In fact, "Zero Zero One" will be released sooner than fans imagined.
Although the promotion period for each of Zhang Zhong's works is extremely short, fans still didn't expect that the magazine just announced that a magazine would be released, and by the 7th, the magazine had already been released.
This efficiency is really amazing.
Chen Qing also considered that the publicity period was relatively short, so he was a little conservative when setting the print number, and only printed 300,000 copies.
Three hundred thousand copies is not a small number for a single novel, but for a magazine, it is already very small.
Even a moderately famous magazine can buy at least millions of copies per issue, and the sales of leading magazines can be counted in the tens of millions.
There are more than 30 provinces in China, and there are countless prefecture-level cities. Even if the villages and towns are not considered, and only the prefecture-level cities are distributed, if the distribution is divided equally, each city will be allocated more than a thousand copies.
A thousand copies, some middle schools can sell a thousand copies if they are good enough.
Therefore, although Chen Qing came up with a conservative figure of 300,000, he was ready to print more at any time. Lin Lin's printing factory was always ready. As long as Chen Qing called, the machine would be able to run.
Of course, these 300,000 copies cannot be distributed equally.
It must be more distributed to those first-tier cities, and less to the second- and third-tier cities. Only a second- and fifth-tier city like Jiangyang has reserved 10,000 copies. It would be good if some other third-tier cities could distribute a few hundred copies.
Unlike novels, magazines are usually sold at newsstands and small bookstores in front of schools.
Yang Wei had already gone to the newsstand at the entrance of the school and bought a few magazines as soon as they came out.
The newsstand at the entrance of their school had a total of twenty magazines. Yang Wei bought four, which suddenly reduced the number by one-fifth.
The cover of the first issue of "Zero Zero One" is a watercolor painting of a woman and several short men, which looks a bit like a fairy tale.
Judging from the cover, the overall style is a bit like children's literature.
Yang Wei didn't think much about it. He couldn't wait to open a copy of the magazine as soon as he got it.
What he didn't expect was that all of them were fairy tales. Although these stories were quite interesting, Yang Wei was a little disappointed because he didn't want to read fairy tales.
Moreover, these fairy tales were all written by Zhang Zhong alone.
"If I had known it was a children's literature magazine, I wouldn't have bought so many copies." Yang Wei regretted a little, but then he thought, "It's not expensive anyway, just treat it as supporting my idol, and forget it next time."
He shook his head and looked back at the newsstand, only to find that twenty magazines had been sold out, and several students were standing in front of the newsstand with distressed expressions on their faces.
One student suddenly saw Yang Wei holding five magazines. His eyes lit up and he was about to come over. Yang Wei was startled and ran away.
Readers in Jiangyang are still happy, at least they can still buy 10,000 copies, but some other cities do not have such good treatment.
For example, Lushui City next to Jiangyang is a small 18th-tier city. The distance between the two cities is only a few dozen kilometers, but Lushui City has only been allocated 200 magazines. Even in the schools in the city, many do not have magazines.
Yes, if you want to buy it, you can only buy it at the gates of larger schools, or go to bookstores to try your luck.
The situation of shortages in various places was quickly reported to Chen Qing, and he was very decisive. He called Lin Lin and asked him to hurry up and print another million copies.
Unlike the booming sales, online reviews of "Zero Zero One" are mixed.
Some people say that the fairy tales written by Zhang Zhong this time are very good and are very good children's literature. But other people think that since it is a magazine with the theme of children's literature, it should be informed in advance to save many people from spending money.
, after all, not everyone likes to read children’s literature.
[Zhang Zhong went too far this time. I didn’t realize until I bought it that they were all fairy tales. After reading a few pages, I didn’t read it. There were no children at home, so I had to give it to relatives. 】
[You can tell it’s children’s literature just by looking at the cover. Wouldn’t you wait and see before buying it? 】
[Why wait and see? You can’t open it and read it before buying it. Those newsstands don’t have trial copies.]
[As long as you wait a little longer, won’t the news on the Internet spread, and you won’t read the comments first before reading the book?]
[I suspect there is hunger marketing this time. It is out of stock everywhere. I only saw a few copies on the newsstand, so I didn’t bother reading the reviews and just bought them.]
[I won’t buy the next issue anyway.]
[I think it’s very good. I read two articles to my children. They liked them very much, and the illustrations above are also quite interesting.]
[It’s not all children’s literature. The Harry Potter novel in the middle may be suitable for children, but I found it quite interesting. It’s a very good fantasy work. I look forward to the follow-up stories. 】
[The long article in the middle? I didn’t pay attention. I read a few articles in a row, and then I flipped through some childish illustrations at the end, so I stopped reading. 】
[So you didn’t read the book carefully. There is a long novel in the middle called Harry Potter, about magic.]
【I'm going, then I'm going to have a look.】
Yang Wei also saw this comment on the Internet and was a little confused. Is there a long article in it?
He found the magazine he had placed on the corner of the table, and sure enough, he found the "Harry Potter" that netizens were talking about in the middle.
The story seems to be about magic, but there is not much description of magic, after all, there is only the first section.
This is obviously the beginning of a long novel, and this first section leaves too much suspense.
Who is the man called Dumbledore who is called Professor? Who is Harry Potter in their mouth? There is a man called Voldemort who wants to kill Harry Potter, but cannot kill him, but does not kill him
, will lose power again. Why is this?
There is also Hagrid. The description of Hagrid in the book shows that he cannot be a normal person. His long bush-like black hair and beard cover most of his face.
His hands are as big as trash can lids, and his feet are like two small dolphins.
Hagrid brought a baby, the child known as Harry Potter.
There are only so many stories. Through the description, Yang Wei can feel that this child named Harry Potter is different, but the author leaves too much suspense, making people eager to know what the rest of the story is like.
"Looks like I still have to buy the next issue, damn Zhang Zhong!" Yang Wei gritted his teeth. The decision he had made in front of the newsstand was instantly overturned.
"No, I have to go online and scold him, otherwise it will be difficult to understand the cruelty in my heart."
Yang Wei picked up the keyboard, his fingers were flying, and he typed quickly: Zhang Zhongda, is "Zero Zero One" magazine a weekly magazine? Please beg for a follow-up to "Harry Potter".
