Chapter 331: Sales Massacre!
The short February slipped through the fingers unconsciously, and when the calendar turned to the next page, the power of the original silence instantly burst out at this time, and the major periodicals and magazines worked together, making the still somewhat cold weather become hot!
Whether it is a semi-monthly magazine or a monthly magazine, March 1 is the day of concentrated sales, and the owners of retail stalls put the goods they bought early in the morning in the most conspicuous places, waiting to be purchased. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Boss, which magazine is Lin Han's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" serialized, I want three. ”
The sky has just grayed, the doors of the shops on both sides of the bustling road are closed, only the vendors selling breakfast are not afraid of the cold, and Tao Lei, who is ready to study early, holds the roasted sweet potato in his hand and looks at the owner of the retail stall with an expectant expression.
He is a senior student at Linchuan No. 2 Middle School, and before 6 o'clock this morning, he received a text message from several boarding students, asking him to bring the new magazines to class, and the five of them shared these three magazines!
"It's a total of 15 yuan, do you need to buy anything? The martial arts novels here are very good, do you see "The Four Famous Catches"?" The boss tried his best to sell it, and he could sell one more book.
However, Tao Lei took out his wallet happily, but refused to say: "Boss, who else reads martial arts novels these days, "The Four Famous Catches" are all novels of the last century. ”
Before the boss could react, several other students with school bags also came over and stopped in front of the newsstand closest to the school entrance.
"Boss, I want a copy of "Fantasy Age", the latest issue!"
"Get me a copy too!"
"I want "Jianghu", is there a March Jianghu here?"
"Hahahaha, what age is this, big pig, you still read martial arts novels, is it interesting!"
Today's middle school students are basically not too short of money, just a few dollars a magazine, of course it's no problem to buy one a month, they happily take the book and walk away.
The owner of the newsstand kept collecting money, and the school gate happened to be a bus stop again, and many students who got off the bus and office workers who were waiting for the bus came to buy two copies more or less.
It was only the morning of the first day, and he felt that his inventory here was already a little insufficient, and now more than half of the thirty copies of "Fantasy Age" have been sold, and the originally popular "Yilin" and "Reader" seem to be not moving much.
"When you're not busy, you'll have to rush the progress and replenish the stock for me quickly, otherwise it will be sold out. The boss said to himself, and at this time, the loud class bell rang from inside the campus, and even spread outside.
Many students in school uniforms rushed to the door of the classroom after hearing the bell.
However, there was also something different, a short-haired boy with thick glasses jumped off the bus and ran straight towards the newsstand, as if he didn't care about the ringing.
"Mu Zixu, we're already late, what other books do you want to buy, Lao Duan will definitely block us at the door of the classroom!" said another boy panting.
Mu Zixu, who was wearing glasses, gasped heavily, and he said quickly to the boss of the newsstand: "The boss gave me a copy of "Fantasy Times", I want to have Lin Dada's issue, hurry up." ”
He took out the five dollars he had prepared and put it on the top of the cabinet, then took the magazine and ran to meet his classmates.
The first bell in the morning self-study is the preparatory bell, and the second bell is the official class bell.
But when Mu Zixu and the others ran wildly to the teaching building in the playground, they were still a few minutes late, running from the first floor to the fifth floor, and the two boys could almost see the white vapor steaming on their heads!
The sound of Langlang reading sounded in the teaching building, the classroom here was reciting Chinese, and the other side was chattering English, which was very lively.
"Teacher Duan......"
Mu Zixu's heart sank, he hurriedly hid the magazine he had just bought behind him, and explained: "Teacher Duan, the bus I took today was stuck with other cars, and I will definitely not be late next time!"
As a good student in the class, Duan Tian has always trusted Mu Zixu, even if he saw the small movements behind him, he didn't break it, "Mu Zixu, there are still two or three months before the college entrance examination, this is your business, there are some things I hope you can distinguish between priorities and priorities." Go in now, and don't delay your early reading. ”
"Thank you, teacher. Mu Zixu walked quickly to his position, untied his schoolbag, quickly took out the Chinese textbooks and began to recite those high-frequency test points.
……
When Duan Fei returned to the office, he found that it was already very lively.
"These students don't know what's going on, they have already entered the 100-day countdown to the college entrance examination, but they still have to read these novels and magazines in the morning self-study, and they are really angry!"
"That's right, the long-term third place in our class was secretly reading a magazine, and I directly handed over the magazine, "Fantasy Times" is really harmful!"
"Don't say it, I also bought one, but I didn't have time to read it, I heard that Lin Han posted a new book on it. ”
"Speaking of magazines, "The Four Famous Catches" and "The Sun and the Moon in the Sky" have come out, this is my memories of my student days, I went to buy a copy at lunch to see if there is still a martial arts flavor. ”
"I've been so busy all day, have you finished correcting the papers for the weekly exam? This time the overall difficulty is low, and the average score is still so poor, you have to beat those students!"
Duan Fei looked at the "Fantasy Era" on the table next to him, he took it over curiously and took a look, and found that the cover of this issue was actually a vast galaxy and a broken earth, as well as the main words "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and "Lin Han's works".
Duan Fei, who has never been a science fiction enthusiast, is a math teacher, he likes to watch science fiction movies, and when other colleagues are still correcting the weekly exam papers, the advantages of mathematics come out, and yesterday he finished correcting the papers of his two classes and registering the results.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Milky Way", the title of the book looks quite interesting, probably to teach people how to travel in the galaxy, Duan Fei guessed.
When he flipped through the introduction, he was fascinated by the content of the novel, it turned out that the title of the novel was related to the content, and there was also a book published in the constellation Ursa Minor in it.
"It's kind of interesting!"
At the beginning of the story, the protagonist Dent's house appears, an ordinary house, and then the house is facing demolition, and a bulldozer comes out of the door, and the protagonist lies directly in front of the bulldozer, unwilling to tear down his house.
"What kind of science fiction element is this, it seems to be satirizing reality, has the author's house also been forcibly demolished?"
Duan Fei couldn't hold back his curiosity and began to speculate, and later the protagonist's friend Fulin appeared, which finally made Duan Fei see the interesting content, this Fulin is actually an alien! An alien who has been trapped on Earth for 15 years is still a so-called interstellar rover!
An earthling, an alien, the two are friends, and they are still in danger of being forced to go to a bar for a drink.
But when Duan Fei saw the beginning of the second chapter, he couldn't help but grin, he actually described the wine as a pangalactic gargle explosive, as if it was something great, it was really interesting!
However, the content of the second chapter is very, very small, Duan Fei found that he had entered the third chapter before he turned the page, he turned to the front and checked the following page numbers in confusion, "What's going on, why is the second chapter about the same length as the introduction?
But no one could help him answer this question, so he could only keep his head down and read.
The progress bar crept into the third chapter, and there seemed to be some uninvited guests above the earth, dozens of huge, stubby yellow slabs, as big as an office building, and as silent as a bird.
Duan Fei held his breath, he knew very well that he had seen countless science fiction movies, this must be aliens coming, are aliens going to invade the earth? But in this case, what is the difference between it and ordinary science fiction novels!
However, Lin Han did not disappoint him, and the words behind completely surprised Duan Fei.
"Huge spaceships are forbidden in the sky, covering all the countries of the planet. They hung there motionless, looking huge and heavy, which was a blasphemy against nature. Many people go into shock because they try to make sense of what they are seeing in their minds. The spaceship hangs in the air like this, and a masonry building of the same size is not capable of this!
……
'O people of the earth, please take note. This is Vogon-Gerz from the Galactic Hyperspace Program Committee. As you no doubt already know, plans to exploit remote parts of the galaxy require the construction of a hyperspace fast track through your galaxy. Sadly, the planet you inhabit is in the realm of being cleared. The purge will take place within two minutes of your Earth time. Thank you!'"
This is simply full of ridicule, this is completely the words of the group of people who demolished the protagonist Dunt's house, and as a result, they were spoken by aliens, and the next second the earth was directly destroyed!
It's crisp, it's simple, and without any mud or water, the earth is wiped out by the Vogons' spaceship!
Rao is Duan Fei's psychological quality is very good, and he can't help but be surprised, this is completely not according to the routine, why did the earth go straight to the box lunch as soon as he appeared?
I have never seen a science fiction movie that destroyed the earth and its billions of humans, countless animals and plants in the first place, as simple as brushing off a speck of dust!
The content behind completely attracted Duan Fei's attention, and he devoted himself to it, and then the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and the little yellow croaker who could understand the language of any race in the universe appeared, and the laughter was very dense!
The words "to be continued" gave him a fatal blow, I just saw the highlights, why is it gone, this broken chapter is too broken!
It's like watching a small movie in an island country, just seeing the heroine take off her clothes, and the video is over, which is very painful.
After spending two classes reading some chapters of the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" published on "Fantasy Age", Duan Fei's face was a little stiff at this time, and he said to his colleagues around him with unfinished thoughts: "Very good science fiction!"
……
"Fantasy Age", which usually sells only five or six hundred thousand copies a month, is not inferior at all in the face of the siege of so many competitors, selling nearly 100,000 copies in pre-sales alone, and receiving orders from more than 30,000 people for a whole year!
The magazine's favorite thing is to book a whole year of service, and buy it every month, which is the loyal reader.
Compared to the huge shipments of other magazines, "Fantasy Times" is actually not superior, but it was the first to sell out and then reprint!
Hundreds of thousands of copies of the magazine were digested by the market in just one day, which was completely unable to meet the needs of readers, and many people were surprised to find that the newsstands around them were sold out when they got off work or after school!
Even when they went to the major bookstores to inquire, they found that this damn magazine was actually limited to purchase, and each person could only buy one! Those readers who were ready to help their friends buy on their behalf were instantly confused, this TM is not a limited edition collectible, and they actually have a purchase limit, and they have never heard of a magazine actually restricting purchases.
But that's the case, the bookstore's stock is also very limited, and one after another readers take "Fantasy Times" away from the bookstore, and the bookstore keeps urging the magazine to pick up the goods!
Rao is Tan Lin has been prepared, but he was also taken aback by this hot sales situation, the first printing of 600,000 copies seems to have been absorbed without even a splash, is it enough to print 200,000 copies now?
"Directly print 400,000 copies, this is only the first day to sell so many, there is still a month to go, will definitely be able to sell 400,000 copies!" Tan Lin boldly guessed, this is simply the best time for his magazine to sell more than one million!
The printing plant, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately loaded the machines at full capacity, and the factory workers even began to work in three shifts, just to be able to quickly hand over the printed matter.
"Sales Express, "Ancient and Modern Legends" sold more than 380,000 copies in a single day, a year-on-year increase of 14%, setting the highest opening sales in the past three years!"
"The sales of "Science Fiction World" have plummeted, and it is expected to sell less than one million for four consecutive months, which may fall below the list of best-selling magazines!"
"Feng Ge joined hands with "Jianghu" to start the campaign mode, and incomplete statistics have sold 270,000 copies on March 1!"
"Wen Rui'an's new work "Young Ruthless" landed in "Sword", prompting its sales to soar by 21%, and it is currently the third seller of literary magazines!"
"Fantasy Age ushered in a volcanic eruption, selling more than 500,000 copies in a single day, a 150% increase over the same period last month, surpassing Reader to become the highest-selling work on the first day of March!"
"Lin Han's Dafa is good, "Fantasy Era" bloody massacre all magazines, setting the highest single-day sales record in history!"
"The golden age of science fiction has arrived!"
"Fantasy Times" dominates the magazine's sales charts, most of the retail outlets have been sold out, and a large number of readers have no choice but to buy the electronic version. )
