Mastering entertainment: starting with identification

Chapter 79 The Printing
A week later, Endpoint Publishing House routinely held a weekly meeting to summarize the number of books sold for a full week.

Xiao Shuo sat alone at the end of the conference table, and the seating of the entire table was like the arrangement of the performance of the entire department.Good performance depends on the leader, and those with less performance sit a little bit.

The humane way of saying is that the voice will be quieter when scolded.

All sales are reported one by one by a comrade in the statistics department, and then discussed by the editors after the report is completed.

After the comrades in the statistics department finished their reports, a total of about ten new books were released this week. According to the sales statistics, the sales volume of "Slam Dunk" ranked last, with only about 3 copies.

The sales volume of a week can already see the final sales volume with a high probability, unless there are various accidents.

The editors sitting around were discussing one after another, some were discussing the sales volume of the books they signed, some were discussing what subjects would be popular, and some knew that Xiao Shuo had printed [-] books in the first batch. Regarding the issue of the book, the sales volume across the country is so bleak now, I want to see how Xiao Shuo will finish it.

These editors have basically never read the book "Slam Dunk", so Xiao Shuo can accept the current misunderstanding, but he doesn't intend to explain anything, and he will give himself another week in his heart. There will be a good explanation.

The editor-in-chief who helped Xiao Shuo couldn't listen anymore. The two colleagues have a deep friendship. If the other party really misjudged the problem, he would not speak up, but it is not yet time to criticize, so he opened his mouth and said : "Editor-in-Chief, I still have dozens of copies of "Slam Dunk" in stock. I want to give them to my friends, but now that everyone is so busy, why not take a look together."

The editor-in-chief who presided over the meeting glanced at him and nodded, let's take a look.

The editor-in-chief called Xiao Shuo to the office together, took out dozens of copies of "Slam Dunk" and placed them on the table in the conference room.

When many editors saw the beautiful cover of this book, they were all amazed. It would cost a lot of money to find a good original artist.

"The book has been placed in front of you, please appreciate it yourself!" said the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief took the lead in picking up this book, and all categories were under his control. If there were any mistakes, he would have to bear some responsibility, so he took it very seriously.

Everyone's reading speed is very fast, and everyone's emotions seem to be mobilized during the whole process, and they are all integrated into this passionate story.

Even if everyone's reading speed is very fast, there is always a speed.An honest-looking editor slammed the book in his hand on the table, startling everyone around him.

Then everyone saw the simple and honest editor's expression of wanting to stop, so they stopped talking about him and continued to read the book in their hands.

Until the end, the entire conference room was wailing.

"Xiao Shuo, why is it gone here???" an editor asked?

Xiao Shuo had already expected that these people would have this expression, and said innocently, "This author just sent out these manuscripts as the first part."

"Can you let him send all of them first, so we can take a look internally first?" The simple and honest editor put forward an opinion that was not simple and honest.

Everyone nodded in agreement, Xiao Shuo looked at the editor-in-chief, who also nodded at him.

"We are a professional department, and we won't disclose it in advance." The editor-in-chief said, obviously the editor-in-chief was also attracted by this book.

In fact, it's not that Xiao Shuo didn't mention this matter to this crazy comrade, but the other party never agreed, and he couldn't help it.

"I'll try my best?" Xiao Shuo said with some uncertainty.

After reading the book, everyone started discussing again.

"This book is really well written! It's been a long time since I read such a passionate sports novel. The last time was probably ten years ago!"

"That's right! I thought that only those who practice immortal swords can have this kind of feeling, so it turns out that this kind of sports can also be competed!"

"This book is very different from those sports novels ten years ago! Even though the first book has not started the game, I am already looking forward to the game."

The sports novels that exploded in the world ten years ago mainly focused on the content of the competition. There was very little shaping of the protagonists. The competition was very passionate, but it seemed to have nothing to do with me. It was better to watch the broadcast of the sports competition.As a result, this type of novel was gradually eliminated, and the mainstream became more fanciful and magical cultivating immortals.

One editor posed a practical question. "But the book only sold [-] copies this week. It should have a good reputation, but it's not mainstream after all."

"Hey~" Everyone felt sorry.

dong dong dong~
There was a crisp knock on the door, and a person in charge of the printing department rushed in.

The editor-in-chief looked at the other party suspiciously. According to common sense, the other party should not attend this meeting. There should be some urgent matter for rushing in. "What's the matter with you?"

Panting, the other party slapped a piece of paper in front of the editor-in-chief, and brought a form at the same time.

The editor-in-chief picked up the note, which read: "Slam Dunk" was reprinted with [-] copies.The following horizontal line requires the signature of the editor-in-chief.

The initial printing quantity can be decided by the editor-in-chief, but the editor-in-chief is responsible for additional printing.

The editor-in-chief's eyes became even more puzzled, and he looked at the other party puzzled.

The other party then handed the report to the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief took a closer look and saw that this was the sales statistics table of "Slam Dunk", which made a line chart of seven days.

The fold line above is getting higher and higher day by day. On the first day, only a few hundred copies were sold, but by the last day, there were a full [-] copies sold.

The person in charge finally spoke: "I don't know which editor decided the number of publications."

Everyone thought they were looking for blame, and pointed at Xiao Shuo with their fingers, and Xiao Shuo could only slowly raise his hand to signal himself.

The person in charge said: "Thanks to you, otherwise we really didn't have so many shipments for a while, and I will ask the higher-ups to take credit for you."

Xiao Shuo was stunned, what happened, I deserve it?
The editor-in-chief quickly signed his name, and said to the person in charge: "Print it immediately." Then he turned his head and looked at Xiao Shuo: "Okay, well done, perseverance, worthy of praise, and we will reward you together at that time."

Everyone is full of puzzlement, what is on this list?What else was written on the note?
The editor-in-chief didn't hold back, and projected the report onto the screen in the conference room.

The line chart that surprised the editor-in-chief appeared in the eyes of many editors.Everyone's eyes intersected with each other, and they understood what the editor-in-chief and the person in charge just said. They could only lament that luck is reserved for those who are prepared.
