Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 108: Two editors

In June when the weather is getting warmer, when Sun Peng is enjoying the braised pork and spicy grilled fish inherited from her grandmother, while he is busy giving the end of his new book animation, the magic capital is thousands of miles away. , Two men who were related to him got together.

"Ziyou!"

After taking a sip of Jiangnanhong, Han Feng's dark face suddenly wrinkled, and he quickly took a breath to drive away the spicy spirit of the liquor.

"Hey, drink slowly."

Frowning, Zheng Ye shook his head to persuade him. He still didn't understand. Why do so many people like white wine because it has a spicy throat? How good is it to have some beer in summer like him?

"Tsk tsk, this wine is really exciting."

Although he is in the magic capital, Han Feng, a thorough northerner, still likes some spicy wine, and can't help but slap his lips in praise.

Seeing Han Feng enjoying the way, Zheng Ye rolled his eyes and said, "Old Han, what is the matter with you asking me to come out today? If you want to ask me if you have something, you just said it!"

"In fact, it's nothing, I just want to ask about the sales volume of the physical book of the carving carving."

Squinting his eyes and taking a bite of the dish, Han Feng said casually: "The main thing is that I haven't gotten together with you for a few days. I just took this opportunity to have a meal together."

"Huh? What do you care about the sales of Eagle Shooting?"

After listening to Han Feng's words, Zheng Ye was slightly startled, and Zheng Ye asked quite puzzled.

Although Sculpture was originally serialized on the Shuxiang Chinese website, the editor at the time was not Han Feng. Secondly, Sculpture had never been on the shelves... Of course, the most important thing was the sales of the physical version and the editors of their website. It doesn't matter, this old Han called himself out specifically and asked why this?

Flicking his eyelids, Han Feng cried out a little impatiently: "Oh, just talk about it first!"

"Sales are pretty good... well, it should be said to be very good!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Zheng Ye said patiently: "Actually... the sales volume of Condor Shooting is really a bit beyond our expectations. At the beginning, I thought that 60,000 copies could be sold for half a year. I sold nearly 10,000 copies in one week; later I thought that we would have to print in two or three months, but I didn’t expect that we would have no books to distribute in just over a month; then I thought that printing 50,000 copies would last a while. result……"

"What's the result?"

The pupils shrank slightly, Han Feng asked hurriedly.

"As a result, these 50,000 copies are not selling slowly!"

Shaking his head, Zheng Ye said with a smile: "I thought the book buyers were all readers and fans on the Internet. I didn't expect that the word of mouth exploded after Shooting Diao entered the Guque ranking list. Those passerby readers read the comments of the fans. I also started to start, and the sales didn't drop much at all...If this goes on, it is very likely that 100,000 copies will be sold in three months. Do you dare to believe such a result?"

"One hundred thousand?!"

After listening to Zheng Ye's answer, Han Feng suddenly said, "If you have one hundred thousand in three months, wouldn't it be worth three to four hundred thousand sets in a year? This number can be in the top 100 of the annual list? This... …This is going to heaven!"

"Hehe, isn't it!"

Taking a sip of beer from the cup, Zheng Ye felt a little proud. Although it is a shame to make mistakes in judgment, the more such shameful things for an editor, the better!

Seeing Zheng Ye's raised mouth, Han Feng suddenly became a little unbalanced. He sighed and put down his wine glass: "Oh, you're fine, but here is... tell you that, the kid just sent me a message. , Said Xiaoao will be finished by the end of June."

"End of the book? So fast?!"

For a moment, Zheng Ye's eyes widened.

"Yes, it's less than a million words again!"

After another long sigh, Han Feng said distressedly: "Old Zheng, just talk about his current grades. He only has to insist on writing three million... No, as long as two million words, I promise to have ordered them. Fifty, three million over eighty, four million...maybe it can break one hundred and become the fifth top **** on Shuxiang Chinese website! Tell me, is this the truth?"

"Hehe, so what?"

Enjoying the feeling of being drunk, Zheng Ye glanced at Han Feng, who had already started to show his face: "You know the truth that the longer the novel, the higher the subscription, don’t that kid know? But people just don’t want to, what do you have? Method?"

When he said this, Zheng Ye was actually a little refreshed.

Not to mention that many novels published by publishers come from websites, but online texts and physical books are actually opposed to each other in some places. On the Internet, it seems that longer length is more advantageous. After all, as long as the quality is guaranteed, the longer the length, the higher the order may be; but for physical books, it is different, and the refined language is more likely to be welcomed.

So what Han Feng complained was actually what Zheng Ye expected.

But as an old friend of Han Feng, Zheng Ye can also understand his dissatisfaction. Everyone hopes that he can produce a top-notch author, because this represents your confidence and strength, and the most promising unintentional among the authors in Han Feng's hands is Sun Peng, that is, the old Bai Da.

It has been on the shelves for more than three months, and Xiaoao’s bookings have already exceeded 200,000!

Even if it is placed on the entire website, this data is of first-class level, not to mention Xiaoao is still a declining chivalrous novel section, and it is definitely a miracle to be able to get such a result! Because of this, Han Feng was so depressed after Sun Peng informed that Xiao Ao was about to finish his book yesterday. He has never seen a top **** before...

"Old Han, don't care too much."

Looking at Han Feng with a gloomy look, Zheng Ye comforted him kindly: "In fact, you and I know very well that although the Eagle Shooting and Xiaoao are very good, but... Lao Bai's writing style determines that the online subscription is good. , But it’s difficult to really get to the top position. The future of these books is still in the physical version."

"Uh……"

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Han Feng finally picked up the wine glass angrily and took another sip.

Although he wanted to refute, he knew what Zheng Ye said was the truth.

Although the Eagle Shooting and Xiaoao are different from traditional chivalrous novels, it can be said that they have created a new school, which is what Sun Peng said. There are amazing sects, internal skills, hidden weapons and various magical techniques, as well as amazing characters such as Wujue, Invincible Oriental, and Fengqingyang. At the same time, there are also people who can't help but open their minds. , The plot that makes the case so horrific, absolutely possesses all the inevitable elements of a big fire on the Internet.

only……

What makes people sad is that the time when the Eagle Shooting and Xiaoao were born was wrong.

In this era when fast food literature dominates, what is needed on the Internet is the plot and various settings of shooting carving and smiling proud, but it does not need such a wonderful writing!

Yes, the text of the two books is really good.

This sounds a bit weird, but it is a fact in front of us-in the eyes of the two editors, the excellent text level is not suitable for use on the Internet.

What the Internet of this era needs is simple, straightforward text.

Young readers are either reading or working. Most of them have very limited time to read, and the main purpose of reading is to entertain, kill time or relieve pressure. In this case, the book should be written brilliantly, and the text should be straightforward and simple. Only in this way can they receive the largest amount of information in the shortest time. In other words, they don’t need to think too much when reading a book. Too much information will be missed.

Therefore, the length of several million words at every turn is one of the characteristics of online novels.

Therefore, compared with these online novels, the words of Shooting Eagle and Xiaoao are not suitable for this kind of fast reading, but to sit down and read slowly. This kind of book can reach the current subscription level on Shuxiang.com. Apart from the frightening quality of the novel, the editors can’t find a second reason...

Of course Han Feng understands this, but when he thinks of Sun Peng's indifferent and firm attitude, he can only sigh helplessly: "Come on, I don't want that much anymore. But Xiaoao will be finished soon. , Haven't you settled with Lao Bai yet?"

"Hey, don't mention it."

Speaking of Xiaoao’s physical book, Zheng Ye was depressed this time. He sighed with a bitter face, "The sales volume of Eagle Shooting is good. We are still regretting the twelve points of royalties paid to him. High, I didn’t expect people to think it was too low. It’s been more than a month and I haven’t reached an agreement. It’s tossing me..."
