Lin Yuan's biggest flaw at the moment is that the sales volume is not enough. His novels are actually very popular, but his debut time is just that much. Without a certain period of accumulation, Lin Yuan's sales volume cannot be as good as those top writers who have been writing for decades. compared to.

But Lin Yuan has Lin Yuan's advantage.

He created two new genres in the field of fantasy in a row, plus the tomb robbery trend that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will soon create. These achievements can be counted as Lin Yuan's influence. If there is a selection, these things will be taken into consideration. As for the purpose of Yinlan Shuku to give its new book the highest publicity, it is naturally to help itself get a higher rating. After all, the greater the influence of the authors under the company, the greater the influence of the company.

"You know it."

Yang Feng finally smiled and said: "This matter has been rumored recently in the industry and outside the industry. It is said that the selection will officially start in June, so your new book is released at the right time, but also because there is such a selection in June, so There are many authors publishing books in June, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is the most important new book in our Yinlan library in June..."

"Ah."

Lin Yuan didn't say much.

Regardless of the results of the selection, at least the top-level promotion arranged by Yinlan Library is a good thing. Just like film and television promotion, novels also need to be promoted before they are released. If the promotion is in place, it can increase sales. After all, the smell of wine is afraid of deep alleys.

Word-of-mouth counterattack?

Relying on word-of-mouth to rise in the late stage is certainly a good story script, but it is actually just out of a kind of helplessness for reality. Wouldn't it be better if the popularity exploded at the beginning?

as predicted.

After Lin Yuan was notified, the Yinlan library was fully operational, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" entered the highest stage of publicity and distribution, not only the routine operation of hanging large banners on the official website, but also the pervasive city advertisements and newspapers. The tribe's literature section also put up an advertisement, saying that Chu Kuang is about to release a new novel and so on...

To know.

Under normal circumstances, the tribe rarely accepts this type of novel advertisement, but this is Chu Kuang's new book after all, and the tribe has always had a good foundation for cooperation with Chu Kuang, so when Yinlan Bookstore approached them for cooperation, the tribe didn't consider it. Too many directly agreed, not so much to give Yinlan library a face, but rather to show a little bit of human affection.

It turned out to be a success.

Hurray, full of publicity!

After this combination of punches, within a few days there were advertisements for Chu Kuang's new book everywhere. Everyone who followed the novel knew that Chu Kuang's new book was about to be released. The highest level of publicity cards has been obtained.

Besides.

The promotional slogan of Yinlan Library for Chu Kuang's new book this time is also very tone-deaf, not weaker than Chu Kuang's previous book's arrogance: [June [-]st Chu Kuang's new book shockingly released, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" opened the school! 】

at the same time.

There are more slogans, which appear almost everywhere on the Internet. For example, some novel forums have this kind of advertisement that makes people curious: "Send the seal of the hill, touch the golden talisman, move the mountain to find the dragon "People light candles, ghosts blow lamps, survey public opinion and look for star peaks. Mercury spots, nourishing vessels, dragon towers and treasure halls are countless; sinking coffins, bronze bottles, if you don't have a strong character, don't come near!"

People light candles!

Ghost blowing lights!

Although the painting style of the promotion is completely different from Chu Kuang's previous two novels, it resembles a supernatural novel, but many readers actually like this kind of nagging feeling, highlighting an unknown, especially Chu Kuang's fans:

"It feels like a new type!"

"After experiencing the first two books, although I really hope that Chu Kuang will continue to write fairy tales or sports competitions, but seeing that he wants to write new genres, I will still support him, because I believe in Chu Kuang's writing power. It proves everything!"

"The advertisement is so fierce!"

"The old thief Chu Kuang is now one of the cards of the Yinlan Library. He may not be the number one in sales, but his influence is extremely high. After all, he has led two waves of trends in a row. Do you dare to give him face?"

"I look forward to it!"

"The old thief Chu Kuang has finally released a new book. It seems to be quite productive, but I don't know how to read it. Since the old thief Chu Kuang wrote Baguio to death, I decided not to read any of his novels again. Post it As proof!"

"Published in June?"

"Aren't there too many new books released in June? They are probably selected for the selection of the great gods, and the supreme god, but the release in June can only be regarded as temporary cramming. The main thing is to look at the past results. With the strength of Chu Kuang It will definitely be no problem to win a Great God Award."

"..."

And within the industry.

The major publishing companies frowned at the same time. In the environment of the fiercest market competition, Chu Kuang suddenly released a new book, which is not good news for everyone, because Chu Kuang's ability has been seen twice in the industry.

In fact.

Since the launch of the highest-level publicity advertisement, all major booksellers have contacted Yinlan Bookstore to pre-order a certain number of Chu Kuang's new books. After the tragic accident last time, no one dared to question Chu Kuang easily.

"Are you here for the Great God?"

"Even if Chu Kuang doesn't publish a new book in June, with the influence of his first two books, it won't be a big problem for him to be a master. I guess he wants to rank higher. It depends on the quality of his new book. "

"It shouldn't be bad."

"This is not necessarily the case. The scale of publicity is the author's reputation. No matter whether the new book is exciting or not, the publishing house will give it to the big-name author. It depends on the previous achievements of the author. Whether the new book is exciting or not is another matter."

"..."

There are discussions in the industry that Chu Kuang's name is very popular, but now that Qin and Qi have merged, not everyone knows who Chu Kuang is, because now half of the market base is readers from Qi province.

Yes.

Although there are some readers in Qi province who have read Chu Kuang's "Zhu Xian" after the merger of the two continents, but this number is not many after all, the two sides have not yet fully integrated with each other, and they are still in a state of ignorance about the writers next door, so many people send out I have a question:

"Is Chu Kuang very powerful?"

"This Chu Kuang is a bit fierce. His new book advertisements are all on the bus I often take. In our province, a writer of this level is already a leader in a certain field."

"Is it really that hanging?"

"I've read Chu Kuang's short story "The Necklace", and it's really well written. I didn't expect him to write long fantasy novels. It just so happens that this is also my favorite genre. I want to see if Chu Kuang is really that good. .”

"..."

The readers in Qin Province are naturally scrambling to popularize the information about Chu Kuang to the readers of Qi Province: "Chu Kuang wrote long novels at the earliest, and all the popular sports articles in Qinzhou follow the trend of Chu Kuang, and the popular fairy tale novels in Qinzhou are also the same. Follow the wind Chu Kuang, the old mountain monster understand?"

With pride.

With a little bragging.

Anyway, after being popularized by science, the readers in Qi Province are really full of anticipation, and they plan to see how the level of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is. :

Win the selection!

Develop new markets!

Let Chu Kuang steadily become a great god, and at the same time let readers in Qi Province realize Chu Kuang's strength, so that the sales of Chu Kuang's novels can be further improved.

no doubt.

Yinlan Shuku is still very optimistic about the quality of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Although this novel has some internal disputes, for example, some people worry that readers will not accept No.1, and some people worry that the genre of this novel does not match fantasy novels, but Everyone agrees that:

This novel is wonderful.

The major publishing houses are now paying close attention to the selection. Whoever has a large number of great gods and supreme gods means that whose strength is stronger. Naturally, Yinlan Bookstore wants to help Chu Kuang...

------

ps: There is another chapter, eat something and continue to write, this selection, everyone understands that it is enough for the big god appointment and the platinum appointment

Chapter 217 officially released

Great God, supreme.

The selection seems to be very secondary.

But readers who like to read fantasy novels, who doesn't have the second attribute?

The official naming of this selection is probably catering to young readers who like this category of novels.

After all, everyone still likes to call their favorite authors "great gods".

There are also "old thieves".

But this title is a minority.

Only those writers who readers love and hate will be called old thieves by readers.

If there was an "Old Thief" selection, Chu Kuang, a writer who wrote Baguio to death, would probably be on the list.

Lin Yuan didn't care about these false names...

Until he knows that Supreme God can get a better contract.

At that moment, Lin Yuan yearned for the so-called "Supreme God", as if he was looking forward to becoming "Father Qu".

In contrast, apart from getting a good reputation, the selection of short stories seems to have no real benefits?

Of course there are some benefits.

It’s just that when it comes to making money, it’s a fact that novels overwhelm short stories, which is why Lin Yuan never gave up writing novels.

In the following days, Lin Yuan consciously paid attention to the selection trend.

The "Literary News", which previously ranked Qin Qi's short story writers, is a newspaper affiliated to the Literature and Art Association, and it can be regarded as a subordinate unit.

The short stories were submitted to the "Literary News" for selection.

The selection of novels is conducted by the headquarters of the Literature and Art Association, and the preparations have been made for some time, otherwise the outside world would not know in advance.

Lin Yuan, who has too many cross-industries, doesn't know the new information of some industries.

And when the time came to mid-May.

The selection of the Great God and the Supreme God finally revealed more details.

The Literature and Art Association published an article on the "Literary News": "In the future, the selection will be held every year, so there will be new great gods and supreme gods born every year. The specific number is to be determined, but the number of people for the first session has been determined. We will be fair and just. Openly select ten great god-level fantasy writers, and three supreme gods..."

really.

The most difficult supreme god, there are only three places, and there is a high probability that they will be given to some top fantasy writers who have been famous for many years and have stable grades!

The number of great gods is relatively more, a total of ten.

No wonder Yinlan Shuku thinks that Chu Kuang can win the place of Great God.

Although he made his debut relatively late, Chu Kuang's influence is not comparable to that of ordinary novelists!

Many people in the industry have even begun to predict.

This kind of ranking can actually predict part of the results in advance. After all, editors in the industry know the achievements of novelists best.

In the vast majority of predictions, Chu Kuang is among them.

"In terms of sales volume, Chu Kuang's selection as a great god has little advantage, but it can't support Chu Kuang's industry influence. He has created two new types of writers in a row. It is not too much to take a great god."

Many people agree with this.

No one can deny the fact that the sports novels and fairy tale novels pioneered by Chu Kuang have supported many authors.

The impact of the mountain monster is too great.

Especially Xianxia novels, which are so popular now!

Someone has counted...

The combination of Xianxia and sports themes in the Qin Province market can already occupy one-fifth of the market share in the fantasy field!

In other words.

One-fifth of the writers in the market are following the two themes created by Chu Kuang!

A fifth is small?

No, it's terrible for the entire Qin province.

of course.

Now that Qin and Qi have merged, the market share must have shrunk a lot, but this resume is brilliant enough for Chu Kuang.

……

Editors are predicting, and readers are predicting too.

Readers like this kind of prediction more than editors, and even made specific rankings.

Some people think that although Chu Kuang can enter the list of great gods, his ranking should not be particularly high, because Qin Qi's fantasy writers have to participate in the selection...

Qi Sheng's fantasy novels are indeed not as good as Qin Sheng's.

But that's only relative.

There are also many powerful fantasy writers in Qi Province.

Even for the sake of fairness, Qi Province will inevitably have several fantasy writers selected, but the number may be inferior to Qin Province.

But it's pointless to make more predictions now.

Because the ongoing results will not be officially announced until after July.

current market.
