Chapter 461: Unexpected, but Reasonable

It's 12 o'clock.

Xiaoxing looked at the rising data of "Lord of Fools" and said, "In fact, I was like you at the beginning. I also thought that Pu's book was probably a failure."

"The title, introduction, sense of substitution, and the three golden chapters. No matter which angle you look at it, it is not outstanding. For Pu Dingle, Pu Shen, they are all too mediocre, and there are even serious problems with the sense of substitution."

Hearing Xiaoxing say this, Zhu Shiheng and Niu Zi couldn't help but nod subconsciously.

They are all old editors, so they can naturally see the problems in this aspect. Pu's writing style is better, but the writing style is too delicate and the excitement is not dense. This is completely different from Pu's previous style.

Xiao Xing continued, "But! As Mr. Pu's first editor, I know that things are not as simple as I thought. If others write slow and lack excitement, it will not be like this!

From his first novel "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King", I knew that he was a person who was very good at writing excitement. Every book after that was very exciting. Every copy of "Infinite Time and Space" was very exciting, which made my scalp numb! It can be said that Mr. Pu has engraved how to write excitement in his bones, but his book "Lord of Fools" did not deliberately create excitement, but wrote so many daily life. Why?"

Niu Zi and Zhu Shiheng both shook their heads.

"Because President Pu is playing a big game!"

"If you want to see this game clearly, you have to start with President Pu's special instructions. If I'm not mistaken, President Pu's "Lord of Fools" is being promoted vigorously on foreign platforms, but there is almost no recommendation on his own Zhongshan Novel Platform. Is it President Pu's personal instructions?"

Niu Zi: "Fuck! How do you know?"

Zhu Shiheng also showed a solemn look.

President Pu only told the two of them about this matter. They directly operated it. Other people in the online literature department didn't even know. How could Xiaoxing know?

Is it a guess?

This is too accurate, right?

But Niu Zi remembered that Xiaoxing's multiple analyses of President Pu accurately conveyed President Pu's true intentions, and he understood a little.

It sounds weird.

But.If it's Xiaoxing-san.

That's normal.

Xiaoxing knew from the shocked expressions of the two that he had guessed correctly, and he snapped his fingers:

"That's right! Since President Pu said so, there must be a special reason. You know, President Pu never does meaningless things. You don't think that President Pu deliberately wants his book to fail in China, right?"

Tian Gou opened his eyes wide, with an innocent look: "I really thought so."

Xiaoxing pointed at him: "You are too narrow-minded. If you can't see President Pu's true intentions clearly, you will suffer! President Pu originally had a plan, but because we didn't cooperate well, his book failed. What should we do? Who can afford it?"

Zhu Shiheng bowed and said: "Please give me some advice, President Yi!"

Xiaoxing looked at the data on the computer screen that had risen to 1,000 average subscriptions, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"It's not about giving advice, I'm just sharing my experience of working with Mr. Pu for so many years. We all work to make the company better and better."

"I'll share a little trick on how to see Mr. Pu's intentions: You must insist on the fundamental idea that Mr. Pu will not deliberately make the company lose money or his own book fail. Behind every seemingly absurd decision there is a complete set of logical closed loops. What we have to do is to find Mr. Pu's logic and help realize it in the process."

Several people hurriedly took out small notebooks and wrote it down.

Xiaoxing continued, "Only with this as a premise can we analyze President Pu's true intentions. Otherwise, we will always be misled by some messy ideas, just like Tian Gou, and even really think that President Pu's book will flop in China."

"Look! "Lord of Fools" reached 1,000 first orders in 10 minutes, how could it only have 3,000 first orders in 24 hours?"

Tian Gou: "Fuck! 1,000 in 10 minutes, 6,000 in an hour, wouldn't that be 144,000 first orders in 24 hours! Our website is going to break the first order record of Chinese online articles!!!"

Xiaoxing, Niu Zi, Zhu Shiheng: (￣口￣)!!

“Ahem! Data is not calculated in this way. There will be a lot at the beginning, but it will become less and less later. Generally, 3 to 5 times the first hour subscription results are used as the final results for 24 hours.”

Xiaoxing continued: “Mr. Pu’s first subscription results must be more than 3,000. I estimate at least 9,000, which is already a lot for our website. You know, our Zhongshan Novel Network has never published a book with a first subscription of more than 10,000 since the establishment of the website. If Mr. Pu’s book can achieve this achievement, it proves the potential of Mr. Pu’s book!”

Niu Zi was also stunned. The data was more than all of them and even big data predicted!

“Why is this so?”

Xiaoxing smiled mysteriously, opened his Zhongshan Novel app, pointed to the splash screen recommendation and said: “Because. You did one thing right, giving Mr. Pu a crucial recommendation at this critical moment.”

Tian Gou asked in confusion: “But. Editor Xiaoxing, you said that no matter how good the recommendation is, it is just to magnify the results of a book. There is an upper limit, and it will not exceed twice the results that the book should have.

That is to say, no matter how you push it, a book with 3,000 average subscriptions, the highest upper limit is 6,000 average subscriptions, and this is the data after all the big recommendations on the website are consumed. Then we predict that Mr. Pu's book will have 3,000 subscriptions. According to your principle, Mr. Pu's book will have at most 6,000 subscriptions. Moreover, we only gave a recommendation, which is not enough to magnify it so much. It is good to reach 4,500 subscriptions. "

Xiaoxing: "Who said that the 3,000 subscriptions you predicted is the level of Mr. Pu's book?"

Three people: (°ー°〃)

Xiaoxing smiled and put on a pair of glasses: "I really can't do anything about you, you are obsessed! You have been leaders for too long, and now you only know how to look at data. You have forgotten that the quality of a book is composed of its words, not its data!"

"I guess. You probably don't read Mr. Pu's book every day, right? ”

The three of them were stunned and nodded unconsciously.

Yes, they have so much work every day. Not only do they have to maintain the development of two websites, but they also have to review so many new books and deal with various emergencies. They are no longer the ones who sit at the editing station and read books all day.

After President Pu’s new book was released, they only read the content of the first part, grasped the general idea, and then only looked at the data performance.

Not to mention President Pu’s book, it’s good enough to read the beginning of other people’s books! This has to be the top authors that the website focuses on.

Xiaoxing showed an understanding expression: "Yes. Busy, so busy that we almost forget that the key to the success of a book is the story. Only how well the story is told is the basis of how much average subscription quality this book has. ”

“Pu’s book seems difficult to get into at the beginning, but. The more you read, the more you feel like you are entering a different world. When I read more than 200,000 words, I turned off my phone and saw the Chinese-style furniture in front of me with a hint of doubt.

Why. Am I not in the steampunk era?

Did I go to the wrong place?

Oh, that’s in the book!

At this moment, I finally understood why President Pu did this. "

"He used more than 200,000 words just to express a sense of immersion, and to take readers into the world he created, a mysterious era with turbulent clouds!"

"In foreign countries, he doesn't need to lay the groundwork, because this is the background they are familiar with, and many native English speakers can immerse themselves in it, so President Pu asked to promote it casually, and in China, he needs these more than 200,000 words to catch Chinese readers into this world! And this is the real beginning of this book "Lord of Fools"! His recommendation should start from 200,000 words!"

"So, your recommendation this time is just right."

Half an hour later, the first order rose to 2,000.

The three giants of the online literature department were stunned.

Xiaoxing stood up and looked at President Pu's office.

"Of course, President Pu's layout is far more than that."

"Have you forgotten the "Resident Evil 1" movie that was just released not long ago?"
