In June, when the weather is getting hotter, when Sun Peng is enjoying the braised pork and spicy grilled fish that his sister-in-law inherited from his grandmother, while busy at the end of his new book animation, thousands of miles away in the magic capital, two men who have a relationship with him get together.

"Ziyo!"

After taking a sip of Jiangnan Red, Han Feng's already slightly dark face suddenly wrinkled, and he hurriedly gasped for two breaths to drive away the spicy energy of the liquor.

"Hey, you drink slowly."

Frowning, Zheng Ye shook his head and persuaded him. He still couldn't figure out why so many people liked liquor when something like liquor was spicy and top-throated, and how good it would be to have some beer in summer like him?

"Tsk, this wine is really strong."

Although he is in the magic capital, as a complete northerner, Han Feng still likes to have some spicy wine, and he can't help but smack his lips and praise after drinking.

Looking at Han Feng's enjoyment, Zheng Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Old Han, what is the matter with you calling me out today?" You said you had something to ask me, but you said yes! ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask about the sales of the Condor physical book."

Squinting his eyes and taking a bite of food, Han Feng said casually: "The main thing is that I haven't been together with you for a few days, so I just took this opportunity to have a meal together." ”

"Huh? Why do you care about the sales of the Condor Archery? ”

After hearing Han Feng's words, he was slightly stunned, and Zheng Ye asked with some puzzlement.

Although Condor Shooting was first serialized on the Shuxiang Chinese Internet, firstly, the editor at that time was not Han Feng, and secondly, Condor Archery was never on the shelves...... Of course, the most important thing is that the sales of the physical version have nothing to do with the editors of their website, so this old Han called himself out specifically to ask why this is the case?

Rolling his eyelids, Han Feng shouted a little impatiently: "Oh, you just talk about it first!" ”

"Sales are not bad...... Uh, I should say it's very good! ”

Shaking his head helplessly, Zheng Ye said patiently: "Actually...... The sales of Condor Shooting were really a bit unexpected to us. At first, I thought that 60,000 copies could be sold for half a year, but I didn't expect to sell nearly 10,000 copies in the first week; Later, I thought that I would have to reprint it in two or three months, but I didn't expect that we would have no books to distribute in just over a month; Later, I thought that the printing of 50,000 copies would last for a while, but it turned out to be ......."

"The result?"

His pupils shrank slightly, and Han Feng hurriedly asked.

"As a result, these 50,000 copies are not slow to sell!"

Shaking his head, Zheng Ye said with a smile: "I thought that the people who bought the book were all readers and fans on the Internet, but I didn't expect that after the Condor entered the ranking of Guoke.com, word of mouth exploded, and those passers-by readers also began to start after reading the fans' evaluations, and the sales did not drop much at all...... If this continues, it is likely that 100,000 copies will be sold in three months, can you believe such an achievement? ”

"One hundred thousand?!"

After listening to Zheng Ye's answer, Han Feng suddenly exclaimed: "If you say 100,000 yuan in three months, won't you sell 500,000 sets in a year?" This number can be in the top 100 of the annual list, right? This...... This is to heaven! ”

"Hehe, isn't it!"

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of beer, Zheng Ye felt a little proud in his heart. It's a bit embarrassing to make a mistake in judgment, but the more shameful things you can do for an editor, the better!

Looking at the corners of Zheng Ye's upturned mouth, Han Feng suddenly became a little unbalanced, and put down the wine glass with a long sigh: "Alas, you're fine, I'm here for ...... Let me tell you this, that kid just sent me a message, saying that Xiaoao will be finished at the end of June. ”

"Finished? So fast?! ”

Slightly stunned, Zheng Ye's eyes suddenly widened.

"yes, less than a million words again!"

After another long sigh, Han Feng said distressedly: "Lao Zheng, you talk about it, just laugh at his current achievements, he just needs to insist on writing three million...... No, as long as two million words, I promise to order fifty, three million, eighty, four million...... Maybe he can break 100 and become the fifth top god of Shuxiang Chinese Network! Tell me, isn't that the truth? ”

"Hehe, so what?"

Enjoying the feeling of being slightly drunk after drinking, Zheng Ye glanced at Han Feng, who had already begun to put on his face, and said, "You know the truth that the longer the novel, the higher the subscription, doesn't that kid know?" But people just don't want to, what can you do? ”

When he said this, Zheng Ye was actually a little refreshed in his heart.

Don't look at the fact that many of the novels of the publishing house come from the website, but the online text and the physical book are actually in opposition to each other in some places. It seems that it is more advantageous to have a longer article on the Internet, after all, as long as the quality is always guaranteed, the longer the article, the higher the average order may be; But it's not the same for physical books, where concise language is more popular.

So what Han Feng complained about was actually what Zheng Ye expected.

However, as an old friend of Han Feng, Zheng Ye can also understand his dissatisfaction. Everyone hopes that they can produce a top god author, because this represents your confidence and strength, and the most promising author in Han Feng's hands now is Sun Peng, that is, the old Bai Da.

It has been on the shelves for more than three months, and the average order of Xiaoao has already exceeded 200,000!

Even if it is placed on the entire website, this data is also a first-class level, not to mention that Xiaoao still belongs to the declining chivalrous novel sector, and it is definitely a miracle to be able to get such a result! Because of this, Han Feng was so depressed after receiving Sun Peng's notice that Xiaoao was about to finish the book yesterday, and he had never produced a top god under him......

"Old Han, don't worry too much about it."

Looking at Han Feng, who was depressed, Zheng Ye comforted him very kindly: "In fact, you and I both know very well that although Condor Shooting and Xiaoao are classics, they are ...... Lao Bai's writing determines that although the online subscription is good, it is difficult to really go to the top position, and the future of these books is still in the physical version. ”

"Uh......"

opened his mouth to say something, but Han Feng finally picked up the wine glass and took another sip.

Although he wanted to refute, he knew that what Zheng Ye said was the truth.

Although the Condor Shooting and Xiaoao are different from the traditional chivalrous novels, it can be said that they have created a new school, that is, the martial arts novels that Sun Peng said. There are not only breathtaking sects, internal strength, hidden weapons and all kinds of magical exercises, but also amazing and brilliant characters such as the Five Uniques, Undefeated in the East, and Qingyang, as well as the plot that makes people can't help but open their brains and shoot amazing cases, which definitely has all the inevitable elements of a fire on the Internet.

Merely......

What makes people sigh is that the time when the Condor and Xiaoao were born was wrong.

In this era of mainstream fast food literature, what is needed on the Internet is the plot and various settings of Condor Shooting and Laughing, but it does not need such wonderful writing!

That's right, the text of the two books is just too good.

It sounds a strange thing, but it's a fact that what the editors thought was so good that it didn't work out on the Internet.

What the Internet needs in this era is simple, straightforward text.

Young readers are either reading books or working, and most of them have very limited time to read, and the main purpose of reading books is to entertain, kill time, or relieve stress. In this case, the book should not only be wonderful, but also straightforward and simple, only in this way can they accept the maximum amount of information in the shortest time, in other words, they don't have to think too much when reading the book, and they won't miss too much information at a glance.

Therefore, the length of millions of words is one of the characteristics of online novels.

Therefore, compared to these online novels, the text of Condor Shooting and Xiaoao is not suitable for this way of reading quickly, but to sit down and read slowly. This kind of book can reach the current level of subscription on the book Chinese.com, in addition to the fact that the quality of the novel is really high and scary, and the editors can't find a second reason......

Of course, Han Feng also understood this, but when he thought of Sun Peng's indifferent but firm attitude, he could only sigh helplessly and said, "Come on, I don't want to do so much." But Xiaoao will finish the book soon, haven't you negotiated with Lao Bai yet? ”

"Hey, don't mention it."

Speaking of Xiao Ao's physical book, this time it was Zheng Ye's turn to be depressed, he sighed with a bitter face: "The sales of the Condor are good, and we still regret that the twelve royalties given to him are too high, but I didn't expect people to think it was too low, and it has been grinding for more than a month and no agreement has been reached, and it is a toss to death......"
