If you don't prepare it beforehand, everything will get rushed.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu is not alone, he has a whole company behind him to support him.

"Uncle Zhou, you don't have anything big to do tomorrow, right?"

"Tomorrow is just a few phone calls from sitting in the company, and the only thing to do now is to advertise your pre-sale. "Thanks to Zhang Chu's blessing, Zhou Kang, the agent, is living very comfortably now.

The more famous, powerful, and more fans a writer has, the agent will have a lot of say when negotiating with other companies or the media, and his waist can be straight, and he doesn't need to kneel and lick.

Zhang Chu didn't go around in circles, he said with a smile: "My parents temporarily decided to go to New Zealand to see the land I bought, and I just booked a plane ticket, but the epidemic prevention certificate of matcha has not yet been done." It's aggressive to strangers, so take it to the pet hospital tomorrow!"

The agent was originally to serve him, not to mention that this is a good thing to justifiably skip work, Zhou Kang agreed without thinking about it: "No problem, I will help you do it properly." In addition, you are not buying a piece of land, but a large piece of land. ”

"The main thing is to look at the scenery over there, and there are a lot of cattle and sheep. I'll have fresh New Zealand milk here in a few days, and I'll send you some too, because I can't finish it all by myself anyway!"

It is impossible for a large area of pasture to be idle over there, and Zhang Chu can't look down on the money from selling milk, so it is better to send it to China after refrigeration and sterilization, which can be regarded as a special benefit of Hanlin Culture Media and Hanlin Academy.

He has a clear positioning of the ranch, and the current stage is to maintain the original appearance until the filming of the "Lord of the Rings" movie begins, and it will not be open to the public as a tourist attraction until the end of filming.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chu couldn't help but have a headache, he had to find a way to pull Chris and Ridley Scott to New Zealand to see the scene over there, otherwise there was no evidence, and with the identity of the producer and the original author, he couldn't force the crew to go there to learn from the experience, so they had to be willing!

"You will come and pick up the matcha tomorrow morning, I will prepare its things and put them at home, and Aunt Zhao should come at that time." ”

"Good. Don't hang up the phone now, I just received the statistics, do you know how many "Silence of the Lambs" were on the first day of pre-sale?"

This really stopped Zhang Chu, he thought about it seriously, and said a more conservative number: "Now there is still a while before 24 hours, I think there should be 200,000 copies on the whole network at present, right?"

At lunchtime, Anmi said that there were more than 70,000 people buying books on JD.com, and he didn't know what the proportion of JD.com Books was in online bookstores.

"200,000? You underestimate your popularity, guess more. A lot of your readers are buying, and quite a few of them are pre-ordered, and it doesn't look like it's bad for money at all!"

Zhou Kang is also the first time to see a book with such a good pre-sale situation, and he vaguely regrets it in his heart, if it is not "The Silence of the Lambs", but another book, how good it is, it will definitely attract more people.

However, he thought about it, if it was the last volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", then it would only be in China, and it would not be able to launch pre-sales on a global scale in a real sense as it is now.

There are pros and cons, and now it seems that the pros outweigh the cons, and with so many more markets, pre-sales will definitely exceed a single market.

Zhang Chu also knew that he had played the safety card, and he pondered: "350,000 copies, this is sold so much in less than 24 hours, it should break one million in a week, right?"

Zhou Kang laughed: "You really underestimate yourself, now it is already 450,000 copies, and it can definitely exceed 500,000 copies in a whole day." After dinner, it's prime time, the peak of online shopping, and maybe it can send that number to 600,000. In one day, it caught up with half of the total pre-sales of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Exquisite Ancient City", which can be said to be a big hit!"

"450,000?

Zhang Chu vaguely couldn't believe in his heart, this thriller and suspense about foreign stories really has so many readers watching it?

"It's really not wrong, Jingdong Books sold nearly 140,000 copies, accounting for one-third of the total pre-sales, Dangdang.com has been surpassed by Jingdong Books, selling about 120,000 copies, and the books on the Tmall market add up to almost 60,000 copies, Amazon has been thrown farther and farther away, they are the first echelon. There are also 99 online mall, China Book Network, Blue Network, China Interactive Publishing founded by the publishing house, Boku Book City opened by Xinhua Distribution Group, Winshare and other second echelons. As for the small bookstores and small websites in the third echelon, they are even more scattered and have relatively little influence. ”

There are still six days to go, and one million is no longer a dream, but more importantly, the record that hit oneself!

Not only Zhang Chu, but also the staff and book market analysts of Nanhai Publishing Company find it difficult to imagine that Zhang Chu can convert popularity into readers, rather than thunder and rain.

"I seemed to be a little swollen just now, and I almost floated. Zhang Chu smiled.

When I was on the earth in my last life, even with the help of adapted movies that could be included in film history classics, the sales of "The Silence of the Lambs" in China are estimated to be more than one million copies.

Now that the movie has not come out and has not come out, just one book title and one cover, the pre-sale volume may exceed the total sales of the previous life, which is really rare!

Zhou Kang's words are not over, "Your cover is so impressive, we interviewed hundreds of people at random, and after showing them the cover, more than 50% of them were willing to try it, especially after hearing your name, it increased by 20%. ”

The faint of heart will definitely not read this book, and those who don't like foreign works will not read it, so after repeated screening, there are still so many readers left, you can imagine how huge the overall readership is!

Zhang Chu asked curiously while eating: "Australia and New Zealand should be in the same time zone as us, how about the pre-sales situation over there?

"Overseas statistics are not available for the time being, and Random House has not yet compiled them. But we briefly tracked Amazon's sales in these countries, and all of them reached the top without exception. Singapore is even better, the English version ranks first on the pre-sale books, and the Chinese version ranks second!"

The market is so big, it will take time to count, Zhang Chu has a hunch, maybe "The Silence of the Lambs" will release a big satellite to surprise everyone! 2k reading web
