…
When the subway whizzed by, Yan Liwei sat on a chair with a magazine and read calmly, turning a deaf ear to the station announcements that kept ringing in his ears, and had no idea which station he was sitting on.
Who doesn't know that in May, after "Science Fiction World" got Lin Han's short story "Chao Wen Dao", it swept away the haze of the past year or two, and its sales increased by nearly seven to eight times.
Children's Day has just ended, and Yan Liwei once again pretended to be a child celebrating the festival. He stood outside the yellow line of the subway waiting for the bus with a copy of the newly released "Fantasy Age".
"Why is there the word June on the cover today? Could it be that there is also the word June on it?"
At the same time, these works can get more readers' attention in "Fantasy Age", which is very helpful whether it is for publication or adaptation!
Lin Han's "2001: A Space Odyssey" is the catalyst and sales guarantee. Now the editors in the magazine are ready, so there is no need to worry about the work!
Things got so heated that Tan Lin was willing to take the blame because "Fantasy Age" is now seeking development.
…
Yan Liwei muttered to himself. He turned to the first page of the magazine and saw the official announcement printed on it.
"A money tree, a money tree, Lin Han is really a real money tree."
Step by step, no one could have imagined that the magazine that was once suspended would now be getting better and better!
The actions of "Fantasy Age" actually caused conflicts among competitors. This was probably something that no one expected!
In fact, writers serialize their novels in a magazine just for money and fame.
Advertising revenue alone is likely to exceed 100 million this year, not to mention magazine sales. The development of Fantasy Era is so dazzling that people secretly marvel at it. This is a complete business miracle!
Nowadays, many magazines do not make money by selling magazines. Even "Fantasy Age" can sell three million copies a month, but after excluding various expenses, it can barely break even. The real profit comes from advertising. Advertisements placed by merchants!
A bimonthly magazine means that it can place two batches of advertisements a month and can also accept more advertisers.
In the Science Fiction World magazine, Zhang Zhenfeng's tone was a bit sour. It was clear that the situation was the other way around. His magazine was in full swing and Fantasy World was in a state of suspension.
In fact, after Tan Lin read Lin Han's "2001: A Space Odyssey", he put forward the plan. When discussing it in the editorial department, almost no one objected.
Wu Juncheng and Zhang Zhenfeng were like mice when they saw a cat. They immediately shrank, lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
Editor-in-chief Zhou Yonghao walked over with a livid face. He scolded: "Are you two talking like this? You curse back and forth in the office during working hours, and shit comes out. The other magazines do what they do, and we do what we do. Yes, what do you have to say? Listen to me, both of you. Next time you let me hear a quarrel in the office, both of you will pack up and leave. This will happen to reduce the salary of two people. I say what I say! "
"enough!"
Not every writer can earn US$100 million in royalties like Lin Han every year. Many of them actually rely on royalties to survive.
I believe those advertisers are not fools. With Lin Han’s support, there is almost no chance of this bimonthly publication being sold out!
Short stories have such a strong impact, let alone novels related to space. Tan Lin hummed a tune and already thought about how much to increase the advertising price!
Zhang Zhenfeng is not a leading cadre. Although he has a background and background, Wu Juncheng also has it. He has been dissatisfied with Zhang Zhenfeng for a long time. He has no ability and does not do things, but he still likes to engage in office fighting, which makes it a mess.
Many magazines like "Fantasy Age" are monthly, but he feels that the conditions are basically ripe now to become a semi-monthly magazine.
Even after Fantasy Times spread the news, some merchants who had never cooperated with it came to inquire, and the price kept rising.
Another editor leaned lazily on the back of his chair and said, "What's so strange about this? It's not a secret that Lin Han is a shareholder of Fantasy Era. He doesn't hand over Space Odyssey to Fantasy Era. Can you still leave it to us?”
Now Li Wenyuan is probably laughing his head off at home. Back then, he was called a takeover man by industry insiders. He bought the discontinued "Fantasy Age" with enthusiasm. Everyone thought he was going to lose all his money, but now he has I was severely slapped in the face by reality.
…
Last month, the revenue from product placement in "Age of Fantasy" was approximately RMB 3.8 million, and this month, thanks to the doubled advertising space and price increase, the advertising revenue reached RMB 9.2 million!
But now that June is here, without the blessing of Lin Han's new book, it has been beaten back to its original shape, and there is no trace of it on the sales list.
Those merchants have definitely spent a lot of money. Now the popularity of Fantasy Era has almost topped the list of periodicals and magazines. It could have sold three million copies. With Lin Han's magic weapon, it has exceeded five million. Registering does not seem to be difficult.
Many excellent novels were postponed issue after issue like this, which made Tan Lin feel a little worried.
Now that the sales volume of "Fantasy Age" has increased significantly, and it is favored by advertisers, the magazine will naturally be much more generous when it has money. It is absolutely unambiguous in terms of royalties, and the prices offered are basically at the top level in the industry.
Anyway, we had money back then, so why not invest more!
Tan Lin couldn't help but sigh. This year's operating income will definitely be very impressive, and maybe the follow-up plans can also start slowly.
Tan Lin found it a bit incredible to earn so much advertising revenue in a month. This was too much money.
But I don’t know when the situation on both sides was reversed. Fantasy Times became a semi-monthly magazine and developed better and better!
The magazine bought with millions of yuan now earns more than 100 million yuan in advertising revenue alone every year. The return on investment is simply sky-high!
The change from monthly to semi-monthly was very smooth, and what was even smoother was the re-negotiation with advertisers. The staff directly took out Lin Han's name and said that Lin Han would serialize six new issues of the book in "The Age of Fantasy". Those The merchants hardly made any bargaining behavior, and all of them paid for the advertising space very generously!
"If I am a rat dung, you are an elephant dung. Is it because of me that the sales of our co-authored magazine are getting lower and lower? If you have the ability, you can do the same as Chen Chuhe and support Lin Han. If you can support him, I will You can kneel down and sing "Conquer". It's a pity that you don't have the strength or the luck, so you can only watch others... "
"Dear readers and friends, due to the recent increase in the number of submissions to this magazine and the continuous expansion of the magazine's influence, the monthly publication cycle can no longer meet the submission and publishing needs of the majority of authors. After research by the editorial department, it is now approved by the Beijing Municipal Government The Bureau of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television has approved that "Fantasy Age" will be changed from monthly to semi-monthly starting from June 2018, with a total of 24 issues throughout the year, each issue being no less than 100 pages. At the same time, Lin Han's latest masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey" will be published in June It will be published in the June second issue of "Fantasy Age" in the middle of this month, so stay tuned!"
"Tan Lin is really a good person. He can get such good resources. Their performance in the second half of the year will definitely soar."
The monthly sales volume is stable at more than three million copies. There are many works that I want to publish in each issue. However, due to the limited space, the number of pages keeps increasing, but still not all works can be published!
Now at least there is something to read in the second half of the month, not to mention that you can also see Lin Han's new works in mid-June. The physical book will not be released until July or August, but the specific content will only be available in "Fantasy Age" in another week. 》Check it out above, what’s the reason not to buy it
Yan Liwei used to read books in the first half of the month. He read the entire month's magazine content in the first ten days, and then he kept waiting and waiting for next month's magazine!
Lin Han didn't expect that his initial investment and 20% of the shares would bring him so much income. Now he regrets it.
From a monthly to a semi-monthly publication, the biggest benefit for the magazine is that it can make more money.
Wu Juncheng has been an editor in the science fiction world for more than 20 years. He is not a good gentleman like Chen Chuhe. "It's none of your business. Zhang Zhenfeng, you are like a mouse in the editorial department. You have ruined our entire life." Damn it! I just said something and you climaxed? You’re just a mad dog, biting anyone you meet.”
Zhang Zhenfeng seemed to have eaten dynamite and ignited at random, "Old Wu, what do you mean? Our science fiction world is no worse than Fantasy Era. Are you going to do what Chen Chuhe did and jump to Fantasy Era?"
Therefore, platforms with high royalties and good reputations are very popular. Nowadays, the competition in "Fantasy Age" is very high. As long as it can be published in this magazine, it will then receive applications for reprinting from a series of other magazines. The society will take the initiative to contact you!
Originally, Tan Lin had always wanted to start this project, but he was afraid that the gain would outweigh the loss. But now that everyone knows that Lin Han's new book will be serialized in their magazine, let's push it out while the iron is hot.
"It's long overdue for a revision. It's not enough to publish this book every month." Yan Liwei couldn't help but laugh. He only spent an extra five or six yuan every month, which was not a big figure.
But for people like him who like to read, it is excellent news. He is worried that there is a shortage of books every month.
This data has also allowed Fantasy Times to surpass many established media in one fell swoop, such as Fashion Beauty, Ruili Fashion, World Fashion Garden, Harper's Bazaar, Finance, Fortune Chinese Edition, Sanlian Life Weekly, China Business Weekly and many other magazines in a single month. Advertising revenue can’t even sell it for so much money!
