Chapter 97—Prestige Surge
Here, Jiang Bai asked Xiaotian to arrange everything, ready to move in, and has not settled in. Jiang Bai received a call: "Hey, hello, is Mr. Jiang Bai?"
"you are?"
Jiang Bai stunned a bit. The people he knows are not too few now, but he will actually call him. The people who call him are not many, and they are a strange number. Jiang Bai is very surprised.
“I am the editor of the Swift Culture Press. Do you remember me? I have talked to you online before, and your “Zhu Xian” was published by our company.”
It’s a female voice, a bit hoarse, not a particularly good type, but it gives a mature and steady feeling.
“Swift culture?”
Jiang Bai took a moment and then reacted.
The other party contacted him more than a month ago. At that time, it was the second fat to help find.
Because "Zhu Xian" is particularly popular, Jiang Bai got a high royalty of 11% in the industry, so Jiang Bai signed it directly.
Now he has no high requirements for the price. For Jiang Bai, who can now say that he is going to fight for money, money is just something outside his body. What he really cares about is only prestige. The prestige points transmitted through the network increase little. I hope that I can increase my prestige through this publication, so I will agree.
"Is there a problem?"
The contract has been signed, what is the other party looking for? Direct publication is not finished?
"This is the case. Your book will be listed in major bookstores nationwide tomorrow. We hope that you can take a moment to make a signing sale to increase the sales volume of this book.
You know, before you had a book all over the network, many fans are looking forward to meeting you, but in the book review area or somewhere else, you have never appeared publicly, causing many people's curiosity.
I think if you are willing to participate in this signing ceremony, then it will definitely increase the popularity, so that the sales of "Zhu Xian" is more popular. ”
The other party made their request.
Is it the same to find Jiang Baiwei?
"Signing up? I can't be free!"
Just kidding, running around the country all day, sitting there and signing, signing, and taking a photo, for the average person, naturally it’s a glory, but for Jiang Bai, how do you look like a monkey? He is not interested at all.
Moreover, he is not particularly willing to appear in the spotlight, so that people can be onlookers, or else the "Heroes of the True Color", which began last week, will be followed up.
Of course, there is one more important reason... that is, Jiang Bai’s words are really not lost.
No way, Jiang Bai’s unforgettable truth is true. Tonggubo is also true nowadays. Not to mention the skills, now the whole China wants to find out who can scream with Jiang Bai.
But... the problem is that Jiang Bai’s study before is really not a trick. These days, I have never concentrated on practicing calligraphy. The word is still... I can’t bear it.
"But this is a good opportunity to increase sales, knowing that other authors can..."
Here, this one is also preparing to persuade Jiang Bai, but unfortunately Jiang Bai has resolutely refused. In the end, the other side has no choice but to compromise.
"Well, I will report the data to you at any time."
The editorial shoes of the swift culture over there finally sighed, and her purpose was obviously not met.
Regardless of the communication between the two of them, Jiang Bai promised this signing sale, but the next morning, the door of the major bookstores across the country lined up with long queues...
This has attracted a lot of people's curiosity. We must know that such scenes have not appeared for many years. Since the rise of online media in the past two years, the sales of physical books have been greatly discounted. It has not been seen for such a long time.
Some people are curious, can't help but ask what is going on. These are not the young people who buy the main people in the physical books. They are waiting in line. What is this?
"I said young man, what are you doing?"
A middle-aged man with many years of experience as a fan can't help but ask.
He originally came to buy books. Compared with emerging media, he prefers paper books. Today he just has a martial arts novel he likes to go public, so he came to buy, you can see so many people waiting in line, they are still young people. He couldn't help but ask if his curiosity rose.
"Uncle "Zhu Xian" is listed, we are all coming to buy "Zhu Xian", you are out of date."
A girl who was a pretty student replaced the questioned boy and replied with a sigh of relief.
"Zhu Xian? What is it doing? Such a strange name? Monster novel?"
The middle-aged people over there are obviously puzzled. The name of Zhu Xian is too strange.
"What monster? Uncle, who are you living in, is Xian Xia... Xian Xia does not understand... Yu Jian Fei Jian."
Someone here immediately expressed dissatisfaction and said to the middle-aged.
"Yu Jian Fei Xian? Xian Xia?"
This made the middle-aged people curious. Then they entered the bookstore. In the crowds who queued to buy, they couldn’t help but buy one. Afterwards, they couldn’t help themselves. They took a look at it and saw it for half an hour. I did not hesitate to buy several books, one is my own collection, and the rest is recommended to my friends.
Such a good book, those book friends should share.
Such scenes have been staged throughout the country, and the sales of Zhuxian have been in turmoil. Although Xunjie Publishing House has already prepared, it has printed a total of 1.5 million copies and distributed 800,000 copies, but sold out on the first day. The news of the goods auctioned by local booksstores is like a snowflake, so that the fast publishing house can't respond and it has to be printed overnight.
On the first day, Zhu Xian sold 1.2 million copies, setting a record for the first day of sales.
Moreover, on the second day, the sales of 800,000 copies won the championship. This has attracted the attention of countless media. For a time, the name of "Zhu Xian" has been raging in the country.
In the first week, it sold 3.2 million copies, surpassing the first-month sales record set by a famous author eight years ago.
One week broke the highest first-month sales of others, and the singer was hot.
Jiang Bai’s name appeared in front of all the people for the first time, but unfortunately no media can get Jiang Bai’s photos. On the other side of the publishing house and website, Jiang Bai had already explained that the ID card could not be leaked. The rest of the channels have no way to get it.
So the name Jiang Bai is very loud, but what he is like, but no one knows.
Some people think that Jiang Bai’s name is familiar, but no one has linked Jiang Bai, who wrote this book, to Jiang Ye, who is calling for the rain.
This also makes Jiang Bai famous, but it is not obvious.
Of course, these are not the most important ones. The most important thing is that Jiang Bai has gained a wealth of prestige because of the hot sales of "Zhu Xian".
The sales of physical books can't be compared with the Internet. Naturally, the level of prestige points is different. With 10,000 clicks on the Internet, Jiang Bai can gain a little prestige, and the sales of physical books, Jiang Bai's prestige growth has increased to 1%.
That is to say, for every sale, Jiang Bai can get a prestige of 0.01.
In the first week, Jiang Bai madly captured more than 32,000 points of prestige.
The speed is crazy and the results are shocking.
