Chapter 0184: Mysterious Flying Clouds
The launch was a success.
In fact, as long as you give a full car and a gift, 99.9% of the press conference is a success.
The organizers got the media publicity, the reporters got the benefits, and the media got the page fees, and they were all happy.
However, there are several types of successful press conferences, one is that the reporters take the bus and leave without even bothering to ask questions, and the manuscript is naturally written by the organizer, and the reporters only need to sign their names.
The other is a question that everyone is interested in, and you have to break the casserole to ask the end, and the manuscript will never use the format provided by the organizer, and the published manuscript must have a sensational title.
The latter may be more successful than the former in a sense, but it is not known whether the communication effect is good or bad.
The "Zhu Xian" press conference is the latter, the previous waves are not shocked, everything indicates that this is a very ordinary press conference, and the "success" makes most of the participants drowsy.
When it came to the free questioning session, the situation changed.
The first person to be named and asked was the reporter of the cultural edition of "Today's Consumption Herald", he got up and said: "I want to ask Mr. Liu of Chunwen Publishing House, the author of this "Zhu Xian", Mr. Zhu Yunfei is also said to be the author of the martial arts novel "Liancheng Jue" that was popular on the streets and alleys a while ago, why didn't he attend the press conference today, is there anything dissatisfied with the publication of this book?"
That's a sharp question.
It's no wonder that reporters have such questions, who made the name "Flying by the Clouds" very popular recently.
At the time of "Mandarin Duck Knife", almost no one knew who Zhuyunfei was, and at most they thought that the novel written by this person was very good.
By the time of "Liancheng Jue", with the hot sales of "Wuxia Weekly", many people began to notice the words "flying in the clouds".
"Martial Arts Weekly" is becoming more and more popular, "Liancheng Jue" has become a phenomenal work that everyone must know in the martial arts circle, and Zhuyunfei has gradually become a celebrity in the circle.
Especially after Yang Muxia published an article speculating on the identity of Zhuyunfei, although many ordinary readers don't care too much about what kind of identity Zhuyunfei is, the reporters have a keen sense of smell and feel that this is a news point that can be chased.
It's a pity that they couldn't find any information about Zhuyunfei at all, but they unexpectedly found that Zhuyunfei had also serialized three novels in the Singularity Literature Forum.
"Zhu Xian" is a romance fairy, "Blasphemy" is a subversive fantasy, "Celebrating More Than Years" is a journey through martial arts, the three novels have very different styles, and "Liancheng Jue" is more like a product of two different worlds, which has aroused great interest among reporters.
But they couldn't find any news related to Zhuyunfei on the Singularity Literature Forum, at most they heard some gossip when they inquired in the martial arts circle, which was completely not enough to issue a press release.
The more mysterious the clouds fly, the more interested the journalists become.
Recently, the serialization of "Liancheng Jue" ended, and I thought that the heat of chasing clouds would come to an end temporarily. But after the news of the big plunge in the sales of "Wuxia Weekly" came out, the reporters came to the momentum again.
One person and one work, it only took more than two months to push the dying "Martial Arts Weekly" to the level of a first-class magazine, which is very good!
One person and one work, as soon as it ends, the first-class "Martial Arts Weekly" will be beaten back to its original shape, which is even better!
The reporters are very interested in these gossip news, and many of the people who came today are rushing to the clouds, hoping to see his true face.
But when they came, they found out that there was no author at the book launch, and they couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and the reporter couldn't help but be the first to jump out and ask questions.
Liu Wenhu, who was sitting on the stage, was prepared, and said with a slight smile: "The question raised by this reporter friend is very sharp, please sit down and listen to me explain slowly." ”
He took a sip of water, and then said slowly: "Mr. Zhuyunfei is a phenomenal new writer who has risen this year, and it is a new discovery in the literary world. Long before his martial arts novels "Mandarin Duck Knife" and "Liancheng Jue" were published in "Martial Arts Weekly", the editor of our company had already discovered his "Zhu Xian" on the Internet and got in touch. ”
"Our Chunwen Publishing House has always paid attention to discovering and cultivating new authors, and in the process of communicating with Mr. Zhuyunfei, "Mandarin Duck Knife" and "Liancheng Jue" have created very good results, and also made his name popular all over the country. I have to say that the publication of "Zhu Xian" actually borrowed a little light. ”
"Mr. Liu, what I'm asking is why Mr. Zhu Yunfei didn't attend the press conference, can you please answer the question directly?" The reporter who asked the question was a little dissatisfied with Liu Wenhu's care.
Liu Wenhu smiled: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." There is a reason why Mr. Zhuyunfei is absent today. He is currently working on two new works, and he is also planning several others, which is very troublesome. And he himself is not a person who likes to show his head, and prefers to use his works rather than his words. I want people to understand the personality of a talented author, and I want people to focus on the work itself. ”
This remark was very official, equivalent to saying nothing, and the reporters were naturally not satisfied, and asked questions one after another.
Some people ask how much royalties are and what are the number of first prints.
Someone asked if Zhuyunfei hadn't become famous when he signed the contract, and now that "Liancheng Jue" is so popular, will the royalties of the next volume of "Zhu Xian" be higher.
Liu Wenhu gave a series of figures, the number of first prints and everything was printed on the book and could not be hidden, but the royalties were silent on the grounds of trade secrets, and only said that Zhou Lin was given a very good number, and both parties were very satisfied.
Faced with Liu Wenhu, an old fox, the reporters couldn't ask anything after repeated interrogations, so they could only ask a few more questions about sales.
Yang Muxia laughed and said, "If they knew that the eighteen-year-old boy behind them was Zhuyunfei, would they be shocked by the big teeth?"
"Let the dentist get some rest. Zhou Lin pursed his lips, "Professor Yang, don't reveal my identity." ”
"As long as you deliver on time, my character will always be strong. Yang Muxia said with a sly smile.
"It's a deal. ”
At the end of the press conference, the reporters left with the carriage and horse expenses and gifts, the staff of the publishing house stayed to clean up the venue, and Liu Wenhu came to Zhou Lin under the guidance of Zhu Zifeng.
"Mr. Zhu, hello, hello! I have heard of the famous name for a long time, and when I see it today, it is better to meet if I am really famous!" Liu Wenhu greeted him enthusiastically, and his face did not show the "murderous" attitude that he had wanted to ban Zhou Lin.
