158. Ride the wind
Boosted by Zhang Fei's remake of "Hero", the novel's sales are soaring.
Yesterday's single-day sales not only broke the previous single-day sales record of 94111 for "Hero", but also broke the record of "Pingxia Film" that had just been held for a short time, directly breaking through 110,000 copies, far away from the 100032 copies of "Pingxia Film", and increasing the single-day sales record of martial arts novels by nearly 10,000 copies in one go.
Tang Shuang originally thought that what could break the record of "Ping's Tracer Film" should be Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but he didn't expect it to be his own "Hero".
And according to the current trend, 110,000 copies is not its limit, as the film publicity increases, it will continue to attract the attention of the whole people, in the long time of the filming, many people will buy the novel of "Hero" in order to see it.
This is also the confidence of Shengjing Publishing House to dare to print 1 million copies at one time.
"Hero" has set a single-day sales record, but in terms of single-week sales, it is still behind "Ping's Tracer Film" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Huaxia Bookstore announced the book sales list last week, and "Pingxia Film" ranked first, with 500021 copies sold, breaking the record of "The History of Martial Arts".
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which ranked second, sold 449,030 copies, and "Heroes", which ranked third, sold 448,780 copies, which was almost catching up.
This is because "Hero" has not yet experienced a full sales week after the announcement of the film news.
It is conceivable that in the second week, with the current momentum of "Hero", the top position of the list is basically not his thoughts, and Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong have to stand aside.
A novel that served as a foil at the book signing, but in that batch of published books, it broke out of the encirclement and was about to take the lead, which surprised everyone, including Tang Shuang himself.
"Hero" not only has the popularity of the film news, but also Huaxia Bookstore is increasing its efforts to promote it, in the past, the book was just placed in an inconspicuous position, but now, Huaxia Bookstore has required each branch to put "Hero" in the most conspicuous place, so that now book fans can see "Hero" when they walk into Huaxia Bookstore, and they can see "Hero" when they enter the door, and the traffic and attention they have received have soared, driving the attention of the media and book fans to the author of the novel.
The three swords of the Imperial Guards have become the rising writers of a new generation.
Tang Shuang's photos at the signing were turned out by book lovers and spread faster on forums, Weibo, WeChat Moments and other networks.
This is an era of looking at faces, if you have both talent and good looks, then it is the same as opening a hanging, and writers can become idol powerhouses like stars.
Tang Shuang has been classified into this faction, and his fans have grown dramatically, more than sixty percent of them are female fans, these people are not necessarily interested in martial arts, but they are interested in the author.
Books are to Tang Shuang, just like famous watches are to men, women will first feel attractive when they see men with famous watches, because this represents identity and status, in the same way, it doesn't matter whether these female fans like the "Hero" novel or not, the book represents Tang Shuang's talent, identity and status, just like a famous watch.
The writer has become a halo on Tang Shuang's head, others can not like it, but there is no way not to care.
The fan tide about Tang Shuang on the Internet is still in the brewing process and has not broken out for the time being, but the paper media has already felt the signs, where there is attention, there are them.
So many reporters tried their best to contact Tang Shuang, but Tang Shuang was a newcomer, and the outside world knew nothing about his background information.
This not only did not make those reporters discouraged, but aroused greater enthusiasm, as long as he was interviewed, it was exclusive, the first copy, which was a huge gimmick, which was very helpful to drive sales.
But there are very few people who know Tang Shuang's contact information, so these media have hit the head of Star Culture Company, wanting to visit Tang Shuang through here.
Li Haonan had already called three times to ask Tang Shuang's opinion. He screened these media once, and only when he thought it was appropriate would he come to consult Tang Shuang.
Tang Shuang thought about it again and again, but still refused, if it was not necessary, he did not like to show his face in front of the media.
If it was as one of the promotional means of the movie, he could have done it, but it wasn't there yet.
Tang Shuang knows that he can refuse now, but he may have no choice in the future, according to the current situation, if the media can't interview him, not only will he not retreat, but he will chase after him.
The hot sale of the "Hero" novel not only attracted the attention of the media and book fans, but also Jin Yong, and on the second day of breaking the single-day sales, Liang Yusheng called to congratulate him, he was very open-minded and did not be unhappy because he was **.
Then the phone call of Wen Rui'an's security chief came, Jin Yong's phone came, and the phone number of the bone dragon also came...... Everyone can see that the bigger the cake of martial arts, the more beneficial and harmless it is for them, so they will not be confused because of the temporary sales ranking, which is too stupid.
In the matter of contacting Tang Shuang, the most attentive is the bone dragon, a limited edition flower butterfly, because he has a different purpose.
Since this butterfly got "Hero" to be adapted into a movie, he has been very enthusiastic, with only one purpose, hoping that he will recommend him, he wants to play a cameo role in the movie, and he is very ambitious.
On the first day, after he and Tang Shuang got close, he said that he would play Changkong.
In his words, he can't play Remnant Jian and Nameless, it's very rare, he thinks that he can't compare to Li Ying and Liang Qiao in terms of acting, so after he passed these two roles, he took a fancy to Changkong, both heroes, and they are very compatible in temperament.
Tang Shuang listened to him boast so quietly.
Seeing that Tang Shuang disagreed, the bone dragon began to make a deal, and his novel was also adapted into a TV series, if Tang Shuang asked him to make a cameo in the movie, then he would prepare a role for Tang Shuang in the TV series, in order to show generosity, his "The Legend of the Banner Heroes" was talking about film and television copyrights, and told Tang Shuang that he could pick one, as if he was in charge.
The next day, he continued his efforts, took a step back, gave up on Changkong, and he took a fancy to the director of the library.
On the third day, he was defeated repeatedly, saying that since Tang Shuang was so unhappy, then he would deign to come to play the blind pianist in the chess hall.
The bone dragon, formerly known as Yuan Xiaoming, was a willful person who wanted to experience everything, which was related to his experience, which made him become bohemian, optimistic by nature, and full of adventurous spirit in his bones.
Life is a happy field, to have fun and have fun.
He has a soft spot for acting, he once worked as a group actor in Hengdian, lying on his body for three months, because there was no discerning person, he was indignant and began to write his own novels.
Now his novels are sought after by capital, but anyone who wants to buy the copyright must agree to one condition, that is, let him make a cameo.
"Hero" is a big production, and the director is Zhang Fei, he is very excited, so he came to participate.
