Chapter 431 The Autumn Exhibition is coming again(1/2)
(The Autumn Exhibition is coming soon, the title is wrong...)
The rest of the trip went very smoothly.
Jiang Qi and his party traveled all the way down according to the travel plan they made before. When they arrived, they visited tourist attractions, got in the car and played board games. The journey was a colorful one.
Even at the end of the game, it was clear that the journey was over. Everyone was still a little bit unfinished, so they delayed it for a day and went to the No. 1 script killing shop on Jinling Dianping software to buy a book that was said to be a hit recently.
While typing the notebooks, Jiang Qi discovered that the DM who brought them the notebooks had a colorful string tied on his hand.
Not to mention, it all depends on the support of peers.
I just don’t know whether this colleague supports the amusement park or the original script killing shop.
On October 13, Jiang Qi, Jiang Cha and Principal Peggy took the high-speed train to Peking with their suitcases.
Jiang Cha has illusions, and Principal Peggy has identification. It is more convenient for Jiang Qi to travel with these two. He does not need to rent a car or book a B&B, which can save a lot of trouble.
Jiang Qi was a day late, but JC arrived on time on October 12th.
For this autumn exhibition, a total of 7 people from JC came, including Jiang Jun, Cao Luoping, Li Liang and four key employees of the store. As a small publisher in a small city, the configuration of so many people is a super luxurious lineup.
Not to mention anything else, seven days, seven people's travel expenses, food, and accommodation are a lot of expenses. If Jiang Jun hadn't been extremely confident in the two tasks this time, he firmly believed that he would be rich overnight after the Autumn Exhibition.
Rich, take the full payment of the wedding room. Otherwise, with this lineup and the early investment, if this autumn exhibition loses all its money, JC can close its doors directly after the autumn exhibition.
I'm afraid I can only get the full payment for the wedding house in my dreams.
Jiang Jun and Li Liang came to the train station to pick up Jiang Qi and the others.
For the convenience of communication, both parties stayed in the same hotel. Jiang Qi had already said on the phone that he would bring two people with him this time, but Jiang Jun did not ask specifically which two people they were.
In Jiang Jun's opinion, Jiang Qi most likely brought Liu Lan and the DM from the script killing shop.
When the contract was signed, the division of labor between the two parties and the Autumn Exhibition had been clearly defined. JC was responsible for all the tedious matters, whether it was "Murder at the Class Reunion" or "Meet Again", the book layout and publicity were all handled by JC, and Jiang Qi
We are not responsible for these drudgery tasks here.
Being a bookkeeper at the Autumn Exhibition is definitely a hard job. Even if the hotel room is an executive suite, the space will be tight if more than a dozen people squeeze into it.
The small room is even worse. There is no room for chairs. The only book Jiang Qi went to the Autumn Exhibition to play last time was in the small room. The players sat on the bed and read the book on the carpet. DMs were not even allowed to sit on the carpet.
Can squat in the corner.
As much as you want to feel aggrieved, as much as you want.
There are only seven days in total for the Autumn Exhibition. Costs are placed here. Whether it is a large publisher or a small publisher, they hope to maximize profits. Stores that buy books may go to three shows a day, starting in the afternoon and selling books until dawn the next day.
, is it not the same for the issuance of the first edition, it is normal to open three shows a day.
If it weren't for physical conditions, publishers would have loved to have four games a day, running 24 hours a day, to earn back the room fees.
Jiang Qi didn't mean to make money by selling his books. He came here mainly to sell table games. To be honest, selling table games was not for money, but for the promotion of the Magic Academy campus. Naturally, this kind of hard work can be avoided if possible.
Anyway, according to the contract, all costs and early publicity expenses are shared equally between Galaxy Script Agency and JC. The money for ticket issuance, hotel accommodation, and even DM’s meal money are all included in these expenses.
Jiang Qi came with three people and JC came with seven people. Judging from the money, JC had the advantage. What Jiang Qi didn't know was that even if he didn't ask JC's people to help with the "Class Reunion Murders", Cao Luoping would take the initiative.
Please take a tassel.
Cao Luoping, a veteran script writer, absolutely loves this book. If it weren't for the mystery, Cao Luoping would have posted 10 posts a day on WeChat Moments to praise this book.
It can be expected that by the time the Autumn Exhibition is over, all the friends on the JC customer service account will be "Class Reunion Murders".
The train station was bustling with people, but the sharp-eyed Jiang Jun still caught sight of Jiang Qi and the other three who had just left the station, and waved excitedly.
"Boss Jiang, long time no see. Did your outing to the amusement park go well?" Jiang Jun enthusiastically took the suitcase from Jiang Qi's hand with a very natural movement. When Jiang Qi wanted to take it back, Jiang Jun turned around nimbly.
blocked.
"Director Jiang, next...good afternoon." Compared to the flexible and natural Jiang Jun, Li Liang's attentiveness seemed a bit like a loser. He stared at the suitcase in Jiang Cha's hand and stuttered a bit when he spoke.
"I...let me help you get the suitcase." Li Liang took the suitcase very unnaturally.
Jiang Cha, on the other hand, was very natural, smiled faintly, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, I feel a little dizzy after riding the train all the way."
"Yes, I feel dizzy after sitting on a train for a long time." Li Liang agreed.
Jiang Jun looked behind to find the third person in Jiang Qi's team. It wasn't that she couldn't see Principal Peggy, but it was because a foreigner of Principal Peggy's age didn't look like he was here to participate in the autumn exhibition.
The script-writing industry is definitely an industry for young people. After all, only young people can stay up all night like this. Middle-aged people who stay up late every day may have long ago developed high blood pressure and died of a heart attack.
It was already an anecdote in the industry that Old John was working as a DM in Xinghe News Agency before. However, Jiang Qi gave Old John the title of a university teacher, engaged in art, and looked for inspiration, so everyone could reluctantly accept it.
After the search was fruitless, Jiang Jun was able to confirm that Principal Peggy came with Jiang Qi.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Jun." Jiang Jun took the initiative to say hello and took the small suitcase from Principal Peggy's hand.
"I heard from the boss that my name is Peggy, and I am the person in charge of the research and development of this board game project. Originally, I, an old foreign lady, should not be allowed to come to the Autumn Exhibition, but I am the only one in our team who knows every board game, and
I was a businessman in the early years and had a sharp tongue, so I was sent here." Principal Peggy smiled kindly, "Everyone calls me Principal Peggy as a joke on weekdays, you can call me that too."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You speak Mandarin so well!" Jiang Jun sincerely praised.
"School... principal?" Li Liang was a little surprised, "Have you ever been a principal?"
Peggy smiled and said: "Once you play the series of board games developed by our team, you will know why everyone calls me Principal Peggy."
Li Liang nodded as if he understood.
Li Liang took Principal Peggy's small suitcase from Jiang Jun and walked at the back. Jiang Qi and Jiang Jun walked at the front. Jiang Cha and Principal Peggy, who had never been to the train station, walked in the middle and silently looked around.
Principal Peggy smelled the freshly baked bread in a small bakery that bought traditional bread, the so-called ancient bread, and bought a bag to try it.
Li Liang, who was traveling alone and had to carry his luggage with both hands, held a small piece of bread in each hand and ate while waiting in line for a taxi.
"This time the organizer gave us a particularly good promotional space to place banners and posters, which is in the exhibition hall on the first floor. However, the main poster can only be placed for "The Class Reunion Murders", and the posters for "Meet Again" and board games can only be placed
Squeeze and hang on the edge."
"but……"
Jiang Qi noticed Jiang Jun's hesitation and asked, "What happened?"
"Lao Cao and I didn't know until we arrived at the exhibition hotel that the poster booth next to ours was a poster booth issued by one of the organizers, and the suite between our two suites was also a suite issued by this company."
Jiang Qi didn't think there was anything wrong. He thought it was pretty good. They were all sponsors, and they must be well-known big publishers. The rooms and publicity spaces they occupied were naturally the best. Their rooms and publicity spaces were next to each other.
Yes, it shows that the organizer this time has provided a particularly good position for Galaxy Script Club and JC.
"What's this?" Jiang Qi asked.
"Originally it was nothing, but this publisher is the publisher that the person Lao Cao contacted before worked for. Last night Lao Cao and I invited several publishers from the organizer to have dinner. The person had a cold face the whole time. It seemed that he was offended.
"
"Offended?" Jiang Qi reacted immediately after saying this, "The one who takes 20% of the profits to commit fraud?"
Jiang Jun's expression was quite awkward at first, but when Jiang Qi said this, he stopped laughing and started laughing.
"Boss Jiang, you can just say this in private, but don't say it outside. Otherwise, we will only offend him a little. If that person finds out what you said, we will be offended to death."
Jiang Qi nodded, of course he knew, mainly because when he thought of this person, he felt that the other person was a fraud, and he suddenly didn't say what was in his heart.
"I don't understand. Didn't you just consult him but didn't talk about it in the end? Why did you offend him?" Jiang Qi looked puzzled.
What kind of crime is this?
If this can offend the other party, then the other party will have too many enemies written down in the small notebook, and even one small notebook may not be able to write them down.
Jiang Jun smiled bitterly: "I blame Lao Cao for not asking for information clearly. He..."
Just as he was talking, the car came.
There were 5 people in Jiang Qi's side, and there was not enough room for one car. He and Jiang Jun were in one car just chatting, and the remaining three were in the next car.
After getting on the bus, Jiang Jun continued: "He can be regarded as an old man in the industry. He was indeed at the top of the pyramid in the past few years. But in the past two years, haven't there been many people entering the industry? He has a good vision and discovered the issuance industry as early as the year before last.
It's better to redistribute them than to make money by opening a store. Once there are more scripts on the market, their business will be slightly less popular."
"This guy did write a few good books in the past two years. If he had made this request the year before last, Lao Cao and I might have gritted our teeth and agreed. But now..."
Jiang Qi continued: "It's not worth the price."
Jiang Jun smiled and acquiesced: "Lao Cao mentioned this matter to him first, and then cooperated with you, Boss Jiang. He may think that Lao Cao and I look down on him and don't give him face, and he also has something new this autumn exhibition.
This year's surprise release was originally his new book, but wasn't "Class Reunion Murder" jointly produced by Galaxy Script Studio and Card Game Studio?"
"Card Game Studio has only been selling copies in the WeChat mini program in the past few years. The copies sold are all at sky-high prices. Except for Mr. Jiang, basically no store dares to buy them. This time you two jointly publish a copy, and it is still a cheap box.
It’s also the first show, so the Autumn Exhibition will naturally increase publicity.”
"It is said that...it was originally going to focus on promoting his new book, but now it has been changed to "Murder at the Class Reunion". "Meet Again" is a joint production of our two families, so the person naturally saw that there was something wrong with Lao Cao and me.
It’s pleasing to the eye.”
Although the Galaxy Script Society itself did not conduct any publicity for this autumn exhibition, nor did it post on WeChat Moments or use other means to indicate that new books would be on display at the autumn exhibition this year, the organizers of the autumn exhibition took the time to promote it vigorously.
The production method takes a mysterious route.
Super well-known store cooperates with mysterious publishing, mysterious new edition, quality assurance, so stay tuned.
Despite the publicity, as long as there is some relationship with the store, who doesn't know that this super famous store is the Galaxy Script Club.
Isn’t Jiang Qi’s crazy likes enough to explain everything?
