After making many small moves and jumping up and down to provoke, the opponent finally responded. He excitedly opened the opponent's blog to watch, but what he posted was completely unrelated news!
Isn't this too insulting?
Even if Wen Ying's blog only updates a "Hello everyone", it is better than recommending an inexplicable book!
Bao Lixin took a closer look and found that he also knew the author of the book "Elopement at Dawn", the abominable Song Foxiang - Song Foxiang was such a shameless person. When Bao Lixin was working at Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House, Song Foxiang was
Foxiang often antagonized Bao Lixin as a small editor, and he attacked Bao Lixin several times in a strange manner!
Although Bao Lixin has left, he is still paying attention to Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House. He knows that since he left, Ni Sisi has been promoted from the magazine's editor-in-chief to the magazine's deputy editor-in-chief, and Song Foxiang has been transferred from the magazine's junior editor to the publishing editor.
When Song Foxiang became a publishing editor, he didn't launch any new works for the author, but instead used the resources of the publishing house to help him publish a book first?
Rongcheng Literature and Art Publishing House is nothing more than this.
Bao Lixin didn't read the book "Elope at Dawn" at all and called Song Foxiang a flatterer.
Bao Lixin thought that Wen Ying would recommend Song Foxiang's new book on his blog because Song Foxiang usually flattered Wen Ying a lot!
Wen Ying’s readers are also a little confused.
Isn't Xiaoyu angry at all about plagiarism?
Oops, why is Xiaoyu so honest? It makes everyone feel bad.
The readers analyzed it in the group for a long time and agreed that they should not leave too many comments on Wen Ying's blog. They were afraid that Wen Ying's mood would be affected by the comments, which would in turn affect her study status in the last semester of her senior year of high school!
"The little fish belongs to everyone, and we should protect it together."
"That's right. Don't leave a message for Xiaoyu. Let's leave a message for the publishing house and Tianjiao Company."
"You can also go to Blue Whale's blog and scold her. After the variety show aired, she started a blog like Xiaoyu. She is a good imitator and a plagiarist. She always wants to compete with Xiaoyu!"
In the QQ group, readers chatted very quickly.
These days, most netizens don’t have the concept of “cyber violence” and don’t think there’s anything wrong with going to Blue Whale’s social platform to curse people. The one who did the wrong thing is obviously Blue Whale!
In the chat of "Guarding Xiaoyu", a reader said weakly: "I suggest you read the book recommended by Xiaoyu, "Elope at Dawn". Not only does this book have an exciting name, but the content is also exciting.
It’s so exciting! I watched it secretly like a thief on my own, and I can’t wait to share it with you!”
There was a pause as readers’ chats filled the screen.
What is "Elope at Dawn"?
How did such a strange thing sneak in... Oh, I remembered, Xiaoyu recommended this book on his blog.
Because the title of the book is too strange and inconsistent with Wen Ying's usual image, most readers feel that Wen Ying was forced into business.
There is no way, living in a society of favors, Xiaoyu also has favors that he cannot refuse!
With this idea in mind, most readers ignored the content of Wen Ying's latest blog. Unexpectedly, some readers actually bought a copy of "Elope at Dawn" and came to the readership group to share their thoughts after reading it.
The title of the book is exciting and the content is exciting. Can’t wait to share it?
The combination of these keywords is inexplicably exciting!
Some readers couldn't help but buy "Elopement at Dawn". As expected, the content is very exciting and exciting, and it's not even suitable for students... There are not many explicit descriptions, and the wording, sentences and plot can easily make people blush.
Don't tell me, this book is really interesting to read.
Not only Bao Lixin and readers are paying attention to Wenying's blog, but many media reporters are also paying attention.
Wen Ying's blog shares daily life, announces new book trends, and announces some book signing events. It has never recommended a particular book individually.
The title of the book "Elope at Dawn" immediately attracted the attention of media reporters.
Song Foxiang is talented, but he just didn't use his talents in the right way before.
He used to be a figure who established himself in the literary circle by writing poems, and his control over words surpasses ordinary people!
When he reaches middle age, his rich emotional experiences have become Song Foxiang's life experience and the material for his writing.
After Song Foxiang's new book was promoted through Wen Ying's blog, it immediately broke into the media's field of vision. Within two or three days, many book reviews came out, most of which praised him.
Some critics called this book "Confessions of a Scumbag". The writing is very unique and the intention is very profound. They praised "Elope at Dawn" as a rare masterpiece in recent years!
Song Foxiang was confused.
Editor Wan collected many book reviews together and asked Song Foxiang if Tianjiao bought these reviews for him. Song Foxiang was furious: "They are all real reviews. You can buy whatever you want. I haven't even made money for Tianjiao!"
"
Editor Wan was relieved and immediately congratulated Song Foxiang:
"Old Song, it looks like you are going to become popular!"
What's the fire?
Song Foxiang was panicking.
Critics are very harsh, and the books they generally praise are serious literature. If a book is unanimously praised by the critics, it will probably win an award.
Song Foxiang would have been so happy 20 years ago. At that time, Song Foxiang only wanted to win awards when he was creating, and he didn't care how much royalties he got.
But now...he just wants to write a best-selling book!
Song Foxiang was panicked, fearing that the more critics praised "Elopement at Dawn", the worse the book's sales would be.
The first printing of "Elopement at Dawn" was not very high, with only 50,000 copies, which shows that the publisher did not think it would be a hit.
What surprised the leaders of the publishing house was that Wen Ying's blog had only been updated for a week, and booksellers from all over the country had to continue to purchase goods... There was no inventory. 50,000 books were sold to major bookstores across the country, and there were not many left.
The publishing house was out of stock, so the printing of "Elopement at Dawn" was urgently put on the schedule.
This time, the publisher changed the horizontal cover of the book and printed words such as "Recommended by Fish Against the Current" and "Highly Praised by Many Literary Critics".
The publishing house was still cautious, fearing that this trend would not last long, so it only printed an additional 200,000 copies for the first time.
The print run of 250,000 copies is nothing to Wen Ying, and it is not even comparable to the Blue Whale who plagiarized Wen Ying's old books.
But for Song Foxiang, the number of prints was really a lot.
"Elopement at Dawn" was signed with a royalty rate of 11%, priced at 28 yuan, and 250,000 copies, which means a pre-tax royalty income of 770,000.
Tianjiao will take a cut of this money.
But even after paying the tax and Tianjiao taking part of the commission, Song Foxiang still had more than 300,000 in his hands.
Converting more than 300,000 Chinese dollars into U.S. dollars, it is more than 40,000 U.S. dollars.
Even if Song Chan doesn't have a scholarship at Yale, more than $40,000 is enough to cover her expenses for a year abroad!
Success came so quickly, Song Foxiang couldn't believe it, and suspected that he was in a dream.
Yuan Fenghui looked at the sales data of Song Foxiang's new book and was somewhat satisfied. She told Wen Ying: "Elopement at Dawn has become a hit. Your blog's advertising quotation is now 500,000. Many brands are willing to cooperate with you.
