Chapter 118 of the text volume is like fire, not fire

Next chapter

It is precisely because of the lack of publicity that it has given some book lovers a surprise.

Without serialization, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" suddenly went on the market, like a candy falling from the sky.

However, what makes Zhongli and Lao Wei a little different is that the sales in the first three days did not show the expected blowout. Although the number of 30,000 copies sold from the official bookstore and the efforts of the magazine itself are estimated to exceed 50,000, which is terrifying enough, it still does not match psychological expectations.

For this reason, the two went to a nearby Bowen bookstore to step on it.

In the supermarket-like sales hall, Oriental Culture gets a small counter, and four or five readers are standing in front of the counter to bury their heads in the book.

Some read a few pages and hurriedly paid and left, while others stood there motionless.

Zhongli and Lao Wei looked at each other and smiled.

"Well, I said, I can't be so far behind my readers. Lao Wei said with a smile.

"Each type of reader is a relatively loyal and closed circle, Xiao Zhe has no historical works before, and it takes a process to accept it. ”

Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief, and with the support of the Bowen Bookstore, he finally provided a buffer time for his own development.

In the next few days, the sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" were still tepid.

40,000, 50,000, 70,000......

The cooperation between the two parties also includes the agency of Oriental magazine, which was placed as a best-selling journal by the bookstore.

For all those who are involved in Oriental culture, this magazine is fundamental.

The continued popularity of "White Hair", the maturity of the sales outlets of Bowen Bookstore, and the sales of the new issue of the magazine did not cause a huge decline, but were basically flat.

A large chain of bookstores was able to offset the impact of all the agents leaving, and Zhongli was even more determined to develop himself.

……

The first thing that set off a new round of discussion was still the serialized content of "White Hair".

What touches people's hearts is naturally the emotional destination of Zhuo Yihang and Lian Nishang.

At present, in China, the most convenient way to communicate in real time is the Internet, and the most convenient way on the Internet is the talk group and the storytelling forum. Seeing "Childe Searching for Each Other" and "Single-mindedly Looking for Yiren" twice, many netizens blocked the big stone in their hearts as if it had been moved away in an instant.

"Why did you go earlier?" the female reader was delighted.

"How good it was to leave hand in hand at the beginning, people only thought of chasing after them left, and they were completely to blame!"

"This kind of man deserves to be lonely all his life!"

“…… It's not good to say this, Zhuo Yihang also has his own difficulties, and Wudang cultivated him after all. The male reader responded weakly.

"Your mother raised you, so she can drive your daughter-in-law away at will?"

“…… When I didn't say it!"

For people who can read martial arts as romance, or even mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, reasoning must not make sense, and the smart ones hold back decisively.

The fool became the main debater, and the quarrel was red-faced.

In addition, Zhongli also did a strange thing that made people in the industry jaw-dropping.

The fifteenth issue of "Oriental" has arrived, and because the channels have been weak, it is very difficult for more than a dozen administrative districts to order magazines, and many people can only listen to some hot episodes on the Internet. With the help of this Internet craze and the support of the bookstore, it was reissued.

It is inevitable to attract scolding, and there are more cheers.

And let the art editor design two posters, "Childe Looking for Yiren" and "Red Face and White Hair" bundled sales.

The former is likely to be hung behind a dartboard.

Many readers who have subscribed like it, so they have to scold and buy it again.

The magazine announced that this is for readers who have not subscribed as scheduled before.

"Then don't take any money!"

It's a pity that Oriental Culture is currently operated by Zhongli, and if it was Shen Zhe, it might really be given away.

……

Before the establishment of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Bowen Bookstore has always played the role of a barometer of the publishing industry.

As the largest bookstore chain in China, after the release of any book or periodical, you can get an idea just by looking at the number of sales in this bookstore.

It was only later that the official number of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles became more detailed and authoritative, and the attention of the industry began to weaken.

After another two days, a book began to attract attention.

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" seems a little unusual in the number jù officially announced by the bookstore.

If books are also regarded as a commodity, from experience, there will be peaks and troughs in the early sales situation, which should be in a wavy shape.

But the book's sales curve has been on the rise.

"It's a bit unexpected, our old rivals help each other, and the goal can't be achieved. Manager Han sighed.

The person who spoke to him was Director Li of "Chinese Youth".

"Manager Han, don't we have a tacit understanding with Xingchen Media, why do we want to meddle in this matter?"

Manager Han shook his head slightly: "The opponent is not fake, and it is not false that there is a tacit understanding, but you only know one and not the other." The situation in our country is placed here, and there can be no dominance in any industry, and the elite and the public will not agree. At the beginning, Xingchen Ocean was an example, and once such a large cultural group was divided, you wouldn't think that there was really any contradiction that could not be resolved. ”

Director Li was stunned and said, "Is it voluntary?"

"Then who knows, it is the company's upper level decision. Manager Han paced a few steps and said, "However, there is no doubt that our two families will coexist, and it is also a practical need to compete with each other, and this time it is still a good thing to say." ”

"Magazine ......"

Manager Han didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly laughed and said, "It's a big fuss, do you really think martial arts can have a great impact?"

Director Li said: "But the impact of "White Hair" is not small......

"A novel can't support a single genre, the author's name is Shen Zhe, can he create homogeneous works in the future, or even better?"

"I guess he can't guarantee it. Director Li said with a smile.

……

Zhongli's judgment of "need for process" was skewed again, and on the day he said this, a wave of comments appeared on the Internet.

The first to react to "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was Shen Zhe's original book fan group.

"Originally, I simply supported Shen Da, but after reading it, I realized that Shen Da didn't need to support ...... at all" Someone in the group spoke out.

"Me too, I glanced at it casually and read it in one sitting!"

"Alas, I'm really convinced of Shen Da, I rarely read historical works, it's too difficult to read, this time I watched it all night!"

"Okay, don't talk about that, let's do it. ”

"Let those nerds see and understand, Shen Da's books are just happy to see, I decided to be addicted to it for the rest of my life!"

――"If you haven't read this book, you don't really know Zhu Yuanzhang"

There was also a variety of sensational headlines on the forum.

Book fans spontaneously organized themselves to help with publicity, and for a while, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" could be seen everywhere.

The forum was the first to suffer, and it was almost swiped.

Campus BBS also won the recruitment.

-- This is not history, this is inspiration

-- It completely subverted my view of the Ming Dynasty

――Looking forward to the next listing of Shen Da, it is said that it should be the Yongle Emperor, and it is rare to find the two heroes of the founding country

Due to the short time and relatively few long-form book reviews, some scattered opinions and feelings about the book began to emerge.

The first printing of one million copies, the remaining 700,000 sold out in three days!

The largest agent, Bowen Bookstore, is out of stock.

"The second batch of two million," Zhongli said as calmly as possible when contacting the printing house: "Two million, don't make a mistake." ”
