Even the "Sherlock Holmes" series might be ruined, and these second-rate writers are not as popular as Su Yuechen. If it were to be published by Shan Se Culture Communication Co., Ltd., it would be doomed for sure. This is what most of these second-rate writers think.
The most important structure of a company like Jingshu Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. is that it needs the support of many second-rate writers, and it can be said that the depth of a publishing house is not measured by how many top authors it has, but by how many first-rate authors it has.
It's probably hard for many people to understand, but to put it simply, top writers are promoted from first-rate writers, and first-rate writers are promoted from second-rate writers. A book becoming a classic is rare in the online literature circle, and even rarer in physical books. Think about it, if there are only a handful of second-rate authors, how can you cultivate first-rate authors, let alone top writers?
This is actually the difference between a certain dimension and a certain point on the previous earth. Even if many big gods are dug away, the connotation of a certain point cannot be compared with ordinary websites. Even if there are many big gods being dug, there are many small gods and medium gods, and medium gods can be promoted to big gods, while small gods can be promoted to medium gods. This is why a certain point can always maintain its industry leader position on the previous earth.
De Yun She's president is greedy for wealth, but after all, he is still a president. He understands this principle very well, so he spreads rumors like this. However, Wang Ni's publicity was too good and timely, which not only washed away the rumor but also gave these second-rate writers hope. Isn't selling 500,000 copies in three days attractive enough?
The head of DeYun Publishing House tore into pieces the Early Talk Newspaper handed over by the editor in a fit of rage.
"How is it possible that a direct sales on a forum can sell 500,000 copies in three days? This is absolutely fake." The president was furious, and the editor-in-chief, Gou Xi, and the small editor didn't dare to persuade him, only dared to echo "Yes, yes, yes, it's fake" "This data was fabricated by Wang Ni".
"It's impossible for Wang Ni to play such a trick, you guys quickly go and investigate what's going on." The president of De Yun Publishing House calmed down.
Gou Xi and Xiao Bian escaped from the company's president office in a similar way as they would escape from danger, to investigate the reason.
Gou Xi never thought that "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" was particularly brilliant, with its mediocre title and introduction, plus its strange writing style, which didn't even pique his interest in reading it. That's why he offered a price of 1,500 words for the translation, which was still due to Su Xichen's personal reputation; otherwise, Gou Xi thought that this book was only worth 1,000 words.
So he didn't believe that "The Sherlock Holmes Collection" could sell 500,000 copies in just three days, and even thought that selling 100,000 copies in two days was just Su Rui Chen's good luck, running into a rich fool.
At the first time, Gou Xi logged onto that website which directly sold "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes", namely the Sherlock Holmes Forum.
"What a waste of such a good website by being so foolish"
Click on the sales page, and my gaze stayed on the left side of the page 【Current total sales volume: 5.4 million copies】
"It's absolutely fake, yesterday I came to see that it was only 110,000 copies, but now it's 540,000 copies, an increase of over 400,000 copies in just one day. This loophole is too big, haha, I've got your handle." Gou Xi smiled smugly and then closed the webpage.
Then all sorts of titles have been conceived in the mind "Wang Ni's price for attracting attention", "Three days broke five million, a good joke", "A huge joke"…
The title is well thought out, and Gou Xi can be said to have racked his brains to come up with this denunciatory article criticizing Wang Ni.
Within one day, sales increased by over 400,000. This achievement is indeed difficult to understand and accept, but in fact, thinking about it, it's not that terrifying.
First of all, the entire "New Journey to the West" crew has a large number of popular stars, and the total number of fans of these stars is absolutely over 10 million. Alone, Li Yifeng's fans are over 3 million, so if the total number of fans in the crew is not over 10 million, it's definitely a lie.
But even if there are only 10 million fans, and only half of them like to read books, that's 5 million. And among those 5 million people, only half would be interested in reasoning, which is 2.5 million. Among these 2.5 million people, even if only one-fifth would buy the book recommended by their idol, that's still 500,000. Which means this increase of over 400,000 is actually an underestimation.
Of course, it's not just that. "Sherlock Holmes" is not only a big star in the drama group, but also a wave on Weibo. According to incomplete statistics, news about "Sherlock Holmes" has been forwarded over 100 million times.
Over 100 million views look very scary, but actually, it's nothing. In the past life, a message on the Earth's red star Weibo was forwarded over 1 million times, which is an easy thing to do, and even commenting over 1 million times is also very simple.
Furthermore, the entertainment circle in this world is even more explosive than on Earth. A popular star's casual remark can easily be forwarded tens of millions of times.
Regarding the popularity of "Sherlock Holmes", it's not just about hundreds of celebrities reposting, but also tens of millions of fans reposting, plus some people who are just watching and reposting, the total number is over a billion times, which is still a conservative estimate.
That is to say, under the comments of forwarding, only two hundredths will be interested in "Sherlock Holmes" and go to buy it. One tenth of one billion forwards is also five million, so breaking ten million is really a very simple thing.
Just as Gou Xi was about to publish his well-written article, Xian Yue Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. sent another message: "Congratulations, 'The Sherlock Holmes Collection' has sold over 600,000 copies"
I don't even want to say it, and yet in less than two hours, sales have increased by 1 million. It's as if the media thinks people are idiots. Gou Xi sneered.
Gou Xi got off his horse and went downstairs to buy a few newspapers. He thought that this false data would definitely be exposed by the newspaper.
However, all the newspapers and magazines he bought were filled with articles such as "Congratulations to genius writer Su Xincheng on his surge in sales", "Sales of 600,000 in just one day, this is the brilliance of Su Xincheng!", "A myth created by Su Xincheng!!", "Wang Ni dug up Su Xincheng, and Shanshi Company rose with Su Xincheng" All were praising articles.
Gouzhi Creek is furious and thinks that these media outlets don't have any IQ, believing such false information to the extreme.
However, one report caught his attention "Triggering a network craze" Is the network craze on fire online? Back to the publishing house, opening the computer and searching for [Holmes], many headlines popped up.
"Highly Recommended by the Crew"
Go into the full text: The crew of "New Journey to the West" has always been closed for filming, but yesterday they unusually allowed various media to conduct interviews. All major media outlets flocked to visit, like sharks smelling blood, but in the end, it turned out that the entire crew was recommending Su Shi's new book "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", which completely fooled the media!!!
Gou Xi suddenly understood that it was actually like this. It turns out that Su Xichen's face is really big, and he can actually let the entire crew promote his new book for him.
However, the news is like this: 《100 Celebrity Lotus Recommendations Must-Read Classics!!》 Even if the entire crew was promoting Su Xichen, there aren't 100 celebrities, and online news is just exaggerating!!
Click to go
"The Sherlock Holmes Collection" is jointly recommended by 100 stars on the back cover, possibly the only one in the world, an unforgettable classic!!
The report also took some screenshots of Weibo posts from music industry celebrities, with recommendations for "Sherlock Holmes" on their pages.
Many movie stars and celebrities have the same recommendation message about "Sherlock Holmes" on their Weibo, not to mention some explosive new stars. All are messages about "Sherlock Holmes", no wonder the sales will rise so explosively, after being jointly recommended by hundreds of celebrities, it would be strange if sales didn't explode.
However, Gou Xi didn't give up and thought these reports were exaggerated. He opened his Weibo account and found that almost all the celebrities he followed had forwarded the "Sherlock Holmes" book recommendation post. Some fans and fan clubs were also frantically forwarding it. Everywhere he looked on Weibo, he saw this post, it was like it had become an official Weibo announcement!
Gu Xi was speechless. The article he had written with great care, exposing Wang Ni's flaws, suddenly seemed useless. Even the most popular celebrity endorsements couldn't match such sales figures.
"Dad, look quickly, 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' has been sold out online," said Lao Hei's daughter, pointing at the computer.
"Sold out online?" Lao Hei walked over and looked at the computer, the sales volume of 7.2 million on the webpage dazzled his eyes.
"How long has it been on sale?"
"Just launched online sales for three days"
"Three days and 720,000 sales?!?!" Old Hei took a deep breath, regretting his earlier decision. If he had bought 500 copies of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection", he would have made a profit of 3,000 yuan by now. Buying 5,000 copies would have earned him 30,000 yuan. With such terrifying sales on the internet, selling several thousand copies was only a matter of time.
Why didn't I stand firmer from the very beginning!!!
This is all money!! Old Hei was wildly roaring in his heart.
It's not too late to mend the fold after losing a sheep. Like a thief, he made a call to Shu River and ordered 1,000 copies of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection". Tomorrow, or rather today, he will put "The Sherlock Holmes Collection" on the bookshelves in his store. As for the blockade by De Yun Press, screw it!
As Karl Marx wrote in Das Kapital: "with adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 50 per cent. makes it ready to trample on all human laws; 100 per cent., and there is not a crime at which it will scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged."
Lao Hei is like that, when he didn't realize the profit that "Sherlock Holmes" could bring, he still cared about the influence of De Yun Publishing House and didn't dare to buy "Sherlock Holmes", but now that he has recognized the money-making ability of "Sherlock Holmes", who cares about De Yun Publishing House?
It's not just Lao Hei who has this idea, today Xanadu Culture Communication Co., Ltd. is busy, many bookstores have called to order "The Sherlock Holmes Collection".
Kusugawa came to the student council president's office, "President, I've figured out why 'The Collected Works of Sherlock Holmes' is selling so well."
"No need to say, I already know why," said the president of De Yun Publishing House with a gloomy face. Even if he knew why, what could he do? He indeed had connections in the Radio and Television Bureau, which was also the reason why no newspaper dared to report on the ban of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection". However, even with his connections in the Radio and Television Bureau, how could he stop this trend? This was a joint recommendation by hundreds of celebrities, and it would be strange if he could stop it. In other words, the popularity of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection" had already become unstoppable, which was why he looked so gloomy.
"That president has already ordered 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' from a bookstore outside." The little editor said as he re-entered the president's office.
"Should I warn the president?" asked Gou Xi.
"It's useless, all these bookstore owners are people who won't give up easily, even if they agree with you on the surface, they will still secretly purchase from her, so wanting to suppress Wang Ni is better done through another method..."
