Chapter 257: Praise
Gu Lu started to spread his influence in magazines such as "Story Club", "Times Mystery", "Youth Literature", "Youth Digest", "New Reading" and "Science Fiction World", all of which were published in newspapers. Kiosk for sale.
To put it more bluntly, he has a relatively large popularity among newsstand readers.
This is also a new publicity method discussed at the publishing house meeting.
“I feel that for this kind of publicity, the effect of new books should be second, and the greater role is to expand the circle of influence.” Mu Xue said, “Because the majority of people do not go to bookstores, and who at newsstands Everyone will pass by, even if only one out of ten people sees it, the advertising effect is amazing.”
In terms of business, Mu Xue's IQ is online.
Zhao Mingming took another look at the poster. The shop owner did not use transparent glue. In order to save costs, he only used two rows of lighters as heavy objects to hold down the upper corners.
Hung on the glass cigarette cabinet, people passing by on the roadside will see it whether they look sideways or directly, especially when buying cigarettes.
More than ten meters past the newsstand, the two continued to discuss.
"Xiaoxue, don't you feel a little guilty? I think you can use your pocket money to buy a few more of your cousin's new books." Zhao Mingming suddenly said, "Help my cousin boost sales. .”
Mu Xue was silent for a moment and said, "No."
Reluctant? Zhao Mingming didn't say anything more. After all, she was not the one who spent the money.
"I can't save money in the first place," Mu Xue sighed, "the total pocket money adds up to 200,000 yuan at most."
It is true that some people are born in Rome, and some people are born in Rome. It's a cow or a horse.
Think about it, after all, Mu Xue is the one who prepared 100,000 yuan to go through the back door.
"I don't know the unit price of my cousin's new book "Flatland", so I will calculate it based on 25 per copy." Mu Xue said, "After calculating this, I can only buy about 8,000 copies."
Eight Thousand Ben——Zhao Mingming understands that it is not too important to Gu Lu, who has four best-selling books, and the minimum sales volume of the books is 210,000 copies (Yesterday Park).
“In this way, I use my pocket money to help promote on the Internet, and buying a fake army for more than 100,000 yuan should still have good results.” Mu Xue said.
"Xiaoxue's clever IQ has really taken over the high ground again." Zhao Mingming nodded, "I will definitely support you. When you run out of pocket money and can't travel, I will definitely send you more pictures when I travel. ”
“Zhao Mingming!”
After playing around for a while, the two began to think about hiring a navy army, but——
The offline and online promotions of Children's Publishing House were launched at the same time.
Peninsula Metropolis Daily: “This will be a popular science novel across the ages.”
Shangguan News: “Gu Lu is a genius, and the little prince is the genius’ first flash of inspiration. Now, Flatland will be the second time.” One hundred thousand copies.”
In addition, Internet media such as The Paper, Yangtze Evening News, Jiemian News, and People's News have similar reports.
The most discussed author currently is Mo Yan, and he is T1 who won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
The controversial point is where Mo Yan’s butt sits.
Not much to talk about this topic, let’s continue talking about the popularity of T2, Zheng Yuanjie, Cai Jun, Nian Mingyue and others. Although Gu Lu’s works have not kept up, his reputation has.
It also triggered many discussions among people who are interested in books.
For example, Chief Editor Wang's son Wang Ban was discussing with his friends.
Birds of a feather flock together, Wang Ban’s friend Xiaohua is also a literature lover, and is just one step away from publishing an article as an official author.
"Xiaohua, look at this news." Wang Ban's mobile phone page stayed on Xinhuanet.
[The reporter learned from the Children's Literature Publishing House that the Children's Publishing House will release the book "Flatland" in mid-May, which is an interesting science popularization of mathematical graphics and space.
I learned from President Jian that "Flatland" was selected into the "Vision Project" of Sichuan Publishing House before it was released. "All the review editors of our publishing house believe that it will be a recent publication." The best popular science work of the decade. ”
"Guaranteed sales should be 500,000 copies."
Flatland is a wildly imaginative book that draws simplicity from the latest and best writing on aesthetics and ethics insights.
……]
Currently, Sina Weibo is not that strong yet, and most people still go to the portal website to read news instead of reading hot searches.
Xiaohua read it quickly. Since Wang Ban took the phone back, he couldn't see the rest of the content.
"I remember we discussed it online before. My attitude has changed a little. After all, this guy's science fiction is everywhere in Neon. I still have some expectations for popular science." Xiaohua changed the subject, " Even so, President Jian’s words are too exaggerated.”
“Indeed.” Wang Ban nodded.
"Gu Lu's current reputation is a mixture of good and bad." Xiaohua said, "It's difficult."
"There are probably more good things. After all, the little prince can be considered a The culture has been exported,” Wang Ban said, “I always feel that President Jian is both a pink and a hater.”
"For example, the semi-autobiographical student work "Bingguo" was also published, and then we helped promote it. Such a big publicity would be counterproductive if no good works were produced," Wang Ban said.
“It’s better to say that President Jian cherishes Gu Lu’s talent too much.” Xiaohua corrected, “That’s why I care so much about Gu Lu’s works.”
"It makes sense. My dad would also do this kind of thing. When he was the editor-in-chief, an author's family was in trouble and his books were not selling well. But he admired the other person's talent, so he kept lending money to that author. "Wang Ban nodded.
"Then what? Did the author pay back the money after he became rich?" Xiaohua asked curiously.
“No,” Wang Ban replied, “Then the author didn’t become famous and switched to opening a barbecue restaurant, and he didn’t pay back the money because the barbecue restaurant failed.”
"..." Xiao Hua paused, "Gu Lu's talent does not disappoint President Jian. Especially Liaozhai Xinyi, my mother, this power is like an old fox who has lived for many years, it is too exaggerated."
"Just like Gu Lu, no, 99.99% of us can't even see the taillights even if we apply full power." Xiaohua said.
"What are you talking about! I am born with talents that will be useful. We are also talented, so we cannot underestimate ourselves!" Wang Ban encouraged.
When Xiaohua wanted to boost his energy, Wang Ban said, "We are at least one-third Gu Lu, right?"
"..."
Wang Ban had complicated feelings about Gu Lu. On the one hand, he wanted "Flatland" to fail because he was the one who had his lungs pierced by Gu Lu.
His father, President Wang, said, "If your work can compare with his, there will be no problem in publishing it."
The result is GG.
But he didn’t want to see Gu Lu fail and be laughed at, because he was the one who defeated him after all.
The conversation between these two people is basically the same as other netizens’ thoughts after seeing the news.
I have confidence in Gu Lu, but I think President Jian’s excessive publicity is flattering.
Therefore, there are many criticisms of President Jian.
President Jian’s words also made “Flatland” known to more people.
You must know that there are dozens of new books on the market every month, such as "Escape from Munich", "The Diary of a Super Slut" 7 and 8, and even "Mo Yan's Republic of Literature", which specializes in Mo Yan.
And the unique "Montoliercan" in this world and so on.
There are so many books, but nothing makes people remember them, and they won't make a splash, let alone buy them.
Finally, a little tip. If you are interested in new books published by publishing houses across the country every month, you can pay attention to the magazine "National New Books List" to see clearly.
