The martial arts written by Shi Rongliang is called "Cloth Clothes and Heroes".

The overall length of the circulation is also about four volumes.

Gong Minghan after receiving his request.

Naturally, some processes need to be accelerated.

But these things do not affect the announcement of the release date in advance at all.

"I'll go, this bastard just got poached and turned his head at our publishing house, what a fucking piece of rubbish to be a human being."

"Thanks to Sister Yu and the editor-in-chief at that time for giving him the opportunity to publish, this guy is simply ungrateful."

"The scum of society, the scum of the world."

"But this guy has two brushes, and I'm afraid our publishing house will be unlucky this time."

"It's so ruthless, just don't talk about it at all, turn your head and kill it back, it's too poisonous."

Compared to the announcement of the Hanlin Publishing House, no one cares.

The circulation of news from Dingyan Publishing House is relatively extensive.

After all, the scale of this publishing house is one of the best in Tianjin.

After learning that the release date of Shi Rongliang's new work was scheduled on the same day as his own "Legend of the Condor Heroes", Ni Xianghai was very angry in the office.

The hands that slapped the table were red.

Arrogant!

It's so arrogant!

I was sorry to talk to this guy a few days ago.

If no one stays, forget it.

At most, everyone is good to get together and disperse.

But what does this bastard mean now.

For your own publishing house?

A complete white-eyed wolf.

Yu Lanxin, who was sitting outside, could naturally hear the movement in the editor-in-chief's office.

For Shi Rongliang's approach.

Her heart was cold.

It is very likely that the other person is doing this because of himself.

Uncle Ni might have guessed some.

Because the other party knew that Shi Rongliang had pursued him before.

But Lin Hao's side didn't know anything.

If this incident affects the sales of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Yu Lanxin thinks that she will never forgive the other party.

Month.

On the day of the release.

Whether it is Gong Minghan of Dingyan Publishing House or Ni Xianghai of Hanlin Publishing House, they all choose to walk into the nearest bookstore to them.

Both are for the purpose of researching sales on the ground.

Gong Minghan is actually not interested in the new work "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" released by Hanlin Publishing House.

He also did not think that the other side could pose any threat to his side, as if the tragedy had been predicted from the beginning.

Although I don't know why Shi Rongliang did this.

But he was really sympathetic to the small publishing house.

People were poached.

Even newly released works have to be targeted.

Worse than worse.

Appalling.

If the mentality doesn't work.

I'm afraid that I can get sick directly.

As a moderation editor.

In fact, Gong Minghan didn't need to come to the bookstore to inspect at all.

Weekly, monthly, and quarterly sales data is the ultimate basis for feedback on whether a work is popular or not.

But he was a little bit out of his mind.

It takes time for a book lover to read a book.

Data generation and statistics are not achieved overnight.

The editor-in-chief can't wait.

Because Shi Rongliang is a popular author recruited by the publishing house for a very high salary.

The first work he released here should be followed and understood in a timely manner.

Gong Minghan is Shi Rongliang's contracted editor.

Naturally, he was appointed by the editor-in-chief to come out and read the wind reviews.

All right.

It's easier than work.

So he himself is not very repulsive.

After entering the bookstore.

Gong Minghan looked directly at the top row of bookshelves.

It's hard to say about other cities, but in Jindu, the works of their Dingyan Publishing House are definitely the most eye-catching in major bookstores.

Sure enough.

Just a glance.

Gong Minghan saw Shi Rongliang's new work "Cloth Heroes".

The price is 20 yuan.

Except for individual short stories.

This is basically the average price of all a single book.

And it's Sunday.

There are still a lot of customers who come to the bookstore.

Most of them are young people.

But there are also some old bookworms.

This bookstore is a bit small.

There are no sofa benches.

So Gong Minghan took the book casually and stood next to the shelf of "The Cloth Hero".

This position is the first to control the feedback of book lovers after reading.

Because it is the most conspicuous position.

So soon, some book fans picked up this book of "The Cloth Cloth Hero" to read.

It should have been ten minutes since I watched it.

Gong Minghan saw the young man put the book back again.

At the same time, the man frowned.

Obviously, this is an emoji that I don't plan to buy.

Looked at

Gong Minghan was not in a hurry.

After all, one book can't satisfy everyone's fantasies.

As long as it can satisfy the majority of people, it is enough.

Immediately afterwards, the second fan who picked up "The Cloth Hero" came, slightly older, wearing glasses, and looking very literary.

Gong Minghan waited a little nervously.

In the past, the heartbeat often followed the data, but at this moment, it is a completely different feeling, which is very intuitive.

This time was no exception, the other party didn't even hold out for five minutes, and also put the book back.

"I thought it was a good book, it's just a cliché." Before leaving, the other party muttered, which happened to be heard by Gong Minghan.

He couldn't help but frown.

Martial arts is definitely a mainstay in today's market.

Not an exaggeration.

More than half of the ten authors must live on this subject.

There are more people who write.

Then the number of the same theme will naturally increase.

But the other party just said that this book is a cliché.

Gong Minghan really didn't agree.

It is not easy to write something new in the sea of martial arts books, and few people can do this.

Most authors compare their writing and story-shaping abilities.

And Shi Rongliang's "Cloth Heroes" he has watched.

Although it's not as exciting as the previous "Battle of the Deep Sea Pavilion".

It's not too bad.

Abandoned by two readers in a row.

Gong Minghan also lost his temper.

He had to see when someone would buy it today.

It didn't take much time to wait for this answer.

The seventh customer happily paid for it.

But Gong Minghan was a little unhappy.

Because this payment rate is too low.

Although he is not a professional statistician, he still has the basic concept, and the current 7:1 data is definitely not good.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

So Gong Minghan spent some more time in the bookstore.

He wanted to count them himself.

But.

The results have remained unchanged.

He made up 20 people to watch "The Cloth Hero".

But how many people are paying for it?

3 people!

There are only 3 people!

Gong Minghan's face changed.

It's only now that the first volume of the whole book has been released.

It stands to reason that it is the most deserving of results.

But what's going on now?

Can this purchase rate explode?

Gong Minghan does not rule out the situation that some latecomers are on top.

But that probability is extremely rare.

At first, people couldn't stand it.

Where is the chance to look at the back?

So this result is already a bit scary.

Not good scary.

It's terrible scary.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stopped the last customer who was about to leave and asked with a smile: "Hello, I am a market researcher near here, I just saw that you were reading this book "Cloth Cloth Hero" but did not buy it, can you tell me what the specific reason is?" ”

The book fan who was stopped was stunned for a moment before nodding and said: "Actually, the writing of this book is okay, but there is too much space for the protagonist, and it feels like everyone is revolving around him, which is not interesting, and there are only a few martial arts moves, and the fighting scene is too peaceful." ”

Too much space for the main character?

What is the reason for this?

Shouldn't the more scenes the protagonist have, the better?

But the fight scene is too peaceful, and he can understand it.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Gong Minghan thought for a moment and continued to ask.

"Well, forget it, it may be that I have a special taste, you are asking others." The book lover was clearly reluctant to continue the conversation.

"Okay."

Gong Minghan had no choice but to nod and give up.

was hesitating whether to stop another book lover to continue asking, but Shi Rongliang suddenly called him.

"Editor Gong, do you have time in the evening, see you at the old place, when the new book is on sale in advance, I'll arrange it." Shi Rongliang said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm not available tonight."

Gong Minghan can be regarded as serving this guy.

New books are now on the verge of disaster.

Still have the heart to play?

And what does he say?

Celebrating a book sale in advance?

Where does the self-confidence come from?

Why is it so inflated?

Even though he has seen a lot of thick-skinned people over the years.

At present, it is also a bit willing to bow down.

"I said Gong Editor, you are bored if you don't have time every day." Shi Rongliang's tone was a little dissatisfied, and he didn't give face to the celebration?

"I really don't have time."

Gong Minghan's tone was indifferent, and he was secretly glad in his heart.

The loss was not dug up by Shi Rongliang himself, otherwise the new book would not have achieved good results, and the editor-in-chief would have to take the knife on himself if he was the first one.

The author of the high drive and low walk.

He's seen too much over the years.

It's better to keep a certain distance.

"Okay, I'll talk to Editor-in-Chief Yang when I go back, if not, don't let Editor Gong be so tired." Shi Rongliang said coldly.

"Okay."

Gong Minghan knew what the other party meant, but he agreed directly.

I didn't take the other party seriously at all.

If only this book had been a great success.

Just endure for the sake of work.

But now this is the situation.

You'd better go home and play with the spoon.

Maybe in a few days.

You kid has to cry grandpa sue grandma.

Hung up.

Gong Minghan did not wait for the other party to sue.

Instead, he directly reported the current situation to the editor-in-chief.

"The reputation of the new book is so bad?" Yang Shuguang, the editor-in-chief of Dingyan Publishing House, couldn't help but ask in a deep voice after hearing this.

"That's right, editor-in-chief, but this bookstore isn't too big." Gong Minghan didn't mix personal emotions when answering questions.

"Let's come back first."

Yang Shuguang was silent for a while and said: "Other things will wait to see the sales later." ”

"And the editor-in-chief, there's something I want to tell you." Gong Minghan thought about it, or he confessed to the contradiction with Shi Rongliang.

"I know, I've been wronged during this time."

Yang Shuguang sneered when he heard this: "Dingyan Publishing House has always used sales to speak, if this book comes out with results, it doesn't hurt to sell him face, but if he can't get results, then he will naturally not be able to enjoy these treatments, do you really think that you are looking for a big boss here?" What I can give him, I can also take it back. ”

"I get the editor-in-chief."

Gong Minghan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
