Chapter 30: Readers Don't Buy It

On the other hand, another issue of the supernatural world and folk ghost tales was launched.

However, what is surprising is that the sales of this issue of the magazine are not very good, although it still ranks first compared to similar magazines, but it is far from reaching everyone's expected sales.

In the editorial department of folk ghost stories, the editor-in-chief Wan Li looked at the enigmatic sales data and was a little confused.

It stands to reason that this is the second issue of the magazine published by Folk Ghost Tales after the world joined, and under a lot of publicity, the sales of this issue should exceed the sales of the previous issue.

However, in fact, it did not exceed, but compared with before the world came, the sales volume has dropped a lot.

Wan Li and several editors had already met for a meeting just now because of this matter, but they never discussed any results.

"Editor-in-chief, we have letters from readers, and we have received quite a few phone calls from readers. At this time, a new editor pushed the door in.

Wanli was annoyed at this time, the sales volume did not meet expectations, no matter what the reason, he, the editor-in-chief, could not get rid of it, but he swore to the general manager Lin Chuanjian that he had promised it.

"Do you want to tell me about this kind of thing?" Wanli was a little angry.

"It's the editor-in-chief, I just received a call from several readers, and they seem to be a little dissatisfied with our editorial department. ”

"Dissatisfied?"

"Yes, they all said ......" The rookie editor hesitated for a moment and didn't continue.

"If you have something to say, don't talk about it. Wan Li glanced at him.

"They all said that our editorial department has done so much publicity for the world, but the ghost stories written in the world are not good at all, I thought that the world has not started writing for so long, and it may be relatively rusty to write, so it would be good to write a few more.

But the ghost stories written in the world are still ten years ago, so that people can guess the end after watching the beginning, and they have no desire to watch it at all. And the letters from readers, I just read one, also talk about this situation. ”

Hearing this, Wan Li sat up from his chair.

The article published in the last issue of the world is indeed quite average and can be published, but it definitely does not have a feeling of eye-catching.

This is known, but it is enough, because in these days, the celebrity effect is far more valuable than the product.

He thought that even if the ghost stories written in the world were ordinary, but with his reputation as a top supernatural god decades ago, he would still bring unprecedented sales to folk ghost stories, but what he didn't expect was that readers didn't buy it.

The rookie editor put dozens of letters from readers on Wanli's desk, and continued: "These are all letters from readers, and I have read a few of them, most of which belittle the world and our editorial department.

Editor-in-chief, with all due respect, the celebrity effect is no longer feasible, the article in the world, I read it several times from the perspective of a reader, to be honest, the article in the world, it gives me the feeling that it is boring, reading is like chewing wax, this level, it is about 500 words per thousand......"

"It's not up to you to decide how many thousand words are, you're just a rookie editor, now you give me out immediately!"

"Good. The rookie editor smiled and turned to leave.

Although the words were harsh, Wanli still realized the seriousness of the matter.

It was a wrong choice to give the world a high price and persuade the general manager to give him shares.

After reading a few letters from these readers, Wanli couldn't read it anymore, and he sat on the chair as if he was paralyzed.

These letters, without exception, are readers who express their dissatisfaction with folk ghost stories and dissatisfaction with the world.

Even, some readers with a bad temper say that folk ghost stories are cheating money.

What do you say about the top supernatural writers in the world, just this kind of garbage ghost stories are unremarkable, and they will never buy magazines of folk ghost stories in the future.

Wanli doesn't know what to do, after all, the high price to the world, and the shares to the world, are all proposed by him to the general manager, and now the magazine has not reached the expected sales, and the general manager will definitely not be able to explain.

Ringing bell, the mobile phone on the table rang, Wanli came back to his senses, and looked at it to show that it was the phone number of the general manager.

"Hey, Mr. Lin. Wanli took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Wanli, the sales of this issue of the magazine have come out, you can explain it to me!" The general manager's voice was not loud, but his tone was very cold, which made people shudder.

"Mr. Lin, listen to me, this is just an accident, in the next issue, sales will definitely come up. ”

After Wanli swore to the end, he heard a beeping sound from his mobile phone, and he could see that Mr. Lin was very angry about this matter.

At this time, the editor who had dug up the world at that time came, and was about to speak, but when he saw the letters on the table, he changed his words and said, "You know everything?"

"Hmm. Wan Li nodded: "Mr. Lin has called me just now, and he is very dissatisfied with the sales of this issue." ”

"Boss, maybe we made the wrong choice in the first place. ”

The editor organized the language: "It's true that the world is the top writer of the supernatural class, but don't forget that this was ten years ago, the world has been sealed for decades, and the pen power and stories are definitely not as good as before, we just see the fame of the world, but forget the reason why readers are chasing the world, and the world can't write good ghost stories now!"

Wan Li agreed with this sentence very much, and then said: "Your analysis is right, at that time, the supernatural world invited the world to go out of the mountain, and did a lot of publicity for the world, and readers frantically bought the supernatural world as soon as they heard that there were new works in the former world.

Later, the supernatural world was invited by us, and under our publicity, the sales of folk ghost stories also reached a new height, and in these two issues, although the ghost stories in the world are not outstanding, readers are waiting for the world to find their senses and write articles that they once loved to read.

However, in this issue, the world did not write a work that satisfied the readers, which is why our sales have declined, and readers have lost patience with us and the world. ”

"So what do we do next? Do you want to remind the world that readers don't buy his work published in our magazine. ”

"Forget it, let's wait and see, the share transfer contract has not yet been completed, if the next issue, readers are still not satisfied with the works of the world, then I will contact the world personally. ”

"That's all there is to it. ”

Not only the folk ghost stories, but also the supernatural world editorial department has also received a lot of calls and letters from readers.

Almost all of them point to a problem.

I asked an author named March why he didn't continue to publish in the supernatural world, and although the ghost stories he wrote were not scary at all, they were very beautiful.
