Chapter 242: The record can be checked
Chapter 242: The record can be checked
"Xiao Gu is desperate and is trying every possible means." President Jian followed King Guru, so he saw it as soon as he went online.
In his opinion, who can he find by posting on Weibo?
Turn off your phone and don’t be distracted by the memories that follow.
"President Jian, you really have the guts to directly recommend a new book."
The Commercial Press is currently planning to publish a series of books called "Joint Popular Science Series". We have called together four or five publishing houses that usually publish popular science works, and are currently discussing the list.
The sales of popular science works are generally average, mainly because the series of books will become popular science books recommended for junior high school students. They will be printed on the back cover of many auxiliary learning materials.
The first time students are introduced to a classic is through the “Recommended Classics” on the back cover.
"I have been the president of the Children's Literature Publishing House for four or five years and have published many popular science works." Before becoming the president, Jian was the vice president.
He paused and continued, "Flatland is the best book I've ever seen for popularizing points, lines, surfaces and space to primary and secondary school students. Nothing else."
President Jian still felt that he had not expressed himself clearly, and added, "This is also the best popular science work I have seen in recent years, and it is worldwide."
hiss--
After these words were spoken, several other publishing house presidents gasped.
Everyone here is the head of their own publishing house, and they all praise the books they have.
But what President Jian said was too exaggerated.
The key is that everyone knows President Jian’s character. He may exaggerate, but he won’t make up stories.
"The best popular science novel. What else can be written in a popular science novel? I am so curious. President Jian, can we read it now?" asked the short-haired president.
Yes, it aroused everyone's curiosity.
If it were anyone else, there might still be doubts, but for Gu Lu, a writer who has written fairy tale novels like "The Little Prince", it seems normal for him to create another miracle.
"Don't worry, the book will be published on June 1st, so stay tuned." President Jian said with a smile.
There were still two months before publication, so what if someone copied the book in advance? So he had to be on guard.
President Jian was the most eye-catching person at the meeting, but he didn't realize that there were many hidden talents in the Internet industry, such as Yao Xiaoju, whose last job was at Random House.
Random House is an international publishing house, or more precisely a group, consisting of nine brands.
For example, one of the brands is Bantam Dell Publishing Group, which has 8 publishing houses and mainly publishes best-selling novels. Yao Xiaoju belongs to this brand and has participated in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" project.
The main reason for his resignation was because he was in love. He returned to China for his goddess, but she turned around and married a third-generation rich man.
Yao Xiaoju's career was successful and he earned a lot of money, but it was not enough.
"Why do we need to seek overseas agents? Are Da Wang's works popular overseas?" Yao Xiaoju wondered.
The King is what his followers call Gu Lu, and he is personally a fan of the Ke Lu Party.
I forgot to mention that the Gu Lu Bar is currently one of the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period", with the Ke Lu Party, Tui Lu Party, and Tong Lu Party being the most powerful.
However, since Gu Lu hasn't written a new mystery novel for a long time, it's not so easy to promote Lu.
Yao Xiaoju’s opinion was also to consolidate domestic popularity first. Although he knew that Gu Lu’s works were also published in Japan, one or two successes could not be considered a success.
The accidental success of a work can only prove that that part is popular.
As a person in the international publishing circle, Yao Xiaoju also has his own channels to conduct investigations.
First of all, in English-speaking countries, Gu Lu's works have no influence at all, but in Japan - "Huh?"
"real or fake?"
"One, two, three, four, five... Can twenty or so novels be so popular?"
It doesn’t matter if you don’t search, but you’ll be shocked when you do.
Good guy! Gu Lu is not just a little bit of fire in Neon, he is a hot writer.
In particular, a search revealed a recent speech by a certain politician from Japan in front of the media:
[Recently, I saw an article titled "Supporting God" which sparked heated discussion on Japanese social platforms.
In the novel, the "God" who has lost his ability to produce is tortured.
This just illustrates my point. The evidence is that the Akio family in "Supporting God" treated God politely at first, until the United Nations determined that there was no benefit to be gained from the information of God's civilization.
Those who are abused simply cannot continue to produce!
So the suggestion made at my economic and fiscal advisory meeting a few days ago is urgent: to raise the standard of "old age" from 60 to 65 years old.
Taxi drivers, security guards, sales and other industries should be reopened to the elderly, with priority given to them.
This proposal aims to encourage the elderly to continue learning and improve their skills to achieve the so-called "happy society". At the same time, the number of silver human resources centers should also be increased. ]
The Silver Human Resources Center refers to the place where elderly people look for jobs, and the silver color refers to their hair.
"Indeed, Gu Lu really needs an overseas market agent, and he should have hired one a long time ago." Yao Xiaoju wanted to meet Gu Lu.
The salary of an overseas book copyright agent can be very high or very low, depending on the author's ability.
Of course, for now, based on his survey of his popularity in Japan, being Gu Lu's agent would bring him a good income, but Yao Xiaoju doesn't want it...
In fact, he searched and found that a member of the Neon Congress used Gu Lu's work as an example, which happened to be the screenshot that Editor-in-Chief Sato sent to Gu Lu today.
This proves the popularity of Gu Lu's works in Japan.
A cheerful little idiot: [Sending a piece of data silently.
"Fuwenzhi" published six novels.
The three readers’ feedback ranking surveys were: 3rd, 2nd, and 1st
After Gu Lu's works were released on a different platform, Fu Wenzhi's sales dropped by about 8% for two consecutive weeks.
Note that Fu Wenzhi's sales have been fluctuating at 3%, so it is definitely not a coincidence.
Eight novels were published in Christmas Magazine.
Four readers' favorite ranking feedbacks: 2nd, 1st, 1st, 1st
Year-on-year, Christmas magazine sales rose 4% in three weeks. Please note that because Christmas magazines sell more per issue, four points is already a scary number.
"SF Science Fiction" currently publishes 4 novels. This magazine does not provide feedback on the popularity of each issue, but the work "Supporting God" has caused heated discussions in Japan.
In addition, Shodensha is preparing to publish the Japanese version of "The Little Prince".
His works "Yesterday's Park", "Owl Man", "Walker on the Ceiling" and "Iron Pillar" were purchased by Fuji TV and are currently being filmed.
So now you still think that Gu Lu shouldn't hire someone? ]
This little idiot is Yao Xiaoju. Don’t be surprised why his Weibo name is so ugly. Anyway, his posts really broaden the horizons of netizens.
The previous story clubs, Time Mystery, and magazines helped promote the novel. Those who follow Gu Lu know that his novel has been published overseas.
However, I had no idea to what extent it would happen, but now I have an idea.
The whole network is shocked!
