The outside world can't see the final sales results of the two books, they can only rely on the New York Times bestseller list, and since "Interstellar" is number one, it is the winner!

A generation of newcomers replaced the old, and James Patterson became a stepping stone for Lin Han, adding a strong stroke to his brilliant novel resume!

Millions of office workers in the United States who were driving to work heard a series of media such as VOA (Voice of America) and Good Morning America quickly delivered the news they had just posted to their ears. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Good morning, Chicago residents. It's another sunny morning, with a slight breeze, and Jack Bryan brings you the latest news broadcast! The New York Times announced last week's bestseller list, and the new book "Interstellar" by Chinese science fiction writer Lin Han won the first place, pressing the veteran author James Patterson's "Speed Angel" on his body. Hey, James, next time you can find Lin Han to co-sign it, so that you can win the championship!"

The American spirit of entertainment is very admirable, and it is clear that James Patterson has been defeated, but the radio host does not let him go at all, but continues to sarcastically collaborate with others on every book.

Although foreigners outperformed natives, this was not a big deal in the eyes of the American media, so they didn't criticize Lin Han too much.

Everyone is happy to hear about this kind of topical news, and there is no mercy in reporting.

"James Patterson misses out on the championship, 'Interstellar' takes the first place!"

"Chinese science fiction writers bring new works to defeat the old best-selling kings, and a new king in the book sales industry is born!"

"Lin Han, the outpost of the world's authors' income list, won the award, and the New York Times called his work magnificent and delicate!"

""Speed Angel" lost to "Interstellar", and two sci-fi works won the championship!"

"The results of the Battle of the Heavenly Kings have been announced, and Lin Han has reached the top with "Interstellar"!"

……

When the bestseller list was announced in North America, it also touched the heart of the other side of the ocean all the time, after all, this is Lin Han's work, and how he won the away game was quite concerned.

So as soon as the results were revealed, they were immediately reprinted and widely reported, and at this time, the country was still just entering the night, and everyone was waiting.

Lin Han looked at the message on his phone, and he said to Chen Jiaxuan, who was sitting on pins and needles next to him: "We won!"

"Really?" The worry on Chen Jiaxuan's face suddenly disappeared and became excited, "Quickly show me the results." ”

After handing her the phone, Lin Han also breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he himself did not have any ill feelings towards James Patterson, and this battle of Tianwang Mountain was just a gimmick hyped by the media.

Of course, when all the conditions are far inferior to the opponent, he can still be overturned, so I am quite proud to think about it, after all, this is the work I brought from the earth!

Chen Jiaxuan's originally calm mood couldn't help but get excited again after seeing the specific numbers of the two works, "Speed Angel" and "Interstellar" both stopped in front of 5 million copies, compared to their huge sales, it was the 60,000 copies that ultimately decided the winner.

This victory did not come easily!

"It's so hanging, it's just a little bit close. ”

Lin Han is also very fortunate to have won James Patterson in the United States, which has to be celebrated.

In particular, he calculated a little in his heart, North America sold 4.81 million copies, Chinese mainland also sold 4.45 million copies, if you count 580,000 copies in Australia, 1.8 million copies in Britain and Europe, it seems that the total sales of his "Interstellar" have exceeded 10 million!

For an author like Lin Han, who is becoming more and more famous the more he writes, the sales gap between his first book and the latest book may be very large, just like an online author.

The popularity of each book gradually increases, maybe the first book only had 800 subscriptions, but recently this book has 20,000 subscriptions, which is not unusual!

Once successful, the Matthew effect comes into play, the stronger the stronger, and Lin Han blatantly surpasses the former first place.

At this time, the Internet was also boiling, Lin Han won the first place, although netizens couldn't get the money, they had a common sense of honor, and they were all happy for Lin Han!

"Teacher Lin is powerful and domineering, I don't know if I can surpass that guy on the income list this year. ”

"I don't know what to say, it's very powerful anyway!"

"Now that you beat that guy head-on, no one doubts Mr. Lin's popularity anymore, right? Some sunspots are talking nonsense with their eyes open, Mr. Lin's popularity in Europe and the United States is no worse than that in China, haven't you seen many foreign netizens running to Weibo to find Mr. Lin's news!"

"Before I could exert my strength, you fell. This sentence is the best portrayal, Mr. Lin didn't go to the United States to promote it at all, so he won the championship in such a daze!"

"This is Mr. Lin's first championship novel?"

"The foreshadowing of "Interstellar" is too deep, and when I see that five-dimensional space, the whole person thinks about it, one ring after another, this ghost is actually himself!"

"I'm blind, don't spoil the upstairs, I just saw the middle!"

……

Alex got the final list of statistics from his friends in the New York Times, and this document even details the sales and sales of each bookstore.

After making a horizontal comparison with statistical software, he found that the key to Lin Han's victory was not the 700,000 copies led by Amazon, but the 80,000 books from Xinhua Bookstore!

In Xinhua Bookstore, "Interstellar" is the main hit of the main game, after all, Lin Han is their spokesperson, and quite a lot of Chinese people have come to support them with their families, even if they don't read the book at all.

Although Xinhua Bookstore does not have many branches in North America, Chinese Americans and international students have played a considerable role, and various hometown associations have been in operation, making concerted efforts to sell 80,000 copies.

In comparison, "Speed Angel" sold less than 2,000 copies in Xinhua Bookstore!

If it weren't for the outbreak of Xinhua Bookstore, "Interstellar" would not have been able to lead "Speed Angel" by 60,000 copies, and Lin Han as the spokesperson is really good!

In the first week, it was explosive, and then it was about staying power, and now the word-of-mouth of both books has come out, but it has shown diametrically opposite reactions.

Previously, "Speed Angel" sent the trial book to the majority of book reviewers and column critics, and the early reputation was very good, and almost all of them applauded when readers did not see the book.

For example, the school library daily commented: "This is an exciting reading experience, with a suspenseful plot that gritted your teeth and even watched it, vivid battle scenes, and terrifying genetic experiments, and readers can fly freely in the huge story!"

Joshua, a well-known book reviewer, wrote in a blog: "This novel can only be judged by its wonderful. 20% funny, 20% suspense, 20% surprise, plus 40% action. ”

The Charlotte Observer also gave a high evaluation, "This book is visually strong and full of pictures, which children crave to see from games, television, and action movies." ”

At first glance, it seems that the reputation of "Speed Angel" is quite rebellious, but after readers buy the book back and read it, they find that it is not as wonderful as the book reviews say!

Many readers have a feeling of being deceived, and it is true that this is a good novel, but it is still far from the masterpiece in the book review, some people love it very much, but some people directly scold it on social media.

The anger of teenagers is not small, and they have been deceived like this, so they can't bear it!

Even some book reviewers are getting into action, and they're happy to see their peers who have previously published book reviews suffer, so it's not a big deal to fall into the trap one by one.

""Speed Angel" is a typical assembly line novel, his writing skills are far inferior to that of money, although the structure is exquisite, the descriptive text is very small, the chapters are very short, and the whole story is not spread out. He seems to have exhausted all ideas, the novel has quite a lot of flaws, first of all, the protagonist of the novel, Max, is an annoying, confusing person, and the male protagonist Fang is her assistant to save the world, overusing clichéd plots to make readers feel excited, I'm afraid most of the previous five-star reviews have come from people who haven't read the book, as long as you read the book, you will agree with me! I really don't recommend buying this book, if you want to know what the book is about, just go straight to the Wikipedia synopsis. Please save money to buy the rest of the books!"

"Speed Angel" is a children's science fiction novel, but it has not received a good response in all aspects of word-of-mouth, although the sales reached 4.75 million copies, but the follow-up seems to have begun to collapse!

On the contrary to this book, the praise of "Interstellar" came one after another, no one knew whether the book was good or not before the official release of the novel, and when the week passed, many people who bought the book couldn't help but praise it, and even recommended it to their friends.

The Chicago Post gave it a perfect score, writing: "This is a true science fiction novel, with a hard science fiction core, a grand description of the universe, and a moving family relationship." ”

Lucas, a well-known book reviewer, commented in a column in the New York Times: "Lin Han used a science fiction novel to make me believe that love really exists! Love is a kind of power, let us perceive it beyond time and space!" The first chapters of the novel describe a world full of apocalyptic wasteland wind, leading the reader's emotions to gradually enter the world of the novel, and then the protagonist Cooper and a group of teammates embark on an interstellar voyage to save the earth.

Word-of-mouth is a long and bad thing, a novel that releases a good review first may not have the last laugh, a novel that does not release a book review is not necessarily a bad work, and the long-term blockbuster of "Interstellar" has just begun!
