Chapter 587: Book the Champion of the Year
In a primary school in Haidian District, Yanjing, when the solemn national anthem resounded in the playground and the bright five-star red flag was raised, the weekly morning meeting kicked off. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Elementary school students dressed in thick clothes and wearing red scarves around their necks, and under the leadership of their teachers, they stood in line according to the class unit.
The wind in March was still a little cold, and when the leader spoke on the stage, the students below couldn't help but turn their heads and ears!
Zhou Chen sniffled, he was an ordinary student in the third grade of primary school, and after he saw the head teacher walking towards the front, he turned his head and said to the little friend next to him: "Kuikui, have you seen that "Charlotte's Web"?"
Han Likui shook his head, and he asked in a low voice, "What is it, a new cartoon?"
"It's not like that!" a little chubby dun in the front row of the two couldn't help but turn his head and say, "My dad bought me a copy, this book is very good!"
"I asked my mother to tell me some of the words on it I don't know, if only there was pinyin. It's too much trouble to flip through the dictionary. ”
The third-grade children really don't know many words, although Lin Han has made great avoidance when choosing words, but there are still some overruns.
The People's Congress Publishing House is indeed making a phonetic version of the book, after all, the readers of "Charlotte's Web" are mainly children, and they need such a version even more, but they haven't made it out yet!
A little beauty with pigtails frowned, and she reminded: "Zhou Chen, don't talk casually, otherwise I will tell Teacher Gao!"
"Squad leader, have you read this book? I don't think you have read it. "Han Likui is not afraid of making small reports, his uncle is the leader of the school, and every time he makes a mistake, he is simply reprimanded.
"Anyway, you have to be quiet when the headmaster speaks. ”
"Slightly, squad leader, you're not talking yet, why do you want us to be quiet?" Zhou Chen grimaced.
After returning to the classroom after the flag-raising ceremony, many students in the class gathered around them, wanting to know what "Charlotte's Web" was about, and they didn't want to fall behind the trend.
The delicate little boy who wore glasses at such a young age took out his chocolate, handed it to the little fat dun and said, "Fat brother, this is for you to eat, can you tell me this story?" ”
A few little guys around the desk also did the same, taking out all the snacks in their school bags.
Little Fat Dun didn't expect that he would receive so many delicious foods, he directly put them into his bag, and then said: "This book has only been out for a long time, and it tells the story of a spider who saved a little pig." ”
"Oh, spiders, I'm most afraid of spiders!"
A little girl with short hair and a cute bob covered her ears and screamed, scared but also unable to help but want to sound.
Charlotte's website became the hottest topic among students on Monday, everyone was talking about it, and it seemed that people who didn't know about this book and hadn't read it were outliers, just out of the crowd!
What happened inside the school gradually affected the outside world, and when the day ended, when the children were out of school, the sales of bookstores across the country skyrocketed, and all predictions were overshadowed.
It stands to reason that on weekdays, almost all entertainment items will see a significant decline, and book sales are no exception.
From half past three in the afternoon, the speed of on-site book sales in bookstores has skyrocketed, and it doesn't take long for a stack of books to be gone!
And the number of online orders during the same time period is also skyrocketing, when children take the initiative to say that they want to read this book, how can parents refuse?
In fact, the phenomenon of comparison and following among children is very serious, and when a class is talking about this book, it will soon spread to the entire grade and the whole school, and it will not be long before another school will be infected!
Even many teachers have never heard of or seen this book, but the students are at the forefront.
Due to the urgency of many children, they simply cannot bear to buy books online until tomorrow or a few days later, so more parents choose to go to bookstores to buy books.
It's fine if it's a person to buy it, but one after another parents take their children to buy the same book, and many vacillating parents in the original bookstore are also curious when they see this, wondering whether to buy a copy for their children at home!
When night falls, the cashier at the bookstore is almost numb, and she can tell the price of the book with her eyes closed.
"Charlotte's Web" sold 510,000 copies nationwide on Monday, which is almost a record that is hard to beat!
It sold more copies on weekdays than on weekends, and it was basically around 300,000 copies on weekends, but now it is 500,000!
No matter who knows, 500,000 copies a day is by no means the limit of "Charlotte's Web", its reputation has just begun to ferment, and the topic and popularity have only slowly begun to rise, and many people are looking forward to it......
They are looking forward to whether Lin Han can break the dusty single-day record of the last century, which has been stuck at 730,000 copies in a single day for 40 years!
……
"I'll take it, no wonder Lin Han wants to come to write fairy tales. This sales look horrible!"
"500,000 copies a day, which means that Lin Han earned millions of yuan a day or tens of millions? ”
"Your dad is your dad after all, and writing fairy tales sells even better than science fiction, I'm so entangled. I hope Mr. Lin will come back to write science fiction, but I don't think I should give up such a good market as fairy tales!"
"The audience for fairy tales is too big, and although science fiction has developed quite violently, it can't be compared after all. ”
"I'm going to buy a copy for my nephew, and it's his birthday on Wednesday!"
"The pre-sale was 1.2 million+, 1 million+ in the first three days of the weekend, and 500,000+ on Monday, which means that "Charlotte's Web" sold 2.7 million copies in four days??? which is the rhythm of heaven!"
"Over-reputation, over-reputation, Lin Han is just an ordinary film director who writes science fiction novels, and this data is mostly a system failure. ”
"Congratulations to Mr. Lin~~~ for dominating the world, the list is a tumor!"
"It's just a standard ending, and the demon is deadly. ”
Netizens were amazed by this data, the good news sent by the official Weibo of the National People's Congress Publishing House could not be more real, and the popularity of this book has just begun!
The audience is indeed the key, many people admit that "Charlotte's Web" is a masterpiece, but it is by no means the best fairy tale, but because the audience of fairy tales is too large, it will be millions of sales at will, tens of millions is not a dream, and the possibility is unusually large.
And so many of Lin Han's science fiction novels are definitely the best science fiction novels in the industry, but the audience is low, even if it explodes fiercely, it will be weak after five or six million copies!
Writers, editors of publishing houses, and people in the book-related industry are all impressed by the book's ability to sell, and they have had doubts and concerns before, but they have all disappeared by this time.
The quality of "Charlotte's Web" is very good, and it stands out easily in fairy tales, successfully leading children to appreciate the story of friendship, life and love!
Even Professor Yan Feng of Fudan University commented, "This is definitely the most suitable world classic fairy tale for adults to watch, there is no doubt that it will become a classic!"
Li Kaitao, a well-known master of children's literature, also gave a very high evaluation, saying: "Charlotte's Web is about friendship, intimacy and protection, adventure and wonder, life and death, trust and betrayal, joy and pain, and the passage of time. The book is perfect, just as magical as the story itself!"
Lin Han's good friend Li Wenyuan has received more than 100,000 likes on Weibo, he wrote: "Charlotte's Web is a simple and simple fairy tale, it does not have the faint melancholy and helplessness in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, nor the gorgeous legends in Grimm's fairy tales, nor the magical magic in Harry Potter. There is only a congenitally deficient piglet and a spider lacking in display. The story is not set in a beautiful forest, but in an unpoetic farm pigsty. My daughter and I loved this gift very much!"
When the book had just been printed, Lin Han sent the book to Li Wenyuan's daughter, the little girl was just at the age of studying, and now she looks quite good.
One book critic after another and writers gave high praise, and it was rare to see an article published in the world, and this article was a detailed analysis of "Charlotte's Web", in which the author gave this fairy tale a five-star conclusion!
Originally, it was just children buying books, but after seeing the praise from all walks of life, many netizens couldn't help but test the poison to see if this story is really suitable for adults to read.
However, this time I was completely fascinated!
……
"Charlotte's Web" became completely popular, and the hot scene even appeared in various news media, and many children gave their most real feelings when they were interviewed.
After a week, its cumulative sales reached 4.8 million copies, far behind many of Lin Han's previous books!
It was also the fastest book to sell more than 5 million copies in 30 years, in just 11 days.
This is still a relatively important record, and there are too many other large and small records broken by "Charlotte's Web", not to mention that Lin Han is not interested in understanding it, and even the National People's Congress Publishing House is basically numb.
Throughout the month of March, the book market across the country was shrouded in the shadow of cobwebs, and Charlotte and Wilbur teamed up to dominate the book market, so that Lin Han's name was once again recorded on the monthly list!
This is not only Lin Han's best-selling work in a single month, but also basically locks in this year's annual sales champion, even Lin Han is not sure to write another such demonic work.
The time, place and people are favorable, and all the elements are gathered together, which is irreproducible!
Generally speaking, this type of fairy tale will not be evaluated too much on Douban Reading, after all, few users who use Douban are primary school students.
Rao is so, it still accumulated more than 20,000 reviews in a short period of time, and the score has piled up to 8.8 points, you must know that the complete works of Grimm's fairy tales have less than 30,000 reviews, but the little prince has blatantly received 220,000 reviews!
User Zi Wendong gave five stars, and his evaluation is very simple, "While giving love, you are giving meaning to life." ”
Another user, Xiaomi Rabbit, also gave five stars, she wrote: "I was originally bought for children, but I read it first. This is a very touching story, the little spider Charlotte appeared in Wilbur's loneliest time, which seems to indicate that it is a little angel sent from heaven, it used its own web to weave Wilbur's extraordinary life, both adults and children, love this book. ”
"A book worth recommending, I bought it and read it in two days. My son is seven years old, and he always likes me to read to him, and he originally likes picture books the most, and he is not very interested in multi-text books without illustrations. Charlotte's web made him fall in love with multi-text books, he asked me to read it to him again, haha, must have five copies, very satisfied, recommend it to parents!"
"I've been reading a verse to my daughter every night for a week, and my daughter understands the relationship between Finn, Charlotte, and Wilbur as soon as she hears them, and she also likes all kinds of small animals on the farm. She even clamored to buy a Dutch pig that would never grow up, and there was something special about such a bestseller. ”
"I like it very much, there is no hypocritical loftiness in ideological education, Lin Han just lets us see sincere friendship and family affection from the basic human nature. I have to read it several times a day, my son used to like to tear books, and now he is very serious about turning books by himself, very good baby books, if there is a phonetic version, it would be better!"
"Charlotte's Web is inspiring and inspires us to look at the true meaning of friendship from all angles and to use a convincing perspective to let children know that they are not alone. ”
A lot of the comments are from parents, and even the whole family likes this book very much.
Lin Han is also very satisfied with the excellent sales results of this fairy tale, and there are many versions such as English version, Chinese-English bilingual version, illustrated version, and phonetic version on sale!
It's just that none of this is the focus of Lin Han's attention, he seems to have disappeared from people's sight, and he didn't come out to participate in any publicity activities during the entire promotion period of the new book.
Book launches, book signings, TV shows, talk shows, magazine interviews?
None of them!
Lin Han is so willful, because he is desperately catching up with the schedule, making the post-production framework of "The Matrix 3" work, and then taking a week to travel and rest.
At present, the production progress of the film is quite gratifying, and now it is 70% complete, and when Lin Han returns from traveling, the remaining 30% will be completed in May and June!
In other words, in the second half of the year, Lin Han can do all kinds of new projects he wants, and finally liberate himself from the Matrix!
