The Great Era of Rebirth: 1993

   Chapter 238, Highlight Moment (please subscribe!)

   Tao Ge said, "You should know that Chen Lao's "White Deer Plain" was published by People's Literature.

   It's just that people's literature had no experience in this area last year, and the publicity work was not done well, so the sales of "White Deer Plain" in the early stage were not high.

   At that time, the first order of "White Deer Plain" in Xinhua Bookstore was only 800 volumes, and the last first edition was only 14,851 volumes. "

   After saying this, Tao Ge paused, and then there was a naughty taste in his elegant tone:

   "Guess, how many copies of "Wind Sound" were ordered for the first time in Xinhua Bookstore?"

   Zhang Xuan pondered for a while and guessed: "Are there 5,000 copies?"

   Tao Ge laughed and didn't answer.

   Zhang Xuan raised his voice a bit and continued: "10,000 volumes?"

  Tao Ge still laughs, the laughter is small but very unique and very pleasant.

   Zhang Xuan was a little nervous and guessed again: "Is there 15,000 copies?"

  Tao Ge spoke this time, saying, "Be bolder."

   Zhang Xuan's little heart twitched suddenly, feeling sweat on his forehead, and asked tightly, "Don't tell me it's over 20,000?"

  Tao Ge congratulated: "Please be confident. It's not just over 20,000. The final data I got yesterday morning was 28,789 volumes."

  28789? ? ?

  28789! ! !

   Zhang Xuan was stunned, thinking he heard it right.

   The first subscription directly exceeded 8789 copies of the first print!

  This is scary!

  Zhang Xuan's head was in a mess, and he was a little confused. He confirmed it again: "Is there really so many?"

  Tao Ge said in a very positive tone: "Of course. When you got the data, I was also shocked.

   Not only was I startled, but so was Editor-in-Chief Hong. He was pleasantly surprised when he said that 28789 was the first time that People's Literature had ever collected the best data.

   After reading the subscription data and the market research report, editor-in-chief Hong made a decision on the spot and decided to follow the propaganda strategy of last year's "Abandoned Capital".

   This is also the reason why "Wind Sound" can be seen in national newspapers today. "

   Zhang Xuan didn't make a sound for the first time, he felt a little excited now, his heart was beating so fast that everyone was about to suffocate.

   is awesome!

   What a **** bull!

   After a while, Zhang Xuan sorted out his emotions and pretended to be calm and asked, "Is it printed?"

   Tao Ge replied: "Added."

   Zhang Xuan asked: "How many volumes were added?"

  Tao Ge said: "50,000 copies have been printed, ready to be printed again at any time."

   Then, without waiting for Zhang Xuan to reply, he asked jokingly, "The physical book will be available in three days, are you nervous?"

   After being provoked a while ago, Zhang Xuan has calmed down a lot, and then laughed:

   "With our relationship, I'm not too lazy to be hypocritical. If I say I'm not nervous, it's definitely false.

   But to be honest, I am now on fire with your four-point hype, and it is difficult to ride a tiger.

  Especially your fourth point of distorting the facts, which is disgusting.

  I guess, if the final sales data is not as good as "White Deer Plain" and "Waste City", I guess I will be sprayed to death with saliva! "

"Ha ha…"

  Tao Ge laughed again, "Then are you afraid?"

   Zhang Xuan touched his forehead, and said with the look of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, "I'm still young, what am I afraid of? Not afraid."

   Tao Ge said: "Do you know how many copies of "Waste Capital" were printed for the first time last year?"

   Zhang Xuan used his brain to recall, and he felt that there should be a lot, but he couldn't remember the specific data, and it was a little vague.

   asked, "How much?"

   Tao Ge told him: "170,000 copies, the first print of "Abandoned Capital" 170,000 copies. Bailuyuan sold more than 600,000 copies last year."

  “…”

   Zhang Xuan was silenced.

  Although it has long been known that Bailuyuan and Waste City are selling well, this data is really scary.

   After waiting for a long time, seeing that he was silent, Tao Ge asked with a smile, "Are you scared?"

"how is this possible?"

   Zhang Xuan replied unwillingly, and said: "I was thinking just now that their pure literary novels are selling so well, so what about my "wind sound" with a very strong storytelling?

  I have confidence in myself. "

  It’s all like this, I’ve seen the newspapers, there’s no turning back, you must have confidence in yourself!

   "Yes, you should have confidence." Tao Ge agreed with this point of view, and then whispered:

   "Sister, let me tell you something, people's literature held a "wind sound" seminar last night.

The    conference finally came to the conclusion that in terms of literary attainments, "Wind Sound" may not be as good as "White Deer Plain" and "Abandoned Capital".

   But in terms of storytelling and appeal to young people, it beats those two books. Therefore, we are all optimistic about the market conditions of "Wind Sound". "

  Look at this, it's really beautiful.

   However, Zhang Xuan has a steel scale in his heart, and also believes that the literary value of "Wind Sound" is not necessarily comparable to that of "White Deer Plain" and "Abandoned Capital".

   But it doesn't matter, I'm still holding the "lurking" in my hand.

   He regards "lurking" as a big killer.

   He had already thought about it, "Wind Sound" grabbed the market and made a name for himself.

   "Lake" is responsible for shutting up those people. If you can, you will also be responsible for winning prizes.

   When Zhang Xuan was thinking about lurking to win the award, Tao Ge seemed to have a feeling and lowered his voice and said, "People's Literature is considering sending "Bailuyuan" to participate in the Mao Dun Literature Award."

   The fluttering sentence revealed too much information, and Zhang Xuan felt his heart tighten when he heard it.

   Tao Ge's meaning Zhang Xuan understands that resources are limited. If people's literature favors "Bai Luyuan" for the Mao Dun Literature Award, it will be very unfavorable to me.

   This is just like the Western elections for the general/// general election. Only one general//// general candidate will be elected within a country. Otherwise, too many candidates will easily lead to four dissimilarities, distracting energy and wasting resources.

   But an objective analysis, according to the selection criteria of Mao Dun Literature Award, the wind may not be enough.

   This may also be the case that people's literature is touting the "Wind Voice" in the market, but betting on "White Deer Plain" in the awards.

  To be honest, Zhang Xuan respected Lao Chen in his previous life, and "White Deer Plain" also lived up to the public's expectations and reached the top.

This is where the    problem arises. The road to the election of "White Deer Plain" can be described as twists and turns, and has been tossing for several years.

   The reason is its open "sex" and some big guys don't like it.

   Zhang Xuan was thinking, if People's Literature is eager to bet on "White Deer Plain" now, it is doomed that the resources of the next few years will have to be folded on it.

   If so, what about "lurking" novels?

   Could it be delayed and waited for ten or eight years?

   Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan felt a pain in the ass.

   Mao Dun Literary Award, he loves it too, he has already taken this step, how could he not have the slightest ambition?

   After ten or eight years, he couldn't wait, but he couldn't help it. He couldn't control other people's decisions.

   He is not qualified to sway people's decisions.

   Sighing silently, Zhang Xuan finally tried his best and said to Tao Ge, "I am currently writing a novel."

   They are all smart people, and they know the meaning of elegance when they hear the strings. Tao Ge immediately asked: "How does it compare to the "wind sound"?"

   Zhang Xuan said directly: "This is a work that I put my heart and soul into."

  Tao Ge understood it in seconds, Zhang Xuan thought he was better than "Wind Sound", listening to his tone, it might be much better.

   Now Tao Ge is interested and asks, "How many words are there?"

   Zhang Xuan said: "Almost 240,000 words."

   Tao Ge's eyes widened a bit, "When do you expect the book to be finished?"

   Zhang Xuan thought about it and told her: "It's almost summer vacation, maybe in August."

   Hearing the sensitive month of August, Tao Ge was silent for a while, then said: "August is fine, but don't delay September."

  October is the month for the triennial Mao Dun Literature Award. Zhang Xuan understood what Tao Ge meant.

   said very sincerely: "Thank you."

  Tao Ge said with a smile: "I just recommend trying it, but I'm soft-spoken, so don't expect too much. As long as your work is good, it won't work this time, and there will be opportunities in the future. This time the worst can leave a lead."

  Zhang Xuan laughed, no longer bothered about this, and instead said: "Next time I come to the capital to invite you to dinner."

  Tao Ge did not refuse, "Okay, sister wait."

Hey! this girl.

   Invisibly called himself "sister". If I remember correctly, today is the second time calling you "sister", right?

   He pretended not to hear, not to brush the good intentions of the big thick legs, and chatted enthusiastically for another half an hour before the two ended the call.

   Putting the red receiver back in its original position, Zhang Xuan began to sit in a daze.

   In fact, he didn't expect "hidden" novels to catch up with this award feast.

  In that case, he still said it.

The reason for    is to make people's literature feel that it owes it to itself, so that it can make up for itself and support itself in the future.

  Hey, living in the midst of this red dust, you are shallow in the literary world. If you can create some opportunities, you have to be cheeky to create opportunities.

  Don't be polite, otherwise there is little hope!

  ps: I was stunned by the spray during this time, and I have eased my mood these two days.

   Don't spray me in the future. Starting today, try to restore to the previous 6000 words.

   But it's New Year's Eve, there are indeed many things to do, please understand.

ps: In addition, the plane testament incident, the parachute incident, the information found on Zhihu, posted the screenshots in the comment area in March, you can take a look, there is absolutely no randomness in March, but there is also a lack of consideration, but please also ask your subordinates Show mercy.
