Sports is a very unpopular subject for the entire fiction market.

Especially when otherworldly adventure novels are popular, this genre lacks a readership.

So even if the reputation of "King of the Net" exploded, the editors did not have too high expectations for the sales of this novel, but now it seems that many people have lost their eyes.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

The mood of the editor-in-chief at the moment is up and down.

The female supervisor was stunned for a moment, and then she glanced at the two sympathetically: "Don't you even know, I notified the editor-in-chief on the day that "The King of the Net" was first out of stock, and it seems that our editor-in-chief didn't tell you." ”

The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief felt a chill in their hearts.

They still know the character of the editor-in-chief, and such a big thing was not notified to their editorial department, which can only explain one reason:

The editor-in-chief was upset.

The company has four editorial departments, each of which is responsible for a different classification of works, and each editorial department also has an editor-in-chief and an associate editor-in-chief, who are responsible for the youth fantasy genre.

The common boss of the four editorial departments is the editor-in-chief of the company.

The female supervisor was not angry when she saw these two people so miserable, but just smiled and said: "Do you editorial department know that it is actually the same, shipping is my responsibility, can your editorial department still conjure up a batch of goods for me?"

It's the truth.

The editorial department is only responsible for the selection and control of the quality of the novels, and the sales link is not their responsibility.

However, under normal circumstances, this kind of thing will be notified to the editorial department.

This time, it should be the editor-in-chief who is expressing his dissatisfaction, so the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief will not know the situation until today.

"So how many orders are there now?"

The editor-in-chief forcibly suppressed mixed feelings.

A voice came from behind him: "The orders of major bookstores in Qinzhou currently have a total of 400,000 copies, and they will be delivered to major bookstores tomorrow, but considering the follow-up market demand, I asked the publishing department to directly print another 500,000 copies." ”

"Hello editor-in-chief!"

The three of them turned around at the same time and looked at the man behind them, this person was the editor-in-chief of Yinlan Library, one of the most powerful people in the company.

"Hmm. ”

The editor-in-chief nodded, with a dignified gaze of dissatisfaction: "The decision to publish 100,000 copies of "King of the Net" in advance is very stupid, but seeing that your editorial department finally didn't brush up on this novel, I will spare you once." ”

"Yes!"

The editor-in-chief and associate editor-in-chief were granted amnesty.

Thanks to the fact that they put "The King of the Net" in the first edition of Supernova in order to enrich the theme of the novel market, if they miss such a treasure mountain, the company's loss will be too great.

"And. ”

The editor-in-chief frowned and said: "I looked at the plan, the original number of words of "Net King" is only one million, let the editor in charge of Chu Mad communicate with Chu Mad this time, and the company hopes that he can expand the outline and strive to write more than three million words." ”

If you don't get a good grade in the book, you will be cut in half.

On the other hand, if the book's grades are good enough, the publisher will also ask the author to write as many words as possible, because the more words, the more money.

"Okay!"

The editor-in-chief nodded repeatedly.

Most novelists won't refuse this offer, novelists also want to have a good meal, who wouldn't want to make more money?

Besides, how many novelists dare to guarantee that their next book will also be popular?

"Also. ”

The editor-in-chief thought for a while and said: "Be sure to serve Chu Mad well, don't have any conflict with him, if Chu Mad is poached by other publishing houses, you two can move your butts." ”

"Good, good!"

The editor-in-chief nodded repeatedly.

Even if the editor-in-chief doesn't remind him, the editorial department will treat Chu Mad as a big daddy.

Because the impact of the popularity of competitive novels like "The King of the Net" is absolutely cascading, the success of this novel proves that sports competitive novels can also be a big hit.

It's a start!

In the future, there will inevitably be a large number of sports and competitive novels on the market, and Chu Mad may become the face of Qinzhou competitive novels!

......

Supernova is a large-scale essay competition, and Yinlan Library is also a top established publishing house in Qinzhou, so many peers in the industry are staring at their essay results this time.

"This year's supernova seems to have gone far. ”

"There are five supernova books, four of which have a rating of no more than five, and the only novel with a high reputation is called "The King of the Net", but the theme chosen is too niche, and the sales are definitely not much better. ”

"The Silver Blue Library also has today. ”

"Supernova is sinking into the sand, which is a big blow to the supernova's signboard, this year's wave is too hurtful, and the number of supernova submissions should be reduced next year. ”

“......”

The publishing world is talking about the fact that peers in any field are enemies, so the competitors of Silver Blue Books are a little gloating.

Dingsheng Press.

It is a publishing company of the same size as Silver Blue Books.

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng was very happy when he saw that the supernova of Yinlan Bookstore was not performing well, and he made a special call to the person in charge of a chain bookstore: "Isn't the supernova not selling well this time?"

"I've been worrying about this lately. ”

The person in charge of the bookstore chain opposite seemed to be a little worried.

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng was happier, but he definitely couldn't show it, pretending to be sympathetic: "The market environment is not good now, don't worry too much." ”

"You're mistaken. ”

The opposite side explained: "The sales of "Net King" are very good, and what I have been worried about recently is that this book is seriously out of stock, and many customers come to the bookstore to buy this book by name, but my goods are sold out. ”

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng was stunned for a moment: "What?"

The other side smiled: "I don't understand your little bit of caution, it's just a joke about wanting to see Yinlan's library, the top four of their supernovas are really not good, but the fifth-place "King of the Net" is still very popular, so I ordered 150,000 copies with Yinlan in one go today!"

Editor-in-Chief of Peak: "......"

On the other side, he is still saying: "Sports competition novels are a blank market, I suggest that your publishing house also pay more attention to this theme, don't you like to follow the trend the most?

Bookstores only care about whether books sell well or not.

They didn't care much about the rest.

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng was dumbfounded: "Good ......"

After hanging up the phone, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly opened the large group of the editorial department and sent a message: "All the editors in the youth fantasy department will finish reading "The King of the Net" tonight. ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

"Watching "The King of the Net"?"

The crowd suddenly became lively.

Seeing that his editors were still at a loss, the editor-in-chief had never worked so hard to type: "Yinlan can dig out a hit like "The King of the Net", why can't you?

The crowd fell silent.

Sports and competitive novels, hits?

Is the editor-in-chief sure that something is not wrong?
