Chapter 61: See You on Monday

A world of suspense.

"Everyone, what do you think about our suspense world in March?"

Wei Heming, editor-in-chief of Suspense World, took a sip of tea and said in the conference room of the editorial department.

"Editor-in-chief, it was said that March had not written supernatural novels for ten years, can you still write them now?"

Soon an editor said.

"Yes, if we don't write in this line for a year, our hands will be born, let alone ten years. Editor-in-chief, I'm not optimistic about March. ”

Another editor also said.

"I think it can be used, and March Haojiao is also a supernatural master who was on an equal footing with Zhang Yun back then. Although in the past ten years, he has written more popular martial arts by himself, and he has been miserable, but I still have the power to write, and we can use March's fame to make a gimmick before Zhang Yun serializes the novel. ”

One of the editors, sitting on the left, offered his opinion.

"I agree with Guohua that March is still more well-known than the average author anyway. And it is said that the previous issues in March joined the midnight talks. Everyone has also seen the performance of the recent midnight talks, and the pen power in March is indeed good. We dug it in March, and it can be regarded as a way to break the way to talk in the middle of the night. ”

"yes, the midnight talk is already dead. Unexpectedly, the last few issues have been revived. Supernatural magazines are already niche, and it is already possible to have a well-known magazine in the market, and then two, or even three, this market can't do it at all, and I suggest that we pull the suspense world over in March. ”

"I think it's better to forget it, why did March switch to our suspense world, as far as I know, it seems that March and the midnight talk collapsed. The grapevine said that it was Lin Hao, a friend of March, and the editor who talked in the middle of the night asked Zhou Qing for too high a price. It's okay to dig him up, I'm afraid, this March is a wolf that can't be fed. ”

A few editors, you say a word, and you have a variety of opinions.

"Zhu Shi, what do you think?"

"I don't think it's okay to pull March over. But ......"

The deputy editor-in-chief of the suspense world, "Zhu Shi", was the hero of the suspense world and the midnight talk war, and Zhu Shi was also a supernatural expert, even as an editor and a guest author, his pen name "Zhu Sheng" is a well-known author in the industry. There were many times when Wei and Ming wondered if Zhu Shi would become an existence like Zhang Yun if he didn't edit and wrote supernatural novels. However, there are no ifs in life. Zhu Shi is still working as an editor in the suspense world, and similarly, he occasionally writes a few manuscripts.

"But what?"

"I always feel like a ghost in March, and I'm a little bored as to why sales have risen sharply in the middle of the night recently."

"Let's do some research."

"It's useless, the sales volume in the middle of the night is still too small, the base is not enough, and in March, it is the middle of the night to talk about the key recommended writers, even if you go to investigate, you can't find any problems."

"That's easy."

Wei Heming nodded, "The 303rd issue of the magazine has been released in the middle of the night today, and it is said that the ghost of March has been removed from the shelves and did not appear in the middle of the night talk." If this issue of the magazine is still selling well, then this March is not the same. If this issue of the Midnight Talk magazine falls sharply, then, this March, we can really absorb it. ”

"That'll do fine."

Zhu Shi nodded, although he felt like a ghost, but this was only based on his personal experience. A lot of times, a mature editor, he doesn't completely trust only his own vision. Everything speaks for itself. The market does not deceive people, and the most direct and effective way to test whether an author's work is well written or not is also through the market.

The day after the meeting, Mystery World got the sales figure for the 303rd issue of Midnight Talk: 50,000 copies.

This data startled Wei Heming and Zhu Ming on the spot.

Before the ghost of March did not land in the Midnight Talk magazine, the Midnight Talk magazine has been staying at about 50,000 copies. Immediately in the middle of the night, March was invited, and as soon as the ghost saw the sorrow, the sales immediately soared by more than 6,000 copies. Next, with the efforts of 301 and 302 issues, Midnight Talk rushed to the peak of 70,000 copies.

Unexpectedly, when the March and Midnight talks collapsed, the sales of Ghost Sorrow actually dropped to 50,000 copies.

It dropped by 20,000 in an instant.

This kind of achievement not only shows that the sales of midnight talks have plummeted, but also shows the weight of March in midnight talks.

"No wonder that March dared to shout the price to 2000 thousand words, it seems that he really has the ability. Fortunately, in the middle of the night, I talked about the recent financial constraints. Otherwise, let this guy post a few more issues, and he will not be able to talk in the middle of the night and return to the weekly 100,000 copies club. ”

Wei Heming said with emotion.

"Alas, people are old, and even their vision is wrong. Old Wei, I take back what I said before. This March can really be pulled over. However, this man is too crazy and you need to be cautious. ”

"I know that."

Wei Heming nodded, "However, it can meet his offer now." When Zhang Yun's novel starts to be serialized, it doesn't matter if it takes March or not. ”

"That's the reason."

……

"Editor-in-Chief Zhou, March has jumped into the world of suspense."

The suspense world has just signed a contract with March, and Lin Hao of the magazine on the other side got the news.

Walking into the office of the editor-in-chief in the middle of the night, Lin Hao said with some sarcasm.

Just didn't want to, but Zhou Qing was silent, and replied lightly, "Oh, yes." ”

"Editor-in-chief, don't you regret it?"

Seeing that the effect of this translation was not achieved, Lin Hao asked again.

"Regret what?"

"I regret letting March go, and if we had continued to publish the March issue in the middle of the night, it would have been obvious that the sales of this issue of our magazine would not have fallen so badly. Perhaps, if you cooperate well with March, it will be almost the same as selling more than 100,000 copies in the middle of the night. ”

"Lin Hao, Lin Hao, do you regret that I let go of March, or do you regret that you can't get a kickback?"

"Editor-in-chief, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean, Lin Hao, although I haven't been in charge of the editorial department much in recent years, I still know who has done what things. You can take some kickbacks, but don't think that if you are so clever, I, the editor-in-chief, don't know. In the future, if you have anything to do on my side**YY, even if you are a relative of the boss, I will fire you. ”

"You ......"

Seeing Zhou Qing say so seriously, Lin Hao was also afraid in his heart, and had to leave with hatred.

"This Lin Hao, alas, the company is so big, all of them have been pitted by these moths."

Watching Lin Hao leave, Zhou Qing sighed.

But this seems to be good news.

March switched to the world of suspense, tsk.

The suspense world thinks that a heavy treasure has been dug up, hehe, who of you knows, what is the reason for the sales of the midnight talk?

Not to mention you, even the editor-in-chief of me, who talked in the middle of the night, only woke up after a few weeks.

Since you're digging up March, we'll see you on Monday.

He is very much looking forward to what kind of consequences will be caused by the suspense world once the March manuscript is published.

It's just that Zhou Qing, who has some schadenfreude on the one hand, is also depressed on the other.

The mortal who writes about fasting, where has this guy gone?

I don't think 800 thousand words is too little.

Or did you hear some rumors, knowing that the price in March was 2,000 for 1,000 words, and he also wanted 2,000 words for 1,000 words?
