178 [Juvenile Book Weekly]
After Zhang Wanjun published this prose article in "Literary World", it only took a few days, which not only attracted the attention of countless romance readers in Hong Kong, but also martial arts readers.
The audience of the book "Condor" in Hong Kong is very large, as long as people who have read martial arts, there is no one who does not read this book.
As the discussion gradually started, not only among readers, but also many writers in Hong Kong praised Zhang Wanjun as a "talented woman" in newspapers and weekly magazines, which also triggered many people's reinterpretation of "The Condor".
A writer wrote in the newspaper: "... People are just moved by the unswerving love between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in the book, but no one has ever set their eyes on the many female characters who "met Yang Guo for life".
In terms of "lifelong mistakes", there are the dead grandson Lucao, Lu Wushuang, Cheng Ying and Guo Xiang, who have never married, and Ye Luyan and Wan Yanping, who have retreated to the second.
Without exception, these women all have this or that emotion for Yang Guo, even if it is Guo Fu who cut off one of Yang Guo's hands, the man in her heart must be the most memorable and obsessed with her, and Yang Guo is none other than ......"
...
Hong Kong, Kowloon Shing Tak Secondary School.
Zhang Wanting went to school in the classroom as usual, but before she could sit down, she was pulled by a few friends.
The long-haired girl said happily: "Wanting, come and take a look." ”
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wanting walked over curiously, seeing that she was holding a magazine in her hand.
Someone said: "There is a writer whose name is like yours, only one word missing, and she writes it well." ”
Zhang Wanting picked up the magazine in surprise, it was the weekly magazine of "Literary World", according to the words of a friend, flipped through one of the pages, and when she saw the author's signature "Zhang Wanjun", she couldn't help but smile and said: "It's very similar, just one word, Wanjun Wanting, hehe......"
The long-haired girl looked at it and said, "Look at this article, she writes it well." ”
"Uh-huh, don't worry, I'll take a look. Zhang Wanting nodded and began to read the article slowly.
This article is only more than 1,000 words, and Zhang Wanting finished reading it quickly, but she has refused to let go of her hand holding the book and immersed herself in the beautiful words in the article.
"I was not born, and I was old. ”
“… It's like fireworks when I was sixteen years old. ”
“… I like you, and you happen to like me. ”
The text of the whole article is full of beauty, which makes Zhang Wanting fall into it and can't let go for a long time.
Until the long-haired girl smiled and said, "Wanting, Wanting has come back to her senses!"
Zhang Wanting came back to her senses and hurriedly said: "This is so beautiful, why haven't I heard of Zhang Wanjun? Is it a new female writer?"
Friend: "No, she has written books in the literary world, you turn to page 17 yourself, it is the book she wrote, the writing is also very good, and it seems that there is a new book published recently, we are going to buy it after school." ”
"I'll go too!" Zhang Wanting hurriedly said.
...
Wait until school ends.
Zhang Wanting hurriedly went to the nearest bookstore with her friends to buy Zhang Wanjun's new book.
After buying "Autumn Fairy Tale", Zhang Wanting was about to leave home to read the book when she was suddenly attracted by the shouts of friends.
She leaned in and saw a friend holding a magazine.
Zhang Wanting curiously picked up the same magazine and read it, the article that caused her friends to shout was written by a writer named Lin Yanni.
"Meeting a very charming, haunting one's own soul, is a lifelong comfort, but not to get him, is a lifelong regret, except for Wushan is not a cloud, no one is better than him, but he can never belong to himself, that can only hold his memory for a lifetime!
Someone who haunts my dreams!
Zhang Wanting couldn't help but think of the photo of Huo Yaowen on "Sweet Honey", even if more than half a year has passed, she still can't forget that smile, the first thing she does when she returns home every day is to turn the last page of the book, look at the charming smiling man on it, and be intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.
......
Because of Zhang Wanjun's essay, not only has Hong Kong's revival of "Condor", but also her new book "Autumn Fairy Tale", the sales in Hong Kong are also increasing.
From not being able to sell 1,000 copies in the first few days, to now selling almost a few thousand copies a day, in just half a month, the book "Autumn" has sold more than 70,000 copies in Hong Kong.
Taiwan's Aoki Publishing House also received the good news from Yao Wenjie for the first time, and published Zhang Wanjun's article and Jin Yong and others' praise for Zhang Wanjun in Taiwan's newspapers.
"Condor" has more readers in Taiwan than in Hong Kong, so when they saw Jin Yong praising Zhang Wanjun's "talent in Yongxu", they bought this "Autumn Fairy Tale" out of curiosity.
It had already sold more than 30,000 copies, but when there was not much market, because of this incident, "Autumn Fairy Tale" directly exploded in Taiwan, and more than 60,000 copies were sold again.
Especially when Huo Yaowen asked someone to write the word "pure love" in the newspaper.
Newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong and Taiwan have called Zhang Wanjun a "talented girl", but they also put the title of "pure love writer" on her.
......
Yaowen Book Publishing Company.
Yao Wenjie laughed and said, "Chairman, you are still a step ahead!"
Huo Yaowen looked at the sales table in his hand and smiled happily.
"Autumn Fairy Tales" sold more than 70,000 copies in Hong Kong in a month and a half, and more than 60,000 copies of them soared in the last half month.
It was even more exaggerated in Taiwan, where it took more than a month to sell 30,000 copies, but after Zhang Wanjun's article and the praise of many celebrities were published in Taiwan's newspapers, it only took about 10 days to sell more than 60,000 copies.
Now in Hong Kong and Taiwan, this book has sold a total of 170,000 copies, and it can already be called a best-selling female author, except for Qiong Yao and Yan Qin, there is no female writer who can sell more than 150,000 copies of a book.
Although Zhang Wanjun won this honor after publicity and planning, Huo Yaowen was not reassured, thought about it and said: "Compared with romance, Pure Avenues does not have much market now, and it can have such sales, which can be regarded as overdrawing the follow-up potential of this book." ”
"The chairman is right. ”
Yao Wenjie nodded approvingly and said: "Now the sales of "Autumn Fairy Tale" are declining sharply every day, and the printing house has stopped printing this book, where is there still more than 7,000 copies in stock in the warehouse, and when these books are sold out, it will almost reach the limit of the potential of this book." ”
As soon as he heard about the printing house, Huo Yaowen asked curiously: "How many copies of my "1999" have been printed now?"
"Twenty thousand copies. Yao Wenjie replied.
Huo Yaowen asked, "How many copies do the people in the marketing department think should be printed?"
Yao Wenjie hesitated for a few seconds and said: "The people in the marketing department believe that although the science fiction book market in Hong Kong is not small, your book is not very suitable for the current Hong Kong science fiction market, so I only gave a suggestion to print 50,000 copies. ”
"I know that I didn't think about the Hong Kong market when I first wrote "1999", 50,000 copies is 50,000 copies, and I will start distributing it as soon as I have it in stock. ”
When he first wrote "1999", Huo Yaowen went to the American market, whether it was the dialogue of the characters in the book or the description of the scene, they were all biased towards the American style.
Even if it is translated into Chinese, to some extent, it is still impossible to restore it to the greatest extent, unless Huo Yaowen, the author, rewrites it himself, otherwise, the translator will never be able to translate what Huo Yaowen wants to express.
Yao Wenjie responded: "Okay chairman, I will arrange the publicity work of "1999" as soon as possible. ”
"Hmm. ”
Huo Yaowen opened the briefcase, took out a stack of documents inside, handed it to Yao Wenjie and said: "Last time you told me about starting a magazine, I thought about it after I went back and formulated a set of plans. I think the positioning of the magazine is mainly for teenagers, similar to the literary world, but it is different. ”
Yao Wenjie took the document, looked at the title written on it, and said in surprise: "Juvenile Book Weekly?"
Huo Yaowen nodded: "Well, the Youth Weekly, mainly from fourteen to twenty-four years old. ”
