Chapter 104: Crushed
After a while, Dong Xiaoxue heard the two little girls start talking again.
"Hey, Xiaowen, have you finished reading it, let me tell you, the triple door is really good-looking, very humorous, or I'll buy a copy." One is enough, I'll show you after reading it. ”
Which fat girl said that.
The thin girl named Xiaowen didn't answer her, and was still immersed in reading.
Dong Xiaoxue was a little anxious, what's the matter with this fat girl, she didn't compare it, do you want to buy it?
Isn't Yu Wenfei's book good?
Isn't the cover of the book pretty?
Isn't the love in it romantic?
This generation of young people can't do it, there is a problem with aesthetics!
was in a hurry, the mobile phone in her pocket vibrate, Dong Xiaoxue hurriedly walked to the stairwell to answer the phone, and the conversation between the two girls behind was not heard.
"Hey, why are you so fascinated?" the fat girl nudged her.
Xiaowen raised his head in amazement, "What's wrong?"
The fat girl said dissatisfiedly: "I said that the triple door is very beautiful, I plan to buy a copy!"
Xiaowen closed the book in his hand, held it to his chest, and showed a sweet smile on his face, "Then you buy it, I want to buy this!"
"Is that pretty?" asked the fat girl
"It's not just good-looking! I've just watched a small part, but I'm already in love with Yu Wenfei! If only my boyfriend could find someone like Yu Wenfei in the future." As she spoke, little stars appeared in the eyes of the thin girl Xiaowen.
"Isn't Yu Wenfei the author?"
The fat girl asked in surprise.
"The Yu Wenfei I am talking about is the main character in the book, of course, the same name as the author. Xiaowen emphasized.
"Hehe, this Yuwenfei is so narcissistic, he uses his name as the hero. ”
"No, this is self-confidence, it is estimated that in reality, Yu Wenfei is also as handsome, gentle and talented as the male protagonist in the book. The heroine in the book is so lucky, it is ...... to have a boy like Yu Wenfei who loves her so much It's so happy!" Xiaowen defended Yu Wenfei.
This succeeded in getting the attention of the fat girl.
Although "Triple Gate" is written with humor and the writing is concise and spicy, for girls, it is obvious that sweet love attracts them more.
The fat girl also leaned her head over, and after the two read a few pages together, the fat girl slapped her thigh, "Buy......!
When Dong Xiaoxue came back after answering the phone, the two girls were gone.
This made Dong Xiaoxue a little regretful, and she didn't see whether the two of them bought "Triple Gate" or "I Love the World, But I Love You More".
Cheering up, Dong Xiaoxue continued to observe the movement in the novel area.
During this period, a group of high school boys came to look for books, and they were immediately attracted by the promotional poster of "Triple Gate".
"Han Han's new book!"
"Is it true? I have seen many great writers commenting on this book in the newspapers, and it is said that it is very well written. ”
"Find a copy and look at it, and if it's really well written, we'll support it. ”
"I must support it, Han Han is our scumbag's idol, haha......"
The group of boys discussed in a whisper, and Dong Xiaoxue was very anxious when they heard it.
She really wanted to go up and tell them that not only Han Han's new book was on the market today, but Yu Wenfei's new book was also on sale.
Moreover, Han Han is only the first prize of the new concept competition, and Yu Wenfei is the special prize, and it is clear which level is higher and which is lower.
Luckily, a boy found out about the problem.
"That Yu Wenfei's new book has to be bought today, right, is this it?"
As he spoke, he picked up a copy of "I Love the World, But I Love You More".
The boy next to him leaned over and took a look, and sneered: "Ha, this book is for girls at first glance, the covers are so girly, suitable for you, you can buy it." ”
The boy with the book hurriedly put it down, as if he would become a sissy after two more glances.
This made Dong Xiaoxue very frustrated, but also, the main target group of this book is little girls, and it is normal for boys not to like to read it.
Dong Xiaoxue can only comfort herself like this.
She stayed here until five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and according to her own records, a total of 126 readers bought "Triple Gate" all day.
That's not a low amount, but it's just a bookstore.
But sales of "I Love the World, But I Love You More" were not encouraging, with only 62 readers buying it.
Dong Xiaoxue was a little frustrated, could it be that she became famous a year earlier and took such a big advantage?
Or is it that the mainstream of the market is still a literary book like "Triple Gate"?
According to Dong Xiaoxue's observation, everyone who buys "Triple Gate", without exception, is very familiar with Han Han. And Yu Wenfei's popularity is still a lot worse in comparison.
There is a shadow in her heart, it seems that things are not going so well, at least in the early stage, "I Love" will be suppressed by "Triple Gate".
However, Dong Xiaoxue still has a trace of fantasy in her psychology, and when she gets the sales statistics of Xinhua Bookstore tomorrow, maybe the sales of "I Love" may exceed that of "Triple Gate".
Because she thought that this was the magic capital, and it was Han Han's base camp!
People here, of course, will be more supportive of local writers.
............
According to Murphy's Law, don't take chances, the more you worry about something, the more it tends to happen.
The next day, Dong Xiaoxue received a fax from Xinhua Bookstore, which was yesterday's sales statistics.
She also specially asked for the sales statistics of "Triple Gate", they were all old acquaintances, and the other party didn't take the shelf, so she passed it over happily.
Dong Xiaoxue skipped the previous large list of sales data of various provinces and regions, and directly turned to the final summary data.
After seeing the two bold data, her heart fell like an ice cellar.
"Triple Gate", the total sales volume of the country, more than 25,000!
"I love this world, but I love you more", the total sales volume of the country, more than 12,000.
In terms of sales, it was more than doubled by its opponents, which was crushed......
Of course, this is only the sales statistics of Xinhua Bookstore, and there are many book wholesale cities and thousands of small bookstores, but that statistics cannot be done so quickly.
The book wholesale city usually only reports sales once a week or so.
However, the sales volume of Xinhua Bookstore basically represents the market trend, and there has been no exception.
So far, Dong Xiaoxue has not deceived herself anymore, the situation is very serious, and what she has to consider is how to quickly save the situation.
The first day of sales was more than 12,000, which looks pretty good.
More than 10,000 a day, isn't that more than 3 million a year, a very dazzling number!
But this is only a very layman's algorithm, in fact, most books, on the first day of release, or the previous month of sales are the highest, and there will be fewer and fewer in the future.
Because people who like to watch it, they basically buy it at the first time, and in the future, it is all by direct word of mouth from readers to attract new readers.
There are also books that became popular in the later period, but there are not many.
Dong Xiaoxue didn't dare to pin her hopes on this.
