Inside Xinhua Bookstore.
In addition to the shopkeeper Yu Qing, there were two other servants who were sweating profusely from their work. Liang Cong and Zhao Lingshuang also went over to help.
As for Xu Ning, he was sitting behind the counter drinking tea. As the boss behind the scenes, he didn't need to come forward for this kind of thing.
People who bought the book couldn't wait to read it.
"The writing is really great. This is better than Wu Tinglian."
"Not only does it look good, it's simply crushing!"
"The characters in this book are so lifelike, the writing is so delicate, and the sense of immersion is so strong. How could there be such a beautiful book in this world?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu It's so touching. This is what we women pursue. We don't want matchmakers, we don't want marriages for profit, we want to pursue our own true love."
"Zhu Yingtai is so brave, turning into a butterfly with the one she loves, so romantic!"
"..."
The voices of these people spread out through the loudspeaker. The people who were originally queuing in front of Xue's house could not hear what these people were saying. After all, there was still music.
But with a loudspeaker, you can hear it.
Those who were still waiting in line were stunned. Is it more beautiful than Wu Tinglian? real or fake.
Originally, these people had the urge to go over and watch the excitement, but because they had been waiting in line for so long, if they left at this time, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
But now that I heard those people's words, I couldn't help it anymore.
Anyway, the Xue family just said that Wu Ting Lovers can be purchased by everyone. It’s not too late to go and see what’s going on at Xinhua Bookstore before coming back to buy it.
When I thought of this, another large number of people rushed to Xinhua Bookstore.
People have a herd mentality, and more and more people went to Xinhua Bookstore. In the end, no one queued up at the six Xue family bookstores, and they all went to Xinhua Bookstore.
Listening to the music and looking at the banners is such a joy.
Especially after reading this book, and then listening to this music, I suddenly had a different feeling, and I was able to bring myself into it better.
Those who came later started lining up after questioning in detail those who had bought the books.
Fortunately, Xu Ning opened up the three bookstores, otherwise it would not be able to cope with so many people.
The shopkeeper and the waiters at Xue Family Bookstore were stunned at this time. They bought more than a hundred volumes, but they all ran away.
There was a long queue outside Xinhua Bookstore.
"Something is going to happen. Where is Mr. Xue? Go and call Mr. Xue back." The shopkeeper of Zixuan Book Shop turned pale. This time, the Xue family spent a lot of money to monopolize all the book engraving workshops. So far, they have carved dozens of books. Ten thousand volumes came out.
And those book engraving workshops are still working overtime to engrave. According to Xue Zixuan's estimate, this new book will sell at least two million copies.
Just the cost of engraving the book cost a lot of money, not to mention the early publicity and momentum building. In total, it probably cost one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If the book cannot be sold and is lost, it will be a huge loss.
"Shopkeeper Tong, Mr. Xue was called away by Li Wu just now. I don't know where he went?" a boy replied.
"This is how to do?"
Shopkeeper Tong was a little anxious. It was Xue Zixuan who came forward to negotiate with the engraving workshop. Now that he, the shopkeeper, has asked him not to do the printing, those workshops will not listen to him.
…
Butterfly Lovers was completely on fire.
Yu Qing knew that the content of "Butterfly Lovers" would definitely be popular, but he did not expect it to be so popular.
All the people who were queuing up at Xuejia Bookshop came here.
I couldn't help but admire Xu Ning very much. The music and banners were absolutely a killer, attracting so many people in an instant.
Of course, the most important thing is the story of Butterfly Lovers. What makes these people stay and buy books is because the story is good.
Seeing these people buying like crazy with their money, Yu Qing felt as if he had been given a shot of blood.
He has been suppressed by Xuejia Bookstore for a long time, and now he has finally turned around.
Thanks to Xue Zixuan's early momentum, so many people came to line up at Xue Family Bookstore today. Xu Ning took advantage of Xue Zixuan's popularity and used modern means to attract the attention.
This simply detonated the entire Gyeongju cultural circle.
Yu Qing could foresee that in the near future, when those literati gather together, the first question they will ask will definitely be "Have you watched Butterfly Lovers today?"
If I haven’t read this book, I would be embarrassed to say hello to others when I go out.
Yu Qing didn't know how many copies he sold on this day. He only knew that he was being lenient in collecting money. On this day, he didn't even bother to eat.
Later, Xu Ning also came to help, and even went to the dental shop to hire more than ten clerks. Twenty people were selling at the same time, which made it a little less tiring.
In the evening, hundreds of maids and hundreds of people from more than a dozen brothels in Gyeongju came. They actually came to find out who composed the song Butterfly Lovers.
Of course, asking around is definitely not in vain. You must buy books, which is another wave of income.
The girls in the brothel all fell in love with this piece of music. It was simply a divine piece of music. I thought that whoever could make this piece of music would definitely be able to make other divine pieces of music.
If you can write a song for them and play it when guests come, you can definitely make a lot of money.
…
Yihong Building.
Xue Zixuan was drinking wine and eating vegetables in Liandie's courtyard. Liandie was dancing not far away, which made Xue Zixuan feel that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Liandie's reputation is still very high among the brothels, especially her dancing postures which are very graceful and can stir people's hearts when she dances.
Usually it costs money to watch Liandie dance, but today it is free.
In addition to Xue Zixuan, there were three men in the small courtyard. These three people were all people who had followed Xue Zixuan to the book engraving workshop before, and Li Kun was among them.
Liandie took the initiative to invite, which made Xue Zixuan feel very proud, so he invited these three people to come together for no other purpose than to listen to their compliments.
Today, his book is selling like hotcakes, which will definitely make the entire literary circle popular. By then, he will be the representative of the Gyeongju literary circle.
His reputation will be greatly improved, and I am afraid it will reach the ears of the empress. With this influence, he cannot be appointed as a high-ranking official.
He is a civil servant, and his uncle is a county magistrate. With some operation, he can actually become an official.
Originally he was about to take office, but as a result, "Three Lives" became popular and made him famous in the Gyeongju literati circle. Xue Zixuan became a little confused.
He felt that the official position given to him by his uncle was too small and he didn't want to do it anymore, so he thought about it at home for a year and wrote "Wu Ting Lian". He thought that this book would become a big hit. The empress valued literati, and she was so popular that she couldn't give it to a high-ranking official. Lu.
Judging from the queue today, it’s hard not to be popular.
Li Kun and others also tried their best to flatter Xue Zixuan, making Xue Zixuan feel unprecedentedly satisfied. With a beauty like Liandie dancing for him, I'm afraid he can be a guest tonight.
Thinking of Liandie's enchanting and graceful figure, Xue Zixuan felt that his blood was burning.
It’s great to be famous!
