I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 359
"...'Dog Author's work "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" will be officially published in various languages ​​on Saturday, and online pre-orders have already started!"

""The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Fairy", another masterpiece of the 'dog author' is about to come to its loyal readers in Europe."

"Derwin Publishing House announced that the various language versions of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Fairy" are fully stocked, and the English version, Baiqi Mandarin version, Russian and German versions will be launched globally simultaneously."

This is the first day of the release of "The Ordinary and the Great", news from Europe and the Internet.But I can't see the name of "The Ordinary and the Great".

Today is the first day of the release of "The Ordinary and the Great", but the popularity on the Internet is completely squeezed by "The Shepherd Boy in Search of the Immortals", which is not as good as before.

All that can be seen on the screen is the news of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals".

And under these news,
Few people mentioned the work "The Ordinary and the Great", which basically revolved around the "ABC" discussion of the dog author's new book and the dog author's friends and opponents.

From time to time, they discussed a few words with each other enthusiastically.

"Oh oh oh! I've been waiting for so long, is it finally coming? It's already pre-ordered. If the bookstore in front of me gets the stock faster, I will go downstairs and buy another copy on the day it's released."

"I declare that today is my lucky day. What did I see! The work of the author of the dog is about to be released!"

"I probably know a little about the content of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Fairy".

"Hey... What about ABC's new book, and ABC's readers? Why is there a sudden silence."

"?? Is this a new book by the dog author? What about the dog author's new book?"

"Oh... at least the author of the dog has some works that I haven't seen before."

"That's because you haven't read all the works of the dog author yourself, but I, I have read every work of ABC carefully."

"That's really incomparable. After all, there are only two ABC works."

"My friends, "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Fairy"! "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Fairy" is about to be released! I'm already looking forward to this Saturday. After I get the book, I will spend a whole day at home reading it!"

On the Internet, readers from both sides exchanged strange words from time to time, and the heated discussions were endless.

But most of ABC's readers are also quite happy.

After all, if you want to find out where the author of the dog is not as good as ABC, you have to look at the works of the author of the dog.

They also read books by dog ​​authors.

Um!It's all about criticism.

Therefore, many readers with obvious nicknames of ABC readers have also published some news about the works of the author who is looking forward to the dog.

……

Today is the first day of the release of "The Ordinary and the Great", Ji Zhuo got up a little earlier and finished typing the words early.

It was almost noon, Ji Zhuo came out from the study.

While holding his mobile phone, he looked at the news on the Internet.

Just looking at these news, Ji Zhuo couldn't help showing some smiles on his face,
Based on the heated discussions about "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" on the Internet, Ji Zhuo knew that the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" on the first day were probably cold or stable.

Steady!

Ji Zhuo had a smile on his face,
A few more pages down,

Finally, I simply searched for "The Ordinary and the Great",
Finally, I found the news about the first day of the release of "The Ordinary and the Great".

"'Great Work,' The Ordinary and the Great is out today."

This is the most popular item in today's "Ordinary and Great" related news.

'Great work' in news headlines in quotes.

Clicking in, the content of the news is probably a bit yin and yang, which is probably the exaggerated promotion of the book by Ayer Press before making complaints about it.

It was an online media that posted the news.
Probably confiscated the money from Ayer Publishing House, just to catch the heat.

It's just a pity, probably the judgment was wrong.

Ji Zhuo slid down to the comment section under the news.

Under this most popular related news, there are only a dozen comments at the moment,
Among them, there are only a few comments that are really related to news.

"It's on sale? Is there really such a book? I thought it was some people's performance art."

"I agree with the above, they always like to do this, maybe they want this kind of exaggerated publicity to make us follow this great work, and then expose our flattery, but unfortunately they don't even have the money to hire a celebrity I am willing to spend... but I never thought that such a book really exists."

"Is this publishing house crazy? Why do you want to promote it like this, why do you want to publish this book at this time, can't you see the popularity of ABC and dog authors at the moment?"

"Is it really published? I have seen the publications of Ayer Press before. I thought it was a down-to-earth publishing house. Now I am disappointed."

I didn't see any real expectations or good comments on "The Ordinary and the Great".

Ji Zhuo looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

These comments, and the current situation, are basically in line with Ji Zhuo's expectations.

I don't know what's going on behind the scenes,
Anyway, today's first-day sales must be stable.

It's fixed!

Even if the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu come, today's first-day sales will definitely not be high!
Ji Zhuo nodded again,
By the way, I glanced at the news on domestic social platforms again,

There is also a lot of news about the upcoming release of the overseas version of the dog author "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals".

As for "The Ordinary and the Great"?It is impossible to have news on the domestic network.

The previous exaggerated publicity of Ayer Publishing House did not affect the country.

Just kidding, who knows the book "Ordinary and Great".

Never heard of the name.

After looking around,
Because Ji Zhuo got up early, he couldn't help but yawned again.
After walking out of the study, looking at the mobile phone, he stood unconsciously in the living room for a while,

At this moment, Ji Zhuo slumped on the sofa again while holding the phone,
Don't care about the news on the Internet anymore.

Opened Feimo Novel, found a novel, read it,
He yawned from time to time, feeling a little drowsy, with sleepy eyes.

……

White flag country.

Al Press.

Today is the first day of the release of "The Ordinary and the Great".

In the early morning, Al and Penny arrived at the publishing house early.

Right now, in the office.

Both Al and Petunia looked at the relevant news about the release of "The Ordinary and the Great" that they searched on the Internet today.

Penny is still calm,

Al couldn't help clenching his fists, even though he had expected the bleak popularity and poor response on the Internet,
At this moment, Al still couldn't help the heaviness and tension in his heart.

"...It's okay, everything is still within expectations. Our previous publicity was just to let readers know that there is a book called "The Ordinary and the Great", and it will take time for word of mouth to reverse.

These people have never watched "The Ordinary and the Great", so it is naturally impossible to give any good comments at this time. "

Petunia looked at Al's appearance, put her hand on Al's arm, and comforted him softly.

"I'm just worried that in the short term, the word-of-mouth of "The Ordinary and the Great" will not reverse, which will affect the sales of Mr. I's works. Mr. I trusts us so much, and I don't want to live up to this trust."

Al is under a lot of pressure, especially as a loyal reader of the book "The Ordinary and the Great", he is even less willing to delay the book in his hands.

"Don't you have faith in The Ordinary and the Great? I thought you did. At least I do."

"Naturally, I have confidence... I'm just worried that we haven't done well enough and delayed "Ordinary and Great". It's not that I don't have confidence in "Ordinary and Great", I just don't have confidence in ourselves."

Al replied aloud, his eyes still fixed on the relevant news on the Internet.

Petunia paused, and put her other hand on the back of Al's,

"Be confident. Mr. I is willing to believe in us, and we have done everything we can, so we should be more confident."

"Um……"

Al just responded, still nervously following the relevant news on the Internet at this moment.

"...Is the sales of each channel also feedback?"

"It's not long since the opening of the various bookstores, and there may not be readers who have seen "The Ordinary and the Great" from the bookshelves. There is no news feedback from various channels, so let's wait."

"Ah."

Listen to Penny.

Al turned his head again and looked at the other side of the desk.

There is a printed copy of "The Ordinary and the Great".

"call……"

Al watched "The Ordinary and the Great" and gained more confidence.

There is no reason for such a good work to be buried like this.

With a long breath, Al's eyes became firmer.

Now, "Ordinary and Great" has been officially released.

All you can do now is wait.

Waiting for the feedback of sales data from various channels, waiting for the word-of-mouth reversal of "The Ordinary and the Great".

At that time, the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" naturally rose with the wind!

Al clenched his fists.

……

An ordinary writer from the White Flag country, Ochino put on his clothes, put on his shoes and left the house.

He got up early this morning.

He remembered very clearly that today was the day when "The Ordinary and the Great" was officially released.

He wanted to see what kind of book the poor hapless bastard was writing.

oh!Didn't anyone at Ayer Press tell him?Recently, the new book of the two authors will be released soon.

Two days ago, when he saw that Delwin Publishing said that the overseas version of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" would be released on Saturday,
He knew it.

I saw it today, and sure enough, that poor guy, the new book has been promoted for so long, but right now there is no popularity on the Internet at all.

Hey...it's really cool and unlucky.

But it doesn't matter, Ochino is still curious.

He was curious about how well this book was written, so that Ayer Publishing House was willing to spend so much money to promote this book.

Thinking about his previous books, Ayer Publishing House did not give him much publicity, but only sent a few drafts,

It doesn't seem like it is so caring now.

That's right, ordinary writer Mr. Ochino is a little sour.

With this anticipation and curiosity,
Ochino arrived at a small bookstore.

The bookstore just opened.

On both sides of the entrance of the bookstore, there are posters of many works.

For example, I want the "dog author", the poster of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals",

Even at this moment, the overseas version of "Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" has not yet been officially released.

But this did not surprise Ochino,

To Ochino's surprise, there was actually a promotional poster of "The Ordinary and the Great" by the door.

Although only one was placed, Ochino couldn't help but stop.

On the poster, the picture is roughly divided into three scenes.

The scene above directly occupies half of the picture, and it is an excellent ancient church with its deep door open.

This scene goes down, and the remaining half of the picture is divided into two by the left and right again.
Half of it is barren farmland that seems to have been harvested, but a group of farmers are standing in the field empty-handed, as if they are looking up.

The other half is still a piece of farmland, full of greenery. It seems that the crop seedlings have just been planted, and some farmers are working in the field with their heads down.

It is roughly the poster of this picture.

What does this picture mean?
Ochino took a closer look, and could see that there were many details in these two pictures.

Well, it probably cost money.

Thinking and watching, Ochino couldn't help feeling a little sour.

He didn't have this treatment before, and these promotional materials are here.

"Hey……"

Thinking about it, Ochino sighed.

It's not surprising, after all, Ayer Press has spent so much money on publicity before,
There's no reason not to spend some money on publicity now.

Turning around, Ochino entered the bookstore.

……

"...Handsome guy, boss, sir... Is it true that you haven't bought "The Shepherd Boy Looking for Immortals" yet? Even "The Shepherd Boy Looking for Immortals" will be released on Saturday."

"If you have one, can you sell me a copy? If not, I can read it here."

"Sorry, "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is only released on Saturday."

After entering the bookstore, it is still there at the moment, and there are not many people in the bookstore among the bookshelves.

Ochino saw two young people in front of the cashier counter talking to the boss or waiter behind the cashier counter.

Hearing vaguely the name of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", Ochino walked away.

These two are readers of 'Dog Author'!
Although the publicity treatment of "The Ordinary and the Great" in the publishing house is somewhat sour,
But for those two writers, Ochino felt that he still had the same hatred as 'I' from the co-publishing company!

... Even if he himself reads the works of those two writers, he still likes them.

Those two people seem to be still communicating with the boss there, so that the boss will leave them two books when the time comes,
Ochino walked away and went to the nearby bookshelf, looking for "The Ordinary and the Great".

It's just that this bookstore is not small, with many bookshelves,

Ochino is not sure where "The Ordinary and the Great" is placed.

After finding a bookshelf, Ochino was ready to change his method.

For example, ask people.

"...Sir, may I ask, is there "Ordinary and Great" here? Which shelf is it on? I just saw its poster."

Ochino walked back to the cash register and asked the boss behind the cash register.

"Ordinary and great?"

The boss froze for a moment, then reacted,

"Oh, there is such a book, and it's only on sale today. Do you want to buy it? It's on the bookshelf here, in the section for serious and realistic works, the second row and the first shelf of the bookshelf."

"It's a very conspicuous location, you'll know where you go."

"Thank you."

Ochino thanked him, and then walked directly towards the bookshelf over there.

And one of the two young people who were in front of the cashier counter earlier,
Hearing the conversation between Ochino and the boss, he also froze for a moment.

"You still have "Ordinary and Great" here?"

Couldn't help but ask,
Another young man who came next to him looked back at his friend,
"You know this book? Whose new book is this?"

"Here, the poster is right there, the new book that was just released today, do you want a copy?"

The boss raised his head and gestured to the poster next to the door.

The young man turned his head to look, and responded to his friend's words with a smile,
"It's that 'Great Work'. Before it was released, it was touted so badly. I really want to see what kind of book it is."

"Look at this poster, it's not bad. It's on the bookshelf over there, right?"

"Yes, the first grid in the second row. There is also a trial copy there, you can buy it if you think it's good after reading it."

"Thank you, I'll go and have a look."

The two young men also walked to the bookshelf over there.

At this time, Ochino had already walked back from the bookshelf over there.

He was just holding a new plastic-covered book, as for reading it here?

He chose to buy it home.

Just think of it as supporting that unlucky poor guy.

It's not far from his home, and he plans to buy it and watch it at home.

"how much is it?"

"Ten euros."

"Ok."

After a pause, Ochino paid the money,
Then he took the book and left.

Before leaving, he looked back,
I also saw two people who were reminded by his words that they became interested in this "Ordinary and Great" were still flipping through the books in front of the bookshelf.

"If you don't put it down immediately, maybe it's not bad?"
