Chapter 890
March 1st.
nine in the morning.
Peng Lan, the general manager of Qinzhou Huaxin Bookstore in Sucheng, took his personal assistant to the main store early to inspect.
At this time "Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been released.
She wanted to know the first-day sales of Chu Kuang's new book.
Because of the particularity of the situation, although all major bookstores in Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han have adopted conservative strategies, the total purchase volume is still not small. Everyone is worried about the sales volume, so people like Peng Lan went to a certain bookstore to see the situation in person. There are still a lot of people in charge.
However.
When Peng Lan and his assistant entered the Huaxin Main Store in Sioux City, they were taken aback by the situation inside.
Inside the bookstore.
Different seats are filled with customers next to each other.
If you observe carefully, you will find that almost everyone in this group of customers is holding a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
And in the foreground position.
The crowded crowd was a little noisy, and there were also a large number of customers holding "Legend of the Condor Heroes". They were checking out at the cashier, and the crowd was very noisy:
"Where is Chu Kuang's new book?"
"Chu Kuang's new book!"
"Me too, old thief with new book."
"Two copies of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, thank you!"
"This is the new book of the old thief Chu Kuang? Oh, yes, then I'll bring one, two, three, four, five... six books, and bring a few copies for the five sons in the dormitory by the way."
Peng Lan was dumbfounded.
The assistant next to him was also stunned.
If Chu Kuang wrote a mystery novel or something, the two of them would not be shocked by such a sales boom.
The old thief has this market appeal.
But the problem is that this is a martial arts novel!
When did the readers of Qin Qi Chu Yan Han become so interested in martial arts?
And even knowing that this martial arts novel was written by Chu Kuang for Zhao Zhou's readers?
Ask and see.
Peng Lan looked at a customer who was about to check out with "Legend of the Condor Heroes", and said curiously:
"Young man, do you like to read martial arts novels?"
"Who likes to watch this stuff." The young customer replied casually.
Peng Lan almost raised a black question mark: "If you don't like watching martial arts, why do you still buy them?"
The young customer took it for granted: "Buy it back and have a look!"
Peng Lan: "..."
Is this someone forcing you to look at it with a knife?
Seeing Peng Lan's reaction, the young customers acted as if your village hadn't connected to the Internet yet:
"Zhao Zhou's group of guys mocked us before. We want to watch Chu Kuang use this novel to torture them to death. How can we know how they were abused if we don't read it!"
ha?
Is this okay?
You buy books just to see how this novel abuses Zhao people?
Peng Lan's head was a little messed up, and she subconsciously asked:
"How do you know this book is abusive?"
"Chu Kuang old thief can write without abuse?"
A customer next to him who also bought "Legend of the Condor Heroes" couldn't help but open his mouth. He seemed to find Peng Lan's question very strange. Isn't this common sense?
The next few customers who were about to line up to check out also joined the discussion:
"This novel is ready to be filmed. The director is Ding Xiao. Have you heard of Ding Xiao? He is the guy who doesn't abuse the audience!"
"Chu Kuang and Ding Xiao! This combination represents Tiankeng!"
"I'm really looking forward to the scene of Zhao Ren being tortured and crying by the old thief!"
"Actually, it's not entirely the reason. It's mainly because I like to read Chu Kuang's novels."
"That's right, the old thief Chu Kuang hasn't published a new book for a long time. It's hard to catch up with such a book. Even a martial artist has to buy it and read it. I'm hungry."
"Hungry and unscrupulous food plus one."
"I can't help but want to read whatever he writes."
Peng Lan and his assistant looked at each other, and joy spread quickly on their faces!
In any case, it is a good thing that the novels are selling well, and the batch that came in should be able to sell!
Chu Kuang, be steady!
At this time, Huaxin was outside.
Similar scenes happened in other bookstores.
Obviously Chu Kuang wrote about martial arts, but all major bookstores were surprised to find that Qin Qi Chu Yan Han's readers still had a very high purchasing power!
Swish Swish Swish!
Everyone's relatively conservative inventory has perfectly responded to the scene, and there is no case of unsalable works!
This also made the heads of major bookstores breathe a sigh of relief.
"Thanks to my big structure!"
"Yeah, the main reason is that I have been educated by Chu Kuang more than once before, and I know that no matter how conservative his book is, at least hundreds of thousands of copies will be enough to sell."
"I didn't expect martial arts to be so popular one day."
"The old thief Chu Kuang is still the old thief who ignores categories."
"Actually, it can't be said that the category is ignored. Although the enthusiasm of readers is very high, it is still relatively martial arts. If Chu Kuang's new book is reasoning, believe it or not, the threshold of bookstores will be overwhelmed, and hundreds of thousands are not enough to sell."
"That's true."
"After all, it is a martial arts novel. No matter how enthusiastic the reader's response is, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still not as popular as his mystery novels. It was the publication of the Poirot and Sherlock Holmes series that really sold well, which is simply phenomenal."
...
Zhao Zhou.
The major bookstores are also full of people.
Although Zhao Zhou's understanding of Chu Kuang is far inferior to that of Qin Qi, Chu Yanhan, but he has always heard of the other party's name.
This time, the martial arts novel written by Chu Kuang happened to be Zhao Ren's favorite category.
Adhering to this kind of curiosity.
When the Zhao people passed by the bookstore, most of them couldn't help but bought a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" curiously.
And in a small bookstore on a street corner.
There are also many newly published "Legend of the Condor Heroes" placed on the bookshelf.
At this time.
An old man walked into the bookstore and picked up two copies of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" to check out.
"you are……"
After collecting the money, the bookstore owner suddenly stared at the old man in front of him, his voice trembling:
"Teacher Setting Sun?"
"I didn't expect anyone to know me."
The old man smiled freely: "I am the setting sun."
The owner of the bookstore was extremely excited in an instant: "Teacher Setting Sun, I am your fan, can you sign me? I have always treasured your works, especially the book "The Order of the Flower Moon". Collect money, it is my honor for idols to come to me to buy books!"
setting sun!
Zhao Zhou is the banner of the older generation of martial arts writers. His martial arts novels have almost influenced a generation, and he is a highly respected senior in the entire martial arts novel world!
Although Setting Yang officially closed his pen three years ago, his legends can be seen everywhere in the world.
The owner of this bookstore grew up reading setting sun's martial arts novels, setting sun is the god of martial arts in his heart!
"OK."
Setting Yang kindly agreed to the other party, and left after signing the signature, under the admiration and admiration of the boss. Of course, the money must still be paid.
After going out.
The setting sun came to a manor by car.
An old man of the same age as the setting sun was drinking tea in the manor. When he saw the setting sun approaching, he got up immediately:
"Brother Setting Sun, stay safe."
Setting Yang smiled and said: "Brother Duan is still so energetic, why choose to seal the pen like me."
If anyone else was present, they would definitely recognize the identity of the old man in the manor. This is Duan Qingyun, another top martial arts master in the Zhaozhou martial arts world.
There is a saying in the martial arts world of Zhaozhou that Taishan Beidou.
The setting sun is Mount Tai, and Duan Qingyun is Beidou.
Similar to Setting Sun, Duan Qingyun has also closed his pen for two years, and has not touched any martial arts novels in these two years.
"You still don't know why I sealed the pen?"
Duan Qingyun sighed: "There are not many things that martial arts can write, and I can't find a new way out."
After hearing the words, the setting sun was slightly silent.
Others only know that the Blue Star Martial Arts has declined, and only Zhao Ren has always maintained a very high enthusiasm for this category.
Few people know:
Even in Zhaozhou, the market for martial arts is shrinking year by year.
Maybe one day in the future, it will become like other continents, not interested in martial arts novels.
Just like Duan Qingyun said.
There are not many things that martial arts can write.
The two Taishan Beidou in the martial arts world chose to close their pens, definitely not because of lack of energy, but mainly because they felt the shackles of creation.
To be precise, it should belong to the shackles of martial arts.
Under such shackles, martial arts can't see a broader future at all.
Even if the two of them are recognized as Taishan Beidou in the world of martial arts, they can no longer write works that surpass themselves. This is the real reason why they have chosen to seal their pens one after another.
The atmosphere is a little sad.
Duan Qingyun shook his head and said: "Don't talk about this, we haven't seen each other for a long time, sit down and have a cup of tea, play a game of chess, by the way, what are you holding?"
"Novels, martial arts novels."
Setting Yang took out the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" that he bought from the bookstore: "To visit Brother Duan, how can you be empty-handed."
"Interesting, whose work is it?"
"Chu Kuang, you should have heard about it."
"It's like thunder, his "Journey to the West" makes me unable to put it down, and he also wrote martial arts novels? Let me see!"
Duan Qingyun became interested.
Setting Yang laughed and said, "Didn't you stop writing martial arts?"
Duan Qingyun rolled his eyes: "You don't want to write anymore? Let me see if you don't write about martial arts."
"It means that your martial arts heart is not dead."
The setting sun put it bluntly: "Like me, you also often pay attention to the works of other martial arts writers."
"Stop talking about these useless things."
Duan Qingyun and Setting Yang are old acquaintances, now they don't care much about politeness and politeness, and directly took a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" from the other party:
"Pour the tea yourself, I'm reading."
"Let's go together. I remember that we also sat together drinking tea and reading novels. It was quite pleasant."
The setting sun said with emotion.
The two were at the pinnacle of their creation in the past, constantly learning the works of other famous martial arts masters, so as to improve themselves, so the martial arts novels they created became more and more exciting.
It's a pity that in the past few years, both of them have been unable to catch up.
At that time, they understood that if martial arts novels want to break through, someone must open up a new path!
However, it is easy to open up new paths, but how difficult is it to do?
At least the two of them can't imagine how the new path should be taken, which is why they keep paying attention to other martial arts writers all the time, just hoping that someone can do what they can't do.
And in various moods.
The two have already opened the novel in their hands.
[The vast waters of the Qiantang River bypass the Niujia Village in Lin’an endlessly day and night, and flow eastward into the sea. There are dozens of black cypress trees in a row by the river, the leaves are as red as fire, and it is August. 】
The World of Condor Shooting slowly kicked off.
