that is, the gameplay of "Jianghu Killing"."

Tian Moyun said softly: "Compared to "Jianghu Killing", some adjustments should be made according to the original work to minimize the threshold. At the same time, the update mode of the online game should also be maintained. I have thought about the content of the later updates, completely based on the novel. Just do what’s in it.”

"The name, let's call it-"Three Kingdoms Killing"."

……

When "Jianghu Kill" was produced, it completely imitated the "Three Kingdoms" from the previous life.

Tian Moyun thought very simple at the time.

With my current operating conditions, it is too difficult to operate "Three Kingdoms", so I just change the background directly, and just take advantage of the popularity of "The Condor Shooting".

So there was "Jianghu Killing", which completely copied the gameplay of "Three Kingdoms Killing", a proper skin-changing work.

And now.

Seeing that the opportunity was right, Tian Moyun finally decided to bring out the theme of "Three Kingdoms".

This is an adaptation of the game... After thinking about it, it seems that it is a good choice to make a strategy card game first.

But "Three Kingdoms Killing" in the previous life must not be shown again, because it is completely "plagiarizing" "Jianghu Killing", which is a bit lacking in sincerity.

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just copied it when I thought about it. I didn't plan to do the theme of "Three Kingdoms". I didn't expect to go around and come back here..."

Tian Moyun shook his head, feeling a little sad.

……

no way.

It can only be "recreated" on the basis of the original gameplay.

According to Tian Moyun's idea, "Three Kingdoms Killing" and "Three Kingdoms Heroes" are completely connected, and the game is developed according to the latter's plot setting.

In this way, both parties can play a complementary role.

"Three Kingdoms Heroes" has a large readership base, and most of them are also interested in experiencing this mobile game based entirely on the plot of the original book.

And it's an online game.

This means that "Three Kingdoms" will become a game exclusively for their readers. In the reader group/reader forum, they can not only discuss the plot of the novel, but also play games together and discuss game strategies...

Mobile games, film and television dramas, comics...

A series of adaptations using smartphones as the carrier completely surrounds the readers...ah no, it wraps them cordially, forming a circle, allowing them to enjoy the warmth of a mother's love.

As long as this kind of IP derivative strategy is well managed and its reputation is not broken, "Three Kingdoms Heroes" will become a behemoth worth billions, and its market value and profits may be beyond the reach of many listed companies.

certainly--

Tian Moyun didn't care about the money.

He was past the time when he was interested in money.

Now, he cares more about spiritual pursuits, for example: making up for all the regrets of his previous life.

For example: cultural output.

Export the theme of "Three Kingdoms", which is mixed with the cultural style of Daxia, to many countries around the world, so that they can also feel the cultural charm from the East.

……

"Dragon Babu" is popular all over the country. Apart from those passers-by who look shocked, the one who pays the most attention to this matter is [Tianyu Entertainment Company], which has had many good cooperations.

Ji Fangyun called early in the morning to inquire about the film adaptation of this book.

"It's not in a hurry."

Tian Moyun said with a smile: ""Tian Long Ba Bu" has only sold one copy. I haven't written the follow-up plot yet, and it will take a while. I plan to wait for the subsequent plot to be written before considering adapting it. Movies and TV dramas."

Ji Fangyun quickly expressed that she was not in a hurry.

Anyway, the call was just to let go, and after confirming that the copyright of the new book, film and television drama could not be lost, Ji Fangyun was relieved.

[Tianyu Entertainment] As one of the leading companies in the entertainment industry, it has not yet reached the point where it is in urgent need of a TV series to save lives.

Although "Dragon and Babu" has the potential to be the king of ratings, it is not enough for a top entertainment company boss like her to personally dispatch it.

The reason why he is so active in winning "Tian Long Ba Bu" is not only to make some money, but also to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Tian Moyun.

Then, the two started chatting about other things, especially about Tian Wenwen.

Maybe because he knew that Tian Moyun liked to hear about Tian Wenwen, so Ji Fangyun picked up some interesting things to say, nothing more than to let him know that he attaches great importance to Tian Wenwen... that's all.

In addition to this matter, Ji Fangyun also mentioned the cooperation with [Thunder Magazine] and a novel called "The Legend of Heroes of the Three Kingdoms".

This made Tian Moyun's expression a little strange.

He was very curious, when the secret that "Tian Moyun" and "Great Sage" are the same person is revealed one day, how wonderful the faces of these people will be?
I believe that must be very interesting.

It must be able to bring some fun to your monotonous, boring, and boring life.
