"Sister Zhao, I have already written the short story you asked me to write, did I send it to you directly by email?"

"Chenchen, your efficiency is really slow enough." Zhao Xiangtang complained on the phone, after all, it was said that it was three days before, but now five days have passed, and according to the agreement, it has exceeded two days.

After a small complaint, he asked with great interest: "What type of new short story is it, is it a new mystery novel, or a science fiction novel like "The Broken Heart"?" ”

For Zhao Tangtang, no matter which one she is, she can be very satisfied, and the benefits of speculative novels serialized in newspapers and magazines are not much to say, and science fiction short stories similar to "The Heartbreaker" have made "Baowen Weekly" famous.

"Hmm...... Strictly speaking, this novel should belong to the series of "Sherlock Holmes". Su Shichen thought for a while and then gave a vague answer, but this answer surprised Zhao Tangtang on the other end of the phone.

She said: "Sherlock Holmes has signed a right of first refusal with Yangcheng Daily, and if they do not waive it, it would be a breach of contract to publish the contents of Sherlock Holmes to other newspapers and magazines." ”

This contract was signed when Zhao Tangtang was the deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Newspaper, which is the reason why Weishenme's "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" entity can be said to be over, but the reason why there has been no serialized new content in the newspaper is that because of the price, the relationship between Su Shichen and Yangcheng Newspaper is very bad.

"Don't worry, it's just that strictly speaking, this novel can only be counted as a fandom of Sherlock Holmes. borrowed the characters in it, but the content and plot classification are Western fantasy. ”

"Oh? The strongest literary confrontation in China in this century has begun, and the genre is Western fantasy. Chenchen, this article isn't going to be used for experiments, is it? ”

"No, of course not." Su Shichen said.

The short story he is about to send to Zhao Tangtang is not simple at all, it is quite famous on the earth in the previous life, and its biggest feature is that it integrates the content of Sherlock Holmes and Lovecraft, so this short story can be said to be a combination of fantasy and reasoning, and of course there is a more remarkable achievement. Won the 2004 Hugo Award for Best Short Story.

The Hugo Award is a shijie award, which can be said to be the pinnacle of fantasy novels, and can it be worse than the best short novel? Of course, I will choose this article to send to Zhao Tangtang. First, it can be said to be a gift to Fu fans, and secondly, it is really tentative, this Western fantasy confrontation Su Shichen really values it very much.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with two thousand words, right?" Two thousand words. That is, two pieces of one word. It sounds like a lot, but the short story is only one or two thousand words, that is to say, twenty or thirty thousand, and the value of Su Shichen's short story for a newspaper is only twenty or thirty thousand? So it sounds like a lot, but when you think it down, it's definitely worth the money.

"It's very haode, at this price." Negotiate the price and hang up.

At present, Su Shichen did not go home but stayed in the company. This is a miracle for Su Shichen, who doesn't like the atmosphere of the company. Of course, as soon as he came to the company, Su Shichen felt as if he had forgotten something. But I can't remember.

Su Shichen naturally had something to do in the company at this time, and he was waiting for the order to observe the Honghuang series model, which originally had no QR code or game function.

However, on the eve of the release, Su Shichen suddenly remembered a well-known anime "Digimon" on Earth in his previous life, and then this anime has a peripheral product called the Digital Tyrannosaurus machine, which is the kind of digital tyrannosaurus machine in the anime, of course, it does not have the magical function in the anime, but the digital tyrannosaurus machine can be raised as a pet like a game, and it can also be used to fight, I think when he was in junior high school, he was playing with the digital tyrannosaur machine.

Su Shichen is inspired by living here, the Digimon machine can be so attractive because of the introduction of anime Digimon, isn't it the power of the Flood Wilderness in the "Flood Series" that has been substituted? Cultivating a Battle Tyrannosaurus Beast and a Red Lotus Knight Beast are very refreshing, but wouldn't it feel more refreshing to cultivate the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Three Qing Twelve Ancestral Witches?

"Is there really no problem with a set of models?" Zhao Fan also stayed in Shanshi.

Originally, it was 999 sets, but because of Su Shichen's temporary idea, all of them were returned to the factory for production, and only one set was made, plus the certification system of the pit father, so the sales of one set were changed to the sales of one by one.

"If you want to make a model, you have to make it more classic, and I believe that the model will definitely sell well." Su Shichen was full of confidence and patted Zhao Fan, "Brother Fan, don't worry, a set can be sold out." ”

There are so many characters in the "Flood Wilderness Series", the demon clan alone is an endless number of little demons, and the Flood Wilderness series model only has the main characters, that is, five hundred and thirty-nine character models.

"I don't want to have one set, it's very good that this set can be sold out for one-fifth, after all, the price is too high." The price is indeed a little high, but this is not the high price set by Su Shichen and them in order to collect money. From the previous exhibition, you can see the jishu content and value of the model, and this pricing is already very generous. But even so, it is nearly five times more expensive than the models on the market, can it really be sold?

Obviously, Zhao Fan completely underestimated the influence of the "Flood Series", and even more underestimated the charm of the cultivation game.

In the special model order page specially opened on the official website of Shanshi Company, it can be seen that the crazy craze -

"It's finally coming out, I've been wanting to buy something since I watched the flood wilderness, and now I finally have it."

"None of you should rob me, the domineering character model of Donghuang Taiyi must be mine."

"Cut, a group of local goods, this situation must be the most awesome, who is the most awesome? Of course, it is the great god of Pangu, and with one blow to open the heavenly axe, the three thousand innate gods and demons will be turned into ashes. ”

"I want Hongjun, Pangu Shenma are all floating clouds."

"You all don't argue, can anyone tell me that Weishenme hasn't gone on sale yet? This is order-only? ”

"Needless to say. This is the so-called hunger marketing, and it's another trick, can you come up with something new? ”

……

"More than 60,000 orders. There's nothing wrong with this data, right? Zhao Fan doubted his eyes and the data of the website, according to this price that was nearly five times higher than the ordinary model, he originally thought that it would be very good to sell more than 100 at the beginning, but now......

As many as tens of thousands of messages, and more than 67,000 orders.

This number completely stimulated Zhao Fan's eyes, not to mention one set of this order volume, even if it is ten sets, it can be completely digested in an instant. This time it really won!

"Weishenme's official website hasn't gone on sale yet?" Zhao Fan was slightly excited.

"There's no way, the revision is too hasty, and the flood space has not been perfected."

Flood space. That is, the game space after logging in with the model QR code scanning, just like a web game, log in with your mobile phone, and then you can learn skills and so on. Although I don't know who is ahead of this shijie's technology compared to the earth in the previous life, Su Shichen can be sure that this shijie will definitely surpass the earth in the previous life in terms of games. In terms of game graphics alone, it is far beyond the earth of the previous life.

But even if the game is strong. But it's not so strong that it is, so I haven't released the product for a long time. If you think about it, what if a reader buys a model and finds out that the game has a lot of bugs, that's the main reason, not some hunger marketing.

"The customer is God, and it is true that the patience of the customer is not the way to go, in this case. That's it! Su Shichen muttered to the staff of the official website for a while. Zhao Fan saw the smile on the corner of Su Shichen's mouth, and he didn't know what he had come up with......

The competition between peers has always been a dragon and a tiger, because the company has slowly become stronger and has set up a lot of enemies, plus there has never been a model released with such a big battle as the Honghuang series of character models, so these publishing houses are secretly slandering, good haode books do not promote, but want to run to promote peripheral products, all waiting to see the model sales failure, Shanshi company fell a big heel.

Not only that, but the official website of Shanshi Company also auctioned the model, yes, it's like the kind of auction that is, the one with the highest price wins, it's absolutely whimsical, and it really treats the model as an antique.

But as a result, it is completely stunned, and the order with a sales price of more than 50,000 is completely in short supply.

This is not the most amazing, the most amazing thing is that the auction, that is, the two character models of Hongjun and Pangu, the auction price on the Internet has exceeded one million, and the price of one model has exceeded one million?!

They don't understand, they are all models of the Honghuang series, and they are equal in terms of craftsmanship, and these two models can be sold at such a high price?

This is why they don't understand it too much, Pangu Open Heaven God, Hongjun is the first saint of heaven and earth with his body, can these two characters have the same status in the hearts of Hong Fan compared to Cihangdao people and Burning Lamp?

The craftsmanship is indeed the same, but the identities are very different, and the abilities and talents of the characters in the game are naturally very different.

And they don't know gamers too well, there are not a few people who spend millions of dollars on the game even in the previous life on the earth, plus there are two added values of "Flood Series" and exquisite models, so it is no problem to speculate on such a high price, and it is even a lot worse than the price expected in Su Shichen's heart.

"A model that crosses the times, leads the storm" - "Seafood Daily"

"The sky-high price model, the flood model is popular all over China" - "Morning Talk"

"Super Connotation Model, Challenge the Limits of Your Imagination" - Painting and Newspaper

Many newspapers and magazines have commented on the model.

The flood model has become the focus of society, but don't forget that the press conference released two things, the second thing is that the reconstructed and revised "Flood Wilderness V. The End of the Law Era" has been listed, just like a bombshell, bombing the market.

The model and the reconstructed "Age of the End of Law" rekindled the long-cooled flood storm.

The revised "The Age of the End of Law" has received rave reviews both on the Internet and in the market......

PS: Accumulate character, send it in advance, and anyone knows the Sherlock Holmes fandom that kitten said?
