"ABC Murder" was very popular even before it was officially published.
On the one hand, it is due to the word-of-mouth influence of the previous work in the series "Roger's Mystery"; on the other hand, it is the hot search that Jiang Yuan and Tang Lan had previously forwarded and promoted by chance. It was an extremely brilliant marketing hype, which made this book greatly popular.
Made a circle.
Before the novel was released, a group of readers got a preview copy in advance, and many high-quality book reviews of Amway's new book have been published on the Internet.
With word-of-mouth and popularity soaring, on the day it was officially launched, the title of "ABC Murder" directly landed on the hot search list, causing quite a heated discussion.
[The novel that both Jiang Yuan and Tang Lan like is now on the market!]
[Is this novel good? Why did it suddenly become a hot search topic? 】
[If you have watched "Roger's Mystery", you probably won't ask this question! For the new Poirot series, just rush it and you're done!]
[@江元, have you seen it? 】
[I want to see Jiang Yuan and Tang Lan’s thoughts after reading, hahaha!]
[I’m standing guard in the square, don’t let me see spoilers!]
[A new author who has debuted for more than a year, can his marketing be so strong? 】
[There really is no marketing, and the information cocoon is in a cocoon. The first two mystery works have exploded like that. They are expected to be nominated for many awards next year. Isn’t the popularity of the new book normal? 】
There are all kinds of discussions on the hot search forum, but no matter what, the popularity is indeed rising, especially on the first day of the new book's release, which is very beneficial to the growth of sales.
Compared with traditional social platforms, discussions in reasoning forums are much purer.
Although the forum has many members, it is not very active in normal times. There may be hundreds of posts in a day.
But on the day "ABC Murder" was released, it completely revitalized the forum's traffic.
In one morning, hundreds of related posts have been added.
There are various posts such as recommending Amway, asking about word-of-mouth, discussing plots, posting orders, going to bookstores to buy books, and people not being able to buy books at bookstores.
Although "ABC Murder" started pre-sales before it was released, it did not officially start distribution until the day of release.
Even readers who are very close to the warehouse can only ensure that they receive express delivery on the day of listing.
Therefore, more readers who want to read books in advance choose to go to offline bookstores in advance to buy books.
In the parallel world of Blue Star, the bookstore industry is still relatively prosperous. Some big-brand chain bookstores, in addition to cultural and creative coffee, also sell records and albums.
Moreover, some popular new books and albums will be specially produced with corresponding special peripherals and limited edition gifts, and some books will be designed with exclusive editions for bookstores, attracting traffic to bookstores.
In addition, most of Blue Star's publications are subject to price controls on the e-commerce platform, which reduces the cost of purchasing goods in offline bookstores and also provides certain discounts based on the book pricing.
Therefore, readers who visit bookstores on weekdays usually take a few books with them before leaving.
This time "ABC Murder" is on the market, major bookstores have also cooperated with Wenku to produce many peripherals and activities.
For example, one of the bookstores’ activities was inspired by the preview letter in the novel and planned a corresponding puzzle game. Only readers who successfully solved the puzzle could receive peripheral bonuses, which greatly increased the interaction with readers.
Chen Su also came to the bookstore near his home on this day.
I was a little emotional when I saw the scene in the bookstore. Even though it was a weekend, the flow of people in the bookstore was obviously much more than usual.
The reason is also very clear. Chen Su saw the display sign outside the bookstore, which was Poirot's one-to-one standing sign.
The slogan on the side is also very conspicuous - "International Mystery Rising Star Album, the new Poirot series "ABC Murder" is launched."
Below the slogan is the corresponding activity description in the store.
Chen Su stood at the door and looked around, unable to help but feel envious.
Which writer wouldn't want to have publicity on this scale.
At the same time, Chen Su couldn't help but think back to the Fantasy Starlight Cup gold medal he finally won last year. Now when he compares it, he always feels lonely after winning.
But Chen Su also quickly thought that when the author of the album becomes more and more popular in the future, he can mention the Starlight Cup when he goes out and say that he is the gold medal winner that year.
With this in mind, Chen Su walked into the store.
He had received a trial copy before, and he had already read it once. It still amazed him just like the previous work, and he was now planning to buy a new one for his collection.
The new book was placed in the most conspicuous place. Chen Su's envy rose again as he approached.
What was supposed to be a tall pile of books has been sold down to the last dozen or so books.
Large bookstores have sufficient stocks of this kind of best-selling book. Even with the bonus of the special ceremony, if it can sell like this, basically the number of book fans is definitely not small.
Chen Su took a copy and went to the checkout counter to pay. The feature of direct gift was already sold out.
However, there were still bonuses for the puzzle-solving activities, but Chen Su declined and did not intend to participate.
He just read the rules of the event clearly at the door of the store. Readers participating in the event need to give answers within three minutes without the help of others or the Internet.
Chen Su had no confidence in his reasoning ability and chose to give up, but there were many readers trying it in the store.
Such scenes were staged in many bookstores of the same brand.
However, some bookstores in small counties did not have much stock and were already sold out. Even the trial copies were sold out.
For a moment, the popularity of "ABC Murder" was like the scene that had just been filmed on the monitor.
At this time, Jiang Yuan was confirming the effect of the shooting just now. If the effect was not good, he would have to do it again.
I didn’t feel anything during the filming process. On the contrary, when I looked back at the filming content, I felt a little embarrassed for the two of them.
The combination of the picture and the sound is indeed a bit ambiguous.
After Wang Xicun finished appreciating this paragraph, his face turned slightly red.
It's not entirely out of embarrassment. If he were alone, Wang Xicun might watch it again and again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But now Jiang Yuan is at the side, and He Jing is still making various comments about where the kiss is good, how to invest, and small details to add points.
etc.
Listening to such comments and looking at the picture, it was indeed a bit embarrassing, and Jiang Yuan was also embarrassed.
Fortunately, after watching it again, He Jing clapped his hands and said affirmatively, "It's great. This section is perfect. This is the end of the daytime shooting!"
After saying that, he left the room with the photographer, leaving Jiang Yuan with his eyes wide open.
Outside the door, Xia Chunhua saw He Jing appearing and stepped forward to see the footage shot by the two.
He Jing was also familiar with Xia Chunhua, so he showed them directly.
The first thing Xia Chunhua saw was the version with guidance. He Jing's narration gave Xia Chunhua some comfort. At least the material alone still had a filming atmosphere.
"Is this a finished film?" Xia Chunhua asked curiously after reading this part. After all, the two of them ended up having a laugh in the first time.
He Jing thought for two seconds and nodded affirmatively, "Yes, the mv only takes about ten seconds!"
Xia Chunhua nodded, while He Jing was lost in thought, wondering how to edit.
After all, the content of more than one minute was very good in He Jing's opinion.
While He Jing was communicating with Xia Chunhua, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yuan were left in the room, looking at each other.
For some reason, He Jing closed the door when he went out.
As soon as the person left, the air in the room seemed to become more subtle.
Jiang Yuan's eyes couldn't help but linger on Wang Xicun's pink lips for a moment, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"What are you thinking about?" Wang Xicun looked at each other and asked softly.
"The lipstick seems to have lost some color and is not very even." Jiang Yuan replied in a low voice.
Wang Xicun also took a look at Jiang Yuan's lips, which were evenly stained with lipstick.
So he pursed his lips and said, "Same for you."
After saying that, the feelings just now also emerged in my mind.
Under such a situation, the eyes looking at each other are like travelers in the desert seeing an oasis. There is some invisible gravity that attracts each other.
Like a small flame falling on the lead.
As the cruise ship sailed on the sea, the ocean seemed to turn pink.
The fragrance of strawberry lipstick, the light in my hair, my mind gradually goes blank.
Until it becomes difficult to breathe, until the lip color becomes even...until the sea water turns blue...
Five minutes later, Jiang Yuan and the others opened the door, just when Xia Chunhua asked He Jing why they hadn't come out yet.
"We were chatting just now." He Jing nodded in the direction of the two of them.
Xia Chunhua turned around, glanced suspiciously, and continued her conversation with He Jing.
On the deck, Jiang Yuan and Wang Xicun leaned against the railing and gradually calmed down under the sea breeze.
Jiang Yuan took a brief moment to relax and began to think.
Although I have kissed before, whether there is a camera or not is obviously a different matter.
At the same time, the principles of scumbags began to appear in my mind. No, scumbags have no principles.
But theory is one thing. Jiang Yuan feels that it has not reached this point yet. He has principles.
So he hesitated and said, "Just now..."
Wang Xicun blinked when he heard this, but calmed down faster than Jiang Yuan, "You should think clearly before speaking. Don't get carried away for the moment. For the time being, just treat it as filming."
In Wang Xicun's view, the last love process was the product of some kind of impulse.
It has been proven in the past that such a relationship is immature and cannot last long, and she does not want to make the same mistakes again.
However, when he mentioned just now, Wang Xicun's face still turned slightly red, and a subtle sense of tension lingered in his heart.
Jiang Yuan was interrupted and hesitated for a while. Just when he was about to say something, Lu Qing came over from a distance.
"I heard that you have finished filming, do you want to play mahjong together?" Lu Qing asked.
Today, in addition to shooting the music video, it was also a team building event at Jiang Yuan Studio.
Lu Qing had just finished a tour and was called over when he had nothing to do.
Faced with the invitation to play mahjong, Wang Xicun readily agreed to take Jiang Yuan with him.
In addition to Lu Qing, the other person was Deng Ge, and the four of them gathered at the table.
The mahjong game started, and Jiang Yuan and his two men's attention was instantly diverted, temporarily forgetting what had just happened, or in other words, it was automatically saved.
Although Jiang Yuan doesn't play mahjong much in real life, he does play mahjong games on his mobile phone a lot.
So under the guidance of three people, I got started quickly and experienced the fun of mahjong.
The time during the day passed so quickly.
Before I knew it, the sunset filled the sky.
Jiang Yuan took out his camera and took a few pictures and recorded them, and then night fell completely.
The arrival of night is the official start of this team building.
During the day, everyone was more about entertaining themselves, and in the evening, a special dinner was prepared.
However, during the dinner, Jiang Yuan and others also shot a short period of footage before engaging in the dinner.
After the dinner, there was the last relatively long scene, the cruise ship dance.
Members of the orchestra played music, and pairs of male and female dancers danced to the music.
The central position was vacated.
The camera seat had been set up, and Jiang Yuan extended his hand to Wang Xicun, who was wearing a formal dress.
Regarding the design of this section, He Jing's idea was that the two of them would dance directly and completely, and then he would edit it into the MV.
As the music played, Jiang Yuan took Wang Xicun's hand, hugged his waist and started dancing.
With the help of bnce skills, Jiang Yuan learned this dance very quickly.
Although Wang Xicun is not very skilled in dancing, he can keep up with the rhythm under Jiang Yuan's leadership.
It's unskilled to follow step by step, but it just fits the setting in the mv.
During the dance, fireworks bloomed on the sea.
Shining dazzlingly, just like Jiang Yuan and Wang Xicun under the light.
Many staff at the scene could not help but feel a little intoxicated when they saw such a scene.
It's really too much like an idol drama plot.
The camera faithfully recorded all this, which made He Jing very satisfied.
The dance is over and the MV is officially finished.
Over the past few days, He Jing was filming this MV, no matter what the basics or how romantic it was.
A complete idol drama, like a complete love process, very enjoyable.
After the MV was officially completed, the dance continued, which to a certain extent was a celebration of the MV's completion.
At the same time, due to the time difference, the English version of "ABC Murder" was published about ten hours later than in China.
Compared with the large-scale domestic propaganda, the scale of foreign propaganda is still smaller.
There are only some authors from the same publishing house who have endorsed and published the article, as well as word-of-mouth fermentation caused by the tap water of some mystery enthusiasts.
But even so, "ABC Murder" successfully ranked among the most popular searches on the book-purchasing platform on the day it was released.
Some important offline bookstores have also hung up promotional posters and placed new books in conspicuous positions.
At the same time, in the same way as the previous promotion of "Roger Mystery", pop-up activities were also arranged in several central bookstores.
Carl, who is also a mystery writer, also took out the physical book of "ABC Murder" on this day.
Although he had recommended it on the Internet before, he had not actually started reading it because he was busy writing a new book a while ago.
To a certain extent, it can be said that "Roger Mystery" inspired some inspiration.
So after seeing the advertisement, Carl immediately found the book, opened the title page, and was quickly attracted by the independent chapter description at the beginning.
