I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 379
"Carol: Mr. A, some of the manuscripts of "Shadow Empire" that you have sent in succession have already been printed and translated in advance.

Carol: Now I have received the last part of your manuscript, Mr. A. I will transfer this part of the manuscript to the printing house overnight, and immediately start printing the last part of the English and Chinese versions, and start the binding of the entire book.

carol: For other language versions, after waiting for the translation of the last part of the manuscript, this part of the printing work will continue.

carol: It is expected that within one month, Mr. A's new work will be officially released.You look at the specific time to determine when is more appropriate. "

With Carol’s concern during this period, except for the entire manuscript sent to Carol this time,
The manuscripts of "Shadow Empire" written before have been distributed to Carroll and Burt Press in advance.

Burt Publishing House is naturally not idle, translation and advance printing work are carried out simultaneously,

Just wait for the last part of Ji Zhuo's manuscript to be sent, and the final part of printing is completed, and the entire book can be bound.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: as soon as possible."

Ji Zhuo thought about it, and it will be officially released within a month.Seems to be about the same.

Waiting for the hustle and bustle of "The Shepherd Boy Looking for the Fairy" to subside, ABC's "Shadow Empire" will follow closely.

Continue to suppress the heat of "The Ordinary and the Great".

This is not over, and then there is a new book under the name of the dog author.

Of course...according to this time, maybe the new book under the name of the dog author will be seen by readers earlier.

After all, Ji Zhuo is still planning to serialize this new book under the name of the dog author.

It is serialized on the international edition website of Non-Mo Novels. From time to time, the pen and ink has to pay attention to this matter,

I'm afraid that Ji Zhuo will forget.

"carol: Then the release time is tentatively set in 20 days?"

"Carol: According to the current work of the publishing house, there should be time.

Clumsy and uncommon: OK, hard work.

Carol: No hard work, it's a great honor for Bert Press and me.

Carol: Ha, Burt Publishing will be responsible for the publication of one of your works by Mr. A again,

Carol: I feel that as an editor-in-chief, there will be one more comment on the Internet.

Carol: I was in charge of publishing Mr. A's "Shadow Empire"! "

Ji Zhuo just replied, and Carol sent several messages in succession.

Excitement almost overflowed from the screen.

the other side,
Carol stared at the computer screen,

After finishing the communication with Mr. A, **** is still very excited. When I think of Mr. A's excellent and great work, he will be in charge of publishing it again.
He felt refreshed, and the fatigue after a day in the office seemed to be gone.

"...Linna, notify the printing house to start printing the last part of "Shadow Empire" and start binding the entire book."

"I will send them the last part of the manuscript, as well as translations, literary translations in other languages, I will contact you..."

Carol excitedly shouted out of the office again,

Then the office door was pushed open, revealing Linna's resentful expression,

Carol said before that he would invite her to dinner after he finished watching "Empire of Shadows" at the end.

So she continued to wait at the publishing house,

As a result, after waiting for so long, it was almost completely dark outside the house,

But when Carol came, she asked her to work overtime.

"...and publicity, publicity... oh, sorry, my Linna."

The excited Carol finally noticed Linna's eyes, and said apologetically,

Then get excited again,
"We'll be leaving right away...but let's contact the printing house first! We need to make arrangements for the publication of "Shadow Empire" as soon as possible."

"Let this great work be seen by more readers as soon as possible!"

Seeing Carol's excited appearance,

The resentment in Linna's eyes subsided a bit, and while contacting the printing factory, there was also some interest in her eyes.

As a reader of Mr. A, she is also particularly interested in the entire story of "Shadow Empire".

"Mr. Carroll, wait for the first batch of "Empire of Shadows" to be bound by the printing factory. Can you let me read the whole book?"

"of course."

"Well, I'll urge the printing house right now."

And Carol has turned his head and started contacting literary translations in other languages, even though these literary translations may have been off work at this moment...

I made an agreement with Mr. A that the language versions of "Shadow Empire" will be officially released 20 days later.

In these 20 days, the main thing that Carroll and Burt Publishing needs to do is,
The printing house is required to print enough copies of "Shadow Empire" in various languages, and then stock up and promote it for various channels.

Carol has to hurry up.

……

the other side,
After talking with Carol,

Ji Zhuo also went back to the house.

"Empire of Shadows" was finished, and Ji Zhuo, who was temporarily relieved of the pressure of coding,
Reward a few game teammates at night before going to sleep.

Then Ji Zhuo, who got up early these days, slept until noon.

By noon the next day,

Ji Zhuo just received the message from Al,

Ding dong ding dong's notification sound woke Ji Zhuo up from his sleep.

"Ah~ha..."

Yawning, Ji Zhuo reached out to touch the phone,

Glancing at Penguin Chat, it was a message from Editor-in-Chief Al,
Ji Zhuo got up from the bed and sat on the edge of the bed.

"al: Mr. I, I'm really sorry.

al; The sales volume of your work "The Ordinary and the Great" was really poor yesterday, and Al Publishing has an inescapable responsibility for this.
al: We failed your trust. "

Watching Al say that "The Ordinary and the Great" sold poorly yesterday, the corner of Ji Zhuo's mouth curled up a little,
Look at what Ayer said, this is the responsibility of Ayer Publishing House,

Ji Zhuo didn't quite agree,

This is not the responsibility of Ayer Publishing House, why can't he know,

No matter how strange it is, it can't be blamed on Ayer Press.

Besides, how could Ji Zhuo be strange?

"Clumsy and uncommon: the sales are not good, it can only be that the quality of the work itself is not enough, what does it have to do with the publishing house.

Clumsy and uncommon: The editor-in-chief of Al needn't take responsibility on himself.

al: Thank you, Mr. I, for your comfort, but Mr. I, your works are good and excellent, but the work of Al Press is not in place!
al: If Al Publishing can promote it better, Mr. I, your work can shine faster, instead of going through such a trough. "

Ji Zhuo is very serious in comforting,
But Al seemed to be extraordinarily insistent.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Editor-in-Chief Al doesn't need to feel guilty, is it because of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals"?
Clumsy and uncommon: I see that the news about "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is still very lively on the Internet.

Clumsy and Uncommon: How much did "The Ordinary and the Great" actually sell yesterday? "

Al was a little moved when he saw the news of Mr. I's return.

He is indeed a little guilty, and Mr. I's words of relief now make him feel even more complicated.
Mr. I trusts Ayer Press so much that he never even blames Ayer Press for these deficiencies,

Al Press still disappointed I first,

Even so, Mr. I was still comforting him.

You know, "The Ordinary and the Great" is the work of Mr. I,

The sales of Mr. I's own works are not good, so he must feel uncomfortable.

"Al: Thank you, Mr. I, for your comfort. Al Publishing is really ashamed. Even though it may have the influence of some other works, there are still some places where the publishing house has not done enough."

Sales were poor yesterday,
Ji Zhuo had expected it a long time ago, and the popularity of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" was delayed.

As of yesterday, the impact of the popularity of "The Ordinary and the Great" has accumulated, and it must have begun to reach its peak.

The sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" must have been lower yesterday than the day before.

But now Ji Zhuo wants to know how much lower it is, whether it will drop thousands of sales in a single day,

After all, look at Al so heavy.

Ji Zhuo looked forward to it, waiting for Editor-in-Chief Al to send the sales data.

"al: I'm really sorry, Mr. I, your work "The Ordinary and the Great" sold only [-] copies yesterday."

Looking at Al's words,

Probably Al typed out this typesetting with a bit of a heavy heart,
But when Ji Zhuo looked at it, he was a little silent.

"Clumsy and uncommon: The editor-in-chief of Al is so heavy, I thought it was a drop, but it turned out that the sales volume in a single day did not increase."

Ji Zhuo was numb.

He thought something was wrong, but here it is?

This is not quite what he expected. The influence of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" reached its peak yesterday.
Shouldn't the single-day sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" drop?

The result is that it didn't rise...

How could there be so many newly added readers?

Ji Zhuo felt a little speechless.

And on the other side,
Al looked at the message sent by Mr. I, but was even more moved.

The single-day sales growth is stagnant, Mr. I is also very uncomfortable,
He still said such things in such a relaxed tone,

Just to comfort him and publish it with Al.

Mr. I is really too considerate of Ayer Press and them.

"al: Mr. I, you don't need to comfort me like this, I know you are also suffering.

al: Since the release of "The Ordinary and the Great", the single-day sales have been increasing continuously, but this growth has stagnated as of yesterday.

al: Although it has the influence of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Fairy", it is also that Al Press has not done enough.

Clumsy and uncommon:..."

Ji Zhuo was quite uncomfortable.

Under the pressure of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals", the single-day sales volume of "The Ordinary and the Great" did not drop, which made Ji Zhuo very uncomfortable.

Could it be that "The Ordinary and the Great" can't be suppressed anymore?
Could it be that the large size of "Dog Author" can no longer hold down the small vest of I.

Ji Zhuo couldn't help but a strange picture appeared in his mind,

Small I, who had been beaten all the time, suddenly grabbed the dog author's large fist.

Ok……

Ji Zhuo shook his head, and shook this strange picture out of his mind.

"Clumsy and uncommon: I'm just curious why the sales didn't drop yesterday.

Clumsy but uncommon: The popularity of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" is so high, which severely squeezes the popularity of "The Ordinary and the Great", how can there be so many new readers? "

Ji Zhuo had to figure out why the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" didn't drop yesterday.
Well, lesson learned.

"Al: Well... some of the new readers should have bought this book because of the word-of-mouth of your previous readers."

Seeing Ayer's news, Ji Zhuo nodded.

The meaning of this sentence is that some of the readers knew about "The Ordinary and the Great" before, but bought it yesterday.

After all, it is impossible to say that all readers will buy it immediately after seeing a certain recommendation, or if they are interested in the book. Maybe they saw it before and just remembered it right now, or bought it when they passed by the bookstore.

But relying on these readers alone, yesterday's sales must have dropped.

"al: In addition, the book "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" squeezed the popularity of your work, and your loyal readers also know this. They like your work, so they also work extra hard to recommend you at this time This work, I am afraid that your work will be submerged in this wave of heat."

Seeing this sentence, Ji Zhuo could only remain silent.

It is true that many readers of "The Ordinary and the Great" are also readers of the dog author. When they saw the release of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Immortals" and read the new book, they devoted all their attention to "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Immortals".

But there are also some loyal and even fanatical readers. In this case, they promote "The Ordinary and the Great" even harder.

"Al: In the end, Al Publishing also tried its best to do some promotional activities, but it was a little insignificant. In the end, it failed to keep the single-day sales growth of Mr. I's work yesterday."

Ji Zhuo looked at the last explanation sent by Al,

More silent.

I don't know what to say, it's really hard to say.

Under such circumstances, it didn't even mention that the sales volume of "The Ordinary and the Great" under I's name was completely suppressed.

But Ji Zhuo didn't return,
Al, however, did not suggest sending any more heartfelt words.

"al: Don't worry, Mr. I, the stagnation in the daily sales growth of your works will only be temporary.

al: Wait until the readership base of your work increases, and when the popularity of that work drops a bit, the daily sales of your work will definitely resume growth, and it will be faster and faster! "

The heart was stabbed severely again.

Yes,

Under the current circumstances, the sales of "The Ordinary and the Great" cannot be suppressed.
Then wait until the heat of "The Shepherd Boy Searching for Immortals" has passed,
Wouldn't that be even more cool.

The news from Al made Ji Zhuo's eyes a little confused.

He raised his head again, paused,

Immediately afterwards, Ji Zhuo cheered up again.

"The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" has passed, and "Ordinary and Great",
"The Ordinary and the Great" has passed, and there is a new book by the dog author,

It is enough to keep the daily sales volume down!

Anyway, the current single-day sales volume is still far from the current target of the system.

If this is still unbearable... then Ji Zhuo can only admit it...

However, Ji Zhuo still has some confidence in this.

Pulling himself together, Ji Zhuo turned his head again, looking at the message from Editor-in-Chief Al,
I don't feel so worried anymore.

"Clumsy and uncommon: just do your best, and your publishing house and the editor-in-chief of Al don't have to have too much pressure.

Clumsy and uncommon: If the sales are not good, it is all the responsibility of the book.

al: Thank you, Mr. I, for your comfort. Al Publishing will still do its best to publish your work.

Clumsy and Uncommon: Hmm..."

White flag country.

I ended my communication with Mr. I,
There was still a lingering touch in Al's heart,

Mr. I's trust in the publishing house, tolerance to the publishing house,
The greatness and excellence of Mr. I's works are the reasons why Ayer Press cannot back down.

These are the reasons why Ayer Press has to do its best.

Feeling a little emotional, Al then reached out and picked up "The Ordinary and the Great" beside the desk.

Now, he just thinks that Mr. I's "Ordinary and Great" can be published,
It is the most meaningful thing in his life to work hard for "The Ordinary and the Great" to fully shine.

Then wait until "The Ordinary and the Great" fully blooms its brilliance, and wait until many readers read this book,

Finally, there is a wave of reading of Mr. I's work on the Internet, so he will feel particularly fulfilled, right?
"what happened?"

Petunia next to her looked at Al holding the hand and gently rubbing the cover of "The Ordinary and the Great", she didn't know what she was thinking,
Can't help but express concern aloud.

"No, it's nothing, I'm just thinking, we must try our best to do a good job in the publication of Mr. I's work."

"Isn't it natural?"

Petunia responded with a smile, and Al smiled too.

"...By the way, Al, some bookstores that had a small purchase volume before have sent out stock orders one after another this morning, and I have already asked them to ship them from the warehouse."

All in all, although "The Ordinary and the Great" has not fully blossomed due to various reasons,

But the cumulative sales and cumulative readers seem to be in the tens of thousands.

These will be the beginning of "The Ordinary and the Great" fully blooming.

……

"Aha..."

here.magic capital.

Ji Zhuo and the editor-in-chief Al finished their chat,

But he yawned, glanced at the time, and got up to take a shower.

I finished the draft of "Shadow Empire" yesterday,
The new book under the dog author's name has not yet been written.

Taking advantage of some time, he is going to go out for a walk today.
