"Huating Publishing Qian Editor-in-Chief: Mr. Bugong, Huating Publishing Edition's version of "Hour Hands Leaping to Death" has been released, and the current sales are very good."

"Modu Publishing Tao Editor-in-Chief: ...... Mr. Ji, "Hour Hand", which was published and sold by Modu Publishing House and Huating Publishing House at the same time, is currently counted on the first day of sales, and our side is 1.8w copies.

Editor-in-Chief Qian: Our side is a 1.5w volume, Lao Tao is relying on his many offline channels, in fact, the sales sold online Huating Publishing are more than that of Modu Publishing.

Editor-in-Chief Tao: What do you mean by fighting? Your publishing house's offline channels are not good, why, do you want me to cut the offline channels without having to compete fairly with you?

Editor-in-Chief Qian: No, I'm just stating a basic fact, what are you anxious about?

Editor-in-Chief Tao: I'm in a hurry, I think some people are in a hurry, and they can say this kind of thing because of many offline channels......"

After a while.

Ji Zhuo received another message from the group with the two editors-in-chief of Huating Publishing and Modu Publishing House.

But before Ji Zhuo could reply, the two of them were arguing with themselves in the group.

At this moment, the genius is black.

Ji Zhuo stayed in the study for another afternoon, and coded the "Imperial Epic" for a day.

To this day, in the second chapter of the "Imperial Epic", the story of the Weiss people and the 'Sen' is basically finished.

Except for the first day, it took Ji Zhuo two or three days to write the entire second chapter.

The second chapter is about the same length as the first, with tens of thousands of words.

now

Out of the study, Ji Zhuo, who simply ate a takeaway, was in the living room and signed "Seven Sins".

The first two thousand copies of "Seven Sins" that need to be signed by him have been sent this morning.

Twenty large cardboard boxes, each containing 100 copies of The Seven Sins.

The boxes were blocking the hallway to the bedroom.

"The heart is like a starry sky, the vastness is boundless - ABC"

Ji Chen is signing the Chinese version of "Seven Sins" at this time,

Holding the pen tightly in his hand, he signed the name in italics.

Only in this way can Ji's Chinese signature not be easily recognized.

Holding his breath, Ji Zhuo almost gritted his teeth,

It's a crime.

It was easy to sign a box of 100 copies, Ji Shu turned back, and there were still nine boxes in the Chinese version.

"I'm tired, so be it. Let's sign it tomorrow. ”

Ji Zhuo threw the signature pen, collapsed on the sofa, and touched his mobile phone.

I saw the editors-in-chief of the two publishing houses, who were constantly arguing in the group.

"Editor-in-Chief Qian: Hey, why can't I say it, I won't say it, Mr. Bugong still thinks that the online sales of the Demon Capital Publishing House have surpassed ours.

Editor-in-Chief Tao: Eh, yes, you have high online sales, you are shameless, you said that it will be released at the same time, and you will also open a pre-sale.

Editor-in-Chief Qian: Eh, you didn't open it?

Editor-in-Chief Tao: I didn't open it until I saw you open it, otherwise the online sales would not all be sold to your publishing house?

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......

Clumsy and extraordinary: Thank you, two editors-in-chief, I see. ”

Ji Zhuo flipped forward and saw the first day of publication sales of "The Hour Needle Leaps to Death" that the two said,

There are more than 10,000 in a family, adding up to more than 30,000.

Looking at this sales, Ji Zhuo may be used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he feels like nothing.

"The Hour Leap to Death" is a work that has been serialized before, and it has such a high online subscription,

In fact, it will definitely affect the publication results, because he did not hide this book "Hour Hands Leap to Death" from the beginning, plus Fei Mo and the publicity when he received the award for "Caged Bird".

Many readers who originally bought his published books were also attracted to read the book "Hour Hand".

Most people still don't buy a published book after reading it.

Of course, the results of "Hour Hand" itself are here, and the new readers who have been attracted, the old readers who have not read it, and the readers who have read it and are ready to buy it back for collection,

Naturally, the sales can't be too bad, after all, it's the work of a dog author.

As for those who are 'blind', they don't care what kind of books he writes and read them directly, can support a lot of sales.

Well...... Think about the sales of more than 30,000 on the first day, it actually seems to be quite good?

Or it is already very good compared to the domestic publishing market.

Of course, it is also because the book is laid out in the open face from the beginning,

So most probability, the highest sales of this book was when he was in his first week.

Later, because of the dog author, because the readers who have read the book and are ready to collect it have all bought it, all the new readers will buy it, and the sales of this book will definitely drop a lot and enter the stage of a long stream.

"Editor-in-Chief Qian: Mr. Bugong is polite, we haven't done anything, and I have to thank you, Mr. Bugong, for bringing such a good work to the publishing house and readers.

Editor-in-Chief Tao: Mr. Ji is polite.

Editor-in-Chief Tao: Do you have any new works created by Mr. Ji recently, if you want to publish them, you can consider our Modu Publishing House.

Qian Editor-in-Chief: ???

Editor-in-Chief Qian: Can't you think more about Mr. Bugong, just after creating the work "Hour Hand", you don't need to take a break?

Editor-in-Chief Qian: Of course, if Mr. Bugong has any new works, he can choose our Huating Publishing House, after all, the cooperation between Mr. Bugong and our Huating Publishing has always been quite pleasant.

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......

Clumsy and extraordinary: talk again, talk again. ”

Why is there a reminder for a new book everywhere?

Ji Zhuo replied, and slipped away directly.

There are only two editors-in-chief left in the group who are not too young to continue to quarrel.

"Editor-in-Chief Tao: Why did you choose your publishing house? We originally cooperated well with Mr. Ji, so do we have to intervene in your Huating Publishing House?

Editor-in-Chief Qian: What is a sideways kick? Our Huating Publishing House is specially designed for authors, especially authors like Mr. Bugong, unlike your publishing house, which urges new books and asks for new books all day long.

Tao Editor-in-Chief: Sycophant.

Editor-in-Chief Qian: ??

Editor-in-Chief Qian: Besides, Mr. Bugong's best-selling book, "Caged Bird", is published by our publishing house, you see, which of the works published by your publishing house is as good as "Caged Bird"

Editor-in-Chief Qian: It's not that you delayed Mr. Bugong.

Editor-in-Chief Tao: You Huating also publishes science fiction, and you have the ability to publish others?

Tao's editor-in-chief: "Revival Cthulhu", "Seven Days of Hell" and "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" can be published by your publishing house?

Editor-in-Chief Qian: Our publishing house has the highest-selling "Caged Bird"

……

In the small group, the two editors-in-chief didn't pay attention to it anymore.

just slumped on the sofa, blowing the evening breeze, playing with the mobile phone by the way,

Take a look at the messages in your readership.

"Canyon Grass: It's outrageous! An anime theme song is about to hit the top of the music software's new song charts, and you're all a bunch of animals.

Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: You are high, you don't listen?

Canyon Grass: I've heard it a dozen times, how can it be like you...... Anyway, the dog author can fill in the words, it's okay.

Once in the sea: I slept listening to the song last night, and dreamed of the shepherd boy at night, as if I followed the shepherd boy in that world for a swim, and I felt comfortable in the morning...... The main thing is to be in a relaxed mood.

Eight Immortals Across the Sea: I think that the song is quite in line with the original book and anime style, it makes people very quiet, and it removes a lot of irritability in my heart.

Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: As soon as I thought of the boss of the pen, I gave him a big pocket, and then said that Lao Tzu would quit, but the child had to earn money for milk powder, the mortgage had to be repaid, the water, electricity and gas bills had to be paid, and the family still had to live.

Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Yesterday I listened to the song, and I got up again at night and flipped through "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", and I hid in the living room alone and cried inexplicably. It's so much better after crying.

Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: I feel that the childhood that should have a fairy tale is like a dream, and suddenly it is gone. ”

Well......

Today, the readers in this readership group are suddenly not so sand sculptures, and the words made Ji Zhuo a little silent.

But further down, it didn't take long for other readers to break the somewhat somber atmosphere,

"Little Black House: When you listen to this song, you seem to be thinking of the wonderful world of the shepherd boy looking for immortals, so do you remember that the old cow stayed in the small oasis of the swamp, and the shepherd boy could only continue to search for the fairy alone, and the old cow said that he was waiting for him to come back in the small oasis of the swamp.

Little Black House: When will the shepherd boy return to the fairy?

Canyon Grass:! Lao Tzu can't hold back! Originally, it was uncomfortable to look at the words of the Eight Immortals, but looking at your words, it completely broke the defense for Lao Tzu.

Canyon Grass: Woo Woo...... Old cow, my old cow! Dog author, you don't have a heart!

Once in the sea: Dog author you don't have a heart! If you write a lyric, you're going to give me a knife! ”

Well?

Why did you suddenly scold me again,

Didn't I just write the story of the shepherd boy looking for immortals into the lyrics?

The old cow and the shepherd boy are also part of the story.

I'll just fill in a word, can you blame me?

Oh......

"Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" was also written by me, so it's fine.

……

"Hmph~Hmph......"

Lying on a lounger, the old man closed his eyes,

Some old voices hummed in a shallow tone,

His face was calm, as if he was immersed in it.

"The song is so good......"

"The shallow tone seems to pull me back to when I was reading a book."

After humming the tune, the old man lay down on the chair, closed his eyes, and was silent for a while, and then sat up from the chair a little more, and spoke aloud.

"Uncle Yu hums nicely."

The nurse next to him said with a smile.

"Don't blow it, people are old, short of breath, and the lyrics can't be sung clearly, so they can hum intermittently, and they don't know what they hum."

As the old man spoke, he took off the Bluetooth earbuds in his ear and said with a smile,

The mood seems to be pretty good.

Holding the screen of the mobile phone with one hand, the music that has just been played is the theme song "Seeking Immortals" by the shepherd boy.

"Listening to this song, I think of the "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", and when I think of the shepherd boy looking for immortals, some things that have been going on for a long time are turning over in my mind."

"I told you no, when I was small, I was in the yard, and I moved a chair, and the chair was still sitting on my grandfather when he was still alive, and it was also cold when you leaned on the wooden chair in the summer evening......"

The old man was originally smiling and talking, but he stopped talking,

"Hey...... As people get older, their memory is getting worse and worse...... I should have told you about this, so I won't talk about it. ”

The smile on his face was gone, and there was silence for a while, and the old man lay back on the chaise longue.

"Uncle Yu, you talk about it, it's weird and interesting to listen to."

The nurse next to him said with a smile.

"I really want to hear it...... Okay, then I'll talk about it again. ”

The old man hesitated, then moved again, sat up and said,

"Then my mother told me stories...... My mother didn't have much education, and she always heard stories from others, and my father sometimes sat next to me, and my mother told me stories, and he sometimes liked to interject. ”

"In his mouth, one story sounded like another, and my mother didn't tell it scary, he told it scary...... Sometimes I am so scared that my heart is up and down, my face is a little white, and my mother is so angry that she whips my father. ”

The old man said, laughing,

Just laughing, laughing and being a little silent again, I didn't speak for a long time.

The nurse next to him waited for a while, and then asked again,

"And then, Uncle Yu."

"Oh...... And then, I'll tell you what my mother's story was at that time......"

When the old man came back to his senses, he smiled a little more and went on.

……

“…… That's the story...... What's wrong with the baby? ”

"Aha~"

In the bedroom room, the man coaxed his daughter to sleep.

The girl lay flat on the bed, covered with the futon, and leaned her head against her father, listening to the story.

When the man finished telling the story, he turned his head and saw that his daughter was sleepy and groggy, and yawned.

"If you're sleepy, if you're sleepy, close your eyes and sleep."

"Hmmm......"

The girl was sleepy-eyed, with some yawning tears in her eyes, tears blooming,

nodded obediently, and then asked her father,

"Dad, when will I ever listen to that author's story again...... I'm so sleepy listening to these other people's stories. ”

The girl said.

Isn't that just right, telling you a story is putting you to sleep.

The man couldn't help but think, but looking at his daughter's appearance, his heart was about to melt again.

"The author of the story hasn't written a new story yet. Baby, go to bed first, and when the author of the story has some new stories, I'll tell you about them right away. ”

"Hmmm......"

When the girl heard her father's words, she couldn't stay sleepy any longer, closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

The man watched his daughter fall asleep, and carefully straightened the corners of the quilt.

He left the room lightly and closed the door.

Standing in the corridor, the man touched his mobile phone again,

Open non-ink, start reading, open the hot search on social platforms and take a look.

Well, I didn't see any movement of the dog author to release a new book.

In fact, he also wants to know when the dog author will release a new book.

"Dog author, what about the new book? It's been a few days, and the donkeys of the production team don't dare you to rest like this! ”

"Dog author...... No, the author is big, my daughter likes you very much, I used to read you every day to coax her to sleep, and now she reads you every day before going to bed, so can you send a new book early, it's best to heal the new book......"

After sending two reviews of the new book, the man went to his bedroom.

What are these two screens called, this is called 'Enwei and Shi',

So isn't the dog author going to hurry up and release a new book?

……

"Hiccup......

When Ji Zhuo was browsing the book review area of "The Hour Needle Leaps to Death",

saw these two comments, and the entire comment area was as Ji Zhuo expected,

It's all a review of all kinds of new books.

There are humble readers waiting for new books online, and there are sand sculpture readers who change their tricks every day to urge new books.

"Dog author, I have a monk friend who hasn't combed his hair since his old comb broke.

Today I went to see him in the temple, and I saw him walking back and forth in the temple, and his mouth kept chanting words, I will bring the gift to him, and he opened it to find it for a while.

And he kept on and on, and I heard him babble,

'No new combs, no new combs, no new books...... When will the new comb come, I can't live without the new comb......'.

Dog author, do you understand what he means? ”

For these readers who are urging new books, Ji Zhuo can only say sorry.

No way, "Imperial Epic" is still being written.

"Dream of the Stars" will take some time to be released.

But these sand sculptures are interesting to readers.

After flipping through a few more sand sculpture comments, Ji Zhuo turned off the non-ink,

Slipped away, as long as I don't like it, don't reply,

No one knew that I read the reviews of the new book,

I didn't look at it, I didn't.

Since there is no urging for a new book, isn't it reasonable for me to write it slowly?

Ji Zhuo nodded contentedly,

Then look up......

Then the good mood was ruined when I looked up and saw a room full of "Seven Sins" waiting to be signed.

I went to bed at night and lifted the bed, and there were books that needed to be signed.
