Chapter 17 What about the first one?
The best-selling king Xue Muliang has been famous for a long time and has a lot of loyalty. His name is sales guarantee; Shuke and Beta are the two most famous rats in the country in the past half month. These two advertisements fully demonstrate the store's shrewdness.
At this point, the sales battle between "Ding Novel" and "Children's Literature" has finally begun!
With his own new book information, popular author serialization and new articles, and his own beautiful writers, Xu Xue Muliang doesn't have to worry about the number one magazine sales this month, although he delayed the April issue until May.
Now he has to focus on the Children's Day special issue, and the rest is waiting for the nationwide opening survey to release the news that "Ding Novels" will be the number one in the magazine sales category again."
Xue Muliang held the coffee specially prepared for him by his assistant in one hand, and looked at the latest fashion magazines with the other hand. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows behind him, he could see the unique building representing the river and sea.
Xue Muliang's mortal enemy Han Shuo once teased him that if he could not see Dongfang Liangzhu and Chengpu River, he would not be sure that he was in the Jianghai.
The gentle knock on the door broke the quiet morning of the young president. Xue Muliang didn't feel good about it and said, "Come in."
A young and capable man walked in with a heavy expression. He walked to the table with an exquisite and cute little magazine in his hand and said solemnly: "Mr. Xue, "Children's Literature" has released a bimonthly magazine and continues to serialize "Shuke and Beta". According to the latest monitoring data, sales are far ahead of our magazine."
Xue Muliang was stunned, raised his head suddenly and asked in a deep voice: "What did you say?"
The young man handed over the magazine in his hand and said, "This book is called "Reading Frontier". The content consists of the selection of the essence of "Children's Literature" and the serialization of "Shuke and Beta". It costs five yuan per book and sold more than 100,000 copies on the first day of its launch, which is more than twice the amount of our magazine. The momentum is still not diminishing."
Xue Muliang felt a sense of unreal dizziness, and he put the cup in his hand on the table, stood up and took the thin and inconspicuous magazine. He didn't know whether he was talking to himself or talking to his subordinates: "Black Monthly, when did they start to publish the half-monthly?"
"This is the first issue, which is said to be to serialize "Shuke and Beta", and it will be in this form in the future."
Xue Muliang flipped through the magazine incomprehensible and couldn't help but comment: "How could such an ordinary cover and such a rustic illustration sell better than our magazine?"
"It's still the same "Shuke and Beta" that has made people popular. It is said that children under ten years old are watching this fairy tale, which is very popular."
Xue Muliang turned to the chapter of "Shuke and Beta", read for a while, and looked up and said, "Xiaozhong, you go out first, I'll take a look."
The young man who called Xiaozhong nodded, turned around and left the office, Xue Muliang closed the magazine and murmured to himself: "Liu Jingting, Liu Jingting..."
Liu Jingting was sitting in his room at this moment, typing on the keyboard quickly. "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" had already written the tenth chapter. He promised his eldest girlfriend, Mihu, that he would send all the ten chapters of the manuscripts today. If he could do it, Mihu would make a new dish for him to taste.
In addition, after unremitting efforts, Liu Jingting finally obtained the "right to go home to study". The process of obtaining this right was quite tortuous:
During the English class, Liu Jingting accidentally fell asleep and shamelessly said in his dream, "The greatest hero is for the country and the people", which caused laughter from the whole class and strong dissatisfaction of the English teacher. The angry English teacher immediately used the classic punishment skills and asked Liu Jingting a question. As a result, Liu Jingting answered the entire English session and asked the teacher a few questions. Unfortunately, the English teacher failed to keep up with his rhythm in time, so Liu Jingting had to ask again in Chinese.
He never asked questions in English classes afterwards.
Then, Liu Jingting used this "despicable" method to solve the problem of teachers in other subjects, temporarily gaining freedom in the classroom, and achieving the first step of victory.
Afterwards, he went to the head teacher's office in person and had a heart-to-heart talk with the head teacher. He pointed out in a very modest tone that the teachers could no longer teach him, so he applied to go home to study.
Before this, several teachers in charge expressed the same meaning implicitly, especially after the teacher with children learned that this god was the author of "Shuke and Beta", he sincerely hoped that he would go home quickly.
The dream of "The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people" has also become a popular quote in the school. Liu Jingting was also awarded the title of "Shirt Liu" because of this, and truly achieved that he was not in the world, but his story still circulated in the world.
Several years later, when Guo Jing was famous all over the world, these friends who were the same age as Liu Jingting felt infinite emotion. They would never have thought that the dream talk of the trainee in those days actually shouted out the strongest voice of the definition of a hero in the martial arts novel world. This is naturally a later story.
...
Liu Jingting stared at the screen, but his hands were moving non-stop: [Er Shen turned around the valley, and just arrived at the plate, he saw that the two black shadows were already standing in the middle. Ling Weifeng had a single sword and a flat chest, Gui Zhongming interlaced with both swords, and sneered: "Master Guardians, you have all walked so slowly in these few steps!" Er Shen was shocked and annoyed, knowing that the enemy was deliberately competing with them. He cursed in his heart: "Don't be crazy, what is the light-body skill? I'll ask you to taste the taste of our Wu Gou sword technique!"]
After writing this, Liu Jingting paused for a moment. Chapter 10 finally had only one last paragraph left. He stood up and stretched his arms, first imitated Ling Weifeng's single sword and flat chest, then learned from Gui Zhongming to make a staggered movement, and said to himself: "This martial arts movement design seems a bit constrained, as if the movements in the picture are more standardized and less elegant."
He gestured twice, shook his head, and suddenly shouted: "I saw the dragon in the field with my left hand, and the dragon in my right hand waved his tail, look at me, the eighteen palms of the dragon subduing!"
As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang suddenly, which scared him. He didn't need to guess that it was Mihu who called, because she was the only one who knew the number, because this number was handled with her ID card. After the phone rang a few times, Liu Jingting answered:
"Hey, Master Mihu, what instructions do you have?"
"Who are you calling?"
"Oh, Xiao Huhu, what are you asking for advice?"
"Liu Jingting, you want to die, do you?"
"I don't want to die, I miss you." Liu Jingting blurted out. After saying that, he suddenly felt the atmosphere was strange. He always claimed to be humorous and was arrogant in language confrontation. However, this time, he reacted a little too agile.
"Ahem, that, I was just writing a novel, my mind was drowsy, I hadn't eaten breakfast, and now my mind is full of storytelling and characters' dialogues. What did I just say?"
"Stop pretending to be garlic, I have something to do with you." Mihu was not angry at Liu Jingting's joke.
"The last paragraph is still missing, and the ten chapters of manuscripts have been announced to be completed."
"It's so good, but it's not this, um..." Mihu hesitated and said, "Is anyone looking for you in "Children's Literature"?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Then have you read the news yourself, or microblogs, forums?"
"I really didn't do anything. The world is so conscience. I have been writing diligently and I have no internet connection at all."
"Who told you this? You guy who is guilty, I want to tell you that according to the latest monitoring data, the sales of "Children's Literature" that serializes your fairy tale is far ahead of "Ding Novels". Now various magazines and publishers are talking about this."
"Ah, really, this is really exciting news."
"What a fake," Mi Hu said, but it was hard to hide the complacentness in his tone. After all, this is his little boyfriend. "Our editor-in-chief decided to use this opportunity to promote your "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains". At that time..."
"Absolutely not!" Liu Jingting interrupted Mi Hu's words bluntly, "Liu Jingting is Liu Jingting, Gu Yongsheng is Gu Yongsheng, I don't want them to have any contact again."
The first time in "The Great Jianghu" promoted "Longhu Doujinghua" in the name of Liu Jingting, Liu Jingting already felt a little uncomfortable, but the things happened too quickly and there was no time to stop them.
"Why?" Mi Hu heard Liu Jingting's solemnity and his tone became serious.
"First, I think people who write stories should maintain a sense of mystery, and communication with readers is best done through the text itself; 2. The fairy tale author is young and has no fan concepts, and the media and merchants may be interested in the work and will not pay too much attention to the author himself. This is the reason why I publish fairy tales with my real name, but martial arts is different, the reader group is too complicated and there are many problems. I don't want to mislead readers because of these two identities; 3. I don't like you doing this."
Mi Hu listened quietly, and it was not until half a minute after Liu Jingting finished speaking that she realized. She said firmly: "I promise you."
"So well-behaved."
"You..." Mi Hu was stunned. Although she liked to yell at Liu Jingting, she would support her boyfriend without reservation when it was related to principles, because she understood that the more easy-going and friendly people like Liu Jingting, the more principles and bottom lines were more inconsistent. But he suddenly teased himself with a tooth, how could Mi Hu bear it and scolded: "You stinky guy."
"Hehe, wait and make something delicious for me."
"Foodie! Okay, you go and write, I'll communicate with the editor-in-chief."
"Um."
Liu Jingting hung up the phone, returned to his seat with a refreshed look, and finished the ending of Chapter 10 of the novel:
[After a while, Luo Da and others were all here, and there was an extra girl in red, a pair of Qiu Shuiying's eyes staring at the yellow-shirted boy Gui Zhongming.
At this time, the sun was rising, and the morning clouds shone, and the strange rocks in the valley suddenly appeared. Qunhao and Mao Huanlian sat on the wall to see, and in the uneven valley basin, there were two arrays facing each other, and the execution was tense.
It is precisely: the sword energy in the barren mountain rushes to the bull and the whole tree is silently waiting for the rain to come.]
...
Just when Liu Jingting hung up Mihu's phone number, a young man wearing famous brands also hung up a phone number in a top office building in Jianghai. He had just dialed out three phone calls and called the three most famous authors in the company.
He made special preparations for the response and even released his own scandal as a gimmick. In the end, he actually ended up like this, and the failure has come true and is basically irreversible.
"Are you really going to let me take photos with nude?"
Jiang Hai, the newly promoted nobleman, had a calm face, clenched his fists and made a heavy blow on the table.
Chapter completed!
