House Dad’s Literary Life

Chapter 183 The Fairy Tale Collection (510)

Urge more? For Yang Yi, it does not exist.

He still updates at his own pace, and updating two chapters in two time points a day is the limit of his ability.

It's not that it is difficult to rewrite the plot of the TV series into text. If it is just text, Yang Yi can update a few more chapters a day without any problem, but this novel needs a lot of illustrations to help the audience understand the plot and characters. understand!

Drawing illustrations took a lot of time! Two updates a day is enough to toss!

And Yang Yi doesn't like to spend a lot of time drawing and writing novels, he still has life, Xixi, and music... Well, there's the coffee shop he's struggling with.

Boss, have another cup of mocha! No, another guest was calling.

Okay, wait a minute! Yang Yi was helplessly interrupted, and neatly brewed a cup of coffee and brought it over.

After school started, the coffee shop, which was originally unknown, became lively. Even if there were not many students coming from the back door, it could not support the huge student base of the university. Dozens of people a day were enough for Yang Yi to toss!

Moreover, some guests did not leave after drinking coffee, some came with friends and could talk for hours, and some specially used the coffee shop as a study room, and after buying a cup of coffee, they hid Go to a quiet corner, read and study, and sit there in the morning or afternoon.

Tired of the music in the coffee shop? No, they still listen to music with their headphones plugged in!

Yang Yi doesn't care about the space these people occupy. It doesn't matter if the coffee shop makes money or not. Why would he care about these issues?

He felt that with more guests, he had less time, and he had no time to be in a daze when he was busy.

Yang Yi somewhat misses the state of having two or three customers a day. It's great that you don't have to be busy making coffee or washing cups. Most of the time, he sits alone in the store and listens to songs with his eyes closed.

Now if Xixi didn't go to kindergarten, I'm afraid I wouldn't have time to accompany her, right?

Yang Yi brought the coffee over, came back to the bar and sat down, he frowned slightly, and thought to himself: This is not possible, we have to think of a way!

Why don't you hang a sign at the door saying that only two or three guests are accepted a day? No more coffee.

However, if you don't seem to have such a big name, what reason is there to reject people thousands of miles? Yang Yi felt that this idea was inappropriate.

Do you want to increase the price? Selling the most expensive coffee is prohibitive?

But Yang Yi doesn't want to be a profiteer who only serves the rich!

What's more, Yang Yi didn't want to shut out music lovers like Lu Xiaoshu and Miao Chuan who couldn't afford expensive coffee. At one point, he even considered reducing the price!

These ideas obviously don't work.

Yang Yi suddenly thought of Yan Xiaopei, or more accurately, her flower shop. This woman is very shrewd. She hires college students to work part-time for her flower shop, and her salary is much lower than that of full-time employees.

Of course, Yang Yi doesn't want to exploit college students, nor does he want to hire cheap labor, but it seems like it's a good idea to recruit one or two clerks to work in his store!

I can give a higher salary, as long as this employee is practical and capable, the issue of money doesn't matter! Yang Yi thought to himself.

He began to look forward to such a scene, someone in the store worked for him at the bar, and then his boss sat leisurely in a certain booth, reading newspapers and listening to songs, and he wanted to drink coffee and then go to the bar to get a cup.

How cool?

...

Just when Prison Break was on the shelves, another book by Yang Yi also quietly appeared on the shelves of major bookstores.

Xixi's Bedtime Story, the name of the scumbag father who is stubborn, is obviously not attractive to readers at all.

Of course, Sahara Publishing House has not done propaganda before this, but Sahara, which has never been involved in the field of children's books, is still playing like an adult in copywriting. Many fans of Yang Yi are more or less. They knew the news, but they were not willing to buy books for children to read.

Even when the news that Yang Yi wrote a collection of fairy tales spread among the fans, many fans thought it was a rumor and fooling people!

Just kidding! Yang Yi can write fairy tales? You are a fairy tale, right?

It’s not wrong to say this. Yang Yi’s impression on book fans is similar to that of himself. He is a veteran of the big five and three rough. He is good at writing and martial arts, or maybe cold and taciturn, but he is definitely not someone who likes to tell stories in a child’s tone. Stupid man.

Although the themes of Yang Yi's recent two books have gradually darkened his image, they are still far from fairy tales.

As a result, Xixi's Bedtime Story was cold on the first day it was released. Thanks to the rich color illustrations, some children who accidentally got it were a little interested, so they reluctantly sold some.

At the end of the day, Sahara Publishing House statistics that the national sales are only a few thousand copies. Compared with the record-setting Bright Sword and Soldier Assault, this book is almost gone!

Fu Jun attaches great importance to Yang Yi's project of this fairy tale collection. Long before the listing, he, who is also a father, took a sample book back to show his son.

His son loves it!

Then his wife watched it with her son and actually liked it...

Later, when Fu Jun read it himself, he thought it was quite interesting, so he had inexplicable confidence in Yang Yi's book, and felt that this collection of fairy tales might be able to create miracles - after all, the audience spanned ages and genders. !

However, reality slapped him hard.

You haven't notified Yang Yi yet? Fu Jun asked Mr. Lu during the meeting.

Not yet, boss, do you want me to call Yang Yi now? Mr. Lu would be wrong.

No, no, don't tell him! Fu Jun waved his hand and said, I went to read the website to read, his new book Prison Break is really well written, although there are only two chapters, but I feel like a cat Scratching, I just want to know why this Michael didn't want to rob the bank, and even stole the money and didn't run away quickly, Momojiji was caught by the police!

I think there is a deep meaning in this. Mr. Lu also read it, and he has long become a loyal fan of Yang Yi.

But Fu Jun didn't want to talk to them about Prison Break, he knocked on the table and said, Prison Break did very well, and he surpassed Yu Sin on the day it was put on the shelves!

We have to reflect on ourselves. Is there something wrong with it? What did you sell such an interesting fairy tale book as Yang Yi? Is it the worst result in the history of the publishing house? Fu Jun hated the iron. Steel said.

The following department managers moved their mouths, but did not dare to say it: In the history of the publishing house, there is actually a worse one... that is an autobiography written by you smugly yourself, but not a few copies were sold at all.

Go back and think about it for me. What's not enough? Let me see how other people's children's books are doing publicity and sales activities! Give you a week, I want to see sales, sales! Fu Jun waved shouted with fists.

There is also an online bookstore. This book has also given me more publicity. I think that through online sales, more people will buy it...

No need to guess this, everyone should know the new maid, ahhh, who is the waiter?
