Chapter 306: Repetition of Old Techniques (I)
PS: The second update ~ Thank you for your support ~
At the end of April, the propaganda of the five girls was carried out in an orderly manner, like a breeze in spring, invisibly lingering in people's field of vision. Except for Quan Xiaosheng, who was still in retreat and practicing, waiting for the call of the first program recording, the other four were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.
And Park Ji-sub also started his new book promotion plan, and the sales of "A Story More Sad Than Sadness" are quite pertinent, not good, not bad! Anyway, it's a good novel. It's just that some people who know the inside story understand that the original intention of this book is probably not for sales or marketing.
In this context, Citrine's second suspense mystery novel was released, this time not in the form of the Internet, but the first physical suspense mystery novel in the true sense.
After the news spread, Citrine's fan club suddenly became like a fryer. The novel "After School" is fairly well written, but strictly speaking, it is the level of an average writer. And Citrine's almost every novel is a big hit, and such a sudden and bright transformation to release this type of novel really makes people a little doubtful that the other party can handle it.
Mystery novels are different from the fantasy genre in that they involve a wide range of knowledge, and the portrayal of characters, the connection of plots, and the description of things are very demanding. And while making the reader unexpected, it is also necessary to ensure the anticipation of the plot!
Citrine is only fourteen years old, and her writing and imagination are adequate, but experience and knowledge are not something that can be quickly accumulated by talent.
Not only did the outside world question it, but even the people around Park Ji-sub were not at ease.
"Can this kind of fiction work?" Wu Xijie looked at Park Ji-sub with a somewhat weak face and said, "Suddenly such a transformation will kill people." ”
"Just try, maybe there's a surprise?" Park Ji-sub tapped his fingers on the keyboard, the novel had been started since the end of "A Story Sadder Than Sadness", but he never told it.
"Hey, now the company is on the rise, and you are our main means...... In case ......" Wu Xijie didn't dare to say it.
Hearing this, Park Ji-sub raised his eyebrows. He stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look at Wu Xijie with a worried face, and suddenly felt a little helpless. With a sigh, Park Ji-sub knocked on the table. Without hurry, he said: "The propaganda aspect is in place, just wait for the start." ”
"The company also has Jeon Baolan and Lee Joon-gi, as well as "Chaser" and these things as a foreshadowing, even if I fail this book! At best, it's just for people to scold me. Park Ji-sub put on a smile and said, "YG has already started to make a big splash, and when the time comes." With BIGBANG as a signboard, the blockade of S.M can also be made a failure. ”
"I know, it's just that your golden sign is gone." Wu Xijie retorted a little unwillingly.
"It's gone, it's gone!" Park Ji-sub said with a relaxed face.
Oh Seok-jae suddenly became weak, and sometimes it was really difficult for him to understand Park Ji-sub's thoughts. After seeing that Park Ji-sub actually started to code words seriously again, he suddenly smiled bitterly. I really envy this guy's psychological quality, and sometimes Oh Seok-jie even suspects that even if Citrine.P goes out of business, Park Ji-sub doesn't react at all.
"You're the boss, you're the biggest."
In the end, Wu Xijie could only throw down such a sentence. With a breathless face, he was ready to leave.
Park Ji-sub sneered, called out to Wu Xijie, who was about to leave, and said lightly: "When I fail, it's not too late for you to be angry again." ”
Wu Xijie was stunned, and then left the office thoughtfully. In the past, Park Ji-sub has made a lot of ridiculous decisions, but there have been no cases of failure. After walking out of the office, Wu Xijie suddenly felt settled. No matter if he falls apart, Park Ji-sub shouldn't do stupid things.
At the beginning of May, the pre-sale of the new book began, and at the same time! A short story also appeared on the promotional poster.
'Until the end. I don't regret it, but you've made all my setups go back in vain! ’
A simple sentence makes readers think about it, and the media also starts to guess. It's a joy for the major publishers. It's nothing in one sentence, but there are many meanings revealed in it. This sentence was said by the protagonist Shi Gu, and the first thought people had when they saw this sentence was his words after he was arrested for murder.
It's just that Citrid was quick to respond, and this is a love story cloaked in suspense novels, instantly! Those who gave comments began to reverse. Because if it's love, then this sentence is interesting.
Could it be that the protagonist is soft-hearted? Betrayed by someone you like? Or is it because the protagonist has to kill the person he likes in the end......
In short, various theories began to circulate on the Internet, and those who questioned Citrine seemed to have forgotten their previous thoughts for a short time and joined the army of these inferences.
In the conference room on the third floor of Citrine.P, Tang Bin looked at the documents in his hand and reported unhurriedly: "The guidance of public opinion is very successful, but thanks to your fan base, they seem to have begun to worship you brainlessly, president." ”
"What a good thing!" Park Ji-sub took a sip of the juice, since he stayed up all night and the code word was on fire, Quan Baolan prepared these grapefruit juices for him, it is said that the effect of reducing the fire is good, but the taste is not very good.
"Tomorrow is the new book on the shelves, do you want to have a book signing this time?"
The corners of Tang Bin's mouth trembled, Park Ji-sub's attitude towards fans seems to have always been straightforward, and once he even joked directly with fans, if you don't have money to buy a book, you can borrow it from him!
"Signing meeting......" Park Ji-sub tapped his fingers on the glass, frowned and thought for a while and said, "Yes, by the way, I wrote a single as the theme song of this book, and it's okay to take it out and promote it." ”
"Why didn't you say it before?" Tang Bin looked at Park Ji-sub speechlessly and asked.
"The temporary idea should be to pave the way for future collector's editions." Park Ji-sub said lazily.
Tang Bin opened his mouth and looked at Park Ji-sub in amazement. In the whole of South Korea, I'm afraid there is only one in front of me who can write novels and compose songs.
"Then the matter is decided, you go and arrange it!" Ignoring the other party's strange eyes, Park Ji-sub continued.
Tang Bin nodded, packed up the documents and went out. Park Ji-sub does have an idea for the promotion of the Internet, borrowing topics to hype, and there is no need for media to promote it, directly using social software for marketing, plus the popularity of the name Citrine! It's really saved a lot of money.
But I'm afraid this kind of play won't be so easy in the future, and those companies are not idiots! If you play it once or twice, people won't be able to learn it, but Park Ji-sub has already played it no less than five times, and if he can't figure out any more ways, then he will simply go out of business.
"I wonder if that girl will throw herself into my arms and cry after reading the book?"
In the empty conference room, Park Ji-sub muttered to himself with a wicked smile. But immediately he shook his head, and said with a little bad luck: "It is possible to run in front of me and slap me...... Looks like this girl really made it. (To be continued.) )
