Chapter 122: Selling Against the Sky!
It's not just Zhang Chu who pays attention to the sales of "Sherlock".
In the group of mystery writers, even those great god authors are diving to watch the speeches, they will not forget who stole the limelight at the suspense literature summit yesterday.
No one will remember what the summit was all about, starting with a hiccup and being stung by a bee, and ending with an off-site nuclear bomb exploding.
The gods want to curse in their hearts!
"You say, Zhang Chu is too powerful, he dared to go to the United States to fight a lawsuit, I'm a little worried about Lao Qin, should he be accused in China. ”
"Damn, life is even more bizarre than novels, what kind of novels do you write, just watch the daily news!"
"Do you say that Zhang Chu wants to go global, write this Sherlock Holmes fan, and go to sue the foundation, isn't it those foreign publishers beckoning, come on, come on, here is a novel suitable for you to publish. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Li, you are too humorous, how is this a bit like a lady in the red light district soliciting customers. ”
"Maybe he's going to do a miracle today, guess how high his sales are today?"
I don't know who mentioned it, almost every writer is silent, how ruthless would it be if such a huge momentum was converted into sales?
They have written suspense and mystery novels for so many years, but they were directly beaten by a newcomer and lost face.
Zou Yunkai, who was about to release his work, thought about it in his head, and he typed and said: "I think it should be Top50, although the number of topics is relatively large, but the overall audience is limited." ”
"Kaizi, you're too conservative, with so much media coverage, I don't think it's a problem to rush to the top 30. Do you know what is the most terrifying thing about him? People's electronic sales have been leading physical sales for a long time!"
Lin Ping, another activist in the group, said exaggeratedly, he was about to envy Zhang Chu to death, this is simply a son of luck, this kind of good thing can happen.
Even if it is a garbage book, after such intensive exposure, after the largest and most influential media coverage in the country, I am afraid it can be on the sales list.
"You're all wrong! Look, they're all on the edge of the top ten. ”
Li Siwei threw out a screenshot, but he has always been paying attention to Zhang Chu's sales, if he could still see Zhang Chu's back before, now he can only see some footprints, and he can't catch up at all!
On the screenshot, the ranking and sales of "Sherlock" made this group of senior writers stunned, obviously they have already seen so much, why is it so far beyond imagination?
"I don't know what to say except......"
"It's the highest-ranked mystery novel I've seen in my eight years in the industry, and I can't believe it. ”
"A new generation replaces the old, and we are going to be photographed dead on the beach. ”
"Hurry up and ask him about electronic sales, the physical sales are too domineering, my street book has been sold for two years, and it is only more than 100,000 yuan. ”
"Don't forget, he still has the first release of "Psychological Crime" today, and he will definitely rush to the top 100. ”
"High yield and best-selling, this person can't admire it. ”
"Electronic sales are definitely not low, a few days ago I saw that Amazon's weekly list is still more than ten, and today it will run to the second, and the sales will definitely explode. ”
According to the news revealed by the editor of Zhouzhou, there were 38,000 copies of e-books sold on the whole network yesterday, of which more than 3,000 copies were purchased from Amazon's overseas website. ”
Not only suspense and reasoning writers, but also other writers and publishers who pay attention to the sales list were taken aback by this exaggerated increase.
Isn't the spring of suspense mystery novels coming?
How can this success be replicated?
……
Yesterday, the media reprinted foreign reports, and today the domestic media released their own interviews with Zhang Chu, and a small number of foreign media chose to reprint them, and the local exposure is relatively wider.
In Jiangcheng Hanlinxuan Bookstore, Zhang Bowen didn't even have time to read the newspaper at this time, there was a thick stack of newspapers next to the cash register, and even the computer monitor was a web page reporting Zhang Chu.
Since the beginning of this morning, there has been a steady stream of people pouring into the bookstore, coinciding with the opening of elementary school, junior high school, and high school.
The neighbors have obviously accepted the fact that the neighbor's child is the champion, but now Xiao Zhang Chu has gone to fight a cross-border lawsuit again, and there are so many news reports that usually seem unattainable, and there are quite a lot of excitement at this time.
In the bookstore, the hired staff was already busy, and Zhang Bowen himself had to rush to collect the money, and at the same time he had to politely thank others for their compliments.
"It seems that I have to hire another person, and if I knew it, I would have asked the stinky boy to sign me a few hundred more books. ”
Zhang Bowen didn't even have time to drink water, the money was not confiscated here, and he had to go to get books for customers who couldn't find things.
In the past few years, Hanlinxuan Bookstore has not been so busy, and after a busy day, Zhang Bowen, who is used to it, feels that his bones are about to fall apart, and he is simply happy and sorrowful.
……
After a whole day of speculation, the next day Zhang Chu handed in an answer sheet against the sky!
The official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication of the People's Republic of China announced the national book sales ranking on September 1, and there seems to be no important change in the first few places in this ranking, but in the eighth place, a book called "Sherlock" has appeared.
This is several spots higher than the previous day, and it is the first mystery game ever to enter the top 10 of the chart!
The sales volume reached 28,000 copies in one day, and at the same time, the cumulative sales of its own entities increased to 350,000, and there is a great momentum to continue to rush forward.
Nowadays, books pay attention to shipments, actual sales, and irrigation sales.
The so-called shipment is the number of books printed by the publisher from the printing house, and these books will not necessarily be sold, and may rot in the hands of distributors.
In terms of actual sales, it refers to the sales volume of physical books, and only paper books sold are counted.
And the irrigation sales are based on the actual sales plus the sales of e-books, just like the current irrigation sales of "Sherlock" have rushed to 760,000 copies, of which 350,000 copies are sold and 420,000 e-books are sold!
Of course, the price of e-books is not high at this time, and after the sales growth slows down in the later stage, discounts can be used to stimulate sales growth.
In addition to "Sherlock", which entered the top ten for the first time, Zhang Chu's other new book "Psychological Crime" also lived up to expectations, ranking 84th on the list with 10,900 copies sold!
As a newcomer, the first and second works are on the list, and he has created a newcomer miracle in the entire literary category with suspenseful mystery novels!
