Chapter 7 Sheep's Head and Dog Meat

Another week has passed, and in the past few days, Yu Bai has fully understood a truth, existence is reasonable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From his uncertainty about "Scarlet Years" at the beginning, to the later magazine serialization, and then to publication, Yu Bai was careful along the way, lest his behavior of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep would lead to Scarlet's failure.

But so far, things have been good, and it could be said that it was a big win.

Because at the beginning of the serialization of "Fireworks", there were constantly voices from all sides praising it, but at that time, it was all a small fight, and Yu Bai didn't take it seriously. Now, Yu Bai is indeed a little complacent, from July 12th to the present, "Scarlet" has been sold all over the country until now, and a considerable amount has been sold in just one week.

20,000 copies!

In fact, to be precise, it should be 23,000 copies, but both Wang Tansheng and Yu Bai feel that this fraction is okay to say or not, so what they claim to the outside world is ...... 50,000 copies.

Well, it seems to be a little inconsistent, but when Wang Tansheng told him meaningfully that some of the ditches in the publishing industry were in the ditch, Yu Bai knew that moisture existed everywhere! Even more reasonable!

New author, the new book sold 20,000 copies in the first week on the shelves. I can't say no, I can only say that it's okay, it's out of reach, it's medium-to-top. However, whether it is to pave the way for the next "Triple Gate", or to further improve Yu Bai's fame, the slogan of 50,000 copies must be shouted.

The purpose is to usher in a good start, of course, this data was not said by Wang Tansheng's Changsam City Literature and Art Publishing House, but by a media through other channels to learn the news, and then broke the news.

After the news was exposed, most people were shocked, because no one expected that Yu Bai, who had been silent for several days, would emerge in such a way. And with his work, it is still "The Scarlet Years" that has been criticized by most media people and traditional scholars. In this way, many people are not calm and simply can't bear it.

We are such a large group of people, a work that we despise, a work that we criticize, and now it is still selling good results.

So, from the beginning of the new concept essay to the crimson serialization, the group that attacked Yu Bai was attacked, and after learning the news, they spoke out again.

Shanghai Literature and Art Daily, "A collection of essays similar to a diary for middle school students has been published, and when I heard that it is a collection of essays that combines diaries, I was very skeptical, whether it can be called a collection of essays, because I think it is an insult to the word prose." The content in the form of a diary is irresponsible to readers and the market, I can imagine Yu Bai's eagerness to become famous, but please have a minimum of morality and bottom line as an author. ”

The Bechin Book Business Daily, ""The Scarlet Years" does not know what to say just by its name, and it is full of self-righteous sentences, so that he may not be able to call it a writer. ”

"Looking at this book from the perspective of a middle school teacher, it can be regarded as writing his own characteristics, but from the perspective of a wide reader, there is no doubt that this book does not bring any inspiration and help, at best, it is to see a middle school student squeaking and screaming." ”

……

The rebuttal responses of these local media are relatively polite in Yu Bai's opinion, after all, they are the media.

The media will have scruples, but those traditional writers and some experts and professors have no concerns.

Fang Qing, a member of the Shanghai Writers Association, "is full of bullshit, what he writes may not even be read by himself, don't even think about it, it must be something that the publishing house has made with him in order to make money, the people who read it are harmful to the body and mind, and the people who buy it are harmful to the money, I want to tell Yu Bai, you are still young, study and go to school hard, and you are not qualified to write." ”

Chen Cheng, Professor of Peking Normal School, "Before it was released, this kind of book must not have been published, why? Because I don't see anything good in it, except for emotion and emotion, these are all ethereal, except for a slightly better rhetorical device, there is nothing at all. “

Wang Fengfeng, a freelance writer in Changsam City, "Yu Bai is a high school graduate, an eighteen-year-old boy who has only participated in the competition and written two articles, and I am very curious that he can publish a book. After watching "Scarlet", this curiosity was shattered, because I only saw a person who was selling words, and he didn't have a trace of emotion. Suffice it to say, the whole book lacks a sense of emotion, so it is difficult to imagine what he himself was like. So my advice is, it's not worth buying, and it's not worth reading! ”

……

The negative news from all sides is like a sudden burst of water, not turbulent, but dangerous.

The first to react was Wang Tansheng, who called Yu Bai.

"Did you see the message?"

"I've seen some."

"Then you ......"

"I'm fine, brother, don't worry." Yu Bai smiled, because he understood that Wang Tansheng was worried about himself, worried that he would be hit by these remarks.

Hearing Yu Bai say this, Wang Tansheng remembered that Yu Bai was not ordinarily powerful, others didn't know what he could understand, he was simply a monster.

"I forgot to tell you, there are our own people in there."

"Brother, you're a little unauthentic, even if you praise me, you have to participate in scolding me."

"You don't understand, if you want to raise the first thing you know, now that "Scarlet" has just started to sell, they jumped out and scolded themselves, which is exactly what we want, if it continues like this, I am sure that the sales will only get better and better, and when the time is ripe, "Triple Gate" will have the possibility of becoming an instant hit."

Yu Bai touched his forehead, "Okay, anyway, I'm handing over the book to you, I don't know how to operate, and I don't command blindly, it's all up to you." ”

Hanging up the phone, Yu Bai exhaled deeply, in fact, he was still a little uneasy until now.

This uneasiness was not better until these people jumped out and denounced his "Scarlet" as worthless.

It's not because Yu Bai is cheap, it's not because he wants someone to scold him. It's because the scarlet color is completely from his Yu Bai's hand, and it tells the story of his Yu Bai.

Judging from the current situation, everything is according to the trajectory of the previous life, the people who scolded him are justified, and the people who like him also like the head is Dao, although this part of the people has not yet shown up to support him, but he knows that these people must exist.

In fact, even if Wang Tansheng didn't call today, Yu Bai was very relieved, seeing the big from the small, Yu Bai was not idle these days, he would go to the few bookstores in Qiaoping County every day.

The purpose is to check the sales of "Scarlet", and after a few days, although the sales momentum is not very strong, it is strong in the long run, and people will buy it every day, and it is at a speed that can be seen by the naked eye. There are a total of five bookstores in Qiaoping County, and after understanding, they only get less than a hundred books each time, and even so, they will enter again in two or three days.

After coming two or three times, the purchase volume will naturally increase.

What reassures Yu Bai even more is that more and more people are buying this book day by day, and in many cases, several little girls come to buy it together.

Looking at the way they talk and laugh, you can see how important word-of-mouth is.

Then he took a copy of "Scarlet Years" he bought on the bookshelf in his hand, sat at the desk and flipped through it. I hadn't had this experience before, and I didn't know what it would be like to look at my published book.

But now he understands that this feeling is very strange, obviously these words are written by him word by word, but now they have become square words printed on the book, typesetting, editing, as if giving a new life.

As soon as he didn't look at it, Yu Bai suddenly received a phone call, and saw that it was from the 8th, and Yu Bai picked it up without thinking about it.

"What's wrong with No. 8, shouldn't it be my brother?"

"Something happened to Chubby."
