When the Federation of Literary and Art Circles was dissatisfied with the domestic publishing industry, Shen Zhe was already a little numb in surprise.

I still remember the advent of the information age of time and space, and the sales of book publishing quickly dropped from one million to one hundred thousand.

At that time, if one or two million-dollar books appeared during the year, the media exclaimed that this was a revival of the publishing industry, and the sales of 200,000 copies were called bestsellers.

In addition to the fatal blow to the publishing industry caused by e-reading, rampant piracy is the biggest culprit in the shrinking book market.

The Huaxia Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the author feel that a year is not as good as a year, and Shen Zhe feels that this is the spring of writers.

There are nearly 2 billion people in the country, and the readership has almost doubled.

Coupled with the lack of entertainment projects and the improvement of copyright laws at home and abroad, even at a low ebb, there are more than a dozen million-level books every year.

……

It is convenient for others to call themselves, and it is really wise for the ancients to use words.

Now Shen Zhe is replying to a fan's private message, and the fan directly called him "fairy brother" in the private message, which almost gave him goosebumps.

People who are familiar with him generally call him Xiao Zhe, Lin Yuhan calls him Ah Zhe, and Xiao Shen, nicknamed the island owner, Xiao Ke......

At this time, he didn't know that an old man thousands of miles away called him "Doll".

If there is a word, it is much more convenient to call it, except for parents and relatives, no one will shout names or anything, it is scolding.

This fan is obviously a young girl, and the letter said: "Brother Fairy, I like your peach blossom poems so much! But I like "Those Years" the most, how can I write martial arts, I don't like it very much, and I still write romance, okay?"

Shen Zhe replied: "Thank you for your attention, I am preparing an online romance recently, please pay attention to the announcement." ”

replied to several private messages in a row, most of them were asking about the new book, and it seems that the popularity of "Dragon and Tiger Jinghua" has not yet risen.

Su Wei said that his readers were in a frenzy, mainly because a bunch of fans fought on their own.

"Alas, is there another chivalrous man in China?"

"It's very likely, the opening words are amazing, and the writing is also sophisticated, not worse than Lord Sima's level......"

"Why don't I believe that high school students can write such a novel, isn't it?"

Here's where it doesn't work.

"The stinky boy upstairs is going to die, the island owner's humanistic pen is good, let that Sima write a peach blossom poem!"

"Just because you're good at writing poetry doesn't mean you can write mature novels, girl, do you understand?"

"Let's go home to my mother......" another fan chimed in.

"I warn you, I'm not a stinky boy, I take a shower every morning and evening, and I rub baby cream!"

"You've got a cleanliness fetish!"

Suddenly, a bunch of follow-up posts appeared: "Brother Tai upstairs, did you really rub the baby cream?"

"Nima, real talent!"

The mouse scrolled down, and the fans were divided into two groups, one group saw the readers of "Dragon and Tiger Fighting Jinghua", and the other wave was the readers of "Those Years".

"Kneel and beg the island owner to change the ending and let Shen Jiayi divorce!"

Shen Zhe: "......"

It is impossible to change the ending, and then the flavor of the whole book is completely lost.

He couldn't communicate too much with readers, and the following reply was quickly overheaded, and finally the news of the upcoming serialization of a new book on the "Shuowen Review" was released on the announcement, and the type was pure love romance.

I closed the personal section and continued to read the book, and I was going to take some time to code out a chapter in the evening and send it to the forum.

"Look, look, the island is going to release a new book!"

"I've seen the announcement, who can tell me what the forum is for 'saying a literary review'?"

"I can see at a glance that the upstairs is new, and I guess I haven't even read the peach blossom poem, let alone the interview the day before......"

"Well, I admit that I was guided by the martial arts column......"

"Don't talk about irrelevant topics, read the new book that the island owner said, the type of pure love romance, that's the point!"

"Well, it sounds tempting......"

……

The study was quiet, Shen Zhe and Lin Yuhan were busy with their own things, only the sound of turning pages and the rustle of pencils across the manuscript paper.

"Ding Dong!" the email prompt was a little harsh.

Lin Yuhan reminded: "Ah Zhe, there is an email!"

"Well, I heard ......" Shen Zhe put the book aside and clicked on the email, which was the magazine sales estimate sent by Su Wei.

It has been two days since the third issue of "Chinese Youth" was released in May, and the sales situation in the recent regions has been fed back to the marketing department, and the table shows the distribution records of seven or eight regions. The low number is less than 50,000, and the high number has exceeded 200,000.

There are fifty-two administrative regions in the country, and Shen Zhe does not have the previous numbers, and he does not know the growth of sales after reading it.

Besides, the martial arts column is paid according to 1,000 words, and how many copies are issued has no impact on him.

Feel free to browse it, and I'm about to continue reading the book and talk about the news.

"Xiao Shen, have you seen the number jù?"

Shen Zhe said: "See, Sister Su, why are you sending me this, I can't understand it, what does it mean?"

"Oh yes, I forgot to explain it to you," Su Wei said on the other side, "The form was estimated by the marketing department according to the circulation, because many sales points called to ask for reordering, so it is very credible." Let's put it this way, this issue will definitely surpass the sales of "Young People"!"

"Now the editorial department is celebrating, and I will rush to Editor-in-Chief Wei's department to help in a while......"

Shen Zhe replied, "Oh. ”

"What, aren't you excited?" Su Wei was a little surprised.

Shen Zhe hurriedly said: "Excited, Sister Su, is it because of the revenge of being expelled?"

"It's resignation!" Su Wei immediately corrected.

"Okay. Shen Zhe replied, "But it's nothing, isn't there still more than 10 million magazines in China, and it's not interesting to stare at your old rival." ”

"We're just a medium-sized magazine, so tens of millions of copies are too far away, right?" Su Wei smiled bitterly.

Shen Zhe smiled, back then, Old Man Jin could hold up "Ming Pao" with a pen, and now he has so many works of masters, is it strange to support a magazine? But this can't be said to others, believe it or not, it is secondary, you have to treat him as a psychopath.

Shen Zhe said: "It's not important, do you know where the flashpoint is?"

"Where else can it be, it must be your martial arts column, otherwise there will be more than a million new readers suddenly popping up somewhere. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Guess, the editor-in-chief guessed that it should be some chivalrous readers who saw the advertisement and bought the magazine, after all, martial arts and chivalry are similar novels when they hear it. It's only been two days since it was released, and we haven't received feedback from readers, and the editorial office is all of the same. ”

Shen Zhe asked, "Aren't chivalrous novels niche, and there are still so many readers?"

Su Wei replied: "You have a problem with the understanding of niche literary readers, they are generally very loyal, and some readers fall in love with them for a lifetime. ”

Shen Zhe was dumbfounded, he has always been thinking about online literature, and the more popular fantasy and urban novels had the most readers.

However, there are many readers like small types of writers such as workplace, supernatural, military, etc., and on the contrary, they are more loyal, but they can't catch up with popular categories.

Huaxia is still dominated by paper texts, and the readership is even larger, and the niche has also caught up with popular genres. Like Sima Mingfeng's "Desert" series in the chivalrous world, each book can sell more than 300,000 copies, which is the level of bestsellers in the original time and space.

However, it is unknown in Huaxia, and the sales list is inconspicuous.

Su Wei suddenly asked again: "By the way, Xiao Shen, the story behind that fairy tale...... Oh, forget it, I'm an editor, I can't break the rules!"

Shen Zhe asked, "Is it Miss Weiwei who wants to see it?"

"yes, I've read the first three chapters to her four or five times, and every day I ask how Beta is. ”

Shen Zhe said: "Sister Su, part of the manuscript will be written, but I can't hand it over to you, let Weiwei wait for a few more days." ”

"I know, the manuscript hasn't been published, just said casually. It's just that Grandma Zhen's magazine is a semi-monthly magazine, it's too slow, can't you send more per issue?"

Shen Zhe said helplessly: "The children's magazine itself does not have many words, and it has to be accompanied by various illustrations, and the three chapters account for several pages. ”

"Also, the child is not very patient. ”

Shen Zhe said: "There is a message to tell you, Lin Yuhan still remembers, we are making a comic book of "Shuke and Beta", children can understand it themselves, and it is estimated that Grandma Zhen will also like it." ”

"That's a good ...... for daring"

At this time, in the editorial department of "Chinese Youth", when Su Wei and Shen Zhe were chatting, they were also paying attention to related news.

Suddenly there was an exclamation, which attracted colleagues to look at her, Su Wei hurriedly said a word, and at the same time sent a message to Shen Zhe.

"Go to the Southern News Network to take a look, someone from the Chivalry Association has been interviewed, and it is related to you!"
