Chapter 760: Anthology
Now Guo Dalu's martial arts "Dragon Babu" is being serialized on the Internet, and its popularity is so high that it is much higher than the scandals of popular stars, and now with Guo Dalu's increasing influence, many people are also very interested in Guo Dalu's, and then slowly become loyal readers of Guo Dalu's martial arts.
Martial arts is a literary form, and there is a sense of speed in reading, and the reading experience is incomparable to other works, and therefore, this kind of work has long broken through the restrictions of age and gender, and readers range from teenage children to seventy or eighty-year-old men, and the audience is incredible.
According to Guo Dalu's consistent marketing method, generally when the work is halfway through the serialization, the physical book has been followed up synchronously, and now "Tianlong Babu" has been serialized with hundreds of thousands of fonts, and book fans are looking forward to the publication of the physical book, so as to read a work quickly and enjoyably, and enjoy the refreshing feeling of reading in one go.
Because when physical books are published, they are often published in sets, which are complete versions, and the serialization on the Internet is later than the publication of physical books.
Therefore, most readers will choose to buy physical books in order to read these stories quickly, anyway, the cost of reading physical books is not much different from the cost of reading virtual books, and sometimes the cost of physical books is even cheaper than reading books online.
But just when the majority of readers were waiting for the physical book of "Dragon Babu", I didn't expect Guo Dalu's physical book to be published, but it was not martial arts, but pure literature!
This makes some readers who like martial arts works lack interest, and many people can't lift their spirits.
"Red Sorghum"? Tsk, is there another book called "White Rice" and another book called "Black Sesame"? This name looks rustic, and just looking at the name reduces the reader's desire to read.
However, since this book can be compared with "The True Story of Ah Q" and "The Old Man and the Sea", it seems that the writing is not necessarily very bad, as fans of books who have always supported Guo Dalu, even if they like to read it, they will support Guo Dalu in the future, this set of books still has to be bought, anyway, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and the most important thing is that everyone wants to see "The Old Man and the Sea", which has been boasted by the media, what kind of story is written, why do so many foreign writers praise and affirm this book?
Since Guo Dalu received the Nobel Prize with Mr. Lei Yu, Guo Dalu's "The Old Man and the Sea" came out, and as soon as it appeared, it was unanimously affirmed by several major writers in the world, believing that this book has the strength to compete for the Nobel Prize.
But this "The Old Man and the Sea" has not been published in China until now, and even piracy has not been able to enter, and the Chinese people, except for people overseas who can see this book, most people have only heard of the name of this book, but they have never really read it in their hands.
Many people are anxious, although some readers have published the general plot of the book on the Internet, but few people can see the specific content of the writing.
And the reason why this book was not published is that Lei Yu felt that such a novella was too thin, so he had been persuading Guo Dalu to write more orthodox literary things, so that it could be combined with "The Old Man and the Sea" to form a series of works in the form of an anthology, so that it could also look like an anthology, otherwise a single "The Old Man and the Sea" would really not be able to support the word "anthology".
But now "The Old Man and the Sea", "The True Story of Ah Q" and "Red Sorghum", these three novellas can finally form a "Guo Dalu novella series", which is good to say and comfortable to watch.
When Guo Dalu's "Red Sorghum" was published, he had let Lei Yu read it in advance, and the magical writing methods of this book and the wild atmosphere revealed between the lines made Lei Yu, the old man, excited, and said to Guo Dalu: "Such a strong style is still relatively rare in modern Chinese history, and this can be called a fine product in local literature, Dalu, you can publish an anthology!"
It was only after listening to Lei Yu's words that Guo Dalu asked the people of the Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House to start designing the cover and printing sets for these three novellas.
These three books are not popular literature, and when they were printed, Jiang Dongliu was afraid that there would be too many printed books that could not be sold, so he discussed them with his colleagues in the society and decided to print 50,000 copies first. The fact that a traditional literary work can sell more than 10,000 copies on the first day is already a remarkable figure. This time, because the author is Guo Dalu, Jiang Dongliu deliberately printed tens of thousands of more copies, but he didn't dare to print too much.
But what he didn't expect was that the sales of these three sets of books were so hot. Guo Dalu's current fans and book friends are close to the terrible data of two or three billion people, and these people feel a lack of interest when they see that the new book he publishes is not martial arts, but in order to support Guo Dalu, this set of anthologies, everyone still buys mostly.
Just like a netizen said, "If the bookcase is full of martial arts, it is really impossible to force the grid, and sometimes relatives and friends come to visit the door, and they often joke about the martial arts in the bookcase." Now, if you put more pure literary books, the grade will come up immediately. Although I don't necessarily read it, others don't know that I don't read it, so it's good to bluff people in the bookcase. ”
"Since buying pure literary books is to pretend to be forced, then why bother to buy other people's books? Just buy Guo Ye's books directly!"
In today's China, the bookcase and bookcase have become the decoration of the room, and the books in the bookcase reflect the owner's reading level and reading taste.
In order to show that they are a cultural person and highlight their taste, many people often buy some world famous books to fill their bookcases, but these famous books only play a façade decoration role, in fact, no one reads them at all.
In order to show that they are not nouveau riche, many nouveau riche buy books by car, and the bookcase is eager to fill their rooms, because they feel that the more books they buy, the more they look like people with knowledge and status.
In order to save trouble, some people directly buy some fake books, these books are on the cover of famous books, but the cover is wrapped in a white foam board, which looks like a book, but in fact they are all fake, just to look good.
Guo Dalu's physical book is published now, and many people hold the idea that "I have to buy physical books anyway, and whoever buys it is the same, and I won't read it in the end." Then it's better to buy Guo Ye's books, at least his martial arts and movie works are good. ”
People are of the same mind, one person thinks so, two people think this way, and when a large number of people have this thought, it is a great force.
Therefore, Guo Dalu, the physical book of "Novella Collection", sold out all 50,000 copies printed by Jiang Dongliu on the first day of physical book sales.
