I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 337 Publicity
"20... 30 volumes."

Ayrton nodded and answered a number, which was more than what he had discussed with Petunia before.

"Um……"

This is already a big number for a small publishing house like Ayer Press.

The advance printing quantity of 30 copies means that before the official release of "Ordinary and Great",

Ayer Press will have a huge backlog of funds for the printing of The Ordinary and the Great.

It also shows Al's confidence in this excellent work at this moment. He believes that the 30 copies will be sold sooner or later.
He believes that the end of the sales performance of this great work is far from here, and it will definitely have enough readers.

Petunia nodded and agreed, and did not object to Al's decision.

As the first readers of "Ordinary and Great", Penny also has enough confidence in this excellent work.

"...If it is not necessary to reserve more funds for publicity, I would like to print more in advance."

Al laughed again and said,

"Compared with the advance printing volume and advance inventory of those best-selling books, the equally excellent work "The Ordinary and the Great" is still too little.

It was our publishing house that restricted this excellent work. "

Al was a little regretful as he spoke,

"Then we will try our best to do other work well. During this time, the entire publishing house is doing its best to serve the publication of this work."

"Hmm... hoo..."

Al took another breath, and got busy again,
As the editor-in-chief of Ayer Publishing House, he is really unwilling to live up to Mr. I's trust in Ayer Publishing,

As a loyal reader of "The Ordinary and the Great", he really didn't want to see such an excellent work being treated less than others in his own hands.

I really don't want to let down this excellent work.

……

"... ABC's new book theme prediction and interpretation of dog author's works."

"..."Ordinary and Great", a great work!"

"...ABC's "Epic of Empires" in-depth interpretation."

"After the Goncourt Prize was awarded this year, the debate between "The Epic of the Empire" and "The Seven Days of Hell" is still not over."

"How long until ABC's next book confrontation with dog author begins?"

Great Britain, university dormitories.

Xi Yuan's roommate from Great Britain is browsing the news on the Internet at the moment,

After looking at it, he raised his head again and looked towards Xi Yuan who was here.

"Xi Yuan... what are you looking at?"

"Dream of stars."

"Is it in English?"

"No, the Chinese version."

"Hey... when will the English version be released?"

"Haven't you heard me tell about "Star Dream"?"

"Hmm... I didn't mean to offend you, Xi Yuan, but Xi Yuan's level of translation may still be a bit behind that of a professional literary translator."

"..."

"But it doesn't matter, the gap is already very small. Listening to the stories in "Star Dream" you translated, I still think those stories are very good."

"..."

Xi Yuan was silent for a while, it would be better not to talk about the comfort from the roommate in Great Britain.

"...Xi Yuan, haven't you already watched "Star Dream", why do you still watch it?"

The Great Britain roommate looked at Xi Yuan silently, and changed the subject abruptly.

"Otherwise? What are you reading? The dog author's new book has not been released, and ABC's new book has not moved, and reading a book with a mobile phone in your hand is still a bit different from flipping through a physical book."

Xi Yuan said aloud,

He bought "Star Dream" as soon as it was published in China.

It was only sent to Great Britain, and he didn't get the book until now.

But now I read "Star Dream" again from the beginning, and I still can't help but immerse myself in the story, and I have been watching it for a long time.

"Oh... It's a pity that I can't read Chinese. I don't know when the English version of "Star Dream" will be published. I will definitely buy it and keep it for collection."

The roommate from Great Britain sighed and said with some regret, then turned his head and looked at Xi Yuan,

"Xi Yuan, you said when will the new book of Dog Author and ABC be released, and they said that the next book will be compared, so it should be released at the same time?"

The roommate from Great Britain said with some expectation,
"That way, I can have two good books to read at the same time."

"I don't know, according to what ABC said when accepting the award, it should be soon. But maybe the two writers agreed to release pigeons together. It is said that the next book will have a fair comparison with each other,
But when did he not say anything, what if it is half a year later, or a year later? "

"Oh! No! Then I'm going to die of pain. I haven't read ABC or dog author's works for a whole year! No, dog author may, but ABC is a hardworking and trustworthy writer. Dog author will release pigeons, ABC Nor will it."

Thinking of the scene described by Xi Yuan, the roommate felt a little pained, then shook his head and retorted.

Xi Yuan raised his head, glanced at his roommate, and said quietly,

"Where did you get this result? As the saying goes, 'people flock together'..."

"..."

The British roommate fell silent, then fell silent and turned his head away.

"Xi Yuan... What do you think the dog author will write in his next book, and ABC?"

"ABC may be about serious themes, but there are too many types of works about serious themes... For dog authors, do you think there are any rules for dog authors' past works to follow?"

"It seems not."

The roommate thought about it and agreed with Xi Yuan,
Then crossed the news on the computer screen discussing what type of ABC and dog author's new book might be,

Then I saw an unfamiliar novel written by an unfamiliar pseudonym, "The Ordinary and the Great"?
what is this?
crossed.

Interpretation of "The Epic of the Empire"?

Look at this...

The roommate clicked in and took a look, and saw it as expected,

A heated debate between Chief Rain supporters and St. Sen supporters.

After liking the comment that supported Leader Yu, the roommate backed out again, and then scrolled down for some news.

""The Ordinary and the Great", an excellent, great, and serious work!"

Why did I see this novel again?

I saw it twice in a short period of time, and my roommate in Great Britain became a little interested.

The title of the book that I have never heard of, but it is grandiose, and it appears in the news of fiction again and again,
This is a lot of money, right?

Before clicking on the news, the roommate search engine and social platforms of Great Britain searched for this book.

Then the results obtained are only 'news' published by some online media, but no sales news,

There are no comments from readers.

Maybe it hasn't been released yet?
That really cost a lot of money?

After looking at the previews of these searched news, they are all pretty good.

My roommate randomly clicked in and took a look.

news content,
I just talked about the news that Ayer Publishing, a small publishing house, will soon publish a book called "The Ordinary and the Great" "Great Works".

Whether this work is really great, he still doesn't know.

But this publishing house has spent a lot of money to promote this work, so he can see it.

In addition to this core content, the content of the entire press release revolves around touting and praising,

It is extremely flattering, and it seems to be more powerful than ABC's "Empire Epic" and "Seven Days of Hell" by the author of the dog.

But the entire press release didn't even mention the text at all.

Just attached a brief introduction of this work.

"White demons fell from the sky with feathered wings..."

The roommate looked at the introduction,
If this is a physical book that has been published and it is in his hand, he will be interested in this introduction, so he will open it and read it.

But now he can't read the book, only such an introduction, he just feels that this book is a bit 'mysterious'.

"Is this a fantasy magic work?"

"Oh... the soft article promotion just now seems to have already said that it is a work with serious themes."

The roommate looked down at the comments under the news,
Because this publishing house spent a lot of money to publish these 'news' in relevant news sections,
It really attracted a lot of readers.

However, the readers and netizens who clicked in did not seem to be so friendly.

"You can blow it! Oh, this is a masterpiece of God, this is a great work! What is this book about, I don't know. I have never seen such a bad publicity draft."

"...I know Ayer Publishing House. The "White Worm" and "White Flag" I have read are published by their publishing house. I always thought that you are a small but serious publishing house, but I really don’t know. Thinking that for such a new book, there would be such a publicity."

"This news is really ridiculous, but I have paid attention to this new book, and I want to see what kind of work is a great work."

"The introduction is inexplicable, like it said something, and it didn't say anything, like this press release, oh, what did it say? "The Ordinary and the Great" is a good book, "The Ordinary and the Great" It's a great book, that I, a great writer, and then... well, I get it, you rest."

Roommates read these comments.It seemed that he had said all he wanted to say, and said more than he wanted to say.

It is true that this propaganda press release is inexplicable. Is this really propaganda, not smearing?

However, he also remembered the name of this work, and if he saw it in a bookstore one day, he really wanted to read it.

What kind of work is worthy of such praise.

Shaking his head, the roommate withdrew from the news,

Then continue to scroll down to see other news about ABC and dog authors.

……

Kyle is a freelance writer for White Flag State,
I have my own online media account on Europa Network.

Mainly published articles, mostly in literary novels, and occasionally contact related advertisements for life and eating, drinking and having fun.

Xi Yuan's roommate from Great Britain saw the soft article just now, and he sent it.

this time,
Kyle was also looking at the comments under the press release of "Ordinary and Great", a great work he sent, and felt a little headache.

Although he had expected this result before sending out this news, someone would scold him.

"I thought you were also a person who liked literature, but I didn't expect to tarnish your professional ethics for a little dirty money."

"I really didn't expect that you, a blogger in literature, have such great attainments in literature, that you can boast so much about a work whose content can't be seen. It's amazing."

But looking at these yin and yang strange words,

Most importantly, seeing that the number of fans following him had indeed dropped, he still felt a little distressed.

It was at this time that he picked up the phone and looked at the numbers on the bank card account record on the phone, so that he could feel better again.

From the moment he received this order, Kyle knew that the money for this order was not easy to get,

The Ayer Press asked him to praise this work as close as he could think of words,

But he didn't even show him the content of the work, nor did he tell him what the book was about.

I just gave a brief introduction, told him that this is a serious work, and let him praise it vigorously.

He felt that the people in this publishing house were seriously ill.

But helplessly, the money given by the Ayer Publishing House is really too much.

But now, when he writes such an embarrassing article, those netizens who read the news naturally don't buy it.

"call……"

Finally, after looking at the comments below and scolding for a while,
Kyle was relieved when the number of followers on his media account finally disappeared.

Then I thought about it,
Sent a message to that Al Press.

"Kyle: Mr. Al, I have sent out the promotional article you requested according to your request.

Kyle: It's just that the response to the promotional draft is not too optimistic... You know, I don't even know the content of this work. "

Although a lot of money was collected this time, Kyle earned money from conscience,
Before publishing this publicity draft, he had already warned the editor-in-chief of Ayer Publishing House that this kind of publicity draft may have negative effects.

It was the other party who insisted that he send it out.

"Al: Thank you, Mr. Kyle, I have seen the press release you sent, and the final payment has been sent to you. Have you received it?

Kyle: Received, thank you Mr. Al.It's been a pleasure working with you. "

When the publicity draft was sent out, Kyle received the final payment.

Such a happy checkout made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It would be great if every advertising sheet could be so crisp and neat, although it is a bit uncomfortable to write a promotional draft out of thin air.

But he is also half of the journalists, and talking nonsense with open eyes is just a basic skill.

Feeling that the editor-in-chief of Al is straightforward,
Kyle hesitated again, and said something more,
"Kyle: Mr. Al, the effect of the promotional draft this time is not good... If necessary, I can resend the promotional draft to you again, this time without money.

Kyle: I might need to read the work this time, though. "

"Al: No, thank you, Mr. Kyle, if there is any need for publicity, we will come to you again.

Kyle: Uh..."

Kyle looked at Mr. Al's straightforward answer, and then thought about the effect of the press release he just saw,
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I had accepted a manuscript of a black book,

Is this propaganda?
probably.

……

On the other side, Ayer Press.

I have received feedback from many online media,
Al looked through some news on the Internet in the office again,
Put some smiles on your face,
Turning his head again, he looked at his wife Penny beside him,

Penny also looked at the computer screen, the comments and news on the Internet, and a smile gradually appeared on her face,

Turning around again, the two looked at each other, and then smiled at each other.

"The effect looks good."

"Um……"

Penny nodded.

Such an exaggerated publicity draft was naturally requested by Al and Penny.

It's just a publicity strategy chosen by the two.

Ayer Publishing House is too small, and even if it tries its best, it can't promote it like those big publishing houses.

It is even difficult to find some famous writers to endorse this work.

It is true that this kind of fake and exaggerated propaganda made most people who saw it dislike it.

But it also made most people who saw these promotional drafts remember the title of "The Ordinary and the Great",

When they see the book somewhere again, they will at least pick it up and read it.

Moreover, although there are many scolding and unfriendly voices on the Internet,
But it also represents a kind of enthusiasm.

Being able to grab some attention under the squeeze of the two writers, the dog author and ABC,

This is already a kind of victory, and it is enough.

Black and red are also red.

What's more, this is just some exaggerated praise.

Just leave the rest to "Ordinary and Great" itself.

When these readers got the work "Ordinary and Great",
You will understand that this great work deserves any praise.

At that time, public opinion will naturally reverse, and it will bring more heat.

"...Continue to contact the online media and continue this propaganda."

"it is good."
