Chapter 45

Five days later, the day before the new bestseller list was released.

New York Times bestseller list, in the office.

A young editor looked at the editor in chief and said, "this guy named Wang Jian has made us lose face. Don't we press him?"

The editor in chief of bald head raised his head and said in a slightly higher voice: "how to press? Now his "I am the great mage" ranks in the 35th place, and the first volume of arcane throne only rushes into the top 10, ranking ninth

"Not only the sales of song of ice and fire, but also the reputation of the other side."

"Especially when many readers read the end of the first volume of song of ice and fire, they think that the protagonist has been beheaded."

"Now, arcane has been called the most popular fantasy novel of the year. Can you tell me how to press it? Data fraud? "

"Don't you think it's humiliating enough!"

The young editor replied, "we can put some critics' criticisms in the best-selling book reviews, and point out the praises and demerits in the introduction of arcane throne."

"For example, although Arcane is very creative, its writing style is not so good. Moreover, this book desperately advocates elitism and is very unfriendly to the current popular anti intellectualism. "

"Don't you usually read newspapers?" The editor in chief is more angry, "some time ago, other newspapers have not commented like this. What's the use?"

"Well, go back and do more research and make suggestions." The editor in chief said, "that Wang Jian is still very young. I don't believe he will publish any other books. At that time, just give him a lesson. "

Watching the young editor walk out of the office, the editor in chief's frown relaxed.

He opened the drawer, hesitated for a moment, and took out a copy of arcane.

"I have to find out what's wrong with this book," he muttered

In the novel, the protagonist uses classical music to win the collective welcome of the aristocracy, the Holy See and the ordinary people in the different world, and then makes other composers marvel.

Of course, just look at the color of these pages in the novel, you can see that this part has been turned.

Correspondingly, the last few pages of the song of ice and fire in the drawer were torn down.

There is a sense of absurdity in the "Ode to joy" hummed by the editor in chief.

As one of the most popular "writers" of fantasy novels at present.

What Wang Jian is concerned about now is not literature.

It's about the subscription fee for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone.

"A thousand words, 0.05 dollars. Is that a good price?" Rosie asked, staring at the dark circles under her eyes, which were obvious from staying up all night.

"This is the final price based on the best seller list book pricing, the number of readers currently reading the novel, and the author's wishes."

"It's also the minimum amount of single consumption required by the bank card issuing institution to give the most favorable service charge." Tom replied.

Wang Jian looks at the most prominent electronic cover of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone on the homepage of the website.

Turning to Dorothy, he asked, "did you post ads on other forums?"

Dorsey nodded.

Wang Jian looked at Tom again and asked, "have you finished the advertisement?"

Tom handed me a small card.

Wang Jian came over and had a look.

"The author of Arcturus, the most popular fantasy novel in the United States, will continue to publish part of Arcturus on the website," it said

"And the first volume of arcane God, which will be released for free on the Internet, will reach an amazing half. What does he want to do?"

Wang Jian handed the note to Tom and said, "if conditions permit, write the" free "and website name in bold and black font."

Tom said, "I understand."

"Moreover, I also asked these tabloids to publish soft articles on different dates."

"That way, it can not only avoid the instant pressure of the website, but also keep the exposure at a relatively high level within a certain period of time."

Wang Jian nodded and approved Tom's decision.

After the three made up for the missing, they finally made a decision.

At eight o'clock tonight, the new version is on the line.

Now, Tom and Dorsey stay in the apartment and continue to prepare for tonight's launch.

Wang Jian put on his new suit and waited for Lynn to pick him up to give a speech in primary school, thinking about how to mention Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone as much as possible in the speech.

Ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Wang Jian tidied up his appearance in the mirror, and then opened the door.

Outside the door was not Lynn with red hair, but Lily with golden hair.

Today's lily is different from the old familiar girl with short skirt and silk stockings.They were wearing a white shirt and straight jeans with holes.

Suddenly, it looks very similar to the style of Shania Donne, a very popular country singer recently.

Looking at lily, Wang Jian was stunned at first, and then thought about how to speak.

Unexpectedly, Lily took Wang Jian's hand and walked out of the apartment and into the car.

The song in the car is Shania Donne's any man of mine.

Any man of mine better be proud of me

my man had better be proud of me

even when I'm ugly he still better love me

love me even if I'm ugly

any man of mine'll say it fits just right

last year's clothes won't fit this year

when last year's dress is just

my man will also say hey

a Little too tight

you're well dressed

the light country music reverberates in the car.

For a moment, Wang Jian forgot the website and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone.

He just looked at lily, looking at her beautiful face in the sunshine.

Before I knew it, Horace Mann elementary school arrived.

On the way, the two people who didn't say a word looked at each other at the moment.

As the saying goes: there is no beauty for thousands of years.

The body is infinite good, when can enter the body.

Just as they approached each other for further action, the window was suddenly knocked.

When I opened the car door, I saw red haired Lynn's face watching a good play.

"If I don't come, what are you going to do in the car?" Lynn asked jokingly.

Lily's face was red at first, and then she said, "why, you envy me."

"Cut." Lynn dropped her lips and said, "come on, the speech will start in half an hour."

"Wang, you have to show your speech to the headmaster in case of inappropriate content."

Wang Jian nodded and followed Lin en to the principal's office.

As he passed by lily, Lily gave Wang Jian a bold kiss on the face and said, "tomorrow, I'll go to see you."

Lynn angrily shouts to Lily's back: "tomorrow gene will have a school party. You can't go anywhere!"

PS: no smoking. It's very awkward.

Well
