Chapter 89

The chat with Editor-in-Chief Lou En was very pleasant. Although because of the age, the tone on the other side felt a bit like talking to a child, with long tones and weird intonations...

But the sincerity was very full.

"Student Zhai~ Don't worry, this work is stunning and definitely reached the standard of publication! Truly a hero out of a teenager~~"

Zhai Da endured the other party's weird tone, thinking to himself that Tao Zhe didn't have an electric wire in his mouth, so you couldn't turn...

It really belongs to treating him as a child.

"Thank you Editor-in-Chief Lou for your recognition. I don't know how many copies can be set for the first printing?"

"Although you are a new author, the quality is here~ and you have won the 'First Place in the Micro-Novel Competition', plus the identity of a high school student! ~ These are all good publicity points..."

"If the quality of the remaining parts can be maintained, I think setting it at 5000 copies is no problem. We have many channels, and if there are fewer, the goods won't be spread out."

He didn't give words like "try" or "maybe," because he himself could decide as the editor-in-chief.

This is the benefit of communicating directly with people above.

Giving this first printing quantity to a debut work is already very awesome. Ordinary people print 500 copies first.

Zhai Da: "I heard from Lu Siwen that you also paid attention to my blog?"

Lou En said with a smile: "Yes, I also write a blog, but no one reads it. Your blog is often hung on the homepage, so I naturally saw it. But to be honest, I can't keep up with the thinking of you young people, and I don't quite understand it."

Zhai Da thought to himself, if you understood it, that would be it...

That's something from the Weak-Minded Bar.

"You say, if I promote it on the blog at that time, will it have a positive effect on sales?"

Lou En nodded and said: "Your own book must be promoted. The effect will be a little bit, but it will definitely not be like your blog posts growing by tens of thousands. We also have some writer blogs with many fans, but it is not easy to convert them into physical book sales."

This is the truth. First, the internet era has not fully arrived. Even the "hottest" blog at present, in fact, the coverage and user volume are not very high.

Plus, you need real money to buy books for ten or twenty yuan, and you have to run offline, which is very troublesome.

Even with the exposure effect of 【Joker Poker】, it is useless if the conversion rate is pitifully low.

Zhai Da suddenly thought of an idea: "Then if... I publish some content on the blog in advance? For example, the first ten thousand words... divided into many articles, published in the form of serialization."

"It's hard to say dryly that you wrote a book and let everyone buy it, but if tens of thousands of people have gradually read into it, started to have a sense of substitution, and look forward to the follow-up, I suddenly make a cut! There is nothing behind!"

Lou En: "This is not good..."

"Where is it not good?"

Lou En: A bit not like a human.

This is also inconsistent with the rules of the contemporary publishing industry... Things like blogs are sent out, so they can't be taken back, right? Won't they be spread everywhere? Originally, pirated books were very rampant.

But Zhai Da felt that it was not bad the more he thought about it. First, it has a strong publicity effect, and second, his blog reading volume has money to take...

One book earns two copies of money!

If someone forwards it... send it! The more the better! Where is this called piracy, this is called self-coming water!

To put it bluntly, just the title of micro-novel competition champion is not enough to move the physical book market. Putting heart to heart, Zhai Da himself would not bird such a work, even if he paid attention to the other party on the internet.

Still have to take some demon paths.

However, Zhai Da will not play the "take it for granted" of the reborn. Having the concept of later generations is a big help, but entering a field he completely doesn't understand, he still has to listen to the advice of professionals.

He chatted with Editor-in-Chief Lou En about some of his ideas, and finally seemed to have really shaken him.

"This may be a new way... but I may have to consider it, and ask for the opinions of other young people in the company.. I can't keep up with the trend, but I don't exclude new things."

"Don't everyone pay attention to 'innovation' now!"

Finally, they chatted about some details, and both sides agreed to contact again in two days.

——————

The next day, the first day of school after the third mock exam.

Zhai Da ate breakfast as usual, said goodbye to Lu Wei who was studying at home, and then parted ways with Yu Xiaoli at the entrance of the residential area.

Playing with playing cards in his hand, he now has the blessing of "dexterous hands" and increasingly proficient techniques, reaching a quite high professional level, and he also got some simple magic props himself.

Flicking his fingers, several playing cards flew out spinning, and then circled back. The multiple playing cards in the air were like swallows flying out and returning, and the visual effect was far more shocking than a single card flying back.

The principle is actually similar to the clown throwing balls, just fast hands, but that is too "clown."

And this brother of mine, pure handsome!

Zhai Da smiled, he likes to play with these fancy things more and more now.

Didn't practice in vain.

Arriving at the school gate, it was still the busy and noisy appearance of the early morning. Unlike when he was just reborn, it was now completely summer, and most people wore summer school uniforms, including Zhai Da himself.

Leading short sleeves and chemical fiber long pants, it can't be said to be good-looking, but that kind of youthful charm is even stronger.

Some people say that school uniforms seal youth, making everyone mediocre.

But it is actually youth that seals the school uniform... when it ends.

Not long after, everyone will say goodbye to this outfit.

And never have the courage to wear it again in their lifetime.

Passing by a certain place, a large group of people gathered together, looking at the notice board, not knowing what they were looking at.

Zhai Da glanced at it and didn't see clearly, so he didn't stop and continued to walk inside.

But he was stopped by someone.

"Zhai Da!"

Turning his head, it was Lin Lin Shuyao.

Lin Lin Shuyao stood there prettily, very prominent among the crowd of tall, short, fat, and thin. This deskmate who is still a bit twisted actually rarely talks to Zhai Da outside the class.

Because Zhai Da doesn't pay much attention to her, it's fine in the seat, but outside, she can't open her face.

Lin Lin Shuyao pointed to the notice board: "You... might need to see this.."

The tone also carried disbelief.

Zhai Da didn't want to pay attention to her, but vaguely heard everyone whisper: "He is Zhai Da?"

"Really amazing, not only is the essay written well... the total score is so high!"

So he turned back and walked toward the notice board.

The crowd parted for him.

On the notice board, a red paper grade list was posted, which was also the last time Textile Middle School announced the ranking.

In the past, Zhai Da never looked at this kind of thing, especially in his previous life, because the school only listed the top 100 in liberal arts and science.

That had nothing to do with the former "high school student Zhai Da."

But today, he walked to the very front, his eyes starting from the 100th place at the very bottom, looking up.

One name after another, like one hill after another being crossed, finally "teenager Zhai Da" found himself at the very top of the list.

Once upon a time, "high school student Zhai Da" also fantasized about this scene.

For no reason, for no reason, everyone suddenly started applauding together.

Clap clap clap... clap clap clap..

This applause was not abrupt, because..

"Center of the stage": I am the protagonist!

"First place: Zhai Da, total score 404 (A)."

In the center of the crowd, Zhai Da smiled.

He likes to play with these fancy things more and more now.

Teenager Zhai Da..

Didn't come in vain.
