Chapter 220 Official Release
Chapter 220 Official Release
Great God, supreme.
The selection seems to be very secondary.
But readers who like to read fantasy novels, who doesn't have the second attribute?
The official naming of this selection is probably catering to young readers who like this category of novels.
After all, everyone still likes to call their favorite authors "great gods".
There are also called "old thieves".
But this title is a minority.
Only those writers who readers love and hate will be called old thieves by readers.
If there was an "Old Thief" selection, Chu Kuang, a writer who wrote Baguio to death, would probably be on the list.
Lin Yuan didn't care about these false names...
Until he knows that Supreme God can get a better contract.
At that moment, Lin Yuan yearned for the so-called "Supreme God", as if he was looking forward to becoming "Father Qu".
In contrast, apart from getting a good reputation, the selection of short stories seems to have no real benefits?
Of course there are some benefits.
It’s just that when it comes to making money, it’s a fact that novels overwhelm short stories, which is why Lin Yuan never gave up writing novels.
In the following days, Lin Yuan consciously paid attention to the selection trend.
The "Literary News", which previously ranked Qin Qi's short story writers, is a newspaper affiliated to the Literature and Art Association, and it can be regarded as a subordinate unit.
The short stories were submitted to the "Literary News" for selection.
The selection of novels is conducted by the headquarters of the Literature and Art Association, and the preparations have been made for some time, otherwise the outside world would not know in advance.
Lin Yuan, who has too many cross-industries, doesn't know the new information of some industries.
And when the time came to mid-May.
The selection of the Great God and the Supreme God finally revealed more details.
The Literature and Art Association published an article on the "Literary News": "In the future, the selection will be held every year, so there will be new great gods and supreme gods born every year. The specific number is to be determined, but the number of people for the first session has been determined. We will be fair and just. Openly select ten great god-level fantasy writers, and three supreme gods..."
really.
The most difficult supreme god, there are only three places, and there is a high probability that they will be given to some top fantasy writers who have been famous for many years and have stable results!
The number of great gods is relatively more, a total of ten.
No wonder Yinlan Shuku thinks that Chu Kuang can win the place of Great God.
Although he debuted relatively late, Chu Kuang's influence is not comparable to that of ordinary novelists!
Many people in the industry have even begun to predict.
This kind of ranking can actually predict part of the results in advance. After all, editors in the industry know the achievements of novelists best.
In the vast majority of predictions, Chu Kuang is among them.
"In terms of sales volume, Chu Kuang's selection as a great god has little advantage, but it can't support Chu Kuang's industry influence. He has created two new types of writers in a row. It is not too much to take a great god."
Many people agree with this.
No one can deny the fact that the sports novels and fairy tale novels pioneered by Chu Kuang have supported many authors.
The impact of the mountain monster is too great.
Especially Xianxia novels, which are so popular now!
Someone has counted...
The combination of Xianxia and sports themes in the Qin Province market can already occupy one-fifth of the market share in the fantasy field!
In other words.
One-fifth of the writers in the market are following the two themes created by Chu Kuang!
A fifth is small?
No, it's terrible for the entire Qin province.
certainly.
Now that Qin and Qi have merged, this market share must have shrunk a lot, but this resume is brilliant enough for Chu Kuang.
...
Editors are predicting, and readers are predicting too.
Readers liked this forecast more than editors, and even made specific rankings.
Some people think that although Chu Kuang can enter the list of great gods, his ranking should not be particularly high, because Qin Qi's fantasy writers have to participate in the selection...
Qi Sheng's fantasy novels are indeed not as good as Qin Sheng's.
But that's only relative.
There are also many powerful fantasy writers in Qi Province.
Even for the sake of fairness, Qi Province will inevitably have several fantasy writers selected, but the number may be inferior to Qin Province.
But it's pointless to make more predictions now.
Because the ongoing results will not be officially announced until after July.
current market.
Everyone is more concerned about how the new batch of books released in June will perform.
There are many great writers in June.
Among them, there are three works that attract the most attention.
The authors are:
Chu Kuang, Devil Boy, and Master Hai.
Needless to say, Chu Kuang is the top card of the Yinlan library in June, the highest announcement.
Devil Boy also released a book in June, titled "Sword Fairy Down the Mountain".
His reputation is not less than that of Chu Kuang, as the top card in June supported by Dingsheng, he is also the highest publicity, the goal is to stabilize the selection of the great gods!
As for Master Hai...
This is the top brand of Qixing Sky Publishing House, and the title of the book is "My Other World is a Primitive Society".
Needless to say, it is also the highest announcement, but the subject matter is a traditional adventure in another world...
Mo Tong is suspected of following Chu Kuang.
But now Xianxia has formed a trend, so everyone doesn't mention whether to follow the trend or not.
When many people are writing about a subject, the subject forms a genre.
It can't be said that all the immortals on the earth follow the trend of "Piao Miao".
It's just that when I first came out, everyone would talk about following the trend, and I won't mention it later.
all in all.
The publicity of these three novels is the most vigorous. Apart from these three, of course there are also some other novels released.
But obviously, it is impossible to warm up with the highest announced card.
Booksellers are also making choices.
On the Yinlan library side, there are of course many booksellers who pre-ordered "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
However, the June new books of the two novelists, Master Hai and Devil Boy, were also pre-ordered by major booksellers.
Just compare the pre-order data...
"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" by Yinlan Library has not yet been released, but it has already sold one million copies.
"My Other World is a Primitive Society" by Sky Publishing House has not yet been released, and it has also sold one million copies so far.
The most fierce in its heyday, Demon Boy's "Sword and Immortal Down the Mountain", pre-sold 1.3 million copies!
It's not that the devil boy is stronger than the other two.
The main reason is related to the subject matter.
Because there is no category of tomb robbery in the market, the theme classified by Yinlan Library for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is horror and suspense——
Unpopular.
That is to say, after "Zhu Xian", the industry dare not treat Chu Kuang with common sense, otherwise the initial treatment of this book will not be better than Chu Kuang's previous one.
In contrast, "My Other World Is a Primitive Society" has played a lot steadily. Although readers are tired of traditional adventures in other worlds, they are still the most active type in the market.
As for Devil Boy's "Sword and Immortal Down the Mountain", this book has the highest pre-sale because it is a fairy tale!
Xianxia is the freshest theme at the moment, and several popular books have been published, and this time the person who wrote it is Mo Tong, so the booksellers will naturally buy it!
Why?
Because Devil Boy has many nicknames, such as "Death Original Series", "Follow the Wind King", "Magic Reform King" and so on.
You can tell by the nickname...
Devil Boy is very good at following trends, and he doesn't follow trends blindly, he will add his own details and thinking, make changes, and the final results of the novels he writes are often better than the novels he followed!
This is a kind of ability.
Many powerful writers in the industry have this ability, but Mo Tong is undoubtedly the best.
Some people even wonder if the results of "Sword Immortal Down the Mountain" can surpass the Mountain Creator...
That is Chu Kuang's "Zhu Xian"?
...
Lin Yuan cared about the selection of great gods, but he didn't care about the new book competition in June.
Although the battle over the new book has affected the effect of his highest-level announcement.
This is natural.
If only one best-selling author opens a new book in the same period, then everyone's attention will naturally focus on this best-selling author.
But if there are several best-selling authors publishing books in the same period, everyone's attention will inevitably be scattered.
Booksellers have to make judgments too...
When bookstores sell books, they basically have featured works.
If the works they choose to promote do not perform well, it will affect their income.
Of course.
They can make adjustments according to the situation.
For example, if the book they are promoting has a bad grade, then they can change it to promote another book that sells well...
But it depends on whether the bookseller signs other contracts when pre-ordering the novel.
If they have other contracts, such as writer signing events, their featured titles cannot be easily changed.
In fact.
There are also big booksellers who hope that Chu Kuang can cooperate with the bookstore to hold a "Ghost Blowing Lamp" signing event, which is a good way to stimulate sales.
Fans of Chu Kuang may buy "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for Chu Kuang's signature, even if they may not like the book.
But Lin Yuan refused after receiving Yang Feng's call.
Although he really wanted to make this money, once he held a book signing event, he would not be far from losing his horse.
This is the downside of too many vests.
Lin Yuan decided to continue to be a quiet nesting doll.
On the contrary, Devil Boy and Young Master Hai have signed additional contracts with different booksellers, and are planning to do book signing activities, aiming to get higher sales in June.
But Lin Yuan also has his own way of publicity.
Through Chu Kuang's account, he publicized the news that "Ghost Blowing Lantern" will release a new book in June.
Then, he used the accounts of Yingying and Xianyu to forward and recommend it.
These three accounts are concerned with each other, with one heart and one mind, highlighting one to advance and retreat together!
Also because of the bundling of the three accounts, fans are extremely excited every time they see these three accounts playing a small linkage. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a cute enclosure, similar to the behavior of forcibly locking CP, and one lock I locked three of them with a heavy taste.
"Today's threesome has begun!"
"A love triangle?"
"Sura field?"
"In the past, there were only Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, but now there is an extra shadow. I feel that Chu Kuang is the core, and Xian Yu and the shadow are competing for favor..."
"You guys are so dirty (shy)"
"As we all know, when Chu Kuang posts a post, Xian Yu and Ying Ying will definitely forward it."
"..."
The three-person CP is as stable as a dog. Netizens like to tease the circle of friends formed by Chu Kuangxianyu and Ying Ying. All kinds of stalks emerge one after another, so every time they link up, they will understand the bad tastes of netizens. one strike.
Lin Yuan didn't know if this kind of bundled publicity would be good for sales, anyway, he didn't pay any more attention after finishing this matter.
At this time, May has quietly ended.
June.
A large number of new books are on the shelves of major bookstores.
Chu Kuang's third novel "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is officially published!
