Chapter 732 The Divine Condor's Ambition
After confirming that Qin Yun would take over the project——
Shuimu Culture did not announce the news immediately.
After all, the controversy over "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" had just ended, and it would not be good to cause more trouble at this time, so this matter was only known to Luoyang and a few senior executives of Shuimu Culture. Zheng Banqiu also knew about it, but a respected person like Zheng Banqiu would definitely not talk big everywhere.
Xiang Tao was puzzled by Luoyang's letting go of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
However, Hua Qi's explanation at the morning meeting made Xiang Tao understand the reason:
"The boss is busy writing the second part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so naturally he doesn't have so much time to write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". Moreover, although "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" may reach the best-selling standard, it is a niche literature after all and cannot become a real phenomenon. It has only sold more than 30 million copies in two weeks since it was launched. If the boss writes martial arts, it is possible to sell more than 30 million copies on the first day, and the copyright derivative value will be greater!"
Indeed, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is very popular.
But history is indeed a niche genre in Longguo. The best proof is that no historical writer has ever reached the best-selling standard.
As mentioned in the previous article, the word "best-selling" in Longguo is not as valuable as the so-called best-selling works in the previous life. As long as the works on Earth in the previous life were a little popular, they would dare to be called best-selling writers, but in Longguo, the minimum standard for best-selling is that the monthly sales of the work exceeds 50 million!
Without this achievement, you are not qualified to be called a best-selling writer!
Therefore, there are very few best-selling writers in Longguo at present.
And above the best-selling standard, there is another level, which is called phenomenal!
In general, phenomenal appears as an adjective. It is suitable for describing a work as very popular. For example, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can be described as phenomenal, but strictly speaking, all popular works including "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" have not reached the phenomenal standard of Longguo.
What is the standard of the phenomenal level in Longguo?
The minimum standard of the phenomenal level in Longguo is that the monthly sales of the work exceeds 100 million!
That’s right, it’s the sales volume that has exceeded 100 million. This shackle is not something that anyone can break. Even for someone as strong as Luoyang, only two super masterpieces, The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Three-Body Problem, have broken through the shackles and become phenomenal.
Luoyang is very clear about the difficulty.
Why did The Three-Body Problem become a phenomenon?
Of course, the quality of The Three-Body Problem itself is good enough, but there is another reason besides the quality -
That is, when the "science fiction is dead" theory was circulating throughout the country, The Three-Body Problem came out. It surpassed the quality of other science fiction novels in Longguo, making many readers realize that the science fiction in Longguo was not completely dead. The book The Three-Body Problem, in a certain sense, has represented a ray of hope for science fiction in Longguo. It even inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of some readers. Under such circumstances, the sales of The Three-Body Problem naturally exploded instantly and became a phenomenal work!
Science fiction cannot die out like this!
So everyone is willing to support The Three-Body Problem!
This is the factor behind the hot sales of "The Three-Body Problem" at that time, in addition to the quality. No one can say how much this factor has boosted the sales of "The Three-Body Problem", but what is certain is that without this factor, "The Three-Body Problem" would definitely not have been so exaggerated just by its quality.
Next, let's look at "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This book also broke the shackles and achieved a phenomenal miracle.
This is also the second phenomenal work in Luoyang's life. The quality is needless to say, but factors other than quality also occupy a large factor.
Because Luoyang was wrapped in the power of the Nobel Prize in Literature at that time, and at the same time there was the gimmick of returning after a year of disappearance, the combination of these two triggered the readers' expectations, so that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" could achieve a phenomenal level naturally!
Without these two factors, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" may not be able to achieve a phenomenal level.
But it will definitely lose a lot of color, after all, these two factors are too important, so important that no one can ignore them.
From the above analysis, we can also see the difficulty of achieving a phenomenal level. It does not mean that if your book is of sufficient quality and then published, it will inevitably achieve a phenomenal level!
"More than 30 million copies have been sold in two weeks. If another 20 million copies are sold in the next half month, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can become another best-selling work in Longguo. According to the current trend, this book is almost certain to reach the best-selling standard, but writing a best-selling work now does not mean so much to the boss..."
When Xiang Tao said this, he always felt that something was wrong.
When did a best-selling work become insignificant?
You should know that most domestic publishing houses may not be able to produce a best-selling work in a year. Even Shuimu Culture and Youlong Culture, which are among the top 20 domestic publishing houses, can hardly produce a few best-selling works in a year!
So "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is absolutely precious!
Any author who writes a work of this level must be regarded as a treasure.
Because "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" has a huge advantage, that is, it can be written into a series!
Yes, any other writer would definitely fight for this gold medal series, but Luoyang would not. Luoyang gave this work a perfect start, pushed it to the throne of best-selling works, and then directly threw it to the works under his own company to continue writing.
This kind of behavior is a waste of money!
But there is no way, Luoyang has his own plans!
"Don't feel sorry, Qin Yun is one of our people, he has already signed the contract, so "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is destined to be labeled by our Shuimu Culture. I don't have the energy to write "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" now, because I want to hit the phenomenon level with the second part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
To hit the phenomenon level, you need the right time, right place, and the right people!
It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to use the quality of the work itself to break the shackles of "phenomenal".
Luoyang doesn’t want “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” to become dusty!
Since "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a phenomenal monster in the Dragon Kingdom books, why can't "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" continue to maintain its phenomenal status? ?
It won't be long before "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be officially launched. I don't know if this TV series can recreate the crowds in the memory... If it succeeds, the IP of The Condor Heroes will explode to the greatest extent by then. At that time, we will follow the trend. With the release of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", why not worry about becoming a phenomenon?
This is Luoyang’s Plan A!
As a time traveler, how can he do it with only two phenomenal works?
It must be three, four, five or even more... Luoyang even thought about surpassing the phenomenal level!
Of course, this is something that needs to be planned in the future, because now even "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" may not be able to reach phenomenal standards.
All my good plans are based on the great success of the TV series "Legend of the Condor Heroes". If the TV series "Legend of the Condor Heroes" receives very few ratings and fails miserably, then the future release of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will definitely be too. will be affected.
This is also the reason why Luoyang refused Xiao Yan to put "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on Qianyu Satellite TV——
This TV series is related to the future impact of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the Dragon Kingdom's phenomenal sales, so Luoyang cannot take risks.
