Chapter 51: The Treatment of Newcomers
"I'll see. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Yu Jingyi took the statistical table handed over by Xiao Wei, swept it at a glance, and sure enough, he found that on Friday, the sales curve of "The Little Prince", which originally showed a downward trend, rose in vain.
Yu Jingyi took another look at the daily sales of "The Little Prince":
17th: 100,000 copies (sold out).
18th: 110,000 copies (sold out, insufficient supply).
……
Twenty-one: 64,367 volumes.
22nd: 61,532 volumes.
23rd: 121001 volumes.
The data before the 22nd were normal, showing a trend of rising first and then falling, except that the number of sales was higher than that of other books, and "The Little Prince" was no different from previous books. But on the 23rd, the sales data suddenly popped up again.
The problem lies in the 23rd, so what happened to the 23rd will make the sales that were already declining suddenly come to a big rebound?
Yu Jingyi held the statistical table in his left hand, clubbed his right arm on the table, supported his head with his fist, and rubbed his temples with his thumb.
"Have you called the school bookstore and asked?" Yu Jingyi handed the statistical table in his hand to Zheng Shoudao, and then asked Xiao Wei.
"I didn't realize this just now, I haven't asked yet, I'll ask as soon as the meeting is over." Xiao Wei spoke.
Indeed, he only remembered this statistical table that he had printed out in the morning after Yu Jingyi said that the sales of Xuefu Bookstore were tired.
"Don't wait for the meeting to end, you can go and ask now, isn't this what this meeting is for?" Yu Jingyi spoke.
He pondered a question in his heart, that is, whether it was just the rebound in the sales of one bookstore, or whether the sales of "The Little Prince" in major bookstores across the country had suddenly increased.
"Okay, I'll call the school bookstore right now to find out what is going on." Xiao Wei said and walked out.
"Xiao Li, what is the situation of the phone order you received over there?" Xiao Wei left, Yu Jingyi pondered and lectured, and asked Li Yide again.
Li Yide said when he heard this: "There are a lot of calls every day to urge the goods, but because of our printing speed, a big bookstore has been responding that the supply can't keep up, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, there were indeed more calls yesterday than in other days, and I also received a lot of calls from bookstores just before I came to the meeting!" ”
When Yu Jingyi heard this, his middle finger and index finger tapped lightly on the table, and his brows were furrowed, which was much worse just now.
Now, he really can't figure it out, because of printing, transportation and other reasons, the urging calls received by Li Yide are now impossible to count, and there is not much reference value.
So he can't tell now that all bookstores had the same rebound in sales yesterday as Xuefu bookstores.
Also, because he doesn't know the reason for the sudden rebound in sales yesterday, he doesn't know how much impact this rebound can bring, whether it was just yesterday's day, or will it continue to ferment, so that the sales of "The Little Prince" will soar again.
Because he didn't know any of the above, it was difficult for him to make a decision on the number of additional prints in the next step.
Just when Yu Jingyi was frowning and everyone was anxiously waiting for the atmosphere to come out, Wang Jingya pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
Wang Jingya walked up to Yu Jingyi and said, "Editor-in-chief, I think I found the reason." ”
"Oh, what's going on?" When Yu Jingyi heard this, he immediately sat up straight.
The main persons in charge of various departments present also looked at Wang Jingya.
"Editor-in-chief, look at this." Wang Jingya handed a few newspapers in her hand to Yu Jingyi.
"People's Daily?" Yu Jingyi took a stack of newspapers handed over by Wang Jingya with some suspicion, and the first one was the People's Daily.
"Editor-in-chief, look." Wang Jingya pointed to an article in the newspaper.
In fact, without Wang Jingya's finger, Yu Jingyi had already seen that article, because it was too conspicuous.
Not only is the layout of this article conspicuous, and the font size is conspicuous, but also because the person who wrote this article is too conspicuous for the publishing industry to say that it is brilliant -- because this person is Yang Zhenyun.
Speaking of Yang Zhenyun, perhaps most people will think that he single-handedly excavated the king of today's three bestsellers, or as long as the article is commented on by him, it will become popular, and so on.
As everyone knows, Yang Zhenyun has made four pioneering contributions to the domestic contemporary literary scene:
In 1975, Yang Zhenyun combined the knowledge of rhetoric with the knowledge of fun, and put forward the theory of "Xiuquxue" through repeated research. Zhu Baoquan, former director of the Institute of Linguistics of the Academy of Social Sciences and a famous master of linguistics, said: "Xiuquxue is an innovative work that fills a gap in literary theory. ”
In 1978, Yang Zhenyun put forward the theory of "image poetry", which made a new development of contemporary image poetry. He himself has been praised by poets, writers, and scholars as "a genius in the poetry world", "a spokesperson for contemporary image poetry", and "Yang Zhenyun's poems do have innovative elements." "The pioneer of contemporary graphic poetry in mainland China", "the promoter and leader of contemporary graphic poetry in mainland China". ", "The First Person of Contemporary Graphic Poetry", etc., his works have been selected as teaching materials by some universities and middle schools at home and abroad, and have a far-reaching impact!
In 1980, Yang Zhenyun proposed China's first literary creation convention, the New Literary Creation Convention, which was of epoch-making significance.
In 1982, Yang Zhenyun proposed the first evaluation criteria for modern Chinese poetry, prose and novels, "Evaluation Criteria for Modern Poetry, Novels and Prose", which has a strong guiding role. Until now, this standard is still the most systematic, comprehensive, in-depth and operational evaluation standard for modern Chinese poetry, prose and novels in China.
Although with the passage of time, many people later said that Yang Zhenyun's 'four major contributions' had shortcomings or mistakes of one kind or another. However, Yang Zhenyun's 'groundbreaking' in the contemporary literary world is shining, and his contribution to the contemporary literary world, or influence, cannot be denied by anyone who has the right to speak today, and his contribution to the vast number of literati and readers in China continues to have a subtle effect.
There is no doubt that Yang Zhenyun is a well-deserved Taishan Beidou in the domestic literary world!
It is precisely because of this that many people do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask Yang Zhenyun to help evaluate his works or help recommend them.
There are even rumors that someone once offered a sky-high price of 500,000 words and begged him to write a review, but Yang Zhenyun ignored it and didn't even bother to say no.
Unless it's a young author he particularly admires, or an old friend or something, he will write a review.
However, now, he published an article in the "People's Daily" to promote Qin Ge's "The Little Prince", which shows how optimistic he is about Qin Ge and the "Little Prince" written by Qin Ge.
"It's, it's true!" Yu Jingyi looked at Wang Jingya with some incredulity.
"I can't believe it, but I've just confirmed it, and it's true!" Wang Jingya replied in the affirmative.
They didn't know that Qin Ge and Yang Zhenyun had a long relationship, so now they all thought that this was just a comment written by Yang Zhenyun himself because he admired Qin Ge.
Of course, Yang Zhenyun must have written this comment because he admired Qin Ge's literary talents, but there was another reason why Yang Zhenyun would not say anything to anyone.
In front of the conference table, the heads of various departments listened to the conversation between Wang Jingya and Yu Jingyi and looked at each other, what is the situation?
They all tried to stretch their necks and stared at the newspaper in Yu Jingyi's hand, wanting to see what the content of the newspaper was, but helplessly, Yu Jingyi was holding the newspaper with both hands and reading it, and there was nothing of value on the side they saw.
"Sure enough, it's Professor Yang, then everything makes sense." After a while, Yu Jingyi put down the newspaper and sighed.
Now that things are clear, there are so many examples in front of him, and he can't question it at all, and the sales of "The Little Prince" rebounded because of Professor Yang Zhenyun's article.
"Professor Yang?" The people in charge guessed in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at Yu Jingyi's expression; I thought of that person, but no one could believe it.
"Editor-in-chief, if you look at it next, I'm afraid it's not just that." Wang Jingya saw Yu Jingyi put down the newspaper, so she spoke.
"Huh? Looking down next? And also? Yu Jingyi picked up the newspaper again when he heard this.
"I mean other newspapers." Wang Jingya opened her mouth and motioned for Yu Jingyi to look down.
"Oh? Other newspapers? Is there any more article by Professor Yang? Yu Jingyi asked while taking away the newspaper of the People's Daily.
"No, Professor Yang only has one article, which was published in the People's Daily, but there are countless disciples of Professor Yang in today's literary world, and they have also written comments, although they can't reach Professor Yang's influence, but the effect is not bad." Wang Jingya said.
"Who are they?" Yu Jingyi took a look at the newspaper under the People's Daily, it was a piece of [Beijing Morning Post] called "The Glory of a Star - Reading "The Little Prince" with Feelings", and also commented on "The Little Prince", but the critic is not very famous, and he is an author who belongs to the level of third-tier to second-tier writers.
"A lot, like Lin Xuanran, Luo Yunfei, Fang Tong, and Wang Xiaowu, they also commented." Wang Jingya said.
"What! One of the three best-selling kings does not fall? ”
"Oh my God! What's going on? ”
"This! This! Is this a newcomer's treatment! ”
"This guy is gone what a dog. luck! ”
In the conference room, after hearing the names of Wang Jingya, everyone finally stopped calming down and began to discuss incredibly.
"This ......" Yu Jingyi was also stunned in his seat, this treatment is indeed not ordinarily high.
A newcomer publishes a book for the first time, it can be said that half of the literary world has been dispatched today, who else has enjoyed this treatment?
ps: I said that the second chapter would be late, but I didn't expect it to be late until now...... I'm embarrassed myself, but I still have to continue to ask for recommendation votes and collections, please everyone, I'll go to sleep first, good night, uh...... Good morning!
