Chapter 54: The Phantom City is on fire

"'It's absolutely impossible. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info 'My two conditions made that Yin Song jump up in anger. He didn't notice that these two conditions were not sufficient and necessary conditions for me to become a talent, but only necessary conditions. Only if the elite does this, I will think about it. ”

Of course, these two conditions are actually teasing him, and it is estimated that Yingcai will never agree. Aren't they thirsty for talent? I'm disgusted with them. ”

"'You'll regret it', that Assistant Yin put this sentence aside when he finally left." After telling Lan Siyan about this incident, Zhao Yiming made a joke: "I think he said 'I will come back' is classic." ”

However, this joke does not have the background of his original plane, and it seems a little cold.

"Then I'll rest assured, you will definitely be in the first middle school, not to go to Yingcai." Lan Siyan pursed her lips and chuckled: "The 500,000 Hua yuan you said, Aunt Qiao may be able to agree." But it is basically impossible for her to come to the door in person, with her character. ”

Lan Siyan is obviously very familiar with Qiao Anyan, and she is called Aunt Qiao in her words. Hearing her call Qiao Anyan like this, Zhao Yiming was stunned at first, and then thinking about the complicated relationship between dignitaries and dignitaries, it didn't seem strange that the principal of a noble school knew the daughter of the deputy mayor, and Zhao Yiming was relieved.

"She can agree to 500,000! Then I'm at a loss. And when he heard Lan Siyan say this, he immediately exaggerated and pretended to be distressed: "I knew that I would only mention one condition." ”

The way he looked amused Lan Siyan again. But after laughing, she asked a little worriedly: "If you put forward those two conditions, they will sarcastically mock you for not knowing the sky." That won't affect you well, so you have to be prepared. ”

"Hehe, if they do. In the future, they will find out that their actions are actually a slap in the face. ”

On this point, Zhao Yiming is full of confidence.

As the chat deepened, the two people finally became less restrained than at the beginning, becoming more and more natural, and the scope of the chat became wider and wider.

After talking about his fairy tales and poems, the two naturally shifted the topic to today's original protagonist - "Phantom City".

"I think 'Phantom City' is very different from your fairy tales."

Lan Siyan is very careful in his choice of words and sentences: "The language of "Phantom City" is very gorgeous, and the story is also very good, but it always feels too ethereal. I prefer your fairy tales and poems. ”

Zhao Yiming didn't expect Lan Siyan's first comment to be like this.

Faced with this evaluation, he could only smile bitterly.

Lan Siyan's evaluation is very pertinent, and those fairy tales and poems are of course very different from "Phantom City".

Whether it's "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" or "Grimm's Fairy Tales", or those poems. They are all shining pearls in the history of literature and art. The thought is profound, but the language is unpretentious and full of humanistic spirit. Only such works can stand the test of time, be passed down in the world, and be immortal for a hundred years.

And "Phantom City".

"I knew it was going to be popular, it was going to be popular. But it won't be a classic. Zhao Yiming thought for a while and said.

In the previous life, "Phantom City" was subject to too much controversy. In addition to plagiarism, its literary nature is not small. The pros and cons insist on their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone. Until Zhao Yiming's rebirth, he could occasionally see someone fighting on the Internet.

Lan Siyan thought that Zhao Yiming would distinguish "Phantom City", but he didn't expect him to admit it so happily. Although the first two sentences are a bit conceited, the latter sentence is definitely categorical.

And after Zhao Yiming finished evaluating his book, he spread his hands very easily: "Long novel." Do you expect me to write something perfect as a teenager without a single flaw? ”

"Your fairy tales and poems are perfect." Infected by him, Lan Siyan took a sip of juice and retorted mischievously.

"It was a short story with a small word count. I can refine it, and I can even modify it word by word. But if you want to craft a long novel, it takes a lot of effort. I don't have the patience and the time. ”

The reason has been thought of a long time ago, and Zhao Yiming pushed it out.

"Since it's not your elaborate work, why do you think it can be popular?" Lan Siyan asked again, in fact, she already believed that "Phantom City" could become popular. I believe it is not because of Zhao Yiming's self-confidence. is the performance of her own sister, she knows that there are too many young boys and girls like Lan Simiao.

After reading "Phantom City", Lan Siyan quickly saw the characteristics of "Phantom City".

What is the biggest feature of "Phantom City"? Of course, it is a strong literary tone. This is its biggest drawback, but it is also its biggest advantage.

Literary and artistic tone is a complication of adolescence, almost everyone has been poisoned by literary and artistic tone, for those indescribable melancholy and sorrow, almost everyone has been literary and artistic.

And "Phantom City" is definitely a killing effect for boys and girls who are in adolescence and are at the most overflowing moment of literary and artistic tones. In terms of capturing the reader's psychology, "Phantom City" is definitely a success.

Lan Siyan is a good student with excellent academic evaluation, coupled with a good education from his family. Her knowledge and experience have long passed through the original literary and artistic tone, so she has this rational analysis. But the average teenager, hehe.

Zhao Yiming felt that it was difficult to answer Lan Siyan's question, and his greatest confidence was naturally historical experience. But this is not enough for outsiders. Of course, he can't say that this is a secret of his life, and he can only be taken to the grave.

He could only smile and avoid the topic: "Let's wait and see." Facts speak louder than words, and no matter how much you say, it is better to look at the results of "Shonen Weekly". ”

And the results of "Juvenile Weekly" do not need to look at sales statistics. As long as you see Xia Anping's eyes that are red with excitement, you can know.

Xia Anping's "Youth Weekly" is not a bitter role before "Fairy Tale Kingdom" turned over. "Fairy Tale Kingdom" was very difficult to get the publicity fee at the beginning, and it was very compressed. Shonen Weekly's need for funding is a green light.

Xia Anping cautiously spent 500,000 yuan, and the financial side still asked if it was enough. That posture is not enough for another 500,000 no problem.

"You are the prince of ice and snow, you are the last snow"

"The red lotus is about to bloom, the twin stars will eventually converge, and the wheel of fate has begun, please wait patiently."

"I turned the whole world upside down just to correct your reflection."

"Fingers on top of each other, the temperature dissipates and there is a regathering. You're by my side, drawing a sunny day you've never seen before. The voice and smile gradually become stronger and weaker, and the voice and color gradually render. So you stopped five paces away from me, never went far, and never came near. The fog that has not cleared will always be a mystery. ”

In the hype, accompanied by gorgeous, exquisite, and meticulous propaganda language, a strong literary and artistic atmosphere is paved. Coupled with Anger's original fame, it immediately attracted a large number of readers. Especially junior high and high school students, they are almost looking forward to it.

And on August 23, the sales of "Juvenile Weekly" also lived up to expectations, and the sales volume directly exploded.

The most popular section of Shonen Weekly was the comic book edition, which sold about 1 million copies a week. After serializing "Phantom City", the sales volume on the day was a staggering 1.4 million copies. It is directly higher than the usual 400,000 copies.

And this situation also made the editorial office of "Juvenile Weekly" turn their backs. Normally, "Shonen Weekly" only has a print run of 1.1 million copies. This time, Xia Anping made a board, but only 400,000 copies were printed.

1.4 million copies were sold in one day today, and there are only 100,000 copies left to sell tomorrow?

Of course it is not enough, it must be reprinted. But the printing is divided again. For the same old reason, some people think that another 500,000 copies will be printed, but another group of people ask for 1 million copies to be printed.

How much was printed, and finally the ball was kicked to Xia Anping.

Xia Anping was bold this time, he also wanted to print another 1 million copies, but was stopped by Xia Baiyan.

Xia Baiyan went to Jinling to do business, and by the way, he happened to encounter this situation when he visited the old man. It's not that she doesn't believe that "Phantom City" can achieve another great result when she stopped Xia Anping, she just reminded the old man to stabilize the results in his hand first. Now that you have the results, you should be on the safe side and don't take any more risks. The steps can't be so big all at once, and it is safe to print less. It is better to print 500,000 copies twice than to print 1 million copies at once. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if.

Xia Anping thought about it and listened to her daughter's opinion. He added two of his men and divided them by two. Aren't you going to print 500,000 copies in one faction and 1 million copies in the other? Then I'll compromise - 750,000 copies.

This method of harmony with the mud was sprayed wildly by his subordinates.

However, Xia Anping is still crooked. By the time of sales, Shonen Weekly had sold more than 2.24 million copies, leaving only a few thousand copies behind.

That's too precise, isn't it? For a while, Lao Xia's subordinates were shocked as a god, and his prestige was unmatched for a while.

It's just that when Xia Anping called Zhao Yiming to report the good news, he found that this kid was with his granddaughter. Listening to the movement on the phone, it seems that the two of them are still alone.

Xia Anping's old face turned black all of a sudden.

What is thisβ€”stealing chickens, but eating that handful of rice?

Listening to my grandfather's strange tone.

Lan Siyan hurriedly snatched the phone over and explained: "Grandpa, his "Phantom City" is finished. I asked him to read the manuscript in advance. By the way, I'm not alone, Miao Miao is also with me. ”

As she spoke, she waved to Lan Simiao, who was not far away, signaling her to come over. And Zhao Yiming finally understood why Lan Siyan always looked behind him. It turns out that there is a small thing in the back.

Lan Simiao made a grimace at Zhao Yiming, and then walked to her sister's side: "Hehe, Grandpa Xia is good." I'm with my sister. ”

Lan Simiao has nothing to do with Xia Anping, she called her grandfather by her sister.

Xia Anping finally relieved himself when he heard Lan Simiao's voice.

Fortunately, it seems that the rice is still there.

However, he was soon attracted by Lan Siyan's other words: "What did you say?" Is his "Phantom City" finished? ”
