It was none other than Zhang Chu who was sitting in front of the computer and writing hard.

This guy has already integrated many feng shui works in his spare time, and now he has begun to try to revise "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", which is the result of his phased learning.

Not only for readers and critics, but also for yourself, to see how much you have improved with the help of the system these days!

The English version of "Life of Pi" has been thrown aside early, and if no one pushes for it, then there is no hurry.

[Finally rubbed past the nine-story demon building, walked forward less than two hundred, and suddenly his feet were soft, as if he had stepped on some huge animal......]

The overlord salamander officially appeared at this time, and ordinary small salamanders can be killed with guns, but this salamander hidden in the river like a water monster is everyone's nightmare.

Cold-blooded reptiles are inherently creepy, and the current talk about this overlord salamander, which was extinct during the Ice Age, makes readers even more worried, wondering how Hu Bayi and how they can escape.

It is precisely because of the depiction of these strange creatures that tomb robbing is more like an adventure, and when it comes to the real supernatural depiction of the tomb, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is inferior to "Tomb Robbery Notes" in these aspects!

The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted his thoughts, Zhang Chu stopped to save the content written in front of him, and he got up to get the mobile phone on the coffee table.

After seeing that it was Zhou Kang's name, he knew that this should be to inform himself of the specific sales.

Zhang Chu made a little mental preparation, swiped his finger across the screen, and connected the phone.

Zhou Kang's voice sounded a little noisy, he covered his phone with his hand, and said loudly: "Zhang Chu, the sales results of your "Sherlock" are out!"

"How much?"

"Guess what. ”

It's this kind of mentally retarded game again, Zhang Chu was a little speechless, he casually said a number, "There should be 30,000 copies, right?"

Zhou Kang on the other end of the phone laughed, "Multiply the number you guessed by 2, and add 10,000 copies!"

Zhang Chu gasped, he sold 70,000 copies on the first day?

This number is higher than his first day in China, and "Journey to the West Diary" occupies the right time and place, and it has not sold so many quantities in one day!

I should be a complete nobody in overseas regions, how can there be so many sales?

Even if the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia are all listed together, almost all major domestic countries are shrouded, this figure is still shocking.

"You heard it right, it's 71,000 copies. It is estimated that this success is difficult to replicate, after all, Sherlock Holmes's influence in the hearts of Westerners is too great!"

This makes sense, if it weren't for the super IP of Sherlock Holmes, Zhang Chu would not have so many works.

He knows himself very well, and when the time comes, if "Youth Pi" can break 10,000 on the first day, he will have to burn high incense!

Overseas popularity and popularity have to be slowly accumulated with one work after another, and it is too difficult to reach the sky in one step.

This time he picked up the cheapness on the subject matter, and there will not be such a good opportunity in the future.

However, there are more fanworks written about Sherlock, but there are very few works that can explode horror sales like "Sherlock"!

……

When Random House and Menglong Culture Media both announced the results of the first day's sales, those netizens were a little incredible.

Before, it went from 415 to 5,000 copies, but now it directly exceeds 70,000 copies, doesn't this mean that a book has been sold in 2 seconds?

A day is just more than 80,000 seconds, and now the English version of "Sherlock" can sell 70,000 copies, and the Chinese version can sell thousands of copies, which is almost that number in total.

"It's terrible, Zhang Chu is going against the sky!"

"A book a second? ”

"Kneel down for Zhang Chu!"

"This year's most awesome newcomer is nothing more than this, too strong. ”

"This seems to be Zhang Chu's debut work, right? There are already two language versions. ”

"I have a hunch that the Chinese version will definitely not sell the English version, after all, Lao Xia's hometown is in the UK. ”

"This is the glory of winning the glory, I hope to win the first place in the new book sales list in the UK and the United States, and create another history!"

Netizens' ability to change faces is quite strong, and wave after wave of praise is sent without money, as if this can make up for the damage caused before.

It seems that there has been no report on the specific sales of Chinese works overseas before, and many news are vague about selling and being sought after, but that is not convincing at all!

Only numbers like this can really show that Sherlock conquered the gringos, albeit with their own literature, which is a bit of a master's skill.

On Amazon's US website, the number of reviews for "Sherlock" has reached 58, most of which are five-star reviews, only two three-star reviews, and the overall score is as high as 4.9!

User ninjaco2252 commented: "I've been passionate about Sherlock Holmes since I was very young. My first reaction when I heard the modern Sherlock Holmes books was: Oh God, they're going to mess this up, let alone a Chinese who doesn't know Sherlock at all. But I'm happy to tell you that, compared to many other Sherlock Holmes works, this book is witty, clever, and most importantly funny. ”

DaveFilm also gave it five stars, saying that "this is a very creative way to turn the 19th-century technology of the original book into the modern world of smartphones, blogs and satellite positioning, but without the excessive self-attention that comes with these modern technologies!"

Skye, a writer from the United States, expressed his gratitude vividly: "Since I found the complete Sherlock Holmes detective works on my grandfather's bookshelf when I was a child, I have always liked these two gentlemen who detectives. But when I grew up and wrote a Sherlock Holmes fanstory, the publisher agreed to publish it, but it didn't get it out because of the Conan Doyle Foundation's obstruction.

Thank you Zhang Chu, thank you for liberating Sherlock Holmes, he belongs to everyone who loves this work!

The book "Sherlock" has the narrative techniques of MI5, but it is still a Sherlock Holmes story, with very clever reasoning and even more confusing plots.

If there's one flaw, it's that the story is too short, and I hope to see more of it!"

The Guardian, a well-known British newspaper, wrote a book review for the first time, "This clever arrangement of the plot in the original book from China is not a simple copy, he has made ingenious changes to the original book, and blended elements from different stories together, making "Sherlock" full of creativity and humorous plot, but it has never deviated from the essence of the original book." ”

The book review, which is more than 1,000 words, was quite high, and even gave the highest praise at the end: "Sherlock caters to this era, and it is the choice of our time!"
