Chapter 36 Who is the tyrant?
Who is Bachang?
Is this novel serialized?
Can you read tens of thousands of words in a month?
The snowflake-like letters were mailed to the editorial department of "Boys and Girls" in Chenyang, and the letters were asked by a teenager's "Woman with tears and complaints".
This should be the first group of book fans born in the 1990s who are troubled by the pursuit of the update.
Most of these letters, like snowflakes, are here to give their opinions.
These opinions are nothing more than the serialized content that is too short to read.
The first few chapters of the story of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" just describe the bizarre world of tomb robbers for readers. Before the protagonist's group could really get to the tomb, the story came to an abrupt end.
Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, although there are only a few short chapters, these two characters have penetrated into the hearts of readers. Readers can't wait to follow the protagonist's group to get from the tomb to dig treasures.
This is a bit like the author opened the door to a strange and bizarre world for readers, but they just took a glance and hurriedly closed it again.
When I think that I have to wait until next month to see the subsequent plot, the hearts of these readers are as if they are twitching their hearts, and I wish that time will pass faster.
"Lao Lin, what about the next issue of this book?"
During the break, I don’t know who is the first classmate to ask Lin Junyi this question.
Since he borrowed this book "Boys and Girls" last weekend, relying on everyone's word of mouth, this issue of magazine has been circulated in the hands of all students in the class like flowing.
Everyone has finished reading the magazine and it’s not over yet. Almost every student who comes to the magazine will ask, ‘What about the next issue?’
This is already the number of times Lin Junyi has replied.
"Monthly, wait for the fifteenth of next month..."
After hearing this sentence, you can see the disappointment on your classmates' faces with naked eyes, and life seems to have lost its goal in an instant.
In addition, there is a saying that people often ask is, ‘Who is Bachang?’
Lin Junyi himself didn't know either. Anyway, he wrote a letter back according to the address of the submission fans on the magazine's inner page yesterday.
There is a lot of content. In addition to expressing your love for "Boys and Girls", the more important thing is to urge updates!
Yes, that's right!
Just urge for updates!
Because I didn't know the author's address, I naturally had to send it to the editorial department of "Boys and Girls".
At this time, the editorial department of "Boys and Girls" is holding a plenary meeting.
On the first Friday after the last issue of magazine sales, the editorial department will organize a meeting of all staff. The content of the meeting includes the sales volume of magazines in the last issue, summary of issues, opinions raised by readers' letters, topic selection in the next issue, direction setting, author, work content, etc.
Although the boss didn't say it clearly, there were still various gossips within the editorial department this week.
I heard that the sales of the gold version of this issue of "Boys and Girls" have made great progress. Because of this, the boss is in a good mood this week. Whether it is approval, reimbursement or leave, it is so refreshing.
When they heard that they were going to have a meeting, everyone picked up their small books and went to the conference room.
Ling Xue and several colleagues fell to the end, and walked towards the conference room while chatting quietly.
The editor-in-chief is in a good mood, and Lingxue is in a good mood this week.
Through readers’ questionnaires and letters, Ghost Blows Out the Light received nearly 80% of the votes in this week’s questionnaires with its excellent plot and fascinating story.
The audience also mentioned a lot of content about "Ghost Blows Out the Light" in their letters, which made Ling Xue particularly proud when facing her colleagues.
She also won the long series of this book by herself and the editor-in-chief. She was able to gain the love and attention of so many readers.
Lingxue has a premonition that the editor-in-chief will give examples of sales and himself.
As expected, not long after the meeting began, the editor-in-chief talked about the sales of the gold and silver version of this issue of "Boys and Girls".
"The sales of the silver version remained at the same level as the previous issue, and the sales of the gold version have made great progress compared to the previous issue..."
When the editor-in-chief talked about this, the editors in the audience couldn't help but prick up their ears. They had just heard some rumors, but they really couldn't understand the specific numbers.
"Compared with the average monthly sales volume in the first quarter of this year, the sales volume of this issue of magazines increased by nearly 70,000, reaching the best record of 470,000."
Unlike "National Magazine" such as "Yilin", "Zhiyin" and "Story Club", monthly sales can even reach more than 7 million.
Compared with the monthly sales of "Boys and Girls", which is not long since its founding time, it has become a big deal for magazines that have been deeply involved in the field of youth reading materials.
In fact, the monthly sales of magazines have stabilized at around 400,000 from the beginning to the current level. Everyone in the editorial department has clearly felt the sales bottleneck, that is, no matter how you try to increase the sales of magazines, the monthly sales will still be maintained at this number, not much or too much.
Firstly, it has something to do with the fact that the publication was not founded for a long time, and secondly, it is because there is no better way to promote yourself.
This time, the sales of the gold version of "Boys and Girls" can increase by nearly 70,000 yuan in one go. This is a significant improvement. Everyone in the editorial department must study in-depth where their growth points are.
Through later questionnaires and readers' letters, the work "Ghost Blows Out the Light" naturally came into view, and its editor Ling Xue also attracted the attention of many colleagues and leaders.
"The first thing I want to praise this time is Ling Xue from our Jin Edition Editorial Department..."
The editor-in-chief talked about himself, and Ling Xue, who was standing beside him, hurriedly got up.
"It's okay, just sit down."
In the next hour, the editor-in-chief triggered the novel "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and talked in depth about the relationship between the author and the content of the work and the relationship between the author and the magazine. At the end of the meeting, the editor-in-chief also kept Ling Xue, saying that something needs to be discussed next.
"Have you asked him how many ten thousand words he planned to write in this novel?" The editor-in-chief asked Lingxue.
"He can't guarantee the specific number, but the number is probably no less than 2 million words."
As the editor-in-chief, she was still a little surprised when she heard this number for the first time.
It will take at least three and a half years to complete the serialization according to the 5,000-word publication of each issue. Although the current judging by "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is a great help to the sales growth of "Boys and Girls", it also compresses the living environment of other authors. There are only so many page numbers per issue, and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is equivalent to squeezing two authors.
"In this way, we will follow the existing model in these issues. You should pay close attention to the contact with the author. Don't forget to urge the manuscripts. If necessary, come to me directly for reimbursement if you need to travel on a business trip. This matter must not be delayed!"
Chapter completed!
