Chapter 9 A gimmick used to the extreme

In the next few days, Cao De's previous submissions also responded.

Several newspapers called, ready to sign a contract with Cao De.

However, the price given is not high.

The highest is three hundred, and the lowest is even only one hundred.

In this case, and because of the contract signed with Xinwan Daily, Cao De naturally refused.

At the same time, in the past few days, Xinwan Daily has still not published his novel.

But he called, inquired about Cao De's identity and background, and the next day Xinwan Daily announced the author's age, that is, Cao De's age.

Eighteen years old!

This directly aroused the curiosity of many people.

Eighteen years old, writing novels, and getting the exaggerated price of 1,000 words and 1,000 yuan, everyone is curious!

Day 3!

Xinwan Daily also published the author's origin.

That is, Cao De is from the mainland.

It has aroused the curiosity of many people.

In this era, people's impression of the mainland is backward, ignorant, and poor, and suddenly such a person comes out and writes novels, and it seems that he writes well, and this contrast suddenly comes up.

And under this contrast, people's curiosity is seduced again!

Day 4!

The Xinwan Daily also announced the name of the work.

"Fighting Horses".

Such a strange name, not surprisingly, still attracted the curiosity of many people.

Day 5!

Xinwan Daily published a brief introduction to the work.

This is a world of fighting spirit, there are no fancy and gorgeous martial arts, and some are just fighting spirits that have multiplied to the peak.

The introduction of just one sentence describes the novel setting of the work, and it arouses people's curiosity again.

Day after day, one after another, in just five days, Xinwan Daily has used the gimmick to the extreme by constantly updating related things.

"Fighting for horses? What the hell is this name? ”

"From the mainland? Still eighteen years old? ”

"I have to say, I'm really a little curious about the novel that Xinwan Daily is going to release."

"I'd like to see what novel can be promoted for so many days!"

"If it's not good-looking, I'm going to curse!"

...

Many readers of Xinwan Daily, as well as those who occasionally see Xinwan Daily, have attracted attention to this gimmick.

"This editor-in-chief does have two brushes!"

And Cao De, who looked at the content of the newspaper reports these days, couldn't help but sigh.

To be honest, as a newcomer, he has no advantage in this novel industry.

In this industry, reputation is very important.

When people choose, they subconsciously choose more famous authors.

But with Chen Lang doing this, he also has a little fame, and has attracted the attention of many people, in such a heat, Cao De's attraction will not be lower than that of the old author.

Of course!

Attraction is attraction, strength is strength.

Attraction can only be seen by people, but not by people, if you want people to stay, in the end it depends on strength.

If the strength is not good, it is useless to do anything.

However, in terms of strength, Cao De is still somewhat confident.

After all, what he wrote was not original, but a finished product that had been verified by the market after thirty or forty years.

There is no reason to sell well in the future, and it will not sell well in this era!

---

The other side!

This operation has also attracted wide attention from major newspapers in the industry.

"Xinwan Daily, this is going to fight to the death?"

"Also, those old authors, well-known authors have been warned, what can they do? I can only choose to support one! ”

"Chen Lang has no choice, his paparazzi are excluded, the news can't get first-hand, and well-known writers have been warned, he can only use this kind of grandstanding to support newcomers!"

"Don't say, this time Xinwan Daily really has a chance, this novel was submitted to our newspaper two days ago, I have read it, although the writing is slightly poor, the content is straightforward, but the setting is very novel, and the pace is fast, the plot is also cool, it may be popular!"

"No, whether it's possible or not, anyway, I can't give Xinwan Daily a chance at all, I'm going to find two well-known writers to release a new book together in the next two days, and take away the attention of Xinwan Daily!"

"Yes, I can't leave a chance for Xinwan Daily, and I'm ready to find a well-known writer!"

...

All major newspapers can understand Chen Lang's operation and know that he is doing a gimmick.

However, whether it is a gimmick or not, these newspapers are not ready to give Xinwan Daily a chance.

As a newspaper backed by a large group, once Xinwan Daily is gaining momentum, then their cake will definitely be divided into a large part in the future.

This is something they absolutely will not allow!

Therefore, many newspapers have expressed their readiness to let well-known authors release new books, divert people's attention from Xinwan Daily, and not give Xinwan Daily a chance.

And the disturbances in the industry soon came to Chen Lang's ears.

"Looking for a well-known writer to snipe me? Pity... You're late! Chen Lang smiled and shook his head.

A gimmick for a short period of time will attract attention, but a gimmick for a long time will only make people feel uninteresting.

In five days, this gimmick has actually been almost developed, and it has already made many people pay attention to the novel "Fighting Horses", if it drags on any longer, it will be counterproductive and make people feel disgusted with "Fighting Horses".

Therefore, Chen Lang had long been preparing to release Cao De's novel in the next two days.

Therefore, he doesn't care about industry insiders finding well-known writers to release novels together.

Fiction is not about stir-frying and cooking, you can make it if you want to do it, and you have to conceive it.

Even if you are a well-known writer, it is difficult to start writing without an idea of ten days and half a month.

And these ten days and half a month are already enough.

If "Fighting Horses" can become popular, and it has become popular within ten days and a half, then even if a well-known writer comes out, it can only take away a little attention, and it doesn't hurt, if it can't be popular... That doesn't matter.

Anyway, after this operation, Xinwan Daily has also let people in the industry know, and they give high remuneration, which can also attract many well-known writers to join.

After all, no one is going to have trouble with money!

Come to think of it!

Chen Lang shouted outside, "Old Zhou, come in!" ”

Forthwith!

"Editor-in-chief!"

A bald middle-aged man walked in.

"Tomorrow will start publishing "Fighting Horses"!" Chen Lang commanded.

"Okay!"

The bald middle-aged man nodded, then hesitated, "How many words will be published for the first time!" ”

Chen Lang thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "30,000 words, 30,000 words will be published directly on the first day, and 10,000 words will be published every day in the future!" ”

Cao De gave a total of 100,000 words, and if 30,000 words were published first, and then 10,000 words were published every day, it would last for a maximum of eight days.

But eight days is almost enough to see if it can be popular.

When the time comes, if he can be popular, he will ask Cao De for a new draft, and he will be able to continue to publish it, if he can't be popular, then just forget it and quickly find other well-known writers.

"Understood!"

The bald middle-aged man agreed.

Then he turned and walked away.

"I hope it happens!"

Seeing him leave, Chen Lang looked at the manuscript of "Fighting Horses and Turning Horses" on the table and muttered.

Although no matter whether "Fighting Horses and Horses" is popular in the end or not, it is profitable for their newspaper, but if he can, he still hopes that the other party will be very popular.

After all, if the other party can be popular, they will make more money.
