Chapter 24 Physical Book Listing
After Lin Yun learned that Gu Qingge could already make money through games, she no longer thought Gu Qingge was "degenerate".
After all, Gu Qingge is about to go to the art university, which requires a lot of expenses.
Lin Yun felt that Gu Qingge and his brother were quite inspiring. In the face of their family's financial difficulties, they tried every means to make money in this way.
Gu Qingge did not lie to her. She was very good at guiding her younger brother Gu Wenzhou, which not only further improved her game awareness and technology, but also became more and more at ease with live broadcasts.
The mysterious "Shallow Dream" is becoming more and more famous in the game "Hero Glory".
...
Time gradually moved forward, and it was already April in a flash. Gu Qingge successfully sent the 200,000-word manuscript of "Who Contends with the Battle" to her editor Liu Shutang.
As a result, before "Who Contends" was launched, there was a huge difference in the editorial department of Qidian Publishing House and the atmosphere was extremely disharmonious.
The reason for all this was Pan Liang, the senior editor over fifty years old, who went crazy.
The editorial department of Qidian Publishing House will hold a meeting of all editors before its new work is launched, and both magazine and online literature departments must participate.
Pan Liang slapped the table at the meeting and pointed the finger at Ye Jingyi. He said angrily: "The pure newcomer's work "Who and Conquer" can be directly released in a single book. You are simply playing the piano randomly!"
Ye Jingyi rolled her eyes. She was too lazy to give Pan Liang face. She just sneered: "Just because your own editors are approaching me, you even hate "Who and Fight"? You old guy, your vision of reading novels has long been out of date. If you don't have a single version of "Who and Fight"? Can you express the "Warrior World" you recommended?"
Pan Liang felt very embarrassed when he thought of the "backstab" behavior of his editor Liu Shutang, who was originally under his command.
He was really careless and did not expect that Liu Shutang would launch a sneak attack like this, which was simply unethical. Just because he was not optimistic about "Who is in the Confrontation", Liu Shutang dared to turn around and recommend this work to Ye Jingyi.
But Ye Jingyi really fell in love with this work and insisted on pushing it.
Pan Liang originally didn't want to mess with Ye Jingyi, who is very young, has a deep background and has a great future.
But he really couldn't swallow this. In addition, no matter where he was in the workplace, if he wanted to maintain authority and influence, Pan Liang had to fight back against such nearly slap in the face!
Therefore, while Ye Jingyi was fully operating "Who and Contend", Pan Liang also forcibly released his extremely optimistic work "Fighting the World" to prove his vision.
"The Martial Fighting World" is a new work that the senior fantasy author Beihai has prepared for three years. After three years of hardening a sword, I have read the first 200,000 words. The text is smooth, the style is grand, the plot is ups and downs, and it is full of excitement. It is not known how many times better than "Who and Fighting". It will release a single-line version next, and its sales will definitely be far more than "Who and Fighting"!"
Pan Liang said in an extremely confident tone that he had completely put his bet on the work "Fighting the World".
In order to promote the direct release of "Fighting the World of War", Pan Liang also put a lot of effort and used a lot of favors.
Other editors in the conference room are no longer surprised by the conflict between Pan Liang and Ye Jingyi.
Editors in the popular novel circle are prone to conflicts because the sales volume of their works are linked to their performance.
In other words, whoever launches works with higher sales volumes will of course have more bonuses.
In order to compete for more resources and have more voice, there will of course be friction and contradictions among editors.
The above method to resolve the contradiction is very simple, that is, to compare sales. Whoever launches works with higher sales will be able to obtain more resources in the future, so that you can have more recommended places.
The popular novel circle is so pragmatic. Anyway, everything is in line with the market and sales are in line with each other. High sales are the bottom line!
While Pan Liang and Ye Jingyi were arguing, the other two editors were also discussing in a low voice.
Mao Ping is also one of the four editors in the online literature department, and Jiang Ying, who is beside him, is the editor-in-chief of the magazine department.
The relationship between the two is pretty good, Jiang Ying couldn't help but say to Mao Ping: "Mao, which book do you prefer?"
Mao Ping actually didn't know much about the two books, but the senior fantasy author Beihai is undoubtedly more famous than the new author Nan Gezi.
So he said: "Although the sales of traditional fantasy novels are getting weaker and weaker now, it is undeniable that the fantasy category is still more popular. Coupled with Beihai's fame, it feels like "Fighting the World" is more stable."
This is a judgment made by Mao Ping according to his own experience. Of course, he also knew that "Who and Conquer" was more innovative, and he used the "E-sports Novels to Beginner" to hype it when promoting it.
But how many new authors can really make their debut feats?
Even the top masters in the popular novel circle, those genius writers are often the only one who has achieved enlightenment in the second book.
When Jiang Ying heard Mao Ping's judgment, he nodded in agreement.
An editor of a magazine department like him instinctively has great doubts about works like "Who and Conquer" that have not yet been serialized in magazines to prove popularity.
As for Beihai's "Fighting the World of Martial Arts", although it is also a physical book, it is a senior author and has achieved results. Although his works are at its peak in sales, they are considered to be the most awesome.
In such an extremely discordant atmosphere, the meeting finally ended.
Chen Shuda, the deputy editor-in-chief who presided over the meeting, kept a smile throughout the whole process. He seemed to have not seen the conflict between Pan Liang and Ye Jingyi.
However, careful people still discovered that he was more optimistic about Pan Liang's "Fighting the World" operation, because the first print of this work has 200,000 volumes, while "Who Contends" has only 50,000 volumes.
In the popular novel market in China, because there is no piracy, the most common new works are released and the monthly sales of one million copies are top masters, the average master who has 500,000 copies is considered ordinary masters, and the average master who has 200,000 copies is considered.
The 200,000 volumes that can be printed in "The World of Martial Arts" are obviously a reflection of Beihai's status in the popular novel circle.
Ye Jingyi expressed her dissatisfaction with the first print of "Who and Contend" with only 50,000 copies. She mocked at the meeting: "Only print this little, be careful that the customer service phone number of our publishing house will be blown up, haha."
Deputy Editor-in-Chief Chen Shuda smiled and said, "If this happens, it will be a worry of our publishing house's happiness. Then it will be printed. Editor-in-chief Ye, the risk of being able to print 50,000 copies for the first time with a newcomer's debut work is already very high. Once its sales die, it will be a serious loss for the publishing house."
