Chapter 45

Chapter 45

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.

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: "At present, the orders from the major bookstores in Qinzhou total 400,000 copies, and they will be delivered to major bookstores tomorrow. However, considering the subsequent 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 man was the editor-in-chief of Yinlan Shuku, one of the most powerful people in the company.

"Um."

The editor-in-chief nodded, his majestic gaze filled with dissatisfaction: "The decision to publish 100,000 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.

"besides."

The editor-in-chief frowned and said: "I looked at the plan, and the original word count of "Net King" is only one million. Let the editor in charge of Chu Kuang this time communicate with Chu Kuang. The company hopes that he can expand the outline. Strive to write more than three 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."

"Okay!"

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 Shuku is also an old-fashioned 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 don't understand your little thought, you just want to read the jokes of Yinlan Shuku. It's true that the top four of their supernovas this year did not perform well, but the fifth place "Net King" is still the best. It's very popular, so I ordered 150,000 copies from Yinlan in one go 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 the trend? 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 group in the editorial department, and sent a message: "All the editors in the youth fantasy department will finish watching "The King of Net" tonight."

"ah?"

"What?"

"Watch "Net King"?"

The crowd suddenly became lively.

Seeing that the editors under him were still in a daze, the editor-in-chief had never typed so hard: "Yinlan can dig out such a blockbuster 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?
