"Superlative?"
Lin Yuan received a call from Yang Feng, who said that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has been decided to be published, and the publicity and promotion of the novel will be on the highest scale, which is a treatment that only the top writers in the publishing house can get.
"Yes."
Yang Feng explained: "Given the performance of your first two novels, this treatment is actually normal. However, the company has another purpose in giving you the highest level of publicity, which is to hope that you can be selected into a list."
"What list?"
"After the merger of Qin and Qi, the novel circles of both sides naturally merged as well. Weren't you previously selected as the tenth in the ranking of Qin and Qi short story writers by the Literary Gazette? This is one of the changes brought about by the merger of the two sides. Naturally, we also have similar selections in the field of long fantasy."
"oh."
Lin Yuan did not comment.
Yang Feng smiled and said, "The Literary Gazette is responsible for the selection of short stories, while the selection of long fantasy stories is more important, so the organization responsible for the selection is the Literature and Art Association after the merger of Qin and Qi. They plan to hold two selections. The first selection is for the golden masters in the fantasy field, and the second standard is the supreme god in the fantasy field. In the future, each industry will probably set up similar standards, just like the music industry has golden composers and so-called song fathers..."
"What good is that?"
Lin Yuan doesn't care about these false reputations at all. The gold medal composers in the music industry can get higher profit-sharing contracts from the company. As for Qu's father, that is even more amazing. This is what Lin Yuan values most.
"Of course!"
Yang Feng immediately said: "If you can become a gold medal god, your contract with our company will definitely be upgraded to a higher level. We will discuss the details later. Of course, I also know that Teacher Chu Kuang doesn't care about these things, he just wants us to show an attitude. As for the Supreme God, there is little hope because Teacher Chu Kuang's sales are not enough, but we can give it a try. If we are rated, it will be amazing..."
"Understood."
The great god is the gold medal.
The Supreme God is Qudie.
Lin Yuan’s biggest flaw at the moment is his insufficient sales. His novels are actually very popular, but he has only been in the industry for a short time. Without a certain amount of accumulation, Lin Yuan’s sales cannot be compared with those top writers who have been writing for decades.
But Lin Yuan has his own advantages.
He has successively created two new genres in the fantasy field, plus the tomb-robbing genre that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is about to create. These achievements can be counted as Lin Yuan's influence. If there is really a selection, these things will be taken into consideration. As for the intention of Silver Blue Bookstore to give his new book the highest publicity, it is naturally to help him get a higher rating. After all, the greater the influence of the company's authors, the greater the influence of the company.
"That's all you need to know."
Yang Feng finally smiled and said, "This matter has been circulating in the industry and outside the industry recently. It is said that the selection will officially start in June, so your new book is released at the right time. However, because there is such a selection in June, many authors will release books in June, and "Ghost Blowing the Light" is the new book that our Silver Blue Library values most in June..."
"Um."
Lin Yuan didn't say much.
Regardless of the results of the selection, at least the top-level publicity arranged by the Silver Blue Bookstore is a good thing. Just like film and television publicity, novels also need to be promoted before they are released. Proper publicity can increase sales. After all, good wine needs no bush.
Reputation reversal
Relying on word-of-mouth to rise again in the later stage is certainly a good story script, but it is actually just out of helplessness towards reality. Wouldn’t it be better if the popularity could explode from the beginning
As expected.
After notifying Lin Yuan, the Silver Blue Library started to operate in full swing. Ghost Blows Out the Light entered the highest level of publicity. Not only was there a large banner on the official website, but there were also pervasive city advertisements and newspapers. Even the literary section of the tribe had an advertisement, saying that Chu Kuang was about to release a new novel and so on...
You know.
Under normal circumstances, the tribe rarely accepts this kind of novel advertisements, but this is Chu Kuang's new book after all, and the tribe has always had a good cooperative foundation with Chu Kuang, so when the Silver Blue Bookstore came to them for cooperation, the tribe agreed without much consideration. It is better to say that it is a bit of a favor to Chu Kuang rather than giving face to the Silver Blue Bookstore.
The result was successful.
Wow, full of publicity!
After this series of combined efforts, within a few days, advertisements for Chu Kuang’s new book were everywhere, and everyone who paid attention to novels knew that Chu Kuang’s new book was about to be released. Anyone could see that this was the highest level of publicity an author could get from a publishing house.
besides.
The promotional slogan used by Silver Blue Bookstore for Chu Kuang’s new book is also very bold, and is no less arrogant than Chu Kuang’s previous book: Chu Kuang’s new book will be released on June 1st, and "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will be the first of its kind!
at the same time.
There are even more slogans that appear almost everywhere on the Internet. For example, some novel forums have this kind of advertisements that make people curious: "Faqiu seal, Mojin talisman, moving mountains and removing ridges to find dragons; people light candles, ghosts blow out lights, surveying and digging graves to find star peaks. Mercury spots, funerary objects, countless dragon towers and palaces; buried coffins, bronze jars, don't approach if you don't have a strong horoscope!"
People light candles!
Ghost Blows Out the Light!
Although the style of the promotional artwork is completely different from Chu Kuang's previous two novels, and is very much like a supernatural novel, many readers actually like this kind of mysterious feeling, which highlights the mysterious power, especially Chu Kuang's fans:
“It feels like a new genre again!”
“After the first two books, although I really hope Chu Kuang will continue to write Xianxia or sports competitions, I will still support him if he wants to write a new genre, because I believe in Chu Kuang’s writing ability, and the first two books have proved everything!”
“The advertisement is so powerful!”
"Old Chu Kuang has become one of the faces of the Silver Blue Library. His sales may not be the best, but his influence is extremely high. After all, he has led two waves of trends in a row. He is definitely a big pioneer. How dare the Silver Blue Library not give him face?"
“I’m looking forward to it!”
"Chu Kuang Lao Zei has finally published a new book. It seems that he is quite productive. However, I will not read it. Ever since Chu Kuang Lao Zei killed Bi Yao, I have decided not to read any of his novels anymore. I am posting this as proof!"
“Released in June?”
"There are too many new books released in June. I guess they are all for the Great God selection. There is also the Supreme God. However, the release in June can only be regarded as a last-minute cram. It mainly depends on past achievements. With Chu Kuang's ability, it will definitely be no problem for him to win a Great God award."
"… "
And within the industry.
All major publishing companies frowned at the same time. In the most competitive market environment, Chu Kuang suddenly released a new book. This was not good news for everyone, because the industry had already witnessed Chu Kuang's abilities twice.
In fact.
Since the launch of the highest-level publicity and advertising, major booksellers have contacted Silver Blue Bookstore and pre-ordered a certain number of Chu Kuang's new books. After experiencing the tragic accident last time, no one dared to question Chu Kuang easily again.
"Are you here for the Great God?"
"Even if Chu Kuang doesn't publish a new book in June, with the influence of his first two books, it won't be a big problem for him to get the Great God title. I guess he wants to rank higher. It depends on the quality of his new book."
"It shouldn't be bad."
"That's not necessarily true. The scale of publicity and promotion is an author's reputation. For big-name authors, publishers will give them reputation regardless of whether their new book is good or not. Just based on their previous achievements, whether the content of their new book is good or not is another matter."
"… "
There is discussion in the industry that the name Chu Kuang is well-known, but now that Qin and Qi have merged, not everyone knows who Chu Kuang is, because half of the base in the market are readers from Qi Province.
Yes.
Although some readers in Qi Province have read Chu Kuang's "Zhu Xian" after the merger of the two continents, the number is small after all. The two sides have not yet completely merged with each other, and they are still in a state of knowing only a little about the writers next door, so many people have raised questions:
"Is Chu Kuang very powerful?"
"This Chu Kuang is quite powerful. His new book advertisement was even put on the bus I often take. In our Qi Province, writers of this level are already the top in a certain field."
"Is it really that cool?"
"I've read Chu Kuang's short story 'The Necklace', it's really well written, I didn't expect he could also write a long fantasy novel, which happens to be my favorite genre, I want to see if Chu Kuang is really that good."
"… "
The readers from Qin Province naturally rushed to spread information about Chu Kuang to the readers from Qi Province: "Chu Kuang was the first to write long novels. All the popular sports and competitive articles in Qinzhou followed Chu Kuang's style. The popular fairy-tale novels in Qinzhou also followed Chu Kuang's style. Old Kaishan Monster, do you want to know more about him?"
With pride.
With a bit of bragging.
Anyway, after being educated, readers in Qi Province were indeed full of expectations and planned to see what level "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was. This was another reason why Silver Blue Bookstore arranged the highest level of publicity for Chu Kuang's new book:
Win the selection!
Expand the market!
Let Chu Kuang become a great writer steadily, and at the same time let the readers in Qi Province know Chu Kuang's strength, so that the sales of Chu Kuang's novels can reach a higher level.
Without a doubt.
Silver Blue Library is still very optimistic about the quality of "Ghost Blowing the Light". Although this novel has some internal controversy, such as some people are worried that readers will not accept the first-person perspective, and some people are worried that the genre of this novel is not very suitable for fantasy novels, but everyone agrees that:
This novel is wonderful.
All the major publishing houses are keeping a close eye on the selection. Whoever has more great gods and supreme gods under their banner is more powerful. Silver Blue Bookstore naturally wants to lend a helping hand to Chu Kuang...
———
ps: There is still one chapter left. I will eat something and continue writing. For this selection, everyone can understand it as the God of Dian Niang and the Platinum of Dian Niang.
