Verse 16: The Fish and the Bear's Paw
"I really don't understand why such a work can gain such popularity, perhaps because of strong recommendations. But what I want to say to Mr. Author is that instead of thinking about the publishing entity, let's exercise the article first! I seem to be able to foresee a picture of works piled up on the shelves but no one touches them, and the last ones are cleaned up and removed from the shelves, which may be cruel to say, but there is no such thing as a soulless book, and it is a waste of paper to save it! —Lee Tae-hyo, editor of Dong-A Ilbo.
The press release, which was written and published in early September, is now being cut and going viral. On the other hand, there is a figure of the sales of "Time" in major bookstores in Er, which I don't know where to go, which clearly shows that in the first week of physical publication, the bookstore sold an average of about 5,000 copies per day.
This was followed by a mocking response from a netizen and a reader of Time to editor Lee Tae-hyo: "It turns out that some people who deliberately belittle the charm of Time do not use their brains when they flatter that part of the population. He probably didn't even spend 6o won to read a section of "Time" on the website, and then he knew that this classic novel was not written well enough and had no soul. I like to hear about his predictions, but I don't know that reality and dreams are inverse? Some people who occupy large media newspapers should read through a work carefully before criticizing it, because the text in the work is much more interesting than your boring whole article! ”
"The new author Shi Yu's personal works only sold 30,000 large, medium and small bookstores after only 30 large, medium and small bookstores sold in the week, and most of the 80,000 copies pre-sold on the website platform were in the Feier area, and the sales volume in the Feier area is still being intensified."
……
Recently, the topic of "Time" has been slowly cooling, and it is most lively in cafes and forums where the author of the "Time" novel and Time Rain, which was formed by himself on the Korean portals Daum and Naver.
Su Yinghe, the author who has not yet appeared, has won more than 2,000 registrations for his café with just one novel! This number jù is better than some unknown rookie singers, but it is far inferior to the top groups and Ido1.
TVXQ's official number of people at the restaurant exceeded 800,000, a world record, even though this real-name count of the number of people in a restaurant was unique to South Korea.
"Brother, your café is so lively!"
"Your brother is here, what's there to see in the café?"
"My brother is not an artist, although my brother is more handsome, but he still gathered more than 2,000 meals without releasing photos, which is not a real feeling."
"Hey, are you really my sister? Why is the words so black? Honestly, did you join those anti on the Internet? ”
Su Yinghe lay on his back on his bed, pinching the corner of a magazine, and flipped through it very casually. At the table next to her, Minjing was sitting, staring with relish at the computer screen of Yinglan's delicate face.
"Poof! Ha ha! Brother, there are a lot of people here discussing your appearance, there are so many pictures! Oh mo, it's so weird. ”
Su Yinghe sighed, put down the magazine in his hand, sat up from the bed, and squeezed his sister directly from the computer.
"Yikes!" Min Jing's temperament is very arrogant, and she says to her brother, such tone words are commonplace.
Su Yinghe really didn't feel at ease, and was always lazy: "It's okay, don't look at these meaningless things, your mind is full of these, what should you do if you can't get into college in the future?" ”
The little sister of the Su family smiled, and the giggling laughter made the elder brother pay attention, she grinned, and the smile she showed was extremely cunning in Su Yinghe's eyes, and she replied softly: "There is a brother!" ”
"Hey!"
"What, do you want to care about my sister's life or death? I'm your sister, you can't find two people in the world who are exactly the same, and you only have me! A relationship where you can feel your heartbeat close to your palm, is this a relationship? The girl has no good impression of her brother's resistance, and describes it as fierce and playful.
"Really?" Su Yinghyuk's eyes widened.
The little sister was really annoyed: "Ah! Now are you questioning whether I'm my own sister? Do I want to do an appraisal? ”
Su Yinghe was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about, is it true that you just said that you can feel your heartbeat close to the palm of your hand?" Why is this so much like a twin? ”
The little sister's face turned red, and she said that she saw it in the novel, which made her brother laugh, and he said, no wonder you suddenly spoke in a crepe, it's not that I haven't read the article you wrote, where is the ink in my stomach?
Su Minjing blushed and became angry, stepped forward to strangle this person's neck, and roared: "Ah! Su Yinghe, you are really unreasonable today, I want to duel with you! It's great, it's time to test the taekwondo you've been learning for so long. ”
Su Yinghe cooperated to let her succeed twice, then she broke off the restraints, rubbed her neck and returned to sitting upright, although her sister behind her was puffing up, she didn't make a fuss.
This is the first time in a long time that the login network has passed. After the official physical sales of "Time" was renamed "Time: Reminiscence of Youth", the publishing house was the head of the line and dispersed to the hands of major distributors and retailers, and in just one week, the sales in the physical bookstore reached more than 30,000 copies, together with the more than 80,000 copies accumulated in half a month of online pre-order, a total of nearly 120,000 copies were sold. The results of the statistics for the Phil region have not yet arrived!
The news of the release of the entity has been a hot topic recently, and the recent hot discussion about "Time" has been in terms of the ending and the entity. Now few readers will be entangled in the problem that the hero and heroine are not together at the end, and what is really still holding on is obviously black. As soon as the entity came out, it immediately swept away a lot of controversy.
So Yeong-hyuk's copyright income (after tax) is close to 100 million won. This wealth is really amazing for a family like Su Yinghe, Su's father has worked for others for half his life, and his income is not far from the cost of living. And Su Yinghe's current form shì, his wealth in the future will not be just that, not only him, but many people have confidence in "Time".
As soon as the number of publications was released, a small number of artist friends came to congratulate the text, such as Kang Dae-sung, Lee Hyo-ri, etc.-he cultivated a good friendship with some people in a short period of time after the birth of the family, although this friendship is average, but the effect of blooming at some moments is very warm.
The current publication results are not enough to make Su Yinghe change his mentality, and he still does what he wants. His results are only now in the six-figure figure, and there is really no way to compare with those who are millions at every turn, and book sales are quite similar to records, and the more you go to the back, the less they sell.
Closing the computer, he was just an ordinary young man, his new novels were recorded with pen and paper, and the editor's messages were contacted by his mobile phone—his mobile phone was still a Samsung slider made in 2007. As for more often than not, he is a student, a student at Sungkyunkwan University, and will graduate next year!
This is the advantage of not making his identity public, and fame on the Internet does not affect his private life in the slightest! No one knows what kind of author he is!
Hey, a comfortable life, a balance between fame and fortune and plainness, ha, only I have both fish and bear's paws!
ps: I made it, there was a math error in the last chapter! Shame! If it weren't for the book friends themselves, they wouldn't have appeared!
