Chapter 494: Destroying the withering and decaying
No one cared about the news of the opening of Xinhua Bookstore, and people's attention was all focused on the title of Lin Han, who was the spokesperson for a while, and overseas promotion ambassador for a while!
Since the establishment of Xinhua Bookstore, it has not hired a spokesperson or promotion ambassador, and even if there are more private bookstores in the country, there is no one who can shake its position, so the focus is completely different this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"This must be Lin Han's boast over there, Xinhua Bookstore can afford to invite a spokesperson?"
"That's right, if you go to a North American bookstore to sign a sale, you dare to say that, and you're not afraid of being slapped in the face!"
"To tell you the truth, I like Mr. Lin a lot, but this statement is a bit scary, who can endorse Xinhua Bookstore?"
"Everything is still unknown, let's sit back and wait for the official announcement, don't jump to conclusions. ”
"Heheda, you said that Mr. Lin is not qualified to endorse, so you can give an example, do you want Mo Yan to endorse Xinhua Bookstore?"
"This can't be a press release sent by Mr. Lin, does Xinhua Bookstore need an endorsement?"
"Awesome, now Mr. Lin can be seen in cities large and small across the country, and both sides are the first to endorse it!"
The discussion on the Internet was so intense that even writers were a little incredulous that the always arrogant Xinhua Bookstore would hire a spokesperson, and that the spokesperson was not the Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan, which was even more surprising.
Many people doubt the authenticity of these news, this bookstore has not hired a spokesperson for decades, how can this news be released today, many people are looking forward to the plot reversal!
However, the reality disappointed them, and Xinhua Bookstore's official Weibo station came out and released the news: "Xinhua Bookstore's Los Angeles branch opened, and the spokesperson Lin Han detonated the audience with the English version of "Hyperion", and 500 copies have been sold within 3 hours of opening!"
This is not a label put on Lin Han by other media, but what Xinhua Bookstore itself admitted, which is equivalent to closing the coffin.
Lin Han really won the endorsement of Xinhua Bookstore!
This news spread quickly on the Internet, and other writers' endorsements are all kinds of goods, but Lin Han is good, he directly endorses a bookstore, what if people who don't like Lin Han still go to Xinhua Bookstore?
In fact, the bookstore doesn't need to advertise or anything, just give Lin Han a name, so that he can say this identity openly.
The comments who thought that Lin Han had put gold on their faces were speechless one by one, but they didn't expect that the endorsements that were claimed to be the most difficult to win were all successful!
It is estimated that in the future, when Lin Han becomes the spokesperson of PetroChina and Sinopec, there will be a group of people who believe it, what else can he not win?
It's easy not to endorse, and it's such a surprising thing that a generation of words says.
Xinhua Bookstore and Lin Han can be said to be a strong alliance, Lin Han's original book sales in China have already stood out from the crowd, and after Xinhua Bookstore stands behind him, the king of sales will almost not be shaken!
As long as the quality of his later novels can be maintained, it will definitely not be a matter of one or two days to continue to dominate, and it will probably become a nightmare for all writers in this era.
With Lin Han here, they may not even be qualified to compete for second and third place!
On the other hand, Lin Han also promoted Xinhua Bookstore's overseas business, to be honest, except for the Chinese who are very popular, foreign readers don't know that there is such a bookstore.
Lin Han became its spokesperson, and also signed in the bookstore, just such a move made Xinhua Bookstore successfully appear in major media around the world and the media on the east and west coasts of the United States, which is a public relations concern!
It just so happened that Xinhua Bookstore was launching its global strategy, and when it went to a place, it used Lin Han's books to open the way, first attracting local Chinese, then Lin Han's fans, and finally landing on the general public.
In fact, "Hyperion" is sold in major bookstores across the United States, and it is selling well in Chinatown today only because of Lin Han's book signing, but these readers will unconsciously browse the surrounding books or CDs and stationery while waiting for the signing, and the sales of other things have also increased a lot.
Xinhua Bookstore is definitely still mainly based on Chinese books, and many die-hard fans of Lin Han have bought a Chinese version of "Hyperion" to collect!
For the Chinese in the Los Angeles area, it was not easy for them to buy Chinese books in the United States in the past, although they could buy electronic versions online, but paper books could not be replaced after all, unless they used overseas to buy something, but the cost was obviously higher.
Now you can buy Chinese books at your doorstep, which is very convenient, and you can even order directly on the Los Angeles official website of Xinhua Bookstore, without having to go to great lengths to find someone to bring or send from China, saving a lot of money!
At this signing meeting, the fans of the North American branch of the Hanlin Academy came to cheer on them, both men and women wanted to take a photo with Lin Han after signing the name, and it was not easy to see Lin Han.
There are even Youtube bloggers who directly took their mobile phones to the bookstore and started the live broadcast, so that the rest of the readers in the world who can't come to the scene can try it!
Obviously, there is nothing in it, only one reader after another moving forward, and occasionally when Lin Han takes a photo with the reader, the audience can see Lin Han's true face from the video.
However, there was an endless stream of people who came to watch the live broadcast after hearing the news, and the popularity of this YouTube live broadcast room increased rapidly, and as the bloggers lined up to approach Lin Han, the people in the video became clearer and clearer!
……
Zhou Chen immigrated to the United States with his parents since he was a child, and he is now studying at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
He came to the United States at the age of five, but his learning of Chinese has never stopped, so he can speak Mandarin and understand Chinese. Since Lin Han's novels became popular in the United States, he was always the first to read through the Chinese version of the novel, but because it was inconvenient to buy physical books, Zhou Chen read the electronic version!
Now that Xinhua Bookstore has actually opened in Chinatown in Los Angeles, of course he wants to buy the missing complete works of Lin Han's science fiction classics at one time, and he is idle anyway, so he turned on his mobile phone and started live broadcasting.
Because this is the reason for the spontaneous live broadcast of fans, it is only circulated on a small scale within the Hanlin Academy, and almost all the people who watch the video are Lin Han's fans, and now it is the middle of the night in China, and there are night owls chatting in the comment area on the side in Chinese.
The mixed Chinese and English comment area was very interesting, and there were even other words that Zhou Chen couldn't understand, he slowly moved his body forward, watching himself get closer and closer to Lin Han!
"Hello Mr. Lin, I like your novels very much, and our school's science fiction association even appreciates your novels every week. ”
Zhou Chen said as he put the "Hyperion" in his hand on the table in front of Lin Han, and he did not take out the rest of the books in the backpack behind him without taking them out to sign.
Lin Han looked at Zhou Chen's mobile phone suspiciously, and he said, "I'm glad you can do that, which book do you like the most?"
"I like "The Three-Body Problem" the most, and of course "Jurassic Park" is also very good. Zhou Chen looked at Lin Han's signed name, and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm using my mobile phone to open the live broadcast of YouTube now, and many people are watching it, can you say hello to everyone?"
Lin Han grinned, he knew that no one would hold a mobile phone at him for no reason, since he was a fan, everything was easy to say, "Hello, everyone, I'm Lin Han." Now I am meeting you at the Xinhua Bookstore in Los Angeles, it is a bit strange to be on this kind of live broadcast for the first time, and I will have the opportunity to study it again next time!"
In the end, it is a signing meeting, not Zhou Chen's special live broadcast room, it is impossible for him to stay here for too long, this kind of presumptuous live broadcast is actually rejected by many stars, fortunately, Lin Han is better.
Lin Han, who continued to sign the sale here, thought that Zhou Chen was broadcasting live on those live broadcast platforms in China, and he was still thinking in his heart if someone would reward a few free fish balls......
……
After the signing was completed, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan played in Los Angeles for two days, as a tourist pastime, after all, Hollywood is still new to the two.
Unconsciously, the footsteps of November are quietly approaching, and Lin Han's "Time Traveler's Wife" has finally ushered in the time for listing after the full text of the serialization is completed!
Zhong Xuan, who has tied up Lin Han for a long time, can be regarded as relieved, his "Three Life Stones" will be less stared at and ridiculed if they are released early, after all, since the pre-sale, "Three Life Stones" has performed very badly.
In addition, because the novella "Red Rose and White Rose" is not a fantasy category, "Fantasy Age" co-founded by Lin Han and Li Wenyuan did not publish it, and handed it over to "Youth Digest" to reprint, which can be regarded as consistent with the overall attributes of that magazine.
It's just that the romance novel showdown that the media was keen on at the beginning has long since disappeared from suspense, and "The Time Traveler's Wife" has a pre-sale of 800,000 copies with the support of a group of die-hard fans and female readers!
This is obviously not the best result in Lin Han's history, but considering that this is his semi-transformed novel, it is obviously a surprise to have such a high pre-sale.
And Xinhua bookstores across the country have also begun to gradually exert their strength, and now is the honeymoon period for Lin Han to cooperate with them, since Lin Han has brought so much attention, they have also reciprocated by handing over the best positions and display shelves in their respective stores to "The Time Traveler's Wife"!
The pre-sale of "Sansheng Stone" can be described as miserable, losing the original reader's support, and there is no reputation in the eyes of neutral readers, waiting for it may be a one-day tour of the bookstore, and from the day of the official sale, the pre-sale has been less than 100,000 copies.
You must know that the total sales of Zhong Xuan's last book "Twin Flowers" are several million, and it stands to reason that the pre-sale of the sequel cannot be only so little, who asked him to die with Zhanlan Culture and wanted to post Lin Han's propaganda upside down, but it turned out to steal chickens and rice, but instead made a best-selling novel into what it is now on the street, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it!
