Chapter 52: Bad News for Gao Zhuo
This whole day, Liu Zixia lived a very fulfilling time.
As soon as Yueyue arrived at the playground, she went crazy, and except for a few things that couldn't be played by children, almost all the rides were played.
In the evening, Liu Zixia received a call from Wang Xiaotong that "The Story of Good Night in the Moon" was ready to print 1 million copies, and it is expected to be on sale in three days.
The next day, Liu Zixia had just come to the company, and Gao Zhuo, the editor-in-chief of Yihua Publishing House, called.
"Brother Liu, there's something I need to tell you!" Gao Zhuo's voice was a little solemn.
"Brother Gao, I haven't had time to wish you a good sale of fairy tales!" Liu Zixia picked up the phone, first said a few polite words, and then joked, "You won't tell me that it will be on sale today, right?"
"Brother Liu, the release time remains the same. Gao Zhuo said in a deep voice: "I have an important matter to find you, do you know Wutong Publishing House?"
Wutong Publishing House is one of the top publishing houses in the whole north, which is a step ahead of Yihua Publishing House, and it mainly focuses on children's books, comics and entertainment books.
In terms of children's books alone, Wutong Publishing House is the number one publishing house in the entire Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
"Yes. Liu Zixia nodded, "What's wrong with Wutong Publishing House?"
Gao Zhuo said abruptly: "Do you remember why bother books that I asked Xiaotong to find? Before, his fairy tales have always been signed by our publishing house." Now, he has switched to Wutong Publishing House, and also posted on Weibo that in two days, he will sell his new fairy tale collection "The Hamster Tale" in major bookstores. β
"Two days later, isn't it the day our fairy tale will be released?" Liu Zixia thought for a while and said, "Is this planning to play against us?"
"He must have thought so. Gao Zhuo smiled bitterly, "Although we have done a lot of publicity before, why bother is a famous fairy tale author in the circle, his Weibo, coupled with the forwards and replies of the authors of the Jinghua Writers Association, our publicity is tantamount to doing it in vain." β
Gao Zhuo's words make some sense, no matter how you say it, He Bishu is also a senior in the industry, and he entered the Jinghua Writers Association and even the Huaxia Writers Association early, and has enough resources and contacts in the circle.
People are more willing to buy a collection of fairy tales written by a familiar fairy tale author than a newcomer fairy tale author who has never heard of it.
"Brother Liu, otherwise, you can push your own fairy tale book on Weibo, right?" Just when Liu Zixia was stunned, Gao Zhuo suddenly spoke.
Liu Zixia is not only a fairy tale author, he is also the hottest singer nowadays!
Today, Lu Zixia's Weibo fans have risen to 5.9 million, such a huge fan base, coupled with the reprints of his big V bloggers, is simply crushing He Bishu and his friends in the writers' association.
To be honest, Liu Zixia had a momentary heartbeat, but he was quickly suppressed by him.
He has just emerged in the entertainment industry, and if he goes to the literary circle again, I am afraid that many people will say that he is not doing his job.
It's better to keep a low profile, lewd and trivial, don't wave!
Besides, gold always shines, and mules come out to slip away.
After being silent for a while, Liu Zixia said: "Brother Gao, I definitely won't do it myself......"
"Brother Liu, even if the elder brother begs you!"
Gao Zhuo, who was rejected, almost cried, "Don't you know, we have already booked 400,000 copies, but because of why bother books, 300,000 copies were forcibly returned by various bookstores." β
"So many?" Liu Zixia frowned, "In other words, we still have 900,000 copies in our hands now?"
Gao Zhuo sighed and said, "Yes, I'm not worried that these books won't sell, mainly because they are squeezed by Wutong Publishing House and He Bishu like this, it's so aggrieved!"
Even a person as elegant as Gao Zhuo began to burst into foul language, which shows how angry he was in his heart.
Liu Zixia really wanted to help him, after all, the sales share of "Yueyue's Goodnight Story" had a part of him, and he was now beginning to deny the previous idea of lewd development.
Suddenly, Liu Zixia had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Brother Gao, have you ever considered online sales?"
"Online sales?" Gao Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, "Hang on the Internet, how many books can you sell?"
It's no wonder that Gao Zhuo was stunned, although there are similar Taobao and Jingdong in this world...... and other online shopping platforms, but these online shopping platforms are selling some snacks, daily necessities, and electrical appliances...... As for books, reading materials and other paper things, there are really few that are sold.
Because instead of buying books and reading materials on online shopping platforms, it is better to read them directly on the website, which is inseparable from the Internet anyway, and in the eyes of consumers, there is no difference.
"It can be sold, and we only target those readers and retail investors!"
Liu Zixia said categorically, "In this way, you can contact Jingtao.com, discuss with them, and open a separate flagship store of Yihua Publishing House on the website." β
Jingtao.com is the world's largest online shopping platform, with customers covering the whole of China.
"Flagship store?" Gao Zhuo couldn't understand this new word.
The term flagship store comes from the name of the brand center store in a big city in Europe and the United States, in fact, it is a city center store or a regional center store, which is generally a store with the largest scale, the most complete similar products and the most luxurious decoration of a certain business or brand in a prosperous area of a certain region.
In this world, the concept of a flagship store has not yet been produced.
Liu Zixia came back to his senses and explained to Gao Zhuo.
"Oh, this flagship store is quite interesting. Gao Zhuo said as if he didn't understand, "That's it, I'll get this matter done today, but I still suggest that you promote it over there." β
"You can rest assured, I will find someone to help promote it when the time comes, and when you get the flagship store of Jingtao, just send me a link, I will be useful." β
Liu Zixia explained two more sentences and hung up the phone.
......
At eight o'clock in the evening, first-line singer Chen Yijie posted a Weibo:
"Recently, my friend Xia Yue created a few fairy tales, and I came to share them.
Once upon a time there was a lovely little girl who liked everyone who saw her, but the one who liked her the most was her grandmother, who simply gave her whatever she wanted. Once, my grandmother gave the little girl a little red riding hood made of velvet, which was just right to wear on her head. From then on, the girl did not want to wear any other hat, so everyone called her 'Little Red Riding Hood'......"
Little Red Riding Hood!
Yes, this fairy tale was given to Chen Yijie by Liu Zixia.
According to his usual style of acting, why should you be unkind, then don't blame me for being ruthless!
If you look for your friends in the writers' association to promote, then I will go to my friends in the entertainment industry, and Chen Yijie, who is the same company and his nominal 'mentor', naturally became the first choice.
Chen Yijie has 20 million fans, and after this Weibo was sent, it was quickly reposted and replied to.
"I'm going, I'm fascinated, and suddenly it's gone, how can I be embarrassed?"
"Jie Baobao, please tell me who Xia Yue is, I'm going to flesh him, find him and ask for a whole fairy tale!"
"Compared with this "Little Red Riding Hood", those popular fairy tales are scum at all......"
Chen Yijie's fans and celebrity friends are all reposting Weibo, and they strongly condemned Chen Yijie, asking him to hand over the entire fairy tale.
And at this moment, on the ninth floor of Wenxing Building, in Yijie's studio.
"Zixia, do you think this will work?" Chen Yijie sat in front of the computer, looking at the reply under Weibo, with a wry smile on his face.
"Brother Yijie, it will definitely work. Liu Zixia sat next to Chen Yijie with Yueyue in her arms, "This half of "Little Red Riding Hood" is enough to cause hot spots. β
"You're bad enough. Chen Yijie refreshed the Weibo interface, "When your fairy tale collection is a big hit, I will be scolded by fans." β
"No way, who called Brother Yijie a senior brother!" Liu Zixia showed an expression of asking for a lot of blessings.
"You kid!" Chen Yijie scolded with a smile, "If Brother Xing hadn't told me that you were a newly signed artist of the company, would you still be planning to hide it from me?"
"I didn't hide it from you. Liu Zixia shook his head innocently, "Who told you not to ask?"
"Yes, it's still mine!" Chen Yijie couldn't say Liu Zixia, "What should I do next?"
Liu Zixia smiled: "Send another Weibo ......"
......
Just when Chen Yijie's fans and friends were discussing, another Weibo appeared:
"Fairy tale newcomer Xia Yue's masterpiece "Yueyue's Good Night Story", there are "Little Red Riding Hood", "The Ugly Duckling", and "Mermaid...... There's a fairy tale you've never seen before, it's a new visual creation, are you ready?
One day later, "The Good Night Story of Yueyue" will be sold in major bookstores, and at the same time, it will be sold online on Jingtao.com and the flagship store of Yihua Publishing House, with limited quantities on a first-come, first-served basis, with a link to the flagship store attached!"
All the fans who saw this Weibo only now understood that Chen Yijie was advertising!
But this advertisement is worth playing, fairy tales like "Little Red Riding Hood" are not only educational for children, but even adults benefit a lot.
"Yihua Publishing House's flagship store? "Yueyue's Goodnight Story" can still be bought on Jingtao?"
"Quick, go to Jingtao and have a look. β
"Look at the fart, don't you see Yijie's Weibo that it will be on sale the day after tomorrow. β
Netizens are arguing, whether it is a 'flagship store' or online sales, it makes netizens feel very novel.
In just 13 hours, three hot topics appeared around these two Weibos, #"Yueyue's Good Night Story"#, #η«₯θ―ζ δΊδ½θ ε€ζ#, #"Little Red Riding Hood"#......
