Chapter 46: A sense of anticipation is overwhelming

(It's a new week soon.,Ask for recommendation tickets and collections during the new book period~~)

The huge publicity can be said to be quite eye-catching, and "Science Fiction World" has teamed up with Renmin University Publishing House, Douban Reading and Chen Jiaxuan's studio to make the publicity of a niche book known to passers-by.

Originally, many people didn't know about this book, but now after seeing such news and posts, they can't help but keep the title of the book in mind, even if they can't buy it now, there are always so many people who will go to the bookstore to ask.

"I, Robot", which is scheduled to be sold nationwide at the same time on New Year's Day, seems to be the hottest novel in recent times, and many people are wondering what kind of novel this is, is the protagonist a robot?

Although there are relatively few science fiction novels with robots as the protagonists, it is not nothing, why this book can be called epoch-making, and what are the three laws of robots that have been repeatedly promoted.

Science fiction lovers can be said to be all kinds of confused, they have read so many books, how come they never know where the three laws of robots have appeared, could it be that the author is original?

This great tone of publicity has also made fans of other science fiction writers extremely dissatisfied, what is one of the best science fiction novels in history, what is the best science fiction in recent years, are you worthy?

They held back their energy, just waiting for the novel to go on the market and start squirting, a newcomer is so ashamed and epoch-making, why don't you go to heaven!

No matter what outsiders say, the time has quietly come to the day of the release of the new issue of "Science Fiction World", and those readers who have been whetted can't wait to rush to the newsstand and bookstore to snap it up.

With the hot situation last month, those staff in the operation department have long been prepared, and directly printed a million copies of the first copy, and then quickly sold out by dealers.

If successful, this issue of the magazine will sell more than one million copies, helping Science Fiction World win the title of best-selling magazine, thereby significantly increasing advertising revenue in 2017.

If it fails, it means that tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of magazines may be recycled and scrapped, which will affect the status of dealers.

For those dealers, only the magazines that sell are good magazines, and the magazines that can't be sold are useless.

The intensive advertising bombardment has already made readers wait for a long time, and many of them have an expectant and skeptical attitude to get their hands on this issue of "Science Fiction World", and then can't wait to read it.

The well-stocked newsstand almost witnessed the best-selling of Science Fiction World, and the thick stack of magazines that had been delivered at 5 a.m. was slowly thinning out, selling far faster than expected.

This is even faster than the sales rate of some magazines with a total sales of two or three million copies, even the readers, bosom friends, Yilin, these magazines that have been selling for one or two decades are not so strong on the first day, they mainly rely on long-term sales, and they have a whole month to sell slowly.

Although the sales of "Science Fiction World" are not as good as them, they are better than them in terms of explosiveness on the first day, which is the advantage of niche, and readers are loyal and cohesive, and often run to buy them on the first day of sales.

This is somewhat similar to the box office composition of fan movies, some of which tend to explode at the box office on the first day, and fans will burn off their long-built power on the first day, leaving them selling less and less the rest of the day.

Not only is the sales of print magazines increasing rapidly, but the number of genuine paid downloads on the Internet is also amazing, with more than 110,000 people buying the original edition in less than 24 hours!

This number is far stronger than the sci-fi world of the previous issue, although the total sales of that issue are leading, but it is a word-of-mouth fermentation type, and it is not like this on the first day.

The 110,000 paid downloads just reached the 15th place on the weekly sales chart, and since it's already the weekend, as long as the list is refreshed next Monday, the airborne championship is not a problem.

As a result, there was a miraculous thing in science fiction novels, and on the Douban reading weekly sales list, two issues of the magazine broke into the top 15!

The November issue ranked 11th with weekly sales of 190,000, which is already its fourth week on the list, thanks to the word-of-mouth fermentation of the article "Country Teacher", after being reprinted by many magazines, the total sales of the electronic version of the November issue of "Science Fiction World" are approaching the 1 million mark, and this is precisely the basic threshold for the top ten in the total sales list.

The same magazine, a month apart, actually appeared on the weekly sales list at the same time, which is something that has never happened to Douban Reading, and even those top magazines can't do it, but let a niche science fiction magazine do it.

If this is "Bosom Friend" or "Reader", then the media will not have the slightest shock, which is what it should have been, but this is exactly what happened to "Science Fiction World", so the audience can't help but be shocked.

Could it be that the golden age of science fiction is coming? The science fiction magazine, which has sold so well, has counterattacked all the way, which has shocked the attention of people in the industry, and at the same time strengthened the confidence of the responsible personnel of the National People's Congress Publishing House.

Good sales are naturally accompanied by good word-of-mouth, and readers who have already read the preface and first chapter of the novel "I, Robot" have expressed their opinions on the Internet and in reality.

"After opening the catalog, I saw "I, Robot", the three robot laws at the beginning deeply shocked me, this TM is too incisive, I think it is more suitable, if there is such a law, I am still worried about the robot mutiny!"

"The story is very novel, I thought the protagonist was a robot, but I didn't expect it to be speaking in the tone of an interview, the protagonist Susan is actually a robot psychologist, robots and psychology, my first thought was too funny. But it was very interesting, what the robot was thinking, so it attracted me to read on. The only drawback is that it's too short.,This actually has to be serialized for the next 8 issues.,It's going to torture me to death! ”

"Hang the bomb! I can't find any words to describe this novel, it's actually relatively simple, but the three rules of robotics in bold at the beginning, in bold font, almost made me faint. The robot can still be set up like this, it seems that the robot should be like this, the author is so good, I can't wait to see the rest of the article. I heard that the whole book was sold on New Year's Day, so I had to go to Xinhua Bookstore early to avoid being robbed. ”

"The writing is average, the story is top-notch, but the domineering law of opening the book makes me think this is probably the best setting ever. We have always used the settings and ideas of foreign science fiction writers, and now that we have the opportunity to spread the settings of our local science fiction writers, I must send this to American netizens to see. ”

"One issue of the magazine published such a little content, what a pit! The most important thing is that my brother actually fell into the pit.,Isn't this tempting me to buy the simplified version?,Fortunately, it only takes a few more days to buy it.。 ”

"At first, I thought that the publicity on the Internet was too exaggerated, and there were successors in the science fiction industry, and it was an epoch-making bullshit, but when I saw this beginning, I wanted to retract my thoughts. God, this is an article written by a newcomer to the science fiction world, and I think it will probably continue to circulate for decades to come. ”

"Robots can't hurt humans, they can't watch humans get hurt, they must obey human commands, and they have to protect themselves. Ring after ring, my brain was almost in the paste, and I had to think about it again. ”

The overwhelming praise almost buried Lin Han, the three laws of robots are only about 100 words, but the attraction is far more than the content of the text, which almost makes science fiction fans who know the goods crazy.
