Unlike the good reputation of "The Devil Doctor", "Love in Paris" written by the young wife of a European noble family was criticized by the whole network.
Such a post appeared on a large anonymous forum.
"My titanium alloy dog eyes are blind, there must be a limit to the nonsense of "Love in Paris""
LZ: Dog eyes are blind
My God, have you seen Morning Star's first recommendation this year? That one is ridiculous, saying that her husband is a veteran aristocrat in China, and he only drinks a certain brand of tea, and he vomited it out after mixing it with a little bit of other tea leaves. The
most incomprehensible thing is that there is a paragraph in it saying that she and her husband went to meet the royal family, but she got jealous, and her husband left the princess alone and ran to her to explain that the princess was willing and he only had her in his heart!
There must be a limit to the nonsense.
——This
resonated with many netizens, who complained about the absurd plots in the book. Even the local customs and practices were explained by local people who said they had never heard of them.
#Aristocratic husband# became a meme.
"My aristocratic husband said that cola must be a 1:1 ratio of Pepsi and Coca-Cola. The first time I got it wrong, he said to me in Mandarin with a dialect from Province X, Darling, you have to learn the lifestyle of the aristocracy."
And so on.
Once the topic exploded, it attracted the revelations of those who were curious.
An international student nicknamed "Shuangjing" said: "Do you really think that husband of so-and-so is a noble? Which noble family can bear to have sex with his wife in public? It's all an act. The noble titles in this country are all publicly traceable. The old nobles don't have this surname at all, but there is a person who donates money and looks like one."
This statement was recognized by many people, but the fans were determined to defend it and they were fighting each other.
However, not long after, an anonymous person posted a photo, which was an old photo of the noble husband. He had a very ordinary appearance, very ordinary clothes, and the car he drove was even more ordinary.
This has nothing to do with the so-called "noble education since childhood" personality.
Everyone was shocked.
Personality is something that takes a long time to build, but it can collapse in just one night.
Originally, there were still aristocratic fans who defended them, but what they admired was just the "aristocratic" skin.
The aristocratic husband is no longer aristocratic, but just an ordinary man.
Who has the patience to wave the flag and shout for him? So the birds and beasts scattered, and there was no shortage of people who quit the pit and stepped back.
"The aristocratic husband is really ugly, and there is nothing good except white skin."
Attached is a high-definition photo of the scene.
The reputation has fallen again and again, and it has fallen through the earth.
"Love in Paris" is unsalable, and the ratings on Bookworm.com are falling every day. All the ratings are one-star, and there are a lot of bad reviews. Even the water army can't brush it up.
What happened to the devil 1 in the past is repeated here.
President Tao was so angry that he jumped up and down. After Xia Xing went to jail, Chenxing lost a general. He spent a lot of effort to promote such a newcomer, but the result was such a mess.
"Boss Kang, you are so cruel." President Tao muttered, "Wait for me here."
He walked around the office twice, knowing that he couldn't just sit and wait for death. The best defense is to attack. The Golden Crow intends to avenge the devil. It is coming with great force, so he has to aim at the soft spot.
"Jingjing, I'm sorry for you again." He felt a little reluctant. After all, any man would feel distressed when he attacked a beautiful girl.
But beautiful girls are not as good as money.
So, after the popularity of "Love in Paris" dropped slightly, new provocative posts appeared.
"Jinwu fans, don't be too proud, sales volume ≠ good reputation"
LZ: Huang Huang
U1S1, "Devil Doctor" is just taking advantage of the upcoming show, and the autograph session is all because of JBY, the quality itself is hard to say, book fans should be careful not to break their legs if they praise it too much
1L: XXX
finally told the truth, it's so embarrassing to praise it everywhere, people who don't know would think it won the Nobel Prize
...
8L: Insider
"Devil Doctor" data is too obviously inflated, Jinwu is really spending a lot of money to support Jian Jing. Tsk tsk, does anyone know what her background is? With such strong support, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed for not being worthy of the position? I hope she won't commit suicide again.
9L: Susu
Jian Jing is known as the little princess in Jinwu. Without Kang Mucheng, can she be popular?
10L: AAA
pure passerby, what is the meaning of suicide?
...
30L: Koutian
It seems that everyone doesn't know yet, Princess Jian is very fragile. She was scolded in Devil 1 and committed suicide at home. Later, the news was suppressed. You just don't know
-
Morning Star's counterattack is not to be said to be vicious and fast, but this time, before Jinwu's navy arrived, the fans took action first.
50L: Medicine seller
What's wrong with male celebrities? If you have money, you can also invite them. Red eye disease needs to be treated (fuck)
61L: Give up
The celebrities came voluntarily, okay! I was caught queuing secretly, and ended up stealing your attention. I'm sorry, who made Chenxing useless? Keke72L
: Ye Xuanyu
Jingjing is the best! Some people who are jealous are just jealous. Our Jingjing is beautiful and talented. You can envy her!
83L: Ruoyue
Apart from other things, the author is so beautiful, much better than the next door, and she is also very beautiful
...
Unlike the small accounts of the water army, the accounts that posted this time are all active elements, and it is clear who is real and who is fake.
——Then
, such a problem appeared in a certain question-and-answer forum.
Questioner: Zhihe
Jian Jing's new book "Devil Doctor 2" was sold out on the Internet ten days after its release. What is her status in the publishing industry?
Question description: A week ago, someone argued with me that signing 10,000 copies on site was a celebrity effect. What do you have to say now?
The most upvoted answers are all like this↓
First place to eat: Let me put it this way, I saw that everyone else was reading Devil 2, and then I wanted to buy it, but it was out of stock...
The elves in the castle: As someone who never reads novels, this is the first time I want to buy a novel, but it's out of stock
...
There is also a guy who is not sure if he is a real passerby or a fake passerby, asking questions deliberately.
Anonymous: The simple and quiet "Devil 1" was ridiculed by everyone, but "Devil 2" was a big hit. Does anyone know what happened? Is the difference between the two books so big?
Luan Luan: A former practitioner, please say a few words
. In fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that from the bad reviews of Devil 1 to the huge hit of Devil 2, there is the shadow of Morning Star behind it.
When I was working on Devil 1, I happened to come across Xia Xing's book. In order to support the little queen, Chen Xing hired some trolls to discredit Jian Jing, saying whatever they wanted, and even making up rumors that she committed suicide. It can be said that the means were quite shameless.
This time, Jin Wu learned a lesson and used the opponent's force to defeat him, and harvested accurately, beautiful! It should have been over here, but Chen Xing tasted the sweetness of the trolls last time, and wanted to repeat the same trick after the failure of Love in Paris. Please, the last time it succeeded was because the mother and son of the Kang family were not in the country, and it would be a miracle if it could succeed again this time.
Now, the reporter they hired sent a positive press release to the other side for nothing, and also washed away the dirty water that was splashed on them last time. A former industry insider wanted to advise Chenxing that those who only know how to promote and hate others will not go far in the publishing industry.
——Although
I don’t know whether this industry insider is real or fake, this is undoubtedly a very good means of public opinion.
Through this question and answer, not only did they label all those who criticized Devil 1 as Morning Star’s water army, selling a wave of misery, but they also explained Jian Jing’s "suicide".
In the future, if someone talks about suicide again, the first reaction of the public will be "Isn’t that the dirty water splashed by the opponent?", paving the way for Jian Jing's future.
Mr. Tao had been pulling his hair for several days and had used all the means he could. We were all doing business in the same circle, so we couldn't just strip off all our underwear.
He took the initiative to call Kang Mucheng and admitted defeat: "Mr. Kang, I lose this time. You are so cruel. You have been preparing for half a year, right? There was a rumor that you were going to sign with Paris. It seems that you also deceived me. Tsk, I was fooled by you!"
In fact, he was not so optimistic about the book "Falling in Paris", but someone said that Kang Mucheng seemed to be in contact with the other party, so he made up his mind to sign it and make it the first recommendation in the new year.
In other words, Mr. Tao believed in Kang Mucheng's vision in his heart.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that this was a pit.
It's not that easy to find the scandalous photos of the husband of the noble family. Mr. Tao is not stupid enough to think that he found them by chance. Jinwu must have sent people to dig them out long ago and
they are waiting for him here. "Leave a way out for me. I'm done. Please show some mercy too." Mr. Tao is shameless and has no psychological barriers to admitting defeat and begging for mercy. He speaks very smoothly.
Kang Mucheng: "Did you show mercy at the beginning?"
"Hey, look how angry you are. Those who stepped on Jingjing weren't all my people at that time." President Tao laughed, "Isn't it all in the past now?"
Kang Mucheng said coldly: "You said stop, so stop. Are you awake?"
President Tao sighed, knowing that it couldn't end well, and continued to show goodwill: "Empty words are not enough. I know you don't believe me, but I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart, President Kang, I also couldn't bear to do anything to Jingjing. Alas, in fact, I have always disagreed, but you also know that Chenxing is not under my control."
Kang Mucheng: I don't believe you.
"How about this, I swear that I will never use Jingjing as an excuse again, okay?" President Tao said straightforwardly, "I have many problems, but my credit is always good."
He didn't lie, President Tao's credit in the industry is not bad. Kang Mucheng also knew that the two publishing houses could not really tear each other apart, which would only allow other companies to take advantage.
After venting his anger to this extent, it was time to stop.
But he still wanted to warn the other party: "If you use Jingjing to make a fuss again, you won't get away with it so easily."
"I promise." President Tao swore.
Kang Mucheng then hung up the phone.
President Tao put down his phone, rubbed his face, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He didn't lie, but it had nothing to do with conscience. There was only one reason for no longer dealing with Jian Jing. It can't
be stopped
. Those little tricks, I'm afraid, will no longer work.
After New Year's Day, Jian Jing never went online to read reviews again, and only focused on sales.
Therefore, she knew nothing about the bloody storm on the Internet, nor did she know the game behind Chenxing and Jinwu. Her psychological journey was quite simple.
From 1st to 3rd, she was worried that the books would not sell well, and she doubted whether she really had a talent for writing like the other self.
From 3rd to 5th, the sales were good, and she felt stable. She started eating and drinking in a good mood and preparing for winter vacation travel.
From 6th to 10th, what happened? Where was I? What happened? ?
As far as she could remember, she had never encountered a shortage of new books.
The publishing industry in the other world had long been a sunset industry, and if a physical book could sell hundreds of thousands, it would already be among the top writers.
But if she remembered correctly, Kang Mucheng had given her a special shot of vaccination, saying that the first print run would only be 500,000, so that she would not be too stressed and would not suffer a loss if it could not be sold.
Now all the 500,000 stocks have been sold out?
Kang Mucheng: "It's 800,000."
According to his original idea, he would have to prepare 1 million for the first print run, but considering that he didn't want to put too much pressure on her, he cut it in half.
On the morning of the 3rd, he saw good signs online, so he hurriedly asked the printing factory to continue production, and only then did he fill the gap of 300,000.
But as word of mouth spread, the newly replenished inventory was gone, and the pre-sale channel was urgently opened. In a blink of an eye, 70,000 to 80,000 people paid the deposit.
Jian Jing: "..." She lost the ability to speak because she was too shocked.
Kang Mucheng didn't mention a word about the challenges of the past few days, but just said: "I am relieved."
The sales of "White Cat Detective" are 780,000, which is dazzling enough for a newcomer, but its target audience is only teenagers, and it is destined to be difficult to cross the million mark. The sales of "Hide and Seek" were 500,000, and because of the movie reprint some time ago, the sales were only 200,000.
One million is a hurdle.
Only when the sales exceed one million can you say that you are a best-selling author.
Jian Jing has been writing books for five years and finally passed this difficult threshold. From now on, her value will be different.
As expected, 20 days after the release, the sales of "Devil Doctor 2" exceeded the one million mark.
