"Editor-in-Chief, LA is already sold out, and the other party has requested to allocate [-] copies." Donna walked in quickly and said to William SmithKline.

William Smith looked up at the clock. It was just over ten o'clock at this time. It can be said that it was sold out in just one morning, and it was sold out faster than he expected. He thought for a while and said: "Tell them we have a total of LA has prepared 1 copies, and now there are [-] copies in the warehouse. Ask them if they only pick up [-] copies, and the remaining [-] copies are reserved, or all at once. In addition, I think San Francisco and other places The cities are almost sold out, and if they call, you tell them all the quantities we have left in each city and let them choose."

"Okay, editor-in-chief. I'll tell them right away." Donna nodded her head and replied crisply.Although she was not optimistic about the dealer before, she refused to accept more after several negotiations, but it was sold out before noon, and she expressed contempt for the behavior of applying to pick up the remaining newspapers.However, the newspaper office of the California Times still had no way to reprimand them with full confidence in front of the distributors. After all, they could only cooperate, but the attitude of the other party was very satisfied.

You must know that in the morning, when she just heard that the distributors did not take away all the printed newspapers as they had imagined, she was very frightened for a while. Unexpectedly, she received the news that the newspapers were sold out before noon. This also made them, the people in the newspaper, let go of their worries.

And knowing that the newspaper backlog has been resolved, William Smith can finally relax and deal with tomorrow's newspaper layout.

The surge in newspaper sales triggered by Adam's fantasy novels is no longer an uncertain factor. This uncertain factor has become how much sales can be increased in the end.

This time he took the risk to make a rather bold decision, not because he was cocky because of a small success and didn't know how much he weighed, but because of the surge in newspaper sales in the past few days as a confidence, he also Advertisers who can stay in the advertising area will bleed more. The money they give is only paid to the California Times with a sales volume of [-] copies, which is no longer suitable for today's California Times.

What's more, next week, the California Times will publish an exclusive interview with Adam, and officially reveal that the author of the novel "The Witcher" is Adam, which will surely cause a sensation in the industry.

And with Friday's risky attempt as confidence, William Smith Kline can also talk to dealers about the number of newspapers published next Monday. This time he will not take risks, and it is up to the dealer to make a decision.

He made an internal call and informed all the editors to formally meet in the conference room at 10:30. Apart from the layout arrangement, the content of the discussion was to contact the advertiser in advance, next week's print run and Adam's contribution.

Although there is a lot of time and a lot of things, people need to be pushed, especially when the current situation is good. Just imagine the welfare money that may be available at the end of the year, and the motivation will increase in an instant, and you will be energetic to deal with people in all aspects. It's over.

……

On Sunday, Lydia still brought the manuscript over at the same time as last time, but compared to the cold reception and neglect last time, this time it seemed to be completely reversed, and she wished to treat her like a princess.

In fact, after Lydia received a call from William Smith last time, she also had people track the changes in newspaper sales in real time. Thinking, since she is doing things for Adam, then the first consideration is naturally how to act is the most beneficial to Adam.

When Adam called two days ago, he talked to him about this matter. Although Adam was surprised that the novel was approved so quickly, he did not intend to change the original plan, but notified him in advance. The editors at HarperCollins informed them that he was the author of The Witcher, a novel now serialized in the California Times.

Let them also be able to know in advance the development of Adam's new book, and then make an estimate of the novel in advance. As for the original copy of the novel, Adam is not going to hand it over to HarperCollins before the serialization of the novel ends. They go to experience the thoughts of other readers, so that it will be more powerful for subsequent releases and various promotions.

To be honest, until now they couldn't figure out that Wei and Adam were going to serialize the novel in the newspaper. Even though they didn't suppress the manuscript, they still gave him preferential treatment according to the highest level. Isn't that enough?

If you have confidence in your quality, then you don’t have to worry about the natural sales volume. Relying on their fame and their spare no effort to promote, they will definitely sell well in an instant. Even if the quality is not good, with their escort, they can still sell millions of sales and save Save face.

It was directly published in the newspaper. Those who have read it and are not interested in reading it will naturally not sell it again. If they read it and think it is not good-looking, they will not buy it again. If they read it and think it is good-looking, just collect the newspaper and read it again. Compared with the price of novels, newspapers are much cheaper, and the gains outweigh the losses!

This is still when the quality of the novel is on the line. If the quality is not good, isn't it missing the underwear by itself, so that people can see through it?At that time, even if they help fool you, there is no way, after all, word of mouth has already spread.

In addition, if newspapers publish his novels and put them in small newspapers, it will damage their own style and reputation. If they are published in big newspapers, people will not like it, or they will just throw it in a corner, and they will not notice it at all. .

This is how confident you have to be in your own novels to do this.I have to say that HarperCollins has never seen a super best-selling author like Adam, but he has never met a super best-selling author of his age, so no matter how different Adam behaves from ordinary people, they It can only be described as youthful and frivolous.

However, since Adam notified them, of course they would not be perfunctory, and they specially ordered a few copies and sent them to New York (no way, who made the California Times incapable of cross-state capabilities?), the specific quality, Let's talk about it after reading it.

……

Whether it's the excited William Smith Kline editor, or the HarperCollins watching the show, and the melon-eating readers waiting for the new chapter to appear, Monday finally came.

After a week, the number of regular users of the California Times rose to 15, and there was a jumping growth again, and because of the new chapters and the interview with Adam Baker, the most popular super-bestselling author, and then revealed the book "The Witcher" The novel is his new work, and the California Times printed a crazy number of 35 copies of this newspaper.

This crazy decision shocked the entire North American newspaper industry. In any case, the California Times has already broken a small record. The record for the number of publications since their publication, and even this issue of the newspaper, is overwhelmingly overwhelming. Sales of all newspapers in North America in the single state of California.

Although the La Times sold 89 copies, the New York Times and the Washington Times were not to be outdone, and they also sold nearly one million copies, but this is based on the sales of the entire United States. 20 to [-], in comparison, it will be suppressed by the California Times.

And the California Times has finally become a veritable California Times in California. It no longer needs to bear the name of a California Times, but it is not as famous and sales as the La Times, and lives on its nose.

And those distributors did not disappoint the California Times (actually, the number of newspapers had been exchanged over the weekend. The California Times hoped to print 40 copies, but they conservatively estimated 30 copies. In the end, it was 35 copies. copies), in addition to the fixed 15 subscribers, there are a full 20 copies of newspapers available in more than a dozen cities in California. It can be said that the California Times will appear on newsstands in almost every city in California.

The California Times has also exploded the entire California with an unprecedented sense of presence, giving other newspapers in the entire California a sense of horror that the person next to the pillow becomes a giant in a blink of an eye.

Since Adam himself is a Californian, he has a convenient location in California. When "Jurassic Park" is sold nationwide, there are often newspapers in the state cheering for it, so that it has enough sense of presence.

Afterwards, the film adaptation of "Jurassic Park" was confirmed. Although it was scolded by countless newspapers that it was destined to hit the street, Adam made a muddled deal, and some even joked that Adam was absolutely shocked by the huge copyright fee for the adaptation. Yes, he obediently took the money and let him toss, but no matter what the media and newspapers say, Adam has not disappeared from the eyes of the California public for a long time since this year.

However, to everyone's annoyance and helplessness, Adam has never accepted any interviews since the novel officially exploded, or after appearing on "The Tonight Show", and no media has been able to find him. .

For this young, handsome, talented new multi-millionaire and super best-selling author, everyone is full of interest, wanting to see what is wrapped under his mysterious coat.

So, when Adam's handsome face was printed on the front page of the California Times, and the title of "the youngest super best-selling author in history" was marked, whether it was because of curiosity, liking his novels, comics, or simply Just because of his looks, he will buy the next one and have a look.

And the California Times, of course, will not disappoint everyone, because they even vacated two pages in this issue, and at least half of the pages are reserved for all angles, all Adam with a handsome pose, although he couldn't make the whole page full of pictures because there was room for an exclusive interview, but each one is so handsome that people want to cut it out for collection, but they are afraid of accidentally cutting it out, and Don't dare to do it.

Then, apart from the pictures, the rest of the page was dedicated to interviews. Although it only released some irrelevant information to let the melon-eaters see the story behind the mysterious young best-selling author, it can be regarded as a dedication.For the sake of newspaper sales, there is no lack of sensational plots in the interview, but there is no way Adam’s father passed away, and the family was in trouble. In the end, it was up to Adam to fight back, and the matter of saving the situation could not be hidden. It is better to take this opportunity to release it to deceive Tears, by the way, scrape away your reputation, so as to save some envious and jealous people from criticizing indiscriminately.

The rest of the entire page was handed over to "The Witcher". This time, the three chapters of last week and the new chapter of this week were placed, a total of four chapters of the entire novel, as well as the accompanying paintings drawn for it.Compared with the usual advertisement that was thrown at the end of the page, this time it used the entire page to place it, which is enough to show the sincerity of the California Times.
