Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Counterattack from the literary world, please recommend-=-Big brothers, kneel down
During this time, Tian Tian's phone was ringing, and the distributors below were all rushing to deliver.

The Long Clan book was planned and released by her.

The publication of a book is actually very troublesome, not only proofreading, cover design, promotion, and publicity, but fortunately she persisted in all these.

She felt that the Long clan would be popular, but she didn't expect this book to be so popular.

The Long family has 20 words, more than 300 pages, and is priced at 15 yuan. This price is not cheap. Now most of the new books by well-known authors on the market are priced at 12 yuan.

Considering the small audience in the market, Tian Tian set the price to fifteen. She can only say that Sheng Hai's students are too rich.

Tian Tian reported the situation to the president of the publishing house, and the president of the publishing house looked at the sales report: "Xiao Tian, ​​this book is in a great format, you must keep an eye on the printing house and the pirated version."

"President, how many copies shall we print this time?"

"Shenghai is our base camp, and the market responds quickly. The current sales situation in other provinces and cities is unknown, but I have read this book, and it is indeed of good quality. In this way, you must first ask the printing factory to print [-] copies, and it must be fast."

"It's the president."

The president looked at Tian Tian's dark circles, and said earnestly: "Xiao Tian, ​​you did a good job this time. The club needs young people who dare to think and do things like you, but you should also pay attention to rest, so as not to wear out your body."

Tian Tian: "I'm fine, don't worry, President, I will definitely complete the task."

The little girl got bloody, and when she came down, she called Hu Weishi: "Mr. Hu, have you contacted Nanjiang? The Long clan is popular. Ask him if he has time to come to Shenghai for a signing."

Hu Weishi readily agreed, and this time she also made a lot of money: "No problem, Xiao Tiantian, I have a good relationship with him now,"

Tian Tian put down the phone, rubbed her temples, and felt that this woman, Hu Weishi, had become more and more rotten recently.

As the Long family distributes goods to various provinces and cities, good news comes frequently.

The first [-] copies were sold out in six days.

The second time, [-] copies, were released to the market one after another within a week, and sold out within six weeks.

In this summer, the Long Clan is completely popular. There are Kaiser and Lu Mingfei in every campus. Students and teachers are fighting wits and courage. The teacher's office has become a warehouse of the Long Clan.

Tian Tian asked the printing house to continue printing another [-] copies.

The sale of the Long family has opened up the situation, but at this time there is nothing to do with the publishing house, because piracy is too rampant.

At the entrance of the school bookstore, a pirate dealer with a schoolbag on his back saw the students entering the bookstore, and stopped them in advance: "If you want the Long family, the newly printed ones only cost five yuan."

The students looked at it, and although the quality of the book was poor, the content was the same.

Get a copy now.

However, taking advantage of the piracy, Nan Jiang, the author of the Long Clan, became famous among young people. Rumors abounded. Some said he was a high school student, and the Long Clan was bored during the summer vacation. Some said he was actually the White King, and this book was his own. autobiography.

In various forums on the Internet, news about the Long clan emerges endlessly. The Student Union and the Lionheart Club have become the most powerful mysterious organizations on the Internet in 1999.

The Long Clan sweeps the book market, with mixed reactions from all quarters.

As early as mid-June, there were traditional writers attacking the Long clan, bad-mouthing the literary world, saying that the sales of books like the Long clan surpassed those of Mo Yan, Wang Shuo, and Su Tong, which was a disgrace to the literary world, and even more so to the society. They called for the banning of the Long clan. So as not to spoil the taste of young people's literature.

This bombardment article was published on the front page of the large-scale literary journal "Fu Rong" sponsored by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House. One stone caused a thousand waves, and many newspapers followed up with criticism.

As the sales volume of the Long family is getting higher and higher, the criticism is more severe. In mid-July, the famous writer Huang He published an article in "Youth Literature", in which he said: "Recently, my grandson watched the Long family and recommended it to me. I read it. For a moment, I am extremely worried, how can such a book enter the vision of young people..."

It is said in the article that the Long family teaches young people to fall in love early and pursue famous brands, which is unsightly.

In the literary world in 1999, literature was still sacred, and the books that were sought after should be works with humanistic and historical background, and the Long family was obviously not suitable.

Periodicals and newspapers are the place of adults.

And the Internet is the place for teenagers.

On the Jinyong Inn forum, I don’t know when there was a post on the front page - "How to view the best-selling of the Long family", and there were tens of thousands of replies in the back.

Where is it now: "I'm very excited to read such a novel in 1999. It's a wild fantasy, a teenager's youthfulness and passion. To be honest, after reading this book, I thought of Sun Houzi. I have been writing it for the past few days. , all chivalrous friends, please support me, my monkey..."

Old thief Jiang x: "My friend recommended this book, and I have mixed feelings. This book makes me feel familiar. Whether it is writing or narrative, the pseudonym Nan Jiang is also nice. It would be even better if it was Jiang X Nan. Where is it now? , when will you come out and meet?"

Linghu submachine gun: "Let me just say something briefly, recently my grandson has been watching the Long family... and the bandit gang accepts people, and they will not refuse."

Xiao Qiao Liu Shui Ye: "Upstairs was imprisoned by Yun Zhonghe for many years, talking nonsense, the writing of the Long family is not bad, and now the university student, will you accept people from the nympho gang?"

Jinyong Inn is an offline forum of Lifang. In the past few years, it has mixed with a large number of literature lovers and selflessly produced many excellent works.

And another forum is directly under the banyan tree.

On the homepage, whether Nanjiang can be called the leader of youth literature, the number of votes exceeds 13.00, and only [-]% of the votes against it. Many youth literature writers Annie Baobao, Guo Xiaosi, and Han Han posted that the best-selling of the Long family is the victory of youth literature , is a powerful counterattack to old-school literature.

With the ferment of online BBS, offline newspapers also published this comment, calling the author of the Long nationality Nan Jiang a leader of youth literature.

For a while, the criticisms were raging, and the swearing and fighting continued. The dispute between Jin Yong and Wang Shuo, which had been raging for more than half a year, was completely gone, and Han Qiao, the instigator, was not affected at all.

This guy doesn't read newspapers at all, and he doesn't buy magazines.

........................

At the beginning of July, Shanghai Publishing House organized a commendation meeting internally to commend Tian Tian, ​​the protagonist of the meeting.

In just two years after joining Shanghai Publishing House, he planned the book Long Clan, which sold 13 copies.

In 1999, the book market was far from good. Most of the published books were serious literature. The best-sellers were Yu Hua's "To Live" and "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood". The annual sales of these two books exceeded 20 copies. Works are also on the list over the years, but none of them exceeds 13 copies. The Long family mainly focuses on students and teenagers, and it can sell [-] copies, which is already a big news for the year.

The most important thing is that this book has no royalties or share. The author Nanjiang only has 190 manuscript fees, and the book value is more than [-] million.

The Shanghai Publishing House made a lot of money.

After the meeting, the president of the publishing house met Tian Tian in private.

President: "Xiaotian, I really didn't misread you. The first time you came to the publishing house, I saw that you are a talent. Next, you should keep an eye on Nanjiang. If he writes the second part, we will Be the first to know the news."

Tian Tian felt the importance of the organization: "No problem, President, the budding Hu Weishi has a very good relationship with Nanjiang, I will ask her to meet tomorrow."

"it is good."

The president pulled out a certificate of honor from the drawer; "Xiaotian, this is the certificate of honor issued to you by the club in recognition of your great contribution to the club this time."

Tian Tian walked out of the president's office, feeling that everything was unreal. She had become a hot newcomer in just a few months after being a novice in the club for two years.

She pumped her fists: "Come on, Tiantian, you can do it, and you must win Nanjiang!"
