Chapter 22 This is a work of art

The online sales time of "Once Upon a Time" has been finalized.

Nine o'clock in the morning the next day.

It was released at the same time as Chen Guang's "Elf Forest".

At 6 p.m., the recommended spot in the Shanhai Bookstore online store will be changed, and the big picture on the homepage of Chen Guang's "Elf Forest" will be promoted.

The social media accounts of Shanhai Publishing House have also begun to warm up, and various promotions are flying everywhere.

"The new work "Elf Forest" by the master of fairy tales Chen Guang is coming! It will go on sale at 9 o'clock tomorrow!"

"Two years of polishing, a masterpiece of ingenuity! Master Chen's "Elf Forest", please look forward to it!"

And "Once Upon a Time" only has a miserable text recommendation.

Newbies and masters!

This treatment is not even the slightest bit worse.

As soon as the news of the release of Chen Guang's new work came out, netizens immediately became excited.

“Finally I’ve been waiting for Master Chen’s new book.”

"My daughter especially likes Master Chen's fairy tales... I have bought all of Master Chen's works, but after reading them, my daughter still clamored to buy new ones. Now she has them."

"Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, so I'll get up early and go to Shanhai Bookstore to queue up."

"Why wait in line? Just buy online."

"Are you sure you can get it online? Every time Master Chen's new book is released, doesn't the online store sell it out in seconds?"

"Okay... let's wait in line! At least if you're at the front, you still have a chance to grab it. Hey, queue up and grab it online at the same time. It's a two-pronged approach."

"Hey, I actually want to buy a collection of Andersen's fairy tales, but why doesn't this guy publish a book? His fairy tales are obviously very popular."

"I also feel that now my daughter wants me to tell you about Snow White every day...I'm tired of talking about it. It would be great if there was a picture book for her to read by herself."

"It's a pity there isn't, hey..."

I don’t know who started it. Under the promotion of "Elf Forest", mothers actually started to discuss Andersen and his fairy tales.

As he was talking, someone suddenly said:

"Surprise! Surprise! I saw a collection of Andersen's fairy tales!!! It's hanging on Shanhai Bookstore's online store, and it's called "Fairy Tale Town""

"real or fake?"

"Can this be fake? I read the introduction, and it clearly states that it contains "Snow White", "Little Red Riding Hood" and other Andersen's popular fairy tales! This is the link entrance!"

"It really is!"

"Once Upon a Time, such an interesting title."

"It will also be sold simultaneously online and offline! It's decided! I have to get up early tomorrow no matter what and queue up! Master Chen and Andersen! I want both!"

"Great!! But Andersen is too miserable, right? He's just a mosquito-legged recommendation. Compared with Master Chen, the treatment is far behind."

"I want to tell my friends the good news."

Moms have a strong desire to share.

Not only do they show off their babies, but they also form a group of mothers to share their parenting experiences, or simply gossip.

For a time, people in many sister groups and mothers' groups began to rush to tell each other.

"Sisters! Hans Christian Andersen's collection of fairy tales "Once Upon a Time" will be released tomorrow. Do you want to form a group and line up to buy it?"

"Moms, Hans Christian Andersen has finally published a book. Do you want to make an appointment to grab it together tomorrow?"

"My daughter has been saying for a long time that she must go."

"I happened to be buying Master Chen's "Elf Forest", so I bought it together."

The news that "Once Upon a Time" will be released tomorrow spread like wildfire.

It is widely discussed in the mother circle.

However, the scope of communication is still very limited, and most mothers still don’t know about the release of “Once Upon a Time”.

Compared with the overwhelming publicity effect of "Elf Forest", it is completely different.

But Su Chen didn't pay much attention to all this.

At the moment, he is having dinner at home with his wife and daughter.

"Dad, I want to go to the amusement park tomorrow and Saturday." Su Xiaoxi said, "Dou Dou went to ride the Ferris wheel last week, and I want to go too... Hehe, I also want to eat ice cream."

"Then dad and mom will take you to play tomorrow." Su Chen and his wife looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding.



the next day.

The day when fairy tale master Chen Guang's new works "The Forest" and Hans Christian Andersen's "Once Upon a Time" are released.

"Elf Forest" is Chen Guang's work. It is not only sold through the online and offline channels of Shanhai Bookstore, but also sold by Xinhua Bookstore and many private bookstores.

It is not comparable to "Fairy Tale Town" which is only trial-sold through Shanhai Bookstore channels.

Early in the morning, there were long queues at major bookstores.

While waiting in line.

While holding their mobile phones and waiting for the online store to start selling, the mothers chatted with the mothers in front and behind them.

"I came here at six o'clock, but I didn't expect to be so far in the queue."

"After all, it is Master Chen Guang's new work, and it is a sincere work that has been carefully prepared for two years. Of course there are many people."

"What should I do if the queue is sold out later?"

"What else can I do? Just consider yourself unlucky... Well, let's see if you can get it online. Anyway, I haven't gotten it."

"I asked my husband to go to another bookstore to queue up, and at the same time two people grabbed it online, a four-pronged approach."

"If you can't get "Elf Forest", just buy "Once Upon a Time". "Once Upon a Time" shouldn't be that popular."

"Well... I hope so. But Andersen's fairy tales are very popular recently, so there should be a lot of people buying them. Anyway, I want to buy them."

Everyone lined up and chatted.

The time is slowly approaching nine o'clock.

Moms and dads are sitting in front of the computer, holding their mobile phones, or waiting in line, and they all become nervous.

Ten...nine...eight...

The countdown has started on the sales page of the "Elf Forest" online store.

zero!!!

When the countdown reached zero, the purchase button changed from gray to red, and countless mothers and fathers rushed in. The page suddenly froze.

"I can't get in..."

"Stuck on the payment page."

“I keep spinning around in circles, but I can’t jump to the payment page.”

"What the hell? Are you so hot?"

In order to grab "Elf Forest", everyone's blood pressure instantly went up. The page was turned and turned, and finally it came out, but everyone was dumbfounded.

sold out!!!

"This!! It just stuck! Damn it, it's sold out?"

"Three hundred thousand copies were gone in an instant?"

"That's crazy!"

"This is Master Chen Guang's appeal! How terrifying!"

"Forget it, forget it! Let's just buy it offline. If you don't have a 6G phone, you can't get it."

“Go watch Once Upon a Time”

So many people searched for "Once Upon a Time".

Compared with the 300,000 copies of "Elf Forest" sold online, only 30,000 copies of "Fairy Tale Town" are on sale, and the other 20,000 copies are distributed in Shanhai Bookstore's offline stores.

At this time, "Once Upon a Time" had sold only 10,000 copies.

There are still 20,000 volumes in stock.

"Fortunately, no one snatched "Once Upon a Time"."

"Uh...Andersen wants to beat you to death after hearing this. What do you mean no one is robbing Fairy Tale Town? It seems like Andersen's fairy tales can't be sold."

"It's true that it didn't sell well. Look, how long has it been before we sold 10,000 copies?"

"Is 10,000 copies very few? Andersen has just made his debut recently, so it can be considered a debut...Comparing him with a master like Chen Guang, there is no comparison. But 10,000 copies is also very powerful, right? And Andersen also

There wasn’t much publicity. Master Chen Guang’s publicity was overwhelming.”

"Yes, then I will buy a copy of "Once Upon a Time" to support the miserable Andersen."

At the same time, offline bookstores have also started selling it.

Like a long line of ‘readers’ pouring into various bookstores.

In order to prevent booksellers from queuing up to grab books, each bookstore stipulates that each person can purchase a maximum of two copies of "Elf Forest".

Offline "Elf Forest" also saw crazy buying scenes.

There are only 20,000 copies of "Once Upon a Time" offline.

Sales are mainly concentrated at Shanhai Bookstore in Kyoto.

This book is not available in bookstores elsewhere such as Xiangmo.

When mothers in Kyoto rushed to buy "Elf Forest", they also bought "Once Upon a Time" home.

Twenty thousand copies were quickly sold out.

"Is there another Once Upon a Time?"

"No more. There are still 20,000 copies in the online store. You can order them online."

At the same time, "Once Upon a Time" is not available in bookstores across the country.

People also ask, "Is there a "Once Upon a Time"?"

"No." The boss and salesperson could only explain patiently. "I have never heard of the book "Once Upon a Time"."

"It's Andersen's fairy tale."

"Who is Andersen?"

"Boss!!! Don't you watch the live broadcast and hot searches? It's the fairy tale king Andersen who is very popular recently!"

"I don't understand."

"..."

"Elf Forest" sold online and offline one million copies on the first day and sold out quickly.

Major media outlets rushed to report on it.

"Master Chen's "Elf Forest" was online within a second, and the online store was sold out!"

"On the first day of release! One million copies of "Elf Forest" were sold nationwide in one hour!"

Master Chen and his "Elf Forest" shine brightly.

But Andersen and "Once Upon a Time" seemed dim at this moment, and even seemed to have been forgotten.

On the Internet, readers and mothers are shouting:

"@山海书社! Hurry up and print "Elf Forest", I didn't get it!"

"I'm asking for "Elf Forest" at a high price. Is there any friend who bought two copies? Give me one copy. I didn't get it, and my daughter cried."

There are a lot of discussions about "Elf Forest".

Chen Guang and "Elf Forest" were trending on Weibo.

The scenery is unparalleled.

Shanhai Publishing House.

The editor-in-chief showed the sales data to Canghai: "One million copies of "Elf Forest" were sold out in half an hour! Do you know Master Chen's appeal now? Look at "Once Upon a Time", which is your Andersen.

How long has it been? There are still 20,000 copies left in the online store...I said 100,000 copies, but you insist on printing 250,000 copies. Tell me, how will you sell them now?"

Canghai was choked to the point of being speechless.

After a long while, he said: ""Once Upon a Time" is very good. I believe it will definitely open up sales... The reason why it sells so well is because there is a lack of marketing publicity both online and offline. As long as there is a little publicity and notification, I believe it will sell quickly.

He will get up."

"Are you asking me for promotion funds?" the editor-in-chief said angrily, "I've already invested so much money, and you want me to throw in promotion funds? Impossible! Not even a penny!"

"Then..." Canghai was speechless.

"I don't care what method you use! It doesn't matter if you sell it at a discount or by weight! There are still 200,000 copies of "Once Upon a Time" left! You have to sell me back the cost! Okay, let's go down."

Canghai wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and left the editor-in-chief's office.

at the same time.

The first group of mothers to buy "Once Upon a Time" in offline stores have already returned home.

When Zhang Ying returned home, her three-year-old daughter immediately came to greet her. "Mom, Mom! Have you bought Uncle Andersen's "Once Upon a Time"?"

"I bought it, I bought it."

"I want to watch it now. Mom will watch it with me."

So Zhang Ying hugged her daughter on the sofa and took out the newly bought "Fairy Tale Town".

"I want to see Snow White first," said her daughter Nuo Nuo.

"good."

Zhang Ying turned to the page of "Snow White".

In an instant, an extremely exquisite painting page appeared before our eyes. Snow White was extremely beautiful, her skin, her eyes, her nose, her lips, her skirt...

Every detail deeply shocked Zhang Ying.

"Is this a picture book?" Zhang Ying's head was buzzing, "Is it a work of art?"

She had only seen such exquisite paintings at art exhibitions!
