Chapter 40: Blocking the Door
The most direct beneficiary of the word-of-mouth reversal is undoubtedly "Children's Literature". The sales of the latest issue on the first day were quite decent, only 98,000 copies, and even 100,000 copies were not broken. Although this figure is higher than the total sales of a single issue of many magazines.
But the next day, when the book review came out. Parents who were still on the sidelines changed their attitudes. Sales climbed straight to 310,000 copies that day.
Sales dropped on the third day, but still sold 270,000 copies. On the fourth day, it dropped again, selling only 230,000 copies. But over the next three days, it sold more than 200,000 copies in a single day.
Cumulatively, this issue of "Children's Literature and Art" exceeded one million copies in only five days, and the sales volume just exceeded 1.5 million in a week.
One and a half million, an astronomical number for most magazines. Maybe they haven't been able to reach this level of total sales for several years. But now "Children's Literature" has reached it in just one week.
Don't forget, Children's Literature is a semi-monthly magazine, and there are eight days left to go on sale. Although the sales in these eight days are no longer as crazy as the first seven days, every additional copy sold is a new miracle.
The success of "Children's Literature" in turn raised the reputation of Seven Nights even higher. It's a win-win. But in addition to the two of them, there is another beneficiary. Lin Baoer's uncle Tao Yingshuang.
At first, he didn't have much hope for Zhu Ziqing. Although he thinks the book is well written. I also consulted the brick family called the beast, and everyone unanimously said that it was a good book. But he is not a three-year-old child, how can he not know that if the brick family is called a beast, there will be a lot of water if he folds it in half. And there are more cases of unsalable good books. If this can be predicted, it will be hell.
It's just that he is exhausted, and the publishing house can't support it. Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to gamble. In the end, I decided to take a risk.
When he learned that Zhu Ziqing was the most popular fairy tale writer Seven Nights recently, his heart was mixed. The good news is that the author is famous, and he can get twice the result with half the effort in publicity. Worryingly, his reputation has been a bit bad recently. Will there be any impact on his book at this time?
This worry didn't last long, and Qiye's reputation came to a shocking reversal with the exposure of his identity. The miraculous continuation of "Children's Literature and Art" finally made him realize Zhu Ziqing's potential.
Immediately afterwards, Tao Yingshuang made a decision. Suspend all other operations and devote all resources to running the book. Taking advantage of this shareholder wind, the expected publicity effect was completed at a very small cost.
What excites Tao Yingshuang the most is that since the opening of the pre-order channel, this novel, which only publishes the name of the author and the name of the book, has sold 100,000 copies. This is the first time since the establishment of the publishing house that the sales of books have exceeded 100,000 copies. At this point, he no longer had any doubts about whether the book could save the publishing house.
also gave birth to a kind of respect for Zhu Ziqing, the author. For the first time in the world, he talked to Zhu Ziqing on the phone. The attitude should be as polite as possible.
As for Zhu Ziqing, he was also very curious when he received a call from Tao Yingshuang. In the past, they used to communicate through Lin's mother, but today they are reluctant to call themselves. Although I had doubts in my heart, I still patiently greeted him.
Tao Yingshuang didn't say anything substantive about the call, just pulled the parents, and quickly hung up.
Although I don't know what Tao Yingshuang's intention was in making this call, Zhu Ziqing can think that it must be inseparable from the novel. But now he had something to do, and he didn't have time to ponder the intentions of a stranger.
"Hey, classmate Bao'er, are you going to steal the limelight from Wu Zhixuan when you dress up so beautiful?" Seeing Lin Bao'er at the agreed place, Zhu Ziqing exclaimed in an exaggerated manner.
"The expression is too pompous, bad reviews. Lin Bao'er said with a smile.
"Is it really so fake? No, my acting skills are at the level of an actor. ”
"Big actor, let's go quickly, if you don't go, you'll be late. ”
"Okay, but are you ready for the gift?"
"Of course you're ready, you won't leave a gift with you, right?" Lin Bao'er looked up and down to make sure that he didn't have anything that looked like a gift on him, and said in surprise.
"You can just bring it, and it will be a waste if I bring it again. Zhu Ziqing said seriously.
"Then what's the matter, you don't give ...... Wu Zhixuan's birthday" Saying this, Lin Baoer seemed to think of something, her voice stopped abruptly, and a faint blush quietly crept up her face.
……………………………………………………………………………
"Master, what hot news can we cover when we stay here?"
"Xiaolin, I know what you think. But you have to remember that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. A good journalist and a sniper have something in common. Be patient and aim for a fatal blow to the target. ”
"But we've been here for so many days, and we haven't seen him. Besides, even if we want to stay in the guard, we should be at his house or school. What can you keep in this hotel?"
"Because today is the birthday of one of his very good classmates, he will definitely come. ”
This conversation took place in the lobby of a restaurant, and the two people who spoke were a middleman and a young man. As he spoke, the middle-aged man's eyes kept staring at the door.
"Master, you ......"
"Shhhhh The middle-aged man suddenly interrupted the young man's words, grabbed the camera and shot at the door.
Zhu Ziqing and Lin Baoer were talking and laughing, and as soon as they walked into the hall of the restaurant, their eyes were almost unable to open when they were flashed by a burst of camera flash.
But at this time, he didn't have time to take care of his eyes, and the moment the flash came on, he knew it was broken. It must have been secretly photographed by reporters. The thoughts in my heart turn, and the action is not slow at all. One side of the body blocked in front of Lin Bao'er, although it was a little late, but it was better than doing nothing.
It's not because he's so nervous because he's afraid of being interviewed by reporters or anything, as a writer and half a public figure, it's too normal to be interviewed by reporters. But now he is still accompanied by a Lin Bao'er, and the most important thing is that the two of them also brought out the couple watch today.
If these photos are circulated, it will be very harmful to Lin Baoer. This is what he does not want to see. So when the flash stopped, Zhu Ziqing signaled Lin Baoer to go first. I kept it myself.
The middle-aged man who took the photo was moved when he saw this scene, and he was more sure of this interview. Don't look at his confident appearance in front of his assistant, in fact, he is also beating drums in his heart. Even if he blocked someone, in case Zhu Ziqing was unwilling to cooperate with his interview, he really had no way at all. He often encounters such things. But I didn't expect Zhu Ziqing to walk in with a girl.
As a reporter, he knows very well that as long as these photos circulate, at least a young love reputation can't run. It's not impossible to write news like encountering a ruthless one and playing with the feelings of female classmates.
Of course, he is now a celebrity, and he has long passed the stage of making a living by fabricating celebrity scandals. If Zhu Ziqing agreed to an exclusive interview, he would not do such an offending thing.
Obviously, Zhu Ziqing should also know this, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped where he was and waited for him to pass. As long as he understands, it's better to talk about interviews.
"Hello, Wang Qinzhong, our reporter from Dajiang Daily, this is my assistant Lin Quan. This is our press card. The middle-aged man walked quickly in front of Zhu Ziqing and said politely.
"Dae Bao, this is our own newspaper. If you want to interview me in the future, you can just come to me, you don't have to hide like this. Zhu Ziqing originally wanted to get angry, but looking at the attitude of this middle-aged man, it seems that things are still negotiable. Suppress your anger and pretend to be surprised.
"Haha...... What Mr. Zhu said I was right, it was mine and I was not, and I will give you a crime here. When you're free, take an interview with us. Zhu Ziqing's self-control surprised Wang Qinzhong. When I encountered this kind of thing, I didn't get angry, and I really wasn't a simple person.
"Not today, you also saw that I have something to do today. Or tomorrow, tomorrow you call me. After Zhu Ziqing finished speaking, he asked Wang Qinzhong to write down the phone number with a pen and paper. But instead of handing them the paper, he looked at his camera and smiled.
Wang Qinzhong didn't understand what he meant, so he simply took out the memory card of the camera and handed it over.
"I was wrong just now, I took pictures without your permission. Mr. Zhu, don't be angry. ”
Only then did Zhu Ziqing hand him the phone number: "Where, Mr. Wang is a reporter, and it is his job to present the news in front of everyone." It's just that you can see it too, there are female classmates here. Sending it out doesn't affect her well. I can shoot as much as I want tomorrow, and I will definitely cooperate. ”
Why do I want your photo, as long as you answer a few questions from me tomorrow, Wang Qinzhong said secretly in his heart. He also knew that he was not welcomed, and he got the desired result, so he immediately offered to leave:
"Then I won't bother, brother, you are busy first. By the way, help me say happy birthday to your classmates. ”
Wang Qinzhong's words before leaving can be regarded as helping Zhu Ziqing to clear a doubt, he has mastered his whereabouts in advance and specially came here to block people. These journalists are so scary that they can even take advantage of such opportunities. It seems to be careful in the future.
Thinking like this in his heart, he was about to walk inside, but when he turned around, he saw Zhang Yan and Feng Hongjun trotting all the way over.
came to Zhu Ziqing's side, looked left and right, and did not find the person he was looking for. Zhang Yancai asked in a low voice: "Lao Zhu, what's the matter? I heard Lin Bao'er say that you were secretly photographed, who did it?"
"Let's go, let's go in. ”
Looking at the two nervous friends, Zhu Ziqing felt a faint emotion in his heart. It must have been Lin Baoer who told them, and the two of them rushed over to help in such a hurry. However, there were many people here, and it was not a place to talk, so he made a look and walked inside first.
