Because of the popularity of the novel "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the owner of Mengbizhai has accumulated super popularity, and at present, the owner of Mengbizhai can be regarded as the most popular writer in the domestic popular fiction industry.

There are even many critics who believe that the owner of Mengbizhai has become the first person worthy of the name of popular fiction in China.

Not one of them!

At the end of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", many readers are looking forward to the owner of Mengbi Zhai to release a new work as soon as possible.

It's best to be a new work that can be as thrilling as "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"!

Therefore, when Hanmo Company was warming up for "Notes on Tomb Robbery", it just released a little wind and set off a craze in China.

This has been reported by many newspapers.

Because, the entire reading market has too strong expectations for the new work of the owner of Mengbizhai.

In order to grab the exclusivity, these media rushed to interview Hanmo Company, trying to dig out exclusive materials from it.

And Hanmo Company is also fully aware of the psychology of media reporters, and consciously hangs its appetite to constantly release some of the latest news:

"Notes on Tomb Robbery" will continue the fantasy adventure of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the bizarre and bizarre supernatural scenes will make every reader nervous and scream.

With a total of about 1.5 million words, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" will be divided into eight parts, and it will be a magnificent masterpiece.

"Notes on Tomb Robbery" will be the last tomb robbery adventure novel written by the owner of Mengbizhai.

There is a heritage relationship between "Notes on Tomb Robbery" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", but the former will have its own set of theoretical systems, and the story will have a tighter structure, and the whole story will be a big suspense.

News like this is released one by one, and each news will receive media attention and hype.

In this way, "Notes on Tomb Robbery" has become famous and has a high reputation in China before it comes out.

Every day, Hanmo receives a lot of calls asking for a new book called "Notes on Tomb Robbery". This number of bookings is constantly being pushed up every day.

Before the release of "Tomb Robbery Notes", the pre-order number had reached nearly 1.5 million copies.

And Hanmo Company announced that the first printing of "Tomb Robbery Notes" will be a record-breaking 2 million copies! Except for Mao Xuan's various Marxist-Leninist monographs and various textbooks, it is estimated that there are no other books in the humanities and social sciences that exceed the right of the total.

This first print run was released, and it immediately shook the whole country.

It can be said that a strong formation has been formed for the long-awaited listing of "Tomb Robbery Notes"!

It's that coincident......

On the contrary, the supplement issue of the second half of Xiao Fei's novel "Brothers" launched by "Harvest" was also listed nationwide on December 14.

Although "Brothers" is also very famous. It has a large number of loyal fans in China, but it is still a lot worse than popular novels like "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

There is no doubt that the readership of "Tomb Robbery Notes" is larger.

The two are opposed, and the former does not take advantage of anything.

And the launch ceremony of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" in Beijing was also held at the head office of Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing, and the two collided head-on without any buffer.

Xiao Fei listened to Editor Cheng's introduction of the situation, and was a little speechless for a while.

"Mr. Cheng, I think the readership of the two is still very different. "Tomb Robbery Notes" shouldn't have much impact on the harvest either. Xiao Fei comforted.

"I hope so." Editor Cheng sighed.

Cheng editor asked Xiao Fei to meet in the evening.

Xiao Fei agreed.

After making this call, he saw Xu Fengjuan looking at him with wide open eyes, and asked in a somewhat gloomy tone: "Is there something wrong again?" ”

"yes." Xiao Fei smiled bitterly.

"Then you go and get busy." Xu Fengjuan said.

She tried hard to pretend that she didn't care, but the gloom on her face betrayed her.

"It doesn't matter, Teacher Cheng of "Harvest" asked me to meet in the evening, I can also accompany everyone to have a meal together, send you back after dinner, and then it's not too late for me to go to the appointment." Xiao Fei said.

"Okay." Xu Fengjuan hugged his arm tightly and said with a smile. She just wanted to be with him a quarter of an hour longer. If she could, she wished she could get tired of being around him every minute.

A group of people skate until 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

It was getting dark in winter, and it was already dusk. Xiao Fei took Xu Fengjuan and them to Mengtaoyuan and rubbed them. He sent Xu Fengjuan back again.

And then. He went to the hotel where Cheng was staying.

As soon as Editor Cheng saw Xiao Fei, he said: "Xiao Fei, the pressure is great, the pressure is great!" Our editor-in-chief has high hopes for this long-form supplement, hoping to increase the annual efficiency of the magazine at the end of the year, but I didn't expect to encounter such an obstacle. This is a sad thing about pure literature! Raw to a piece of fast food literature to put a head down! ”

Xiao Fei sat down on the sofa in his room. Smile: "Mr. Cheng, the book market has never been a standout, although "Notes on Tomb Robbery" may steal some of the bookstore's terminal resources of "Harvest", but I think the two can complement each other." If you care, it's messed up. ”

Pure literature is a niche, and popular literature occupies the mainstream of mass culture consumption, and this problem was already certain by the end of the 90s.

It's just that the workers of large pure literary journals such as Editor Cheng are not willing to recognize the status of the other party.

"One me, defeated the other me."

Xiao Fei flashed such a sentence in his mind, and he felt that reality was really full of absurdity.

Editor Cheng obviously disagrees with Xiao Fei's views.

He shook his head and babbled, "Xiao Fei, you still don't understand the situation!" The first print run of "Tomb Robbery Notes" was 2 million, and I heard that all bookstores in Beijing promoted it as the most important new book of this period. ”

"I went to the head office of Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing yesterday, I saw, the prominent position at the door of the bookstore is almost completely occupied by it, I heard that the publisher of "Notes on Tomb Robbery" will also hold a simple on-site reader interactive lottery, on the same day in the head office to buy books readers can get a lottery ticket, the biggest prize is a 29-inch color TV! The area at the front entrance of the bookstore has been completely occupied by the first release scene of "Notes on Tomb Robbery". ”

"I went to talk to the bookstore, and the store manager told me that there was no way, and the Tomb Robbery Notes were booked early, so they occupied the main space. It's infuriating! When we booked the venue for signing, the manager said that there were no other activities that day, and now, as soon as "Tomb Robbery Notes" was launched, our activities were squeezed out. ”

"The most hateful thing is that I have informed several media in Beijing of the news of our debut and signing ceremony, and the news has already been sent. If we change it now, it will make the reader complain! I'm really passive now, I don't even know what to do! ”

Editor Cheng had a bitter look on his face and confided in Xiao Fei.

"Teacher Cheng, there won't be any changes to tomorrow's signing, right?" Xiao Fei asked.

"It's not changed, I coordinated it later, and squeezed out a place next to the site of the first listing ceremony of "Tomb Robbery Notes", which we used for signing." Editor Cheng shook his head gloomily and said.

"Oh, that's fine."

"What's good, I just think, it's too humiliating, serious literature, and now it's been squeezed out by fast food literature."

Editor Cheng shook his head and sighed.

Perhaps in his mind, he had already decided that the supplement of the novel launched by "Harvest" for Xiao Fei's "Brothers" would fail in direct competition with "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

"The situation won't be too bad tomorrow, Mr. Cheng, when the first half of my work "Brothers" was published, the readers' response was still very good, and there were already a large number of stable supporters. The second half of "Brothers" launched this time is the first signing, and I believe readers will give us a big cheer! Xiao Fei was relieved again.

"I just don't feel angry!" Editor Cheng said with a wry smile.

However, no matter how bad Editor Cheng's anger is, he can only face the status quo.

The two then discussed the details of the next day, and Xiao Fei said goodbye and left.

Coming out of the hotel where Cheng Editor was staying, Xiao Fei called Liu Zelai.

"Brother Zelai, are you in the capital now?"

"Mr. Xiao, I'm here, I just arrived not long ago, and I'm still sitting on the bus from the airport to the city! Is there something wrong with you? Liu Ze said.

"Brother Zelai, I would like to discuss with you some details of the launch ceremony of "Tomb Robbery Notes" at the entrance of the Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing tomorrow." Xiao Fei said.

"Oh, then I'll give you a report on the finalized process now, Mr. Xiao." Liu Ze said.

Xiao Fei heard the sound of Suosuo's book turning over from the microphone.

He smiled and said, "No need, Brother Zelai, I want you to help me add a link to the process of tomorrow's "Tomb Robbery Notes" launch ceremony......

Xiao Fei said his request.

Liu Zelai listened, although he was a little surprised, he didn't say anything, nodded and agreed: "Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll listen to you." ”

He naturally knew that Xiao Fei would sign "Brothers" at the entrance of Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing tomorrow.

He didn't expect that the time he arranged happened to collide with "Harvest".

Since the boss has instructed to give a little help to this most respectable large-scale pure literary journal in China, what else is there to say? Just do it.

"Then we'll be gone tonight, let's meet and talk again tomorrow at the door of the bookstore." Xiao Fei said.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao."

"Brother Zelai has been running around for days, you have a good rest tonight."

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Fei shook his head, and said in his heart, he is also wonderful, he actually digs his own corner, this kind of behavior is rare in the world, right? (To be continued......)
