I am a writer

Chapter 158 It's Really a Benefit!

To be honest, the first time I saw that Qin Chuan was going to publish a mystery novel, Xie Junpeng refused.

He told his friends that he refused because there was no room for mystery novels in the market, as if he was forced by reality to change careers and write ghosts.

Xie Junpeng loves and hates mystery novels.

How much I loved it at the beginning, and how regretful it is now.

After hard work and careful consideration, I wrote a long mystery novel of more than 20 words, and invested in dozens of publishing companies, but none of them was willing to publish it.

Finally, a company let go, and it turned out that Xie Junpeng published it at his own expense.

Royalties?

Don't even think about it.

In a fit of anger, Xie Junpeng directly posted this manuscript on the Internet.

Writing a bullshit mystery novel, let alone making a living from it, can't even make back the electricity bill.

After careful research, he found that the risk of writing novels on the Internet is very small, and it can also be published after writing.

But whoever writes a book has no dream of publishing.

So he wrote and wrote, and he became a supernatural god on the Internet.

The novel not only attracts high subscriptions, but is also very strong after being published as a physical book.

Xie Junpeng applies reasoning elements to the supernatural, making the content eye-catching, suspenseful and thrilling.

His fourth novel "Ghost Case Team" tells a story about using ghosts to solve crimes. People's hearts are often scarier than ghosts!
This work ranks among the best on **.com, and the physical book has been promoted for a long time and will be released soon.

However, this issue of the new book to be released has encountered a familiar opponent.

At the beginning, Xie Junpeng's "Ghost Case Team" also had a head-to-head PK with "Zhu Xian" on the monthly ticket list of **.com, but the opponent was fighting for the first place, and he was fighting for the top ten.

Now, after going round and round, two online novel authors have to meet again in the physical book market.

It's really sad enough.

"Do you think that Qin Chuan is a bold person with a high level of art, or that he dared to publish mystery novels after several books in a row?" Xie Junpeng discussed with the rest of the authors in the group.

Everyone in the group is either a master or a senior writer. They have more or less published one or several physical books, and they also have judgments about the current market.

Bai Jianben replied: "It may be the illusion given to them by the popularity of the Internet. Why can't mystery novels be popular! I quite like it."

The great gods in the group have passed the era of spelling and updating, and now they are basically chatting online, with very few code words.

"Yes, not only does he dare to publish it, but the publishing company also dares to publish it. It's a perfect match."

"I heard that there seems to be an accident."

"What accident?"

"I don't know what's going on. Dangdang.com and Goudong Book City's slogan directly said that the heroine is the murderer. Now his readers are in an uproar, and they have been spoiled in advance!"

"real or fake!"

Xie Junpeng said: "Actually, it sounds like a routine. It's like a game of cat and mouse. The readers know who the murderer is, but the characters in it don't. This kind of information gap is actually quite interesting. Although I'm a little worried about this book. The sales volume of the book, but to be honest, if Qin Chuan is really successful, maybe I will switch back to writing reasoning after the next book."

He was really unhappy.

Why can't the novels I like become popular genres?

I am not reconciled to others being able to succeed, but at the same time I hate myself for not being able to do it at the time.

Now that I have accumulated enough readers and money, even if a new book is sold out, it will not affect my life.

"Dapeng, you can definitely do it!"

"I'm sorry, have you checked the statistics? Qin Chuan's new book "The Devotion of Suspect X" has more than 5 pre-sales! What level is this?"

"It's far beyond the level of mystery novels! It's awesome, absolutely top-notch!"

"I'm really convinced by Qin Chuan. Even writing about such an unpopular topic can have so many pre-sales. The fans are too cohesive!"

"In fact, there is no need to be so surprised. It is normal to see the explosion of pre-sales. After all, Qin Chuan has a fan base, and he can sell a lot from the beginning of pre-sales. But books are not only sold to fans, it depends on whether ordinary readers buy them or not. .”

"That's right, it's just like the movies of many traffic niches. The fans rushed to the box office on the first day, and the result was tens of millions on the first day, and millions on the second day. Without the support of passers-by, it's nothing. "

"The total amount of pre-sales is very important, as well as the reaction of ordinary readers after the official release."

"I advise Dapeng to be more cautious and not to make up your mind hastily. Maybe Qin Chuan's book is not as popular as your "Ghost Case 5" at all!"

The group of friends are very sensible and did not rush because of the momentary success.

In their current situation, they finally succeeded in transforming, but then they transformed back because of a momentary whim. So why bother?
Xie Junpeng sent a smile with tears in his face and said: "I will, no matter what I say, I have to finish writing the ghost case team, and the new book is not good at all. I also want to write a different mystery novel, jump out of the present s frame."

They are all waiting for the specific figures and sales trends of Qin Chuan's new book pre-sale.

However, it is unbelievable that in the next few days, although the number of new additions to "The Devotion of Suspect X" has decreased compared to the first day, it is still tens of thousands every day.

In just three days, the total number of pre-sales exceeded 10 copies!

Not only did it shock the attention of writers, but it also gave various publishing companies a glimmer of hope!

Incredible!

A golden phoenix actually flew out of the mystery novel that has always been considered a classification of death.

The pre-sale period is still so long, breaking through 20 or 30 is not a problem.

Even the people from Kaijuan Publishing Company did not expect that Qin Chuan would have such a high pre-sale, it was really a treasure.

Lai Feiyu was overjoyed. He not only kept Qin Chuan, but also created a book IP for the company that could be sold repeatedly.

Obviously this book has not yet been publicly listed, but other companies have already smelled the smell, and began to contact those reasoning writers who are usually dismissive!
Long mystery novels, preferably excellent and innovative.

If there are none, a collection of short and medium stories will do.

Mystery novels cannot be completed overnight, but require macro control and mastery of details. If bugs are flying all over the sky, readers will not be able to read it at all, and it will naturally have a bad reputation.

Authors of mystery novels whose manuscripts had been rejected countless times were dumbfounded.

The manuscripts they saved in the computer finally came into use. They were consulted and discussed in detail by various publishing companies, and they even received several emails at a time!

A vivid interpretation of what it means to ignore me yesterday, but to me today you cannot reach.

Nowadays, there are so many novels in other categories that publishing new works is almost overwhelming.

The appearance of Qin Chuan reminded these companies that there was still a barren category waiting to be developed!
It’s not that no one reads mystery novels, it’s just that they have been underperforming due to various reasons.

Now that everyone is pushing this genre hard, it will definitely attract enough readers to enter, and maybe even get a share of it!

"The Devotion of Suspect X" really helped these mystery writers by accident, not to mention helping them realize their dream of publishing, and maybe even increase their income a lot. It is really a benefit!
