Chapter 44: he

　　 Yinlan Book Bank naturally does not have a player like He Mingxuan who specially nests in the bookstore to mark people. After the works published by Supernova have been widely distributed in various bookstores in Qinzhou, the only thing that can slightly reflect some market results is reader feedback.
　　 was only sporadic at first.
　　 It takes time to read after all.
　　 For publishers, sporadic comments are not of much reference value, but as the first batch of readers read the novel one after another, the feedback of the five works of Supernova has gradually increased on the official website of Yinlan Book Bank.
　　 What worries publishers is...
The company’s first supernova, "The Devil of the Other World," seems to have a poor reputation. For a novel with a perfect score of 10, most readers have scored less than five points. It seems that everyone is not interested in the mode of this novel. .
　　 "The routine of changing the soup without changing the medicine."
"The protagonist is so special that he has passed through to become a demon king, and it feels like a waste of wood. Since I use the perspective of the devil to create, can I not write the protagonist so waste? Is the protagonist not waste wood? Book?"
　　 "I regret buying this book after reading it."
　　 "Cut it in the middle, no interest."
Qinzhou novels are published in separate volumes, so the sales volume of the first volume is very important. Those novels that do not sell well are prone to be cut in half. The publisher will notify the author to finish writing as soon as possible. In the end, it will probably be compressed to three or five volumes by the author. After all, publishing companies have to free up resources for some more promising works.
　　 Many readers are spraying.
Of course, not all of them are bad reviews. Some readers feel that the perspective of "Alien Demon" is very novel: "Although it is old wine in a new bottle, at least the identity of the protagonist is different from the traditional alien adventure model, and it will not be cut in half. ."
　　 Maybe it exploded later?
　　 This situation is not without precedent.
There is a very popular novel on the market right now. When it was first released, the word-of-mouth was very general, and the sales were not satisfactory. At that time, the publisher informed the author that it was cut. Who knew that after two volumes, the story of the book had a climax. The sales exploded, so that the plan to cut the waist was cancelled. The book is still serialized and has been published in volume 22.
　　 But such examples are rare.
　　Because the first volume of the novel cannot attract readers at the beginning, it will be difficult for the readers to survive until that time if you burst later. Only when readers are attracted at the beginning, the novel can continue to be serialized steadily.
　　 is not only the first word-of-mouth reputation.
　　 Supernova's works from second to fourth place have a very average reputation, and the second place score reaches five points, but five points can only be considered as passing in the novel market, and it is not very good.
　　 "This year is difficult."
At the departmental meeting of Yinlan Library a week later, some editors looked at the comments of several novels and sighed: "I thought the sales of "Alien Demon" could explode, but as readers have seen more adventure novels As more and more people come, everyone's requirements are getting higher and higher."
　　 "That's right."
"It's not that this year's supernova is not as good as before, but the readers' reading taste is getting better and better. No wonder the editors have always wanted to support new topics. Readers of old topics are tired of reading, and novels must provide new excitement. Come."
　　 "……"
　　 In the early TV series, there were always car accidents, cancer, abortions and other brain-dead plots. The audience didn't always watch them with relish, but now that this kind of plot appears again, the audience will point the director's nose directly.
　　 is the same in the field of fiction.
A few years ago, foreign adventure novels can be popular for any gimmick. For example, there is a novel called "Bring a Mobile Phone in Another World", which tells the protagonist with a magical mobile phone that can be used in another world, and pretends to slap his face all the way. From the current perspective, the story may be horrible, but readers still liked the novel at the time.
　　 "The whole army was not annihilated either."
　　 Yang Feng tried to comfort everyone: "Although the novel "Net King" is the last supernova, its reputation is still very good. Now the score is as high as 8.5 points. This score is very remarkable."
　　 Yang Feng is right.
　　 Although the reputation of the first four books of Supernova is not satisfactory, the score of "Net King" is currently very high, and readers in the comment area are basically praised.
　　 "This is the best book!"
　　 "I didn't expect that competitive novels like tennis could be written so wonderfully. I picked it up in a bookstore and looked at it casually. I didn't expect that I couldn't put it down when I picked it up, and I directly announced that I was in the pit "Net King"."
　　 "A clear stream of supernova!"
"I'm tired of watching alien adventures, and occasionally changing my tastes is unexpectedly good. I have recommended "Net King" to many friends, but many people are not interested. Like me before, they don't understand competitive novels at all. charm."
　　 "……"
The editors naturally know that "The King of the Net" has a high rating, which can be said to be rave reviews, but for Yinlan Book Library, the reputation of this novel can only be regarded as a consolation prize, because the subject matter of this novel is too unpopular, and the sales volume is almost Impossible to burst.
"It's useless."
　　 "The subject matter is too cold."
　　 "Should you be cheered?"
The editors are not too excited. Every publishing house will have some novels that are not popular. For such novels, the major publishing houses basically take the attitude of support. Even if the sales are not good, they will try their best to provide publishing resources. , Just like film companies need some literary films to put gold on their faces, but the company really makes money by selling novels.
　　 "Don't be downcast."
　　 The editor-in-chief is very dissatisfied with the status of the editors: "Just like you, the sales have not yet come out, and word of mouth is not everything. Although some novels are not highly rated, the sales are still very good."
　　 "So too."
"Have the opportunity!"
　　 "It's just word of mouth."
There is hope in the editors’ eyes. Word of mouth does not mean everything. There are some books on the market that are not popular, and some books have a bad reputation, but their sales are steadily high. Many readers these days are arrogant and honest. Jiao, "The King of Nets" belongs to the former in everyone's eyes. The other supernova books may not be the latter!
　　 These people are so foolish.
　　The deputy editor quietly curled his lips.
　　 There are few works that are not popular, but the reputation is bad but the sales are not many. In the general law of the book market, most of the time, the reputation and sales can still form a direct ratio...
　　 "The meeting is over."
　　 The editor in chief waved his hand.
　　 After the crowd dispersed, the editor-in-chief suddenly became worried, and the state of this picture is not as good as the editors just now: "It seems that this time the supernova is really messed up, unless there is a miracle."
　　 "Miracle?"
　　 The deputy editor who did not leave also smiled bitterly:
Let’s go to the statistics department together. The first week of sales of supernovas over there should have been counted. Let’s see where the miracle is.

　　 Chief Editor: "……"
　　 The two came to the relevant department side by side. The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief looked at the female director of the statistics department at the same time: "Supernova's first week of sales should be counted now, right?"
"coming?"
　　 The female director’s expression was a bit cold, and it seemed that these two guys were particularly unhappy. After saying a word, she turned around and started busy: "The statistics table is on the table and you can ask me if you don’t understand."
　　 "Where did we offend her?"
　　 The editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief looked at each other, and then took a look at the statistics table, which directly killed their last hope, because the highest-selling "Devil of the Other World" had only 180,000 copies.
　　 This is a supernova!
　　 The works that could be published in the Supernova Awards in the past years did not sell more than 300,000 in the first week, and I was embarrassed to go out and greet people. But this year, the highest sales volume of the five supernova books was less than 200,000.
　　 But at least one thing is correct.
　　 That is the top five ranked by supernovas, and the sales are also perfectly in line with their respective names. The editor-in-chief is happy: "At least we have no errors in the sales rankings. It is the reader's fault if the sales data is not good."
"Yep!"
　　 deputy editor nodded
The female supervisor who had left turned back, and when she heard the conversation between the two of them, she suddenly became furious~EbookFREE.me~ and she immediately began to explode: "As for the two of you, the judgement is correct? My mother's phone calls are so bad. Do you know if it’s exploded! Bookstores all over Qinzhou are urging me for goods. Now, as soon as I answer the phone, I will be the king of netizens when I open the opposite side! The heads of the urged old ladies are going to explode! You know how many of me. Is it too busy for the day to ship and supply? Do you know that my menopause is about to be urged ahead of schedule! Do you know that I haven't slept well for a few days!?"
　　 The female director has red eyes!
　　 The artillery language crackled, and the spit and stars caught the editor-in-chief and the deputy editor's face, and the two of them shivered from the momentum.
"That one……"
The two carefully looked at the statistics table, and seriously confirmed: "The sales volume of "Net King" is the last supernova. Why might it be out of stock? Auntie, you seem to have eaten a gun. Something must be wrong. Right?"
　　 "Make a mistake?"
The female director looked at the two people in front of her with an idiot look: "The inventory of "Net King" is just 100,000 copies, which is not enough for the major booksellers. The third day after the publication of Supernova It's sold out, you let someone compete for sales?"
　　 The editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief were dumbfounded.
　　 The two of them just patronized the sales rankings of supernovas, and completely forgot that the first publication of "Net King" was only 100,000 copies.
　　 After a scolding by the female director, I remembered it.
　　 At this moment, the two of them opened their eyes wide, and finally realized something vaguely, the miracle they longed for seemed to have really appeared!
　　 "Two people."
　　 The female supervisor showed a dangerous smile, and her tone was strangely gentle: "Please answer me which brain-dead made the decision to publish the 100,000 copies of "Net King" in advance?"
　　 "He!"
　　 Chief editor and deputy editor point to each other at the same time.
