Oriental Press.
The phone keeps ringing, and the employees can't answer it!
"It's urging again!"
"There are 4,000 copies of "The Siege of the City" over there in the Book Building!"
"The first print is no longer enough to sell, add it!"
"I've already contacted the factory!"
"Oh, this is too hot, oh my god!"
"200,000 first prints, is this going to be sold out on the same day?"
"Impossible, right?"
"How is it impossible, according to the data that has just been fed back by the major bookstores, the sales of "The Siege" have already been exhausted by 70 percent of the inventory, and if it continues like this, it will be sold out in the evening! 200,000 yuan will be sold out on the same day? In the publishing industry, no one has ever done this!"
200,000 first prints, that's a lot!
For general new writers, 120,000 first prints are very common, only some best-selling authors' new books, publishers dare to mention 100,000 in the first printing, and it is calculated according to the amount of a year, now the publishing industry is sluggish, and the impact of the Internet is great, and it is already a relatively best-selling novel that can sell 100,000 copies a year, but no one from the Oriental Publishing House thought that the 200,000 first prints of "The Siege" are not enough to read, and they are not enough to sell in a day!
Lose your marbles!
It's all crazy!
Over there, a female editor walked briskly.
Everyone smiled and looked away.
"Xiao Li!"
"Well done!"
"You've made a meritorious service again!"
"Editor Li, spirit!"
Saying that, some people even took the lead in applauding!
Li Mei was a little embarrassed, "Teacher Zhang took care of us, and I didn't do anything." β
Li Mei is the newcomer to the publishing house who gnawed Zhang Ye at the beginning, at that time Zhang Ye had just broken up with a previous publishing house, and many people were robbing him, and the Oriental Publishing House had no hope at all, because they were not first-class in the industry, and the scale was not large, so they randomly symbolically sent Li Mei, a newcomer, to give it a try, no one expected that Li Mei actually gnawed it down, and even talked to Zhang Ye's mother, and then all the work and contact related to publishing on Zhang Ye's side were handed over to Li Mei to discuss, and there were no accidents in the past two yearsγ Many publishing houses are digging Zhang Ye and want to get a piece of the pie, but they don't know what the hell they have seen, Zhang Ye has only cooperated with Oriental Publishing House these days, and has never signed the copyright of the book to a second publishing house, and "The Siege" is the same!
Li Mei has become a celebrity in the industry!
Since then, Oriental Publishing House has also gained a firm foothold in the industry!
Editor-in-Chief's Office.
Li Mei knocked on the door and came in, "Editor-in-chief, are you looking for me?"
When the editor-in-chief saw that it was her, he immediately pressed his hand with a pleasant face, "Xiao Li is here, sit down, what kind of water do you drink? I have good tea here." β
Li Mei hurriedly waved her hand, "No, no, no." β
The editor-in-chief laughed, "Have you seen the sales of "The Siege"?"
"See. Li Mei was also very happy.
"You can really do it!" The editor-in-chief said with relief: "I thought I couldn't take it down this time, who would have thought that Mr. Zhang would still give us a new book!"
Li Mei said: "Mr. Zhang is actually very easy to talk to, not as foul-tempered as the outside world rumores, as long as the cooperation with him is relatively smooth, he will not change owners, and he doesn't care much about how much royalties are, he doesn't care if it's a little more, he's just such a person." β
"It's you who maintain it well. The editor-in-chief smiled: "How many years have you been in the publishing house?"
Li Mei calculated, "It's been more than three years." β
The editor-in-chief nodded, "The above decided to give you more courage." β
Li Mei was stunned: "Huh?"
The editor-in-chief smiled, "Tomorrow will start the distribution department, you can take over." β
Distribution?
The number one?
Li Mei was a little confused!
β¦β¦
"Siege" is selling well!
During the day, many people get the book and look through it as soon as possible.
Sometimes, if a book sells well, it doesn't mean that the book is good-looking, because there are too many reasons that affect the sales of a book, such as publicity, such as the fame of the writer, "The Siege" can have today's madness, to put it bluntly, it is all based on Zhang Ye's personal fame, just like Zhang Yuanqi's seven kings and queens If a book is published, the sales should not be bad, but what the content is, it depends on the inside.
North.
Yao Jiancai's daughter Yao Mi ran back.
"I got it!"
"How many?"
"My mom just sent three copies!"
"Give me a copy!"
"I want it too!"
"I don't know if it's good-looking or not. β
"Our Chinese teacher's book, can it not look good!" Yao Mi, who said this sentence, is actually not very confident, long-form, marriage themes, pure literature, these are the first time for Zhang Ye, and the "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is completely two concepts, and she doesn't know what the content is.
So everyone in the dormitory sat together and looked at it.
That's two or three hours.
Suddenly, one of the roommates exclaimed, "Oh my God!"
Yao Mi was also shocked, "This, this is also too good-looking!"
The girl next to her said: "What do you mean by being good-looking? This adjective is too vulgar to describe this book at all!"
Yao Mi asked, "What adjectives do you use?"
The girl said loudly: "This is God!"
Yes!
Write God!
Several roommates have a feeling of amazement!
β¦β¦
Zhang Xia's house.
Grandma Zhang leaned back on the recliner and read a book.
Her son called her several times to take her medicine, but she didn't hear it.
"Mom. β
"Huh?"
"It's time to take your medicine. β
"Oh, good. β
"What are you reading, so focused?"
"Hehe, "Siege". β
"Zhang Ye's new book, is it good?"
Zhang Xia hesitated for a moment and gave an evaluation that he thought was the most appropriate, "It's not a question of whether it's good-looking or not, it's shocking!"
His son uh, "Then I'll take a look too." β
Zhang Xia said with a smile: "You don't learn when you're young, and you can't calm down, you can't understand the doors and cultural languages in this book, this is a book written by people with great wisdom, this Xiao Zhang is really amazing, if he goes to the international literary scene in the future, I'm afraid he will scare a large number of foreigners to death, foreigners don't know that we have such a genius in China." β
After drinking the medicine, Zhang Xia continued to read "The Siege" with her arms, and did not move for a whole day.
β¦β¦
A writer's studio.
The writer Chen Xian also got the book, which was brought back by a person in his studio, but he didn't read it and threw it aside.
"Teacher Chen, the Qilu Award ...... in the evening"
"Resign yourself to fate, this can't be asked. β
"We should hope for a lot. β
"I hope no one can say until the end. β
"Do you think Zhang Ye has any hope of taking it?"
"He wrote pure literature?"
Chen Xian shook his head, in the field of poetry, I am afraid that no one in the entire domestic literary world has done Zhang Ye, this has been verified countless times, but when it comes to literary novels, when it comes to long pure literature, none of them are afraid of Zhang Ye, because no one has ever seen him write this kind of book, so he doesn't take it very seriously, but it is because the literary world sees that the Yin Hong Award is not given to Zhang Ye and there is too much controversy, so he was forced to give him a nomination for the Qilu Award, and it is only a shortlisted nomination, of course, it is impossible for the Qilu Award to be awarded to him.
But the next phone call made Chen Xian suddenly have a bad premonition.
The call was from an old friend.
"Old Yu?"
"Chen Xian, did you get "The Siege"?"
"There's a copy, what's wrong?"
"Did you see it?"
"What are you looking at it for?"
There was silence for two seconds, "I suggest, you can take a look." β
Chen Xian was stunned, "...... Good. β
Hanging the line, he immediately found the book and turned the first page.
An hour later, Chen Xian's face changed, he closed the book, he took a deep breath, and suddenly felt a little bitter in his throat, as if he had taken Chinese medicine!
Did he write pure literature?
Thinking of the question I just gave, I can now answer it!
Yes!
He really wrote it!
Chen Xian was really shocked, even if he was also a member of the literary world that denounced Zhang Ye back then, even if he had great prejudice against Zhang Ye, he was still shocked by this book!
How could there be such a book in the world?
How can there be such a person in the world? )
