Chapter 537 537. Old books are hot sellers

"Boss, do you have the complete set of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" here?"

"Uncle, I want to buy "Nirvana in Fire", do you have it here?"

"I want "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Nirvana in Fire" and "Zhu Xian" all."

Lao Mao is not unfamiliar with these book titles at all. These were best-sellers a few years ago, which made his small bookstore really make a lot of money. However, it has been a long time since the best-selling period of these books. Although Occasionally, someone would come and buy a set, but it was really rare for more than ten people to buy these three books at the same time.

"I don't know if the stock is enough. I need to go to the warehouse to take a look first." For this kind of annual best-selling work, Lao Mao Bookstore will sell a batch slowly, but it will definitely not be a lot, and he doesn't I know if I can satisfy the group of people in front of me.

After opening the bookstore, Lao Mao hurriedly went to the warehouse and took out all the sets of books he had stored. Among the people who came to buy books, you had one set and I had three sets. They were quickly divided up.

In this way, there are still five or six people who have not bought the book.

People who haven't bought it are anxious and have been queuing all morning, but they still haven't bought it yet. This is not okay.

"If you are not in a hurry, I will call the publishing house. They must have stock there. I will call now and the goods will arrive around one o'clock in the afternoon, but you need to leave me some deposit." Old Mao asked a few questions tentatively He is not willing to give up this business to book friends who have not bought it. After all, these people can produce more than ten sets of books together, which is a big deal for him.

I thought that not many people were willing to pay a deposit, but I didn't expect that all the people who didn't buy something on the spot were willing to pay a deposit.

"We have paid the deposit. The boss must be trustworthy in doing business. We will come to pick it up at one o'clock in the afternoon." Several book buyers each paid a hundred yuan, which was regarded as an advance deposit for Lao Mao.

Lao Mao held the deposit in his hand and knew what was going on. He quickly called the publishing house to request the goods.

"Hey, why can't I get through? The line is always busy." Old Mao called the landline numbers of Wuji Publishing House, but all of them said they were busy. Old Mao just thought that the other party's phone number must not have been dialed properly. After thinking about it, he found out from the phone number I found the number of a publishing editor in the address book and called him.

The number was not busy, but no one answered. Lao Mao called again unbelievingly, and when he was about to hang up automatically again, the call suddenly went through.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Hey, Editor Wang, this is my old cat from West Alley."

"Ah, hello, hello. I was too busy here and didn't notice my phone." Editor Wang had a good attitude and explained with a smile, and then asked: "Old Cat, what's the matter with you?"

"Editor Wang, I know you are busy, so I won't chat with you anymore. I really have something to ask you." Old Mao said directly: "Bring me five sets of "Zhu Xian", three sets of "Nirvana in Fire" and "Nirvana in Fire". "Ghost Blowing Lamp" I also want three sets. I have a customer here who has paid a deposit and wants it this afternoon. Can you deliver it to me before one o'clock? "

To Lao Mao, this little thing was just a nod. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't call the newspaper office, he wouldn't have bothered Editor Wang.

But what made Lao Mao feel wrong was that after he finished speaking, Editor Wang over there did not answer immediately.

"Old Cat, are you saying you want "Zhu Xian", "Nirvana in Fire" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?"

"That's right, five, three, three, just send it to me with this number."

"Old cat, this is difficult to handle."

Hearing this made Old Mao feel a little cold. It was just a few sets of books, so why was it so difficult? I usually think that Editor Wang is very easy to get along with. He wouldn't be willing to help after asking for such a small favor, would he?

"Old Mao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but our magazine has no stock of these three sets of books now, they have all been ordered."

"Editor Wang, are you lying to me? These are old books from a few years ago." Lao Mao didn't believe it and asked.

"Old Cat, don't you know? The only teacher who wrote these books is actually Nie Wei. This was exposed on the blog last night. Because these books were written by Nie Wei, they became popular again. Bookstores are ordering it.”

Editor Wang's insider exposure made Lao Mao dumbfounded. Is Nie Wei the only one? Would this information be so exciting? But what made him feel more heartbroken was the few bills in his hand. The deposit was attached and the contract was signed. If he couldn't get the book out this afternoon, he would have to pay double the deposit.

"Editor Wang, can't you really give me a few copies? My brother has already collected the deposit and signed the contract. If I don't have the book, I'll have to pay to my death." Old Mao begged.

"I'll try my best to give you two sets, and you can figure out the rest by yourself."

"Thank you very much. I'll ask you to come back later."

After hanging up the phone, Lao Mao quickly called other familiar bookstores. As a result, after more than ten calls, a set of Zhuxian was ordered, and the rest of the bookstores were also bought. This gave Lao Mao an illusion that he was there again. Back a few years ago, when the only teacher distributed new books, it was really hard to find them.

Knowing that the bookstore would no longer exist, Lao Mao called several of his book friends and finally collected enough money before one o'clock in the afternoon. However, he could not make much profit from this business. After all, he also bought it at a premium. .

There are many bookstore owners like Lao Mao, but they were all caught off guard. They never expected that this kind of old book would sell so well.

Under the premise that demand exceeds supply, bookstore owners went crazy and called publishing houses one after another to stock up.

The publisher did not expect that the orders would appear in front of them so suddenly. They were all old books from a few years ago. Clearing all the inventory at once would not satisfy the bookstores across the country. The publisher could only launch an emergency plan and contact the printing factory to reprint these sets of books.

"Nie Wei, your three sets of books are selling very well. According to this sales volume, you will definitely be in the top three of the writer sales list this week." Liu Yuan, general manager of Kyoto Culture Publishing House, reported the good news to Nie Wei on the phone.

"Don't print too much. I guess everyone is just enthusiastic for a while." Nie Wei was not dazzled by the excellent sales performance in front of him. He knew very well that this was just a burst of enthusiasm from fans and would not last long. After all, these old books can now be searched on the Internet. When the fans' enthusiasm is exhausted, the sales will naturally drop.

"I understand. I have added 10,000 sets of my three books in total, which will definitely be digested." Liu Yuan replied with a smile, and then asked Nie Wei when he would return to Kyoto. He wanted to treat Nie Wei to a meal.

Nie Wei told him that he was filming in Taiwan and was really not free for a while, but he remembered this meal and would find a chance to ask his old friend to treat him when he returned to Kyoto.

The two hung up the phone with laughter, and soon someone called again.

This time it was Shu Chang who called to ask Nie Wei how things were going. Nie Wei comforted her that everything was fine and there was nothing to worry about.

Shu Chang was relieved, but did not hang up the phone. It was not easy to get a call, so of course she had to have a good chat.

While chatting, Shu Chang suddenly talked about an interesting thing.

"Remember your junior sister Shishi?" Shu Chang asked with a smile on the other end of the phone. Nie Wei replied that of course he remembered. They had dinner together last week. Shu Chang told Nie Wei that today Lin Shishi ran to his lounge with a large cardboard box and asked him to do something.

"What's the matter?" Nie Wei was curious. Lin Shishi rarely bothered others on weekdays.

"Books, all of them are your books, from "Ghost Blowing Light" to "Zhu Xian", and even the collector's edition of "Nirvana in Fire", begging me to ask you for an autograph." Shu Chang said with a smile, saying that when Lin Shishi begged him, her little face was rosy, not to mention how cute she was, and when she mentioned Nie Wei, her eyes were full of stars, obviously she is a fan of your books.

Nie Wei listened and suddenly remembered that when he was doing a radio program, he really received a hotline call from Lin Shishi.

"It seems that she is really a fan of your books." Shu Chang was a little surprised to hear Nie Wei say this, this matter is really quite predestined.

"So will you sign or not?"

"Sign, but I have to wait until I go back, how can I sign in Taiwan." Nie Wei replied, thinking that if they met at that time, it would be considered as a formal "recognition" with Lin Shishi in another identity, but I don't know if this girl still remembers the radio connection.

At the end of the call, Shu Chang reminded Nie Wei of things he needed to pay attention to in life, and told Nie Wei that it would rain in Taiwan in a few days, so he should remember to prepare thicker clothes.

The girl's words seemed a bit nagging, but Nie Wei liked to listen to them. This kind of concern made Nie Wei very happy. This was the warmth that only family could have. Although he had not yet received the certificate, Shu Chang was already his confirmed wife in Nie Wei's heart.

After hanging up the phone, Nie Wei took advantage of the morning break to read the domestic news.

As expected, after the news broke that Wei Yi was himself, after a night of fermentation, the headlines of today's entertainment newspapers were all about this news.

"Shocking! Nie Wei is the writer Wei Yi!"

"A multifaceted life, Nie Wei's amazing talent has been confirmed again, and the once famous author Wei Yi is his pen name"

"Zhu Xian, Langya Bang, Ghost Blowing Light, who is the author of these books? It turned out to be him! 》

"You will never guess, Nie Wei's mysterious identity is exposed! 》

Many similar headlines have emerged one after another. The question of the only identity was originally a selling point. Many media wanted to dig but could not find a clue. Now they suddenly found it, and the result is so eye-catching. The only one is Nie Wei.

With the halo of Nie Wei being a popular actor, a famous musician, and even a successful entrepreneur, it is hard for this news not to be popular.

Today is definitely a day worth celebrating for mainland entertainment newspapers and magazines. The news that Nie Wei is the only one instantly sold out these newspapers.

What Nie Wei finds interesting is that since his identity was exposed, a petition has appeared below the hot topics of the blog.

It is said that he hopes to make the three novels he wrote into movies or TV series.

"Brother Nie Wei, I want to watch Langya Bang, I want to see you play Mei Changsu!"

"I thought there was no hope of seeing these three novels adapted into movies or TV series in this life, but now there is hope, and it is a great hope. Nie Wei can't just watch such good works buried forever, turn them into TV series, we will definitely support it!"

"Nie Wei, you must adapt "Zhu Xian" into a TV series, you must revive Bi Yao, thousands of people write blood petitions to revive Bi Yao, Bi Yao fans send the topic to the hot search, let Nie Wei see our request."

The fans are really enthusiastic. In less than half a day, the number of discussions on this topic has exceeded 100,000. It is really a petition of 10,000 people, which shows that these three books really have a lot of fans supporting them.

Nie Wei agrees with these petitions. When he wrote these books, he naturally believed in the value of these books and wanted to maximize the value of these books, so filming TV series or even movies is also in Nie Wei's consideration.

In addition to the above two, Nie Wei is also preparing to adapt comics, animations, peripherals and even stage plays, striving to maximize the influence of these books.

But this development must also be carried out according to plan.

Take "Zhu Xian" as an example. This novel must at least wait until the technology of Lei Ting Special Effects Company is in place, otherwise the effect of the filming will not meet expectations. Nie Wei thinks it is better not to shoot.

The same is true for "Ghost Blowing Light". The Nine-story Demon Tower, the Jingjue Ancient City, the Kunlun Palace, etc. in it also need special effects support. There are many other reasons. At least in the past two years, Nie Wei is not going to have any thoughts on these three books in film and television.

Nie Wei's filming in Taiwan is very smooth, and in the mainland, "My Love from the Star" is also facing the end.

At this time, the average ratings of this TV series have exceeded nine points, and the highest ratings are more than fifteen points. It can be said that the whole country is watching this idol drama, especially among teenagers. Cheng Kun and Fan Binbin have become the most popular combination.

But what makes Cheng Kun feel amused is that, whether in private or on the show, everyone starts to call him Professor Lin, while Cheng Kun, the name that truly belongs to him, is not called anymore. Although this makes Cheng Kun a little depressed, he also understands that this is a phenomenon that can only occur when a role is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Just like when Zhou Runfa played SH Beach, everyone also called him Xu Wenqiang, and when "Legend of the New White Snake" was popular, Zhao Yazhi was also called White Snake by everyone. Being called the name of the character in the play means that the character is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it is also a compliment.

Fan Binbin also has such "trouble".

If this is a kind of helpless and happy trouble, then the increase in the value of the two is real happiness.

In fact, since the broadcast of "My Love from the Star", the value of the two has changed every day. The ratings of the TV series have been rising steadily, and the influence has been growing. As the leading actors, their value is naturally getting higher and higher.

When Fan Binbin took on this TV series, the income from the entire series was only one million, and this was before tax. After deducting all kinds of taxes, only half of it was in his hands. But now, if you want to find Fan Binbin to shoot a TV series, you have to pay at least 100,000 per episode to be considered sincere. At this price, you still have to queue up, because I don’t have time. Fan Binbin has received 20 or 30 scripts now, and all of them are for the heroine, and all of them are well-invested crews.

As the biggest highlight of the whole show, Cheng Kun. Naturally, his net worth is higher.

Thanks to Qiu Ye Liang Yue, 0773 for the reward support.
