Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Counterattack from the Literary Circle Please recommend-=-Big guys, kneel down

During this period, Tian Tian's phone calls were off the hook, and the distributors below were all rushing to get the goods.

The book Long Tribe was planned and published by her.

Publishing a book is actually very troublesome. It requires not only proofreading, cover design, promotion, and publicity. Fortunately, she persevered in all these.

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

The Long Tribe has 200,000 words, more than 300 pages, and is priced at 15 yuan. This price is not cheap. Most new books by well-known writers on the market are now priced at 12 yuan. For example, Yu Qiu's "Long Frost River" is priced at only 15 yuan.

.

Taking into account the small market audience, Tian Tian set the price to fifteen. He could only say that Shenghai's students were too rich.

Tian Tian reported the situation to the president of the publishing house. The president of the publishing house read the sales report and said: "Xiaotian, this book is in great form. You must keep an eye on the printing house and pirated copies."

"President, how many more copies should 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. So, you first ask the printing house to print an additional 100,000 copies, and it must be fast."

"It's the president."

The president looked at Tian Tian's dark circles and spoke earnestly: "Xiaotian, you did a great job this time. The club needs young people like you who dare to think and do things, but you must also pay attention to rest and don't tire your body."

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

The little girl took a shot of chicken blood and called Hu Weishi after she came down: "Teacher Hu, have you contacted Nanjiang? The Long clan is popular. I asked him if he has time to come to Shenghai to hold a book signing."

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

Tian Tian put down the phone and rubbed her temples. She always felt that Hu Weishi, a woman, had become more and more corrupt recently.

As the Long people distribute goods to various provinces and cities, good news comes frequently.

The first batch of 20,000 copies was sold out in six days.

The second batch of 100,000 copies was also put on the market one after another within a week, and was sold out within six weeks.

This summer, the Long Clan has become completely popular. There are Caesar and Lu Mingfei on every campus. Students and teachers are competing for wits and courage. The teacher's office has become a Long Clan warehouse.

Tian Tian asked the printing house to continue printing another 50,000 copies.

The sales of Longzu were booming, but at this time, there was no publishing house to do anything. Piracy was really rampant.

At the entrance of the school bookstore, a pirate dealer carrying a schoolbag saw the students entering the bookstore and stopped him in advance: "If you want a long version, it's newly printed for only five yuan."

The students looked at it and found that although the material of the book was completely inferior, the content was the same.

Get a copy now.

However, thanks to the piracy trend, Nan Jiang, the author of the Long tribe, has become famous among teenagers. There are rumors. Some people say that he is a high school student, and that the Long tribe wrote it casually when he was bored during the summer vacation. Some people say that he is actually King Bai, and this book is his own.

autobiography.

There is endless news about the Long tribe in major online forums. The Student Union and the Lion Heart Club became the most powerful mysterious organizations on the Internet in 1999.

The Long tribe has swept the book market, with mixed reactions from various quarters.

As early as mid-June, some traditional writers attacked the Long tribe and badmouthed the literary world. They said that the sales of books like the Long tribe exceeded those of Mo Yan, Wang Shuo and Su Tong, which was a shame to the literary world and a shame to society. They called for the Long tribe to be banned.

So as not to spoil the literary taste of young people.

This critical article was published on the homepage of Furong, a large-scale literary journal sponsored by Hunan Literature and Art Publishing House. It caused a stir, and was subsequently published in many newspapers to criticize it.

As the sales of Long Clan increased, the criticism became more fierce. In mid-July, the famous writer Huang He published an article in "Youth Literature", in which he said: "Recently, my grandson read Long Clan and recommended it to me. I read it.

For a moment, I was extremely worried about how such a book could enter the eyes of young people..."

The article said that the Long people teach young people to fall in love prematurely and pursue famous brands, which is unsightly.

In the literary world in 1999, literature was still sacred, and the most popular books should be works with humanities and historical background, and the Long people were obviously not suitable.

Journals and newspapers are the domain of adults.

The Internet is the battlefield of teenagers.

Jin Yong Inn Forum, I don’t know when there was a post on the home page - "What do you think of the Long Clan's best-selling articles"? There were tens of thousands of replies after that.

Where Are You Now: "I was very excited to read such a novel in 1999. It has unconstrained fantasy, youthful youth and passion. To be honest, after reading this book, I thought of Monkey Sun, and I have been writing it these days.

, Fellow knights, please support me, this monkey..."

Jiang

, when are you coming out to meet?”

Linghu Charge: "Let me just say something simple. Recently, my grandson has seen the Long tribe...and the gangs are recruiting people, and they will not refuse anyone who comes."

Xiao Qiao Liu Shui Ye: "Yun Zhonghe has been imprisoned by Yun Zhonghe for many years upstairs. He is talking nonsense. The Long clan's writing is not bad. Besides, today's great bachelor, are you still accepting people from your nymphomaniac gang?"

Jin Yong Inn is an online forum for Li Fang. In recent years, it has attracted a large number of literary enthusiasts and selflessly produced many excellent works.

The other forum is directly under the banyan tree.

The front page asked whether Nan Jiang can be called a leader of youth literature. More than 10,000 people voted, and only 13% voted against it. Many youth literature writers Annie Baby, Guo Xiaosi, and Han Han posted posts saying that the best-selling product of the Long Tribe is youth.

The victory of literature is a powerful counterattack against old-school literature.

As the online BBS spread, offline newspapers also published this comment, calling Nan Jiang, the Long ethnic author, a youth literary leader.

At that time, there was a flood of criticism, a lot of criticism, and constant scoldings. The dispute between Jin Yong and Wang Shuo that had been heated for more than half a year was completely gone, and the instigator, Han Qiao, was not affected at all.

This guy doesn't read newspapers or buy magazines at all.

……………………

In early July, Shanghai Publishing House organized a commendation meeting internally to commend the protagonist Tian Tian.

In just two years after joining Shanghai Publishing House, he planned and published the book Long Clan, which sold 130,000 copies.

In 1999, the book market was far from being as good as later. Most of the books published were serious literature. Best-sellers include Yu Hua's "To Live" and "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood". The annual sales of these two books exceeded 100,000 copies. In addition, Jin Yong, Wang Shuo and Yu Qiuhua

The works are also on the list in previous years, but none of them exceed 200,000 copies. Longzu mainly targets students and teenagers, and it is already a big news of the year to be able to sell 130,000 copies.

The most important thing is that this book has no royalties or shares. The author Nan Jiang only has a royalties of 40,000 yuan, and the book code is more than 1.9 million yuan.

Shanghai Publishing House makes a lot of money.

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

President: "Xiaotian, I saw you right. The first time you came to the publishing house, I saw that you were a talent. Next, you should keep an eye on Nanjiang. If he writes a second part, we will

Want to know the news as soon as possible.”

Tian Tian felt the importance of the organization: "No problem, President, the budding Hu Weishi has a good relationship with Nan Jiang. I will make an appointment with her tomorrow."

"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 been a rookie in the club for two years and had become a hot newcomer in just a few months.

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