It is naturally a great honor for an author to have his work selected into the textbook, because the sales volume and number of people of any book cannot exceed that of the textbook for students, and this is still a long-term and continuous process, because the textbook does not
It will be revised frequently, ranging from a few years to decades, and your articles will exist in the textbooks, influencing generations of young people.
Throughout the ages, the authors whose works can be incorporated into textbooks are almost all literary giants of the generation, and those articles are classics that can be passed down for generations. In addition, most of these authors have passed away, and articles by contemporary writers can be incorporated into textbooks.
It can be said that there are very few of them, which further highlights the precious significance of Hu Shuo’s articles being selected as textbooks.
"So, this author's certificate is also genuine?"
Qiu Xiaobai looked at the author's certificate that she regarded as a fake again. This time, she found it pleasing to her eyes.
"What do you think?" Hu Shuo curled her lips arrogantly.
Qiu Xiaobai smiled like a flower.
"Stories from Yuewen Story Network were selected into primary school Chinese textbooks. Yuewen Story Network has produced a special writer from the Municipal Writers Association. Wow, this time we can get a wave of popularity again."
Qiu Xiaobai muttered happily, and when he looked at Hu Shuo again, his eyes were already shining.
"Teacher Hu, I love you so much~!"
"Well"
"Don't make trouble, I have a wife~!"
Hu Shuo rolled his eyes.
"Cut~!"
"This is just a way to express joy, don't have any other ideas!"
Qiu Xiaobai snorted.
"Mr. Qiu, don't worry."
"Absolutely not!"
Hu Shuo nodded with determination.
Seeing this, Qiu Xiaobai couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. Although she didn't think anything wrong about Hu Shuo, she was naturally a little uncomfortable being ignored by a man.
"It's as if no one wants me," Qiu Xiaobai muttered silently.
"So do you have a boyfriend?" Hu Shuo asked.
"not yet!"
"oh"
Hu Shuo showed an expression that was true, and then spread his hands: "If there is nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Wait, there's one more thing."
Qiu Xiaobai stopped Hu Shuo: "Have you not opened Weibo yet?"
"Well, what's wrong?" Hu Shuo asked.
"You'd better open it. It's okay if you don't sign the book, but Weibo is also an important promotional tool. You may not know it yet, but the new book of the great children's author 'Xiaoyu', who sleeps with you every day, is also on the shelves today.
She has launched a publicity campaign on Weibo for a long time, and many authors in the circle are helping her promote it."
Qiu Xiaobai said with a serious face.
"Oh, I got it."
Hu Shuo nodded.
Got it? What kind of answer is this?
Qiu Xiaobai silently cursed in his heart and asked: "Then can you open it or not??"
"Then let's drive."
Hu Shuo thought about it and said that what Qiu Xiaobai said was not unreasonable. Instead of signing autographs to build momentum, it was okay to post on Weibo online to promote it.
"Then hurry up, today is the big day for sales across the country." Qiu Xiaobai warned again.
"Yeah, I got it."
Hu Shuo nodded again.
"Kao!"
Qiu Xiaobai's quick temper couldn't stand Hu Shuo's slow pace. She felt that if she continued chatting with Hu Shuo, she would be so angry that she would die of anger, so she started the car directly.
However, just as Qiu Xiaobai was about to drive away, his cell phone rang. It was Cao Ying, the deputy editor-in-chief of Yuewen Story Network.
"What's the matter, Lao Cao?"
Cao Ying is two years older than Qiu Xiaobai. She is a typical single strong woman. The two get along very harmoniously.
"The marketing department has sold out all the stories, and now dealers across the country are replenishing them."
Cao Ying's voice came from the phone.
"Sold out?"
"What book??" Qiu Xiaobai looked suspicious.
"'Zao Zuo's Story'!" Cao Ying said.
"ah??"
Qiu Xiaobai looked at the time on his phone. It was only half past ten in the morning.
"Didn't it just go on sale this morning? It sold out so quickly, and the first printing was 300,000 copies!!" Qiu Xiaobai said with a look of disbelief.
"Anyway, dealers everywhere are replenishing their goods. Even if they haven't sold out yet, they are probably selling very well," Cao Ying said.
"That is to say, we need to notify the factory to print more now??" Qiu Xiaobai frowned in disbelief, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Hu Shuo, who was slowly walking towards his Mulsanne.
A new book, with an initial print run of 300,000 copies, needs to be reprinted just a few hours after it goes on sale. What the hell is this operation?
At this pace, selling over a million copies is no longer just a joke!
And in today's sluggish environment for physical publishing, those who can sell more than a million copies are all well-known domestic authors.
"Lao Cao, how many copies do you think is appropriate for printing?"
Qiu Xiaobai asked.
"With the current momentum, we will have to print another million copies no matter what," Cao Ying thought for a while and replied.
"One million"
Qiu Xiaobai's pupils shrank. As a result, Hu Shuo directly entered the "Million Club" and entered the ranks of first-line authors, at least in terms of sales volume.
"Okay, I get it."
Qiu Xiaobai hung up the phone, then stepped on the accelerator to reverse the car out of the parking space, and drove next to Hu Shuo's Mulsanne.
"Is there anything else?"
Hu Shuo just got into the car and saw Qiu Xiaobai chasing after him, so he lowered the window.
"Teacher Hu, I'm afraid you have to come with me." Qiu Xiaobai said.
"Ah? What are you doing??" Hu Shuo looked wary.
"Sign the contract."
"What contract?"
"Publishing and printing contract!!" Qiu Xiaobai chuckled and joked: "Mr. Hu, you are very popular this time. One million more copies of "Zo Zuo's Story" will be printed!!"
"Oh, that's pretty good." Hu Shuo nodded calmly.
"Kao!"
"Aren't you excited at all??" Hu Shuo's calm reaction disappointed Qiu Xiaobai. She thought Hu Shuo had to make an exaggerated expression no matter what.
"Excited"
"Why can't I see it?"
"Actually, my heart is already in turmoil."
Hu Shuo smiled softly. "Zo Zuo's Story" had just been put on the shelves and was about to be reprinted. Of course he was excited. However, for him, this was just a small achievement in the interim, and it would not make him feel very excited.
Waves.
If one day, Hu Shuo achieves his ultimate goal, he will have to get drunk for three nights and run naked for three days. That would be enough!
"Boring, just follow me and go back to the company to sign the contract."
Qiu Xiaobai lowered the window and drove the car to lead the way, while Hu Shuo started the car and followed.
