There will definitely be a positive impact on the sales of "Three-Body Civilization".
Moreover, after winning an international award, "Three-Body Civilization" will definitely be translated into multiple languages and sold abroad!
Science fiction novels going global!
You could say it’s quite a major achievement!
At this moment, everyone finally understood why Cao Zizhou voluntarily relinquished his position.
Because this time Chen Min made the right bet!
If it hadn’t been for her, as the chief editor, resisting all dissenting voices and steadfastly cooperating with Shen Qiushan, the publishing rights for "Three-Body Civilization" might not have landed with any particular publisher.
And judging from the current situation, no matter which publisher Shen Qiushan chooses to work with, they would make a fortune!
Zhou Gang only felt his throat dry and his mind blank.
Nebula Award?
"Three-Body Civilization" actually won the Nebula Award??
This is too unbelievable!
The Nebula Award, which is such a prestigious award, was won just like that!!
Isn’t Shen Qiushan just someone who started by writing internet novels? How could he have such talent!!
Zhou Gang was simply incredulous.
Mainly because he didn’t want to believe it.
Because if "Three-Body Civilization" actually won the Nebula Award, wouldn’t it be a slap in his face!
Previously, he had always opposed Chen Min and Shen Qiushan’s collaboration.
And the reason the publishing progress of "Three-Body Civilization" was relatively slow was also partly due to his secret interventions!
In recent meetings, he would always attack Chen Min for signing "Three-Body Civilization".
In Zhou Gang’s view, signing a science fiction novel was definitely the most foolish decision!
As a result, he never expected!
"Three-Body Civilization" actually won an award!
And it’s the highest award in the science fiction field, the Nebula Award!
"Chief Editor Chen, is this news accurate?"
"Isn’t it just a rumor?"
Zhou Gang wasn’t willing to admit defeat just like that, he asked with furrowed brow.
"Vice Editor-in-Chief Zhou, are you joking with me?"
"Would such news be just a rumor?"
"The Nebula Award was announced early this morning, and the committee has already emailed the winning notification to our publisher."
"And yet you’re saying this news is fake?"
Chen Min coldly glanced at Zhou Gang, she’d been waiting for Zhou Gang to speak.
Recently, Zhou Gang had been targeting her incessantly, even resorting to vile tactics like spreading rumors!
Chen Min is not someone to be trifled with!
To reach the position of chief editor at the publisher, she fought fiercely from the bottom up; if given the chance to retaliate, she would never hesitate!
"By the way, there’s another good news for Vice Editor-in-Chief Zhou."
"The supposedly vulgar and low-class internet novelist Shen Qiushan has also won the Best New Science Fiction Author Award!"
"I think Vice Editor-in-Chief Zhou needs to improve his professional skills, as someone who can win the Nebula Award for Best New Science Fiction Author is seen as vulgar and low-class in the eyes of Vice Editor-in-Chief Zhou, no wonder the books Vice Editor-in-Chief Zhou is managing have unsatisfactory sales..."
Chen Min directly took on the stance of kicking a man when he’s down.
Time was, Cao Zizhou would try to mediate, but today he just watched coldly without saying a word.
Zhou Gang was left speechless.
His old face turned red, and then slowly turned into a pig liver color!
Chen Min, feeling good after venting her frustrations, had all her accumulated gloom washed away in one burst.
She felt a sense of exhilaration.
She cleared her throat and continued, "The award for ’Three-Body Civilization’ is a major positive for our publisher."
"Previously, I estimated that the sales of ’Three-Body Civilization’ might not exceed 100,000 copies, but now I believe exceeding 100,000 copies is a sure thing!"
"Therefore, our next focus is to expedite the launch and sale of ’Three-Body Civilization’!"
"Manager Zhang, contact the distributors on the online sales platform and initiate pre-sales immediately!"
"Manager Wu, put some effort into marketing; we can’t miss this trending topic..."
Chen Min methodically arranged the related tasks.
And this time, Zhou Gang didn’t utter a single wasted word; being a seasoned veteran, he knew that anything he said now would be useless. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
If you’re defeated, you have to accept it.
If you’re hit, you must stand straight!
He, as a veteran, still understood this, knowing there was no way to shake Chen Min’s position at this moment.
So if he wants to continue to work at the publisher, he must repair their relationship.
Editorial Department of the Sanjiang Evening News.
Wang Zhixin had just published a video on his Kuaiyin account criticizing Shen Qiushan.
Making 10 million by writing internet novels had once again made Shen Qiushan the focus of public opinion.
And his "bad reputation novel" had a huge controversy online, with a lot of criticism.
This provided Wang Zhixin, a senior "Shen Hei", with an opportunity to reminisce about his career, and in the past half month, he had been posting a critical or mocking video about Shen Qiushan almost daily.
This had become his formula for gaining traffic!
The supporters of his videos were indeed numerous, roughly divided into two types: those with severe resentment against the wealthy.
They’re intolerant of Shen Qiushan earning 10 million from internet novels!
They wish relevant departments would hurry up and ban his lousy novel!
And then he would spit out the 10 million he made from selling rights!
The other type are "pure love warriors," who cannot accept the male protagonist of Shen Qiushan’s novel being a playboy.
They feel such work shouldn’t exist!
As an experienced journalist, Wang Zhixin deeply understands what netizens want to see, so every time he speaks, he can precisely capture the psychology of these two types of people, thereby gaining the traffic they bring.
