Chapter 20 Listing ......
When a new book is launched, if the author is a well-known author, then it should be advertised before the new book is launched, and it should be widely publicized and advertised throughout the country; If it's a big-name celebrity writer, you should hold a book launch before the book launches, which is as grand as the star album or the movie company movie launch.
But Stephen Zhao is not, he is just a rookie.
Therefore, when the University of Finance and Economics Press began to promote "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" to the market, it just asked Qian Minli to call him to inform him, and then it began to distribute the goods there.
For this, Stephen Zhao is also a little helpless, and can only hope that this joke historical novel from the earth can be loved by readers on Saturn, and then spontaneously become popular.
Stephen Zhao also did not see the promotion of this book on the Internet, and it is certain that his first book was quietly listed.
Speaking of which, in addition to earning a little confidence from selling the song "East Wind Breaking", Zhao Xingchi himself is still not very confident in the book "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". In his mind, this book was the equivalent of a test on Saturn. If the test is successful and the book is popular, then he can be very confident as a cultural trafficker in the future, turn all the famous books on the earth to Saturn, and then make a big profit.
A day later, Qian Minli brought him the first volume of the eleven hardcover editions of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", gave ten of them to Zhao Xingchi, and said, "This is for you for free." ”
Stephen Zhao took it with a smile, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the remaining book in her hand, and asked, "What about this one?" ”
Qian Minli pursed her lips and smiled, held the book in front of him with both hands, and said, "This is mine." Great writer, sign it, and when you become famous in the future, I will sell it for money and make a fortune. ”
Zhao Xingchi knew that she was laughing, but she was also happy to hear it: "No problem, this great writer will fulfill you." He took the book and solemnly signed his first signature.
The signature did not have a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, but just wrote his name in regular italics, which was decent.
Qian Minli took back the book and looked at the signature, and immediately said with disdain: "It's really not level." ”
Zhao Xingchi was not happy, and retorted: "Do you know what Lu said, let me tell you, when I become a famous writer in the future, my signature is the trend and the level." ”
Qian Minli "cut" and didn't believe it at all.
The two chatted and laughed, and in the afternoon, Qian Minli left, and at the same time took away all the manuscripts behind "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
As for the manuscript fee, Qian Minli said that it would take half a month to get it, and Zhao Xingchi could only be depressed for a long time again.
"The Three Kingdoms" has also been written, but Zhao Xingchi does not plan to publish it with the University of Finance and Economics Press, he is ready to sell it at a price, and he will make plans after "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" completely knocks out his fame.
……
Another weekend.
Gao Xiaofeng, who is still a lonely otaku, has nowhere to go, and his roommates invite him to climb, he thinks that climbing the mountain is purely a waste of time and life, so he refused without hesitation.
At half past ten, when the sun was drying his buttocks, Gao Xiaofeng opened his hazy eyes and got up weakly.
This is Changnan University, and Gao Xiaofeng is in his third year of college, majoring in language and literature.
However, don't look at the name of this major, it is also relatively unpopular in people's impressions; However, this major is not only not unpopular at all, but is a popular major. Why? Just because in this peaceful era, the economy is highly developed, but the entertainment and cultural industry is relatively lagging behind and is still booming.
Of course, the consequence of all this is because China has been poor and weak for a hundred years, and it has to first develop science and technology to strengthen its national strength and protect its homeland and defend the country.
Now, Huaxia's national strength is unprecedentedly strong, and it is still rising rapidly at a speed that terrifies the whole world. Except for the U.S. imperialism, the number one power, there is no country in the world that can compete with Huaxia. At this time, it is the best period for the development of culture and entertainment.
After graduation, you can't be a writer, a cultural researcher, or a famous editor, but you can always be a editor, a writer, or a journalist. What's more, famous writers, famous cultural researchers, and famous editors have all risen from the editor, and have developed from not entering the stream to entering the stream.
So, although the road is tortuous, the future is still bright.
After washing, he casually pulled out a thick web novel "Me and My Little Sister" from under the pillow, Gao Xiaofeng walked out of the dormitory, and then went to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Well, it's half past ten, and it's supposed to be lunch.
Gao Xiaofeng is an otaku, and the "culprit" is martial arts novels and current online novels.
When he was in high school, Gao Xiaofeng was liberated from the strict control of his parents, and soon began to read martial arts novels with his classmates, and he was out of control. From the beginning to renting a bookstore to rent pirated novels to read, and then buying a collection of novels by martial arts masters, a thick one, a hardcover edition of the Red Book, several martial arts novels are gathered together, and it is a pleasure to watch; Then it developed to learn the computer, and then secretly read those small H texts that gradually opened up on the Internet.
In recent years, online literature has begun to rise, and with the rapid popularization of computers and smartphones, online literature has developed rapidly, overwhelming, and filled everyone, and at least five of the ten young people who hold their mobile phones and look down are reading online novels.
Gao Xiaofeng is also one of the five, but as time passes, more and more novels are finished by him, and he gradually begins to run out of books.
There was no way, Gao Xiaofeng could only go back to the rented bookstore outside the school again and rent those pirated novels to read.
After lunch, Gao Xiaofeng went to the rented bookstore, returned "Me and My Little Sister" to the bookstore, and then frantically looked for a novel that could enter his eyes.
But after looking for a long time, Gao Xiaofeng was disappointed again: "Nima, what is this written, dare to print and sell bullshit things?" ”
After arriving at the end, Gao Xiaofeng got the rent back in a fit of anger, and then planned to go online to find books to read.
However, on the way to the Internet café and passing by Wanhua Bookstore, Gao Xiaofeng suddenly became interested and planned to take a look inside.
Wanhua Bookstore is a large bookstore chain in the country, a state-owned enterprise, and one of the few genuine bookstores near Changnan University.
Gao Xiaofeng rarely comes here, because genuine books are at least thirty or forty, but pirated books can be bought for only ten or even five yuan, and except for some flaws in paper and printing, they are almost no different from genuine books, so in comparison, Gao Xiaofeng, who values cost performance the most, is very willing to buy pirated books.
"Hey, what kind of book is this, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?" Gao Xiaofeng walked around a few times, and finally picked up a new book in the big category of history books, and shouted a little incomprehensibly: "Waiter, what kind of book is this book?" ”
The waiter in the red vest walked over, looked at the book, and immediately smiled: "This is a novel that jokes about history, it was just released yesterday, and I heard that the author is still a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics next door." ”
