Liu Jingting himself has never seen the scene of the first appearance of "Water Margin", but according to historical data, when this novel was first released, the sensation caused and the subsequent impact were absolutely beyond imagination.

Three famous examples can prove this: first, the first of the four strange books of the Ming Dynasty, China's first full-length romance novel independently created by literati, and the watershed of classical Chinese novels - "The Golden Bottle" is drawn from the section "Wu Song Kills His Sister-in-law" in "Water Margin", which is almost a fan fiction, but its positive and negative influence on later literature and the adaptation of film and television dramas are not inferior to "Water Margin" at all, and it is a representative of a classic "fandom counterattack on the original" in literary history;

2. After "Water Margin", sequels and imitations sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and some classic passages in the novel were turned into dramas at that time, which were great success once performed, and the inspiration of these plots for Chinese literati continues to this day, among which the "bandits" commonly used in novels, such as "timely rain", "jade unicorn", and "black whirlwind", have also been repeatedly studied and borrowed by later generations of literati;

3. According to records, "Water Margin" did cause a civil commotion, leading to "falling grass for a coward" as a fashion, and its influence was similar to that of the later "Crazy Boy", so that the ruler at that time released "Don't read "Water Margin". I don't always read the propaganda slogan of "Three Kingdoms";

These three points of information provide a glimpse into the impact of the book's publication.

Historical events have become words and cannot be seen in person, but Liu Jingting can personally witness a series of social reactions after the release of "Water Margin" in this world.

Despite all the mental preparations, after seeing the news on the Internet. Still felt unexpected.

The sales of the novel did not show how against the sky, anyway, "after "Harry Potter", there are no best-selling novels". When everyone looks at the sales of Gu Yongsheng's novels, such as "The Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" and "Tianlong Babu", it is like looking at the assets of the rich list every year, counting a few 0, just looking at a number.

Despite this, the novel's growing influence is like a giant net falling from the sky, slowly and firmly spreading across the country.

The adaptation of the TV series has been decided as early as the beginning of the serialization. When the novel was officially completed and listed, drama, drama and other groups also approached Liu Jingting one after another, asking to buy some classic passages such as "Wu Song Fights the Tiger" and "Lu Zhishen Punches the Town of Guanxi" for relevant adaptations.

Of course, Liu Jingting is happy to see it happen. There are no difficult conditions, and the contract process is basically half sold and half given away quickly.

Although he doesn't often watch plays and dramas, he sincerely hopes that these traditional arts in the country will always be alive.

Only a month later, stories such as "Three Bowls Don't Work", "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", and "Wu Song Kills His Sister-in-law" began to land in theaters across the country one after another. And it quickly became a hot word on the Internet.

Liu Jingting has pushed the book so far. The wind and waves have hardly stopped, but it is the first time that "Water Margin" is suitable for all ages, the spring and snow pass, and the experts applaud and praise ordinary readers.

……

July is Liu Jingting's birthday again, and in a blink of an eye, he is already about to enter the year of establishment, although the age in his heart has moved forward to not be confused.

On his birthday, all the editors expressed a lot of emotion, and everyone was of the same age. So the feeling is similar.

"You can think about having children. ”

While eating the cake, Xu Qing suddenly said to Liu Jingting and Yang Lilu. Everyone was stunned.

"25 to 30 years old is the golden age for a woman to have a child, and when she is 30 years old, she is an advanced maternal age, and it is difficult to recover her body when she gives birth to a child. ”

Yang Lilu lowered her head shyly, and then secretly glared at Liu Jingting again.

Liu Jingting said calmly: "We have stopped avoiding ...... now"

"Liu Jingting!" Yang Lilu quickly pounced and covered Liu Jingting's mouth, everyone smiled, of course guessing what Liu Jingting said.

After the birthday party was over, after everyone returned to their room, Yang Lilu inevitably had to settle accounts with Liu Jingting again, but before Yang Lilu had a complete seizure, Liu Jingting took the trouble to read the news seriously, and Yang Lilu had to temporarily stop punishing him because of curiosity.

According to a study by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, a couple who kisses for 20 seconds a day can extend their life by five years. ”

Yang Lilu said: "We have ...... every day Kissing. ”

Liu Jingting shook his head and said, "There is not enough time. ”

"Then next time we'll extend it, twenty seconds? We'll hold on for thirty seconds. ”

Liu Jingting nodded and continued to read the news: "At the same time, young couples keep ...... at least twice a week Well, I won't read this. ”

"What?" Yang Lilu poked her head to look, and then said angrily, "Liu Jingting, you are so evil, this is the news you made up yourself, right?"

Liu Jingting smiled and didn't answer, and then looked at Yang Lilu's gaze gradually becoming warm, and said, "All of them are for longevity." ”

"Ah...... Haha, you're welcome to come over again!"

"Alright then, I'll sit here and not move. ”

"Liu Jingting, I'm not welcome if you don't come again!"

……

On the first day after Liu Jingting's birthday, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" was released for the first time in the world.

With the experience of the first three parts, the fourth part has been carried out in an orderly manner, whether it is the promotion in advance or the official listing activities.

Except for the last time to promote the movie, Liu Jingting participated in the sales process, and rarely intervened, one was too confident in the novel, and the other was too busy with other work and had no time.

This time is different, "Water Margin" and "Ha 4" have come to an end, and a new assistant has been recruited, Liu Jingting still has plenty of time, so he is ready to popularize the successful cases of "Harry Potter" sales in his memory.

The word-of-mouth publicity in the early stage has come to an end, and the counter-promotion of the film is also an established fact, and the top priority is to publicize the new sales channel model created by "Harry Potter" itself.

Before Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, books were sold in chain stores, independent bookstores and online bookstores, but after Harry Potter 4, it broke the traditional sales model of books and began to distribute them in supermarkets, gas stations and even kiosks next to factories frequented by housewives.

In addition, activities such as selling books and giving away goods (exclusive T-shirts, products related to the Harry Potter image) and opening a "Harry Potter Book Zone" in the bookstore are also great ways to create a good atmosphere for buying books.

In addition to these intuitive and direct methods, there are also some methods that involve technical aspects, such as establishing an accurate data monitoring system, always paying attention to changes in inventory quantities, closely tracking the floating curve of sales figures, and providing the most accurate data for the relevant industrial chain.

Liu Jingting reported these ideas to Zhao Man, and she sent emails to several important booksellers abroad and at home.

Less than an hour after the email was sent, all the partners replied to the email, saying that they were arranging according to Liu Jingting's proposal.

They are experienced practitioners, and once they hear about these methods, they can immediately capture the value and meaning of them.

So, with the release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a revolutionary bestseller model spread around the world.

When everyone learned from booksellers in various countries that the architect of these models was Liu Jingting, they had to reevaluate Liu Jingting's commercial and advertising talents.

In fact, Xue Muliang, who has been paying attention to the global bestseller dynamics, immediately held a meeting with the head of the company's operation and sales department to study as soon as he saw the new sales method of "Ha 4".

Until there was news that these patterns were all from Liu Jingting's handwriting, he was secretly surprised.

"Basically, in any field, you know everything, for example, Liu Jingting is a best-selling author, but also a seasoned editor and a shrewd businessman. ”

Lu Yichou commented to the company's employees.

Once again, the "Harry Potter-esque hurricane" swept the world.

……

When "Water Margin" and "Harry Potter" swept through the Chinese and world book markets like two giant tornadoes, everyone took it for granted that Liu Jingting should give himself another long vacation.

"Gu Yongsheng's new book will be logged in "Craftsman Record" in August, a new journey invites you to go the same way, this time, Gu Yongsheng will bring you a different kind of martial arts world, so stay tuned!"

Liu Jingting, who has actually been resting for a while, builds new documents behind the two documents "Water Margin" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire":

"Deer and Ding Ji"!

A martial arts novel that is known as "a martial arts novel that is not a martial arts novel": an alternative martial arts masterpiece! (To be continued......)
