Chapter 64: The King's Sharp Attack on the Beast
History Star Press.
In the president's office, the smoke of cigarettes filled, Wang Jianzhong and Luo Kaida, the president of the publishing house, sat opposite each other, and their faces were not very good-looking.
On the coffee table between them, there is a book, which is Li Wenzai's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!
"I can't imagine that kid can write such a book, Lao Wang, I'm afraid there will be real trouble this time!" Luo Kaida spat out a puff of smoke and looked at Wang Jianzhong.
Luo Kaida really didn't expect such a situation.
He is still very confident that Wang Jianzhong's new book can be published. In particular, Wang Jianzhong has advertised himself many times in TV programs, which is more beneficial to the future listing and distribution.
However, because Wang Jianzhong used Li Wenzai to publicize, Li Wenzai could not be used and criticized, and even challenged Wang Jianzhong! The content of the challenge is that Li Wenzai also writes a history book, and then compares the sales with Wang Jianzhong's new book!
Although Li Wenzai has written two best-selling fairy tales, such as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, he does not think that Li Wenzai can write a good history book. To know that writing such a book requires a certain amount of life experience and reading accumulation!
Therefore, at the beginning of this challenge, both of them were pleasantly surprised, thinking that Li Wenzai was not able to do his best, and this was not helping Wang Jianzhong advertise his new book?
However, when their new books were released, and the two of them bought Li Wenzai's new book to read, they found that this was indeed a subversive history book, which completely subverted the boring and boring history books, made them more interesting, and aroused people's desire to read!
When the two books are put together, Wang Jianzhong's book suddenly has a sense of dogma, and at the same time, it feels dry to read, as if reading an expository text, which is difficult for people to be interested in reading.
On the contrary, Li Wenzai's book has a bit of romance, as if the novel version is interesting, but it does not lose the rigor and authenticity of historical books, which gives readers a very strong desire to read.
In this way, Li Wenzai's books will be liked by more people and have a wider audience, and the sales volume will naturally surpass Wang Jianzhong!
Wang Jianzhong's expression was gloomy, he was still full of confidence, but he didn't expect to give him such a big blow in a blink of an eye!
After thinking for a long time, Wang Jianzhong said lightly: "Don't worry, Lao Luo, I'll solve this matter." ”
Luo Kaida sighed and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you." ”
Wang Jianzhong got up and left.
Early in the morning of November 16.
There was a chorus of joy within Dazhen Fashion Publishing Group, and the first-day sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" have been counted, reaching an astonishing 8977.91 million copies!
It's the books! It's not a magazine, the magazine has cultivated a huge readership after years of circulation, plus all kinds of publicity, so when Li Wenzai's new comic was read and published in Dazhen Comics, it will sell nearly 6 million copies!
A new book, without prior publicity, in the case of many people questioning, even if the author is Li Wenzai, it is already very terrifying to have a sales volume of nearly 900,000 copies!
Of course, these book buyers will definitely have a lot of respect for this book after reading it. With word of mouth, compared with the future sales will definitely be flowering sesame - high!
Feng Meiling couldn't wait to call Li Wenzai and tell him the good news.
"Nine hundred thousand copies! Text, we succeeded! I think I'll be able to defeat that king this time! Feng Meiling's tone of voice was a little strange.
"Aunt Feng, have you been drinking?" Li Wenzai asked.
"Yes, I was resting in the company last night, and when I heard about the sales in the early morning, I was so happy that I couldn't help but drink two glasses of red wine."
"You better get some rest, don't get tired." Li Wenzai said with concern.
During this time, not only was she under pressure, but Feng Meiling was also under pressure, even greater than herself!
"It's okay, I still have the amount of three or two glasses of red wine. Well! Bang! There was the sound of a glass of wine shattering.
Li Wenzai was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Feng, you have nothing to do, right?" ”
Over there, Feng Meiling's voice suddenly became cold: "Turn on the TV and watch Imperial Capital Satellite TV." With that, he hung up.
Li Wenzai suddenly frowned, came to the living room and turned on the TV, and changed to Imperial Capital Satellite TV. At this time, an interview program was being broadcast, and the person interviewed was a celebrity in the cultural circles of the Dazhen Empire, the famous historian Xu Liangqian!
At this time, the historian said sternly: "History is serious, it is rigorous, how can a yellow-mouthed child be allowed to be so profane!" This is disrespect to history and disrespect to the sages! How can such a book be published, it must be stopped! ”
On the big screen behind it, it is Li Wenzai's new book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that is displayed!
Li Wenzai's face was expressionless, and ice slag was falling in the cold air in his voice: "Okay! It's good to make a move so quickly! ”
The host said: "Our reporter also interviewed several influential writers and historians in China, let's listen to their views. ”
Screen switching.
A chubby middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and glasses said: "I think history is serious, heavy, and rigorous, and we must hold a sense of awe when we tell history." ”
Does that mean, am I not in awe of history enough? That's a strange statement!
The screen switched again, this time it was a gray-haired old man, the old man had a sad expression, and said: "In the current cultural circle, there is beginning to spread an impetuous atmosphere. Dare to write any book, dare to say anything! Dazhen has a history of thousands of years, vicissitudes and thickness, how can it be as frivolous as writing a novel! ”
This uncle, you are so old, can you stop getting involved in these things!
"History is true, and it is the truth that is to be transmitted to all who read it! So the author must have a sense of social responsibility! Some people think they've written two fairy tales and a fantasy novel and think they're great! Began to write history irresponsibly, which is an extremely irresponsible performance! ”
Bang me! Mud horses, who is irresponsible?
Back in the studio, the beautiful hostess said: "As you can see from the above interview, these famous writers and historians in China have all given the same evaluation of Li Wenzai's new book. Of course, I haven't read the book and can't make any comments, so I can't give any rating. But I think it's the readers who are the most qualified to make evaluations, so let's take a look at the readers' evaluations. ”
Then there were interviews with a dozen readers who were said to have read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". Obviously, they all made negative comments about "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
Li Wenzai is speechless for these sanctimonious people, and he can talk nonsense with his eyes open, but he can't do it himself.
But Li Wenzai knows that these people are all relatively famous figures in the cultural circle of the Dazhen Empire, and their criticism is bound to have a huge impact on the sales of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"!
Because, there has never been a shortage of people who believe in authority, and there are even many such people!
Li Wenzai turned on the computer again, and as expected, posts criticizing "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" appeared on major forums, and they were very hot. Each post is followed by countless posts, and the vast majority of them are agreeable.
"Writing history books at seventeen? Who dares to look? Anyway, I don't dare to look at it! ”
"But with a little achievement, a little fame, and the advocacy of netizens, it suddenly made this person fluttering, and he was proud to not know his own weight, which is really sad!"
"Li Wenzai did not hesitate to use Professor Wang to build momentum for the sake of the sales of his new book, which is really despicable!"
"A person who has studied history for decades, published more than a dozen historical works, and published dozens of papers; One is just seventeen years old, has just finished high school history books, and has published two fairy tales and a fantasy novel. Do you still need me to say it? ”
Such comments abound, and just overnight, they sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Li Wenzai already admired Professor Wang a little at this time, and he was able to launch so many relationships overnight, sniping at his "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" on TV and on the Internet, which is amazing!
