Chapter 118: A Chinese Ghost Story Sells Big
Don't be surprised.
Although Youth Literature and Art is a journal that represents the thoughts of young people in China, Youth Literature and Art is not limited to articles related to academics. In addition to academic insights, the Youth Literature and Art Association will include literary criticism, social focus, pure literature, historical knowledge, interviews with famous artists, and world miscellaneous ...... All kinds of subjects, as long as they are ideological opinions and related to knowledge, will appear in youth literature and art.
However, because of the high standard of youth literature and art, it is not an ordinary writer's article that can be published in a journal. Although this article on Zhiwei novels is an article in the nature of pushing books, the academic nature of this article itself is relatively high, and it has a certain scientific role in Zhiwei novels, and it also has certain insights. Moreover, this article is not written by an ordinary writer. The author of this article is called Shen Junru, a famous literary critic in China.
Let's not talk about the article, just Shen Junru's name, what young literature and art say will be published.
As soon as this article was published, it was not surprising that A Chinese Ghost Story became an instant hit.
Originally, A Chinese Ghost Story had already performed well, but after Shen Junru's push, it instantly became a dark horse in the novel publishing industry.
That time, Zhou Qiannu Ghost Story had sold out the first printing of 50,000 copies, but due to lack of preparation, it rushed to print another 100,000 copies. Unexpectedly, a week later, 100,000 copies were sold out again. This was followed by a third printing, with an additional 300,000 copies, which slightly eased the sales frenzy.
And when A Chinese Ghost Story was a big hit, a series of comments about A Chinese Ghost Story also came as scheduled.
"A Chinese Ghost Story, this is the best supernatural novel I've ever read. ”
"I finally saw a supernatural novel that is not horror or suspense, praise one. ”
"I'm so distressed that "Momiji" has gray hair overnight. ”
"That Zhuge Liuyun is very happy, alas, it's a pity that it's a male partner. ”
"I don't agree with Shen Junru's point of view, the feelings in A Chinese Ghost Story are the most classic. ”
"I just want to know, whether Nie Xiaoqian loves Ning Caichen or loves the Seven Nights Holy Monarch. ”
"Of course it's Ning Caichen, because the Blue Devil's Tears are all glowing. ”
"Fart, the Seven Nights Holy Monarch is Nie Xiaoqian's seventh resentful couple, and Nie Xiaoqian's favorite is Seven Nights. ”
"Why does it look a little messy, obviously "Red Leaves" and Ning Caichen are the most compatible pair. ”
"Let's talk about it, in fact, Nie Xiaoqian's favorite is Yan Hongye, Zhuge Liuyun and the Seven Nights Holy Monarch are a perfect match. ”
"upstairs, you're disgusting. ”
"Well, after watching A Chinese Ghost Story, how do I feel that the righteous path is getting more and more disgusting. ”
"Yes, what kind of Xuanxin is authentic, the shit Xuanxin is authentic, Yan Chixia and Sima Sanniang still have some righteous appearances, and everyone else is hypocrites. It is still the most affectionate and righteous Demon Dao Yin Moon Dynasty, whether it is the previous generation of Saint Monarch Six Dao Demon Monarchs or the more handsome and domineering Seven Nights, it is a few streets away from the righteous path. ”
"I completely agree with the opinion upstairs, but I just want to know if Fanchen is the same Fanchen who wrote Liaozhai, Niu Cha, this A Chinese Ghost Story is better looking than Liaozhai. ”
Reviews flew in and rave reviews.
A Chinese Ghost Story has been well received, and it has led to a wave of big sales.
So far, A Chinese Ghost Story has sold a total of 400,000 copies, surpassing the 300,000 copies of Zhang Yun's "Evil Ghosts", and even more similar supernatural works, and the 300,000 copies of the third issue are also in short stock, and New Moon Publishing House said that it is ready to reprint it for the fourth time. Industry insiders expect that the total number of copies sold by A Chinese Ghost Story will exceed 700,000 copies throughout the year, breaking the total number of copies sold by supernatural works.
……
"Fanchen, you cow, I obeyed, I admit defeat, you are amazing, too bullish. ”
On the TT instant messenger, Zhang Yun sent several messages to Huang Yifan in a row.
"What's the situation?"
Since Zhang Yun added Huang Yifan TT last time and made a bet with Huang Yifan, Huang Yifan and Zhang Yun have known each other.
However, at the beginning, Huang Yifan was not too interested in Zhang Yun, thinking that this guy was like some master and expert, and wanted to suppress himself. But after contact, Huang Yifan found out that this Zhang Yun looked quite cute. Although this guy wants to PK with himself, he purely wants to compete and has no other intentions.
For this, Huang Yifan and Zhang Yun can be regarded as small friends.
Although this friend is not necessarily very reliable, nor does he necessarily have much affection, at least Huang Yifan feels that Zhang Yunren is not bad, more direct, and more realistic. Of course, it is also more or less arrogant. But writers, inevitably.
"What's the situation, you don't know?"
"What do I know?"
"Damn, you didn't pay attention to the Chinese ghost story you wrote. ”
"Oh, you're talking about A Chinese Ghost Story, didn't I take it to publicize, what's wrong?"
"You're a girl, it seems that you really don't take our gambling fights seriously. However, I have convinced you. Your Chinese Ghost Story has sold 400,000 copies, and my evil ghost is in charge. It hurts, you know. Your sales data has trampled on me, a supernatural master. Oh my God, there is no reason in this world. ”
"Oh, that's what you're talking about. It's only 400,000 copies, which doesn't seem like much. ”
Regarding what Zhang Yun said, Huang Yifan disagreed.
"What is 400,000 copies, do you think 400,000 copies is less?"
"Isn't it a lot? It's not often reported on the news that so-and-so writer has sold more than 1 million copies, 2 million copies, or something. Mine is only 400,000 copies, which is far worse than them. ”
"You, you, you...... I'm really. You don't look at who the news is about, the writers who sell millions of copies a year, but the best writers. There aren't many of them in the country, do you think you can sell so many copies with just one writer? If so, writing is too delicious. And, you know, we're writing about the supernatural. The supernatural is already a niche, and your work can sell 400,000 copies, which is already a big cow, what do you want? ”
"Okay, okay, you're right, should I laugh out loud three times now? hahaha, hahaha, hahaha. ”
"It's so fake, I won't talk to you kid, sister, the more I talk to you, the more it hits my confidence. No, I'll have to try it with you again, and next time I'll write a pseudo-supernatural novel in the skin of the supernatural. ”
"Okay, okay, okay, looking forward to your masterpiece. ”
After ending the chat with Zhang Yun, Huang Yifan sent a message to Hongdou, the editor of the New Moon Publishing House.
"Red Bean, I heard that my Chinese Ghost Story sells well?"
It didn't take long for the other party to reply to the message.
"yes, I sent you a message a few days ago, why didn't you see it?"
"Uh...... Is there one?"
Huang Yifan opened the message record, and it was true.
"Well, sorry, I was too busy the other day, so I guess I ignored it. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, your book of A Chinese Ghost Story is really well written. So far, 400,000 copies have been sold, and I'm preparing to apply to the company for a key promotion. In addition, the problem of manuscript fees, because the settlement process with the bookstore is a bit long, it takes three months. If you are in a hurry, I can apply in advance to pay you a manuscript fee of 50,000 yuan. ”
"There's no rush for the manuscript fee, you can arrange it, I just want to ask about the situation of A Chinese Ghost Story. ”
"That's all there is to it, by the way, I want to ask, you are very familiar with Shen Junru?"
"Who is Shen Junru?"
"You don't know?"
"I don't know. ”
"Damn, you don't know any famous literary critics. ”
"This, this, I haven't mixed up in the writing world before, I really don't know it. ”
"Well, trust you. It's just strange, you don't know Shen Junru, why did he recommend your work in Youth Literature and Art?"
"Ah, he recommended my A Chinese Ghost Story?"
"That's right, in the last issue of Youth Literature and Art, Shen Junru strongly recommended your A Chinese Ghost Story. Originally, your novel was well written, faintly on the verge of an explosion. As soon as he recommended it, your novel became popular in an instant. No, it's only been on the market for a few days, and your work has sold 400,000 copies. ”
"Thank you. ”
Writing Shen Junru's name on the document as a mark, Huang Yifan continued to tap on the keyboard.
There are still two days before the school flower's sticker master is about to be released, this is called Master Shen Junru can only be put aside first, the time is a little tight, and some more manuscripts have to be saved.
