"Clumsy and extraordinary: Of course, even if the publicity effect is not good, it is fine, then the main thing should be that my work does not meet the expectations of readers, and it has nothing to do with your publicity strategy, Mr. Al."

Ji Zhuo replied to the news of the editor-in-chief of Eyre, and then comforted the editor-in-chief of El in advance.

After all, the editor-in-chief of Al is so attentive, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to go according to the results he expected when the time comes.

On the other side, the editor-in-chief of Al looked at the news from Mr. I, and was a little excited, quite a little emotional.

He saw Mr. I's trust in Al Press, and his support for him, even if this kind of publicity would cause Mr. I and Al Press to suffer infamy in the early stage.

But Mr. I still firmly supported his approach, and deliberately excluded his responsibilities and worries!

He had already decided that he had to make Mr. I's great work as he deserved.

Even if it is on this book, it doesn't matter if Al Publishing doesn't make money!

We can't let down that trust.

In addition, even if the publishing house of this book does not make money, it will also make money if the reputation of the publishing house is beaten!

'Al:Mr. I, rest assured, the publisher will do everything in its power to promote your work and will not let your work be drowned! ’

Al was in a mood and replied to Ji Zhuo's message.

At this end, you can see through the screen that El is excited.

Looking at the news, he was silent,

Then there seemed to be nothing more to say, so I replied silently,

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Al for your hard work.

AL: It's an honor for Al Publishing to publish your work! ”

On the other side, after the editor-in-chief of Al Publishing House replied to this message,

With the excitement in his heart, he turned his head again and shouted to his wife Penny,

"Penny! Mr. I supports our approach! More investment, more publicity! I want to let the readers who should be reading it know "Ordinary and Great"! ”

"Add more online media!"

The mainstream media Al Publishing House has no channels, and it doesn't have so much money to help write that kind of exaggerated propaganda draft.

However, if you find some online media and personal accounts, and spend a little more money, you can still send out a lot of such propaganda drafts.

The promotional drafts of online media can still make readers who browse relevant news and related news see it from time to time, and even have a feeling of overwhelmingness.

……

"Mr. Carroll, recently there is a small publishing house on the Internet, in an exaggerated way, trying to steal some heat from our publishing house co-writer ABC and that writer."

Bert Press, Carol was in a good mood during this time.

The news that "The Imperial Epic" won the Goncourt Literary Prize, and that ABC's next book will be a fair competition with his friend 'Dog Author',

It still occupies a lot of heat on the Internet.

Although the sales of "Imperial Epic" have dropped a lot compared to before, they have never plummeted.

It still maintains good weekly sales, and the long-term flow adds luster to its total sales results.

Lena entered the office and handed Carol a sales table related to "Imperial Epic" and "Seven Sins" in the last week.

Before leaving, he paused again and told Carol about the recent movements on the Internet.

"I know, I see it too."

From time to time, Carol also opened a trumpet and had a heated discussion with the readers of the dog author, and the recent movements on the Internet have naturally been noticed.

"Shall we do something about it? After all, the heat they seized should have belonged to us. ”

Lina's eyes lit up and she looked at Carol.

She doesn't really care about the matter itself, but more about whether ABC's new book will be released in the near future.

If it is released in the near future, the publisher will definitely need to maintain the current popularity on the Internet so that it can start promoting the new book.

And she, as the editor of Bert Press and a loyal reader of Mr. ABC, will be able to see and read Mr. ABC's new book.

"Let me ask first. Ask Mr. A if his new book will be released in the near future. ”

Carol thought for a moment and replied.

Recently, the popularity of 'ABC' and 'dog authors' on the Internet mainly comes from the huge readership of the two.

The publishing house did not spend any money to maintain it, and naturally there were millions of readers on both sides of the Internet from time to time to have some small frictions and heated discussions anywhere on the Internet, and occasionally they were concerned about when the next two writers' new books would be released.

"Hmmm......"

Lina answered, nodded, and didn't rush out.

Just standing on the side of the office, looking at Carol.

Carol turned her gaze to the computer screen, put her hand on the keyboard and deliberated on sending a message to Mr. A.

……

"Ji Zhuo?"

"It's okay......"

Ji Zhuo has just finished communicating with the editor-in-chief of Al on the publicity strategy of "Ordinary and Great".

I picked up Kuaizi and ate less than two Kuaizi dinners, and I received another message on my mobile phone.

When I picked it up, it was Carol, and I could only eat it while holding my phone in one hand to reply to the message.

"Carol: Mr. A, excuse me. Have you finished dinner?

Clumsy and extraordinary: eating.

Carol: I'm sorry to disturb Mr. A......

Clumsy and Extraordinary: ......

Clumsy and extraordinary: Editor-in-chief Carroll, if you have something to say, just say it. ”

I don't know where I learned the polite way.

Ji Zhuo replied to the message again,

It's just a short pause, and then there's news back,

"Carol: Mr. A, this time I want to ask you, will your work be released in the near future?

Carol: Of course, it's not a rush...... The main reason is that some publishing houses on the Internet are beginning to seize the popularity of new book promotion.

Carol: If Mr. A's work is ready to be released in the near future, the publisher will start to warm up the publicity, and it just so happens that Mr. A, when you won the Prix Goncourt, the popularity is still there. ”

Some publishers are grabbing the heat......

Ji Zhuo naturally thought of the exaggerated propaganda of the El Publishing House.

Carol was moved, I guess this is a bit of an effect?

Ji Zhuo thought that Burt Publishing House immediately began to promote ABC's new book, and simply suppressed the popularity of I's new book a little.

But helpless...... It's purely his own inadequacy,

The ABC's new book is still in the air, and it can't be promoted by Bert Press......

"Clumsy and extraordinary: in writing...... It's going to take a while.

Carol: Hmm...... Then the publishing house will not start advertising for the time being? ”

Carol understood as soon as he saw Mr. A's reply, and he was writing, which must have meant creating a new document, so he replied like this.

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: Well......"

Ji Zhuo replied like this, paused, put down his phone and continued to cook.

On the other side,

Bert Press, Carol looked up from the computer screen and turned her gaze,

Lina next to her couldn't help but ask out loud,

"Mr. Carroll, how's it going?"

"Mr. A's new book is still a while away."

"Then we don't care about the publicity of those small publishing houses on the Internet to grab the heat?"

"How can it not be ...... Although Mr. A's new book doesn't need to be promoted, it can't be snatched away from the popularity of "Imperial Epic", which originally belonged to us. ”

"The Imperial Epic is still published and sold, so you still need daily publicity, right?"

Carol said with a smile.

Lina nodded,

"But don't worry too much about that little publishing house...... What is the greatest new work of the year, an excellent masterpiece of magical realism...... It's all empty and white-toothed, empty and contentless touting,

It's like a clown in a circus. Don't look at the excitement now, how lively it is now, how much praise it is, and how miserable it will be scolded when the book is actually released.

But not all works can afford to be great. ”

Carol said with a smile.

Before, he read the promotional draft of that small publishing house, and he was embarrassed by that publishing house.

is bluntly touted, but the content is not mentioned at all, is the content not worthy of praise?

Also great works?

In Carroll's heart, among the works published this year, there is only one work that plays this adjective,

That is the British Literary Award, the Goncourt Literary Prize-winning work, and the Imperial Epic.

Even "Seven Days of Hell", which was compared by some readers, he felt that it was worse.

"You're right, Mr. Carroll."

Lina nodded, a smile on her face.

It's impossible for a small publishing house to publish a work that is also created by a good writer like Mr. ABC.

How could such a good writer submit to such a small publishing house?

Carol smiled along.

……

"Big brother, come on?"

The little chubby dun under the gazebo handed over potato chips to Ji Zhuo,

Ji Zhuo lowered his head and glanced at the little fat dun, and touched a handful of potato chips.

Leaning on the pillar of the gazebo, he sat back, raised his head, and ate potato chips.

Next to him, Chubby Dun was also eating potato chips while holding his mobile phone and fighting fiercely.

Ji Zhuo raised his head and looked at the night.

Divergent thinking.

After eating dinner, on the way back to the community,

Ji Zhuo also received a message from Editor-in-Chief Lou.

It's almost a concern about his new book, but unfortunately, his new book hasn't been seen yet.

Dog Author, ABC, I, Ji Zhuo!

You've got to hurry up and write a new book!

Ji Zhuo shouted in his heart, and his head rested on the pillar of the pavilion and moved,

It's a bit awkward.

"Hey......"

Someone next to him sighed,

It's Chubby.

Ji Zhuo tilted his head and glanced at it,

I don't know when, Little Fat Dun has finished playing the game and is melancholy there.

"Hey...... The game is not fun, and the dog author always doesn't release new books, and that ABC doesn't say that he will release a new book recently. ”

Chubby lifted his chin and sighed again.

"Maybe you might want to consider watching anime?"

Ji Zhuo paused, and also remembered,

"The anime of "Hour Leap to Death" should be broadcast soon."

"yes, the anime looks like it's about to start!"

Little Fat Dun's eyes lit up, and he picked up the mobile phone and quickly opened the broken station.

"Today, it's updated tonight, and it's on the air!"

Little Fat Dun said with some surprise, and then clicked on the play,

"Big brother, do you want to watch it together?"

"Look."

Ji Zhuo shook his head,

The little chubby dun was there to take care of himself, and looked at it with great interest,

Then, presumably, the anime of "Hour Hand" also continued the tense and terrifying style of the original,

I saw Xiao Chubby Dun holding his mobile phone, shrinking back and shaking from time to time.

I was fascinated and nervous to watch.

Ji Zhuo lay there, sat for a while, and then got up and went back to the house.

……

"Crackling ......"

"Pop ......"

"Hoo ......"

The crackling of keyboards in the study began in the morning and did not stop until late afternoon or even into the night.

Eight or nine days passed like this.

In the past nine days, Ji Zhuo has basically spent time in code words and new books.

The code words of the new book are tightened a little tighter.

The great chapter of "The Ordinary and the Great" is also written quite smoothly,

In these days, the content of the great chapter has been almost written.

"Hoo ......"

With a sigh of relief, Ji Zhuo, who was sitting in the study, paused his hand on the keyboard.

Then on the page of the codeword software, the last three words of "Ordinary and Great" were typed.

(End of book)"

This is where the whole book "Ordinary and Great" ends.

Ji Zhuo's whole person was relaxed,

Then I started to feel backache and fatigue.

Stretching his somewhat stiff shoulders and back, Ji Zhuo glanced at the word count in the lower left corner of the screen again.

The entire book "Ordinary and Great" is translated into Chinese, almost about 300,000 words,

The ordinary chapters are slightly longer, while the great chapters are slightly shorter.

It also took Ji Zhuo almost twenty days to write.

This is still the next few days, Ji Zhuo extended the time of the code word a day.

At this time, looking at the entire book of "Ordinary and Great" that has been written, Ji Zhuo is still quite satisfied.

I'm such a hardworking and good author.

While touching the mouse again, Ji Zhuo took a rough look at the great chapters behind him from the beginning,

By the way, correct the typo and check if there are any problems.

It took about half an hour, and Ji Zhuo took a cursory look at the entire great chapter,

Directly export the 'great' chapter and send it to the editor-in-chief of Eyre Publishing House.

I buttoned the computer directly, touched the mobile phone next to me and got up.

He just wants to find a noodle restaurant and fill his hungry stomach now.

Then find a Chinese medicine orthopaedic massage shop and pinch his stiff and sore back.

……

“…… Penny! Penny! ”

White Flag Country, it's still afternoon.

Al was in his office looking at some of the effects and effects of the press release of the publishing house on the Internet,

Then I saw Mr. I send him a message, click on it and take a look,

I saw that Mr. I sent the 'great' chapter of "Ordinary and Great".

Immediately Al became excited, and stood up with a little red on his face,

shouted to Penny outside the office,

I wanted to read the second half of the work with his wife and assistant.

"What's wrong?"

"Great chapter, Mr. I sent the great chapter!"

"Really?"

Penny's eyes lit up, and then she hurriedly walked over from the office door,

"Then open it up and take a look, right? I can't wait to read the rest of the story! ”

"Haha, so am I."

Al laughed excitedly twice, then turned around,

The two sat down in front of the computer,

Al touched the mouse, downloaded the manuscript of the great chapter sent by Mr. I, and opened it.

These days, Al is a little anxious.

It's not just that as a loyal reader who wants to see what he likes in the back of the work,

I am also anxious to publish "The Ordinary and the Great" as soon as possible.

Although the propaganda strategy of taking the sword and going off the beaten path has brought a lot of popularity or infamy to "Ordinary and Great".

But the unfriendly heat of this kind of exaggerated propaganda does not necessarily last long.

In addition, in the field of publishing, ABC, dog authors and their works, which have recently occupied the most popularity in the field of literature,

The publishing houses that published the works of these two writers did not sit idle, so that Al Publishing used this way to seize the popularity of the works that originally belonged to their publishing houses.

Even if the news of the two authors has not yet released a new book,

But even these two publishing houses, which have great resources, normally use their resources to publicize the popularity brought by the already published "Imperial Epic", "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand",

has already made the promotion of "Ordinary and Great" by Al Publishing House very uncomfortable, and has seriously overstocked the popularity of "Ordinary and Great".

Other than that

Although Al has enough confidence in "The Ordinary and the Great",

But if he could, he still didn't want to bump into the new books of the two writers in this situation.

So it's best if "The Ordinary and the Great" could be published earlier.

"Hoo ......"

The content of the 'great' chapter has been opened,

El exhaled, clearing out his own distractions,

Then I turned my attention to the 'great' chapter that was displayed on the computer screen.

soon

As the author's words are described, Al and Penny seem to be drawn into the world of the book, immersed in it.

In the office, it was quiet again.
