Vacation is an urgent need for Zhang Chu, after a study of serious study and hard work, he urgently needs a vacation to relax himself.

Seeing that the Long March is on the verge of victory, now is not the time to take it lightly.

He has secretly wondered whether he will stay at home or run out to play this holiday, he has time and no money in his previous life, and he has money and time in this life, so why not treat himself?

The effect of quenching thirst and painting cakes to satisfy hunger is quite good, at least Zhang Chu, who was just tired of it, devoted himself energetically to the final review.

Time passed little by little, and the first week of 2018 finally passed, and in this week, all kinds of news emerged in an endless stream, as if they were competing for the New Year's drama.

Cheating, splitting legs, fires, beds, real shooting, directors and critics spraying, a basket of good dramas!

Among so many news, the book publishing industry is most concerned about the sales in the first week of the new year, even if they know that there is no suspense that Zhang Chu's "Ghost Blows the Lamp" will win the championship, but many people still want to know what the specific number is.

Many publishers who want to make a difference on the annual charts will release their books in the first half of the year, so that they have enough time to accumulate their own sales.

However, in order to avoid competition, some companies choose to release books at the end of the previous year, so that the word of mouth ferments just when the New Year comes, just like the champion of the annual sales list in 2018 last year was released in early December 2017 the year before last!

There are dark horses every year, and this year is particularly demonic.

It is estimated that no one would have thought that a rookie writer who has been officially writing a book for less than a year will have the ability to compete for the top of the annual list this year, and he is still in the lead!

The General Administration of New News and Publication will not only publish the real-time sales ranking once a day, but also make regular summaries on a weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, and 10-year basis.

Netizens are also talking about the rankings on these charts, just like European and American music fans like to see the charts on billboards.

Zhang Bowen usually pays more attention to various bestseller lists, which allows him to replenish popular bestsellers in real time and grasp the current popularity in time.

At the moment, he has plenty of reasons to pay attention to the bestseller list, who let his son's works now occupy the limelight, Zhang Bowen can't wait for his bookstore to help sell a few more copies.

"If the bookstore continues to be profitable like this, we will open another branch, and when our bookstore is opened all over the country in the future, we can push whatever books we want, and we can promote them as much as we want!"

The son writes books, and Lao Tzu sells books, which is simply an excellent match.

After Zhang Bowen had this idea in his heart, he became more and more cautious, and the operation of physical bookstores has become more and more troublesome these years, and the sales of his new store are all because of the good location, and he is willing to spend money to invest.

Which private bookstore buys the store directly?

This investment is estimated to cost millions of dollars, and many bookstores rent them.

This method can indeed save a lot of rent, and the potential for appreciation of the shop is relatively large, but the problem is that the upfront investment requires too much!

Nowadays, almost all the better shops have been sold out, and even some shops only adopt the mode of leasing and do not sell them to the outside world at all.

If Hanlinxuan Bookstore wants to expand into a national chain, it is simply impossible.

But this does not prevent Zhang Bowen from dreaming, who doesn't have a big dream when he opens a bookstore!

Getting back to the point, Zhang Bowen sat in a small office isolated from the warehouse, and he clicked the mouse with his right hand to refresh the page and found last week's book sales report.

In addition to the general list, it is also divided into two different categories: fiction works and non-fiction works.

As soon as Zhang Bowen saw this number, he couldn't help but laugh with a face!

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" unsurprisingly topped the list, and its first-week sales came to a terrifying 1.185 million copies, 400,000 more than the second place!

This extra 400,000 can be ranked in the top ten or even the top five on the weekly list, so you can imagine how strong the lead is.

The second place Liu Tong's work "The Future is Waiting for You" Although it was signed in major cities across the country, the gap has not narrowed, but has been widened!

Not only is it at a disadvantage in sales, but its reputation has even suffered Waterloo, and its stamina is worrisome.

However, the third place, "Academy of Magic 5", sold 520,000 copies in a week with the purchasing power of teenagers, which was the same as the first week of the previous game "Academy of Magic 4".

But the previous work won the championship for at least two consecutive weeks, but this work is not to mention the champion, and the runner-up has no play!

Probably because of the festive effect of the New Year's Day, book sales this week have generally increased greatly, and the champion has become a class of its own, and the second and third places can win the championship the rest of the time.

The entire book market seems to be dominated by these three books, and the "Report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China", which ranks fourth on the weekly list, only sold 210,000 copies, and the gap is very obvious!

A supernatural adventure, a student baby who has been writing for less than a year, has created a book that has exceeded one million in the first week.

In fact, everyone understands in their hearts, after all, the data of each day before can be added up by themselves, but many people are too lazy to calculate it, so they have to wait for the official website statistics.

The supernatural is usually regarded as a work that cannot be put on the table, and most of the time it stays in the corners of the bookstore, and it has never been to the top of the sales list!

Even some works adapted from movies and TV series are difficult to appear in front of the public.

This time, "Ghost Blows the Lamp" created another precedent and became the first work to reach the top of the animistic work.

No one in the publishing industry could have imagined that there would be such a day!

Industry insiders, netizens, and book reviewers have expressed their opinions on social media, which is an excellent boost to the stamina of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

"It's selling so well, isn't it? It's like the first week is going to beat the pace of the rest of the books!"

"I contributed physical books plus e-books, and it turned out that I also participated in a project of tens of millions. ”

"To be honest, this book is so big of a gimmick that my uncle didn't usually read much and actually went to buy one. ”

"I'm not surprised at all? My classmates around me are talking about this book. ”

"I seriously suspect that Zhang Chuda has never been to the cemetery at all, and he relies on blind fabrication, but I still watch it with relish. ”

"1.18 million copies? Oh my God, how much money can Zhang Chu make?"

"It's sad and sad that Chinese literature has reached the point where it has to be saved by pretending to be a ghost. ”
