"Thank you for your compliment, President Wu." When Shi Chuanfeng heard Wu Gang's praise, he was quite happy.
" Those Things in the Ming Dynasty " helped him complete a comeback and trample Yan Xiaokang under his feet.
Now, Yan Xiaokang did not dare to breathe loudly in the publishing firm. When he met Shi Chuanfeng, he always had a dark expression on his face and did not dare to speak much. This time, Yan Xiaokang had really fallen!
"This Li Chencan is really not simple! You have to rope him in. We have to confirm the copyrights of the next few chapters of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" with him as soon as possible.”"If necessary, we can give you more of our share."”
Shi Chuanfeng was slightly shocked. From Wu Gang's tone, it seemed like he really valued Li Chencan.
Thinking about it, it made sense. For an author who had created a new genre, sold so many books, and was so young, it would be unreasonable not to take him seriously.
Shi Chuanfeng also knew that he had to put the matter of meeting Li Chencan on the agenda as soon as possible! He wanted to buy the copyright of 'Those Things About the Ming Dynasty' as soon as possible.
"I understand." Shi Chuanfeng nodded at Wu Gang and said,"Then I'll go get busy now?"
Wu Gang was about to nod when he suddenly thought of something and said,"Such a good book is hard to come by. Next, we will launch a new round of publicity for this book, hoping to stimulate sales again! The current sales were not bad, but this book should not stop just because of this goal.”
Shi Chuanfeng understood very well…
Li Chencan's " Those Things About the Ming Dynasty " could be said to have created a genre. How could he give up on a book that created a genre so easily? All along, Hundred Flowers Publishing Firm had been planning to create an image of a place where a hundred flowers bloomed. It was an inclusive place. Now that they had " Those Matters of the Ming Dynasty ", they could use it to create a genre of books. If they hyped it up, not only would Li Chencan become popular, but Hundred Flowers Publishing Firm would also be able to establish its position as a publishing firm.
At this moment, the comments from the outside world came one after another.
The most famous forum for scholars in the empire was called Bean Net. Everyone liked to exchange their experiences and reviews on this website.
On the Bean Network, the Empire's book with the highest rating so far was 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. It had a rating of 9.6, 570,000 people had participated in the review, and there were 13,000 long comments.
After entering 2010, the book with the highest rating on Douren.com was called " The Secret Treasure of Dunhuang ". It had a rating of 8.9, with 30,000 people participating in the rating and more than 400 long reviews. In the past two years, Hundred Flowers Press had published a book with a total sales of 2.1 million copies. This book set was called " The Past of Sichuan and Yunnan ". It was a book that mixed romance and history. This book had a rating of 8.6 on Douren.com. 21,000 people participated in the review, and there were more than 380 long reviews in total.
Therefore, on a relatively authoritative book review website like the Bean Network, a book that could score above 7 points was considered a good book. A book that scored above 8 points was considered a good book, a book that scored above 8.5 points was considered a super good book, and a book that scored above 9 points was considered a classic!
In just five days,"Those Things About the Ming Dynasty 1" had already received a rating of 8.9. At the same time, 1500 people had participated in the review and there were 21 long reviews! However, this book had only been sold for five days!
Below the book were waves of good reviews.
"I've never had such a reading experience. After reading the ten lines, he turned around and read the ten lines again. This repeated. It was to control his speed. He wanted to extend the pleasure of reading to the longest possible time…The amazing author had used a wonderful method to describe the originally rigid history.”
"Originally, I never liked to read best-selling books. Even if it became as popular as 'Dunhuang Secrets', I was still not willing to read it. However,' Those Things in the Ming Dynasty'. That day, I picked up a book and flipped through it. After flipping through it, I stood there for a long time and resisted the urge to buy it. However, after fifteen minutes, you would see a girl walking quickly on the street, rushing into a bookstore, picking up the book, paying for it, and then leaving! And now, this girl had already read " Those Incidents of the Ming Dynasty " a second time and was even asking the author called Li Chencan why he didn't write the second book as soon as possible.”
" It's really refreshing to write history in such a way. There's no feeling of sensationalization at all. The author's words are concise and his style is experienced. Everything is written in a straightforward manner, and the baggage is not stiff at all! I was just thinking, if our middle school history textbooks are like this, then how high is the level of history of every Chinese person?”
"It's really a book that I can't put down after reading it. After reading it, I still ask myself, why is history so good? The only thing I can't accept now is that I've finished reading the first book. What about the second book?”
…With such good reviews,"Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty" would definitely become popular!
Because of this, Wu Gang had the confidence to expand the promotion of this book!
He had a hunch that " Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty " might even surpass the sales of " The Past of Sichuan and Yunnan " and become the top work of Chengdu Baihua Press.
The only fly in the ointment was that some of the more professional book reviewers did not publish articles praising " Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty." The first reason was that the book had only been on sale for five days, which was still a short period of time. The second reason was that " Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty " was popular, but this book was likely to cause controversy because the way this book wrote history was too novel. It was inevitable that it would cause controversy if it was too novel.
Some book reviewers did not want to be involved in the whirlpool of controversy, so they did not express their opinions for the time being.
But even if they didn't publish it," Those Incidents in the Ming Dynasty " would still continue to sold well across the country.
"Chencan,'Those Things About the Ming Dynasty' is doing very well now. I'll try my best to send you the data.”Shi Chuanfeng specially called Li Chencan and said,"However, Chencan, for the second part of 'Those Things About the Ming Dynasty', you should find some time to come over and have a chat.”
Li Chencan pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, then said,""I'm sorry, Chief Editor Shi. I'm a little busy these two days, so I'll put this matter on hold for the time being. Let's talk again in two days when I'm free, okay?”
"Hmm?" Shi Chuanfeng was a little anxious. Could it be that this kid had started talking to other publishing firms? Otherwise, why would he say that?
"Chencan, are there other publishing firms contacting you?" Shi Chuanfeng quickly asked.”
Li Chencan could not help but laugh." No, Chief Editor Shi, don't worry. It's not like that. I've been really busy recently…"
Li Chencan was indeed very busy because his two songs had also started to hit the charts!
