Yinlan Book Bank naturally does not have a player like He Mingxuan who specifically nests in the bookstore to mark people. After the works published by Supernova are distributed in various bookstores in Qinzhou, the only thing that can slightly reflect some market results is reader feedback.

It was just sporadic at first.

After all, reading also takes time.

For publishers, sporadic comments are not of much reference value, but as the first batch of readers continue to read the novel, the feedback of the five works of Supernova has gradually increased on the official website of Yinlan Library.

What worries publishers is...

The company’s first supernova, "The Devil of the Other World," seems to have a poor reputation. For a novel with a perfect score of 10, most readers have scored less than five points. It seems that everyone is not interested in the mode of this novel. .

"The routine of changing the soup without changing the medicine."

"The protagonist is so special that he has passed through to become a demon king, and it feels like a waste of wood. Since I use the perspective of the devil to create, can I not write the protagonist so waste? Is the protagonist not waste wood? Book?"

"I regret buying this book after reading it."

"Cut it in the middle, no interest."

Qinzhou novels are published in separate volumes, so the sales volume of the first volume is very important. Those novels that do not sell well are prone to be cut in half. The publisher will notify the author to finish writing as soon as possible. In the end, it will probably be compressed to three or five volumes by the author. After all, publishing companies have to free up resources for some more promising works.

Many readers are spraying.

Of course, not all of them are bad reviews. Some readers feel that the perspective of "Alien Demon" is very novel: "Although it is old wine in a new bottle, at least the identity of the protagonist is different from the traditional alien adventure model, and it will not be cut in half. ."

Maybe it will explode later?

This situation is not without precedent.

There is a very popular novel on the market right now. When it was first released, the word-of-mouth was very general, and the sales were not satisfactory. At that time, the publisher informed the author that it was cut. Who knew that after two volumes, the story of the book had a climax. The sales exploded, so that the plan to cut the waist was cancelled. The book is still serialized and has been published in volume 22.

But such examples are rare.

Because if the first volume of the novel can't attract readers at the beginning, it will be difficult for readers to survive until that time if you burst later. Only when readers are attracted at the beginning, can the novel continue to be serialized steadily.

Not only the first word of mouth is not good.

Supernova's works from second to fourth place have a very general reputation, and the second place score reached five points, but five points can only be considered as passing in the novel market, and it is not good at all.

"This year is difficult."

At the departmental meeting of Yinlan Library a week later, some editors looked at the comments of several novels and sighed: "I thought the sales of "Alien Demon" could explode, but as readers have seen more adventure novels As more and more people come, everyone's requirements are getting higher and higher."

"That's right."

"It's not that this year's supernova is not as good as before, but the readers' reading taste is getting better and better. No wonder the editors have always wanted to support new topics. Readers of old topics are tired of reading, and novels must provide new excitement. Come."

"..."

In the early TV dramas, there were always car accidents, cancers, abortions, and other brain-dead plots. The audience didn't still watch them with relish, but now that this kind of plot appears, the audience will point the director's nose directly.

The same is true in the field of fiction.

A few years ago, foreign adventure novels can be popular for any gimmick. For example, there is a novel called "Bring a Mobile Phone in Another World", which tells the protagonist with a magical mobile phone that can be used in another world, and pretends to slap his face all the way. From the current perspective, the story may be horrible, but readers still liked the novel at the time.

"Neither was annihilated."

Yang Feng tried to comfort everyone: "Although the novel "The King of Nets" is the last supernova, its reputation is still very good. Now it has a score of 8.5 points. This rating is very remarkable."

Yang Feng was right.

Although the reputation of the first four books of Supernova is not satisfactory, the current score of "Net King" is very high, and readers in the comment area are basically admiring.

"This is the best book!"

"Unexpectedly, competitive novels like tennis can be written so wonderfully. I picked it up in a bookstore and read it casually. Unexpectedly, I couldn't put it down as soon as I picked it up. I directly declared that I was in the pit of "Net King"."

"A clear stream of supernova!"

"I'm tired of watching alien adventures, and occasionally changing my tastes is unexpectedly good. I have recommended "Net King" to many friends, but many people are not interested. Like me before, they don't understand competitive novels at all. charm."

"..."

The editors naturally know that "The King of the Net" has a high rating, which can be said to be rave reviews, but for Yinlan Book Library, the reputation of this novel can only be regarded as a consolation prize, because the subject matter of this novel is too unpopular, and the sales volume is almost Impossible to burst.

"It's useless."

"The subject matter is too cold."

"Applause or not."

The editors are not too excited. Every publishing house will have some novels that are not popular. For such novels, the major publishing houses basically take the attitude of support. Even if the sales are not good, they will try their best to provide publishing resources. , Just like film companies need some literary films to put gold on their faces, but the company really needs to make money by selling novels.

"Don't be downcast."

The editor-in-chief is very dissatisfied with the status of the editors: "Just like yours, the sales have not yet come out, and word of mouth is not everything. Although some novels are not highly rated, the sales are still very good."

"Yes."

"Have the opportunity!"

"Word of mouth only."

There is hope in the editors’ eyes. Word of mouth does not mean everything. There are some books on the market that are not popular, and some books have a bad reputation, but their sales are steadily high. Many readers these days are arrogant and honest. Jiao, "Net King" belongs to the former in everyone's eyes, and the other supernova books may not be the latter!

This group of people is so foolish.

The deputy editor quietly curled his lips.

There are very few works that are popular but not popular, but not many works with bad reputation but good sales. In the general laws of the book market, most of the time, word of mouth and sales can still form a direct ratio...

"The meeting is over."

The editor waved his hand.

After the crowd dispersed, the editor-in-chief was suddenly worried, and the state of this picture was not as good as the editors just now: "It seems that this time the supernova is indeed messed up, unless there is a miracle."

"miracle?"

The deputy editor who did not leave also smiled bitterly: "Let's go to the statistics department together. The first week of sales of supernovas over there should have been counted. Let's see where the miracle is."

Editor-in-chief: "..."

The two came to the relevant department side by side. The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief looked at the female director of the statistics department at the same time: "Supernova's first week of sales should be counted now, right?"

"coming?"

The female director’s expression was a bit cold, and it seemed that these two guys were particularly unhappy. After saying a word, they turned around and worked on it: “I’ll look at the statistics on the table and ask me if I don’t understand.”

"Where did we offend her?"

The editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief looked at each other, and then took a look at the statistical table, which directly killed their last hope, because the highest-selling "Devil of the Other World" had only 180,000 copies.

This is a supernova!

In previous years, the works that could be published with the Supernova Awards did not sell more than 300,000 in the first week, and I was embarrassed to go out to greet people, but this year's five-book Supernova has the highest sales volume of less than 200,000 copies.

But at least one thing is true.

That is the top five ranked by supernovas, and the sales are perfectly in line with their respective names. The editor-in-chief is happy: "At least we have no mistakes in the sales rankings. Anyway, I think it is the reader's fault."

"Yep!"

The deputy editor nodded

The female supervisor who had left turned back and heard the conversation between the two of them. She immediately became furious and started to explode: "As far as the judgment of the two of you is correct? The phone number of my old lady was blown up, you know! The whole Qinzhou is urging me for the goods, and now as long as I answer the phone, the other side will say "Net King"! My head is going to explode if I urge you! You know how busy I am for shipping and supply these days Did you know that I haven't slept well for a few days!?"

"what?"

The two of them were stunned. They looked at the statistics table and confirmed: "The sales volume of "Net King" is the last supernova. Why might it be out of stock? Auntie, you seem to have eaten sparks. What must be wrong? ?"

"Wrong?"

The female supervisor looked at the two people in front of her with an idiotic look: "The "Net King" has a total of 100,000 copies in stock, and it was sold out on the third day after the publication of Supernova. May I ask who is the last one? One?"

The editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief were dumbfounded.

The female director gave a dangerous smile, her tone was strangely gentle: "Then please answer me which brainstorm made the decision to publish 100,000 copies of "Net King" in advance?"

"he!"

The editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief point to each other at the same time.
