Chapter 28
◎Third shift◎
In November, Yu Gesang is actually quite busy. On the one hand, she has to go to school and participate in the school sports meeting;Matters, bits and pieces piled up together, every day is quite busy.
Especially the marriage of the eldest sister Yu Taozhi, this is Yu Youwen's first daughter, the eldest daughter always has some special feelings, Jiang Daya is even more partial to this eldest daughter who is like her, and suddenly wants to marryWhen was young, felt a kind of bad feeling in heart.
But Yu Taozhi was reluctant to give up on her family when her wedding day was approaching. From time to time, she would drag her brothers and sisters at home to gossip about the family life and think about it. Afterwards, she also taught them to get along well in the future, learn to do some housework within their ability to replace their parentsShare your worries.
I also want to take Yu Xingtian and Yu Gesang to go shopping and play, saying that I am afraid that I will not have this opportunity in the future.
As a result, Yu Gesang really didn't have extra time, and he didn't pay much attention to the publication of the novel. After Yu Taozhi got married and returned home, Yu Gesang returned to his usual life, and he was able to accept Xu Wanyan's invitation.Drink tea and chat in the city, and find a massage shop for women to relax.
This women's massage shop has nothing to say about the environment and craftsmanship, and the technicians are well-learned. There is no such thing as layman training for a month.
Due to the development of traditional Chinese medicine in this era, such as massage, scraping, acupuncture, cupping, etc., there are academies and colleges awarded by the state to learn.Even if you have a little money, you will not find such an unprofessional store.
Xu Wanyan and Yu Gesang asked for a private room, chatted a few words while massaging, and asked the technician to go out after the rest, and the two asked for tea and pastries before they started talking about business.
The first is the sales volume of "Elder Xiuxian". Although it has been serialized in full text in newspapers, the sales volume in Zhuxian Province is still very good.It is difficult to collect complete newspapers, especially after the end of the investigation by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, readers who entered the pit out of curiosity and then could not climb out, almost none of them got the full-text newspapers, and the total cost of the full-text newspapers was more than thatThe two volumes of the booklet were even more expensive, and everyone didn't want to bother to find them, so they just bought the booklet to read.
So Zhuxian Province alone sold 600,000 to 700,000 copies in half a month. Although this result is not as good as the sales champion "Mu Jiu" of Sanhua Publishing House, it cannot be denied that "Elder Xiuxian" is also very good.Hit it, you must know that the works of "Jianjia" and "Taoyao", which are also published in separate volumes this month, were deducted 10,000 to 20,000 words without updating the content, and the sales volume was only half of that of "The Elder Xiuxian".One does not arrive.
This is not to say that the sales volume of the two Xiao Shens is not good, but to boast that the sales volume has increased. As mentioned above, in Zhuxian Province, Xiao Shen’s works here have been serialized and can sell 300,000 to 400,000 copies.Not a few have sold 100,000 copies.
But this time, the two sold 300,000 copies in half a month, and "Jian Jia" and "Tao Yao" felt that they had made a profit.
This also proves two points, one is that it is feasible to directly publish single volumes from the end of serialization, and the other is that serialization in daily newspapers seems to be easier to retain readers than serialization in semimonthly monthly magazines, so that readers can pay for single volumes.
Whether this is really the case remains to be further verified in the future.
However, in contrast to the good sales in Zhuxian Province, the sales of "The Elder Xiuxian He Relyed on Farming to Live the Tribulation" in other Sanhua Publishing Houses across the country are not very good. On the one hand, it may be because the author is unknown;It is because the title of the book is too long and too unliterary, so that readers who have not experienced serialization will subconsciously exclude it when they see the title. Only a few will be interested in opening it because of "hunting for novelty".
This point is actually completely different from what Yu Gesang thought when she chose the title of the book. She thought that this title would attract readers who like fairy tales and self-cultivation, and it would be straightforward and easy for people to understand.Because the title of the book is too long and straightforward, without the slightest sense of literature, readers subconsciously exclude it. Only a few readers will open it out of curiosity.
In addition, near the end of the year, there are too many authors publishing books in order to compete for the rankings. Other branches of Sanhua Publishing House also have their own preferences to promote books, and they will not recommend so many novels at their own expense from this provincial branch."Elder Cultivation of Immortals" met cold outside.
This is actually something that can’t be helped. Not only is it difficult for Zhuxian Province’s works to be promoted to the whole country, but works from other regions may not be treated well when imported, unless it is really the kind of work that is well-known throughout the country.Sexual magazines and newspapers can break this almost cursed "regional coldness".
Xu Wanyan and Yu Gesang's talk about the incident also gave Yu Gesang a solid idea, and at the same time, he came to explain her, so that she would not be hit because of the big gap.
After all, in Xu Wanyan's opinion, Yu Gesang's writing was so smooth that even the proud man of heaven is not enough to describe it. A short story written for homework was published in the weekly newspaper, and it was also commented by Zhao Minglan, a well-known book reviewer in Zhuxian Province;
A long article was serialized in a daily newspaper, which opened an unprecedented event of readers following up, saved a daily newspaper that was going into decline, and finally created the theme of Xianxia Cultivation, which was officially recommended by the country, thus setting off a craze for Xianxia Cultivation in the national literary circle.It has supported many follow-up authors and newspapers and magazines, and the total sales volume of "Mu Jiu" has broken the highest sales volume of a single book in Zhuxian Province, and it is even expected to show its face in the national rankings at the end of the year;
As for "The Elder Xiuxian He Relyed on Farming to Live the Tribulation", even though the early serialization hardly received any recommendation, it finally proved itself. Letters from readers piled up a whole room, and the single book was sold like a charm in the whole province as soon as it came out. Even Xiao ShenCan't compare to the heat and popularity.
Xu Wanyan was very worried that Yu Gesang would feel uncomfortable because she was born in the cold in other areas.
Fortunately, Yu Gesang is not a real fourteen-year-old girl, and she also knows that it is impossible to become popular without a book, especially in the era without the Internet, it is really too difficult without cross-regional promotion.
So it's just a little regret, but no other emotions.
Seeing that she was not disappointed, Xu Wanyan hurriedly said something that was considered a happy event.
"A book fan named Kong Xueting built a farm similar to the one in the novel, which attracted a lot of book fans to visit, and then made a profit just like in the novel. Recently, there was a lot of people going to his old man's farm.This book fan felt that he had used your creativity, and felt very sorry, so he contacted the newspaper office in the past two days, offering you 20% of the monthly profits, what do you think?"
Yu Gesang did know about the Elder Farm, because Yu Taozhi was not yet married when it opened, and the whole family went for a visit.
After returning, Yu Youwen still thought that his hometown could do the same, but Yu Gesang broke his fantasy.
The reason why the Elder’s Farm became popular is not because of “The Elders of Cultivation of Immortals”. First of all, the location of the Elder’s Farm is very advantageous. It is a suburb of Guangxiang City, and it is very convenient for people in the city to travel. It just so happens that this group of peopleIt is its target customer; secondly, it knows how to grasp the timing, just in time for the end of the serialization of the novel, and it advertises on "Acacia" when the popularity is high.It is inseparable from the careful construction of the elder farm. Although Kong Xueting has a short time to prepare, he is courageous and courageous. On the one hand, he borrows from the national bank, on the one hand, he recruits powerful friends to join the team, and on the other hand, he hires many people to work overtime., and also found some merchants to settle in.
In short, the Elder Farm seems to have been established entirely by "The Elder Xiuxian". In fact, if there is no Kong Xueting, I am afraid there will be no Elder Farm. Otherwise, so many people have read the novel, so why is he the only one who can see it in the novel?What about business opportunities?
This is the money people should make.
On the contrary, Yu Gesang's hometown is just a small remote village. The nearby towns are very small, and the consumption level is not as high as that of Guangxiang City. Moreover, many people in the town are related to the country people and want to experience "farmhouse fun".Do you have to go to Lao Yu's house for so much money?Isn't it good that he has this money to go to the famous elder farm?
As for the scale, Yu Gesang can lend the manuscript fee to his grandparents in the country, but the problem is that his hometown is not Kong Xueting’s farm. The big mountain and a large area belong to him.You have to rent hilltops and land from the villagers. The collective nature is so easy to do. When you rent it, can't you give the village some benefits?
Moreover, people in the village pay more attention to "human relations" and give priority to those in the village. If you want to hire a well-trained guy with an excellent service attitude like Kong Xueting, it can basically be tantamount to dreaming.
What's more, the old Yu's family can't manage the "snack street" and the delicious elder restaurant. Even if they cook the same recipe described in "The Elder Xiuxian", the tastes are very different, because Yu Gesang'sThe recipes come from the recipes I wrote down when I was writing food articles, plus my own imagination, and the food I occasionally tried in my previous life, it is not a real recipe.
It must be the chef's own innovation and secret that the food in Kong Xueting's farm can be cooked well.
Anyway, it is impossible to set up an elder farm in my hometown, but there is still some hope for an activity where you pay first and eat the fruit as you like.
The old Yu’s family didn’t have the courage to set up such a big stall. In the end, they decided to refer to Yu Gesang’s opinion and set up a picking experience garden, so that interested people nearby could experience it.How much is the fixed amount per catty like this.
If no one comes at that time, the family will sell it at Jiang Daya's grocery store as usual, and there will be no loss.
This is the way they can accept. Lao Yu's family will not do it if they have to take great risks to do things with an unknown future.
Having said that, Yu Gesang never thought that Kong Xueting would take the initiative to give her money because of taking advantage of her ideas. You must know that although the literary laws of this era are sound, there is no legal restriction in a situation like Kong Xueting's.This is because almost no one has moved the plot of the novel to reality in the past.
Kong Xueting broke people's existing thinking and inspired some businessmen.
He took the initiative to spend money for Yu Gesang's creativity, which proves that this person's character is still good.
Yu Gesang didn't want his money either. She didn't want money. Besides, the elder farm was built by Kong Xueting. It is his ability to run it. Why bother with the money?
So Yu Gesang refused without hesitation, "Since he is my reader, it doesn't matter if I give him this idea. If he is really sorry, then he can buy a few more copies of "The Elders of Cultivation of Immortals" to boost sales."
Yu Gesang's words were a joke, but he never thought that after Kong Xueting learned about it from Xu Wanyan, the sales of "The Elders of Cultivation of Immortals" would increase by a wave in other places.
Because he advertised.
The author has something to say:
——Finally finished writing the third update!Excited to go round and round!It's not easy!
——ps, is there any recommendation for a small program or software that can count how much nutrient solution and mines each person sends?Because every once in a while I want to count which cuties love me so much. I manually counted the statistics in the previous chapter one by one. Fortunately, there are not many readers now. Fortunately, it only took more than ten minutes. In case there are more readers in the futureHahahaha (shamelessly fantasize)
