When Girls' Generation was still in Japan to rehearse and prepare to record the FNS song festival, Huo Yaowen's latest masterpiece "Antarctic Love: Meet at the End of the World" was finally published on December 15 after half a month of publicity.

This time, it was not only published in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan at the same time, but also expanded to almost half of Asia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand...... All publishing houses that have cooperated with Yaowen Publishing Company will publish together on December 15th, aiming to sell more than one million copies on the first day!

In order to achieve the goal of selling more than one million copies on the first day, Yao Wenjie also worked hard for two months, not only cooperating with publishing houses in various countries, but also spending a lot of energy on publicity in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Before a book was sold, it spent almost more than one million Hong Kong dollars in publicity expenses, which is equivalent to spending an investment in a "Zombie Taoist".

Although a lot of money was spent, the publicity effect was also excellent, and all bookstores and newsstands in Hong Kong hung a propaganda poster.

In the icy South Pole, two men and women in down jackets with their backs to people are sitting side by side on the ground, looking at the colorful aurora in the sky.

Next to it is written a few words "Antarctic Love: Meeting at the End of the World".

At the beginning of the promotion, the citizens passing by were very surprised to see this poster, curious about what it was about, and most people thought that it was a promotional poster for a movie.

But it wasn't until the newspapers and magazines promoted it that everyone woke up to the fact that this was Huo Yaowen's new book!

……

Huo Yaowen, who has not been a romance writer for several years, published a new book that was welcomed by many readers, and on December 15, once it went on sale, it sold an astonishing 100,000 copies in Hong Kong alone!

This figure not only greatly surpassed Huo Yaowen's previous romances, but also became his best-selling book on the first day in Hong Kong.

sold 100,000 copies, among which in addition to Huo Yaowen's loyal readers and book fans, many of them were readers from the last book "Floating Like a Dream" essay.

The big sales here in Hong Kong seem to have also affected the Taiwan market, which can be said to be the base camp of Hong Kong and Taiwan romance, and it is also the area with the largest sales of Huo Yaowen's romance letters.

On the eve of publication, Aoki Press printed a total of 300,000 copies.

I originally thought that this was the limit of this book, but I never thought that on the first day of publication and sales, more than 200,000 copies were sold, and those bookstore owners and newsstand owners who were excited to make money almost emptied the inventory in the warehouse.

In Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, "Antarctic Love" has also created one sales myth after another, with a total sales of 180,000 copies on the first day, and Singapore, a country with a small population, has sold almost more than 50,000 copies.

Sales in South Korea were also good, with almost 60,000 copies sold on the first day.

The sales volume of these countries and regions, basically on the eve of publication, has a rough estimate, and the actual number of copies sold is about the same, but the most unexpected thing for Huo Yaowen is the Japanese market.

Before it was published, some bookstores and newsstands ordered almost 200,000 copies, and on the day it was actually released, it sold an astonishing sales of more than 400,000 copies, which is better than the sales of Huo Yaowen's best-selling science fiction book "1999"!

……

The next day, December 16, Yao Wenjie walked anxiously back and forth in the company, waiting for the people below to report on the sales of various countries, hoping that the book would exceed one million copies.

"Editor-in-chief!"

The employees outside knocked on the office door excitedly, ran in and shouted excitedly: "Editor-in-chief, it's broken, it's a million copies!"

"Really!" Hearing the good news, Yao Wenjie stood up suddenly.

The employee nodded desperately and said, "It's the real editor-in-chief, we have calculated the sales volume just sent by the cooperative publishing company, and a total of 1.18 million copies were sold yesterday!"

"1.18 million copies, hahaha, good!"

Hearing that not only one million copies were sold, but also a full 180,000 copies were added, Yao Wenjie laughed excitedly, "Quick, notify the newspaper, let them hurry up and write an article and publish it in the newspaper tomorrow!"

"Yes!" the employee hurriedly ran out to contact several newspapers that had been working with him.

After the person left, Yao Wenjie was still walking back and forth in the office excitedly, and after that, he remembered to notify the boss and immediately called.

"Good news for the general manager, "Antarctic Love" sold a total of 1.18 million copies yesterday!"

"Really? That's good news. Huo Yaowen was inexplicably relieved when he heard Yao Wenjie's voice in the microphone, don't look at the record that he didn't care about selling one million copies a day at the beginning, but Yao Wenjie has been busy with this matter, and even Huo Yaowen became nervous.

So when he learned that he had really sold more than one million books in one day, Huo Yaowen was still very happy, and after a few more greetings with Yao Wenjie, he hung up the phone and laughed alone.

At this time, Anna pushed open the door of the study, walked in and asked in surprise, "Why are you so happy?" ”

Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Just now the company called and said that "Antarctic Love" sold a total of 1.18 million copies yesterday. ”

"Really!"

Anna looked at Huo Yaowen with a happy face, "Congratulations, dear." ”

……

With the news report that "Antarctic Love" sold one million copies in one day, it instantly became a sensation in Hong Kong!

Don't look at Huo Yaowen's highest-selling "1999", which has sold nearly 30 million copies worldwide, but these are the results of years of accumulation, and this "Antarctic Love" is different, selling one million copies a day, although there is a possibility of overdraft in advance, but it can't stand the sales sold in one day!

Many writers who knew Huo Yaowen called to congratulate him, and some people praised the book directly in the newspaper.

Gu Long was the first person to write an article in the newspaper to praise this book, he said that Huo Yaowen's idea of this book of Antarctic Love was all because of a drinking game, everyone was drunk that day, and suddenly it was pulled to Antarctica, Huo Yaowen was drunk and casually created this love story.

After a whole article, the content of the book Antarctic Love can be said to be very few, and it is more about the interesting story of a few people drinking.

Not to mention, just these interesting facts made the daily sales of "Oriental Daily" sell a little more that day.

After all, interesting things between celebrities are often things that many citizens like to see, especially Huo Yaowen, although he is very famous and well-known, he rarely appears in the public's field of vision, which also causes everyone to pay attention to his personal life, from the earliest time when Zhang Wanjun was mistaken for a couple, to the sudden marriage later, which caused a certain degree of sensation.

If Gu Long is purely to blow water and fart in the newspaper and mix up the manuscript fee, then Yishu, who is Huo Yaowen's most loyal reader, is much more conscientious.

The article written for the pictorial "Liangyou" not only touched many people deeply, but also attracted many readers who had not yet bought the book to buy this new work by Huo Yaowen.

"The Story of Meeting at the End of the World":

"I have always liked Mr. Huo's romances, from the earliest "Sweet Honey" to the current "Antarctic Love". A few days ago, when I received this copy of "Antarctic Love", it took me all night to read it.

After reading the whole book, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and I finally understood why this book has a suffix 'meet at the end of the world'.

There may be many people who think that this suffix title comes from the fact that this relationship took place in Antarctica. I think there may be this part of the consideration, but in my opinion, this suffix title is more about explaining this relationship.

The background of the book is that the male protagonist of the book is a photographer whose dream is to take a photo of the Antarctic Aurora for an international photography award, and our heroine is a person who has been inspired to be an Antarctic expedition since childhood.

Professionally, there is almost no possibility of communication between the two, but because of this special place in Antarctica, two strangers met.

Before the two broke away from the scientific expedition team due to the snowstorm, the hero and heroine barely communicated much, just a simple daily greeting.

Until the two of them were in the storm of ice and snow, struggling to breathe and rely on each other for their lives, two men and women with different ideals, different fates and different occupations had a deep communication.

From the beginning of the quarrel in order to find the direction to return to the base, and then to the dispute between the male protagonist who wants to slaughter the penguin to fill his stomach, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is not very good.

It wasn't until the heroine contracted the wind and cold that their relationship gradually eased a lot.

Perhaps, in someone else's book, this is the trigger point of the relationship between the two. But in Huo Yaowen's pen, we can see that even at the end, the two of them are still arguing over some trivial things.

At this point, I still wonder if this is a love story or a survival story.

It wasn't until I finished reading the ending that I saw the hero and heroine lying on the snow, looking at the Antarctic aurora in the sky, and the sound of whales chirping in the distance, that I realized that these two people did not have real love from beginning to end, but only produced a kind of affection, an ambiguous feeling under love.

Someone will ask, why write like that.

In my opinion, the ambiguous feelings between the hero and heroine are very consistent with the special geographical location and story background of Antarctica.

There are very few stories of love at first sight in reality, but often this kind of dependence on each other, it seems that only each other's ambiguous feelings will be a little more.

This is very different from the current romance at first sight, life and death......

In this special place in Antarctica, two special people, in order to live and survive, meet together, and meet at the end of the world, maybe it is just an encounter.

Perhaps this is the real core of this book, which tells a not-so-wonderful, but very romantic, story about the budding love between men and women. ”
