Whether it is the plot rhythm or the plot of the characters, the story is very suitable for the tastes of youth fantasy novel lovers. Even some popular science about tennis interspersed in the story will not seem boring, but can make people feel a sense of their own knowledge. Increased inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

"Snake Ball!"

"Giant bear!"

"Outspin serve!"

When these magnificent tennis moves appeared in the book, accompanied by the immersive text description, an uncle He Mingxuan felt his blood surging.

The images of the members of the Qingxue Tennis Club are even more vivid on the paper, so vivid that they seem to be right in front of them.

He actually cheered with Qingxue's victory, worried about everyone's plight, and thought about the progress of the story...

"Oh my God!"

All doubts are easily solved, why do you choose to buy this novel after reading it?

Of course it’s because the novel is so good!

He Mingxuan stared at the word Chu Kuang at the back of the novel's author column, and his heart was shaken: "This book will definitely lead the development of competitive novels in Qinzhou."

Chu Kuang is too terrifying!

I am convinced that I lost.

Everyone underestimated Chu Kuang, including Yinlan Shuku. They actually only listed "Net King" as No.5 in the Supernova Awards, and called it a novel subject that enriched the market?

Wake up!

What does it mean to have a treasure mountain in the sky without knowing it? Are novels of this level intended for your Yinlan library to enrich the market themes?

Everyone wait!

Soon, this market will prove who is the real supernova of this year!

Chapter 44 He

Naturally, the Yinlan Bookstore did not have a player like He Mingxuan who deliberately hid in bookstores to mark people. After the works published by Supernova were widely distributed in various bookstores in Qinzhou, the only thing that could slightly reflect some market results was reader feedback.

Started off just a little bit.

After all, reading also takes time.

For the publishing house, sporadic comments are not of much reference value, but as the first batch of readers have finished reading the novels one after another, feedback on the five works of Supernova has gradually increased on the message board of the official website of Yinlan Bookstore.

What worries the publishers is that...

The supernova No.1 "The Demon King of Other Worlds", which the company has placed high hopes on, seems to have a poor reputation. Most of the readers rated the novel with a perfect score of [-]. It seems that everyone is not interested in the format of this novel. .

"The routine of changing the soup but not the medicine."

"The protagonist has transmigrated into a demon king, and it still feels like a waste of wood. Since the creation is from the perspective of the devil king, can you not write the protagonist as such a waste of wood? Is it true that the author will not write if the protagonist is not a waste of wood? book?"

"I regret buying this book after reading it."

"Hurry up and cut it in half, I'm not interested."

Qin Zhou's novels are published in volumes, so the sales volume of the first volume is very important. Those novels that do not sell well are likely to be cut in half. In the end, the author will probably compress it into three or five volumes and finish it hastily. After all, the publishing company has to free up resources for some works with more potential.

Many readers are spraying.

Of course, not all of them are bad reviews, and some readers think that the perspective of "The Demon King" is very novel: "Although it is old wine in a new bottle, at least the identity of the protagonist is different from the traditional mode of adventure in other worlds, and it will not be cut in half. .”

Maybe it will explode later?

This situation is not without precedent.

There is a very popular novel in the market right now. When it was first released, the word of mouth was very mediocre, and the sales volume was not satisfactory. The sales volume exploded, so that the halving plan was canceled directly, and the book is still serialized until now, and the second volume of No.20 has been published.

But such examples are rare.

Because if the beginning of the first volume of the novel cannot attract readers, it will be difficult for the readers to last until then. Only when the readers are attracted at the beginning can the novel continue to be serialized steadily.

Not only No.1 word of mouth is not good.

The works of Supernova No.2 to No.4 also performed very mediocre in terms of word-of-mouth, and the score of No.2 reached five points, but five points can only be regarded as a pass in the novel market, and it cannot be called good at all.

"This year is difficult."

At the departmental meeting of Yinlan Library a week later, an editor looked at the reviews of several novels and sighed: "I thought the sales of "The Demon King of the Other World" could explode, but as readers read more and more adventure novels from other worlds, As more and more people come, everyone’s requirements are getting higher and higher.”

"That's right."

"It's not that this year's supernova is not as good as before, but that readers' reading tastes are getting higher and higher. No wonder the editors always want to support new themes. Readers are tired of old themes. Novels must provide new stimulation. Come."

"..."

In the early TV dramas, there were often brain-dead plots such as car accidents, cancer, and abortions. The audience still watched with gusto, but now that such plots appeared again, the audience would point directly at the director's nose and curse.

The same is true in fiction.

A few years ago, adventure novels in other worlds can be popular with any gimmick. For example, there is a novel "With a Mobile Phone in Another World", which tells the story of the protagonist carrying a magical mobile phone that can also be used in another world, pretending to face all the way From the current point of view, the story may be terrible, but the readers still liked the novel very much.

"There is no total annihilation."

Yang Feng tried to comfort everyone: "Although the novel "The King of the Internet" is the last of the supernovas, it still has a good reputation. Now the score has reached 8.5 points. This score is very remarkable."

What Yang Feng said was not wrong.

Although the word-of-mouth reviews of Supernova's first four books are not satisfactory, "Net King" currently has a very high score, and the feedback from readers in the comment area is basically mostly admiration.

"This is the best book!"

"I didn't expect that a competitive novel like tennis could be written so wonderfully. I picked it up in a bookstore and read it casually. I didn't expect that once I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down. I directly announced that I would enter "The King of the Net"."

"A clean stream from a supernova!"

"I'm tired of watching adventures in other worlds. It's surprisingly good to change the taste once in a while. I have already recommended "Net King" to many friends, but many people are not interested. Like me before, they don't understand competitive novels at all. charm."

"..."

The editors naturally know that "The King of the Net" has a high score, which can be said to be rave reviews, but for Yinlan Shuku, the word-of-mouth of this novel can only be regarded as a consolation prize, because the subject matter of this novel is too unpopular, and the sales volume is almost Impossible to explode.

"It's useless."

"The subject matter is too cold."

"Is it good or not?"

The editors didn't seem too excited. Every publishing house will have some novels that are popular or not. For such novels, the major publishing houses basically support them. Even if the sales are not good, they will try their best to give them publishing resources. , as if film companies also need some literary films to give them money, but the company's real money depends on the sales of novels.

"Don't be downcast."

The editor-in-chief is very dissatisfied with the status of the editors: "As you look like, the sales volume has not yet come out, and word of mouth is not everything. Although some novels have low ratings, the sales volume is still very good."

"Too."

"Have the opportunity!"

"It's just word of mouth."

Hope is lit in the eyes of the editors. Word-of-mouth does not mean everything. There are some books on the market that are not well-received, and there are also some books that have a very bad reputation, but their sales are steadily increasing. Jiao, "Net King" belongs to the former in everyone's eyes, and the other books of Supernova may not be the latter!

These people are really fooling around.

The deputy editor curled his lips quietly.

There are very few works that are popular but not popular, but there are not many works with bad reputation but good sales. In the general law of the book market, word of mouth and sales can still form a direct ratio most of the time...

"Let's go."

The editor-in-chief waved his hand.

After the crowd dispersed, the editor-in-chief was suddenly worried. This state was not as good as the editors just now: "It seems that this time the supernova really messed up, unless a miracle happens."

"Miracle?"

The deputy editor who also did not leave said with a wry smile: "Let's go to the statistics department for a tour. The first week's sales of the supernova should have been counted over there. Let's see where the miracle is."

Editor-in-Chief: "..."

The two came to the relevant department side by side. The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief looked at the female supervisor of the statistics department at the same time: "Should the sales of the first week of Supernova be counted?"

"coming?"

The female manager's expression was a bit cold, as if seeing these two guys were particularly upset, she turned around and got busy after saying a word: "Look at the statistics table on the table, and ask me if you don't understand anything."

"Where did we offend her?"

The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief looked at each other, and then took a look at the statistical table. This glance directly killed their last hope, because the best-selling "Devil from the Other World" only had 18 copies.

This is a supernova!

In previous years, works that were able to be published with the Supernova Awards were too embarrassed to go out to say hello to people if the sales volume did not exceed 30 in the first week, but this year the highest sales volume of the five Supernova books was less than 20 copies.

But at least one thing is right.

That is the top five ranked by Supernova, and the sales are also perfectly in line with their respective names. The editor-in-chief rejoiced: "At least we didn't make a mistake in our sales ranking predictions. No matter how bad the sales data is, it's the readers' fault."

"Yep!"

The deputy editor nodded

The female executive who had left came back, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she immediately became furious, and immediately began to explode: "You two bastards' judgment is not wrong? My mother's phone is so frustratingly blown up, you know! Bookstores all over Qinzhou are urging me for goods. Now as soon as I answer the phone, I will be Wangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwangwang! How busy are you? Do you know that my menopause is about to be brought forward! Do you know that I haven't slept well for a few days!?"

The female supervisor's eyes are red!

The cannonballs were crackling, and the faces of the editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief were sprayed with saliva, which made them tremble from the momentum.

"that……"

The two looked at the statistical table carefully, and confirmed seriously: "The sales of "Net King" is the lowest in the supernova, so why is it out of stock? Auntie, you seem to have been shot, there must be something wrong. Bar?"

"Wrong?"

The female executive looked at the two people in front of her with eyes like idiots: ""The Lord of the Net" has a total of [-] copies in stock, which is not enough for major booksellers to fill their teeth. It's sold out, and you let people take the lead to fight for sales?"

The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief were stunned.

The two of them were just looking at the sales ranking of Supernova, and they completely forgot that "Net King" was only published with [-] copies in the early stage.

I only remembered after the female supervisor scolded me.

At this moment, the two of them widened their eyes, and finally realized something vaguely. The miracle they longed for seemed to have really appeared!

"Two."

The female supervisor showed a dangerous smile, and her tone was a little strangely gentle: "Please answer me, which bastard made the decision to publish [-] copies of "The King of the Net" in advance?"

"he!"

The editor-in-chief and associate editor simultaneously point to each other.

Chapter 45 爆款

For the entire novel market, sports competition is a very unpopular subject.

Especially when alien adventure novels are very popular, this kind of theme lacks a reader base.

So even though "The King of the Internet" became popular, the editors didn't have high expectations for the sales of this novel, but now it seems that many people have misjudged it.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

The editor-in-chief's mood at the moment is ups and downs.

The female director was stunned for a moment, and then she gave the two of them a sympathetic look: "You don't even know, I informed the editor-in-chief the day "Net King" was out of stock, it seems our editor-in-chief didn't tell you .”

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

They still know the editor-in-chief's character, but they didn't notify the editorial department of such a big matter. There can only be one reason:

The editor-in-chief is not happy.

The company has four editorial departments, and each editorial department is responsible for different categories of works. At the same time, each editorial department is also equipped with an editor-in-chief and a deputy editor-in-chief, who are responsible for youth fantasy novels.

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

Seeing how miserable these two people are, the female supervisor was not angry, she just smiled and said: "Do you know that the editorial department is actually the same, shipping is my responsibility, can your editorial department still conjure up a piece of paper for me?" Batch coming?"

This is the truth.

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

However, under normal circumstances, such things will be notified to the editorial department.
