It's hard for people who aren't in the book field to understand why a book with 200,000 copies on sale would make major publishing companies boil.

Pre-sales of some best-selling sequels have soared to one million copies, but none of them have been so strong.

When a top student goes from 95 to 98 points, everyone probably has no extra emotions except for a wow of admiration.

But when a scumbag changes from 25 points to 75 points, and completes the qualitative change, people will be amazed by it, and they will be very curious about how it was done, and there will be an invincible turnover!

In the same way, the suspenseful reasoning where "Suspect X" is located is such a scumbag.

In the past, it was clear that it could only sell tens of thousands of copies in pre-sales, but suddenly it became more than 200,000 copies, no less than the explosion of an atomic bomb.

Is this achievement an accident or an inevitability, and is it possible for the rest of the reasoning to replicate the sales miracle of Qin Chuan's book?

Various publishing companies want to research and research.

Although the company is different, the focus of publishing is also different.

Some are good at fantasy, some are good at chicken soup writing, and some are good at romance, but everyone is not willing to stick to the rules, but wants to forge ahead and open up.

Even in their editorial group, everyone is discussing this one.

Li Taoqi of Seagull Publishing House asked: "Do you say that Qin Chuan's "Suspect X" sells well, is it because he writes it well, or is it popular?"

"Personally, I think it's because he's popular. If you ask a best-selling author to write a suspenseful reasoning, the sales will definitely be better than those who originally classified it. ”

I agree with Brother Kai's statement. But I would like to add that it's not the popularity that the readers buy. Many best-selling authors rely on that one book, one series, to make a living, and release a brand new work, and many readers will not buy it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Qin Chuan is very popular, and readers also believe in his writing level, and he will still read it after a 180-degree transformation. If you change your popularity to a writer and suddenly run from fantasy fairy to suspense reasoning, it is estimated that there are a lot of people waiting and watching. ”

"One will make ten thousand bones dry. His book "The Devotion of Suspect X" suddenly became popular, and it is estimated that many people who want to get ahead think that it will be slightly better to be classified as an unpopular. When the time comes, I don't know how many books will turn into a brick under the pyramid. ”

These editors see it clearly.

If Qin Chuan's new book really becomes a classified signboard, it is very likely to become a long-term sales work.

So few works that follow the trend can come forward.

Even if they can see it, they will still cast a wide net.

What if you really catch a work that can be a small fire or even a big fire?

Who can say for sure.

Compared with sales and results, Liu Wei, a veteran editor from Feihong Publishing Company, is more concerned about the plot of Qin Chuan, he used to be an editor of unpopular classifications at the beginning of his career, and now he is finally mixed with history, but his interests and hobbies have not changed.

In fact, Qin Chuan's book is different from traditional reasoning, and there are novelties, which just attracts readers. A lot of reasoning propaganda copywriting is that there was an unsolvable murder case in such and such a place, but Qin Chuan exposed the murderer to readers before he even started. It's innovative, and it's fascinating. ”

Only then did the active members of the group shift their attention from Qin Chuan's popularity to specific works.

None of them had read a single passage of "The Devotion of Suspect X," and even the editors of the open-book publishing company had just gotten their hands on the manuscript, and no one was bubbling at all.

"Yes, it's like a lot of networks, you don't change the soup. On the surface, the form has been innovated, but in fact, the core of the content is no different from the past. But it is very unique and novel in front of readers, not the same as the group of glamorous sluts outside. ”

"Yes, I was also curious about how Qin Chuan's story should be told, where the suspense points are, how to arouse the audience's appetite, and so on. As a result, I thought about it, how did I fall into the net woven by Qin Chuan unconsciously, this thing is really powerful, and the modus operandi has become the biggest doubt in this book. I want to buy a copy to read, but if I don't understand it, I'm really unwilling!"

"Don't forget, Qin Chuan started by playing with emotions. Emotions are a great weapon in Qin Chuanzhong, and maybe this book can be distinguished from the rest of the works. ”

"Many people write reasoning like a science student doing a math problem, typically deducing according to the formula one by one, which seems formatted and cold. Qin Chuan is very good at writing the feelings of the characters, no matter whether this book is abusive or not, you can look forward to it. ”

"I vaguely guessed how Qin Chuan wanted to write. Unlike most guessing who the murderer is, he asks readers to guess what method the protagonist Ishigami used to create an alibi, so as to help his crush create an alibi. ”

"Do you think Qin Chuan's book seems to fit the so-called expectant suspense?" the editor is a part-time film critic, "and his way of writing is a bit similar to the idea put forward by Hitchcock, the master of suspense films." ”

In layman's terms, there are two types of suspense settings, one is sudden suspense, and the other is expectation.

Two people walked into a room and sat down to talk, when a bomb under the table suddenly exploded!

This process provides readers and viewers with surprise, which is called suddenness.

On the other hand, before entering the house, the reader first sees a murderer enter the house and hide the bomb under the table, and then the two men enter the house and do not find the bomb, still sitting down and talking.

Then the process will be very appealing to the reader, who will worry about these two people and will be afraid of the explosion of the bomb.

Obviously, the suspense setting of the latter is a bit more advanced.

Tell the reader about the potential danger at the beginning, so that the reader is worried about what will happen in the next second.

Judging from the pre-sale profile of "Suspect X", it really fits the theory put forward by Hitchcock!

At the beginning, the readers were told the truth about the details of the whole thing, and the readers were always worried about when Shi Hong would be exposed, worried that the police and detectives would find out the truth, and so on.

In the eyes of many editors, since the protagonist is a mathematical genius who has not been met in a century, he must be a high-IQ, ruthless, and elegant social elite, and he has a feeling of Sven scum.

If you see it in the future, it will really be a big surprise!

"Even our old guys can't resist the attraction, let alone the rest of us. ”

"yes, I'm going to buy a few books for the mid-year sale, and I've already added them to my cart. ”

"Do you have any other good books to recommend, I'll buy some books in a few days!"

The editors are also all sentient beings, and it is clear that it will be cheaper for online bookstores to hold big promotions, and no one wants to spend money to buy them in offline bookstores.

Wages are limited, so you can save a little.
