I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 339 Finished
"Clumsy and uncommon: Of course, it doesn't matter if the publicity effect is not good. The main reason is that my work fails to meet readers' expectations, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Ayer's publicity strategy."

Ji Zhuo replied to the news from the editor-in-chief Ayer, and comforted the editor-in-chief Ayer in advance.

After all, Editor-in-Chief Al is so caring, wouldn't it be uncomfortable to go according to the result he expected.

On the other hand, the editor-in-chief Al was a little excited when he saw the news that Mr. I replied, and he felt a bit like dying for his confidant.
He saw Mr. I's trust in Ayer Publishing House and his support, even though this kind of publicity method will make Mr. I and Ayer Publishing House bear the same stigma in the early stage.

But Mr. I still firmly supported his approach, and deliberately ruled out his responsibility and worries!
He has already decided that no matter what, this great work of Mr. I must achieve the results he deserves.
It doesn't matter if Ayr Press doesn't make money on this book!

This trust cannot be betrayed.

In addition, even if the publishing house of this book does not make money, spreading the reputation of the publishing house is also making money!
'al: Mr. I, don't worry, the publishing house will do everything possible to promote your works, and will not let your works be drowned! '

Feeling agitated, Al replied to Ji Zhuo's message.

On this side, Ji Zhuo, who can see Al's excitement through the screen,

Seeing this news, I was silent for a while,

Then I didn’t seem to have anything to say, so I silently replied,
"Clumsy and uncommon: Thank you, editor-in-chief Al, for your hard work.

al: It is an honor for Al Press to publish your work! "

On the other hand, after the editor-in-chief of Ayer Publishing House replied to this message,
Taking advantage of the turbulent mood in his heart, he turned his head again and shouted at his wife Penny,

"Penny! Mr. I supports our approach! More investment, more publicity! I want to let the readers who should see it know "Ordinary and Great"!"

"Add more online media!"

The mainstream media, Ayer Publishing House, has no channels or funds to help write such exaggerated publicity drafts.
However, if you find some online media and personal accounts that are not too high or low, and spend a little more money, you can still issue a lot of such promotional articles.

The publicity drafts of the Internet media can still be seen by readers who browse the relevant news and relevant news from time to time, and even feel overwhelming.

……

"Mr. Carroll, recently there is a small publishing house on the Internet, using an exaggerated way, trying to grab some heat from the popularity of our publishing house's co-author ABC and that writer."

Burt Publishing House, Carol is in a good mood during this time.

"The Epic of the Empire" won the Goncourt Prize for Literature, and the news that ABC will have a fair competition with his friend "Dog Author" for the next book,

Still occupying a lot of heat on the Internet.

Although the sales volume of "Epic of Empire" has dropped a lot compared to before, it has never dropped sharply.

It still maintains a good weekly sales volume, and the steady flow adds luster to its total sales performance.

Linna entered the office and handed Carol the sales list of "Epic of Empire" and "Seven Deadly Sins" in the past week.

Before going out, he paused again and told Carol about the latest news on the Internet.

"I know, I've seen it too."

From time to time, Carol would open a trumpet to discuss heatedly with the readers of the dog author, and naturally noticed the recent movement on the Internet.

"Then should we do something? After all, the heat they seized should belong to us."

Linna's eyes lit up a little, and she looked at Carol.

In fact, she doesn't care about the matter itself, but cares more about whether ABC's new book will be released in the near future.
If it is released in the near future, the publishing house will definitely need to maintain the current popularity on the Internet to facilitate the promotion of the new book.

And she, as the editor of Burt Publishing House and a loyal reader of Mr. ABC, can also see and read Mr. ABC's new book.

"Let me ask first. Ask if Mr. A's new book will be released soon."

Carol thought about it and replied.

The recent popularity of 'ABC' and 'Dog Author' on the Internet mainly comes from the huge readership of the two,
The publishing house did not spend any money to maintain it deliberately. Naturally, millions of readers on both sides have small frictions and heated discussions anywhere on the Internet from time to time, and occasionally care about when the next two authors' new books will be released.

"Um……"

Lin Na responded, nodded, and went out in no hurry.

Standing on one side of the office, looking at Carol.

Carol turned his gaze to the computer screen, put his hands on the keyboard and thought about sending a message to Mr. A.

……

"Ji Zhuo?"

"It's okay..."

Ji Zhuo has just finished communicating with the editor-in-chief Al about the publicity strategy of "The Ordinary and the Great",

I picked up the chopsticks and ate dinner with only two chopsticks, and the phone received another message.

He picked it up and saw that it was Carol, who could only reply messages while holding the phone in one hand while eating.

"Carol: Mr. A, sorry to bother you. Have you finished your dinner yet?

Clumsy and uncommon: eating.

Carol: I'm really sorry to bother Mr. A...

Clumsy and uncommon: ...

Clumsy and uncommon: Editor-in-Chief Carroll, please speak directly if you have something to do. "

I don't know where I learned the polite way.

Ji Zhuo wrote back another message,

Just after a while, there was another message coming back,
"Carol: Mr. A, I mainly want to ask you this time, will your work be released in the near future?
Carol: Of course, this is not a urging... mainly because some publishing houses on the Internet are beginning to seize the heat of new book promotion.

Carol: Mr. A, if your recent work is ready to be released, the publishing house will start warming up the promotion. It just so happens that Mr. A is still as enthusiastic as you were when you won the Goncourt Literature Prize. "

Some publishing houses seize the heat...

Ji Zhuo naturally thought of the exaggerated publicity of Ayer Publishing House.

Carol was so moved, I guess it would be helpful?

Ji Zhuo thought that Burt Publishing House would immediately start promoting ABC's new book, and simply suppress the popularity of I's new book.

But helpless... This is purely his own inadequacy,
ABC's new book is not available yet, and Bert Publishing cannot be allowed to promote it...

"Clumsy and uncommon: I'm writing... It will take some time.

Carol: Hmm...Then the publishing house will not start promoting it for the time being? "

Carol understood Mr. A's reply after seeing Mr. A's reply. I am writing, which must mean creating a new document, so I replied like this.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Hmm..."

Ji Zhuo replied like this, paused, put down his phone and continued cooking.

the other side,
Burt Press, Carol raised his head from the computer screen, turned his gaze,

Linna next to her couldn't help asking aloud,
"Mr. Carroll, how are you?"

"Mr. A's new book will take some time."

"Then we don't care about the publicity of those small publishing houses on the Internet?"

"How can we ignore it...Although Mr. A's new book doesn't need to be promoted yet, it can't let people take away the enthusiasm that originally belonged to our "Epic of the Empire"."

"The "Empire Epic" is still being published and sold, so daily publicity is still needed?"

Carol said with a smile.

Lina nodded,

"But don't worry too much about that small publishing house... The greatest new work of this year, the excellent magic realism masterpiece... It's all empty talk, empty praise without content,

Like a clown in a circus.Don't look at the hustle and bustle now, how much hustle and bustle it is now, how much praise it has, how miserable it will be when the book is actually released.

But not all works can afford the words, great works. "

Carol said with a smile.

Before he read the promotional draft of that small publishing house, he felt embarrassed for that publishing house,
Just flattering, but not mentioning the content at all. Is it because the content is not worthy of praise?

Also great works?

In Carroll's heart, among the works published this year, only one work can bear this adjective,

That is the British Literary Prize, the Goncourt Prize-winning work, "The Epic of the Empire".

Even "Seven Days of Hell", which was compared by some readers, he felt worse.

"Mr. Carroll, you are right."

Linna nodded, with a smile on her face.

It is impossible for the small publishing house to want the works of the publishing house, which are also created by such an excellent writer as Mr. ABC.

How could such an excellent writer contribute to such a small publishing house?

Carol smiled too.

……

"Brother, come here?"

The little fat man under the gazebo handed Ji Zhuo potato chips,
Ji Zhuo lowered his head and glanced at Xiaopangdun, then touched a handful of potato chips,
Leaning against the gazebo pillars, he sat up, raised his head, and ate potato chips.

Next to him, the chubby man was also eating potato chips while fighting fiercely with his mobile phone.

Ji Zhuo raised his head and looked at the night.

Diverge some thinking.

After dinner with Yun Qingmu, on the way back to the community,

Ji Zhuo also received a message from Editor-in-Chief Lou.

Almost also concerned about his new book, but unfortunately, his new book has not been released yet.

Dog Author, ABC, I, Ji Zhuo!
You have to hurry up and write a new book!

Ji Zhuo shouted from the bottom of his heart, resting his head on the gazebo pillars,

I'm a little sick.

"Hey……"

Someone nearby sighed,

It's Little Chubby.

Ji Zhuo turned his head and glanced,
At some point, Little Fatty had finished playing the game and was feeling melancholy.

"Hey... the game is not fun, and the dog author's new book is always not published, and that ABC has not announced a new book recently."

The little fat pier propped up his chin, and then sighed again.

"Perhaps you can consider watching anime?"

Ji Zhuo paused, then remembered,
"The animation of "Hour Hand Leaps to Death" should be broadcast soon."

"That's right, the anime seems to be starting soon!"

Little Fatty's eyes lit up, he picked up his phone and quickly opened the broken website,
"Today, it's updated tonight, it's on the air!"

Little Fatty said with some surprise, and then clicked on the playback,
"Brother, do you want to watch together?"

"You see."

Ji Zhuo shook his head,

The little fat pier just looked at it with great interest, looking after himself,
Then, probably the anime of "Hour Hand" also continued the tense and terrifying style of the original novel,

I saw the little chubby holding the phone, shrinking back and shaking from time to time.

Fascinated and nervous to watch.

Ji Zhuo lay there, sat there for a while, then got up and went back to the house.

……

"Crackling..."

"Clap..."

"call……"

The sound of clacking keyboards in the study room began to sound in the morning, and did not stop until evening or even night.

Ji Zhuo passed another eight or nine days like this.

During these nine days, Ji Zhuo basically spent in coding and being urged to write new books.

The code words of the new book are a little tighter.

The great chapter of "The Ordinary and the Great" was written fairly smoothly,

After so many days, the content of the great chapter has almost been written.

"call……"

Taking another breath, Ji Zhuo, who was sitting in the study, paused his hands on the keyboard.

Then on the page of the codeword software, type out the last three words of "Ordinary and Great",

"(End of book)"

The whole "Ordinary and Great" ends here.

Ji Zhuo's whole body is relaxing,
Then I started to feel back pain and fatigue.

Stretching his stiff shoulders and back, Ji Zhuo glanced at the word count in the lower left corner of the screen.

The whole book "The Ordinary and the Great" translated into Chinese has a content of nearly 30 words.

Ordinary chapters are longer, and great chapters are shorter.

It also took Ji Zhuo almost twenty days to finish writing.

This is still in the next few days, Ji Zhuo extended the day's coding time a little bit,
At this moment, looking at the entire book "The Ordinary and the Great" that has been written, Ji Zhuo is quite satisfied.

I am such a hardworking and good writer.

While touching the mouse again, Ji Zhuo roughly flipped through the next great chapter from the beginning,

By the way, correct the typo and check if there is any problem.

After spending another half an hour, Ji Zhuo briefly read the entire great chapter,
Directly export the "great" chapter and send it to the editor-in-chief of Ayer Press,
Just click on the computer, touch and put the phone next to it, and get up.

He just wants to quickly find a noodle restaurant to fill his hungry stomach.
Then find a traditional Chinese medicine orthopedic massage shop to give him a pinch for his stiff and sore back.

……

"...Penny! Petunia!"

It's still afternoon in Baiqiguo.

Al was watching some effects and influences of the publisher's publicity drafts on the Internet in the office,

Then I saw Mr. I sent him a message, click on it,
I saw that Mr. I sent the "Great" chapter of "The Ordinary and the Great".

Immediately Al became excited, his face flushed and he stood up,

Shouting to Penny outside the office,

Would like to read the second half of the work with his wife and assistant.

"what happened?"

"Great chapter, Mr. I sent the great chapter!"

"really?"

Penny's eyes lit up, and she hurried over from the office door,

"Then quickly open it and take a look? I really can't wait to read the following content!"

"Haha, me too."

Al laughed excitedly, then turned around,
The two sat down in front of the computer,
Al picked up the mouse, downloaded the manuscript of the great chapter sent by Mr. I, and opened it.

These days, Al is a little anxious.

Not only as a loyal reader who wants to see the content behind the favorite works,
I am also anxious to publish "Ordinary and Great" as soon as possible.

Although it adopted a slanted publicity strategy, it brought a lot of heat or infamy to "The Ordinary and the Great".

But the unfriendly heat brought about by this kind of exaggerated publicity may not last long.

In addition, in the field of publishing, ABC, dog authors and their works, which have recently occupied the most popularity in the field of fiction literature,
The publishers who published the works of these two writers did not sit idle, allowing Ayer Press to use this method to seize the heat that originally belonged to the works of their publishers.

Even if the news that the two writers have not released a new book,
But even if these two publishing houses with huge resources normally use their resources to publicize the enthusiasm brought about by the published "Empire Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand",

It has already made the publicity of "The Ordinary and the Great" uncomfortable by Ayer Press, and seriously backlogged the living space of "The Ordinary and the Great".

In addition,

Although Al has enough confidence in "The Ordinary and the Great",
But if he could, he still didn't want to bump into the new books of those two authors under such circumstances.

So it is better that "The Ordinary and the Great" can be published earlier.

"call……"

The content of the 'great' chapter has been opened,

Al took a long breath, getting rid of his distracting thoughts,
Then I turned my attention to the content of the 'great' chapter displayed on the computer screen,
quickly,

Following the description of the author's sentence, Al and Penny seem to be pulled into the world of the book and immersed in it.

In the office, it was quiet again.

(End of this chapter)
