Although it is said that the California Times achieved a counterattack tour through "The Witcher", this is only compared with the previous sales volume. If it is compared with other major newspapers, there is still a big difference.

There was no new chapter update on Thursday, and there was no breaking news, so the California Times was barely sold out around the evening. Although it was much inferior to the previous few days, it was enough to satisfy William SmithKline.

With the help of novels, the number of regular customer subscriptions for newspapers alone has increased significantly, from the original 80.00 copies to nearly 30.00 points. An increase of [-]% can be said to be enough to surprise people. After all, compared For the growth of overall sales, the number of subscriptions is the real deal.According to the integrated survey of some organizations, it is known that [-]% of general subscribers will subscribe to newspapers for more than one quarter at a time, [-]% to [-]% will subscribe to newspapers for one year at a time, and only [-]% will only subscribe. Subscribe for one month, then cancel.

In other words, even if the later novels are no longer published, the number of subscriptions to the California Times will not fluctuate much in a short period of time. With this number of subscriptions, even if only half of them remain, it is amazing enough. You must know that California Times The Times hasn't grown more than [-] subscribers a year for three years in a row, and even experienced negative growth last year, and that's just the beginning.

On Friday, under the arrangement of William Smith Kee, the California Times printed a full 22 copies of the newspaper, which is enough to rank in the top five in the history of the California Times, and it is also the highest number of publications in the past ten years. Sold out is extremely important to the California Times.

Although, with the comparison on Wednesday, it is reasonable to say that William Smith Kline does not need to worry, but it is more reasonable to know that the number of subscribers and the number of distributors of a stable small and medium-sized newspaper have seven to three in the absence of special circumstances. Yes, six or four is already relatively risky, but the California Times scored five or five this time, or it is close to four or six.It is definitely an extremely risky thing to dare to make this decision when the number of subscriptions has not yet reached [-], and the content of the newspaper has no special news except for the publication of the novel "The Witcher".

Obviously, the distributors also made a relatively conservative decision. Even though William Smith Keline specially said hello, they still only received [-] newspapers.You must know that LA and San Francisco accounted for [-] copies, and so many other cities each received thousands of copies, and the distribution to several newsstands was only a few, and it was not even enough, so this amount I really can't say much.

The dealer's approach disappointed William SmithKline. Even though he made a guarantee to the dealer that if they failed to sell, they were willing to take back all of them, but they still insisted on this decision.

"Editor-in-Chief, the General Distributor only took [-] copies of newspapers from the warehouse, and there is still a backlog of [-] newspapers in the warehouse. Mr. Lyon asked how to deal with these newspapers?" Donna sat facing the office , William Smith asked with a silent and serious expression.

William Smith frowned slightly. A total of 23 copies of today's newspaper were printed. Originally, 22 copies were planned to be sent out, but now the fact is that only 18 copies have been sent out. Although it is already the best result in the past few years, But there is a backlog of [-] copies. You must know that newspapers have never been a highly profitable industry. Such a backlog is enough to cause huge losses to the newspaper office. Even he will be reprimanded by the directors.

"Let's put it away and be ready at any time. I don't believe that these [-] newspapers will be kept until night." Although William Smith was a little disappointed, he was fascinated by the novel "The Witcher" after experiencing his own eye punching incident. confidence.

"Then why don't you contact the recycling company first?" Donna asked a little anxiously. If the [-] copies form a backlog today, it would be a major mistake for William SmithKline, and it might even affect them. The little guy, I managed to get proud of "The Witcher" for a while, if it disappears because of this mistake, it would be really a pity.

"Hmm." William Smith responded, and then waved Donna to go out. He took out the novel "The Witcher" from the drawer and read it again. Apart from the fact that the quality of the novel was indeed good, he read it again to add to the confidence in this decision.

……

And in many places in California that subscribed to the California Times, they also opened the newspaper at various times, turned to the last page, and watched the contents of the freshly released "Witcher" Chapter 3.

Originally thought that this chapter would be the same as the previous two chapters, from the perspective of the protagonist, and follow the timeline again, but obviously Adam surprised everyone again, this time Adam used various interspersed ways to describe , describing the protagonist's encounter and the battle scene in front of him.

Although the plots of the two completely different styles are interspersed with each other in a chapter, there is no confusion at all, but the rhythm of the whole story is firmly controlled. If you use the type of movie to compare, the current timeline is Kung Fu movies. It is full of fighting and plasma, and the other timeline is a horror suspense film, slowly creating a terrifying atmosphere during the advancement process.

The two completely opposite timelines are unusually harmonious, and in the end, they merge together in an unimaginable way, just like two spirals, meeting at one point at the last moment, leading to the three Zhang repeatedly mentioned the boss behind the massacre described.

Then, at this critical moment, Adam once again brought the plot to an abrupt end. If he was allowed to stand in front of the readers with this broken chapter ability, he would be punched to the ground every minute, and then kicked twice before he could vent his anger. Seeing the orgasm suddenly disappear.

It's like Tom and his father Milton, because they fell into the trap one after another, so they got together on Friday, sitting in front of the house early and reading the newspaper together harmoniously, but they were suddenly caught. After breaking the chapter, the anger was full in an instant, and they entered the quarrel mode without saying a word.

Although in the end, under the strong interruption of my mother, those who should go back to the room should go back to the room, and those who should wash and eat go to work, I have to say that the impact is very great.

From this small corner, it can be seen that Adam held several meetings specially in order to tantalize people's appetite, and it was extremely successful to implement the importance of fragments to the novel.

At least after reading Chapter 3, the assistant editors of the newspaper once again entered the horror situation where the phone rings all over their ears, but this time the difference is that the readers who called had only two reasons. If you are in a bad mood, come and scold the editor, so that you can be happy physically and mentally, and the other is to ask me what is the plot behind it.

The first reason is satisfied, because they have to pick up the phone and listen to all kinds of abuse before they can put it down, and the other is not satisfied, not only the editor does not know, but also their editor-in-chief does not know, because Lydia The new three chapters will not be sent to the newspaper until Sunday.

In fact, there is no way for Adam to do this. What appears in front of readers now is actually the content after multiple revisions. In fact, Adam did not intend to make it so complicated in the earliest days, but simply used a linear structure to Tell a fun fantasy story.

But after finishing, Adam separated each chapter independently, especially the first few chapters. He found that the original writing method of the book was qualified, but if it was serialized, then the first few chapters would not be attractive enough for unfamiliar readers strength.

For this reason, Adam specially invited experienced screenwriters and writers in the industry to rectify these chapters, focusing on how to catch readers' eyes in the shortest possible time.

Among them, after the rectification, I don’t know how many times I was killed because of being too hypocritical, deceptive, confusing story lines, etc. This is why Adam failed to catch up with Carol’s birthday in the end. Still the plot is almost impeccable, and finally won unanimous approval.

It can be said that if "The Witcher" fails to be a big success this time, or if it only sells a million copies of the novel under the name of "Jurassic Park", Adam will not even make money. There may be an embarrassing situation of losing money.

First of all, the hiring of the three assistants cost a lot of money. In order to let them do their best and build the entire wizarding world as complete as possible, Adam spent hundreds of thousands of dollars from hiring them to the publication of the novel for more than half a year. US dollars, plus the invention of the wizarding language, and several writers and screenwriters specially hired to make the novel perfect, not to mention the expenses of the studio they work in, and the time and energy paid by Adam himself, etc. It can definitely scare 90.00% of the writers in the industry to death.

In other words, if Adam's energy and dollars spent on this novel are known to other writers, then Adam will definitely receive the honorary title of 'Prodigal Son'.

You must know that the number of fictional novels that sell over one million a year in North America is basically about two hands, or even less than that in some cases, and the money these lucky writers made from this million-selling masterpiece It's only tens of millions of dollars. If it's done in this way, a sack of famous writers will die every year.

You must know that not everyone can sell tens of millions of copies in one book like Adam. Most famous writers will only write one or two works that sell more than one million copies in their lifetime. Ten million, that is the very few people who are at the very top of the pyramid.

But no matter how you say it, this world has always been realistic and cruel. He doesn't care how much energy and dollars you spend, whether you end up with fame and fortune or encounter ridicule and ridicule. After all, it depends on the results.
