It is difficult for people who are not in the book field to understand why a book pre-sale of 200,000 copies will make major publishing companies very excited.

The pre-sale of some best-selling sequels has soared to one million copies, but the response has not been so strong.

When a top student scored 95 and scored 98, everyone probably had no extra emotions except to exclaim.

But when a poor student scored from 25 points to 75 points, and after completing the qualitative change, people will be amazed at it, and they will be curious about how it was done and have an invincible turnaround!

Similarly, the suspense mystery novel where "Suspect x" is located is such a poor student.

In the past, pre-sales that could only sell thousands or tens of thousands of copies, suddenly turned into more than 200,000 copies, no less than an atomic bomb explosion.

Is this result unexpected or inevitable? Is it possible for other mystery novels to copy the sales miracle of Qin Chuan's book?

All publishing companies want to study.

Although the company is different, the focus of publishing is also different.

Some are good at fantasy, some are good at chicken soup writing, and some are good at romance novels, but no one is willing to stick to the rules, but wants to be enterprising and pioneering.

Even in their editorial group, everyone was discussing this novel.

Li Taoqi of Haiou Publishing House asked: "You say Qin Chuan's book "Suspect x" sells well, is he writing it well, or is it popular?"

"I personally think that he is very popular. The readers don't see whether the book is well written, and they don't know whether it is not written. If you ask a bestseller to write a suspense mystery novel, the sales will definitely be better than those in the original category."

"I agree with Brother Kai's statement. But I want to add that it is not that the popularity is high, readers will buy it. Many best-selling writers rely on that book, a series to make a living, and publish a brand new work, which many readers will not buy."

"Yes, yes, yes. Qin Chuan is very popular, and readers also believe in his writing skills. He will still read after a 180-degree transformation. If he changes his personal writer and suddenly goes from fantasy fairy tale to suspense and reasoning, there are probably many people waiting and watching."

"A general succeeded and thousands of bones were bleak. His book "The Devotion of Suspect X" suddenly became popular. I guess many people who want to stand out think that it would be a little better in such an unpopular category. I don't know how many books will turn into a brick under the pyramid at that time."

These editors can see clearly.

If Qin Chuan's new book really becomes a signboard of classification, it is very likely to become a long-term sales work that stands tall.

So few works that followed the trend can emerge.

Even if they can see clearly, they will still cast a wide net.

What if I really caught a work that could be a little bit popular or even a big hit?

Who can say it correctly?

Compared with sales and achievements, Liu Wei, a veteran editor from Feihong Publishing Company, is more concerned about the plot of Qin Chuan's novel. He worked as an editor in unpopular categories at the beginning of his career, and now he has finally become a historical novel, but his interests and hobbies have not changed.

"In fact, Qin Chuan's book is different from traditional mystery novels. It has novelties, which also attracts readers. Many mystery novels have propaganda copywriting that an unsolvable murder occurred in a certain place, etc. Qin Chuan exposed the murderer to readers before the novel began. This innovation is very attractive."

Only then did the active members of the group turn their attention from Qin Chuan's popularity to specific works.

No one has read any text of "The Devotion of Suspect X", and even the editors of the open-book publishing company have just obtained the manuscript, and no one has bubbling at this moment.

"Yes, this is like many online novels, changing the soup but not changing the medicine. The form on the surface is innovative, but the core of the content is not different from the past. However, it is very unique and novel in front of readers, not like the group of charming sluts outside."

"Yes, I was also very curious at the beginning how to tell Qin Chuan's story, where is the suspense point, how to motivate the audience's appetite, etc. As a result, I thought about why I fell into the net woven by Qin Chuan without knowing it. This guy is really powerful, and the method of committing the crime has become the biggest doubt in this book. I want to buy a book to read it, but if I don't understand it, I'm really unwilling to give it up!"

"Don't forget that Qin Chuan started his career by playing with emotions. Emotion is a powerful tool in Qin Chuan's novels, and maybe this book can be distinguished from other works."

"Many people write mystery novels like science students doing math answers. Typically, they deduce them one by one according to formulas, appearing to be formatted and cold. Qin Chuan is very good at writing characters' feelings. Whether this book is abused or not, you can expect it."

"I vaguely guessed how Qin Chuan wanted to write it. Unlike most novels that guess who the murderer was, his novel asked readers to guess what method the protagonist Shi Shen used to create absent proofs, so as to help those who secretly love create absent proofs."

"Do you think Qin Chuan's book seems to be somewhat in line with the so-called expectation suspense?" The editor is a part-time film critic. "He writes it a bit like the idea proposed by suspense film master Hitchcock."

In layman's terms, there are two types of suspense settings, one is bursty suspense, and the other is expectation.

The two walked into a room and sat down to talk. A bomb under the table suddenly exploded!

This process provides readers and audiences with surprise, which is called a burst.

To change the angle, before entering the house, readers first saw a murderer entering the house and hiding the bomb under the table. Then the two of them walked into the house but found no bombs and still sat down to talk.

Then this process will attract readers' attention, and they will be worried about these two people and will be afraid of the bomb explosion.

Obviously, the latter's suspense setting is more advanced.

It tells readers the potential danger from the beginning, making readers worried about what will happen in the next second.

Judging from the pre-sale introduction of "Suspect x", it really conforms to the theory proposed by Hitchcock!

From the beginning, I told the readers the details of the whole matter. The readers were worried about when Shi Hong was exposed, worried about police officers, detectives who would find out the truth, etc.

In the eyes of many editors, since the protagonist is a mathematical genius who has never been seen in a century, he must be a high IQ, cold and elegant social elite, and he feels like a gentle and scum.

If you see the novel in the future, it will be really shocking!

"Even our old guys can't resist the attraction, let alone the rest."

"Yes, I'm going to buy a few books during the mid-year sale and add them to the shopping cart."

"What other good books do you have? I'll buy some books in a few days!"

Editors are all living beings. It is obvious that online bookstores are cheaper to hold big promotions, and no one is willing to spend money to buy them in offline bookstores.

If you have limited salary, you can save some money.
