I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 375

"Xi Yuan, you don't know how lively the bookstore in front of the school is today."

"Fortunately, I asked the bookstore owner to reserve an English version of "The Shepherd Boy in Search of Immortals" for me in advance, otherwise I would have to wait for the bookstore to restock, or wait for the express delivery purchased online with those poor guys. "

Holding the brand-new English version of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" in his hand, the roommate said excitedly.

"The bookstore's "The Shepherd Boy's Search for Immortals" is already sold out? Didn't the bookstore owner buy any more?"

"Of course he bought a little more. He bought [-] volumes of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", but unfortunately, in our university alone, the number of readers of dog authors exceeds this number, and the residents of the residents obviously have a lot of dogs. The author's readers."

Xi Yuan asked casually, and the roommate spoke excitedly.

"Xi Yuan, would you like to take a look together? It is said that the translation of the English version of "The Shepherd Boy's Search for Immortals" was also edited by the author himself, and it must be the most in line with the original version!"

"No. I've seen the original."

"Then I'll see for myself."

After answering again, the roommate excitedly tore open the plastic cover of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals",

Like a pilgrimage, I first touched the cover of the novel excitedly, and then opened it solemnly,

Just read it.

Xi was not as excited as his roommate because he had read "The Shepherd Boy's Search for Immortals".

For him, if he wants to buy the English version or other language versions of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals", he only buys it for collection.

You can buy online later, or wait until the bookstore has enough stock before buying.

"Aren't you still excitedly promoting "Ordinary and Great" before? Why don't you ignore this book now?"

Xi Yuan looked at his roommate, joked and said casually.

"No, Xi Yuan, you can't say that about me."

Unexpectedly, my roommate turned her head solemnly and said to Xi Yuan,

"This is different... That is also a good work, and that work is no worse than the work of the dog author... Well, I want to finish reading "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" first."

"The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals by the author of the dog..."

At the beginning, the roommate still responded to what Xi Yuan said from time to time,
After that, I was immersed in the book, immersed in the world of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals",
Turn a deaf ear to the sounds around you.

Xi Yuan looked at his roommate again, then turned his head,

Looking at the "Ordinary and Great" in his hand, he temporarily put it aside,
Touched the phone.

On the Internet, it is also extremely lively at the moment.

A large number of readers of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" are discussing and carnivaling.

The discussion of "The Ordinary and the Great" is naturally basically invisible.

Most of the readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" are temporarily attracted to "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals".

It seems that in some specific places, you can still see the discussion of "The Ordinary and the Great",

For example, under the official account of Ayer Publishing House, there is not much movement outside of it.

Previously, I saw sporadic posts recommending "The Ordinary and the Great" on the Internet, but now I don't seem to see much of it.

I don't know if I was overwhelmed by the news of the overseas release of "The Shepherd Boy Looking for Immortals", or these readers are also busy reading "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" at the moment,
Can't care about anything else.

Maybe readers like Xi Yuan who have already read "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" can deliberately search the Internet for news about "The Ordinary and the Great".

I saw that under the official account of Ayer Publishing House, under the new publicity draft released today, the number of comments forwarded has dropped sharply compared to yesterday,

The previous post that reposted the lottery, the reposting volume also slowed down.

This I is a bit miserable.

The author "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is released overseas.

Two people, the reader base of the two books is simply incomparable.

The readers of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" can cover most of the readers of "The Ordinary and the Great".

This part of the readers is probably like his roommate at the moment, right?

I don't care about "The Ordinary and the Great" at all,
The newcomers replace the old ones, and the attention is all on "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals", which has just been released overseas.

Xi Yuan raised his head, glanced at the roommate in "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" and was still focused, his emotions fluctuating with the plot of the story from time to time.

"Oh...no, don't leave the old cow here!"

Uncomfortable, the roommate couldn't help shouting.

Xi Yuan glanced, then lowered his head, looked at the news on the Internet,

It's just that he's not much better,

Originally, he wanted to pay attention to the news of "The Ordinary and the Great",

Just looking at it and going astray,

I started to look at these overseas readers and read the comments after reading "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals",

Looking at it, he wanted to turn out "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" and read it again.

……

"call……"

The overseas version of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is officially released,
Let the editor-in-chief of Ayer Press double the pressure,

He knew that this was another difficulty in the release process of Mr. I's "The Ordinary and the Great".

If the previous sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" were accumulating little by little,

Now, just at once, this growth momentum was directly cut off and came to an abrupt end.

Al Press,

Outside the office, the editors, who were excited because of the increasing sales of works published by their own publishing house two days ago, are quiet now.

In the office, the editor-in-chief Al was standing in front of the computer. The seat was clearly behind him, but he was still reluctant to sit down.

Staring at the Internet, the readers of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" are now carnival, and correspondingly, the new publicity draft of Ayer Publishing House is deserted today,

Al's face was a little serious,

The release of the overseas version of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" has an undoubted impact on the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great".

With the accumulation of word-of-mouth among readers, the popularity of "The Ordinary and the Great" seems to be eating away at the popularity of other writers.

But now, "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is like a huge wave, hitting it all at once, making the heat accumulated by "The Ordinary and the Great" these days useless.

Al saw that there were several bloggers on the Internet who were actively recommending "The Ordinary and the Great" two days ago,

Today, I fell directly into the embrace of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals".

Did they not like "The Ordinary and the Great"?
It was just because of the release of "The Shepherd Boy's Search for Immortals" that it attracted their attention.

However, the problem is that even after reading "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals",
Can you turn your attention back to The Ordinary and the Great?
At that time, other news attracted the attention of readers,
I am afraid that "Ordinary and Great" will be left behind by these readers.

"call……"

Thinking of this, Al felt pressure doubled.

At the same time, the responsibility is heavy. In the final analysis, the publicity resources of Ayer Press are not enough.

Otherwise, with the quality of "The Ordinary and the Great", no matter what, it should be able to compete with "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" at this time!
"Al, don't be so nervous, isn't this something we have expected before?"

""The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is not released suddenly, and the release time has been announced before."

Penny next to her is much better than Al Shen, although she is also nervous, staring at the news on the computer screen from time to time,

"I know, it's just that "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Immortals" grabbed the popularity immediately, which is really unacceptable... No, maybe others didn't notice our "Ordinary and Great", and just passed the "Ordinary and Great" by the way. The heat took it away."

"Al, that's wrong. It didn't steal the popularity of "The Ordinary and the Great", it just overwhelmed the popularity of "The Ordinary and the Great". Readers who have read "The Ordinary and the Great" will not just because of reading "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Fairy" , I don't like "The Ordinary and the Great".

The current situation will only slow down the accumulation of popularity of "The Ordinary and the Great". Also not the slightest bit of heat.

Moreover, even if the popularity is temporarily preempted, the number of readers who have read "The Ordinary and the Great" will not decrease, and the word-of-mouth of readers will still accumulate slowly until it explodes completely. "

"Isn't this what we expected?"

Petunia persuaded and comforted Al.

Al took a long breath,

"Well, you're right, Penny, this just slows down the speed at which "The Ordinary and the Great" is seen by more people, it won't let it be completely buried."

"However, we can't do nothing and continue to promote Mr. I's "Ordinary and Great" on the Internet and offline channels. Even under such circumstances, it would be good to let one more reader see "Ordinary and Great"! "

"That dog author's "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Fairy" can steal away Mr. I's readers, and Mr. I's "Ordinary and Great" can also attract some readers from that dog author's readers!"

Al said firmly,
The seriousness on his face eased a lot.

Penny nodded and agreed.

……

"Alice...don't you also like this book? Help me repost this long review."

"Take my phone, log in to my social account, and repost it yourself. I have to concentrate on reading "The Shepherd Boy Looking for Immortals" first."

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that I would be able to snatch "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" by 'Dog Author'."

"...You are standing in front of the bookstore early in the morning, before the bookstore opens, how could you not be able to buy it?"

Tara looked across the table at Alice holding "The Shepherd Boy in Search of Immortals" and couldn't help complaining.

"But when I arrived at the bookstore, there were already a dozen people in front of me."

Alice responded without raising her head, she was still looking at the cover of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals",

Mesmerized.

"...Tara, do you know? This is a fairy tale written by the author of the dog. It is a fairy tale written for adults. It can remind people of childhood and make people cry."

Alice touched the cover of the book and kept talking.

Seeing Alice's obsession with the book, Tara rolled her eyes,

"I don't know who said a few days ago that the Internet is full of news about dog authors and ABC, which makes people bored when looking for books."

"That's different."

"Why is it different?"

"At that time, I hadn't bought this book. Now, I read the discussions on the Internet and found it very interesting. When I finish reading "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals", I will join in."

"..."

"What about "The Ordinary and the Great"? Don't you care about it? Don't you pay attention?"

"That's different..."

"What's the difference?"

"Haven't I already recommended this work before?"

"..."

"Okay, Tara, my dear sister, don't talk to me anymore, I'm going to concentrate on reading The Shepherd Boy in Search of the Fairy."

Alice spoke again.

Tara saw her lowering her head, holding "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", and was soon immersed in the story,
The previously excited expression gradually calmed down.

Tara looked at her friend again,

Then turned away.

Unlike Alice, she is not very interested in the works of big writers such as dog authors and ABC.

Although she didn't read the works of these two writers at all,
But just not interested.

On the contrary, I care more about I's work, "The Ordinary and the Great".

"Hey……"

The book I like, but no heat,

Tara felt a little uncomfortable.

Looking at the long tweet I wrote just now, recommending the work "Ordinary and Great",
Still sent this tweet out,
I also forwarded it with Alice's account.

At least do something, maybe it can make a difference.

Even the bastard Alice betrayed Mr. I's work,
Tara has an inexplicable sense of responsibility,

Perhaps at this time, I am the only one still promoting Mr. I's works!

This sense of responsibility forced Tara to act again.

"...Friend, do you know "The Ordinary and the Great"? Mr. I's work?"

She texted her friend,

Also posted messages under related topics on the Internet.

As a firm tap!Act with a sense of responsibility.

……

Ji Zhuo received another message from Editor-in-Chief Al,

It was already noon on the second day after "Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" was released.

Ji Zhuo, who got up early, has already finished today's code words.

Still sitting in front of the computer in the study, he touched the phone that was beeping a message.

Editor-in-Chief Al sent me the sales data of "The Ordinary and the Great", influenced by the first day of the overseas edition of "The Shepherd Boy in Search of the Fairy".

"al: Mr. I, yesterday's sales data has been compiled.

al: I'm sorry, because of the responsibility of Al Publishing House, the single-day sales of your work did not increase much yesterday.

al: Yesterday, the single-day sales volume of your work was more than [-] copies. "

Editor-in-Chief Ayer only mentioned the responsibility of the publishing house, and did not mention the influence of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals".

Looking at the data, Ji Zhuo paused, it basically met his expectations.

According to the trend that the single-day sales volume of the day before yesterday was about to exceed [-] copies, it turned out that it was not stuck at the [-] volume mark yesterday.
It has been proved that "The Ordinary and the Great" has been greatly influenced by the overseas release of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals".

And this impact must be delayed. The first day of release yesterday caused the sales growth of "The Ordinary and the Great" to stagnate.
Today, the single-day sales must not drop!
Ji Zhuo looked at the news from Editor-in-Chief Al, and was going to comfort Editor-in-Chief Al first,
After all, this is not the responsibility of the editor-in-chief of Al, it is his responsibility, his responsibility!

"Clumsy and uncommon: Is it because of the overseas edition of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals"? It has nothing to do with Ayer Press.

Clumsy and Uncommon: And it sold well yesterday, must have been an effort by Ayer Press.

Clumsy and uncommon: I must say responsibility, that is also my responsibility, and has nothing to do with Ayer Press.

Clumsy and Uncommon: Editor-in-Chief Al doesn't have to apologize for that. "

Ji Zhuo takes a responsibility, as if to stop the credit, highlighting a positive.

"al: Thank you Mr. I for your understanding, thank you.

al: Al Publishing is trying its best to do everything well!

al: You can rest assured that the slowdown in sales growth will only be temporary.With the increase of your reader base, no book or writer can cover up the brilliance of your works! "

Al was very moved by Mr. I's understanding.

Al did not mention the huge impact brought about by the overseas release of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Fairy" before,

Just didn't want to pass the buck, and in his view, it was just that Ayer Press wasn't doing well enough.

But it turned out that Mr. I knew all about it.

He knows it all!

Still say these words, comfort him, let him not have so much pressure.

Al was very moved.

And on the other side,
Looking at this reply from Al,

Ji Zhuo was not too moved, he raised his eyebrows.

I was in a complicated mood and didn't know what to say.

"al: The dense fog may block the sun for a while, but when the sun rises completely, it can only dissipate.

al: Mr. I, your work is like this. Maybe "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Immortals" can affect your work for a while, but not for a longer time!

al: The brilliance of "Ordinary and Great" cannot be covered up by a "Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals"! "

Al, who was a little excited, was still sending messages.

Ji Zhuo watched silently, then turned his gaze away from the phone,

to the computer screen in front of him,
On the computer screen, on the coding software,
The new book "Shadow Empire" under the name of ABC has also been finished!
Well, I don't need to cover it up for a longer time, I just cover it up for a while!
