The first part of "Green Grassland War Chronicles" was put on the shelves without any warning.
In the past, whenever Lu Yuan released any work, he would promote it on Weibo and create a huge wave of popularity.
But this time...
However, Lu Yuan was surprisingly very quiet. Except for the publisher and various units and departments labeling the film "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles, produced by Lu Yuan", there was not even any promotion.
You can't even see any photos or text introduction on the author's introduction page.
You couldn’t even see any popularity online on the first day.
Even after the new book was hung on the shelves of major Xinhua bookstores, readers immediately thought it was a book written by an author with the same name as Lu Yuan.
Why?
So low-key...
Even if you write the words "Produced by Lu Yuan" on the cover...
but……
Is this Lu Yuan?
Definitely not!
After all, which one of Lu Yuan's works wasn't always vigorous and explosive?
This time there was no publicity or news at all. Everyone thought it couldn’t be good?
And the name "Green Grassland War"...
It really sounds a bit inexplicable, not even as vivid as "Hulun Buir Prairie Cuckold War"!
Right?
The kids don't know how, but at least some adults will give the name a second look...
Um.
Maybe I’ll pick up a copy to see what it’s about.
…………………………
"Mr. Lu, are you sure you don't want us to do any publicity? The sales volume on the first day was barely more than 10,000 copies..."
"No, no need."
"Mr. Lu, do you want to see the market's reaction to the quality of the book itself? Let the market test it?"
"Hmm... let's think about it... let's see."
"Okay, it's up to you."
On the first day, the sales performance of the book "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" was very reluctant. Although it is not a blockbuster compared to ordinary books, this is a book written by Lu Yuan!
"Collection of Lu Yuan's Fairy Tales" has sold over 10 million copies, and now this book has sold more than 10,000 copies on the first day.
This huge contrast is really hard to accept.
So, Yang Susu called Lu Yuan. She more or less hoped that Lu Yuan could promote it online, or that Lu Yuan would allow them to advertise with the organizer...
Otherwise, not many readers will pay for it.
However, he was rejected by Lu Yuan.
Yang Susu thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why Lu Yuan, who had always been keen on publicity in the past, refused. This was obviously unreasonable.
final……
He could only come to the conclusion that Lu Yuan wanted to read this book and see the market response without using his own name.
Follow-up?
She felt that Lu Yuan would still come up with some flashy publicity.
After all, Lu Yuan’s works have never been sold on the street, right?
In fact, she didn't know at all that Lu Yuan didn't do it to see how the market would react, but when he thought of some of the rather fabricated stories, Lu Yuan felt embarrassed deep in his heart.
Many stories start at the beginning but end at the end, and even the magic changes are such that even Lu Yuan doesn't know how to follow up.
Ahem, there are so many messy stories mixed together in one world, and so many bloody and messy plots.
This is really...
Ahem.
When he thought of this, Lu Yuan's whole body trembled.
Then, I suddenly regretted publishing this book.
………………………………
Ren He is a great martial arts writer on the "Tianxia" website.
His pen name is "Silent Elbow".
It was once famous in the entire online literary world for a humorous martial arts movie called "A Thousand Swordsman", and it has been adapted into a TV series, and the ratings are also pretty good.
but……
As time progressed, Ren He suddenly realized that the traditional martial arts genre was gradually coming to an end, and all aspects of data and subscriptions began to decline uncontrollably.
He is not stupid, he understands that he needs to transform.
The routines of martial arts basically end with fighting in the world of swordsmanship, with the heroes doing justice and retreating into the world. Better martial arts writers incorporate some philosophical touches...
However, no one feels that the case is amazing anymore.
After all, a single routine, coupled with aesthetic fatigue...
Everything shows that changes must be made.
But where should the transformation go?
Ren He didn't think about it for a while. After all, the current environment is like this. Although the Xianxia side has gradually begun to appear to carry out so-called innovations, Ren He felt that something was still missing.
Ren He was quite confused.
On this day, I passed by Xinhua Bookstore as usual, hesitated for a moment, and finally walked inside.
He thought that his son Ren Xiaoli was already learning to speak, so he needed to prepare some children's books for his son and teach him how to read.
When he came to Xinhua Bookstore and was bored, he kept looking at some children's books, hoping to find a similar one. However, because he was a writer himself, when he saw those children's books, he
I just feel so bored for no reason.
The routine is too simple, and there is basically no story or even content in it.
never mind.
It seems that all children's books are like this, just buy one if you want.
Just when Ren He shook his head, he suddenly saw a strange book on the bookshelf with only a puppet image on the cover.
This book is called "The War Chronicles of Qingqing Prairie".
"Green Grassland War Chronicles"?
What a strange name.
Ren He was stunned, and then subconsciously opened the first page of the book.
The first story is called "Calabash Baby and Seven Little Girls"...
Um?
This is just like the title of the book, they are both very strange names!
By accident, Ren He read the story of "Calabash Baby and Seven Little Girls", and then...
He found that he was out of control.
Time passed little by little.
Three hours later, Ren He saw in a daze "A gray sheep in Yangcun was looked down upon and roared angrily: Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor sheep!" After this chapter, he
Suddenly I felt my blood boiling.
Then……
When he turned to the next page expectantly to see what would happen next, he found that he had already written the last chapter.
Next page?
The next page is gone.
This "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" actually only has the first part.
He opened the first page again in a daze. At this moment, he felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.
Then!
His eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized that martial arts could indeed change in the future, and so could their routines!
This "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" is a living template textbook!
Then, he looked around again...
It was really hard for him to believe that this "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles", which was full of all kinds of interesting routines, was actually a children's book.
This is really incredible!
Then, he saw the words "Produced by Lu Yuan"...
He was also stunned, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just a coincidence of a pen name.
"No, such a book cannot be buried!"
"I want to spread the word."
"Yes! Let's promote it..."
………………………………
There are a lot of bullshit in this world.
At least Lu Yuan felt that the occurrence and results of many things were beyond his expectations.
When Yang Susu told him two days later in a very excited voice that the book "Green Grassland War Chronicles" sold 100,000 copies in one day, Lu Yuan was shocked.
One hundred thousand copies!
This is a data that even Lu Yuan finds incredible.
After all, this book has no publicity from beginning to end, not even his own advertising...
but……
From ten thousand volumes on the first day to one hundred thousand volumes on the third day.
How did this happen?
Isn’t this how fraud is done?
"Mr. Lu..."Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" is different from "Lu Yuan's Fairy Tale Collection". This "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" is not only a children's book, but also an adult book. Moreover, the group of Internet writers are all in
I spontaneously advertised this book and recommended it...many readers know this book "The War of the Green Grassland"."
"ah?"
When he heard this, Lu Yuan was stunned again, and then clicked on Weibo.
Unexpectedly, the number one hot search in the book section of Weibo was "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles"...
He clicked in and took a look.
………………………………
""Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" is not just a children's book. I thought it was nothing at first, but when I opened the first page, I couldn't help but be attracted. I read the ending in one breath, and then the next day
After the phrase "thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi" came out, my blood boiled instantly... I
I really hope to see what kind of counterattack plot will follow. Well, I can’t sleep in anticipation... Well, so I recommend this book. This is a good book!" Well-known online martial arts writer
The writer Jiuzi wrote a long article very seriously on his Weibo to recommend this book "The War of the Green Grassland".
After the recommendation is completed, the following is a series of likes and various comments urging updates.
"I seem to have seen a new path for martial arts in the future. I admit that in a sense, my new book draws on this book, "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles". It seems to be a key, opening up the new world.
The gate..." The famous Internet writer "Qingshan Chuzui" posted a Weibo without saying anything. While promoting his new book, he couldn't help but @ this "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles"...
"I have also opened a new book, and the name of my new book is "Horse Breaks the Sky"! Chapter One, Ten Years in the East of Hedong, Ten Years in the West of Hexi!" Wu Niubu, a famous online writer, has also kept up with the trend.
"The strong man rises against the sky, and my "Invincible Crush" is also online..."
"..."
"..."
On this day, as if promised, a series of well-known writers in the Internet circle have all opened new books.
Two days later!
The "Tianxia" Chinese website, which was originally all about martial arts, suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, with a series of various types in an instant...
There are those who show off and get slapped in the face!
There are the Thirty Years of Hedong and Thirty Years of Hexi's Hot-Blooded Roaring School.
There are strong men reborn, crushing types along the way...
There is a flow of traveling through the past to show off...
The readers were instantly blinded by the sudden appearance of various routines, as if they were seeing huge spiritual wealth suddenly appear!
Then……
So cool!
And they suddenly realized that the book "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" covered almost all of these mushrooming routines.
Then……
The book "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" is selling like crazy!
…………………………
"Mr. Lu..."
"What's wrong?"
""Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles" became a big hit abroad!"
"ah?"
"I heard the news that there is a young drug addict abroad. After reading our book "Qingqing Prairie War Chronicles", he has not taken drugs for a week..."
