Chapter 721: Word of Mouth
In Nanhai Publishing Company, Gu Xinxue looked at the news posted on different websites and felt like he had removed the heavy burden.
"At present, it seems that "Norwegian Forest" has a good reputation, but it is more deceptive now, so it depends on the market's test in the end!"
The reputation of most book and work trials or movie previews will not be too bad.
First of all, they must have enough confidence in their works before they can hold a trial reading session. If they are not optimistic about this work, how could they spend so much effort to promote it!
Secondly, the media and readers of the trial reading session were selected. In this way, many works will actually experience a big decline after being released after being released.
Gu Xinxue doesn't want Zhang Chu's works to be the same. He hopes that the market can truly recognize Zhang Chu's things.
"Old Gu, you are worrying about nothing! Who doesn't know that the two words Zhang Chu can sell hundreds of thousands of copies printed on a wordless book? I think what you should worry about is whether he will directly transform and keep writing this type of book!"
The colleague next to him said jokingly, and this statement made Gu Xinxue shudder.
He had never considered this before, "If Zhang Chu kept moving forward on the road of literature in the future, I would have cried."
"Look, he actually has a trend in this regard. "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" and "Farewell My Concubine" are the simplest examples. If these two works are published individually, they will not be sold so much. Even "Boyant Pi" is not because of how literary it is, but the story of the reversal of the ending and the story of survival with the tiger at sea."
Publishing companies are an extremely realistic place. What Gu Xinxue wants is works that can continue to sell well, rather than make something with high literary value.
They are serious businessmen to make profits!
Unless literary works can be sold more, no one will like them.
Gu Xinxue shuddered in his heart. Originally, Zhang Chu wrote this type of book, but now it seems that the frequency is getting higher and higher!
If the media and fellow writers advocate and teachers brainwash them, the young Zhang Chu may be immersed in the world of literature.
"This is not possible. I have to pull him back to the popular bestseller field!"
As for how to do it specifically, Gu Xinxue has no idea at this time. He can't just promote it with him on QQ or WeChat directly?
...
Anything that happened to the trial reading meeting was the focus of Zhang Chu's fans. At present, so many media and netizens have updated their own content that makes them scattered in different parts of the country anxious.
Why do anyone dislike it?
It seems that book reviewers and media commented quite well!
What exactly is this book about?
Questions like this linger in their hearts, and they could hardly find any answers.
"Oh, it is said that more than a thousand people have passed by the scene. If I had known, I would have been thicker, so I would have seen it."
"I read a lot of reviews, but why do I feel that everyone is saying differently?"
"I think such comments are quite real, and there is no one-sidedness!"
"When will "Norwegian Forest" be launched?"
"This will be the first youth love I bought, I feel quite ashamed!"
"I look forward to it, Zhang Chu has never disappointed me."
"Is this love story still a Chinese and foreigner, right? I have already thought about the plot for them, and I must be a beautiful Norwegian girl."
"Where are spoilers? Why can't you find any spoilers for so many comments!"
Usually, people don’t like to be spoiled when reading books, but now they are all looking forward to the specific content that someone can reveal.
Otherwise, if you want to reverse the story details from the evaluation, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
Judging from the current situation, everyone still has a certain sense of awe of the confidentiality clause. It is estimated that after leaving the centenary commemorative lecture hall, they will become increasingly indifferent to it.
If it is a mini trial session of 60 people, then the content will definitely be easier to keep it confidential.
But now more than 1,200 people have obtained works. Even though most people only have trial readings of tens of thousands of words, it will have an impact if they spread them!
For writers, readers and fans are two different types, just like audiences and fans.
Readers actually don’t care whether the story content has been spoiled or leaked. They just like this work so they buy it to read it.
If there were no spoilers, how did they know that this book was good?
It is far from enough to rely solely on the praise of book reviewers. It also requires real reputation and word of mouth in the true sense!
"The Forest of Norway" is a slow-hot type and cannot conquer readers all over the world by relying on trial reading books like "The Da Vinci Code".
So it needs to be fermented slowly and those who need to read the complete book give their opinions and opinions.
When tens of thousands of words were seen, there were still several characters who did not appear, which could not represent the entire book at all!
Among the 1,200 people who came to participate in the trial reading meeting, dozens of them were students of Yan University.
These academic masters completely ignored the upcoming final exam tomorrow and spent most of their day on Zhang Chu's new book. They were almost ready to take the exam.
After three o'clock in the afternoon, with the reminder of the staff, these readers had to pack up their luggage and belongings and start leaving the centenary lecture hall.
Hanlin Cultural Media has organized many cars, including those heading to subway stations, those heading to high-speed rail stations, and those heading to airports, so as to facilitate readers as much as possible.
With so many people coming out all of a sudden, transportation is indeed a long time. Only a small number of locals in Yanjing drove to the campus.
Readers from all over the world gathered for this short period of time and are now scattered all over the place.
Deng Qing asked casually: "Do you have any friends from Dongcheng District? If so, you can go along with me!"
"I'm going to Wangfujing. Who are you together? You can sit four people."
"If you are near Yuetan Stadium, please come with me. Don't worry, I will never abduct you."
The drivers who drove were a bit like black cars soliciting customers, but this was just a voluntary help. Everyone was in the same group. Anyway, the car was empty and it was better to help them take it back.
"Are there anyone going to the near Zhongmei? Any school gate of Zhongmei can do it."
"When I go to the Dongcheng District, can you take me to Rafos Square? I stay in the hotel there."
The scene was a bit noisy, but many of these readers were organized, so they quickly became orderly.
People with cars should try to take away readers nearby or along the way. Many people are big men, and there is no worry about safety in places like Yanjing!
