Gu Xinxue looked at the numbers released on the official website of the Press and Publication Bureau and smiled from ear to ear. Including pre-sales, he sold 2.08 million copies on the first day, and continued to significantly break the first-day sales record of Chinese books!

The main reason is that the pre-sale is too powerful. Such pre-sales may be difficult to copy in this book. It is entirely a coincidence that all the favorable factors gathered together at this moment.

This is not only the result that Nanhai Publishing Company can contribute. If there is no more than 100 million prepaid manuscript fees from Random Bookstore, it will be obvious that it will not be able to reach such a great level without the hot reports on the book fair!

"Every time I see Zhang Chu's sales figures, I have to be excited for a long time. He is completely against the market!"

His colleague Shi Zhiguo was also shocked by this unparalleled number. Non-fantasy works and non-sequel works have overcome a series of adverse factors and sold so many copies in China.

"Thank you for what happened last time. "Decryption" has been bought by Random Bookstore. Although the price is incomparable to Zhang Chu, it is quite good."

There are actually quite a lot of excellent people in China, but they all lack a channel for sales.

If Gu Xinxue hadn't introduced Blair to Shi Zhiguo, "Decipher" would have been like many other works, full of regrets!

Gu Xinxue shook his head and said, "I'm just introducing it. It's useless. If that book is not good enough, people from Random House will definitely not buy it. Lao Shi, we have to pay more attention to similar works recently. "The Da Vinci Code" is in front of the jade, which will definitely make the categories of suspense, reasoning and thriller popular."

"It's not up to you to say that every publishing company is vigorously accepting these types of manuscripts. In the past, authors in this small category had a problem of food and clothing, but now they have become popular!"

No one is a fool. After "Ghost Blows Out the Light", a series of tomb robbers who followed the trend also achieved commercial success.

Even though the evaluation is average or even bad, it cannot withstand the market's favorite, readers will just take that one!

Tomb robbers not only have a great glory on the Internet, but also many works of slightly better quality meet readers through physical entities.

Now Zhang Chu is not taking the ordinary path, and puts the eyes of the people in fantasy, fantasy, fairy tale, and love on suspense and reasoning.

"The Da Vinci Code" eats meat, and the rest of the followers can drink some soup, but the requirements are not high.

Gu Xinxue was originally responsible for publishing this type of genre. Zhang Chu used several works to revitalize this type, and the sales of other writers under him increased!

"It was probably because Zhang Chuyang was embarrassed. Now, when you look at other people's submissions, you feel that it's far from it. You see, I don't know which book to sign recently. It's written so well to set off the rest of the people."

Shi Zhiguo said enviously: "You are in a blessing but don't know how to be blessed. Who doesn't know that you are Zhang Chu's editor? You must have received a lot of manuscripts!"

"The Da Vinci Code" has just been released, and those editors want to let the writers under their command follow suit, and it is too late to imitate. After all, they have to analyze the various elements and the various plot structures cannot be completed in one day.

So writers who just finished writing this subject became popular. Publishing companies are all unconventional and have strong ability to take advantage of the popularity.

They planned to announce their new book plans after the momentum of "Da Vinci Code" was slightly weaker. At least as far as Gu Xinxue knew, several publishing companies have changed their names, regardless of whether the content and title would be inconsistent!

There are many cases of selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, such as "The Last Knight", "The Holy Grail", and "The Mist of Dunhuang" and "The Suspicion of the Kong Mansion" that are claimed to be the Chinese-style Da Vinci code.

Rather than saying that these are following the trend, it is better to say that they are clearly taking advantage.

Any hot book is inevitable if it succeeds, and the above situation is still slightly higher.

Some publishing companies have no bottom line at all. They will imitate the title of the book or even the cover and copy the cottage to the end!

For example, the recently popular "A Brief History of Humanity" has encountered the biggest crisis. It was originally the work of Israeli writer Yuval, but it was hit by domestic publishers, also called "A Brief History of Humanity".

But the subtitles are different. The genuine subtitles are "From Animals to God" and the copycat version is "We Humans Over the Years".

Regarding this book, a lot of complaints appeared on platforms such as Douban and Amazon, and countless readers suffered. The rating of the copycat version on Douban is as low as 2.5 points. Many readers commented that they bought a fake book!

Fake books, follow-up books, and copycat books are not new in China. Especially copycat classics, which are a common phenomenon that has existed in the book publishing industry for a long time.

After the whirlwind of each well-known best-selling book, there will always be a large number of books carrying the same concepts coming one after another, and make a lot of money by taking advantage of the popularity of best-selling concepts. This kind of book either follows the concept, follows the topic, follows the plot, follows the protagonist, and follows the title of the book.

Now Nanhai Publishing Company and Hanlin Culture Media are monitoring similar titles and covers very tightly. Many of them have been using the popularity of ghost blowing the lights before, such as "Demon Slayer", "Demon Slayer" and "Demon Lighting the Lights" that make people have no way to blame. At first glance, it seems a bit similar.

But there are also works that directly put the Ghost Blows in the title of the book, including "Ghost Blows in the Light: The Ghost Coffin of the Yellow River" and "Ghost Blows in the Light: Xiangxi Divine Gu" and all of them were sued to court!

He didn't send a lawyer's letter at all, so he just sued it first, just to treat it as a killing chicken to warn the monkey.

In this way, there are still many fewer people who write directly on the title of the book, most of which are changed to one or two characters or homophones, so there is no infringement at the legal level.

Now "The Da Vinci Code" is probably going to encounter similar things, so Gu Xinxue feels very tired.

...

"I really didn't expect that I would have been poached by high prices."

Wang Longhua looked at the QQ message on the computer screen and said to himself.

He was a middle school teacher before, but because he didn't like the teachers in the office who had a fight like the Legend of Zhen Huan for an advanced place, he simply resigned and wrote a book at home!

He is mainly engaged in suspense and reasoning and has accumulated a lot of works over the years, but most of them are lukewarm.

Let’s talk about it, it seems that more than 100,000 copies can be sold, so that I will not live in poverty.

Let’s talk about it, but I feel that I’m still a few breaths away. I’ve been writing it for almost ten years and I only have a small number of readers. Most of his works have been said without anyone ever heard of them!

"The Man in the Late Night Glasses" published in the first half of this year is quite good in sales. It has a horror and suspense-like color that has sold nearly 200,000 copies, which is the highest-selling work in recent years.

Now he has a little rest and starts preparing to create new books. He is not a great master, and he has no capital to rest for a year or two before publishing new books. He is still hoping to buy a school district house by writing books!

Originally he planned to write a weird story, but after seeing "The Da Vinci Code", his editor rejected the original new book's creativity. Now he was asked to write similar works and designated the title of the book "The Da Vinci Code on the River During the Qingming Festival".

The Qingming Festival, The River During the River During the Qingming Festival, is one of the top ten famous paintings in China. It vividly records the urban appearance of the capital of Tokyo during the Northern Song Dynasty. It depicts a large number of people and livestock, as well as cars, sedan chairs, large and large ships, houses and bridges, etc. in the scroll more than five meters long.

There have always been speculations about this painting. Now, with the promotion of Da Vinci's password, Wang Longhua's editor thinks this is a good entry point!

But Wang Longhua himself was a little resistant, which was inconsistent with his writing style.

He really envied Zhang Chu for being able to achieve such high achievements at home and abroad at a young age, and his works are really excellent and readable. This hasty follow-up to other people's works will not be of any benefit to his writing career.

So after careful consideration, he refused to remove the subject matter given by the editor, and the editor turned around and handed over the subject matter of the new book to another signed writer.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Longhua plans to change to a publishing company, and under such a short-sighted editor, he may ruin himself.

But what he didn't expect was that before the new book was written, another publishing company began to poach!

This time, Wang Longhua hoped that he would be more free in his creation and would not accept any essays on the topic. The editor of Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House agreed readily, and they just liked Wang Longhua's ability.

"Actually, I am a bit hypocritical. If I don't want to follow the trend, it's definitely fake. After all, the discount of 100 million is too high. But I think I have to decide on writing. For example, if I have a new book, I will imitate the structure of "Da Vinci", which is reversal and subversion."

"No problem. If you have any specific ideas, you can talk to me and let's discuss it together."

"I have two ideas, and I don't know which one to write. One is about Darwin. In this book, the theory of evolution was obtained wholesale by Darwin from the elders of the indigenous tribes. The title is temporarily called "Darwin's Conspiracy". The other is about Sherlock Holmes, who Conan Doyle hid a treasure in his famous Sherlock Holmes series, and it can be found through this series!"

"I'm quite interested in Darwin's movie, and he is also famous abroad. If he writes it well, he might be able to sell the copyright. Can you tell me in detail?"

Wang Longhua was not afraid that the other party would steal the thoughts in his head. In fact, he had registered his name and outline at the Copyright Office to avoid disputes.

So after he recalled it in his mind, he started typing and entering the general content. This book actually has little to do with "The Da Vinci Code". The only one is the book type, which is based on historical suspense!

Rather than saying that this is following the trend, it has become an opportunity for inspiration to explode.
