Chapter 35 Computers

Just when Wang gradually discussed the next publicity strategy with Tom.

"Arcane Throne" has also spread slightly among many fans of fantasy novels.

But due to Wang Gradual's previous work, "I Am the Archmage" is completely out of the circle.

These fantasy lovers do not particularly believe that his second work, "Arcane Throne", will be a serious fantasy work.

Plus, Arcane Throne sells for a whopping $40.

So, most of these people have a wait-and-see attitude.

And this is the same as the sales analysis report held by Wang Gradually.

The iron and black fans of "I Am an Archmage" are the main buyers of "Arcane Throne".

Neutral people have no desire to buy for the time being.

Wang gradually looked at the analysis report in his hand and asked Tom, "Do these lovers of traditional fantasy literature have any common characteristics?"

"Neazy, unsociable, no girlfriend?" replied Tom, shrugging his shoulders, "I think it's the kind of person who was bullied at school in middle school." ”

"I mean, common features in life. Wang gradually tapped his finger on the analysis report and asked, "What do they like to do in their spare time, besides reading fantasy novels?"

Tom pondered for a moment and said, "Playing computer games, visiting comic stores, playing board games, watching Star Wars?"

"After all, there is a high degree of overlap between these people and NERD, and there are very few social activities. ”

"What did you just say?" Wang gradually felt as if a thought had flashed through his head, and hurriedly asked again.

"There's very little social activity?" said Tom, confused.

"No, I said what they usually do. Wang asked eagerly.

"Playing computer games, reading comics," Tom said confusedly.

Wang gradually stopped Tom with a gesture.

At this moment, in his mind, he seems to recall the appearance of sitting in front of the computer in his previous life, frantically refreshing the page, and muttering "why haven't you updated" in his mouth.

"Computer games, computers, surfing the Internet?" he muttered.

Suddenly, he looked at Tom and said, "Immediately accompany me to the computer store and buy a computer." ”

"Uh, you know computers, right?"

"A little bit of it. Tom asked, a little confused, "What do you buy a computer for?" Aren't you more used to writing manuscripts by hand?"

"Leave it alone. Wang gradually got up, put on his coat, and said, "Hurry up, next, we have to open the network service." ”

Wang gradually dragged Tom out of the apartment and got into his utility car.

And at this moment, Roy was holding the "Arcane Throne" in his hand and reading it secretly, while secretly commenting.

The writing technique, world setting, and power system have made great strides compared to the previous novel.

This book is no longer a novel that needs accidents to become popular.

It could even become a classic, like The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

He thought about it, but he was still going to find a few book reviewers.

Those book reviewers often accept gifts from major publishers to tout certain novels.

This time, it's time for them to belittle Arcane Throne.

And he had the same idea, as well as the old Jack of Random House.

Old Jack thought about it all night, and felt that "Arcane Throne" was not like "I Am an Archmage".

With a $40 price tag, the main sales target is middle-income earners.

And what are the disadvantages of middle-income earners?

Their biggest flaw is that they worship authority!

Every year, most of the books on autobiographies and success studies of so many celebrities are bought by these people.

And find a few publishers to pick it up, seemingly authoritative book reviewers.

Let them say something negative about Arcane Throne, and it might work wonders!

As for it, are you afraid that others will find out that you are doing ghosts?

Old Jack said: Not afraid at all!

Because, these book reviewers eat entirely on what seems to be an "impartial and objective" image.

Revealing the truth hurts them far more than they do themselves.

When Old Jack came to the home of a famous book reviewer, he seemed to see the back of the new editor-in-chief of Scholastic Publishing House.

It was this person who made "I Am the Great Mage" successfully published, and almost ruined his reputation as a gold medal editor.

He spat at the other person's back, and then walked into the book reviewer's home.

But when the book reviewer saw that the person who came was the old Jack of Random House, his brows furrowed.

He said to Old Jack: "Your publisher's "Arcane Throne" is not a qualified work, and I don't like it very much. ”

"If you're here to chat and catch up, then I'm welcome. If it's for Arcane Throne, don't open your mouth. ”

As he spoke, he fumbled for the thick envelope in his pocket.

Old Jack smiled "hehe", took out a check, and handed it over.

Then, he said: "With this attitude, in the newspapers, the more you criticize the Arcane Throne, the better." ”

The book reviewer was stunned for a moment, looked up at Old Jack, and asked, "Isn't that book from your publishing house?"

Old Jack smiled and said, "You don't care about this, you just scold, the more you scold, the better!"

The afterglow of the sunset, shining on the faces of the two people who were smiling at this moment, had a trace of hideous taste.

But under the same sunset, Jack Dorsey in the New York University dormitory found it extremely difficult.

After three hours of debating with Arcane fans online, he finally got tired.

So, while eating, he picked up the novel again and began to read it three times.

He still muttered: "There is only one volume, and I don't know when the next volume will come out." It's a hard day. ”

But at this moment, the target of these people, Wang Jian and Tom, were watching several workers install computers and pull network cables.

Wait until everything is installed and debugged.

Wang gradually sat down in his chair and asked Tom, "The electronic rights to Arcane Throne were not sold to Random House, right?"

Tom shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the listing of Netscape this year, Wall Street would have been crazy about the concept of the Internet, and the publishing house would not have such a thing as electronic copyright." ”

"Now there is, and only one website that is said to have opened a new one comes to buy it. ”

"And you offered not to sell the electronic copyright to Random House, and they didn't force it. ”

"But why do you ask this?" said Tom, puzzled.

Wang gradually took out the commemorative edition of the author of "Arcane Throne".

I looked up the forums of the Ivy League again, and laughed Tom said: "Write a third of the "Arcane Throne" on the Internet. ”

"I just want to see if they will watch the free Arcane Throne. ”

"And after looking at half of it, will they buy it. ”

Wang gradually typed in the URL as he turned back to Tom and smiled.
