Chapter 594: If you trust the wrong person, you will suffer losses.
Yu Xiaoshu generally doesn’t post advertisements on his social media platforms easily. He hasn’t even promoted his own dramas, let alone promoted other people’s dramas.
In the past few years, Yu Xiaoshu only came out to promote his own works, and usually he was almost like an invisible person.
At the beginning, Yu Xiaoshu would give orders and even engage in some so-called quarrels with other people.
But in recent years, there are fewer and fewer of them, and Yu Xiaoshu’s personal account is just like an advertising account.
Actually, everyone can understand it.
After all, the current public opinion environment is basically extremely unfriendly to celebrities and artists. Many celebrities and artists’ personal accounts have basically become advertising accounts, and many of them are even operated entirely by operators.
It’s a bit funny to say, but last year, basically all major social platforms displayed the IP’s location, and then, the IP’s location of these celebrity artists were all revealed.
Of course, only fans think that the people chatting with them are the artists themselves. In fact, many people know how many of the so-called artist social platforms are now operated by themselves?
But the fans can’t help but believe it.
After the IP was opened this time, many fans began to understand a little bit.
Is there a ball?
Just like many people think that Yu Xiaoshu’s account is not managed by himself, some of Yu Xiaoshu’s fans are still willing to believe him.
This was the case when the web drama "The Beginning" was first aired. Everyone was making various comments.
Thousands of words can be reduced to one sentence, which is: "Please update more."
Obviously, for Yu Xiaoshu’s current fans, everyone is still only paying attention to the online drama "The Beginning".
Currently, "The Beginning" is getting better and better. After all, the murderer is almost about to surface. At the same time, the tense level of the plot makes everyone want to add more chapters.
As a result, at this time, just yesterday, "The Beginning" updated the seventh episode, and everyone already knows what the seventh episode is about.
You have to know that "The Beginning" is very popular right now, and everyone must want to know the situation of "The Beginning" at this time.
Who could have thought of the result?
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu actually started promoting "Journey to the West".
As we said before, most of the time circles are different.
Apart from anything else, you are like "I Am a Big Star", which is the ceiling of entertainment literature on the earth. This novel has been discussed a lot in the online literature for many years, and many novels are just imitations.
Even after so many years, the ceiling of this novel is still difficult to break.
But what about this web drama adapted from the web novel? ?
To be honest, it's already aired, how many people know about it? ?
Of course, there are many reasons for this, which we will not discuss here.
I just want to talk about this phenomenon.
Basically, whether it is a web drama, a TV series, or a movie, they are often somewhat different from online literature or physical novels.
For this reason, when Yu Xiaoshu started promoting "Journey to the West", everyone was very confused.
However, some of Yu Xiaoshu's die-hard fans expressed their complete understanding.
Here's the situation.
One fan did some scientific research.
At the beginning, after the TV series "All Is Well" became popular, in the essay contest held after the TV series "All Is Well", "Second Among The World" won the sales champion for the first time with "Holding Grandson".
If we only consider this aspect, it should be said that the second best in the world should thank Yu Xiaoshu.
But who could have thought? ?
The two of them actually achieved a dream collaboration again later, and "The Way of Heaven" written by Tianxia Didi appeared in "In the Name of People".
You have to know that "In the Name of People" is a phenomenal TV series. The records set by this TV series are all phenomenal. More importantly, the tragic color of the character Qi Tongwei makes many people like him, a charming villain. Then, the TV series "The Way of Heaven" was naturally discussed by everyone.
Because of the popularity of the TV series "In the Name of People", the sales of "The Way of Heaven" soared.
After all, "The Way of Heaven" consists of several short stories, and this collection of short stories is also published by Fengyang Publishing House.
For this reason, after everyone's popularization of science, many people have completely understood it.
Damn it.
It seems that Yu Xiaoshu and the second best in the world do have some relationship.
Then, it is understandable that Yu Xiaoshu came to promote The Second in the World.
Recently, Feng Ling has been watching "The Beginning".
For Feng Ling, she is truly fascinated by this web drama. Feng Ling feels that "The Beginning" vaguely gives her the same feeling as when she watched "I Am Yu Huanshui".
All living beings suffer.
This film, “The Beginning,” seems to have some of this meaning.
At the same time, Feng Ling believes that "The Beginning" is about characters. Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun need not be mentioned. The character trajectories of these two protagonists are just like that. Li Shiqing is relatively simple, and as for Xiao Heyun, it is obvious that he has some dark sides of his own.
As for the current passengers, Lu Di is a second-dimensional person, and Yi Ge is a live broadcast host. Among these two people, Lu Di took up one episode. After all, it was mainly about his family. He has asthma, and his almost controlling mother is a headache for many people.
Just imagine how many parents are like this, basically controlling their children based on the principle of what is good for their children.
In addition to Ma Xiaolong’s father Ma Guoqiang in the latest episode, Feng Ling believes that other characters will gradually appear in the future.
So here comes the question.
As a person who likes to think, or someone who likes to watch dramas, Feng Ling really feels that when the murderer surfaces, this will definitely be the focus.
In this case, the remaining two will probably also come up with some detailed behind-the-scenes stories like Ma Guoqiang.
Come to think of it, with just a few episodes, Feng Ling is actually worried whether it will be enough.
What a result.
Originally, she followed Yu Xiaoshu’s social media platform to see the updates of “The Beginning”, but she didn’t expect that Yu Xiaoshu would directly promote “Journey to the West”.
What is Journey to the West?
Feng Ling had never heard of it before.
She knew about 'The Second Best in the World' and she knew about it from 'In the Name of People'.
Because up to now, this 'Second Best in the World' has basically been quite low-key, many people don't even know who he is, and it's even difficult to find him.
What's more, Feng Ling is interested in film and television dramas, but she is not very interested in books.
At most, Feng Ling would just read some online articles occasionally.
But even when reading online novels, Feng Ling only likes to read urban novels. He has not read other online novels like fantasy and fairy tales.
Simply put, I'm not interested.
However, this time, Feng Ling was reading a novel about gods and demons recommended by Yu Xiaoshu.
This is a bit embarrassing.
Because Feng Ling didn't like reading so-called novels about gods and demons. She had indeed read some before, but they were really not good.
In other words, I can't see it at all.
Basically, this is not my cup of tea at all.
Under such circumstances, Feng Ling certainly would not read any books. After all, human time is always limited. If you read this, then naturally you will have no time to read that.
Feng Ling has long set a so-called level of concentration for himself, which is what he has to do every day. Feng Ling has always felt that he must be focused enough to do anything. Among them, Feng Ling feels that it is enough for him to focus on one thing.
That's exactly the case. After Feng Ling finishes work every time, she would basically watch the drama and be lucky enough to finish it.
How can I find other time to read?
But this time it was different.
The reason is simple, because it was recommended by Yu Xiaoshu.
Many people think that Yu Xiaoshu is just returning a favor, or even think that Yu Xiaoshu is doing a typical advertisement, but Feng Ling doesn't think so.
This is Yu Xiaoshu.
How could he recommend a novel just for the sake of so-called favor?
Then you can read this novel.
In this way, Feng Ling waited until 12 noon, and after get off work she came to the bookstore to buy a copy of "Journey to the West".
Who knew that the bookstore owner said helplessly: "It's sold out."
Feng Ling was puzzled: "It's sold out so quickly? Wasn't it just launched on the market? "
"We only bought a few copies, who knew they would sell so well? We also told the publisher that we wanted more, but they only printed 100,000 copies for the first issue, which is totally not enough."
The bookstore owner was furious when he talked about this, and at the same time he felt extremely regretful.
You know, a friend reminded him at the beginning that "Journey to the West" should be good, and asked him to at least buy more copies, and he would definitely be able to sell a few hundred copies.
But the bookstore owner didn't believe it.
He felt that the industry was not optimistic about this damn "Journey to the West", especially after investigations showed that not many people liked it. More importantly, Fengyang Publishing House was also not optimistic about the novel.
I heard that some of the 100,000 copies were going to be cut at the beginning, but they were finally kept because of the editor Su Qing's insistence.
So what now???
Are the editor-in-chief and chief editor of Fengyang Publishing House both fools?
Do you think this novel is so unpopular?
What do you eat???
Yes.
The bookstore owner was really cursing.
And it's not just this one bookstore owner, other bookstore owners have similar ideas.
MMP.
Is your Fengyang Publishing House any good?
yes.
We did import a little less goods, but you didn’t even have much in the first print run.
at this time.
Fengyang Publishing House.
The editor-in-chief and the chief editor were both in the office, and both were being scolded by their boss.
"What's going on??? What's going on???"
Obviously, the boss was very angry when he learned the news.
All along, he has been confident in handing over Fengyang Publishing House to the editor-in-chief Zhao Xiangbei. After all, the performance of this publishing house has not been very good. For the boss, he is just pursuing a dream.
If he just wanted to make money, he would have closed down his publishing house long ago.
Not caring about efficiency is one thing, but that is not a reason for them to do whatever they want.
Originally, Liu Bo, the boss of Fengyang Publishing House, was out picking up girls, but after a while, many celebratory calls came in.
These celebratory calls were basically to express congratulations to Liu Bo. The current reputation of "Journey to the West" is very good, and all major bookstores are out of stock.
Good job.
When Liu Bo first heard these celebratory calls, he was quite happy.
After all, he felt that these people came to celebrate sincerely.
But things turned out not to be the case later.
Because Liu Bo specifically asked about it, he found out that the first edition of Journey to the West was printed in only 100,000 copies.
100,000 copies, what the hell is this? ?
Let alone nationwide distribution, how many bookstores are there in the entire imperial capital?
These 100,000 copies are just a bunch of crap.
What’s more crucial is that after Liu Bo asked again, he found out that Zhao Xiangbei actually wanted to cut a portion of the 100,000 volumes.
what the hell? ? ?
Liu Bo came to his company in a rage and started scolding Zhao Xiangbei and Li Shang.
Of course, Zhao Xiangbei couldn't take the blame for this.
He is the editor-in-chief and he would not take the blame easily, so he looked at Li Shang.
Li Shang understood what Zhao Xiangbei meant.
But there is no way.
Who made Zhao Xiangbei the one in charge of himself?
But Li Shang was no fool, he quickly said: "Boss, we can't be in a hurry about this matter for now, because it is true that Journey to the West is out of stock at the moment, but this is partly related to Yu Xiaoshu..."
Liu Bo was slightly stunned.
He really didn't know this.
After all, Liu Bo never cares about the company's affairs.
He knew his own strengths and weaknesses, so Liu Bo always entrusted the publishing house to Zhao Xiangbei with confidence.
Because professional matters should be left to professionals.
This is an advantage, but sometimes, if you entrust your work to the wrong person, this advantage will turn into a disadvantage.
It's very obvious.
For Liu Bo, if he handed over the publishing house to a professional, then this publishing house would probably really become bigger and stronger.
But he handed the publishing house over to a short-sighted person, so it would be strange if the publishing house did not suffer losses.
Obviously, Zhao Xiangbei is such a person.
In the past few years, thanks to Zhao Xiangbei's efforts, Fengyang Publishing House has achieved steady losses, and each year has been in a rather embarrassing situation.
Fortunately, Liu Bo is a rich second-generation and has money.
Otherwise, no one would suffer such a loss.
But Zhao Xiangbei didn't think he was wrong. He always felt that he was quite professional.
The same is true this time.
Look, after Li Shang finished saying this, Zhao Xiangbei quickly took over the conversation.
"Boss, this is the situation."
Zhao Xiangbei explained quickly.
