The rise of the country from the entertainment industry

Chapter 173 Applause or not
The next day, it was still the same bookstore.

Since the signing session has ended, there is no longer a long queue at the store entrance like yesterday.

Even a little deserted.

But this is the norm for bosses.

He was wearing glasses, his legs were crossed, and he was flipping through "Too Wild Swallowing the Sky" with his hands, clicking his tongue from time to time.

To be honest, he can't appreciate this online novel at all.

But the books he likes are not necessarily good books.

Those books that young people like, and books that make money, are "good books".

The profit earned from a signing event yesterday was comparable to his one-month opening.

Two girls came to the store.

He knew one of them, the most taciturn of the four girls from yesterday.

The girl who accompanied her looked very lively, and asked to buy "The Observer" by name.

"Boss, do you have "Observer" here?"

"Yes, yes." The boss nodded with a smile on his face.

He took "The Observer" from the second row of bookshelves in a desperate manner.

To his surprise, when the lively girl saw the book, the first thing she cared about was not whether the book was intact, but the author's name first.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He also muttered such fortunate words as "fortunately came early", "almost missed it".

"Xiaoyu, why are you in such a hurry to buy books? I don't think there are many more?"

"Oh, you don't understand Yiyi, you will understand why in a few days."

Then the two girls chattered away and left.

The boss continued to look down at the book, and became more interested in "The Observer".

He decided to watch "The Observer" after reading "The Way of Too Much Desolation".

During this period, two more guests came, one of them bought two copies of "Too Wild Swallowing the Heavens" and "Crash Immortal Rebellion", two copies of "The Observer", and the other bought ten copies. The Observer.

The boss didn't take it seriously either, he just thought these people were fans of the three writers.

.........

At the same time, the major booksellers are still waiting for the sales data of the three books to be sent to them.

After the published works are widely distributed in various bookstores, the only thing that can slightly reflect some market results is the evaluation of online sales buyers.

There are very few comments on the first day.

This kind of data is not very useful to Qidian and is not representative.

But the next day, the first batch of readers also finished the novel one after another.

The feedback on the work has gradually increased.

But the result was astonishing.

"Too Wild Swallowing the Heavens" and "Crash Immortal Rebellion", which the company placed high hopes on, did not seem to have as good a reputation as they had imagined.

Except for some fans, most readers are only willing to give a passing score of 60 points for "Collapse of Immortals Against the Way", while the evaluation of "Tai Huang Swallows the Sky" is relatively higher.

It barely counts as 75 points.

Although the sales of these two books are not bad, they are far from their sales data on the platform.

It seems that readers of those physical books are not very interested in these two novels.

Remove some stinky comments, and remove some inexplicable troll comments.

It can be summed up in four words - mediocre.

Although this is the first part, the plot has not fully unfolded yet.

But if the first part of the novel fails to attract readers, no matter how good the later ones are, it will be difficult for readers to buy tickets again.

Only when readers are attracted at the beginning can the novel continue to be published steadily.

Of course, there are also some novels that are weak in the early stage and powerful in the later stage.

For example, there is a fairy tale called "The Legend of Li Ergou's Cultivation of Immortals".

When it was first released, the sales volume was a bit unsatisfactory, and the word-of-mouth was not good or bad, so the publisher directly cut the book in half.

Later, the author named "Wang Yan" gritted his teeth and sold the house in spite of his family's objections, before continuing to publish at his own expense.

As a result, after the third part, the peak turned around, and the sales unexpectedly exploded.

The current "Wangyan" is known as the originator of the "Mortal Flow" works, and he also became a platinum writer a few years ago.

But such examples are rare.

It is impossible for major publishers and booksellers, including Qidian, to gamble on this possibility.

After all, they have to free up resources for some works with more potential.

And at Qidian's departmental meeting.

"This time it was my mistake."

The editor-in-chief in charge of this publication rubbed his head: "I thought Grandpa Wang was good enough to control the creation of fairy tales, but I didn't expect that as readers read more and more fairy tales, everyone's requirements followed. It's getting higher and higher."

Another deputy editor shook his head and said, "I've read "Too Desolate Swallowing the Heavens" and "Crash Immortal Rebellion", and they are already considered excellent works, even if they can't compare to "Killing the Immortal" by Epitaph, the pioneer of the mountain. , not too bad."

"It's not that Grandpa Wang and the Emperor of Heaven are not strong enough, but that readers' reading requirements are getting higher and higher. No wonder the editor-in-chief said before that he will support new themes. It seems that the encouragement and support plan is indeed on the agenda."

When Xianxia novels first appeared, just looking for some novel cheats would be popular.

That's really standing in the wind, pigs can take off.

But no one thought that the category of Xianxia has only been released for a few years, and readers are a little fatigued.

Obviously on the Qidian platform, Xianxia is still thriving.

In this dignified atmosphere, qq, the editor in charge of the epitaph, showed hesitation.

Not only him, but the editor-in-charge of Grandpa Wang and the Emperor of Heaven were also present, but they were trying to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible.

Seeing that no one spoke, QQ flinched and said, "Actually..."

Before he finished speaking, he swallowed the rest of the words when he saw that everyone was looking at him.

"Qq, if you have anything to say, continue."

Hearing this, QQ breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Actually, although the offline sales of the novel "The Observer" is the last among the three, I found that everyone's evaluation of it is still very good."

"Oh?" Several other chief editors looked at each other and dug out the feedback reports of "Observer".

I saw the comment area, the favorable rate accounted for 90.00%.

"Hey, I was recommended by a friend. Such a good book, why are there so few reviews? Did I discover a treasure novel?"

"I didn't expect that the tomb thief could write this kind of science fiction so wonderfully, it's simply omnipotent!"

"I'm tired of watching fairy tales and fantasy, but now I watch science fiction, and it's surprisingly good. It was obviously boring before."

A few minutes later, their frowning brows relaxed, but the sadness between their brows has not dissipated.

"This is our negligence. We only care about sales."

"What qq said is not wrong. The current score of "Observer" is very high, and the readers' feedback in the comment area is basically mostly admiration."

QQ's expression became excited, but a sudden sentence next to him seemed to have poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Even if the reader's evaluation is good, it's useless. The subject matter is too unpopular, so it won't be well received."
