Chapter 518: In one day, Ye Xuan's poetry collection pre-sale exceeds one million?
Perhaps Ye Xuan brought too much shock; in the end, Editor-in-Chief Wang gradually got used to it.
This is the first literary master in China to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Miracles that don't happen to ordinary people, who says they won't happen to Ye Xuan?!
Unknowingly, Editor-in-Chief Wang even reached a conclusion.
Leave common sense to yourself, and leave miracles to Ye Xuan!
After meeting with Ye Xuan again, the two finalized the contract.
In addition to the one million exclusive authorization, Ye Xuan will also receive a 15% royalty share after the poetry collection is published.
Don't think 15% is too low.
Usually, authors who can get 10% royalties are already at the top.
Writers with royalties as high as 15% are few and far between in the entire Chinese literary scene!
After the contract was signed, Editor-in-Chief Wang rushed back to Yanjing and quickly got busy with the publication of Ye Xuan's poetry collection.
A series of tasks such as typesetting and cover design were carried out in an orderly manner, and the publishing house's official Weibo soon released a teaser.
【People's Literature Publishing House Official Weibo: Mr. Ye Xuan's poetry collection exclusive authorization is on pre-sale, and it will meet everyone in a month...】
A publishing house that can be crowned with the word "People" naturally doesn't need to be mentioned in terms of its status in the industry.
As the most authoritative, earliest established, and largest professional literary publishing institution in the country, as soon as this news from the People's Literature Publishing House was released, a large wave of fans flocked to it.
"Really, really?! I've already sharpened my knives and placed an order!"
"The joy of book fans is back! Just waiting for shipment!"
"I thought it was going to be released soon, but it's a pre-sale! Can't you change it from the end of the month to the middle, the middle to the beginning, and the beginning to tomorrow?! 【Dog head】"
"I've already changed girlfriends three times, and Ye Gouzi is finally releasing a new book; when will you hold another offline meeting?!"
"Front row, please get out of here; do you think I can't tell you're showing off that you have a girlfriend?!"
After more and more book fans learned of this news, in the super topics, Tieba, and forums related to Ye Xuan, they were all setting off firecrackers and throwing flowers as if it were the New Year.
Since the end of the Mao Dun Literature Prize awards ceremony, the news of 【Chi Jian wins the Mao Dun Literature Prize】 instantly rushed to the hot search list with unstoppable momentum.
This is the most valuable award in the Chinese literary scene; logically speaking, it should be enough to dominate the top of the hot search list.
But it just so happened that this night, this news only made it to the tail end of the hot search list, and didn't even make it into the top ten at all.
And looking up along this entry:
【Ye Xuan# You are looking at the scenery on the bridge, and the person looking at the scenery is looking at you from the building】
【Ye Xuan# Gently I leave, just as I gently came】
【Ye Xuan# Why do my eyes often brim with tears? Because I love this land so deeply】
The top ten entries were all captured by Ye Xuan's topics!
The netizens were once again stunned by Ye Xuan's talent.
How can the power of words be so moving?!
Even tear-jerking and deafening?!
Countless netizens read these ten poems countless times, and were shocked by Ye Xuan's words countless times.
Now, the official announcement of the People's Literature Publishing House is simply great news for Ye Xuan's thousands of fans!
At this moment, it wasn't just the netizens who were boiling; many authors in the literary scene also took action.
Chi Jian, who had just won the Mao Dun Literature Prize and was in the limelight, did not hesitate to express his love as a loyal fanboy of Ye Xuan again.
【Writer Chi Jian: Ten copies first. One for me, one for my brother, one for my cousin, one for my younger cousin... // People's Literature Publishing House......】
Just as many netizens were teasing Chi Jian, Chi Jian, who had just finished posting on Weibo, continued to count the quantity on his fingers, suddenly frowned, and muttered to himself.
"I almost forgot my newborn nephew and three-year-old niece; I'll order two more copies!"
Can't let the children fall behind at the starting line!
Seeing the 【Order Successful】 reminder pop up on the phone page, Chi Jian gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Learning culture must start from childhood!
Taking the same approach as Chi Jian was the Chairman of the Writers Association, Xiao Ren.
This chairman first ordered one hundred copies for himself and his friends and family incredibly quickly.
Then, recalling his identity as a literature professor at a certain university, he decisively added this new book that hadn't been published yet to the required reading list for students next semester.
These students, just in time for Mr. Ye to publish a poetry collection, are truly blessed!
Under the actions of countless people, the repost, comment, and like data of the People's Literature Publishing House's official Weibo climbed rapidly like a rocket.
Also climbing was the pre-sale volume in the background.
That night, after Editor-in-Chief Wang simply counted the current pre-orders, he was immediately dumbfounded.
Relying solely on Ye Xuan's name, in less than a day, the online pre-sale volume exceeded 100,000 copies!
And offline, major well-known bookstores across the country had already sent new book pre-orders to the publishing house.
The rough sum of pre-orders from all over the country reached as high as 900,000.
In other words, in just one day, relying solely on the two words "Ye Xuan," the online and offline pre-orders had already exceeded one million!
This is the influence of the number one author on the contemporary Chinese literature list!
As netizens' expectations for Ye Xuan's poetry collection grew stronger, many netizens reported to the publishing house's official Weibo from time to time, hoping to get a tiny bit of information about the new book from the editors.
There were also book fans who said they were hackers and threatened to hack the publishing house's computer to get a sneak peek.
Under the unanimous greetings of the netizens, the publishing house strictly guarded and did a good job of keeping secrets.
Keep their mouths shut and never spoil the plot!
Moreover, the publishing house also firmly implemented the "thoroughly not acting like a human" route without wavering.
They would post a "wow wow wow" Weibo every now and then.
【People's Literature Publishing House: Another day immersed in Mr. Ye Xuan's top-notch writing!】
【People's Literature Publishing House: Reading it again, I am deeply convinced by Mr. Ye Xuan's words again!】
This series of behaviors "angered" countless netizens.
You, you, you, you...
Isn't this too much?!
Doesn't your conscience hurt?!
Just like a kindergarten child who got a big red flower, specifically walking in front of a child who didn't get a red flower, showing off arrogantly:
Look, this is my big red flower, how beautiful and pretty it is!
Before leaving, they even raised their voice specifically, as if afraid others wouldn't hear: ===== CHAPTER 521 =====
End of Chapter
