◎The editorial department panicked◎

In mid-to-late November, the competition between the three newspapers "Jianjia", "Taoyao" and "Acacia" entered a fierce stage, because with the daily serialization of 3,000 words, by this time, Xiao Shen's novels had entered a full-text climax period, and the first one to sellThe breaking point is often here.

Comparing the three works of Xiao Shen, it is obvious that the quality of Xiao Shen's works of "Jianjia" and "Taoyao" is better than that of Xiao Shen's works of "Lovesickness", especially in the later stage of serialization, Xiao Shen's works of "Lovesickness" dailyThere is a feeling of powerlessness in the follow-up. A plot that is not considered a hit has tossed more than 10,000 words, and there has never been a sign that it will enter a climax.is ineligible.

In the words of readers of later generations, it means that the author's water plot is not interesting enough or clever enough.

However, to the surprise of the two daily newspapers "Jianjia" and "Taoyao", the daily sales figures announced by "Xiangsi" daily are always higher than those announced by "Jianjia" and "Taoyao".When the two Xiao Shen works of "Taoyao" entered the climax of the full text one after another, the daily sales volume increased, but it was still not as good as the daily data released by "Acacia".

At this time, the climax of "Lovesickness" Xiao Shen's work finally arrived long ago, but it was not the "finale" weight, but it made people feel that it was not enough "climax".It's a fan that confuses the big prize, making people feel that it is because there is no outline or the idea has collapsed, and the emergency plot is randomly thrown out when it has to be updated.

Not to mention professional editors, even readers can see that the text is teetering on the edge of collapsing plot and collapsing logic. Professional book reviewers in Zhuxian Province have commented that they are not optimistic about Xiao Shen’s work. The content of the comments is inconsistent, but there is only one central point, That is the battle of the three Xiaoshen in the "Big Three" of the world affairs daily in Zhuxian Province.

"Jianjia" and "Taoyao" secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they would suppress "Acacia" now, but when all the book reviewers were negative, the daily sales share of "Acacia" dared to increase,It is simply "committing crimes against the wind" and "uncle can bear it and auntie can't bear it"!

In a fit of anger, the two made an appointment to report the fraudulent daily sales of "Xiangsi" daily to the Provincial Department of Cultural Affairs, and asked the Ministry of Cultural Affairs to correct and deal with it.

Here we have to explain the source of daily sales.

Because although the technology of this era is more advanced than that of Yu Gesang's previous life, it can only be said to be the embryonic period of technology, and it is completely impossible to use special technology to count.

And it's not the era of online novels, which can be queried through big data.

However, due to the characteristics of the times, the emphasis on literary novels has made people care about all matters related to literary novels, which has caused the prosperity and competition of literature.

For example, monthly newspaper publications have various rankings in the middle of the year and at the end of the year. Among them, the ranking of total sales is a point that attracts people's attention, which reflects the strength of a monthly newspaper and its strength in all aspects.

The source of the total sales list is comprehensively provided by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs and Taxation Departments across the country every month.

But this is a big competition, and there are only two national competitions every year. In private, each newspaper office is also trying to prove itself, show itself and brag about itself, so there is a situation of publishing daily sales and monthly sales.

This kind of announcement is not mandatory, and it is freely chosen by newspapers, publishers, and bookstores, but it is a necessary prerequisite for participating in the national ranking twice a year. If it is not announced, it means that the competition for the ranking will be automatically given up.

Not to mention the big national book clubs, newspapers with a little bit of coverage will choose to compete.

For example, in Zhuxian Province, Dali Bookstore, Qingci Bookstore, and Sanhua Bookstore were rated as the three major bookstores. The rankings are based on the data that is continuously released, rather than the reputation that is casually established based on feeling.

The daily rankings of "Jianjia", "Taoyao" and "Acacia" in the Zhuxian Province's world situation daily newspapers also rely on the sales shares of yesterday announced by each of them every day.

This sales share is announced by the newspaper itself, not the official data. It seems that there is a lot of room for self-manipulation, such as false reporting in order to improve the ranking.

But it is not so easy in reality, because the announced sales share is closely related to the tax side. If the sales of your newspaper this month are announced to be 200,000 copies, but the actual tax payment is not so much, then this newspaperWhat we face is not only criticism from the official notification, but also the money corresponding to the amount of false reports.For example, if a newspaper announces 200,000 copies and actually sells 120,000 copies, then you have to pay the total amount (not tax, but the full amount) of 80,000 copies of the newspaper.

In addition, if it is discovered once, it will be suspended for one week, January, March, six months, one year, or even directly banned from running a newspaper, depending on the number of publications.

The most serious thing is that if the national ranking is falsified, in addition to the above punishment, the person involved will also face jail time.

The characteristics of this era make the relevant laws very perfect, and there is nothing to say about the enforcement. As for whether the investigation is troublesome, it is often not the point of concern of the relevant departments, but to find out the real data.

Therefore, today, countless clear examples tell those who try to falsify data, just think about it, and don't try impulsively.

The data has increased a little bit, and the desired effect cannot be achieved;

The data growth is super obvious, and 90% of them may be "cracked down" by the authorities. At the least, it will hurt face, lose the standard, and at the worst, it will be a tour in prison.

Why bother.

"Jianjia" and "Taoyao" don't want to easily suspect that the data of "Lovesickness" is falsified, but the quality of Xiao Shen's works is not as good as the two of them.Yes, professional and non-professional people can see that the daily sales volume of "Xiangsi" daily is still increasing.

Originally, the starting point was quite high. At the beginning, everyone had 500,000 or 600,000 copies, and the publicity warmed up properly. In the few days when Xiao Shen published the article, the number increased by 20,000 to 30,000 copies, and it was maintained steadily in the middle.A sudden increase of about 100,000 copies, an obvious increase, has already made people look sideways.

But the "Xiangsi" daily has unexpectedly increased by 180,000 copies. This is not generally excessive, but very excessive.

Do you think that "Mu Jiu" is being serialized? An article that is about to collapse can still bring in so many sales?!

"Jian Jia" and "Tao Yao" couldn't bear it anymore, and finally made a report.

Reporting this kind of thing is not accepted by ordinary people, it depends on the situation, otherwise, if any newspaper is jealous of other newspapers and will report at any time, if the Ministry of Culture also accepts it, how much manpower and material resources will it cost?

But, "Jianjia" and "Taoyao" belong to the three major newspapers in Zhuxian Province, and they are also the major taxpayers of literature in the province.The reason is also very good. It is news that the three companies have sent "little gods" authors to compete this month. There is a lot of attention.After the discussion, the Cultural Management Department felt that it could do some research, so it should be researched for the ranking list in advance.

Moreover, the Ministry of Cultural Affairs is quite impartial. If they want to investigate, the three of them should investigate together. Why do these three newspapers compete for the top three in Zhuxian Province's annual provincial daily sales rankings?

As soon as the news that the Ministry of Cultural Affairs wanted to investigate came out, the editorial department of "Acacia" almost panicked, not because they were "guilty", but because they had no idea.

As mentioned earlier, the "Acacia" Daily spent "huge sums of money" to invite another Xiao Shen from Zhuxian Province to play a group arena match with the other two in a temporary situation. Compared with making preparations secretly, theyThe start was actually not very good, because the Xiao Shen who was able to hire was slightly less famous than Xiao Shen of the other two.When I inquired and contacted her, her novel had only written less than 30,000 words, and she still hadn't started to refine it, and she hadn't finished the full text.

Then, because of the high remuneration given by "Acacia" Daily and the promise of follow-up publication, this Xiao Shen agreed to rush the ducks to the shelves and publish an article in advance to compete with the other two.

Compared with the later generations who are able to "fly the horse" without an outline, the authors of Hua Zhaoguo, nine times out of ten, do not have this ability. Before "Mu Jiu" started its daily serialization, they did notTry to upload daily updates.

The author of this little god is also, she is used to either depositing manuscripts and publishing articles, or having 20,000 to 30,000 updates per month. After becoming the "little god" of Zhuxian Province, she is still a little relaxed, and the skylight is always open during the serialization period.

It is really embarrassing for her to publish the article without a detailed outline and incomplete outline, and then she cannot open the skylight after depositing more than 30,000 words.

Especially in a "fighting arena" under the pressure of competition against sales, this little god author really wanted to give up and admit defeat several times.

If it wasn't for the contract, and "Lovesickness" refused to let her give up, and encouraged her with the rising sales, it might have really run away halfway.

But the situation is no better than running away. No, even the readers can see that she is in the water plot, and she is about to collapse. How can the editorial department not understand.

It's just that the sales share in the growth period from the sales department made the editorial department have an ostrich fantasy, maybe "the deeper the love, the more the depreciation". In fact, the readers are eating this article?

The members of the editorial department who pushed Xiao Shen's works would rather doubt their years of experience than to investigate the reasons carefully.

It wasn't until one day that the sales provided by the sales department suddenly increased significantly, that they felt that something was wrong, but before they had time to get out of the ostrich circle to investigate, the cultural management department was about to investigate, so why not panic!

Self-persuasion, self-persuasion, reason-finding, the editorial department is in chaos.

Zhou Mingxia, editor-in-chief of the editorial department of "Xiangsi" daily, felt that she couldn't stand it, so she recruited the deputy editor-in-chief who was actually in charge of fighting in the ring, and went to her immediate boss, Feng Yajun, to state the facts and ask for help.

The only one who is as immovable as a mountain is probably the editor Xu Wanyan.

She looked at the "Farming Tribulation" in the newspaper, and also read the letters from readers that other editors did not touch during this period, feeling very at ease.

Hurry up, hurry up, this is a harbinger of an imminent reversal!
