"By the way, didn't I also ask you to check the Pinocchio that was on the shelves with me? Pikalouf slowly put down his cigarette, and every qiē showed a point, he was very calm, very calm, and very victorious.
"There were nearly 30,000 copies of that adventure, and then ...... More than 500 volumes. After taking a sip of water, the little apprentice finished this sentence intermittently.
The little apprentice is only seventeen years old this year, he likes to write essays, and his parents happen to know Pikaluf, so they send him to Pikaluf.
"Don't worry, I didn't teach you, the most important thing in writing is to be calm. Pikalouf pretended to be pressing: "If you don't calm down, how can you read what you write? Nearly 30,000 copies were sold on the first day, and then more than 500 copies, well, that's good." ”
What does Pikalouf understand? What does he understand is that his "The Adventure of the Ram" sold nearly 30,000 copies on the first day, which is nearly three times better than his only famous work, "The Adventure of the Ram", do you think he is happy?
Then, he stepped on the high-ranking "Pinocchio", which sold more than 500 copies nationwide, do you think, the magic capital piloted sales of only a few dozen copies a day, and then the national sales on the first day are not very normal?
Pikalouf is already imagining how long it will take for "The Adventure of the Ram" to break 100,000, then 200,000, and finally 500,000, knowing that even the golden age of fairy tales is only a very small number of people who can reach this point.
Maybe he can also take the position of vice president of the Fairy Tale Novel Association.
That's what Pikaruf had in mind, and the brainstorming that followed, or daydreaming for short.
The little apprentice looked at his teacher in surprise and said with admiration: "Teacher, you are really amazing." ”
The little apprentice's praise in the previous sentence made Pikaruf very useful, but the latter sentence was simply from heaven to hell.
Here's what he said: "Your "Ram Adventure" sold less than 600 copies, and even a fraction of "Pinocchio" was not a fraction of it, and it was amazing that you were able to maintain a normal mind." The little apprentice gave a thumbs up.
"That's ......" Pikalouf was about to say, of course, and it doesn't depend on who your teacher is, but as soon as the first two words of this sentence were spoken, Pikalouf came back to his senses and realized that something was wrong.
"What was the sales volume you just mentioned?" asked Pikaruf again.
"Teacher, your new book sold more than 500 copies, and then Pinocchio sold more than 20,000 copies. The little apprentice repeated again with a serious expression.
Edge.
Dumbfounded.
Pikalouf threw all the cigarettes in his hand on the ground, and the ashtray was not visible. The first reaction is that this is impossible, the second reaction is impossible, and the third reaction is still impossible.
After a series of activities, he made a judgment, it must be that the little apprentice was wrong!
So Pikaruf forced him to tense up, and said in a low voice: "Are you mistaken, after all, the two names are very similar, and it is quite normal to look at the sales of the two copies." ”
"No, absolutely not. The little apprentice denied it.
He then said: "I deliberately watched it several times, after all, Han Shi and the teacher, one is an old author in the fairy tale circle, and the other is just a newcomer, I think that even if I lose, it is impossible to lose so badly." ”
Listening to the little apprentice, I really wanted to kill him.
"So I clearly checked it several times, and I was worried about whether the number of the website was wrong, so I called Yuxia Publishing House and Modu Publishing House, but I got the exact number of jù, all of which were the same. The little apprentice looked at his teacher with a pair of big lovely eyes.
Pikaruf petrified, and his face was unfathomably indifferent, and it became a stiff and sluggish one.
But this qiē did not change in the eyes of the little apprentice who did not pay attention to it, and continued: "So this is what I admire about the teacher, if it were me, I would definitely be mad, and then jump up, but the teacher You are still sitting calmly with an indifferent expression, the teacher is really worthy of being a teacher." ”
After that, the little apprentice gave another thumbs up.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are not afraid of pig-like teammates, and if you are afraid of god-like apprentices, that adoring gaze and that thumb are really going to be popular.
Pikaruf's face was about to suffocate internal injuries, and he silently took out his mobile phone and used the not-so-fast 3G network to inquire.
Really, although I was a little shaken in my heart when I heard what the little apprentice said, I still had to see it for myself.
"Pinocchio" -
The first day of pilot sales: 38 copies
The next day of pilot sales: 57 copies
National first day: 28,578 copies
Pikaruf's pupils shrank sharply, what his little apprentice really said was true, and this extremely unscientific thing appeared in front of him.
The pilot sales on the first day were less than forty, how could there be twenty-eight thousand on the first day of national sales?!
This kind of sales completely made Pikalouf feel that all his math teachers in elementary, middle, high school, and college were dead.
"You go buy a few copies of today's cultural newspaper. Pikaruf said.
"Good. The little apprentice immediately agreed, but before going out, the little apprentice asked the master a question that he had been wondering about for a long time: "Master, why is there such a big gap between the sales of your new book and the Han Shi who you said is not well written?"
"......" Pikaruf, and now Mozart can't play his sorrow.
What is called which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, this is called which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned.
"Forget it, you still don't have to buy it, you can go back first when it's okay. Pikalouf felt tired and sent the little apprentice away.
The moment the door closed, his face immediately turned hideous: "There must be something strange, it's impossible, Pinocchio must be full of bad reviews, and the eyes of the masses are bright!"
Pikalouf picked up his mobile phone to flip through the reports of today's cultural newspapers, and in his opinion, his meticulous "The Adventures of the Ram" must have been amazed, and "Pinocchio" was definitely criticized.
Even he thought that even if "Pinocchio" won in sales, it must have lost in terms of word-of-mouth.
But the imagination is plump, and the reality is skinny.
As soon as I opened it, I was blinded.
"Pinocchio and Ram Adventures, I can't tell the difference between them stupidly, but I tell you that although the names of the two books are similar, the content is like one is a beautiful jade, and the other is a sand and stone disguised as jade, I believe you also know, the puppet is a beautiful jade, and the ram is a sand stone. - "The Poisonous Mouth of the Literary World"
"Are you blind, can you read books, rubbish cultural poisonous tongue newspapers and periodicals, sooner or later you will be poisoned. Pikaruf was furious.
"Although sales volume can't explain one qiē, it can represent many things, and a difference of more than 40 times can represent many things, including popularity and quality. -- "The First Newspaper in the Literary World"
"It's really superficial, what is sales, what is this? Quality is the most important thing. Pikaruf let go of his anger and watched one scolding the other, but soon he stopped scolding because Guji had written a comment......
