Chapter Seventy-Six: Single-Month Results!
In a university dormitory in East China, a girl named Zhuang Jia sat at her desk and looked at the newly bought "Diary of a Sand Monk". She rarely paid attention to anything new before, but after listening to her cousin's introduction, Zhuang Jia slowly began to pay attention to the fact that she was now in the limelight.
When Zhuang Jia opened the first page of "Diary of a Sand Monk", she didn't know what this novel was about, and after reading the first short story on the first page, she suddenly laughed! This story is about Tang Seng's three apprentices who went out and continued to eat meat secretly, and then wanted to frame the master, but it turned out that the master was also eating meat indecently!
Zhuang Jia really had a sense of surprise at this time, she never thought that she could tell "Journey to the West" so interestingly! Although when she first bought this book, she thought that this book was the same as "The Legend of Wukong", telling a story of exhaustion from "Journey to the West".
But now she found that it was different, this is a joke book, a joke book that can make young people laugh until their stomachs hurt! Zhuang Jia watched and watched, slowly changing from sitting at the table to lying on the table, and finally to lying on the bed and laughing wildly, and even rubbing her stomach desperately while laughing......
Her state frightened the other sisters in the dormitory who had just returned from class, and they thought to themselves that in this day of winter vacation, don't Zhuang Jia go crazy. As a result, when they cautiously stepped forward to check, they found that Zhuang Jia was reading a book and looked like this.
So, under Zhuang Jia's strong recommendation, driven by the curiosity that they could kill cats, they began to read this book with Zhuang Jia......
"Diary of a Sand Monk" is so popular! Although many parents and teachers who bought this book could not understand the book and even felt bored, the book caused great repercussions among young students.
Almost within a few days, the book "Sha Seng Diary" began to spread on campuses all over the country, and almost everyone's verbal language became a joke in "Sha Seng Diary" - everyone began to learn Wen Xun's statement, and regarded mutton as a special "vegetable" in the Western Regions!
In response to this situation, many media began to investigate this phenomenon with great interest, and finally a review article appeared in the "Declaration".
"Through this amazing craze for "Diary of a Sand Monk", we can be surprised to find something called the generation gap, and in addition to the generation gap, there is also an interesting phenomenon.
As a good student, Wen Xun wrote a collection of postmodern nonsensical deconstructivist jokes, which has no connotation at all, or its connotation is relaxed, that is, subverting the existing image, and that is, being funny. But this book will only be disseminated among young people, and all people over the age of 40 basically can't understand where the jokes in this book are......
As a bad student, Bi Qikai wrote a very traditional novel, telling about his student career in his eyes, and about his students' youth and confusion. Novels with this theme are more likely to be understood and accepted by older readers......"
When I saw this review, Wen Xun was playing with his new phone. He looked at the article and immediately felt a little interested. He thought about it, and it was really like that. When he chose this book, he didn't think much about it, and it was purely written to make money.
But now that I write it, it seems that his image with Bi Qikai has been reversed? It seems that his book should be written for Bi Qikai's image, and Bi Qikai's book should be written by him?
However, Wen Xun doesn't care about this problem now, the question he cares about is how many copies of his "Diary of a Sand Monk" can sell! In this period of winter vacation, it is actually not a good time to buy books, because students are either taking exams or buying train tickets home, and there are really not many people who can spare energy to buy books.
But even in this case, Wen Xun's "Diary of a Sand Monk" still took advantage of the previous publicity and reached a sales volume of 200,000 copies! That is to say, just by now, Wen Xun can get another 200,000 yuan!
Although it doesn't seem to be much in absolute terms, you must know that this is Wen Xun's first book, and it is just a book that Wen Xun chose at random in order to make money quickly! Don't forget, Wen Xun is just a little-known literary teenager who no one wants after he voted all over the Yuqing Publishing House before!
With these 200,000 yuan, although it is still a bit reluctant to do kidney replacement surgery for my mother, it has been able to greatly improve the life of the whole family, you must know that at this time, a Poussin car is only 130,000!
In other words, relying on the book "Diary of a Sand Monk", Wen Xun's family has changed from a miserable home with ruins and lonely walls to a well-off family that now has a house and enough spare money to buy a car!
When they saw this sales figure, when they figured out how much money they could get, and when they saw the account book that Lan Yang took, Wen Xun's parents suddenly burst into tears with joy. Wen Xun's father was fine, wiped the corners of his eyes a little, and kept smiling and saying "good", Wen Xun's mother cried like a tearful person!
For Wen Xun's mother, she always felt that the whole family was dragged down by herself, and the whole family had no hope. It was her own son, and it was Wen Xun who told her that there was hope for the future! And now, the hope of the whole family has really come, not only has it come, but it has come true! It really made her have an unreal feeling and made her afraid!
She was afraid that she would wake up suddenly after a while, and then she would face the ruined home before, and she would face Wen Xun, who was silently supporting a family, and she was afraid that all this was just a dream......
However, what she didn't expect was that the bigger dream was still to come!
After entering the winter vacation, the majority of high school students had nothing to do, and on the recommendation of friends and classmates, they entered the Xinhua bookstore and began to look for Wen Xun's books. Just in the short two weeks from the beginning of the winter vacation to the Spring Festival, the sales of Wen Xun's "Diary of a Sand Monk" were refreshed again, rushing to the figure of 500,000 copies!
On the other hand, Bi Qikai's "Double Door" attracted the attention of school teachers and parents, reaching a score of 400,000 copies.
These two books have been on sale for almost a month at this time. As soon as the results of 500,000 and 400,000 copies this month came out, everyone in the traditional publishing industry was dumbfounded! The people of those traditional publishing houses, from the head to the brain, down to the ordinary editors, they can't believe their eyes!
Is this still a dwindling publishing industry? Is this still a sunset industry? Is this still the top 10 Chinese publishing market where the total sales of novels in a year can be among the top 10? How is everything different? How can teenagers now succeed in the list with a month's sales results, and they have rushed to the top five, and they are two at once!
That's just a month's results! Book publishing is not a one-month-two-month book that immediately goes to zero, it can be sold for a year, three years, or five years! In this way, in the end, what will be the score of Wen Xun and Bi Qikai, the two middle school students, in their first book? A million copies? Two million copies? Three million copies?
Just thinking about such a figure is terrifying to all people in the publishing industry!
