Zhang Chu got up early in the morning, the network in the old house was quite smooth, he sat under the jujube tree in the yard blowing the morning breeze, and connected his mobile phone to wireless.

As a human being in two lives, this work is still the first time in his life that it has been published, and he can't wait to see the paper version soon.

It's just that it's good to look at the electronic version now, Zhang Chu logged in to his account and spent 2.99 yuan to buy this issue of "Time Reasoning" magazine.

The magazine in front of me did not rank high in the official bookstore of Huawei mobile phones, and it took several pages to refresh it by sliding down the rankings to find its ranking.

"This cover has a lot of feelings, but unfortunately it's not my novel. ”

Zhang Chu can be regarded as contributing a little sales to himself, he clicked on the purchased and downloaded e-book, and after finding the catalog, he found that his "Sherlock" was actually ranked on the first page!

Writing a novel and reading a novel are two completely different experiences, and at this time, Zhang Chu treats himself completely as a reader, reading it slowly little by little.

"Did I really write this? I wrote it so well?"

There are two different kinds of writers in the world, and when they look back at their work, one of them thinks that they wrote so badly that they might as well write it all over again, and the other is that they marvel that they wrote so well that they can't write the same thing anyway.

Zhang Chu is actually still a little unconfident, and most of the first chapter of "Sherlock" is actually his own work, which is realized by describing and adapting the TV series.

The system only helped him to check the BBC TV series all the time, and did not give him the words and sentences, nor did he generate his own novels.

Just as Zhang Chu was sitting on the rattan chair and thinking, Zhang Bowen also rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out.

Zhang Bowen yawned and asked, "Don't sleep so early?"

"You can't sleep. I just looked at it on the Internet, and people said that your novel was written in a very ordinary way. ”

Today is the day when the magazine "Time Reasoning" is listed, and both father and son are very concerned, and neither of them wants to receive bad reviews.

After hearing his son's words, Zhang Bowen was not surprised, but sneered, "I checked the Internet before I came out, and there are not many people talking about it on the entire Internet, don't try to lie to me." ”

Zhang Chu has always been happy to talk back to his father, and he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Okay, it turns out that you are also a modern person." ”

Unlike the rest of the works that participated in the Sherlock Holmes fandom contest, both Sherlock and Basic Deduction have a tendency to develop into longer forms, and it is not enough to write a chapter or a single story.

If the word-of-mouth response on the reader's side is not good, it will definitely affect the perception of the Reasoning Magazine, not to mention whether the follow-up content can be published, and even whether it can continue to be serialized is a problem!

With his thoughts on his mind, neither father nor son could sleep, and now they sat in the courtyard with big eyes and small eyes.

"You said that the magazine started selling out today, but no one commented. Whether it's good or bad, I don't know at all. Zhang Bowen was very worried, and he also planned to forward the electronic version of the magazine link to the circle of friends, but he didn't dare to act rashly at this time.

In case the evaluation is not good, reposting it will only make those people see the joke.

Zhang Chu refreshed the comment area of the official bookstore on his mobile phone, which was still bare at this time, so he comforted and said: "It's still early, who would get the magazine so early, and leave a comment after reading it." Maybe there will be a lot of comments at noon, or let's go out for a walk?"

It's not a thing to keep holding your phone to refresh, it's good to go out for a walk and divert your attention.

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

When Zhang Chu's father and son were walking slowly in the fields outside Longsha Town, facing the rising sun, the staff of the editorial department of Time Reasoning had already started to clock in one after another.

Liu Qiao came very early today, only after eight o'clock turned on her computer, monitoring the relevant data in real time, she didn't know whether the large-scale propaganda a few days ago was useless.

"Sister Liu, you came so early. ”

Wan Yuan drank the last sip of soy milk in the cup, he deliberately came over half an hour early, but he didn't expect someone to start working.

"I woke up very early today, and I was fine anyway, just to avoid the rush hour of the subway. Liu Qiao said without looking back, she was checking the relevant sales.

Except for the kind of readers who subscribe to the whole year in one go, and then subtract the readers who previously booked the July issue on the official website or the official store of Tianmao and Dangdang, the number of new additions on the Internet is actually not much.

It's selling well in the bookstores of Huawei, Google Store, and Apple Store, and in addition, the years of reasoning also have their own mobile phone APP, but it's very simple.

Although Amazon has entered China, the e-reader Kindle is the dominant one and has a very large market share, but this is obviously a little unsuitable for China's national conditions.

Many people are accustomed to reading directly with their mobile phones, and they don't need to carry a reader like Kindle, even if the price of the reader is very affordable, but consumers think that it is not convenient to carry a product specifically for reading, so Amazon's e-book downloads are actually quite limited.

There are a large number of readers in China, and the number of users who use digital reading has reached 300 million or 400 million, most of whom use mobile phones to read.

Among the many mobile apps that can download magazines and e-books, the stores that come with various mobile phones are obviously the ones with the highest sales.

For example, Apple's ibook, Xiaomi Bookstore that comes with Xiaomi mobile phones, in addition to Huawei Reading, Samsung Reading, and the contract machines of the three major operators include Mobile, Unicom, Telecom Tianyi Bookstore, etc.

In addition, Douban Reading and Duokan Reading, two paid book download giants, as well as places such as QQ Book City and Zhangyue Book City, all provide download services.

So this sales volume is quite complicated to calculate, there are too many channels!

Nowadays, periodicals and magazines are not just simply subscribed through postal services and sold at the curbside, and paid downloads have become the norm online.

It is impossible for the other party's sales figures to be known to the magazine immediately, and only by waiting for the corresponding staff to transmit the data.

However, judging from the current data on my side, the sales volume has increased significantly compared with before, especially the Internet search volume is not the same!

"It seems that the attraction of the top student in the college entrance examination is still quite large, and the number of searches for Detective Sherlock has exceeded 800,000 times, if only so many searches could turn into sales. ”

Liu Qiao also knew that he was wishful thinking, and if "Sherlock" did not charge, it should not be difficult for the number of clicks to read more than one million.

But as long as it comes to money, many people who watch the excitement will retreat, not that they are stingy, but the problem of consumption view, feeling that an article is not worth the money.
