Fake?

It turned out to be a fake!

The netizens who were still scolding before were stunned, didn't they just scold the wrong person?

People haven't officially released it yet, and it is estimated that only a few areas have opened sales when the data is queried, which drags it out and criticizes it, which seems to be a little too early!

The media that was still chattering before almost stopped at this time, quickly verified the relevant news, and saw if they had reported fake news.

Xiangjiang, in the editorial office of Apple Daily, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses is furious, spitting everywhere!

"Are you all stupid? When others report it, you follow it, and you don't even check the real situation. Why don't you hurry up and see the real content now, and wait for the lawyer's letter or the court's notice?"

"Why are you standing, delete the post, delete the content you posted before. ”

"You must be trying to me off, what kind of people have you recruited to work!"

One by one, the employees of Apple Daily hid their heads like ostriches, for fear that if they made a big move, they would burn the fire on themselves.

An employee deleted the content just now, he felt that he was quite wronged in his heart, and he usually forwarded other people's messages, but who knew that this time there was a problem.

At the same time, there are staff members looking at sales statistics from all over the world, and now the American people are still asleep, the British people have not yet gotten up, and Australia and New Zealand have preliminary data.

"Editor-in-chief, it seems that I am indeed mistaken, "Sherlock" officially landed on Amazon at midnight in the United States, and it has sold almost 2,000 copies at this time, and Australia and New Zealand have already made it to the new book sales list, the specific number has not been announced for the time being, anyway, more than 415 copies. ”

"Since we are mistaken, let's write down the real sales, it is impossible to clarify, and we will re-report the incident. ”

At best, the media admit it, but it is more difficult for them to write an apology than anything else.

Not only Apple Daily, but other newspapers and online media are also quickly checking the situation, which makes many writers and critics who have appeared in person very embarrassed!

Isn't this a pit teammate?

I wrote so much impassionedly, either directly criticized or sneered, and it turned out to be fake news.

Xu Yuan didn't know if he should delete Weibo now, he always felt that his face was hot, and it really hurt to hit his face.

"It's all Zhang Chu's fault, if it weren't for him, would I have posted a micro-blog?"

Xu Yuan recorded such an account for Zhang Chu in his heart, and the disgust in his heart was a little more.

Random House's publishing efficiency is quite high, and Zhang Chucai gave them the English version of "Sherlock" in less than two months, and as a result, the world's major English-speaking countries have basically begun to distribute goods.

And Amazon, as a place for online shopping and e-book downloads, has taken on a lot of attention, and the sales here are the overall feedback!

The French version of "Sherlock" has not yet been translated, and Zhang Chu has saved a lot of time in the English publication of Random House, so that it can meet readers so quickly.

……

In London, when the sky is falling with a light rain, an umbrella is a must-carry for those who have lived in the city for a long time.

Umbrellas of various colors were soon propped up in the streets, and Andy Rogers tightened his trench coat and walked forward helplessly.

Fortunately, the company is not far from the subway entrance, otherwise it would really get wet, God knows where the umbrella in his briefcase ran last night!

The coffee shop on the street was lit up orange, and Andy, who hadn't eaten early in the morning, was quickly attracted by the aroma of the coffee, and he took small steps to avoid the puddles on the street, pushed open the door and walked in.

"A latte, thank you. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

After ordering, Andy Rogers looked out the window and saw that the bookstore opposite the coffee shop had just opened, and an elderly man with gray hair was putting up a poster at the door.

It was a silhouette of a figure wearing a gentleman's hat and a pipe in his mouth, and Andy Rogers knew at a glance that it was supposed to be the image of Sherlock Holmes!

"Could it be that Sherlock Holmes has been republished again?"

As an important role in the history of English literature, Sherlock Holmes has a higher status in the minds of the British than even 007.

The words "Sherlock" on the poster verified Andy's conjecture, he is a Sherlock Holmes fan, not only read "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" over and over again, but even read all kinds of official extras or fanworks.

This summer, I also watched the movie "Sherlock Holmes" with my friends, but the American flavor of Sherlock Holmes in this work is quite strong, which makes them all complain.

"Sir, your coffee is ready. ”

The waiter interrupted Andy's thoughts, and after looking at the time on his watch, he didn't bother to go to the bookstore to buy books, and walked quickly towards the tall building not far away.

Somehow, the poster was etched in his mind.

Arriving in place before the meeting of the chief of staff, Andy breathed a sigh of relief, if he was late, the balding old guy might have to take the opportunity to make trouble.

After all, a job is hard to find, and you don't want to lose a job that is easy and pays well.

Andy was in the crowd and listened to the speech, then returned to his desk, picked up his coffee and took a sip, his mind constantly recalling the poster he had just seen through the coffee shop window.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he quickly opened Google search, typed in "Sherlock" in English, and clicked enter.

The first thing that came out was Sherlock Holmes's Wikipedia, of course, there was nothing new in it, Andy looked down and found that there was a zoomed-out picture of the poster in an Amazon search result!

"Bingo! ”

Andy opened the webpage and was surprised to find that the writer's name was actually a Chinese name, and the content introduction was quite familiar.

Nineteenth-century Sherlock Holmes returned to modern London, isn't this exactly what he read on the news six months ago?

It's just that I and my friends couldn't find it at the beginning, but now I see it on the street.

It's really intentional to plant flowers that don't bloom, and unintentionally plant willows and willows!

When the media reported on "Sherlock", they directly used the paraphrase method, and there was no English version to search for.

Now that the official translation is the same as the BBC TV series, Andy quickly logged in to his Amazon account and placed an order to buy a physical book.

Then he thought about it again, it seems that the express delivery will take several days to arrive, and he wants to see this content when he eats at noon, or buy an electronic version, right?

Another voice in my head immediately rang out: Okay, okay, place an order now!

When the dawn gradually advanced from the east to the west of the earth, and when Europe and the United States in the western hemisphere ushered in the sunshine one after another, "Sherlock" also officially appeared in bookstores and online bookstores on the streets.
