The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy first appeared in the magazine, giving Fantasy World a long-cherished wish and achieving its sales target for many years, which sounds DIAO, but it's not as powerful as it could be.

It's true that this story is very popular, but it's only limited to people who like science fiction, and if they or those around them don't have such readers, then many people may not even know what "Fantasy World" is.

The situation of science fiction is so unbearable, and the market recession is also recognized, but there is no unified statement as to why the recession is unified.

Most people think that this situation is entirely due to the fact that domestic science fiction novels are not readable, and if readers can find pleasure in novels, it will not be so, and more extreme people directly attribute this to because the people of the Celestial Empire are naturally stiff and have no imagination.

Many science fiction writers feel very wronged by this, they believe that the main factor is that science fiction developed too late in China, science fiction appeared in the West as early as the nineteenth century, and the Celestial Empire only began to develop at the end of the last century, both their authors themselves and the entire market still need to be trained.

A well-known science fiction writer once said that science fiction is so sluggish because the Chinese people are backward in their thinking and can only accept the groundless spiritual garbage of martial arts.

All the Celestial Dynasty people and martial arts novels are lying down because of this sentence, and his confidence in saying this sentence is estimated to be many years ago, martial arts novels have not been recognized by traditional literature, and Hua Yongsheng has complained many times in the preface of his work that martial arts novels are not even regarded as novels, let alone recognized as literature.

But this was many years ago, and now martial arts novels have long become part of traditional culture, so some rabbits are really anxious to bite people, and what good works can you expect him to write if he can say this kind of thing?

After class, Zhang Qiuxi was called out by a phone call, and when she came back, she already had an extra paper bag in her hand, and she could at least stuff a down jacket into it.

Li Yue looked at it with a smile, because she knew that Zhang Qiuxi would definitely tell her what was inside, and Zhang Qiuxi came back and said, "My good sister, how about assigning you a task?" ”

"You mean what's in the bag?" Li Yue easily guessed.

"These are letters from readers, and someone from the magazine sent them directly to the school, and the editor said that it is necessary to reply, so you can help me take a look."

Zhang Qiuxi opened the paper bag, which contained hundreds of letters, Li Yue was a little dizzy, and said in disbelief: "Isn't it, so many have to be replied to one by one?" ”

"Of course not, in this case, what kind of book does the author write, and there is not enough time to reply to the letter." Zhang Qiuxi said: "The editor said that as long as I pick out some meanings, I don't have to reply, the magazine will give me a column to write these contents." ”

"The new issue of Fantasy World has just been released, and these letters are all sent after reading the previous issue? There are so many just serialized, so won't there be so many this month that you can't even move back? ”

Li Yue felt a little unbelievable, on the new issue of "Fantasy World", "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" released another 30,000 words, serializing the story to the twenty-second chapter, leaving only the last 20,000 words at the end.

According to Hongdou, this time, the editor-in-chief decided to take a risk, and directly set the print run of the magazine at 150,000 copies, and Shun Lì raised the record of more than 150,000 sales in a single issue to seven issues.

"What kind of questions do you think readers will write about? I had never thought of writing to an author, and I never thought that I would one day see a letter from a reader. After being surprised, Li Yue seemed to be interested, and couldn't wait to open the letter to read.

Zhang Qiuxi said: "The forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, we have to be mentally prepared before looking at it." ”

Li Yue smiled, opened the letter and read, "Dear Mr. Xiqiu, hello." I'm a regular reader, and I love autumn readers as much as you do......"

"Let's skip this content, just pick the important ones and read them, if you really want to not pull a word, you have to see when." Zhang Qiuxi stopped Li Yue from continuing to play with the next reading, this is not because he doesn't care about the feelings of the readers, but the author is also a human being, and his energy is limited.

"I think the point is that many people don't know that you are a girl, so it is necessary to clarify." Li Yue opened several letters in a row, starting with "Mr. Xiqiu" There is no way, and there is inertia in thinking, people subconsciously think that the author of science fiction will only be a man, although her vest is not domineering at all.

Zhang Qiuxi shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't care, and then also read: "How can I leave the earth, can you help me leave the earth?" These guys are here to entertain me, and they don't have a normal problem. ”

In these readers' letters, in addition to expressing their love for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", there are some strange questions, presumably because of the lack of influence of the novel's style, so they joke with a playful mentality, which makes people cry and laugh very much.

The advantage of this is that readers are in a playful mindset, so it is much easier to deal with it, and even if they do not respond, readers will not be disappointed or dissatisfied, and it seems that under the perennial practice of countless magazines, they still know this very well.

It's just that if you don't read it, you still can't know if there will be any "serious" letters in it, so you still have to read them one by one, even if you look at ten lines at a glance, it's not an easy thing.

Speaking of which, why would there be so many letters from readers, obviously there is no lottery activity.

Li Yue guessed that there may be more letters this month, it is not unreasonable, "Fantasy World" has been aggrieved for so many years, and now there is a good story as a backing, and the sales have also come back to the peak of the results, so it is natural to hype it up, and it is best to let the whole world know the news.

The magazine didn't do much either, because the 120,000 sales of the last issue had already made The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy well-known to science fiction readers, and their discussion of the story seemed to be brewing, and this issue of the magazine exploded completely as soon as it was released.

In another 30,000 words of content, the very popular and suffering from the depression of the very strict zhòng appears, and the protagonist Dunte meets another surviving earthling who has not successfully hooked up before......

The story is still in the same style as ever, and there is a trend of even better, with solid sales figures and praise for the word-of-mouth that explodes into the fact that even those who have never read science fiction can hear the name "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" from all sides.

The Internet is already full of information exchanged by netizens, and many news media have also reported on the sensation caused by the novel, and the magazine only needs to push the flames to achieve its goal, and there is no need to spend effort at all.
