I went viral when I attended my ex-girlfriend's wedding

Chapter 142: Castle in the Sky
There is no harm without comparison.

In the past, Gong Minghan lacked understanding.

just now.

He takes it for granted.

After the sales came out in the first week.

He didn't pay attention to the status of this work by Hanlin Publishing House at all, and he didn't even think about it. He was more concerned about Shi Rongliang's achievements.

The result was no different from what he expected.

There are only a little over 9 copies.

Such an achievement is indeed worthy of excitement for some humble small publishing houses.

Because there's only so much they can reach.

But for a publishing giant like its own Dingyan.

It's just so powerful.

He told Shi Rongliang the news.

Not only was the other party not in the slightest panic, but he smiled and advised him not to worry, saying that slow-moving works need a certain amount of time to ferment.

Gong Minghan sneered endlessly.

Still need time to ferment under the strong recommendation of your own publishing house?

Do not make jokes.

You don't even go down to have a look.

Books belonging to you are placed in the most conspicuous positions in major bookstores.

Take the best promotional resources among them and sell this sluggish performance.

It seems that there is no hope.

The words have ended.

He didn't want to explain anything to this kind of person.

It's nothing more than waiting another week for him to give up completely.

It's like a process like exerting force halfway.

Gong Minghan didn't even bother to think about it.

then.

When the sales statistics for the second week come out.

Gong Minghan only had sympathy for Shi Rongliang.

Fermentation is impossible to ferment.

The cut in half is indeed real.

A score of less than 5 volumes.

What else do I need to say?
What else can I say?
Gong Minghan shook his head contemptuously.

But out of curiosity, he also looked at the top sales in the second week.

Just a glance.

He was stunned.

I remember that the sales champion in the first week was won by one of the works of my rival Shengyi Publishing House.

Around 18 copies were sold at the time.

But what is the situation now?
No.1 was actually replaced by Hanlin Publishing House's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
Isn't this Shi Rongliang's old club?

And that's not a big deal.

Weekly sales of 25 copies?

Gong Minghan's eyes were a little stiff.

A small publishing house that was sniped by him won the sales champion in the second week?
Are you sure this isn't a joke?

Let's put it on the annual sci-fi blockbuster.

He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

I just poached a popular author from this publishing house, but they backhanded and released an even fiercer one, why is it so confident.

Gong Minghan hurriedly looked at the other party's name.

Unfortunately not real name.

Mr. Xizhou.

Ok.

Here's another monster that came out of nowhere.

Could it be another newcomer author?

Don't wait for him to study it clearly.

Then someone came to announce the meeting.

"Editor Gong, my condolences have changed. When the results are released in the second week, Editor-in-Chief Yang may lose his temper." An editor came over and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

"It's ok."

Gong Minghan didn't feel too much pressure at the moment, he had already been vaccinated with the editor-in-chief in advance, and the fire couldn't burn him.

Besides, Shi Rongliang didn't dig this person himself.

How much responsibility can I have as an editor.

"Hey, it's not just Shi Rongliang, but the other authors' grades are not that good. They're all fucking together. It's unlucky."

The man sighed and continued: "Let's go, stretching out your head is a knife, shrinking your head is also a knife."

Gong Minghan nodded, he could understand that one of the few authors with poor grades might be responsible for it.

conference room.

Wait for everyone to arrive.

The editor-in-chief Shuguang tapped his finger on the data sheet in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Old Qian, find a way to get in touch with this 'Mr. Xizhou' and dig it up for this author. If Hanlin Publishing House can give it to him, we can too. Hanlin Publishing House will give it to him." If we can’t get him, we can still give him a higher salary, so we’re not afraid.”

"no problem."

Deputy editor-in-chief Qian Xinghe nodded, then sighed and said, "Then Shi Rongliang is here."

"Let him compress the plot, and try to finish it within two volumes. If he disagrees, remove the promotional resources and let other more qualified works be published." Yang Shuguang thought for a while and said expressionlessly.

It's not necessary to just cut it off.

Unfinished business has a bad impact on the publishing house.

The first volume of "Commoner Heroes" was first printed with 80 copies.

At first I thought it wasn't enough to sell.

Losses are now a foregone conclusion.

However, Qian Xinghe also discussed it with himself when he dug this person.

Now that something goes wrong, the editor-in-chief himself is actually responsible.

Look away.

Not a big deal.

His publishing house can afford it too.

The top priority is to reduce unnecessary losses.

"I think so too."

Qian Xinghe nodded, then looked at Gong Minghan and said, "Let's go back and inform him as soon as possible. Also, if he wants to continue to publish works in Dingyan Publishing House, the salary will be reduced for the time being. The standard is given, and the follow-up results will be improved."

"I see, deputy editor."

Gong Minghan nodded.

At the same time, I was shocked by the determination of the two editors.

Authors who have lost their value can throw them away immediately.

Not even the slightest hesitation.

But this can not blame others.

Who made Shi Rongliang fail to grasp the opportunity?

It has produced a popular work in itself.

Comes with popularity.

Now the stage for you is bigger.

The results of it?
fluttered.

He slammed hard.

"Also, the grades of several other authors have also declined slightly. I won't say much about this. Those of you who are in charge will go back and communicate on your own, and then analyze what the problem is. Don't just publish your work every day. You have the same thing." Yang Shuguang said loudly.

He finished speaking.

The heads of several editors present were lowered at that time.

It stands to reason how the grades of the book are.

In fact, it all depends on how the author intends to write.

The editor's job is nothing more than reviewing it.

But during the review, if you encounter some problems, you can communicate with the authors. After all, they are not only editors, but also readers.

Can it work?

No one is a robot.

Responsible for so many works.

There are bound to be times when you are lazy.

Now found out.

Naturally, I can't continue doing this when I look back.

"Now let's talk about the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". If any of you have read it, please share your opinion." Yang Shuguang asked.

Everyone immediately looked at each other.

They really haven't seen it.

After all, this novel is a sudden breakthrough.

The results of the second week have just come out.

If it weren't for the blessing of the sales crown.

Who pays attention to the work of a small publishing house.

"You haven't read it, have you? Then read this "Legend of the Condor Heroes" with the authors under your hand, and see if you can follow suit in the future."

Looking at everyone's reaction, Yang Shuguang knew it well.

The editors nodded for a while.

The performance of this book is so exaggerated now.

Clearly there is merit.

follow suit!

You must follow suit!
After the meeting.

Gong Minghan called Shi Rongliang directly, and he didn't expect that the other party was still thinking about sleeping.

"Hey, editor Gong, is it good news for me when the grades come out?" Shi Rongliang yawned and asked with a smile.

Announcement?

It's really not.

Pretty much the opposite.

Gong Minghan said slowly: "The sales volume of "Commoner Heroes" in the second week is out, less than 5 copies."

"Less than 50 copies? So many?" Shi Rongliang was pleasantly surprised.

"It's less than 5 volumes, and this novel will eventually be compressed into two volumes. I hope Mr. Shi can give you a good idea."

What are you thinking?

Less than 50 copies?

It takes ten of you to add up.

Gong Minghan said.

There was no acquaintance between the two of them when they first came into contact.

Distant.

"what?"

Shi Rongliang was no longer sleepy.

Suddenly the voice raised eighteen degrees.

"There is also the issue of the remuneration for the next book, and I need to talk to you too." Gong Minghan truthfully told the other party what the deputy editor told him.

"You can't treat me like this, you took the initiative to dig me here!" Shi Rongliang shouted ferociously after hearing a rough idea.

"Mr. Shi, there is a prerequisite for enjoying a high standard of treatment." Gong Minghan had to remind the other party.

"What do you mean?" Shi Rongliang gritted his teeth.

"That means you have to sell your book, and you are willing to have readers pay for it." Gong Minghan said lightly.

"You mean no one wants to read my book?" Shi Rongliang was angry.

"Mr. Shi, please calm down, this is not what I mean, but the fact." Gong Minghan explained.

"Okay, I want to see if no one is willing to buy it, don't regret it."

After all, Shi Rongliang hung up the phone regardless of whether the other party had anything to say.

Being so stimulated by the other party, he couldn't even stay in a daze now, let alone sleep.

In order to verify whether what the other party said is true.

After leaving the hotel, Shi Rongliang quickly found a bookstore nearby.

far away.

I saw a long queue at the door.

see.

He couldn't help but look happy.

Could it be that his own book started to explode?

Shi Rongliang's hanging heart somewhat relaxed again.

Hello Dingyan Publishing House.

It's really a dog's eyes to look down on people.

This time, I will slap you hard with my grades.

"Boss, hurry up, it's freezing to death outside." Outside the bookstore, a customer couldn't help complaining.

"Brother, is this "Commoner Heroes" so good? I saw such a long queue?" Shi Rongliang came over and found that he couldn't squeeze in at all, so he simply asked the man with a smile.

""Commoner Hero"? Dude, what are you talking about?" The man looked at him suspiciously.

"Didn't you line up to buy the book "Commoner Heroes"?" This time it was Shi Rongliang's turn to be stunned, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"What is "Commoner Heroes", what is that, we are here to buy "Legend of the Condor Heroes"." The man smiled and said.

"what?"

Shi Rongliang's complexion changed drastically: "The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"

The works of Hanlin Publishing House?

"Are you okay, buddy." The man made his expression startled.

"What are you reading about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", do you really understand novels? "Commoner Heroes" is a masterpiece of martial arts." Shi Rongliang said angrily.

"Fuck, you're crazy."

The man was speechless: "What kind of shit "Commoner Heroes", I've never heard of it."

"What did you say?"

Shi Rongliang looked at each other with red eyes.

Compared with his own works hit the street.

What he can't accept now is the resurgence of Hanlin Publishing House.

It was worse than killing him.

"Don't say anything, just be happy."

The man looked at him, and he didn't want to entangle too much with a person with mental problems, so he had no choice but to let him talk.

"Asshole, you dare to look down on me even him."

Shi Rongliang was furious when he heard this.

He went up and punched the man.

The shattering of the castle in the air has caused him to lose his basic sanity
"Beat someone, beat someone, call the police."
