The Sketch about a concern to creative people
In the evenings, Sergei Sergeyevich drank tea. Times are hard now. Thrift is useful.
Instead of sugar, Sergei Sergeyevich was turning on a radio receiver and was listening to sweet stories about a concern to a creative people.
These are very nice stories. But it is necessary to increase the percentage of sweetness ... A much greater speed, a jump are needed.
How to achieve this?
It is necessary to strengthen an affectionate tone and beautiful names with a digits.
With which a digits?
Suppose we take the literary sphere for consideration.
What a digits can illustrate a concern to a creative people?
If to take as a basis the number of published books ... But a significant percentage of these books is producing in literary factories. There are those that are an intellectual trash. Many are boring and only a claqueurs' actions are supporting their public reputation ...
Of course, everyone has the right to publish everything they want (ideally) - by virtue of the principles of freedom of expression (a freedom of speech) and a freedom of the press.
One could divide the total circulation of published books by the number of them (published books) ...
But what is the circulation to take into account?
The circulation of electronic books? - this is a "conditional" value, volume ...
The circulation of paper books? There used to be a problem - somewhere in the southern regions in the "left" uncontrolled printing houses a paper circulation was printed (what percentage of the 'national' circulation?). The circulation imperceptibly printed in the southern regions was delivering to bookstores and was selling out unnoticed.
The authors were told that their books were not popular. Due to the lack of demand, a publishing of their books in large print runs is not advisable. So, their (authors') fee was either absent or amounted a kopeks.
And a hidden money from a hidden sales of hidden circulations was shared imperceptibly ... (from the authors, including).
Now the situation is different, but there is no trust in circulation indicators.
There is no trust either in the number of published books or in the circulation figures.
What remains?
There is the notion of 'royalties', 'fee', "honorarium". Corresponding revenues are placed separately in tax legislation. Independent tax rates have been established for these revenues. This type of revenues is officially considered separately.
With all the nuances ... it's useful to look at the figures [digits] for the period from 1989 to 2019 (indicators for the results of each year):
1) the amount of royalties paid
2) the number of persons who received such remuneration.
Later you can to divide (calculate averages), to multiply, etc.
Sergei Sergeyevich look at a cup of tea. It will be wonderful to increase the percentage of a sweetness ...
Need a much greater speed! A jump!
A great care for creative people is taken place!
