"receive."

"receive."

"receive."

"Watch it tonight."

Dingsheng’s editors replied in the group.

As for the thought of "Did the editor-in-chief make a mistake somewhere?", of course, everyone only thought about it in their hearts and no one dared to say it out loud.

After get off work.

The editors of Dingsheng went to the bookstore in confusion, but were shocked to find that the signs at the entrances of all major bookstores had similar slogans.

The slogan is:

"The Prince of Tennis in this store has been sold out. We will restock it tomorrow. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Sold out

The bookstore even put up a special slogan

At this moment, the editors of Dingsheng vaguely realized that something was wrong!

Because the bookstore can put up a special slogan, it means there are many readers who want to buy "The Prince of Tennis", which is a treatment only popular books can get!

so…

Is this book popular

One of the editors at Dingsheng looked at his colleague in surprise and asked, "Have you ever heard of a sports novel that became a big hit?"

"No."

My colleague thought for a long time, finally shook his head, and then uttered four words with absolute certainty: "Unprecedented!"

Bookstores are a barometer of sales.

Bookstores always know best which books are popular and which are not!

Given the close relationship between major publishers and bookstores, it is not difficult to know the sales status of "The Prince of Tennis".

So, the next few days!

The eyes of the entire industry are focused on this book and its author Chu Kuang!

“I didn’t expect that.”

Even experienced editors in many industries exclaimed: "Sports and competitive themes can actually sell so well."

“Incredible.”

"This new novelist named Chu Kuang has proved one thing with The Prince of Tennis: as long as the writing is good, sports and competitive themes can also be successful!"

"Is this a mountain monster?"

"It's not that no one has written about sports and competitive themes before, but no one has ever made them popular. According to industry norms, whoever makes a theme popular is the pioneer of that theme, so this statement is correct."

"yes."

"In the future, there will probably be many novelists who follow suit and write about sports and competitions. Even these people will acknowledge Chu Kuang's status as the pioneer of sports and competition themes."

"… "

Not just the editorial circle.

The discussion about "Prince of Tennis" is also very high in the reader circle, and posts about this book can be seen in many novel forums:

“I recommend Prince of Tennis!”

“I’ve read this book too, it’s really good.”

"I have been reading youth fantasy novels for many years, and I especially love themes about adventures in other worlds. After reading The Prince of Tennis, I became interested in this genre for the first time in my life."

"I thought my taste was too niche, but I didn't expect so many people like Prince of Tennis!"

"Hahaha, me too. I recommended The Prince of Tennis to my friend yesterday, but he didn't want to read it, saying he wasn't interested in tennis-themed books. It wasn't until I forced him to read the first chapter that my book became his..."

Qinzhou's book market has always been bustling.

If we only talk about sales, there are some movies that are higher than "Prince of Tennis".

Many popular novelists have terrifying monthly sales of their works.

But the scary thing about "The Prince of Tennis" is that it is clearly a sports-themed work. From the conventional perspective of the industry, it is so unpopular that it cannot be more unpopular. However, it is as popular among readers as many other popular themes!

This is undoubtedly a bombshell for the industry.

While the entire industry was blown away, major publishing houses suddenly provided unprecedented support and promotion for sports and competitive novels!

Han Qi is a tennis player.

He is a well-known professional tennis player in Qinzhou.

After finishing the internal training today, Han Qi was strolling outside when he suddenly received a message from a friend on the communication: "Today I learned that tennis is so interesting. You have a game tomorrow, I will go to watch your game, remember to save a ticket for me!"

"Okay, but why do you say that suddenly?"

Han Qi was very puzzled because his friend had never been interested in tennis.

After becoming a professional player, I took the other person to watch two tennis matches. As a result, the other person yawned when I saw him. I didn’t expect that today he would take the initiative to ask to watch a professional tennis match.

"I knew you hadn't heard of it!"

My friend said, "I recently read a novel called The Prince of Tennis. It's about tennis. It's really good. You can read it if you have time!"

"… "

Han Qi sent out a series of ellipsis marks, and then said, "Tennis novels should be written by laymen. Tennis novels written by laymen are probably only meant to fool laymen like you."

"well enough."

My friend said, “Anyway, I feel like the description of tennis in it is pretty professional, pretty much the same as what you told me before.”

Han Qi shook his head: "That's for sure. Basic tennis knowledge can be found online. If someone dares to write a tennis novel, he must have done some basic homework. Maybe the author is a tennis enthusiast. There are still many amateur tennis enthusiasts in Qinzhou."

"Who cares?"

My friend didn’t plan to chat anymore: “You can find out if you read the novel. I’ll contact you tomorrow.”

"All right."

Han Qi laughed. He, a professional tennis player, failed to make his friends interested in tennis, but a novel did it.

At this time, Han Qi happened to pass by the bookstore.

With an idea in mind, he went straight in and bought the copy of "Prince of Tennis" that his friend mentioned.

As a professional tennis player, he is actually very happy to see that someone is willing to write novels about tennis. Who doesn't want their profession to be more popular

Such novelists should also be supported.

Back in the dormitory, Han Qi picked up "Prince of Tennis" and flipped through a page at random.

"Huh?"

After reading for two minutes, Han Qi was somewhat surprised to find that the tennis knowledge in this book was quite professional and the author did not fool the layman.

However, this knowledge is relatively basic.

So Han Qi casually flipped through the book again, but was shocked to find that even though the book involved some advanced tennis knowledge, the descriptions were very rigorous and there was not a single mistake!

“It seems the author understands it very well.”

Ordinary amateur tennis enthusiasts simply don’t have such extensive knowledge of tennis!

He gradually became interested and officially opened the first chapter and started reading from the beginning.

When he was a student, Han Qi also loved reading novels.

It’s just that he’s been busy playing tennis after graduation, so he doesn’t read much. Today he reads a novel as a way to relax before tomorrow’s game.

brush.

The papers that exuded the fragrance of ink were turned page by page, and Han Qi became more and more absorbed in reading...

By this time, it was already dark.

The phone suddenly rang with an alarm, and Han Qi suddenly came to his senses: "Fuck, it's already ten o'clock? There's a game tomorrow!"

It hurts so much!

Han Qi has been completely attracted by "The Prince of Tennis" and can't wait to finish it in one breath.

But if you finish reading this book, you may not get a good rest tonight, which may easily affect your performance in tomorrow's game.

"Let's watch it after the game!"

Han Qi gritted his teeth, suppressed his reluctance, closed the book, and then with great willpower, turned off the lights and went to sleep!
