As a bookstore clerk, Huang Xinjie has loved reading since she was a child, otherwise she would not have worked in a bookstore.
She reads a wide range of books and basically reads all types of novels.
This time at the Fantasy Starlight Cup, there were several new books written by novelists she had read before. You could basically guess what type of work they were by just looking at the introduction.
In comparison, Huang Xinjie still prefers to read the works of new novelists, so she picked up "Fortress" and started reading.
However, the book in Huang Xinjie's hand was taken away before she could read two pages.
"Who?" Huang Xinjie's eyes widened.
"Me." The boss replied.
"Didn't you say that I can read as much as I want when I work here?" Huang Xinjie asked, the boss is her brother.
"It's not that I won't let you read it. The main reason is that there are readers who want this book." The boss shook his head.
"Today's sales are definitely the highest of the month." The boss is very satisfied with the bookstore's sales today.
After a simple calculation, the boss was shocked. He didn't expect that a newcomer's work would sell so well.
Generally, people are willing to buy another book that they have already read. For Huang Xinjie, there is only one situation, that is, the book is really good and worth putting on the bookshelf.
As for another work by a new novelist, its sales volume ranks ninth among the ten novels, and the gap is still quite far.
Then he handed this copy of "Magic City Fortress" to another reader.
But as a bookstore employee, it is impossible for her to buy books.
"Which book sells the best?" Huang Xinjie asked curiously.
Huang Xinjie let out a sigh of relief as she looked at the slightly rolled paperback.
"If this were not a special case in our bookstore, the album might become the new star this year!" Huang Xinjie said.
However, what surprised Huang Xinjie was that this reader actually selected an unopened copy of "Magic City Fortress" and "Daytime" to check out.
A newcomer's work sold more than 50,000 copies in less than 24 hours on the first day of publication.
During the rehearsal, Jiang Yuan was actually in pretty good condition, but the buffs from the system treasure chest really only took effect during the official performance.
The traffic of Fantasy Starlight Cup is indeed very high, and basically every copy is a best-seller, but in comparison, some sell more and some sell less.
But unfortunately, it was intercepted.
"What about "Fortress of the Magic City"?" Huang Xinjie raised the book in her hand.
A total of ten books have been opened for readers to try, which is a lot.
Finally, she saw that the first reader had put down "Fortress of the Magic City", and this reader had already finished reading it, achieving the achievement of successfully finishing a new book in a bookstore for free.
The reading experience of "Fortress" was not shocking to her, but it was definitely a enjoyable read.
"You also know how to pay attention to the situation in the store." The boss smiled.
She stopped reading after reading two pages just now, which made her desire to watch "Fortress" extremely strong now.
The Rookie King is not an official award. It generally refers to the novelist who debuted in the first year and the author who has the highest sales volume of his debut work.
"Brother, how are the book sales today?" Huang Xinjie looked at the boss and asked.
As editor-in-chief, Yang Chao also received the report.
She would not regret buying this book, and she also wrote down the author's name on the album page.
Being able to produce a work of this caliber for her first novel makes Huang Xinjie feel that this novelist has a promising future.
"This one is the work of that new novelist, right? It's selling pretty well. Most of the readers who stayed to read it read this one, and the trial copy was almost torn."
"It's very possible." The boss nodded.
After the rehearsal, music director Ma Zhuo looked at Jiang Yuan and frowned.
"Of course it's Chen Su's "White Day". Many readers just picked up the book and bought it without even reading it," the boss said.
If possible, he hopes that every day will be the day when the Starlight Cup preliminary works are published.
My eyes were fixed on the third place, "Magic City Fortress" with 56,733 copies.
Ma Zhuo shook his head. In the end, he could only classify Jiang Yuan's last stage performance as an extraordinary performance. It is impossible for Jiang Yuan to perform extraordinary in every episode.
You know, trial copies are generally not sold in stores.
"I feel like the sales volume can rank among the top three among these ten books." The boss thought about it and said.
As expected, being able to pass the preliminary round of the Fantasy Starlight Cup as a rookie is indeed of a certain level.
Finally, unable to resist the temptation, Huang Xinjie stepped forward and purchased an unopened copy of "Magic City Fortress".
"Daytime" is undoubtedly the best-selling one, but apart from that, "Fortress", a newcomer's work, is either second or third in sales.
Only then did Huang Xinjie discover that in the bustling bookstore, there were about twenty readers stopping in front of the bookshelves to try out the books, ten of them were reading "Fortress of the Magic City".
Yuedian Library also counted the sales of the Starlight Cup preliminary works before 6 p.m.
These readers basically spent more than half an hour reading it. Huang Xinjie's eyes widened on the side.
You should know that the works published by other selected authors are generally considered best-sellers, and their standards are still high.
But this time in the rehearsal, Jiang Yuan's performance was similar to before. Although he had a good handle on emotion, he still had many shortcomings in technique.
These people wouldn't want to finish this book for nothing in a bookstore, right?
Huang Xinjie lay on the counter and began to observe.
This made Huang Xinjie even more curious, and she was ready to take over the trial book that had been read completely once.
You can't deliberately hide your clumsiness during rehearsals, right? Ma Zhuo doesn't quite understand.
Therefore, the rehearsal reflects Jiang Yuan's true level.
While the preliminary works for the Fantasy Starlight Cup were selling well, Jiang Yuan was rehearsing the new episode of "Love Song Concert" in the studio.
Opening the book cover, Huang Xinjie was immersed in the pages with the light.
This result is very good, and it can be said that he has the qualifications of a newbie.
For more than two hours, the pages kept turning, and Huang Xinjie finally closed the book.
Maybe it can pass the final selection of the Starlight Cup, and it may not be released in a hardcover collection.
In the last competition, Ma Zhuo was amazed by Jiang Yuan's performance, which was much better than during the rehearsal.
If she hadn't known it in advance, she would never have believed that the author named Album was a newcomer.
In fact, this is not a special case of Shuguang Bookstore. The situation is basically the same in other bookstores in Shanghai.
Seeing that "Fortress" was ranked third, Yang Chao was in a better mood than seeing "Daytime" ranked first.
Because this shows that Yuedian Library has successfully discovered a new novelist.
Yang Chao thought for a while and sent Jiang Yuan the first-day sales volume of "Magic City Fortress".
