36. New book warm-up

 Gu Cheng just took care of Youyou every day. His life was dull, but full of warmth. For Gu Cheng, seeing his daughter’s little face every day, he was no longer tired. Facing Youyou, he put away

The sharp edges that I have always displayed have made me as soft as a gentle sponge.

The publishing house here has confirmed that there are no problems with the sample book, that there are no typography or typos, and that the basic design of the book is fine. It has also begun to place orders with the printing factory. With a wave of its hand, it can produce 100,000 copies. At the same time, it has also started Shanda’s omni-channel

publicity.

As a publishing house with a long history in China, Haohan Publishing House is basically very familiar to many dealers. This is also the benefit of being a senior publisher. Before you show your disadvantages, many people will subconsciously sell you for how much they have cooperated with you in the past.

Divide into thin noodles.

Yu Qi put in a lot of effort this time, and assured the big boss that this time would definitely be another glorious opportunity for the publishing house. He then used his own career as a guarantee, and was approved for a large amount of publicity expenses.

.

Large promotional posters were posted on the bodies of buses and at the entrances of libraries everywhere. All major first-line media and popular newspapers introduced the book and the author. Gu Cheng's handsome face quietly appeared in major media outlets.

In the corner of the city.

When his subordinates came to tell Yu Qi, the publishing house had very little publicity money left in its account, and the publicity plan had begun to bear fruit. The name "Murder on the Orient Express" was known to many people, and discussions in their spare time inevitably brought it with it.

They learned this name and shared the information they knew with each other.

"Eh? Do you know? There is a book going to be released recently. You can see the information in many places. It's called "Murder on the Orient Express". Xiao Li, aren't you a fan of mystery novels? Do you want to buy a copy?

?”

The person being asked also understood something and responded with expectation.

"I heard that the author of this book is a master's degree graduate from the Department of Literature of Huaguo University. I saw that professors from the Department of Literature of Huaguo University recommended this book in their columns. It seems that it should be good. It is rare.

If a mystery novel is published, of course I will buy it and read it."

Similar conversations occur in many corners of China. Although mystery novels have been in a downturn in China's literary market in recent years due to a lack of acceptance, this subject is the easiest to adapt into film and television dramas. The works of mystery novel masters at the end of the last century are still

The best-selling spread has led to the inflow of fans of this subject one after another. The film and television screens are also filled with dramas adapted from the works of masters. Therefore, the potential fans of mystery novels are not less than any other genre, and correspondingly there are some beyond.

.

And because most of the related works that have appeared in recent years are third-rate plots and nothing eye-catching, everyone has become bored with only the works of masters over and over again on this subject, and the market is also eager for new mystery novels.

.

Major publishing houses also want to get involved in this huge market, and hold countless mystery novel essay contests every year. The prize money in the competition has risen and risen, and the awards have also increased. However, in the end, the winning works have not met expectations.

expect.

Yu Qi has been at the publishing house for three days. During these three days, he has been paying attention to his publicity plan and feedback. When he was sleepy, he would take a nap in the office, always prepared to deal with emergencies.

He widened his bloodshot eyes and looked at the reader questionnaires returned from various places. The expectations of the readers interviewed in the market for the new book have reached 80%. This is already an amazing figure. Many people said that it will be released.

I will go buy a copy and have a look. Even if only five of the ten people buy it, the initial printing quantity I originally set will not be enough.

However, he does not plan to print more books now. After running a publishing house for so many years, he is already a master of book sales. At this time, appropriate hunger marketing can bring greater response. The desire of book fans will give the publisher

The sales volume of the company is a surprise.

"Good boy, I hope your sales will explode as I expected."

Yu Qi looked at the sample book at hand. The book was opened, and the page happened to be Gu Cheng's introduction. He looked at the photos on it and murmured to himself.

Now is a turning point for him. If he can succeed this time, no one will be able to shake his position in the publishing house. He will completely grasp this place. If he fails, he will take care of it automatically without anyone else telling him.

Things leave, and competitors celebrate.

But he had no choice. Faced with the intense pressure from his competitors and the fact that his performance this year was indeed unsatisfactory, he might as well throw everything into gear and fight.

Why does Yu Qi value Gu Cheng's books so much? First, because as Gu Cheng's senior and the editor-in-chief of a publishing house, Yu Qi also has his own level of appreciation for basic things such as the plot, dialogue, and writing style of a book.

You only need to read a few chapters to get a rough idea.

And he was not unprepared. After getting the manuscript from Gu Cheng, he hired nearly twenty literary appreciators to conduct intensive discussions. Everyone agreed that this book was the best mystery on the Chinese market in this century.

novel.

Literati's mutual understanding can make everyone have the same opinion, which shows how excellent this book is, and this is also the source of Yu Qi's confidence.

Thinking of this, Yu Qi picked up the phone and pressed the number that had been dialed the most recently.

"Dudu~Senior brother?"

Gu Cheng looked at the incoming calls on his mobile phone. As the date of the book's release became closer and closer, the number of calls Yu Qi had with him gradually increased. In the past two days, it had reached five calls a day.

Gu Cheng also understood that after all, this book no longer belonged to him alone. Yu Qi had basically exerted all his abilities, and it was not like he had traveled through time and had not seen the status of this book in his previous life.

No matter how good others praise you and your achievements, no one can say that they have perfected their plans until the results come out.

"Cheng Zi, a film and television company has contacted me and wants to buy the film and television adaptation rights before the book is released. The price is about 500,000. What do you think?"

"Five million?"

Gu Cheng smiled contemptuously. This price may be astronomical in the eyes of many new writers, but Gu Cheng has not taken it seriously yet. If people in the past life and time knew that he had bought the classic "Murder on the Orient Express"

If the copyright of a mystery novel is sold for 500,000 yuan, most people will laugh at themselves for not knowing anything.

Moreover, this film and television company wanted to buy the copyright at this time, and it was not a good idea. They wanted to take it by surprise, and if the sales exploded later, they would undoubtedly have taken advantage of it.
