Can Lin Han's book sales be speculated with common sense?

With these doubts, "Hyperion" has entered the official sales market in anticipation, and it will be known if it is a mule or a horse!

If its pre-sale results are real, then the sales volume will never be too low, and the market is like a demon mirror, and the water-filled book will eventually show its original form. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, the "People" magazine, which had previously gone to Yanjing to interview Lin Han, was long overdue, and Lin Han appeared on the cover of this world-famous magazine, and Jamie gave him the title "Americans' Favorite Chinese Writers"!

This is not the first time that Lin Han has landed on the cover of an international magazine, even the most difficult magazine "Time" has been taken down, and although "People" is happy this time, it is not surprising enough.

However, it is indispensable for the media to reprint the report, because unlike Time magazine, the cover of People magazine seems to have never been on the cover of People magazine purely Chinese!

Those who can shoot the cover of "People" magazine are all top superstars in Hollywood, and what they need is popularity, not status or something, and whether they are popular or not is the only criterion.

Due to the lack of top actors of Chinese stars in Hollywood, they have not made achievements in this area, but I didn't expect that this gap was filled by marginal people in the entertainment industry!

The achievements that many domestic actors, queens, kings and queens have not been able to achieve, Lin Han seems to have filmed quietly, and no rumors were revealed in the middle.

In other words, if it is any celebrity who can be on the cover of "People" magazine, which symbolizes popularity, then if it is not hype, it will have to be pushed along the river to post a few more news, where will he be as indifferent as Lin Han!

On this day, not only the colleagues in the literary world were jealous of Lin Han, but even the transcendent big names in the entertainment industry also regretted it, thinking that Lin Han had wasted such a good opportunity.

This news quickly spread in the entertainment gossip news, and was directly released as a news headline by many authoritative media, with a frighteningly high exposure rate, even many people who don't care much about the news know that Lin Han continues to open up in an unfamiliar field!

A bookwriter has been stealing the limelight from others for a long time, which is simply about to collapse those brokerage companies, and also makes his own artists not attract fans, and finally wants to buy some water army to build momentum, but when he encounters Lin Han, a demon, he can't cry.

Even the water army can't kill Lin Han's popularity, and he feels that the money has been spent in vain!

"People" magazine is actually a vane of the entertainment industry, and gossip magazines all over the world have paid attention to it, you must know that every move of Hollywood stars is influential in the world, and now Lin Han is also stepping forward with one foot.

……

In New York, USA, Scarlett, who works for a trading company in Manhattan, bought a copy of "People" at the newsstand at the subway entrance, which is her favorite entertainment magazine, which is more suitable for office workers like her than many nonsensical gossip newspapers, at least not to be looked down upon.

It's just that the cover of this issue makes her puzzled, every previous issue is Hollywood's top superstars, such as Brad Pitt, Prince William and Princess Kate, Sandra Bullock or the new generation of Taylor Swift, Adele, Justin Bieber and others, why is this a young yellow-skinned Asian man in front of him?

Scarlett looked at the cover in the elevator and said to herself, "Did I buy a fake magazine?"

In the elevator, which was not crowded, several strangers also looked at the cover of the magazine, and no one seemed to recognize the man.

Seeing that she was about to be late, Scarlett hurried to her desk, threw People magazine aside, and got busy first!

At this time, her manager Bruce passed by in a suit, and after his eyes looked at Lin Han on the cover, he said, "Hi, sweetheart, you also like to read Lin's novels, he is simply amazing!"

Scarlett looked confused, because of the relaxed working environment, she often joked with Bruce, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates was very harmonious, "No! I don't know this guy at all, I don't even understand why he appeared in People magazine!"

"Wait a minute, then why are you buying it?" Bruce is a new Lin Han fan, and at this time he took the initiative to popularize science: "He is the best science fiction writer in China, you should really read his novels, he is very well written, even our president is reading his novels." ”

"But I don't like science fiction, so he'll write romance novels one day. Scarlett listened to Bruce's words before she remembered, it turned out that she knew that this young handsome Asian guy didn't have his books in her husband's study?

Even because I want to read Lin Han's novels, my husband forgets the daily dates that I can't move every week, and when I speak, it's a god's chatter or something, Scarlett suddenly realized, no wonder this guy can be on the cover, and his own family has also contributed to sales, and he is really American's favorite Chinese author!

Bruce had itchy hands, he smiled at the corners of his mouth, picked up the "People" magazine in front of him and flipped through it, "Since you don't like him, how about you lend me the magazine first?" ”

"Take it, you men like his book, is it that good?"

"Needless to say, if you read his books carefully, you will like them too. I recommend you check out "Bouquet for Algernon", it's the best science fiction for women!"

Scarlett carefully wrote down the name, planning to go back and look for it in her study, maybe she could find the book.

People magazine can rank in the top 10 sales in the United States, which is a remarkable number, which means that millions of readers have seen the cover of Lin Han and read his interview!

As long as a very small number of people can be attracted, then it is not in vain for Fehringham to accept this interview in a foreign country.

……

With the launch of "Hyperion" and the cover of "People" magazine, Lin Han firmly attracted attention from all directions, and at the same time fed back the shock!

will be at the top of the mountain, and now it is the most appropriate portrayal of Lin Han.

Even if the first day of release is Saturday, there is almost no suspense about this week's sales champion, and the pre-sales of "Hyperion" are over there, plus 320,000 copies on the first day of Saturday and 250,000 copies on the weekend, it has changed its total sales from zero to 2.15 million copies!

In just two days, the sales of this novel, which has been fully exposed, have increased greatly because of word of mouth, and the plot in it can be seen, all of which have been tested by netizens and book reviewers.

Even those who hesitate have made a good choice at this time, starting to serialize in August, ending in September, and now publishing at the end of September, enough time to filter fans and readers!

Now Lin Han is not deliberately chasing any first-week sales records or first-month sales records, if you really want to break the record, you should set the sales time on October 1, so that it is a complete month.

Although this first-day sales of 300,000 seem to be a lot, considering that there are so many bookstores up and down the country, on average, each bookstore actually sells not many novels!

Not to mention the rest of the bookstores, Xinhua Bookstore alone has more than 15,000 in the country, as long as there is a Xinhua bookstore, you can see Lin Han's science fiction novels, and even overseas branches have the Chinese version of "Hyperion" for sale.

Some overseas Chinese can buy Lin Han's Chinese novels in Flushing, Brooklyn, San Diego, New Jersey and even London, because Xinhua Bookstore's overseas expansion is slowly opening!

The most well-known Chinese books overseas are famous books, and the rest is of course Lin Han, which is a business card played by Xinhua Bookstore, using Lin Han's novels to attract local Chinese and foreigners.

It is said that it is now the cold winter of physical publishing, and the sales of each of Lin Han's books are slowly increasing, from hundreds of thousands of copies at the beginning, to more than one million copies have to be celebrated, and now the pre-sales are more than one million.

Many best-selling authors are facing a trend of declining sales, and Lin Han has reached the peak of best-selling authors, but his curve is still slowly going up, and it seems that this is not his limit!

……

"Damn, I seriously doubt that we are not in the same dimension, why is the general environment falling, and he is the only one who rises. ”

Meng Yun, a writer who takes the route of physical publishing, complained in the group of writers that physical publishing has become more and more difficult in recent years, and if it weren't for the fact that the adaptation rights could be sold, many writers would have been flustered.

Chen Kai, another writer who writes officialdom novels, also sighed, "Don't compare with him, otherwise you will be so depressed that you want to die." Now officialdom novels are not easy to sell, I might as well write chicken soup novels, you look at the recent new book list, except for Lin Han's science fiction, chicken soup novels occupy almost half of the country!"

Meng Yun looked at the screenshots thrown out by Chen Kai, the first place was of course "Hyperion", and the second place was "When Your Talent Can't Support Your Dreams", "Your so-called stability is just a waste of life", "How to become a very powerful person", "Hey, thirty years old", "Who has never been injured, who has not been confused".

On the best-selling list of this new book, half of them belong to inspirational chicken soup texts, and the proportion of literary books keeps declining, if it weren't for Lin Han's "Hyperion" and "Resident Evil" to save a little face, the face of the literary world would have been lost!

There is a popular saying on the Internet, "Chicken soup is poor for three generations, inspirational and ruins life", but the booming sales of such books do show that they can meet the needs of some readers, get close to the lives of young people, seize social hot spots, and even if they can't strengthen their muscles and bones, they can also be enjoyable.

In the past, writers in the literary world often despised Lin Han for keeping up with sales, but now they have to put him in his own category, so as to ensure that the top of the new book bestseller list is a literary work!

Fortunately, on e-books, literary works almost throw off the chicken soup text, and readers of e-books focus more on leisure reading than drinking chicken soup.

Directly comparing the annual sales list, Lin Han's advantage is even more obvious, on the best-selling list of novels for nearly ten months this year, it is still dominated by long-term sales books such as "Inception", and the previous chicken soup or IP boom books are nowhere to be seen.

Although many IP books can sell well with the release of movies, TV series or online dramas, the duration of hot sales is relatively limited, and from a long-term time perspective, the sales of these short-term bestsellers are still not as good as long-selling literary books!

Among the top ten works on the annual list, several of Lin Han's novels have appeared strongly, and now this "Hyperion" also has the momentum to hit the list, who made the tenth "Pilgrimage" on the annual list only have a total sales of 4.1 million.

Now that "Hyperion" is already more than two million, and there are still three months to go, it shouldn't be difficult to catch up, after all, the reputation of this book is far better than the rest of the novels, and it is expected to achieve a lore at the last moment!

Cutting-edge writers can grasp the current hot topics and readers' preferences to create super-best-selling works, but traditional writers seem to be a little out of the market, they can't grasp the changes in the times and readers' reading habits.

Now is the worst era of literature, but it is the best era of science fiction literature, and the knowledge level of readers has been greatly improved, and the receptivity has improved completely from the previous decades!

The older generation of intellectuals, middle-aged people in the prime of life, energetic young people, and even students in schools are all readers of Lin Han, and the progress of science fiction literature can even be seen with the naked eye.

……

After the official sale, "Hyperion" can finally open the comment of Douban reading, and the first day of the opening of this entry was squeezed into it by surging fans.

When Weibo was first serialized, there were many people who wanted to score or write short reviews, and now this small wish can finally be realized.

Many people even copied the previously written book reviews and sent them to the long comment area of this novel as soon as possible, but because some people impersonated and pasted the book reviews written by others under their own names, they didn't even write the author's source clearly, and it also caused several disputes!

The Douban score was as high as 9.5 for the first time, with 38,000 people participating in the rating, of which 75% were given five-star ratings and only 0.1% were given one-star ratings.

Many sunspots want to give bad reviews, but they are reluctant to spend money, because now Douban Reading is allowed to give evaluations according to the actual coding behind each book!

Even if it is the electronic version purchased, it has a unique code in the world, which cannot be reused after being used once, which can be used to ensure the authenticity of the score and can also be used to prevent theft.

Only people who have read the novel are qualified to evaluate, whether it is a bad review or a good review, at least those are people who have really read it, and no one will dislike the title of the book or hate the author and give a bad review directly, which is a very irresponsible performance!

"This is a famous space opera, one of the most vast and magnificent interstellar epics, full of authentic stories of characters who face difficult moral choices: the end is approaching, the universe is full of smoke, and seven pilgrims who are on their way to the tomb of time on Hyperion share stories of each other's past. The book is composed of six different stories, each of which narrates the connection between them and the shrike bird, reveals the history of the earth over the past seven centuries, and reveals the relationship between the shrike bird and the future of mankind, and transmits the swan song of the universe for hundreds of millions of years!"

The synopsis of this work looks very fascinating, and the plot and text after Lin Han's overhaul have been upgraded to a higher level, and the connection between each story is also closer, so there are many people who plan to wait to read it again before speaking.

They want to know how the revised work has changed from the previous work, and Rao is amazing enough!

On the author's profile, the achievements listed by Douban Reading made Lin Han embarrassed, what swept the world's science fiction awards, won the Hugo Award for a second time, won the Best Screenplay Award at the Venice Film Festival, and the global sales exceeded 30 million copies, etc., all of which made people who had never paid attention to Lin Han stunned, there are still such awesome people in China?

What is the concept of 30 million books, I am afraid that the accumulation is as high as several Mount Everest!

The thinking cat commented: "The epic of the individual constitutes an epic of the universe, breathtaking!"

Hyperion has given "Hyperion" a five-star rating, "telling all the known and unknown stories that human beings can tell in the flow and counterflow of time." Thank you Mr. Lin for dedicating such an incredible novel!"

"The story is amazing, the most important thing is the majestic and profound language quality and writing style, the science fiction novel has been written into a literary work, next time we will not win the science fiction award, support Mr. Lin to win the literary award!"

"It must be five stars, the story of the priest shocked me to the point that I couldn't sleep all night, the story of the scholar made me cry until I was in a hurry, and the story of the consul contained infinite sacrifice, courage, and determination under the light narration, and the final plot reversal when there was zero accident was just the finishing touch, corresponding to the beginning of the book, and successfully connecting all six stories together, achieving such an immortal work!"

"You are all so amazing, anyway, I only have a few words to describe after reading it, it's so good-looking, it's too awesome, it's too brain-burning!"

"Great science fiction, a literary classic that will last forever!"

Five-star reviews appear in the entries, and "Hyperion" attracts this group of discerning readers with its extraordinary charm!

Good word-of-mouth is accompanied by good sales, perhaps due to the lack of good books in the previous month or two, the market malaise, and the accumulated power suddenly exploded on the side of "Hyperion".

Obviously Monday was the time when the novel's sales fell, but it stubbornly stabilized its sales at 180,000 copies, and on Tuesday it rose back to 200,000 copies, and in the following days, there were good news in major cities across the country, and sales exceeded 1.51 million copies in the second week!

In two weeks, the Chinese version of "Hyperion" actually sold 3.66 million copies, which is actually 9 days plus 7 days of pre-sales!

This result is obviously extremely good, even when the book market is at its hottest, it is not easy to reach this number, not to mention that the current environment is not good.

Lin Han has personally created a legend, an unexpected literary world!
