This time, the editor-in-chief should be issuing a warning, so the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief didn't know the situation until today.

"How many orders are there now?"

The editor-in-chief forcibly suppressed the complicated emotions.

A voice came from behind: "The orders from major bookstores in Qinzhou currently total 40 copies, and they will be delivered to major bookstores tomorrow. However, considering the follow-up market demand, I asked the publishing department to directly print another 50 copies."

"Hello, editor-in-chief!"

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

"Ah."

The editor-in-chief nodded, his majestic gaze filled with dissatisfaction: "The decision to publish [-] copies of "The King of the Internet" in advance is very stupid, but since your editorial department finally didn't print this novel, I will forgive you once. "

"Yes!"

The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief are like amnesty.

Thanks to them, in order to enrich the subject matter of the novel market, they put "Net King" in the first edition quota of Supernova. If such a treasure mountain is missed, the company will suffer too much loss.

"and also."

The editor-in-chief frowned and said, "I looked at the plan, and the original word count of "Net King" is only 100 million. Let the editor in charge of Chu Kuang this time communicate with Chu Kuang. The company hopes that he can expand the outline and strive for more. Write more than 300 million words."

If the grade of the book is not good, it will be cut in half.

On the contrary, if the grade of the book is good enough, the publishing house will ask the author to write as many words as possible, because the more words, the more money.

"Ok!"

The editor-in-chief nodded repeatedly.

Most novelists would not refuse this proposal, and novelists also have to eat well, who would not want to earn more money?

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

"in addition."

The editor-in-chief thought for a while and said: "You must serve Chu Kuang well, and don't have any conflicts with him. If Chu Kuang is poached by other publishing houses, you two can move your ass."

"Good good!"

The editor-in-chief nodded repeatedly.

Even if the editor-in-chief doesn't remind him, the editorial department will treat Chu Kuang as his father.

Because the impact of the popularity of competitive novels like "Net King" is absolutely chain-like, the success of this novel proves that sports and competitive novels can also explode.

This is a start!

There will inevitably be a large number of sports and competitive novels on the market in the future, and Chu Kuang may become the face of Qinzhou's competitive novels!

……

Supernova is a large-scale essay call, and Yinlan Bookstore is also a well-established publishing house ranked in the forefront of Qinzhou, so many colleagues in the industry are staring at the results of their essay call this time.

"This supernova seems to have gone far."

"Supernova has five books, four of which have ratings of less than five, and the only novel with a high reputation is "Net King", but the chosen subject matter is too small, and the sales volume is definitely not much better."

"The Yinlan library also has today."

"Supernova's halberd fell into the sand, which is a big blow to Supernova's brand. This year's wave is too hurt, and the number of Supernova's submissions should decrease next year."

"..."

The publishing industry is discussing that colleagues in any field are enemies, so the competitors of Yinlan Library are a little gloating.

Dingsheng Publishing House.

This is a publishing company comparable in scale to Yinlan Library.

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng was very happy when he saw that the supernova of the Yinlan Bookstore was not doing well, and made a special call to the person in charge of a certain bookstore chain: "Is this supernova not very easy to sell?"

"I've been worrying about this recently."

The person in charge of the bookstore chain opposite seemed worried.

Dingsheng's editor-in-chief was happier, but he definitely couldn't show it. He put on a sympathetic look: "The market environment is not good now, so don't worry too much."

"you misunderstood."

The opposite side explained: "The sales volume of "Net King" is very good. What worries me recently is that this book is seriously out of stock. Many customers come to the bookstore to ask for this book, but mine is sold out."

Dingsheng's editor-in-chief was stunned for a moment: "What?"

The other side smiled: "I still don't understand your little thoughts. You just want to read the jokes of Yinlan Shuku. It's true that the top four of their supernovas this year didn't perform very well, but the No. It's very popular, so I ordered 5 copies from Yinlan today, and it will be available tomorrow!"

Dingsheng's editor-in-chief: "..."

The other side is still saying: "Sports and competitive novels are a blank market. I suggest that your publishing house pay more attention to this subject. Isn't your market the most like to follow suit? When the market for alien adventures is good, a bunch of people write alien adventures. Now sports Competition also has a market, let everyone follow suit!"

The bookstore only cares about whether the book sells well.

They don't care much about the rest.

The editor-in-chief of Dingsheng said blankly: "Okay..."

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

"what?"

"what?"

"Watch "Net King"?"

The crowd suddenly became lively.

Seeing the dazed look of the editors under him, the editor-in-chief has never typed so hard: "Yinlan can dig out such a hit as "Net King", why can't you? Next, push me more sports Competitive novels!"

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Sports and competitive novels, hits?

Is the editor-in-chief sure he didn't make a mistake?

Chapter 46 开山怪

"receive."

"receive."

"receive."

"See tonight."

The editors of Dingsheng replied in the group.

As for the idea of ​​"Did the editor-in-chief make a mistake?" Of course, I only dare to circle in my heart, and no one dares to say it out loud.

after get off work.

The editors of Dingsheng went to the bookstore in a daze, but were shocked to find that the signs at the entrances of the major bookstores were filled with similar slogans.

The content of the slogan is:

""Net King" in the bookstore is sold out, and the supply will be replenished tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you."

Sold out?

The bookstore also has a special slogan?

At this moment, the editors of Dingsheng vaguely realized that something was wrong!

Because it allows the bookstore to put up a special slogan, indicating that there are many readers who want to buy "Net King", this is the treatment that Huoshu will have!

and so……

Is this book on fire?

One of Dingsheng's editors looked at his colleagues in surprise: "Have you ever heard of an example of a sports novel becoming popular?"

"No."

The colleague thought for a long time, finally shook his head, and then said four words firmly: "Unprecedented!"

Bookstores are the vane of sales.

What books are hot and what books are not, bookstores always know best!

And with the close relationship between major publishers and bookstores, it is not difficult to know the sales status of "Net King".

So, the next few days!

The eyes of the entire industry are focused on this book and the author of this work, Chu Kuang!

"I didn't expect it."

Even well-informed old editors in many industries have exclaimed: "The sales of sports and competitive themes are so high."

"Unbelievable."

"This rookie novelist named Chu Kuang used "The King of Net" to prove one thing. As long as the writing is good, sports and competitive themes can also produce results!"

"Is this the Mountain Creator Monster?"

"It's not that no one has written about sports and competitive topics, but no one has ever written about them. According to industry standards, whoever writes about a topic that becomes popular is the pioneer of this topic, so there is nothing wrong with this statement."

"Yes."

"In the future, there should be many novelists who follow the trend and write about sports competitions. Even these people will recognize Chu Kuang's status as the pioneer of sports competitions."

"..."

Not just editorial circles.

There is also a high degree of discussion about "The King of Net" in the reader circle, and you can see posts about this book in many fiction forums:

"Recommend "Net King"!"

"I've read this book too, it's really good."

"I have read youth fantasy novels for many years, especially the theme of adventures in other worlds. After reading "The King of Net", I became interested in this theme for the first time in my life."

"I thought my taste was too niche, but I didn't expect so many people to like "Net King"!"

"Hahaha, me too. Yesterday I recommended "The King of the Net" to my buddies. I was not willing to read this guy, saying that he was not interested in tennis subjects. Until I forced his head to read Chapter 1, my book became his book. It's..."

Qinzhou's book market has always been very lively.

In terms of sales alone, there are some higher than "Net King".

For many popular novelists, the monthly sales of their works are terrific.

But the scary thing about "Net King" is that it is obviously a sports theme. From the perspective of the industry, it is so unpopular, but it is as popular as many kingly themes!

This is undoubtedly a pound bomb for the industry.

At the same time when the industry was blown up, the support and promotion of sports novels by major publishing houses was unprecedented!

……

Han Qi is a tennis player.

He is a well-known professional tennis player in Qinzhou.

After the internal training today, when Han Qi was strolling outside, he suddenly received a message from a friend on the communication: "I just realized that tennis is so interesting today. You have a game tomorrow. I will go to your game. Remember to leave me a message." A ticket!"

"Okay, but why did you say that suddenly?"

Han Qi was very puzzled, his friend had never been interested in tennis.

After I became a professional player, I dragged the other party to watch two tennis matches, but the other party yawned when they saw it. I didn't expect that today I would take the initiative to watch a professional tennis match.

"I know you haven't heard of it!"

The friend said: "I recently read a novel called "The King of the Internet". This novel is about tennis. It's really good. You can read it if you have time!"

"..."

Han Qi sent a series of ellipses, and then said: "Tennis novels should be written by laymen. Tennis novels written by laymen will probably only fool you layman readers."

"well enough."

The friend said: "Anyway, I feel that the description of tennis in it is quite professional, similar to what you told me before."
