Chapter 8 "Dragon and Tiger" is a big hit
(Ask for recommendations and collections, newcomers need motivation!
Since "Martial Arts Magazine" was acquired by Beijing Cultural and Creative Company, although there is a sufficient capital chain, there are few authors who can hold up the scene, "Legend of Martial Arts" is still immortal, with a single circulation of only about 80,000 each time, and a total circulation of about 150,000 copies in two magazines in January. If this is the case for a long time, it is very likely that "Legend of Martial Arts" will change hands again or simply cease publication.
For this reason, he also thought of a lot of ways, tried a heavy amount of money, and most of the results were some very mentally retarded martial arts plots, nothing more than some of the protagonist's family members were killed by powerful forces, the protagonist apprenticed to learn art, and eventually succeeded, and then embarked on a road of revenge, by the way, there was a roar when he saw injustice on the road, the hero saved the beauty, and then the beauty promised each other, and finally the revenge was avenged, and the beauty also had it.
What made him even more speechless was that there were even authors who submitted not martial arts essays, but some youth romance essays, either Nima's domineering president fell in love with me, or what kind of love triangle, extramarital affair, and the eggs of people watching hurt and hurt.
He still tried to spend a lot of money to ask some famous martial arts authors to ask for manuscripts, but with little success.
Later, he heard that there was a serial martial arts called "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" that became popular in the world, so he took a curious look at it and immediately felt refreshed. The plot of the article is suspenseful, the narrative technique and the historical background of the work, and the humanistic spirit are different from the popular martial arts novels, which are more profound, and there is a tendency to open up a different school.
So, he had a love for talents, and he really had no available soldiers in his hands, so he ordered his subordinates to contact the author, and it happened that the author was about to publish "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua", and a new book was published. So with his keen sense of smell as a magazine for several years, he tried his best to persuade the president to start a large number of resources of the company, seize the gimmick of "new martial arts", and commercially package and hype Jin Guliang, a rookie author.
So much has been paid, and now, it's time to reap!
After five years of painstaking work in the magazine "Legend of Martial Arts", Lin Wensheng now actually cares more about the results of this magazine than anyone else, and he also pushes against public opinion and puts the bet on a rookie author who no one has heard of before.
Now at nine o'clock in the morning, "Dragon Tiger" and "Legend of Martial Arts" have just been on the shelves for half an hour, and the first post on the official forum appeared: "I just bought a copy of "Dragon and Tiger" in the bookstore, and a copy of "Legend of Martial Arts", and came to post pictures. ”
In the photo, a person is holding two new books with different covers, one is "Legend of Martial Arts", and the other is "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua",
Next, people posted and posted pictures on the magazine's official forum one after another.
Three hours after it was put on the shelves, someone posted a comment post on Jin Guliang's new book "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge".
"Haha, I just watched the first four serials of "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" on "Legend of Martial Arts", and I can only say that it feels too good, not enough to watch. This book feels higher than "Dragon Tiger". In addition, the author is too TM talented, and the first title was called "Holding Hate Ice Bullets to Resist Strong Enemies, Confessing Poisonous Arrows and Chests". This word "insert" is really wonderful!"
"The first time I bought the magazine "Legend of Martial Arts" in the next day, it was to see Jin Dada's "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge", and I really didn't disappoint Zai Xia at a glance, and I gave Jin Daxia a thumbs up!"
Six hours after it was put on the shelves, news about the two books appeared on major martial arts forums, post bars, and even Douban.**.
"Come and see, Tianya Literature moderator Yiye Blinds has posted a post strongly recommending Dragon and Tiger and the Sea of Clouds!" An editor in the conference room exclaimed.
"Someone recommended "Sea of Clouds" on the Dragon Sky Forum!"
"A well-known blogger posted a long book review about "Dragon Tiger" on **!
In the conference room, every word of the editors was heard, and they were all paying attention to the dynamics of "Dragon and Tiger" and "Sea of Clouds" at any time, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and Lin Wensheng, who was sitting in the first place and listening to the report, gradually relaxed his tense face.
Twelve hours on the shelves, various forums, post bars, and Renren.com. **The escalation of the discussion about "Dragon Tiger" and "Sea of Clouds" did not achieve the goal of everyone talking, but it set off a wave of discussion.
In particular, many readers bought "Dragon and Tiger", and after reading the whole book, they found that Zuo Hanying was dead, Liu Mengdie became a monk because of love, and in Qingshan Ancient Temple, often accompanied by green lights, she was depressed in her heart, and kept complaining about the author on the Internet.
At nine o'clock the next morning, "Legend of Martial Arts" and "Dragon Tiger" were put on the shelves for 24 hours, and all the editorial staff of "Legend of Martial Arts" magazine gathered in the main conference room to wait, at this time, everyone, including the editor-in-chief Lin Wensheng, showed a trace of nervousness on their faces.
Because, the first-day sales estimates of "Legend of Martial Arts" and "Dragon Tiger" will be announced by the company's planning staff. This estimate is roughly calculated from the feedback from the major bookstore suppliers of Tongguò Publishing House, as well as Dangdang.com, Jingdong.com, and Amazon.com, and the first day of a new book is often the most critical sales period, and there will be weakness later, so the estimate of the first day is a strong reference.
The clock in the conference room was ticking, and it was very quiet. Half an hour later, there was a sound of high heels stepping on the floor outside the door, and the door of the conference room was pushed open.
A beautiful woman in a white shirt and a black A-line skirt walked in from the outside.
The woman is about thirty years old, with a plump figure and a pair of black-framed glasses on the delicate bridge of her nose, and the whole thing feels like she is full of intellectual beauty and looks very comfortable.
"President!" everyone in the conference room stood up in unison and greeted the intellectual woman who came in.
The intellectual woman's name is Li Yunzhi, thirty-one years old, graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University with a master's degree, has worked in many famous publishing houses, and is now the president of the "Legend of Martial Arts" magazine, with a lot of seniority.
"President Li, why are you here?" Lin Wensheng was a little surprised when he saw someone coming, and at the same time he was about to get up and give up his seat.
"Lao Li, I'm here to report good news to you!" Li Yunzhi smiled and raised a few pieces of paper in her hand and put them on the table.
Lin Wensheng saw the president's expression, and his nervous heart was a little lighter, these pieces of paper should be the sales estimate for the first day of the new book, and the results should be good, so he hurriedly took it in his hand and looked at it.
"What? "Dragon and Tiger" sold nearly 20,000 copies in 24 hours, and "Legend of Martial Arts" sold 50,000 copies!" Lin Wensheng looked at the estimated sales of new books published by the Wuxia Culture Publishing House in July. One is the number of magazine sales, and among many magazines, "Legend of Martial Arts" occupies the third place with a figure of more than 50,000, while the other is the ranking of physical books, and "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua" ranks second with a number of nearly 20,000. (This number is relative to the ranking of all new books published by Wuxia Culture Publishing House in July)
