After suspending the update of "Tianya, Bright Moon, Knife", the sales of "East Poster Literary Edition" can be said to have plummeted.
Although "Tianya, Bright Moon, Knife" also brought some criticism, some people would think that this novel was not as good as they imagined, but even so, "East Poster, Literary Edition" has maintained its previous basic plate, maintaining sales of 220,000 copies.
After all, at that time, the sales brought by Li Kuo's "Chivalrous Journey" almost had a certain inertia.
But after Liang Jiasheng was determined to replace "Tianya Moon Knife" with "Glorious Mission", this basic plate could not be saved!
Today, it has fallen to 200,000 servings, and there are still 25,000 servings of water......
The reason for this situation is obviously because the novel "Glorious Mission" is really bad, if it is said that from the various penmanship and lyrical aspects of this novel, there is no problem, and people are also celebrities of the China Overseas Writers Association, but the problem is that this novel has the style of the Hongmeng era, and there is no plot hook or anything like that, it is purely to praise and promote, and the ability to attract people is too poor.
In fact, even if it is one of the top ten masterpieces of another time and space, the Three Kingdoms Journey to the West Water Margin Red Mansion, although they are already works of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but if you look at the people carefully, the attraction of the plot exists.
Especially in the Three Kingdoms, the plot is still very tight, and it is also worrying where the story will go, whether Liu Bei's forces can finally succeed, although the ending is already known, I am still looking forward to that process......
But "Glorious Mission" is really not very good......
This is also the reason why Dong Qi has been reluctant to let "Glorious Mission" enter "East Poster Literary Edition" before, but in the past two days, Liang Jiasheng wanted to express himself too much, so that "East Poster Literary Edition" also went to a dead end and entered a vicious circle.
It is foreseeable that if this matter does not change, the next road of "East Poster Literary Edition" will be even more difficult.
Liang Jiasheng found Ma Kai, and then explained that "Glorious Mission" caused the sales of "East Poster Literary Edition" to decline, but unfortunately, Ma Kai did not admit to this matter: "Deputy Editor-in-Chief Liang, can we have a little contract spirit?" The publication of "Glorious Mission" is something we have already discussed in black and white, not to mention that the decline in sales of "Literary Edition" is really because of "Glorious Mission"? I think you'd better look for it from yourself! ”
Liang Jiasheng was speechless.
Immediately, he also understood the reason for Ma Kai's things.
Ma Kai and the others wanted "East Poster Literary Edition" to publish "Glorious Mission" entirely because they wanted to strive for the honor of publishing the novel in this periodical, and as for the sales of the novel or something, they didn't care at all, so naturally they didn't have to care about the sales of "East Poster Literary Edition".
Liang Jiasheng now understands that the sales problem of "East Poster Literary Edition" can only be solved by themselves, but how to solve the problem?
Liang Jiasheng quickly brought Ye Xing in, and also found several other editors to come in: "You must keep your eyes open during this time, take a good look at any suitable novels, and fill in the gaps, otherwise, the sales have been declining recently, and I am also a little frightened." ”
Many people secretly slander in their hearts: "The heartbeat is not caused by yourself? If you don't change the novel, where would these things have happened now? ”
But it's just that everyone didn't say it.
Ye Xing was a little embarrassed: "There are not many novels that are good and suitable for publication in newspapers now, and now we have to shoulder the burden of making our sales rise again, and this kind of novel is estimated to be even less." ”
Liang Jiasheng: "If you don't have to look for more, do you just watch the sales decline like that?" ”
Suddenly, an editor said: "Why don't we let "The Moon Knife of the End of the World" be republished, look at the comments now, many people are also asking why we stopped serializing "The Moon Knife of the End of the World", I think it's time to take out that book!" ”
Liang Jiasheng was reluctant to admit his defeat, and he felt that if he said that he was going to publish this book now, it would be difficult to communicate with Li Kuo......
Liang Jiasheng said: "Let's look for others, when this book was published before, the newspaper sales were not very good." ”
"In the last two issues of the previous serialization of "Tianya Mingyue Knife", the sales of the later issues are growing, and there are still a lot of praises...... I think that novel has potential. ”
"Let's look for it again!" Liang Jiasheng could only continue.
…… However, they rushed to the shelves for a while, and naturally they didn't find the most suitable novel, and the sales of the new issue of "East Poster Literary Edition" have fallen below 200,000, and the sales have reached 197,000!
Suddenly, everyone was shocked!
In the office of "East Poster Literary Edition", the gloomy state of a long time ago has begun again.
Although a few novels have been found now, the quality of these novels is worrying...... Anyway, no one believes that these novels will sell well.
At this time, their Dinghai Divine Needle, Dong Qi came back again!
Dong Qi had just come back, and he was also shocked and angry when he saw the sales of "East Poster Literary Edition", he didn't expect that he had only been away for so long, and the sales of this newspaper would become like that.
However, when he saw that "Glorious Mission" was published in the "East Poster Literary Edition", his anger turned into relief...... Because he didn't agree to publish this novel on "East Poster Literary Edition", what age is it, writing a novel is just looking for feelings and not thinking about the plot, definitely not!
Then, he was not what everyone imagined......
Dong Qi did not continue to support Liang Jiasheng, but directly waved his hand: "Republish "Tianya Mingyue Knife"! ”
At this moment, Ye Xing was a little worried: "I'm worried that Li Kuo will be resentful, after all, the previous thing was still a bit excessive!" ”
Although the contract stipulates that if Li Kuo's novel is published, it will be published, but what if he deliberately fails to deliver the manuscript and makes a stumbling block, or if he ends it early?
"I'll go talk to him and try it." Dong Qi thought for a while and said to Ye Xing: "I think I still have to read his novel now!" ”
For a while, although a small number of people in the "East Poster Literary Edition" were still very pessimistic, most of them were full of hope when they heard the news: yes, they can still look forward to the performance of Li Kuo's novel again, which is almost a lifesaver.
Liang Jiasheng felt very aggrieved and depressed in his heart, but he couldn't do anything now, so he could only figure out what else to do in his heart.
Dong Qi planned to look for Li Kuo in a low voice, and he went to Li Kuo's house in person...... (To be continued.) )
