Chapter 201 Wonderful Release
The website was actually hacked because of a novel. Such strange stories soon spread in the circle of young people, and this novel has been published in various news works.
Young netizens are very curious. Is "Pi" really that charming?
Even the mysterious hackers were attracted to them. If you don’t look at them now, wouldn’t it be out of date?
The more you can't see it, the more someone wants to see it.
This is the same as some banned films and banned books. Books that are not 404 are not good books!
China Writers Network was hacked for two hours. During this period, Nanhai Publishing Company and Menglong Culture Media received many calls and were almost scolded.
It’s normal to think about it. The official website of the China Writers Association, which has always been the leader in the industry, has actually been the scapegoat for others. How can those big masters sit still?
This is simply a disaster. If you can’t read the novel, you will go to the author and publishing house, and end up looking for someone else’s essay website.
I guess many writers are watching jokes, after all, this kind of excitement is not common.
In fact, there are many incidents of readers who are restless before publishing books, but most of them happen in series. Few groundbreaking works have caused an uproar in the Internet and even made the website black!
Zhou Kang was very happy. He just scolded him and happened to see the needs of readers. This was a good thing.
And I also received "kind greetings" from many netizens at Nanhai Publishing Company!
In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, the pressure from above made Zhou Kang start to closely connect with Gu Xinxue, and the two sides discussed what methods should be used to solve this matter.
In fact, the method is very simple. If readers want to read books, then satisfy their simple wish.
"Pi's Fantasy Drift" will be launched directly on e-books!
The publishing program for physical books has not been completed yet, so it is definitely difficult to print and distribute, but e-book sales are quite time-saving.
After all, Zhang Chu has already drawn the cover of the novel himself and has the content. He can just package it and hand it over to major electronic channel publishers!
This weird distribution method makes Zhang Chu look like he is developing in the direction of online writers. He will first watch it online and then release the physical version.
The difference is that online writers need to serialize and update every day, while "Young Pi" is released directly to the end of the book, saving readers the pain of chasing updates.
Therefore, major domestic e-reading channel merchants, together with Menglong Culture Media and Nanhai Publishing Company, released sales previews collectively, and the launch time was set at 12 noon on October 14, which is two hours later!
The efficiency is really amazing, and Zhang Chu has to agree with this weird release. Who made his fans get into trouble?
I will quickly send a letter to calm the public anger. If I drag it on like this, my email address may be hacked!
...
After seeing the unified time given by 13 e-book channel providers including Douban Reading, Duoju, Net Yiyun Reading, Amazon, Novel Reading, QQ Reading, etc., netizens who were already very upset finally stopped.
At least their approach has been compromised by the official, and the novel was released in advance. Although it was only an electronic version, it was basically enough!
No one expects physical books to pop out suddenly from the cracks in the stone, let alone users of social media such as Weibo and other social media are more accustomed to e-reading.
However, compared to the previous price of 5 yuan per copy on China Writers Network, the electronic version of "Boyant Pi" has now reached 9.99 yuan, which is doubled!
It can be put on the shelves in one go among the 13 most important channel dealers in the country at the same time. The staff of Menglong Culture Media and Nanhai Publishing Company have not known how much effort it took to complete it.
If it were an unknown person, those channel dealers probably wouldn't be able to unite. Fortunately, Zhang Chu is famous and is regarded as the hottest writer in recent times. The book "Young Pi" can indeed bring them a lot of benefits.
Otherwise, synchronization would be really just a dream!
However, Zhou Kang was a little uneasy and started selling e-books in advance, which meant that he was killing the sales potential of physical books. He didn't know what level of physical books could be sold in two or three weeks.
The most important point is that if the sales of physical books are not coordinated with the sales of physical books, they will not appear on the daily and weekly sales lists, which is equivalent to losing the biggest recommendation!
After all, in a lot of bookstores, consumers choose book works based on sales rankings. If November arrives, the e-book downloads will be close to saturation and will be off-peak with physical books.
It is even more difficult to make the staggered works to top the single-day list, let alone the weekly and monthly lists, unless the physical books perform particularly against the sky!
This was originally a work that was highly anticipated, but now that it has been tormented by this, many book predictions have lowered the physical sales of "Youth Pi", which is obviously not very optimistic.
Zhang Chu had no choice but to rely on it to be strong. After all, this is how the previous works were done, and he climbed up little by little with his own quality.
...
As soon as we arrived at twelve o'clock, the bell ringing in the teaching building immediately started.
Zhou Yong was not in a hurry to pack up his things and go to the cafeteria for dinner. He quickly took out his cell phone and unlocked it with his fingerprint.
"Don't you have lunch?" a friend asked.
He didn't raise his head and replied, "You guys go for dinner first. I'll see if there is Zhang Chu's book "Youth Pi" on QQ reading, saying it will be launched on time at twelve o'clock today."
"Is it the novel that Liu Kun mentioned before?" Another man carried his schoolbag, "Then we go first, you can go to the second canteen to find us."
"Then you go first, I'll order takeaway." Zhou Yong has now entered the QQ reading page. He occasionally reads online novels on it because it is more convenient to recharge, but it is the first time he has seen publishing works on this software.
After Zhou Yong entered the publishing channel, he found a huge advertising banner on the homepage. It was usually the place where the great masters banned it, but now he gave it to "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi"!
As soon as he clicked, he found that he jumped to the payment page. The ones who recharged before were virtual currencies, but now he must pay 9.99 yuan directly before he can read the next step.
The price has been announced long ago, and there is no channel for discounts, and Zhou Yong paid directly without hesitation. He has been looking forward to the content of the novel for a long time.
Starting from the award of "Young Pi", I accidentally saw several analytical book reviews, and I was completely trapped. I repeatedly found the present and finally I can see its true face.
Chapter completed!
