Chapter 302: Phenomenal Writer
(Today's first update, ask for a subscription and a monthly pass!)
The overall pre-sale of the "Three-Body Problem" series is as high as 760,000 copies, and if it is concentrated in one book, it will break the pre-sale record, but this achievement will be divided by two books and a complete collection, so I can only sigh. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But no one can deny that "Three-Body Problem" will be the seed player of the annual sales champion in 2018, with bright pre-sales and hot sales on the first day, as long as the word-of-mouth can be on par with "Three-Body Problem 1", it is not a problem to maintain long-term sales!
The gods who have dominated the list for a long time are finally under pressure, especially those writers who are about to release books this year, and they don't want to see Lin Han, a newcomer, ascend to the throne so quickly.
There is still someone on last year's sales list who can hold him down, who will come this year?
Maybe it's useless for anyone to come, Lin Han's death-like two salvos failed to reduce his sales, and probably only Lin Han himself can beat him!
"Dark Forest" sold 110,000 copies on the first day, not including pre-sales, nor did it include up to 110,000 copies of e-book sales, which is better than "Death Eternal", because everyone reads books in order, and they don't suddenly run to see the finale and then watch the middle, although there are indeed such people.
God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, on New Year's Day, Lin Han occupied the top two positions on the sales list without any suspense, and the complete works of "Three-Body Problem" also stood proudly in the fifth place, plus "Jurassic Park", which is still on the list, he alone occupies four positions!
After this sales ranking chart was screenshotted by Lin Han's fans, it quickly spread on the Internet, and even some news reports are quoting this picture, science fiction is on the rise!
According to incomplete statistics, driven by Lin Han, more and more new authors have joined the army of science fiction writing, and there are not a few other authors who have crossed the border, and this gradually bigger cake has been seen by more and more people.
Probably Lin Han has also created a record that no one can surpass for the time being, since the release of "I, Robot" on New Year's Day last year, he has books hanging in the top ten of the best-selling list for a whole year!
Whenever the sales of his books began to decline, the news of the new book stimulated a wave of resurgence, and then the new book was released to replace another book, without any interruption at all.
Other writers are not so diligent in publishing books, and one book a year can be regarded as a model worker in the minds of readers, and there are not many writers like Lin Han who work hard.
Even if other authors publish novels that sell well, it's not so easy to stay in the top 10 on the highly competitive sales charts, and the top 10 on the weekly list are basically novels that have sold more than 300,000 copies!
Nowadays, there is a strong atmosphere of domestic literature, whether it is serious literature or popular literature, almost every day there are new works on the market, and all kinds of different works are on sale, and it is difficult enough for writers to maintain the top ten in a month, and it is unimaginable to maintain it for a year.
So when Lin Han's record was reported by the media, people really saw the shock brought by Lin Han, and Lin Han's cumulative sales have exceeded 10 million copies in the past year, which is the fastest writer to break through 10 million sales in history!
It took two years for the last person to complete the cumulative sales of 10 million, and Lin Han directly shortened it to one year, and without counting his overseas sales results, everyone knows that Lin Han's works are particularly popular around the world.
Zhou Pingping, the author of Xinhua Daily Telegraph, wrote a report specifically for Lin Han under the title of "Phenomenal Writer".
As a daily newspaper published by Xinhua News Agency, Xinhua Daily Telegraph is mainly based on comprehensive news written by Xinhua News Agency, and is known for a large number of fresh facts and sharp public opinion supervision reports.
"Literature is only good and bad, there is no pure or impure, serious or not serious. ”
Zhou Pingping wrote in the article: "In the minds of many people, there seems to be a wall between popular literature and serious literature, and it is difficult for popular literature to be valuable, and it is difficult for serious literature to have readers. Those who write popular literature are therefore despised as writers, and most of them are grandstanders, although they make a lot of money, but they rarely have real talents. And those who write serious literature are revered as writers, although they occupy the mainstream and can be condescending, they are inevitably high and low, so that they are shy.
If we follow this logic, the wall between popular literature and serious literature seems to be the market.
In people's understanding, whenever they see certain types of literary books selling well, they abandon them as if they were walking on them, and regard literature as a niche for their own amusement. It has also made best-selling literature and best-selling authors gradually reduced to derogatory terms.
However, Lin Han believes that the publishing and reading of the whole society are becoming more and more diversified, and readers can freely choose the literary works they are interested in reading according to their own needs, accumulation and education level.
And this eloquent young man is the phenomenal writer of the past year!"
A writer who has a lot of works, has been sold for a long time, has a large number of sales, and has a super bestseller or a "natural big book", with these factors, can be called a phenomenal writer.
However, such people do not appear every year, usually only one in a few years, and the market and readers need to brew.
What is a "Born to Be Big"?
For example, Lin Han, after he is now popular, he casually posts a Weibo, even if there is only one full stop or a picture, there may be thousands of comments below.
Another example is Haruki Murakami's desire to publish a book in Japan, even if there is only one word or even no word in the book, just printing his name on the cover, it may sell 100,000 copies in Japan.
Such a book is called a "natural book", which means that it is born with this amount!
"Lin Han has become a phenomenal writer, the secret is not only in his best-selling books, the secret is actually in every book!"
This report really made Lin Han popular in the literary circle, not every writer is qualified to be specially written on "Xinhua Daily Telegraph", and as far as Lin Han is concerned, he has no worries about sales, no shortage of awards, and high popularity, and is a veritable phenomenal writer.
What's more, the China Science Writers Association also intends to shape Lin Han into a benchmark, the average age of their members has reached more than 50 years old, if there is no new force to join, I am afraid that in ten or twenty years, this association will come to an end.
It's not that they don't want to attract science fiction writers to the association, it's that those writers can't hold up the wall, adhering to the principle of preferring lack to abundance, and can't let these people ruin the reputation of the association.
As a result, Lin Han has become a living advertisement, allowing more and more people with real talents to devote themselves to the cause of science fiction or popular science! )
