There are two ways to publish novels in this era. The first is to serialize first, and when the serialization is completed and the response is good, the bookstore will publish it; the other is to directly submit manuscripts for publication without serialization.

The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, if you serialize first and then publish, you will get readers' impressions, but it may also be the case that readers don't want to buy a single volume because they have finished reading the serialization.However, direct publishing is more of a test of luck. Sometimes the editor thinks that it can be published, but it happens to be not the taste that the readers like.

When "Mu Jiu" was serialized to 100,000 words, Feng Yajun asked Xu Wanyan to contact Yu Gesang to discuss publishing matters.The serialization will be suspended, and the first and second volumes will be released first. If the readers respond well, continue to serialize the last volume on "Xiangsi" Daily, and then publish it; if the response is not particularly enthusiastic, then print the last volume directlySell it.

From the reader's point of view, it's really a dog.

Feng Yajun expressed in his heart that this is a lesson learned from other serial novels whose serialization periods are popular, but single volumes are not popular. Three months ago, Guofeng Publishing House, which ranked among the top three in the country, began to implement a system like this.Huo’s novels are not published in magazines after deducting the last issue, but are directly published in a single volume, and readers have to buy a single volume if they want to see the ending. Although this behavior has been complained by some readers, the final sales prove that the readers are'"As a result, this model became popular in the province where it was first implemented, and other provinces also tried to follow suit, and all achieved good results.

I heard that the Big Beaver Book Club in Zhuxian Province is also planning to do the same. For this reason, they set up a competition with a relatively generous prize money, and launched a champion author. They plan to praise the author's first novel and stop serialization when it becomes popular.I directly published a single line to test the waters, but I didn't expect that "Mu Jiu" would come out, which caused the author's novel to not explode as expected.It's a monthly magazine, and it's still a long way from the big climax point, so I can't do it right away.

Therefore, let Sanhua Publishing House act as the first person to eat crabs in Zhuxian Province.

Because the first and second volumes of Yu Gesang's 300,000 manuscripts have been written, Sanhua Publishing House can prepare many days in advance.

Thanks to the development of the literary industry and the advancement of papermaking, it is actually very simple to print out the manuscripts. In addition, Sanhua Publishing House is a large publishing house with a complete structure, and it also maintains a printing factory.is too simple.

Therefore, after "Mu Jiu" finished serializing 150,000 words and dropped the hook, when readers were about to scream and break the chapter, they suddenly found that the message at the bottom right at the end was no longer "If you want to know what happens next, please seeThe next issue of Lovesickness Daily', but a short testimonial:

"The first volume of "Mu Nine" [First Entry into the Immortal Gate] has been serialized, and the second volume [Love is not long] will not be serialized in "Acacia". In response to readers' requests, the second volume of "Mu Nine" will be published in a single volumeAt the same time, the first volume that has been serialized in the daily newspaper will also be published together. The following is the basic information of the two volumes of "Mu Jiu":

The first volume of "Mu Jiu": In addition to the 150,000 words serialized in the daily newspaper, a brief introduction of the sects that have appeared in the world of cultivating immortals will be added to the single book, and a preview of the second volume will be made. The publication time of the first volume will be two days later.Available at Sanhua Bookstore and other cooperative bookstores.

The second volume of "Mu Jiu": brand new content, a total of 150,000 words, will be released in a week.

Thank you for your support."

Fuck!

This plant is needed here to describe the reader's mood.

why?If Sanhua Publishing Co., Ltd. sells the first and second volumes together, don't make a time difference, and readers will only be happy. But do you think that Sanhua Publishing Co., Ltd. is a human being?In order to let the readers pay for the first volume that has already been serialized, the second volume was put on sale a week later.

And the content of the second volume in the testimonials has to be found in the first volume, isn't this too scheming?

I don't care, I decided to go directly to the bookstore to read the first volume, see what the second volume is about, and then buy the second volume directly!

Many readers have made this decision in their hearts, and it is absolutely impossible to ask them to spend an extra penny!

Two days later, at dawn, in the female dormitory of a liberal arts college in Guangxiang City, a figure carefully got off the bed, afraid of waking up others, and did not dare to make big movements. After simply rinsing his mouth and washing his face quickly, he changed his clothes and walked out.bedroom.

However, as soon as he went out, he bumped into a round-faced girl who lived in the bedroom next door to her, and her nemesis Zhou Yuanyuan since childhood.

Fang Sixue was startled, "What are you doing..."

"Are you going to buy the first volume of "Mu Jiu"?"

Zhou Yuanyuan interrupted her, staring at her with big black eyes, as if trying to find something out of her.

Fang Sixue was inexplicably angry, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, "No, why would I buy the first volume? The content is the same as what was serialized in the original newspaper, so I won't waste money."

Yes, although Fang Sixue is a person who buys daily newspapers every day, when "Mu Jiu" was serialized, she also had the idea of calling the publishing house to urge the bookstore to publish a single book, but what she wanted to buy at the time was the one with the finale.Kind of, in that case, even if most of it is the content that has already been serialized, Fang Sixue gritted her teeth and admitted it.

She is a generous and frugal person. She developed such a personality because she loves reading novels too much. She spends a lot of money on newspapers, magazines, and books every month. There is a fixed amount of pocket money, so it is impossible to follow her lavishly.Just buy, and more often buy selectively, like daily newspapers, which are read every day and must be bought, while publications are bought selectively.I bought it, unless it was a work of a great master that she likes so much, then I will buy it for collection and edification.

"Mu Jiu" can be regarded as her favorite work, let's see that she broke her random selection rules and chose "Xiangsi" daily in order to follow the serialization.But the first volume of "Mu Jiu" is the content that I have read, it is just a compilation of the sects of immortality that have appeared in the article and the second volume preview. She can also take out the previous daily newspaper to sort out the sects herself. As for the second volume preview, as long as you wait patiently for five days, just buy it and see if it’s okay?

Or go directly to the bookstore to have a look, it's not worth spending more money to buy it, no matter how good "Mu Jiu" is, it's not to the point where you can buy it for collection...

In the final analysis, Fang Sixue just wanted to save money, and she was used to doing so. All the classmates around her knew her habit. Two days ago, when the "Xiangsi" daily stopped serializing "Mu Jiu" and said that she would publish a booklet, she didn't wait for her to hesitate., the deadly enemy who had been fighting since she was a child would directly tease her when she was present.

"I'm going to buy the first volume of "Mu Jiu". I bought it for my collection. Sixue, you definitely don't want to buy it. You've read the serialization of the first volume. It's not an article with connotation by a great god. You're smart.If you are sensible, you will never spend more money, right?

I know your character, you have a lot of backbone, you can’t even go to the bookstore to renovate the content if you say you don’t want to buy it, and ask your classmates about these things, right?"

This time, Fang Sixue was arranged clearly, because Fang Sixue really had such a character in the past. Every time this rival finished the serial and bought a single book to show off in front of her, Fang Sixue would just calmly take the text of "Isn't a Great God?"There is no need to collect it to go back, and I will not ask curiously or go to the bookstore to browse secretly to leave a story for my rival.

Being so provoked by her rival, Fang Sixue didn't care if she felt entangled in her heart. Of course, she wanted to maintain her previous pride. "Of course, I will buy the second volume in a week."

But, that being said, reason persuaded her not to waste money, but emotions didn't cooperate.

She was originally a person who started from serialization, and she is used to reading 6,000-word serializations every day. She felt uncomfortable after stopping for the past two days, and she couldn't sleep even last night.Resist the temptation, don't spend money indiscriminately, and don't let your rivals laugh at you; for a while, you think about what the trailer for the second volume is, why it's called "Deep Love and Longevity", is it really abusive?She remembered that the author had written super sad short stories.

In short, it was like being caught by a cat, and her heart was itchy. Therefore, Fang Sixue woke up early after insomnia, and before she could figure out what she was going to do, she was blocked by her deadly enemy at the door of the bedroom.

Now, she definitely can't admit that she went to buy "Mu Jiu". You must know that even if she really slaps her face, she must not slap her face in front of her deadly enemy since she was a child!

Zhou Yuanyuan said no, but it doesn't matter, "Then I will go to exercise with you today, and I have to see if your words count!"

Fang Sixue: Is there something wrong with you?

Facts have proved that Zhou Yuanyuan has no faults, but resentment, and the resentment is even deeper.

The two have always been neighbors, and their families are about the same age. Both parents love to compare them, especially when it comes to reading novels. Both of them like to read them, but the difference is that Zhou Yuanyuan will buy as long as she likes it, even if she has already read it.For the single book, I have to buy it again to read the collection again, so every time I spend my pocket money quickly, I also try to be coquettish and ask for money.

But Fang Sixue was the complete opposite. The booklets she bought were almost all the works of great gods, the kind that her parents knew. In addition, they were very literary, which parents thought were more serious and could be nurtured.

Comparing the two, Zhou Yuanyuan has been talked about, and she has been talking about it since she was a child, which caused Zhou Yuanyuan's deep resentment.

This time she found out that Fang Sixue liked "Mu Jiu" very much. The novel written by this unknown author was about to be published in a single volume. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to stare at it. She didn't believe that Fang Sixue could really resist buying it for collection.

As long as Fang Sixue bought the first volume, she would laugh at her severely, and next time her parents said that she was Zhou Yuanyuan, they would bring this matter up and go back. See, Fang Sixue still bought the one written by an unknown author, just to pass the timeA novel that is not compelling enough, huh!

Fang Sixue: ...

She can hold back, isn't it just seven days?!What's so good about a preview.

five days later...

"It's enough, don't stare at me, I'll buy it, can't I buy it?!"

Fang Sixue was really caught in the shadows by Zhou Yuanyuan's stare. She was blocked from mentioning these things early in the morning every day, and it was the same in the same class, but she had to follow her to the toilet after class.He also read the physical book of Mu Jiu's first volume in front of her. While reading it, he asked her to discuss the plot, and gave her a spoiler preview for the second volume, and said that there are many illustrations and author's notes in the first volume.

This made Fang Sixue, who was already very itchy, even more impatient. In her heart, "Mu Jiu" was not as good as the author of the great master, but the story was really exciting, and the author's level of fragmentation was also very good.

Zhou Yuanyuan was still provoking her, it was really unbearable.

This feeling is like when readers of later generations want to gain weight when chasing their favorite serials, but you know in your heart that there is new content to read, and the comment area is still being discussed enthusiastically. How can you live on it?

Moreover, Zhou Yuanyuan is so annoying that she wants to buy it just to get rid of Zhou Yuanyuan!

Fang Sixue quickly persuaded herself, and regardless of Zhou Yuanyuan's arrogant and proud appearance, she immediately bought the first volume.

First of all, I would like to praise the cover and back cover of the booklet. The cover is a picture of Mu Jiu in a Kunlun School Taoist uniform looking at his master. It is very warm and loving. The back cover is a picture of Mu Jiu being demonized, which reminds people of the plot..

There is still a short paragraph on the title page, after which the various sects in the world of cultivating immortals will be sorted out, as well as some divisions of spiritual roots, etc., which is very good.

And the content of the main text is no different from the magazine serial, Zhou Yuanyuan lied to her on this, there is no author's comment at all.

As for the preview of the second volume, it is a short poem, which makes people feel very ominous, as if it is going to be abused.

Fang Sixue let out a sigh of relief after reading it, and couldn't help but read the text again.

Reading the pamphlet and reading the newspaper felt a little different. She found that she didn't regret spending money to buy the pamphlet.

Fang Sixue really felt that she was poisoned.

And there are still some readers who are "poisoned" like Fang Sixue, who are not determined and can't even wait for seven days. I don't know why they stepped into the bookstore and saw it. Even after flipping through the content, they finally paid for it.

Therefore, the 10,000 copies of the first volume published by Sanhua Publishing House were all sold out, and even reprinted once. By the day the second volume of "Mu Jiu" was published, the first volume had sold a total of 60,000 copies.It was a big hit, but the sales still exceeded Feng Yajun's forecast.

In the past, at Sanhua Publishing House, it was okay to sell 10,000 copies of novels that have been serialized in a single volume. The average number of well-known authors sold 30,000 to 50,000 copies. Xiao Shen’s author sold 80,000 to 100,000 copies on average.In good times, there can be three to four hundred thousand.

For novels that are not serialized and directly published, the average number is a little higher. Like a real master, the kind that can be sold in other provinces is also possible. Tens of millions of copies are also possible.

Yu Gesang is just a newcomer. No matter how popular "Mu Jiu" is, no one knows how readers will buy it before the booklet is published, so at the beginning, only 10,000 copies were printed, and now it can sell 50,000 copies, which is considered overfulfilledTask.

Sanhua Publishing House is more concerned about the sales of the second volume, which has never been serialized.

Feng Yajun was very courageous, and directly printed 100,000 copies of the second volume, which was close to the sales volume of Xiao Shen. Except for Yu Gesang, who edited Xu Wanyan, the other editors of Sanhua Publishing House felt that this step was a bit big. What if they couldn't sell it?

The other two bookstores of Dali Celadon are also staring at the sales volume of the second volume. They also want to know how much the second volume of "Mu Jiu" can sell. Like this method of serializing halfway and publishing a single volume, in Zhuxian Province?Whether it works or not depends on whether readers buy it.

In this way, a week later, the second volume of "Mu Jiu" was released...

The author has something to say:

——I am really happy to see that the collection is finally moving, thank you for your support!Refill!

——If you have a plot you want to watch or want to play tricks in the article, you can leave a message in the comment area, such as wanting to be a teacher in a certain college in the article (Yu Gesang will definitely go to a university college) or a well-known or well-known book reviewer in the article, it’s all right, as long as the name is a little bit like a personal name, hahaha
