Random House has also used a lot of methods to promote "Sherlock", and this time it joined forces with the BBC in order to link the news of the entertainment industry with the sales of the book industry.

At present, it seems that the effect is quite good, at least the relevant reports have increased, compared to many new works, the exposure of "Sherlock" is very amazing!

Sherlock Holmes fans in North America, in particular, regard Zhang Chu as a hero, and many of them are copying, continuing or writing Sherlock Holmes fanworks, but none of them have reached the current heights of the book.

It's also a fan, but the gap is too big.

Young fans of the Far East not only wrote a book, but it was also adapted into a TV series!

The discussion on the Internet is still hot, and they have endless content about the actors of the new version of Sherlock Holmes, about the plot, and about the book works.

"It's hard to imagine what Sherlock Holmes would be like living in modern times, and I'm looking forward to this TV series!"

"Why are there only three episodes? It's about the same time as a movie, it's too little!"

"I can't believe that this story was written by Chinese. Have they seen Sherlock Holmes?"

"I remembered what I wrote when I was in 12th grade, and I had to go home and look through it in two days to see if I could find it. ”

"Finally I saw Sherlock Holmes on TV again, but why did he look a little ugly? Hopefully it's just the poster. ”

"I heard that this TV series is based on it, why can't I find it in the bookstore?"

Readers in Europe and the United States are excited that the name Sherlock Holmes has penetrated into every aspect of their lives.

As for the Conan-Doyle Foundation, it was very depressed, and a cash cow was cut down alive by Zhang Chu!

If the copyright is not disclosed to the public, the foundation can earn millions of dollars with the BBC's TV series, let alone Zhang Chu's work.

It's a pity that they only dare to be angry and dare not speak, and they don't even dare to appeal again, the original case has been clear, and it is impossible for a judge to overturn the case!

……

Compared with European and American readers who have only seen the content now, Chinese netizens are much happier!

They had already read the content of "Sherlock" half a year ago, and even knew about the BBC's purchase of the rights.

It's just that this wave of news has brought the faded works back into the spotlight, and also made some readers who don't like reasoning and detectives curious.

What kind of fanwork can reach this level of strength?

Young people almost all know that Sherlock Holmes is a detective, but not necessarily all of them have seen Sherlock Holmes as the main character.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to buy a book and read it!

Li Jiaming usually doesn't like it, he likes all kinds of games, and when he is commuting, he is either playing computer games, or holding his mobile phone or console games.

Reading books is like a hypnotic pill for him, no matter what book he holds for half an hour and falls asleep, it is more effective than any brand of sleeping pills.

Sitting on the bus, Li Jiaming originally planned to play two kings of glory, but the crimson remaining power in the upper right corner made him dare not act rashly, so he had to look at the > WeChat circle of friends, there are college classmates on vacation, there are customers at work who are promoting their products, and there are also bank classmates who send some small advertisements while popularizing the difference between financial management and investment, and there are elementary school classmates who show their babies every day.

Li Jiaming could hardly find any fun, and just as he was about to quit, he suddenly saw a link shared by a friend: "I'm sharing "Detective Sherlock" on Douban, come and watch!"

"What kind of book is this, and it's talked about everywhere. Li Jiaming muttered, someone chatted at work, and someone in the game group said that there are still people in the circle of friends to share.

For a while, he didn't connect Sherlock and Sherlock Holmes at all, thinking that they were two different characters, until he clicked on the link to share, and then realized that this is now a work about the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes!

Sherlock is the first name, Sherlock Holmes is the surname, many people directly think that Sherlock Holmes is the real name, and the Sherlock family is a great detective.

"I haven't even read the original Sherlock Holmes books, can I understand this story?"

Li Jiaming hesitated, just when he found that Douban could read the first few thousand words for free, so he clicked on the rickety and stop-and-go bus and started reading.

I usually have the spirit to play games and watch live broadcasts of games, but Li Jiaming found that he didn't doze off when he watched this movie, which is really a magical thing!

The famous detective and his friends have been through bizarre citizen suicides, gang smuggling cases, and countdown bomb killings, each of which may seem somewhat independent but is actually connected.

Every time these two people solve a case, new problems and innocent victims will appear, Li Jiaming couldn't let go at all, and finally paid 9.99 yuan to buy the electronic version, and then happily continued to read, wondering who is the real mastermind behind the scenes!

When the TV series had not yet started, the original Chinese version of "Sherlock" had already returned to the top of the charts with the hot sales of the English version.

If you count "Psychological Crime", which returned to the list before, and "Journey to the West Diary", which has been on the list, now Zhang Chu's three works that have sold physical books are all on the Top200 list!

It's almost a new record, and it's almost never been a writer whose work is on the sales charts, except for those who only have one or two books.

This achievement is simply the envy of others, if you wait for the official release of "Life of Pi", the four books will be washed directly!

In Europe and the United States, "Sherlock" ushered in explosive development.

If it weren't for the BBC news, not too many people would have known that this modern-day Sherlock Holmes TV series that has already started filming actually exists!

In the British market, the sales of "Sherlock" skyrocketed, with sales exceeding 30,000 copies in a single day, successfully topping the new book list.

In the North American market, this work also ushered in a new high, selling more than 25,000 copies, climbing from eighth to fifth place in the new book sales list, and is approaching "Night School" step by step!

Britain is the hometown of Sherlock Holmes, and it is also the home of the BBC, and with the blessing of this news, it became the first country to reach the top!
