I am a nobleman in England
Chapter 376 There is absolutely nothing wrong with this routine!
I have to say that to build a super bestseller is to build a money printing machine!
For a long time, best-selling, frequently-selling, and slow-selling have all described the sales status of a book.
If you take time as the axis, then an editor most hopes that a book can have such a sales status-first a bestseller, then a frequently-selling book, and finally a slow-selling book in a short period of time, and it will be taken off the shelf and returned to the library.
The best-selling period of a novel is usually a few months after the book is on the market. At this stage, publishers will invest a lot of marketing resources and offline activities to increase book sales.The higher the sales volume, the higher the sales volume of the book during the regular sales period, and the longer the regular sales, the better.
If it is analogous to the profit model of ordinary goods, the best-selling period of books, from the early signing of well-known authors with high royalties and high print numbers, to spending money on marketing to drive book sales, are all high-cost investments.
After readers' attention to the book is mobilized by the rankings and the media, then rely on the regular sales period of the book to make money. After all, there were neither editing costs nor marketing costs at that time, just reprinting.
This is why Langdon Press dared to spend money to sign Arthur, an online writer who dare not even reveal his true identity. "The Fifty Shades of Gray" already has a huge fan base and influence on the Internet. , As long as the book sales are very high during the best-selling period of the book, and then make money through reprinting.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this routine!
The reason why Arthur is urged to rush the manuscript and publish the second volume is because the new book is more and more likely to reach the peak of sales!And new books can also drive sales of used books...
Although "The Fifty Shadows of Gray" has become a target of ridicule and contempt for the literary world and many people, criticism and criticism have not been interrupted since the book was put on the shelves. The low-end, shoddy, and rubbish voices are endless. Therefore, the result is Arthur could only look at the 8-digit number on the check and burst into tears, not to mention his true identity...
It's really hard to write a novel and make some money!
Time always flies quickly in the busy, until the mobile phone text message on the desk sounded, Arthur broke away from the various documents, stretched out his hand to cover his neck, moved around a few times, first took a coffee cup to drink After taking two sips of coffee, he slumped back on the boss chair and read the text message with his mobile phone.
"I'm ready, little villain, you can come and pick me up..."
"Haha." Seeing Zhilin's text message, Arthur couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. She was indeed a daring heartthrob with a sense of sex. She really knew how to put it unscrupulously in front of a man.
To be honest, Arthur is not disgusted with the little aimei methods of sister Zhilin. After all, this society is so cruel and realistic. Especially for female stars, the natural capital is precious, and the acquired capital is hard-won. .
The so-called capital is nothing more than the beautiful shaping of oneself, such as cosmetic surgery, beauty makeup, body shaping and repairing and other external elements. Only in this way can they continuously accumulate and superimpose, and then can obtain the social currency in the circle, thereby raising oneself. The value and status of.
Sister Zhilin has both Liao capital, and this has become her ability, so why bother to think of her ability as ugly?
"Fly over!" Arthur smiled and typed a series of letters quickly, then left the boss chair, walked to the cloak mirror, and sorted out his shirt, tie and suit.
If you say fly over, fly over!
Wearing a windbreaker, Arthur stepped off the helicopter. The clothes were hunting and hunting in the cold wind. After receiving a message from Arthur, he had been in the building not far from the roof apron and looked at his sister Zhilin through the glass. Ye opened the door and walked out.
I have to say that for beauty is enough, even in such a cold winter, sister Zhilin still wears cooler, wearing a gray woolen cloak-like coat, matched with a black dress with a tight V-neck, a silver glittering Glitter Silkstockings, stepping on a pair of five-point heel high heels, made Arthur admire directly. The long hair was meticulously gathered and tied into a high ponytail, showing the beauty of the facial features. The whole look looks very stylish and generous. , Showing a different kind of heroic spirit.
The V-neck dress on the inside better shows the elegance of Zhilin's sister.The design of the collar kou is matched with the clever patterns, and her graceful figure is more perfect!
As Arthur approached slowly, what she still saw from her face was a sweet smile, with a delicate makeup that made her look bright.Especially the eye makeup is even more exquisite. Her big fluttering eyes not only look energetic, but the eye shadow color and makeup she chooses and even the clothes are very good, making her look gentle and pleasant.
The movements of her waving hand are so soothing and light, her soft eyes staring at Arthur without rush and panic, and looking at him, the gentleness in her eyes really makes flowers bloom and everything grows, and her face is smiling. yao is like a willow, gently holding Arthur's arm on one side, the black beauty contact lens and Arthur are looking at each other, and he smiles and said: "You really came here!"
At this time, Arthur looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and couldn't help but feel that there is such a thing in the world, so why is it really worth it!
"Haha, let's go, I'll take you to fly!" Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled playfully.
"Oh... OK, but you have to protect my safety!" Sister Zhilin took Arthur's arm very naturally and walked to the helicopter together.
Sitting in the warm helicopter cabin, sister Zhilin blinked curiously and looked at Arthur with her beautiful eyes and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
"Hehe, let's have afternoon tea at the Goring Hotel. The afternoon tea room there has lasted for a whole century and has always maintained the highest level. Since I am a guest in the UK, I, the host, will naturally entertain you with the most classic afternoon tea. Arthur didn't notice anything, and gently put on a headset for sister Zhilin.
"Thank you." Sister Zhilin's face blushed and thanked, but her beautiful eyes kept staring at Arthur, as if neither of them wanted to look away.
The two looked at each other all the way, and came to the Goring Hotel, which has been passed down for four generations. The tea room is located in a gilded room with a fire on the wall, the iconic lion and unicorn. The pattern is inlaid on the fireplace, classical and mysterious.
"...That's not...?"
When Arthur walked into the tea room with sister Zhilin's slender waist and found her place, sister Zhilin had a pair of apricot eyes wide open, and she sat on the chair that Arthur had helped her remove and looked up. To Arthur, asked weakly.
"Well, it's really Blair, it's nothing. This is originally the favorite afternoon tea hotel for Zheng and Wang's room members, so don't be too surprised if you see anyone here." Arthur smiled and patted softly. She patted sister Zhilin on the shoulder, then went to the other side and sat down.
"This is really... It's amazing." Sister Zhilin showed a slightly exaggerated expression on her face, with a pair of big round eyes, some guilty peeking in the direction of the other side, and then mischievous. Chong Arthur blinked his long eyelashes, full of girlish hearts.
The little excitement and the little excitement soon disappeared as Jing's delicious afternoon tea was placed in front of him. To be honest, after a busy afternoon, sister Zhilin was really a little hungry, but in order to keep in shape, she was treated to food. She was still restrained, but looking at the delicate pastries in front of her, she decided to temporarily give up her restraint.
"...Are you going to keep watching me eat like this?" After tasting a few delicious pastries, sister Zhilin noticed that Arthur, who was opposite, was holding a red tea cup, staring at herself while drinking, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit. With a guilty conscience and coquettishly glared at Arthur, and asked in a low voice.
"Some people think that beautiful people are like delicacies, and delicacy is like yan. It is the most interesting to see beautiful women eating. Generally speaking, people's food looks are not very good, except for beautiful women. No matter how they chi or what they make, they feel cute. Fine jiao The most beautiful, even if it is gobbled up, it feels terribly xing!
Moreover, in my opinion, most people who love to eat and enjoy food are cheerful, and they will not increase your troubles. Whether in terms of money or emotion, they are worthy of socializing."
