Chapter 217: Officially Released
Great God, Supreme.
The selection seems to be very middle two.
But readers who like to read fantasies, who doesn't have the second attribute?
The official naming of this selection can probably be regarded as catering to young readers who like this category.
After all, everyone still likes to call their favorite authors "great gods".
There are also those called "old thieves".
However, this title is in the minority.
Only those writers who make readers love and hate will be called old thieves by readers.
If there is an "old thief" selection, Chu Maan, a writer who wrote dead Baguio, can probably be on the list.
Lin Yuan didn't care about these false names......
Until he knew that the Supreme God could get a better contract.
At that moment, Lin Yuan's yearning for the so-called "supreme god" in his heart was like looking forward to becoming a "Qu Dad".
In contrast, in addition to a good reputation, the actual benefits of the short story selection seem to be missing?
Of course, there are some benefits.
It's just that in terms of making money, it is also a fact that long stories crush short stories, which is why Lin Yuan has never given up writing long stories.
In the following days, Lin Yuan consciously paid attention to the trend of the selection.
The "Literature and Art Daily", which previously selected the ranking of Qin Qi's short story writers, belongs to the newspapers and periodicals affiliated with the Literature and Art Association, and is regarded as a subordinate unit.
The short story was submitted to the "Literature and Art Newspaper" for selection.
The selection of the long form is carried out by the headquarters of the Literary and Art Association, and the preparation has been for a while, otherwise the outside world would not know in advance.
It's just that Lin Yuan, a person who has too many cross-industry skills, doesn't know the latest information of some industries.
And when it came to the middle of May.
The selection of the great god and the supreme god finally revealed more details.
The Literature and Art Association published an article on the "Literature and Art Newspaper": "In the future, the selection will be held once a year, so every year there will be a new great god and a supreme god born, the specific number is to be determined, but the number of the first session has been determined, we will fairly and openly select ten god-level fantasy writers, and three supreme gods......"
Really.
The most difficult supreme god is only three places, and it is likely to be awarded to some top fantasy writers who have been famous for many years and have been stable in their grades!
The number of great gods is relatively large, a total of ten.
No wonder Yinlan Shuku thinks that Chu Mad can win the place of great god.
Although he debuted relatively late, Chu Mad's influence is not comparable to ordinary families!
There are even many people in the industry who have begun to predict.
This kind of ranking can actually predict part of the results in advance, after all, the editors in the industry know their results best.
And in the vast majority of predictions, Chu Mad is among them.
"In terms of sales, Chu Mad has little advantage in being selected as a great god, but he can't stand Chu Ma's industry influence, he has created two new types of writers in a row, and it is not too much to take a great god. ”
Many people agree with this.
No one can deny the fact that the movement and Xianxia pioneered by Chu Mad have fed many authors.
The influence of the Kaishan monster is too great.
Especially Xianxia, it's so hot now!
Someone has counted......
The Xianxia and sports competition themes in the Qin Province market together can already occupy one-fifth of the market share in the fantasy field!
Other words.
There are one-fifth of the writers in the market who are following the trend and creating two themes!
A fifth is small?
No, for the entire Qin Province, this is terrifying.
Of course.
Now that Qin Qi has merged, this market share has definitely shrunk a lot, but this resume is brilliant enough for Chu Mad to be there.
......
Editors are predicting, and readers are predicting.
Readers like this prediction more than editors, and even do specific rankings.
Some people believe that although Chu Mad can enter the Great God Ranking, the ranking should not be particularly high, because Qin Qi's fantasy writers have to participate in the selection......
Qi Province's fantasy is indeed inferior to Qin Province.
But that's only relatively.
Qi Province also has many powerful fantasy writers.
Even for the sake of fairness, Qi Province will inevitably have a few fantasy writers selected, but the number may be inferior to that of Qin Province.
But there's no point in making too many predictions now.
Because the results will not be officially announced until after July.
The current market.
People are more concerned about how the new batch of books released in June will perform.
There are a lot of great writers in June.
Among them, there are three most eye-catching works.
The authors are:
Chu Madness, Demon Boy, and Young Master Hai.
Needless to say, Chu Mad is the first card in June of the Silver and Blue Library, and the highest publicity.
The magic boy also released a book in June, called "Sword Fairy Descending the Mountain".
His fame is no less than Chu Madness, as the top brand in June supported by the heyday, it is also the highest publicity, and the goal is to stabilize the selection of the great gods!
As for Young Master Hai......
This is the top brand of Qi Province Sky Publishing House, and the book is called "My Other World is a Primitive Society".
Needless to say, it is also the highest publicity, but the theme chooses the traditional otherworldly adventure......
The magic boy is suspected of following the trend.
But now Xianxia has formed a trend, so everyone doesn't mention anything to follow the trend.
When a lot of people are writing about a subject, the genre is formed.
It can't be said that all the immortals on the earth are following the trend of "Ethereal".
It's just that when it first came out, everyone would talk about following the trend, and I won't mention it later.
All in all.
The publicity of these three parts is the fiercest, in addition to these three, of course, there are some other releases.
But obviously, it can't be warmed up with the highest advertised cards.
Booksellers are also making choices.
On the side of Yinlan Library, there are many booksellers who pre-order "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
But the new June books of Young Master Hai and Demon Boy were also pre-purchased by major booksellers.
Pre-order data alone......
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in Silver Blue Books has not yet been released, and one million copies have already been sold.
Sky Press's "My Otherworld is a Primitive Society" has not yet been released, and it has also sold a million copies.
The most fierce in its heyday, the magic boy's "Sword Fairy Descending the Mountain", pre-sold 1.3 million copies!
It's not that the magic boy is stronger than the other two.
The main reason is related to the subject matter.
Because there is no tomb robbery category on the market, the theme of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is horror and suspense -
Popular.
That is, after "Zhu Xian", the industry does not dare to look at Chu Mad with common sense, otherwise the initial treatment of this book will not be better than Chu Mad in the previous book.
In contrast, "My Otherworld is a Primitive Society" has been a lot more steady, and the traditional otherworldly adventure, although readers are tired of watching it, is still the most active genre in the market.
As for the magic boy's "Sword Fairy Descending the Mountain", this book has the highest pre-sale, because this is a fairy tale!
Xianxia is the freshest theme at the moment, and several popular books have been released, plus the person who wrote it this time is a magic boy, so the bookseller naturally buys it!
Why?
Because the magic boy has many nicknames, such as "Death Original Series", "King of Followers", "King of Demon Reform" and so on.
Just listen to the nickname......
The magic boy is very good at following the trend, and he is not blindly following the trend, he will add his own details and thinking, and the magic will change, and the final results of the things written are often better than the results of being followed by him!
It's an ability.
Many great writers in the industry have such abilities, but the magic boy is undoubtedly the best.
Some people are even curious about whether the results of "Sword Immortal Descending the Mountain" can surpass the mountain monster......
That is, Chu Mad's "Zhu Xian"?
......
Lin Yuan cared about the selection of great gods and the like, but he didn't care about the new book competition in June.
Although the controversy over the new book has affected the effect of his highest-level publicity.
It's natural.
If only one best-selling author opens a new book in the same period, then everyone's attention will naturally be focused on this best-selling author.
But if several best-selling authors open books during the same period, everyone's attention is bound to be scattered.
Booksellers have to make judgments, too......
Bookstores sell books, and they basically have main works.
If the works they choose to promote do not perform well, it will affect their earnings.
Of course.
They can adjust to the situation.
For example, if the book they promote does not do well, then they can completely change it to another book that sells well......
However, it depends on whether the bookseller has signed another contract at the time of pre-ordering.
If they sign other contracts, such as writer-signing campaigns, their featured work can't be easily changed.
In fact.
There are also big booksellers who hope that Chu Mad can cooperate with the bookstore to do a signature event of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which is a good way to stimulate sales.
Fans of Chu Mad may buy "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for Chu Mad autograph, even if they may not like the book.
However, after Lin Yuan received Yang Feng's call, he refused.
Although he really wants to make this money, once he holds a book signing event, then he will not be far from falling off the horse.
This is the downside of having too many vests.
Lin Yuan decided to continue to be a quiet nesting doll.
On the contrary, Demon Boy and Young Master Hai have signed additional contracts with different booksellers, preparing to do book signing and selling activities, aiming to get higher sales in June.
However, Lin Yuan also has his own propaganda strategy.
Through Chu Yan's account, he publicized the news of the release of the new book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in June.
Then, he used Shadow and Chu Mad's account to forward and recommend it.
These three accounts are following each other, highlighting one to advance and retreat together!
is also because of the binding of three accounts, so every time fans see these three accounts, they are extremely excited.
"Here we go!"
"Love triangle?"
"Shura Field?"
"I feel that Chu Mad is the core, and the envy fish and the shadow are competing for favor......"
"You're so dirty (shy)"
"As we all know, Chu is crazy about the news, and the envy of the fish will be forwarded, and now there is an extra shadow. ”
“......”
Lin Yuan didn't know if this kind of bundling publicity was good for sales, anyway, he didn't continue to pay attention to it after finishing this matter.
And at this time.
May has quietly come to an end.
In June, a large number of new books appeared on the shelves of major bookstores, and Chu Mad's third "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was officially released!
