Chapter 1039: Blow a wave first

Brown is not a big celebrity, he can only be regarded as having some influence in a small circle at best.

However, most of the people who like to read the books recommended by Brown are old book lovers.

With a well-established best-selling publishing routine in North America, the profession of book critic is not as popular as that of film critics, but it is also an influential group in the publishing industry.

Brown is one of those book reviewers, but his book reviews are generally only for those who are suspenseful and reasoning.

For example, this time, "The Da Vinci Code".

In fact, although he didn't know which book Ye Qiu posted on the Qidian Literature International Station, Yang Jian guessed that it was very likely that this MR.X was Ye Qiu.

When this work came to prominence, the senior editor of the Qidian Literature International Station noticed it and reported it to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief was also very optimistic about this work, even if this "Da Vinci Code" is not the best on the Qidian Literature International Station, but "The Da Vinci Code" has a very peculiar place, that is, the book review area of "The Da Vinci Code" is the most lively.

The number of book reviews is by far the highest, and it's interesting to note that the Da Vinci Code data often sees some new traffic.

In other words, "The Da Vinci Code" has attracted a lot of off-site traffic, which was not originally the traffic on the international website of Qidian Literature.

Yang Jian naturally knows what is most lacking in Qidian Literature International Station, and it can be said that what is most lacking is a book that can open up the channel of bestsellers and online literature.

However, online literature platforms are different from traditional bestseller publishing platforms.

The books on the bestseller list are often reported and commented on by major media reports, and will be followed by book reviewers, thus driving up sales, but the Internet is rarely able to win the favor of these people.

So what to do? Spend money on them to build momentum?

This is really not good, because you must first have a good work foundation, otherwise, even if you spend money, you may not be able to get things done.

And "The Da Vinci Code" gave Yang Jian hope.

And Yang Jian is very suspicious that "The Da Vinci Code" is Ye Qiu's work, and MR.X is Ye Qiu.

This is a good possibility.

In fact, the reason why Ye Qiu looked forward to it and did not interfere, nor did he reveal that he wrote it, and he did not want to test Yang Jian and others.

As a result, when the update of "The Da Vinci Code" was nearing the end, the Qidian Literature International Station finally began to operate.

A lot of movies spend money on public relations, what do critics do for it? Because of their influence, of course, book critics do the same.

But when it comes to the Internet, I really can't and dare not do this, because the sales and profits that can be generated by an Internet cannot, if it is not a top-notch work, obviously cannot be compared with the profits that bestsellers can get.

But this "The Da Vinci Code" is different, and this work is not far behind, if not surpassed, even by the bestseller lists.

Public relations media, public relations book reviewers, all need to spend money, and Qidian Literature International Station must also consider the cost.

After all, the public relations costs of tens of millions of dollars are not affordable for ordinary works.

"I've always disliked emerging online literature and prefer to read bestsellers, and by chance, a friend recommended this "The Da Vinci Code" to me. With great curiosity, I finished reading the book The Da Vinci Code, saw 4 o'clock in the morning, and went online to inspect the famous paintings mentioned in the Da Vinci book in detail......

The book has its own unique views on religion, symbols, and symbols, which has given me a new extension of my understanding of Leonardo da Vinci, although it is, but I think the author, Mr. X, has a deep understanding of Christianity, semiotics, and art. It's a really good movie, mixing murder, detective, puzzle, suspense, hunt and other conventional best-selling elements, and adding a lot of cultural condiments such as art history, religious history, and symbolism. Amazingly, he sprinkled those high-end condiments just right, and the flavor was completely integrated with the thrilling story. This is no idle skill.

It's hard for me to imagine that such a work that is good enough to hit the bestseller list should be first published on an online literary platform known for its fast food literature. —Ben Keller, a well-known book critic.

"The Mona Lisa has become a world art masterpiece not because of its mysterious smile, nor because many art historians have made mysterious explanations about it, but simply because Leonardo da Vinci claimed that it was his proud work.

This is a passage in "The Da Vinci Code", in the skeptical mentality, after opening it, I read it all at once, and I was fascinated at first, and after reading it all in one go, I felt that the main benefit of this book is to condense a lot of interesting and sensational knowledge in the progress of the plot, and teach and fiddle with it from time to time, which increases the "intellectuality" that is lacking in ordinary popularity, and makes the style of the book much higher.

The erudition of the author, Mr. X, is reflected in his knowledge of the Louvre, Westminster and other churches, the hypothesis of the inner meaning of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings and other art historical knowledge, the hermitage, the Knights Templar, the early history of Christianity and the history of the interrelations of primitive religions, cryptography, semiotics, the operation of Swiss banks, linguistics and, above all, the use of etymology...... The most important thing is to skillfully show all this knowledge through a story, so that the reader can learn a lot, and also be greatly impacted, but not boring.

I don't know if the opening sentence is the author's arrogance or as a marketing tool, but after reading it, I can only admire the author's breadth of knowledge and hobbies, which is amazing, and I myself can't find any traces of loopholes in it. —Ramon Davis, Editor-in-Chief of Bestsellers

"Is The Da Vinci Code the new bestseller? So many people are commenting on it? ”

"No, it seems to be a work of online literature. ”

"Online literature? impossible, right?"

The next day, when these reports came out, many people inevitably became curious about the work "The Da Vinci Code".

In particular, these media and celebrities have highly regarded this work, which will naturally attract more people.

At the beginning, in order to let these people report and write reviews for "The Da Vinci Code", Qidian Literature International spent hundreds of thousands of dollars.

However, the effect was not long in coming, and the data for The Da Vinci Code skyrocketed after these reports appeared, and more than 80 percent of the traffic was new.

The most commendable thing is that these people don't just say they will leave after they come, but more than half of them register accounts and pay to read paid chapters in order to read paid chapters.
