After the broadcast of "Sherlock", Zhang Chu and his works were once again well-known to people all over the world.

When analyzing the reasons for the popularity of this TV series, many media will not miss the influence of the original book and screenwriter, but they only know that Zhang Chu has such a book, and the rest of the works seem to be in Chinese.

The title of "China's best-selling young writer" appeared on Zhang Chu's head, and many people were curious, if he could write a work like Shenxia, what would his other books look like?

Random House almost had a bad face, especially Chris Oldman, the editor in charge of Zhang Chu, who was looking at the scenery outside the window leisurely.

He went to the Far East to sign a young man who was not famous, and brought his work to the UK, and now the TV series based on this work is popular all over the world!

Every legend has countless stories behind them, and the story of Chris Oldman and Zhang Chu is also widely circulated in the publishing world.

Even Chris himself is extremely proud, how good does his vision have to be to cross the earth to sign Zhang Chulai!

When I first brought "Sherlock" back to the UK, many colleagues in the company didn't understand why I wanted to promote the work of an 18-year-old guy, and although it also topped the new book sales list, there were not 1,000 or 800 copies of such books in Random House, which was not worth mentioning at all.

After all, Random House is not a small publishing house, they have a fairly wide range of businesses, they are the best in the world, and they have countless big-name authors.

The sales of Shenxia before can only be said to be average, and the type that is less than the top is more than the bottom, and it is not particularly dazzling.

But this time, the ratings of the BBC's TV series of the same name exploded directly, and the company's internal attention to "Sherlock" directly increased by several levels!

As long as the leaders are not blind, as long as their heads can still function normally, they are very aware of the commercial value of this work.

Not only London, not just the UK, not just Europe, and now in almost all British countries, the physical book sales of "Sherlock" have suddenly risen!

British bookstores are in a hurry one after another, they don't have too many physical books in advance at all, and at this time Random House is already organizing reprinting as fast as possible, and this time the reprinting is a million copies, which is quite a large amount.

At this time, the TV series has not officially landed in the United States, but interested netizens in the United States have seen this work through online channels, the number of orders on Amazon in North America has increased rapidly, and the number of e-book downloads has soared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Neither Zhang Chu nor Random House had promoted it in North America before, and "Sherlock" couldn't even rank 10,000 on this week's e-book download list, and now it has come to the eleventh place in less than a day!

You must know that at this time, the word-of-mouth effect has not completely dispersed, and the sales increase is already so gratifying, and the American branch of Random House has even opened $500,000 in publicity funds, because "Sherlock" is likely to hit the New York Times bestseller list this month!

This is a feat that has not been accomplished when the new book was released, and now it seems that it can be easily accomplished with the help of a TV series after a short half a year.

Chris Oldman is so busy now that his feet barely touch the ground, and when Zhang Chu's works are released, he has a lot more confidence to speak, and now when he quarrels with his colleagues in the publishing and printing department, he slaps the table a lot harder!

"Whatever you do, you have to get Life of Pi to ride the wind now, and the book can also become a bestseller, and if you don't reprint it now, it's too late. ”

The bearded Paul shook his head, "But the 500,000 copies that were printed before still have 310,000 copies in stock, and we can't let the books pile up in the warehouse." ”

The success of "Sherlock" is difficult to replicate, and as a little-known newcomer, it can sell nearly a million copies in the United Kingdom, thanks to nothing more than the character of Sherlock Holmes and the BBC buying the rights to the TV series.

Compared with his big brother, "Life of Pi" is much more difficult, telling the story of an Indian boy and a tiger drifting on the sea, even though India was once a British colony, but there is basically no splash!

The vast majority of readers were unaware of the existence of such a book, so no good news had reached the UK abroad.

Mainland netizens and media hardly know that "Life of Pi" already has English and French versions.

Thinking of this, Chris couldn't help but sigh, when he went to Yenching University to negotiate with Zhang Chu, the main purpose was for "Youth Pi", and "Sherlock" was just a giveaway-style thing that was stuffed over!

Now the form has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is really a creation and a trick.

……

Similar to Random House's mood, Nanhai Publishing Company was also happy, because "Sherlock" directly surpassed the top of the list in sales on this day!

Even if this TV series is not broadcast on any domestic TV station, Tencent Video's exclusive broadcast right has also taken a lot of advantage, and now the total number of hits has exceeded 5 million, and quite a few netizens have watched this work.

Thanks to the TV series, the sales of the same name are naturally rising, and the sales of a single day were only a few hundred to a thousand copies before.

Yesterday's single-day sales exceeded 91,000 copies, leaving the second place far behind!

"Sherlock", as Zhang Chu's debut work, did not feel what it was like to be a champion.

This championship was long, long overdue, but it didn't go off the rails.

Considering the growing popularity of this movie, this should not be the only single-day champion of "Sherlock", the weekly sales champion is almost in control, and the monthly champion is not unexpected!

On the sales list, Zhang Chu's other work "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" is still high, and it has received the impact of various books since it was published for a month, and it is still ranked fourth.

TV dramas have the most obvious driving effect on the work of the same name, but it also has a great effect on the rest of the works of the same author.

So this day should be the happiest for Zhang Chu, because all his published works have returned to the top of the list, but the positions are high and low!

On the top of the ranking of the General Administration of Press and Publication, choose another type according to the sales ranking of the writer's works, and the works under the names of all the writers are superimposed.

According to this ranking method, Zhang Chu still ranks first, although there are not many works, but there are two that can be sold in particular.

Yesterday alone, he sold 180,000 books, a sales power that all writers were amazed by!
