None of Zhang Chu's works have opened physical pre-sales before, mainly because he has insufficient fans and can't support the number of pre-sales.

Writers who dare to open the pre-sale of physical books are confident in themselves and believe that their fans can create good results.

Wouldn't it be a shame if we didn't even buy out the numbers for pre-sale?

People live with a face, and trees live with a skin.

Many writers care about the problem of face, and losing face is more terrible than anything else.

If it weren't for the recent hot sales situation and news heat, I'm afraid Nanhai Publishing Company would not dare to open pre-sales, after all, Zhang Chu is still in the first year of newcomers!

"Can 50,000 copies be sold out?" On WeChat, Zhang Chu's mother, Ms. Chu Lan, asked worriedly.

And Zhang Bowen proposed: "Otherwise, we will pay for him to buy it, and it is a big deal to buy it and put it in the warehouse of the bookstore and sell it slowly." ”

"Husband, that's a good idea. Or we can take these books and quietly find the company to return them, and it is much safer to find us than to find a water army!"

The two sang and harmonized, and Zhang Chu, the "home>" of only three people, sighed after seeing WeChat, and replied with a voice: "You two should have a little confidence in me, it's only 50,000 copies, and it will be sold out in minutes!"

Zhang Bowen looked at his son's exaggerated tone, and he directly took a photo of the warehouse with his mobile phone: "Our bookstore has never had so many books, and the warehouse can't put it." ”

From the numbers, 50,000 is indeed not much, which is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of copies sold by his works.

But if you really take out one by one, it will take a long time!

"Don't worry, times are different now, it's better for people to buy books online, not to mention my signature, which should be quite attractive. ”

"Okay, you opened that pre-sale channel in the early hours of tonight, right? If it hasn't been sold out tomorrow afternoon, I'll buy it for you!" Zhang Bowen said proudly, Zhang Chuke handed over a lot of money in his hands to his parents to complete their plans and dreams.

Chu Lan helped Zhang Chu buy a house in Jiangcheng, while Zhang Bowen went to buy a shop, and now he is hesitating whether to rent out this relatively wide shop or use it to open a branch of Hanlinxuan Bookstore himself!

After all, the current bookstore is too small, and the location is not the best, Zhang Bowen also wants to raise his efforts to a higher level.

Zhang Chu himself is very supportive of Zhang Bowen's bookstore business, anyway, the store is his own, at least the bookstore will not lose money, at most it will have some sunk costs.

……

Tonight, "Life of Pi" will be pre-sold on Dangdang.com, and the current price is set at 24 yuan, and many readers are already asking about related things in the puzzle area.

"Is there a 1% chance of getting 500 signed books out of a total of 50,000 pre-sold books?

"Do you have a separate autograph book for sale? I want to buy a copy and collect it. ”

"What if 50,000 books are not enough? Our dormitory was cut off at 11 p.m., and the school's 4G signal was simply not available. ”

"Are those autographs completely random, or do they appear at a specific number, like the 1st, 100th, 50,000th copies?"

"You guys should be genuine, right? How much money can Zhang Chu get. ”

"You don't need to grab 50,000 books, right? If they sell out, will you restock?"

Questions like these keep the customer service busy, almost all of them Life of Pi readers, who have either paid online with Chinese writers or have purchased paid e-books.

No matter how good mobile reading is, it can't replace paper reading, especially if you want to buy it for collection.

Zhou Kang has been sitting in the study after taking a shower and refreshing the pre-sale page of Dangdang.com, obviously it's still early, but he just can't put his mind at ease!

It's not just "Life of Pi" that has chosen to start pre-sale today, but there are also two god-level writers who are doing pre-sale promotion for the new book.

The famous fantasy writer, Yun Fan, who ranked 17th on the list of rich writers last year, appeared with his new book "Kunlun Ruins 5", and the new book of the great god who earned nearly 30 million yuan a year was very good, and "Kunlun Ruins" was also changed to a mobile game, which was just launched not long ago!

and Liu Ning, one of the four kings of science fiction, is in the limelight, and recently won the International Fantasy Award for "Time Fold", and now this "Time and Space Fold", which is about to start pre-sale, is the sequel to that classic work.

Three very different parts are placed together, and of course they are compared.

Not only will there be a comparison at the time of pre-sale, but they will also be each other's biggest rivals on the book sales list in the second week of November!

Zhang Chu seems to be the most disadvantaged in this regard, and at the same time the one with the lowest reputation, and the cumulative sales of so many books are not as many as the book "Time Folds".

However, his advantage lies in the film and television adaptation of the works in hand, not only movies, but also TV series, and even not only limited to China!

However, this advantage does not play a role at this stage, because these film and television works have not yet announced the casting, let alone start filming and broadcasting.

Zhou Kang's goal now is to hope that "Youth Pi" will not be thrown too far by those two works, as for catching up or surpassing, it is something that I dare not think of.

The pre-sale advertisements of the three writers have been placed on the large banner on the homepage of Dangdang.com, and the invisible comparison has begun!

Netizens who are good have long begun to predict who will emerge from the three.

"The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and the pocket money is trembling!"

"The fairy fight, it's so exciting. ”

"I guess it's a big win in "Kunlun Ruins", how about betting on a spicy strip?"

"Call for Life of Pi!"

"This is an early decisive battle! ”

"Why do I have a bad premonition, will Zhang Chu go against the sky?"

"I just registered a Dangdang account, don't stop me. ”

"Zhang Chu come on, stay up late tonight and wait to buy books!"

"How could you not watch the sequel to "Kunlun Ruins", waiting for Chu Yuntian to kill the Quartet. ”

"The pride of science fiction, I like to watch science fiction the most. ”

All three writers have their supporters, and it's a weekend night, so it's okay to stay up until the wee hours of the morning.

Among these books, "Life of Pi" is actually quite disadvantageous, because it is the only book that exposes all the contents!

Hundreds of thousands of people have seen the electronic version, will they still pay for the physical version?

Except for Zhang Chu's die-hard fans, almost no one is optimistic about the fate of this work, and most people think that this will be a situation where "Kunlun Ruins 5" and "Time and Space Folding" will compete with each other!
