January 2, during the holidays.
Jiahui, a sophomore, is surfing the Internet out of boredom. There is still nearly a month before the final exam. Since she is not a high school student, it is still too early to review. Let's go out. The weather is too cold. The heated dormitory makes people miss it more.
Early in the morning, she ordered a fried chicken takeout and stayed in the dormitory with her roommate to watch TV series and browse Weibo.
"Hui, look at this poster." Her roommate sent her a picture. "This guy is quite handsome."
Jiahui took a look and said, "This is Shao Meng!"
"Oh, is it the one that filmed 'Mysterious Cases in the Song Dynasty'?" My roommate mentioned a costume drama that was once popular all over the country.
Jiahui nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, is he filming a new movie? Let me see it."
She is not a fan of celebrities, but Shao Meng has acted in many popular dramas, which have received high praise from the industry and the quality of the dramas is also guaranteed, which immediately aroused her interest.
The poster is a mixture of light and shadow, revealing only a white coat and the actor's face vaguely visible. The overall style is unlike the common medical dramas, and has a somewhat evil and cool feel.
No wonder my roommate was surprised, this poster has the style of an American TV series, and it doesn’t look like the popular domestic TV series, except that the stars’ faces are facing the audience’s faces.
"Devil Doctor? Kind of interesting." Jiahui followed the drama's Weibo post, and then related recommendation links appeared under this Weibo post.
"Devil Doctor 1+2 Set, light and shadow, good and evil, the two ends of the scale, who can dominate?"
It is a book recommendation.
It has been a long time since I bought a book, so Jiahui ordered one.
She didn’t know Jian Jing, but she felt like she had heard of the name vaguely. Then she looked at the recommended book reviews and realized that they all seemed to be famous people (although she wasn’t familiar with them either).
It should be ok.
Taking another look, wow, the book he wrote was made into a movie, and the previous hit even won an award.
This author must have something wrong.
Finally, I looked at the rating on BookChong.com, which is 8.5, which is a very good review.
Buy it and have a look.
Jiahui placed the order.
Yiwen is a 26-year-old office worker with no friends because it takes him more than an hour to go to the company from home and two hours to go back. After get off work, he just lies on the bed and has no interest or money for a relationship.
My only interest is buying comics and novels.
He was a loyal reader of Bing Jing, and he would occasionally read Jin Wu's books, and buy them if he saw a good one. Anyway, the online bookstore was very developed, and he could just sell the books online after reading them. It didn't take up space, and he could get his money back, so there was no pressure to download them.
Last night, the public reading account pushed new books from various publishers to him. "Devil Doctor 2", which sold more than 15,000 copies in one day yesterday, topped the list.
"Jian Jing's book." Yiwen hesitated a little. He was a boy, and he didn't like to read novels written by novice writers. They were either about love or love in disguise.
But this is not absolute. There are some authors whose books are still good, and Jian Jing is one of them.
He really likes Hide and Seek and has also seen Devil Part 1. Now that the second part has been released, he decided to download it first based on the good impression he had from the first part.
Just move the mouse and click once, and the purchase is successful.
The next moment, a “out of stock” message popped up on the website.
Now, the last bit of hesitation disappeared.
Fortunately, the water came down quickly. Yiwen secretly rejoiced.
The book will arrive soon.
Yiwen planned to watch it on his way to work tomorrow, but when I checked Weibo yesterday, many people started discussing Devil May Cry 2, saying that the style is very different from the first one, and it is very integrated and full of surprises.
His curiosity was aroused, and while he was thinking, "How good can a mystery written by a student be?", he felt itchy and started reading it immediately.
I read until twelve o'clock, finished two chapters, and fell asleep with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
The next day when he went to work, he put the book in his bag and continued reading on the subway.
Who knew that today's subway arrived so quickly that I had to start work before I could finish reading the third story.
This feeling is like being forced to stop defecating halfway, and the whole body feels uncomfortable.
Yiwen hadn't felt so anxious for a long time. When he got to the company and finished the morning meeting, he couldn't wait to go to the toilet with his book in his pocket. He squatted on the toilet for fifteen minutes at his own expense before coming out refreshed.
Ah, finally finished watching it, it was worth it!
After a hard day's work, Yiwen stood on the subway for more than an hour during the evening rush hour and finally finished watching "Devil Doctor 2" with satisfaction.
After returning home and taking a couple of bites of rice balls, he couldn't wait to open Bookworm.com, rate it, give it a full five stars, and then start posting.
"A good mystery novel has no gender, Devil 2 is scheduled to be the best work of the year"
"I am a male, with a straight orientation. I have posted about reading mystery novels before, so old bookworms may still have some impression of my ID. Without further ado, let's get to the point. These days, mystery novels written by straight authors cannot escape the vicious circle of love. Even if some of the mystery novels are actually well written, the emotional drama makes a straight man like me feel uncomfortable...
"But Jian Jing's Demon series doesn't have this kind of corny feeling. After reading the first story, I completely abandoned my gender bias - girl, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you! As long as you don't fall in love, your mystery works are not inferior to those written by men..."
Uncle Bing is 37 years old. After resigning from a publishing house two years ago, he started writing on the WeChat public account. The response has been good, and it has become a well-known reading account.
Last night, he compiled an article titled "Golden Crow vs. Morning Star, a battle of wits between old and new brands", which vividly depicted the battle between the two companies on New Year's Day.
The final result was that Morning Star signed nearly 35,000 contracts, while Golden Crow signed 46,000, achieving a complete victory.
This data is actually quite good. Uncle Bing thinks that Chenxing lost in the end, not because of any fault of his own. Jinwu invited a popular male star, although it was a "private event" and Jiang Baiyan also denied commercial cooperation, but the appeal was not on the same level.
Especially since Jinwu targeted Morning Star's customer base with precision, the result was not surprising.
After finishing this part of commercial content, Uncle Bing must of course publish another article that tops the list.
At the book signing yesterday, Jian Jing's "Devil Doctor 2" ranked first, and he had to read it no matter what. So after sending the first draft, he started reading this book.
To be honest, the content of 1 is already vague, but this is the advantage of the unit case. There is no need to recall the previous situation and you can directly enter the new case.
The first story is about a virtuous wife who used a secret room mechanism to kill her cheating husband, but was ultimately acquitted.
The devil could not judge her good or evil, so he sent her a letter and explained her methods of committing the crime one by one.
Then ask: [Is it you?]
The good wife did not answer.
The second article is about a murder case involving witchcraft. Needless to say, the content is exciting and bizarre. What is even more chilling is that there is a printed wanted poster inserted here, and the person on it is "Qitian".
Uncle Bing pays close attention to hot topics on the Internet, so he naturally remembers the haunted house incident that caused a big stir a few months ago.
He remembered that Jian Jing was the person who reported the discovery of the corpse.
After this, looking back at the details in the second case, one can't help but speculate how much is true and how much is fiction, and the hairs on my neck suddenly stand on end.
Uncle Bing is not a very courageous person and usually never reads horror novels. Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, he simply closed his book and went to sleep.
Well, let’s wait until the sun comes out tomorrow.
I didn't expect a little girl like Jian Jing to be able to write such an article. The industry previously said that she had "run out of ideas", which was really a bit of an exaggeration.
Uncle Bing turned over in bed. He had no desire to sleep at all, but his mind had already automatically started to think of the content for the new article.
The change in Jian Jing's two books can be said to be from cold warning notices to news reports. The former is more calm and objective, while the latter is more humane. From a literary point of view, it is difficult to judge which one is better, but for readers, news is definitely better than notices.
The next day, Uncle Bing finished reading the next two stories, one about revenge and one about manslaughter. The plots were not complicated, but they were full of twists and turns and were quite exciting.
He organized his thoughts and began to write the content for the official account.
Doctor vs Hunter, The Devil is in the World, Talk about the New Year's New Book, The Devil Doctor 2
"The day before yesterday, the editor published an article about the fierce competition between Jinwu and Chenxing. It must be said that in the past two years, the competition between publishers has become increasingly fierce. Jinwu is a well-established company. If it wants to earn a place in the market, it must discover high-quality works and cannot fall into clichés.
"Fortunately, Jian Jing's new book has achieved this. Compared with the dismal slander when the first book was released, it is unlikely that anyone will say anything defamatory about the second book. As I type this line, more than 1,000 people have rated it on Shuchong.com, which means that in just three days, so many people couldn't wait to buy it and read it, and all of them gave it high scores.
"The Demon Doctor 2 currently has a rating of 9.3. Of course, as the number of readers increases, this score will definitely drop a little, but it will definitely be difficult to fall below 8.5. Jian Jing integrates real cases into fictional stories, using the dual perspectives of demons and hunters. The edge between good and evil is often blurred. However, isn't this the contradiction of reality?"
He wrote more than 3,000 words in a leisurely manner, made a brief check and sent it out immediately.
On that day, the number of readings exceeded 100,000.
On New Year's Day, Ji Yunyun went to the book signing event early. Compared with other fans who only read the book, she obviously knew Jian Jing better.
Is this a young lady who only knows how to write novels
No!
She is a big sister who is really good at solving cases!
Saving lives in the hospital, digging up corpses in a haunted house, looking for gold in the park... Her stories are as exciting as novels.
Ji Yunyun has upgraded from a book fan to a fan of the author, and she made an appointment with her classmates to go and ask for an autograph early in the morning.
Unfortunately, there were too many people at the autograph session and I left without having the chance to say a few words to my idol.
Ji Yunyun had no choice but to go back home with her classmates to read novels.
Before watching the film, Ji Yunyun was a little worried. In her opinion, Devil 1 was already very good, and if Devil 2 didn't have enough highlights, it might receive another wave of negative reviews and be mocked for running out of ideas.
But after reading the book, all my worries disappeared.
Ji Yunyun seized the opportunity and took the lead by shouting in the reader group: [If we don’t occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will! We can’t let Teacher Jian be bullied like last time! ! ]
After a while, he was unwilling to give up and complained: [Jinwu is really old. It is better to rely on me to make water by myself than to rely on him]
Group member 1: [My book hasn't arrived yet. Is Demons 2 good? I heard there are new characters.]
Group member 2: [Yes, there is one more hunter. I am so worried. Will it be a mess?]
Group member 3: [Going after the devil, don’t steal the spotlight from the devil]
Ji Yunyun: [Although the demon is still the protagonist, the hunter is not bad either. I feel that these two characters are one and the same. It feels more complete and very good! ! ]
Group member 4: [Devil x Hunter, a good couple, I’m already buying it]
Ji Yunyun: [Black and white are in opposition, and grudges from past lives are very touching!]
Group member 5: [Wait, there is no main character? I have been waiting for Teacher Jian to write a love scene]
Group member 4: [The story about sex offenders she wrote is also quite interesting, with a pair of best friends, very gay, and also very good to watch]

On January 5, the sales of "Devil Doctor 2" on major book websites reached 100,000. This number is not impressive, because most readers choose to buy it in nearby bookstores. In fact, the same-city delivery service of bookstores is very developed, and it only takes half a day to arrive, so there is no need to wait for more days.
But starting from January 6, online sales started to run wild and kept climbing—the reason was simple: the bookstores were out of stock… readers who couldn’t buy the book had no choice but to place orders online.
Online sales climbed to 300,000 and then came to a sudden halt.
Out of stock.
On January 10, the product was out of stock across the entire network.
