Chapter 47: Pre-sale is amazing

Domestic science fiction has always been inferior to Europe and the United States, and now science fiction fans see that the book "I, Robot" has a tendency to catch up and surpass, and establish authority in the small category of science fiction robots, which is a good thing.

This feels like watching the national football team for a long time, and suddenly there is a world-class midfielder on the field, which has a very obvious incentive effect on the entire market.

If the content of the following chapters is as amazing as the previous ones, it will undoubtedly leave a very important mark in the history of Chinese science fiction, and even those three robot laws have caused widespread discussion on the Internet.

Some people think that it is the practice of slave owners to slaves, some people think that this law is not comprehensive, and some people think about the loopholes in it, and attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son, in short, these days are completely a carnival of science fiction fans.

……

"Lin Han, what did you do last night, you didn't hear the knock on the door in the morning. ”

Chen Jiaxuan pointed to her watch, she stood in front of Lin Han's door and said menacingly, the hour hand was already pointing to one o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Han scratched the back of his head, he felt that his eyes couldn't be opened now, and said in a daze: "I may have just fallen asleep in the morning and didn't hear it, what time is it now, I think I have to go sleep for a while." ”

"Are you sure you don't want to eat something? I have cereal or black sesame paste, and although it doesn't taste good, it's okay to fill my stomach urgently. ”

Lin Han waved his hand, he yawned lightly, and explained: "Didn't you open the online pre-sale last night?" I have been watching the number refresh on the sidelines, I am worried that if I hang a 0 before, I will place an order to buy a copy myself, so as not to look too embarrassing." It turned out to be refreshed and refreshed, and it was six o'clock in the morning, and I was trapped to death, do you have anything to do?"

Chen Jiaxuan looked at Lin Han so tired, she opened her mouth and said: "I helped you win two publicity, the People's Congress Publishing House said that the sample book has been sent by courier, and it will arrive in the afternoon if it is in the same city, you can check it yourself." When the time comes, give me a copy, and I'll take it to help you operate it, and keep it for more people to see. ”

"What kind of propaganda? I'm still going to publicize it!?" Lin Han's drowsiness suddenly woke up most of the time, he just wanted to write a book quietly, and he didn't want to show his head.

"Do you think you are Li Bai and Zhou Shuren? The new book is about to be sold, but it is not publicized, and even Teacher Tong Yonglie has to shout twice before the new book is published. If you really want to save trouble in the future, then actively move now, and when you become the most powerful author in the science fiction industry, readers and the media will automatically help you. Chen Jiaxuan pointed out Lin Han's wishful thinking to the point, and only by returning to the cold reality can it be true.

The most powerful singer in the entertainment industry has to shout on various channels when he releases a new album and the actor's new movie is on the market, for a newcomer in the science fiction industry, he actually wants to be lazy, and the beautiful agent says no.

Lin Han was out of options, so he had to nod and say, "OK, but you should at least discuss it with me, we don't need to go to some interviews." ”

"I'll pay attention, I'll communicate with you in advance next time, but you go to sleep now, recuperate and meet with a reporter from Yanjing Daily tomorrow." ”

"Bye, I'll see you tomorrow, I'm going to sleep. ”

Closing the door with a bang, Lin Han almost squinted his eyes and fell back into the bed, it feels so good to have heating, and he doesn't have to worry about any problems at all throughout the winter.

But after being tossed in this way, he sadly found that he could no longer sleep, and could only roll on the bed for a while.

Stacking the two pillows together, Lin Han simply took out the mobile phone at the bedside, eliminated the red number prompt on the text message, and clicked into the online pre-sale of "I, Robot".

In the early hours of the morning, Douban Reading and Amazon, Dangdang.com, and Tiangu.com launched the pre-sale work of "I, Robot" at the same time, among which Douban Reading is more special, it only sells books and e-books, and the other three are the most popular comprehensive online shopping websites.

Due to the lack of pirates, the sales momentum of books in online stores is very good, and consumers often choose to buy books online, which is convenient and affordable, and there are always discounts and promotions.

The simplified version of "I, Robot" has been pre-sold on four websites, and more than 18,000 people have made reservations and paid to wait for the receipt of the goods at this point with seven days to go until the New Year's Day.

As soon as the website receives the goods, it will be packaged and mailed to these 18,000 readers as soon as possible, and two beautiful posters specially printed by the publisher will be attached.

It seems that the pre-sales of these 18,000 copies do not seem to be much, and they are scattered across four websites, with an average of only four or five thousand each, which is obviously far from the best-seller.

But only in combination with the list data can we know how difficult this number is, the original online pre-sales volume is generally only about 10% of the total sales, and the opening of online sales is basically for publicity, not really to sell hundreds of thousands of books.

If there are 18,000 copies pre-sold online, the total sales volume can almost be confirmed to be more than 100,000 copies, which can greatly enhance the confidence of publishers, so that they can adjust the printing quantity and distribution conditions according to market guidance at any time.

The thing that excites Lin Han the most is this, this is only more than ten hours of data, he has a week to wait for the pre-sale number to increase, maybe now those who go to work and go to school have no time to go online, they have to wait until the evening to place an order.

At this time, the first place on the pre-sale list is a youth literature, called "The Best of Us 2", written by the popular writer Xiao Yunpeng, this is a sequel novel, after the huge fans of the previous book, this book and "I, Robot" launched pre-sales at the same time, but the number of pre-sales on the collection of four websites has exceeded 80,000 copies, which shows the purchasing power of its fans.

There are a large number of new books on the shelves on New Year's Day, so it is impossible to give up such a publicity point as an online bookstore, many people even like to find books on the Internet, and then go to the bookstore to inquire after seeing the price, and can stay on the front page of the online bookstore, and can be on the pre-sale list That is a huge publicity, which can save a lot of publicity funds.

Unexpectedly, the second place on the pre-sale list is the most popular online fantasy novel at present, even though it has been serialized on the Internet for more than a million words, but this "Sword and Magic 5" still attracted more than 70,000 reservations, and the charm of online writers is not small.

The pre-sale of 18,000 people is a little worse than the two strongest books, but it is much better than the rest of the books, "I, Robot" ranks 8th on the Douban reading pre-sale list, 10th on the Amazon book pre-sale list, and Dangdang and Tiangu.com are both 10th on the new book pre-sale list!

Lin Han is not a well-known writer, nor does he have an amazing previous work, let alone accumulate popularity in online serialization, and even he comes from science fiction literature with a small readership.

Such a niche book, landing in the top ten on the pre-sale list is basically the treatment of a science fiction god, like Li Wenyuan's best result when he wrote the science fiction masterpiece "Out of the Solar System" is the 5th place on the pre-sale list.
