Chapter 356 Until the sea turns blue
"ABC Murder" had a lot of heat before it was officially published.
On the one hand, it is due to the word-of-mouth influence of the previous work of the series "Roger's Mystery". On the other hand, it is due to the coincidence that Jiang Yuan and Tang Lan reposted the popular search, which is an extremely brilliant marketing hype, which made this book a big hit. lap once.
Before the novel was released, a group of readers got the trial version in advance, and many high-quality book reviews have appeared on the Internet for this new book in Amway.
With word-of-mouth and popularity flying together, on the day it was officially released, the title of "ABC Murder" directly parachuted into the hot search list, causing a lot of heated discussions.
[The novel that both Jiang Yuan and Tang Lan like is on the market! 】
【Is this novel good?Why is it suddenly on the trending search? 】
[If you have read "Roger's Mystery", you probably won't ask this question!The new work of the Poirot series, just rush and finish! 】
【@姜元, have you read it? 】
[I want to see Jiang Yuan and Tang Lan's feelings after studying, hahaha! 】
[I am standing guard on the square, don't let me see spoilers! 】
[A rookie author who debuted for more than a year, is the marketing so fierce? 】
[Really no marketing, information cocoon room, right? The first two reasoning works exploded like that, and it is estimated that there will be many nominations for awards next year. Is the popularity of the new book normal? 】
There are all kinds of discussions on the hot search square, but in any case, the popularity has indeed risen, especially on the first day of the new book's release, which is very beneficial to the increase in sales.
Compared with traditional social platforms, discussions in reasoning forums are much purer.
Although there are a lot of forum members, they are not very active in normal times. There may be hundreds of posts in a day.
But on the day that "ABC Murder" was launched, it was considered a complete revitalization of the forum's traffic.
In the morning, hundreds of related posts have been added.
There are those who recommend Amway, those who ask about word of mouth, discuss the plot, post orders, go to the bookstore to buy books, and those who did not buy the book in the bookstore, etc. There are all kinds of posts.
Although "ABC Murder" started pre-sale before it went on the market, it didn't officially start distribution until the day it went on the market.
Even readers who are very close to the warehouse can only be guaranteed to receive the express delivery on the day of listing.
Therefore, more readers who want to read books in advance choose to go to offline bookstores to buy books in advance.
Blue Star in the parallel world, the bookstore industry is still relatively prosperous. Some chain bookstores of big brands, in addition to Wenchuang Coffee, also sell albums.
Moreover, some popular new books and new albums will specially produce corresponding special editions and give them in limited quantities, and some bookstores will design exclusive versions for bookstores, which attract traffic to bookstores.
Coupled with the fact that most of Bluestar’s publications implement e-commerce platform price control, while offline bookstores reduce the cost of purchasing goods, they will also discount certain books based on book prices.
Therefore, readers who visit bookstores on weekdays will basically bring a few books with them before leaving.
This time "ABC Murder" is on the market, and major bookstores have also cooperated with Wenku to produce a lot of peripherals and activities.
For example, one of the bookstore activities, inspired by the notice letter in the novel, planned a corresponding puzzle game. Only readers who successfully solve the puzzle can get the surrounding special coupons, which greatly increases the interaction with readers.
Chen Su also came to the bookstore near his home on this day.
Seeing the scene in the bookstore is also a little emotional. Although it is a weekend, the flow of people in the bookstore is obviously much more than usual.
The reason is also very clear. Chen Su saw the display board outside the bookstore, which was Poirot's one-to-one standing board.
The slogan on the side is also very conspicuous - "International Mystery Rising Star Album, the new Poirot series "ABC Murder" is launched."
Below the slogan is the description of the corresponding activities in the store.
Chen Su stood at the door and looked at it, and couldn't help feeling envious.
No writer wants to have this kind of publicity.
At the same time, Chen Su couldn't help but think back to the fantasy starlight cup gold medal he finally won last year. Compared with it now, he always feels lonely.
But Chen Su also thought about it very quickly. When the author of the album becomes more and more popular in the future, he can mention the Starlight Cup when he goes out at that time, and say that he is the gold medal of the year.
Thinking so, Chen Su walked into the shop.
He had already read the trial copy he had received before, and it still amazed him just like the previous one, and he is now planning to buy a new one for his collection.
The new book was placed in the most conspicuous position, and Chen Su's envy rose again when he approached.
The pile of books that should have been piled up high and high has been sold to the last ten or so books left.
Large bookstores have enough stock for this kind of best-selling book. Even with the bonus of special ceremony, if it can sell like this, basically the number of book fans must not be small.
Chen Su took a copy and went to the cashier to pay the bill, and the feature of direct gift has been sold out.
However, there are still special codes for the puzzle-solving event, but Chen Su refused and did not intend to participate.
He just showed the rules of the event at the door of the store. Readers participating in the event need to give answers within 3 minutes without relying on others or the Internet.
Chen Su didn't have much confidence in his reasoning ability, so he chose to give up, but there were quite a few readers in the store who were trying.
Such scenes are staged in multiple bookstores of the same brand.
However, some bookstores in small counties did not purchase much, and they were already sold out, and even the trial books were sold out.
For a moment, the popularity of "ABC Murder" was like a scene that had just been filmed on the monitor.
At this time, Jiang Yuan was confirming the effect of the shooting just now. If the effect was not good, he had to do it again.
I didn't feel anything during the shooting, but when I looked back at the shooting content, I felt a little embarrassed for the two of them.
The picture and the sound match, it is indeed a little too ambiguous.
Wang Xicun blushed slightly after appreciating this passage.
It's not entirely because of embarrassment. If he was alone, Wang Xicun might watch it repeatedly.
But now Jiang Yuan is on the side, and He Jing is still sending out various comments on where the kiss is good, how to put in, how to add points for small details, etc.
Listening to such comments and looking at the screen again, it would indeed be a little embarrassing, and Jiang Yuan was also embarrassed.
Fortunately, after watching it once, He Jing clapped his hands and said affirmatively, "It's great, this segment is perfect, let's stop here for the daytime shooting!"
After finishing speaking, he left the room with the photographer, leaving Jiang Yuan and the two of them staring wide-eyed together.
Outside the door, after Xia Chunhua saw He Jing appearing, she stepped forward to watch the footage shot by the two of them.
He Jing was also familiar with Xia Chunhua, so he showed it directly.
What Xia Chunhua saw first was the previous version with guidance. He Jing's narration gave Xia Chunhua a little more comfort. At least the material alone still has a filming atmosphere.
"Is this the finished film?" Xia Chunhua asked curiously after watching this paragraph, after all, the two of them ended up acting funny the first time.
He Jing thought for two seconds, then nodded affirmatively, "Yes, the MV only takes ten seconds!"
Xia Chunhua nodded, while He Jing was lost in thought, thinking about how to edit.
After all, the content of that minute or so was very good in He Jing's opinion.
While He Jing was communicating with Xia Chunhua, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yuan were left in the room looking at each other.
For some reason, He Jing took the door behind him when he went out.
As soon as the person left, the air in the room seemed to become delicate.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but linger on Wang Xicun's pink lips for a moment, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
"What are you thinking?" Wang Xicun asked softly, looking at each other.
"The lipstick seems to have lost some color, not very evenly." Jiang Yuan replied in a low voice.
Wang Xicun also took a look at Jiang Yuan's lips, some lipstick was unevenly stained on it.
So he pursed his lips and said, "You too."
After speaking, the feeling just now also emerged in my mind.
In such a situation, when the eyes look at each other, it seems that travelers in the desert see an oasis, and there is some invisible gravitational force that attracts each other.
Like a cluster of small flames fell on the fuse.
The cruise ship sailed on the sea, and the ocean seemed to turn pink.
The fragrance of strawberry lipstick, the light in the hair, my mind gradually goes blank.
Until it's hard to breathe, until the color of the lips is even, until the water turns blue
Five minutes later, Jiang Yuan and the two opened the door, just as Xia Chunhua asked why He Jing and the two hadn't come out yet.
"We were chatting just now." He Jing nodded in the direction of the two of them.
Xia Chunhua turned her head, glanced suspiciously, and continued talking to He Jing.
On the deck, Jiang Yuan and Wang Xicun leaned against the railing, gradually calmed down under the sea breeze.
Jiang Yuan took a short moment to let go and began to think.
Although I have kissed before, whether there is a camera or not is obviously a different matter.
At the same time, the scumbag's principles began to emerge in his mind, no, the scumbag has no principles.
But theory is one thing, Jiang Yuan feels that he has not reached this point yet, he has principles.
So he hesitated and said, "Just now."
Wang Xicun blinked his eyes when he heard the words, but calmed down a little faster than Jiang Yuan, "After you think clearly, don't take the lead for a while, just think it's just filming for the time being."
In Wang Xicun's view, the last time he fell in love was the product of some kind of impulse.
The past has proved that such a love is immature and difficult to last, and she does not want to continue to repeat the same mistakes.
But when he mentioned just now, Wang Xicun's face turned slightly red, and a subtle sense of tension lingered in his heart.
Jiang Yuan was interrupted, she was dazed for a while, and just about to say something, Lu Qing came over from afar.
"I heard that you two finished filming, do you want to play mahjong together?" Lu Qing asked.
Today, in addition to filming the MV, it can also be regarded as a team building for Jiang Yuan's studio.
Lu Qing just finished a tour, and was called here when he was free.
Faced with the invitation to play mahjong, Wang Xicun readily agreed to take Jiang Yuan along.
Besides Lu Qing, the other person was Deng Ge, and the four gathered at a table.
When the mahjong started, Jiang Yuan's attention was instantly diverted, and they temporarily forgot what happened just now, or it was automatically saved.
Although Jiang Yuan doesn't play mahjong many times in real life, he often plays mahjong games on his mobile phone.
So under the guidance of the three of them, I got started quickly and experienced the fun of mahjong.
The daytime passed by so quickly.
Unknowingly, the sunset glowed all over the sky.
Jiang Yuan took out the camera to take a few pictures, recorded it, and then the night fell completely.
The arrival of night is the official start of this team building.
During the day, it is more for everyone's self-entertainment, and at night, a special dinner is prepared.
However, during the dinner, Jiang Yuan and others also shot a short piece of material first, and then devoted themselves to the dinner.
After the dinner, there will be the last relatively long scene, the cruise ship dance.
Orchestra members played music, and couples of male and female dancers danced to the music.
The most central position was vacated.
The seat was set up, and Jiang Yuan held out his hand to Wang Xicun who was wearing a formal dress.
Regarding the design of this section, He Jing's idea is that the two dance directly and completely, and then he edits it into the MV.
As the music played, Jiang Yuan took Wang Xicun's hand and started dancing with his arms around his waist.
With the blessing of balance skills, Jiang Yuan learned this dance very quickly.
Although Wang Xicun is not very proficient in dancing, he can keep up with the rhythm under the leadership of Jiang Yuan.
Unskilled in step-by-step, and just in line with the setting in the MV.
Between dances, fireworks explode over the sea.
Dazzling, just like Jiang Yuan and Wang Xicun under the lights.
Many staff members at the scene couldn't help being intoxicated watching such a scene.
It's too much an idol drama plot.
The camera faithfully recorded all this, which made He Jing very satisfied.
The dance is over, and the MV is officially finished.
Over the past few days, He Jing has been filming this MV, regardless of the basics, how romantic it is.
A complete idol drama, like directing a complete love process, it is very enjoyable.
After the MV was officially wrapped, the dance continued, which was to some extent a celebration of the MV's wrapping up.
At the same time, due to the time difference, the English version of "ABC Murder" was published ten hours later than the domestic one.
Compared with the large-scale domestic propaganda, the scale of foreign propaganda is still smaller.
There are only some endorsements and publications by authors from the same publishing house, and the word-of-mouth fermentation caused by the tap water of some reasoning enthusiasts.
But even so, "ABC Murder" was successfully listed on the top search on the book-buying platform on the day it was released.
Some important offline bookstores have also hung up promotional posters and placed new books in prominent positions.
At the same time, in the same way as the previous "Roger's Mystery" promotion method, flash mob activities were also arranged in several bookstores with relatively central locations.
Carl, who is also a reasoning writer, also took out the physical book of "ABC Murder" on this day.
Although he had recommended it on the Internet before, he hadn't actually started reading it because he was busy writing new books a while ago.
To some extent, it can be said that it inspired a certain amount of inspiration through "Roger's Mystery".
So after getting the advertisement, Carl immediately found out the book, opened the title page, and was quickly attracted by the independent chapter description at the beginning.
