Five days later.

With the end of the first wave of Random House's propaganda offensive.

Some well-known book critics also stood up at the right time and said something specious.

In particular, in Wang Gradual's previous work "I Am the Great Mage", various unreasonable places were repeatedly elaborated.

And try to use words to imply the "Arcane Throne".

This directly led to the sales of this novel, which began to fall off a cliff.

Of course, Random House's marketing department has also started a series of measures.

Through Tom, they contacted Wang.

And inform that follow-up marketing plans such as book signings and TV show interviews will also be launched immediately.

And Wang Yan, who put down the phone, looked at Jack Dorsey, who had been fighting for two days.

After hesitating, he signed a check and handed it over.

Anyway, because the Internet hardware giant Cisco, it is trying to implement the behavior of exchanging market share at a low price.

This small website, which currently belongs to Wang Jian's personal person, does not cost much.

Dorsey took the check, pointed to the computer screen as if offering a treasure, and said, "Look at this layout, this page, it's no worse than the forum of the Ivy League League." ”

"It's a user registration system. Once you've registered, you'll be able to jump directly to the page you saw last time, so you don't have to work hard to find it. ”

"And the next thing I'm going to do is make a small program. ”

"On forums where some fantasy literature lovers gather, some advertising messages are posted regularly. so that they can be attracted to our website. ”

Wang gradually walked into the computer and looked at the content of "Arcane Throne" posted on the website.

It is the protagonist who pretends to be a big X with scientific knowledge.

And, stuck in the place where everyone is about to marvel, and the villain thinks that the protagonist is a very powerful magician.

He couldn't help but nod.

Then, Wang gradually turned his head to look at Dorsey and asked, "There is a user message, what should I do after the spoiler?"

Dorsey shook his head and said, "There is no particularly good way for the time being, so I can only manually enter the background and delete it." ”

Wang gradually thought about it, and felt that Duoxi, who majored in computer science, couldn't handle it, and he couldn't do it anymore.

He asked, "So what kind of advertising message are you going to post?"

Dorsey looked at Wang Jian with a smile and said, "It's up to you, the best-selling author." ”

Wang gradually thought for a moment, and with the idea of "it is better to steal than to steal, it is better to steal than to steal", and typed a line of words on the keyboard.

"Bonus: Someone posted the first half of the now-popular Arcane Throne online, at xxx. Note: Don't spread the word about !!"

Then, pointing his finger at the computer screen, he said, "This 'Don't Spread' font is one size larger, and then make it red." ”

Dorsey looked at Wang gradually a little dumbfounded.

then

Haha laughed.

Wang Yan also touched his nose and laughed.

And just like that, he watched as Dorsey entered forums that discussed comics and Dungeons & Dragons, and posted commercials.

Just refresh the page in Doshi to see how well the ad works.

An announcement caught Wang's attention.

He motioned for Dorsey to pause.

Then, I read the announcement carefully.

I saw that the announcement read: Due to the surge in the popularity of fantasy literature in the first half of this year, the newly established Bantam Publishing House has obtained the first volume of the famous screenwriter George R.R. Martin's new work "A Song of Ice and Fire", "Game of Thrones", with a record $800,000 guaranteed royalty and 20% royalty.

And "Game of Thrones" will also be officially released in the United States from the second half of next year to three days later.

And then there's this George Martin literary and screenplay work.

Wang gradually frowned, turned his head and asked Dorsey, "Is this George Martin very strong?"

"Very strong. Dorsey nodded and said: "His "Doomsday Song" was very well received back then, and as a screenwriter, "Yin and Yang Demon World" is even more exciting to his new work. ”

"Anyway, I'm going to buy a copy of this Game of Thrones. ”

Wang gradually shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

Another formidable opponent has emerged.

I just don't know how the quality of "Game of Thrones" compares to "Arcane Throne".

"Forget it," said the king, shaking off the thought in his head, and turning to Dorsey, "you go on." ”

Then, he picked up the phone and called Tom.

Invite him over and discuss the next book signings, TV shows and other things with him.

About half an hour later.

"You don't need to think about what you wear, what you move, whatever. Tom held the itinerary provided by Random House and said angrily, "It's the NYU signing in six days, and you'll be with George Martin." ”

"This must be the old Jack guy's doing, only he has the motive and the power. ”

Tom's fairly handsome face was distorted.

Wang Yan also frowned and asked, "Is there no way to avoid it?"

"Nope. Tom shook his head dejectedly and said, "In this regard, we can only listen to the arrangement of the publishing house." ”

Wang gradually sighed.

Forget it, forget it.

It's a big deal...

Since I saw the content of the book "Arcane Throne", I have been mentally prepared.

I just hope that the next book in my mind is a novel like "I Am an Archmage", which has a wide audience.

"Come and see. Suddenly, Dorsey's excited voice came into his ears, "There are already some people who have entered our website." ”

Wang gradually and Tom looked at each other, and the two walked to the computer screen together.

Dorsey muttered as he looked at the website's backend, "New York, California, Washington." ”

"Hah, there's even a UK IP address. ”

Wang gradually asked, "How many people are there?"

Dorsey glanced at the screen and said, "There are 190 people at the moment, and 163 people are browsing." ”

"It's working out great. ”

Wang gradually shook his head secretly.

163 people, too few people.

How can we attract more people to watch?

And at this time, inside the office of the New York Times's bestseller list.

A very powerful middle-aged man was reprimanding a group of employees, saying, "That newly opened website called Cadabra actually has a book purchase list? Although it is only technical, but what about the future?"

"And you, still advertise it?"

"Are you all pigs? With that chart, what do you want our bestseller list for?"

"What we're going to do now is, fight it. At the very least, let it cancel the book purchase list!"

And a young white subordinate, looking at the angry boss, said a little fearfully: "Then we... The copyright of their online books can be questioned. ”

"As far as I know, this site includes a lot of works whose authors have passed away, but whose copyrights have not expired. ”

"Let the public have a bad impression of them first?"
