God Descends the Second Element

After the data from Dengeki Bunko was compiled, the news was quickly sent to Wang Hao.

When Wang Hao, who returned to Qiushui Villa, received the text message and saw the gorgeous sales, his eyes immediately turned into the shape of money, and he began to rapidly calculate in his brain.

Sales volume is 130,000, and the first batch of Five Centimeters Per Second is sold in single volumes, which means that the price in Japan is 2,000 yen, 130,000 × 2,000 yen, and the final answer is 260 million yen! That is to say, the sales of the single volume successfully exceeded 100 million on the first day of its release in five seconds! !

Of course, this does not mean that all the money goes to Wang Hao. His royalties account for 11% of sales, and the royalties in his hands are finally converted to a total of 28.6 million yen!

After deducting the taxes that need to be paid, the final amount in his bank account is nearly 26 million, which is undoubtedly a huge amount for Wang Hao today! !

And you must know that this is only the first day of the release of the single volume of Five Centimeters Per Second, but I didn’t expect that the sales volume would explode on the first day alone. In Wang Hao’s original expectation, the sales volume of this book on the first day would be four Around 50,000 is considered pretty good. I didn’t expect the data to explode like this.

And after all 130,000 copies were sold out on the first day, Dengeki Bunko has decided to print an additional 200,000 copies.

In other words, in addition to the 130,000 copies that have been sold, he can also get the money for printing an additional 200,000 copies. The 200,000 copies in his hands will be about 40 million yen, which means that he will get 200,000 more copies today. The royalties are approximately 66 million yen! ! !

"I'm not still dreaming, am I?"

Feeling this sudden happiness, Wang Hao couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pull his face. When he felt the pain, he grinned, keeping a dull smile on his face: "Now I can finally understand why a certain person has no moral integrity. The guy was able to buy a big house with his royalties..."

It’s great to have money. At this time, Wang Hao’s heart was full of emotion. Although the money would soon disappear from his hands, after all, the development of Fusichuan Library and Station B still requires a lot of funds, but this does not hinder Wang Hao. The happy mood at this time.

Of course, the reason why Second Five sold 330,000 copies and earned 66 million yen in royalties is also related to the fact that the work itself is a single volume, because relatively speaking, the price of a single volume is much higher than that of ordinary libraries. The copy is much higher, so it can be sold for 2,000 yen per copy.

There is a reason why sales are booming, because Second Five is different from other light novels. It was first uploaded directly to the newly created website by Wang Hao as a web article. After a long period of fermentation, many people are familiar with it. This work.

The price of a general light novel library is about 500 to 600 yen, and a single volume is much more expensive. However, it is a bit difficult to publish a light novel as a stand-alone book.

How difficult is it? Wang Hao still remembers that in his previous life, in his memory, only the famous Monogatari series among light novels enjoyed the treatment of being published as a single volume. Other light novels did not have this treatment at all.

Even Sword Art Online, which is very popular in light novels, has always only enjoyed the treatment of Bunko. This shows how difficult it is for light novels to be published and enjoy the treatment of stand-alone books.

Of course, this does not mean that Second Five can beat Sword Art Online, but because the two are essentially different.

Swords can be regarded as light novels through and through, and the publication of light novels is equal to the library version. This has almost become an iron rule in the industry, unless there is another genius like Nishio Ishin.

In fact, the reason why "Monogatari Series" can enjoy the treatment of stand-alone novels is because of the special nature of the work. Strictly speaking, "Monogatari Series" is not considered a light novel.

The definition of light novels is divided into three categories: first, they are novels that can be read easily; novels contain many illustrations of cute girls; they are generally cheap and have ordinary paper.

However, the text of the "Monogatari Series" itself is difficult to read, and it is not easy to read at all. There are basically no illustrations in it.

Moreover, in the previous life, the "Monogatari Series" was still published by Kodansha. Generally speaking, in the eyes of the public, Kodansha's works are not considered light novels at all.

There are many other reasons, which I won’t go into in detail here. However, Nishio Ishin also mentioned that he does not mind the Monogatari series being regarded as a light novel. Generally speaking, the Monogatari series is a controversial work.

Five Centimeters Per Second can enjoy the treatment of a single book. To a large extent, it has the same features as the Monogatari series. Many people think of it as traditional literature, while others think of it as a light novel.

But in Wang Hao's view, Five Centimeters per Second is more biased toward traditional literature. He doesn't believe that readers can still laugh after reading Five Centimeters Per Second.

But now the definition of light novels is really confusing, and everyone’s point of view is different. Even in the previous life, the new works of the great writer Haruki Murakami were still classified as light novels.

He couldn't figure it out even if he insisted on discussing it, so he didn't pay much attention to it. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

Wang Hao suddenly had a ridiculous premonition, thinking that the popularity of Five Seconds had just begun...

"In any case, the economic crisis we are facing has been temporarily lifted. However, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!"

Wang Hao walked slowly to the balcony with a rippling smile on his face, looked into the distance, and took a deep breath.

The blue sky, the warm sunshine, the white clouds, it turns out that the world is so beautiful. All these made Wang Hao very interested in poetry. Just when he was about to recite a few lines of poetry, his thoughts were immediately interrupted by the ringtone of his cell phone in his pocket. break.

Wang Hao had no choice but to take out his mobile phone from his pocket, reach out and click on the connection: "Ayano-san, what's wrong? Is there anything important?"

As soon as he answered the call, Ayano Iida said in a slightly lower voice: "I'm here to inform you of something very important. You should be free tomorrow morning, right?"

"Well, I'm free, what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao frowned slightly. Although the two were communicating on the phone, he could hear the anxiety and nervousness in Iida Ayano's tone. Even though he was still a little confused about the situation, he still realized it. The seriousness of the problem.

"Um……"

Hearing Wang Hao's question, Iida Ayano's eyes began to hesitate again, and she fell into a rare silence. Wang Hao did not speak at this time, but just waited for the other party quietly.

Although Iida Ayano is usually a little unruly, she is still very reliable at critical moments, and she is always full of energy. She rarely stays silent like this, which means that something is wrong after all.

The two have been getting along for a while, and Wang Hao can probably figure out the problem now, but he just wants to wait for Ayano Iida's answer...
