Chapter 440: Born at the wrong time
This day is very long and difficult for people who pay attention to the book market, no matter how hot the outside world is about Lin Han's new book, its sales are really there, and it can't be black if you want to go black!
After Lin Han bought two books from the bookstore, he drove to his villa to check the progress of the renovation, and he estimated that he would move over with Chen Jiaxuan in the fall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Considering the weather, he also bought a lot of cold drinks and cigarettes from the roadside supermarket and handed them to these sweaty renovation workers, making it not so easy to make money.
From design to construction, this company is in charge, so Lin Han just saw them busy heating the floor when he was in the past, and it will be floor heating in the future!
Just after talking to the construction workers here, Zhao Han from the National People's Congress Publishing House called to inform him of the good news.
"Congratulations, just now on today's data on the official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication, the sales of "Resident Evil" have exceeded 100,000 copies, and 250,000 copies are expected to be sold today!"
Because of the national network, the sales of books can be accurately grasped, but the aggregation of these data needs to be processed slowly, and it is only three o'clock in the afternoon, and bookstores generally do not close until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and there can be a sales peak!
According to the previous rule, if the data displayed now is 100,000 copies, it should actually sell 150,000 copies, with a coefficient of 1.5, which has been the consensus of everyone for a long time.
"It's not bad, there are 250,000 copies, and not many people should buy it today and Monday. Lin Han is still very satisfied with this number, he can sell so much on weekdays, and it should be able to rise slightly by the weekend!
"Resident Evil" does not have much prominence in literature, and now Lin Han does not need to use a famous book to prove his writing ability, this is purely a little preparation for transformation.
He didn't expect to sweep all kinds of literary awards with "Resident Evil", and suddenly expanding the field of writing might be unbearable for readers, so he used this kind of work mixed with multiple elements as a buffer!
Zhao Han laughed, he was frightened a few days ago, signing Lin Han made him an envied and jealous existence in the publishing industry, when the pre-sale of "Resident Evil" was sluggish, but many people were snorting in front of him, and now that it is sold on the first day, it is his turn to show off!
"In fact, your readership potential has not yet fully exploded, and no one knows what the book is like. Amazon's paid downloads have also exploded!"
In the Amazon Kindle online bookstore, Lin Han has always been the leader in the industry, whether it is physical book sales or e-book downloads, his novels are almost in a state of dominance.
Now the first place on the weekly list is his new book "Resident Evil", the second place is "The Ferryman", the third place is "Island Bookstore", "Inception" and "Three-Body Problem 2: Dark Forest" are in four or five places, and the complete works of "Three-Body Problem" are also ranked tenth!
"Bouquet for Algernon" and "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" can only roam around the weekly charts, and "Jurassic Park" can still be downloaded thousands of times this week, despite being released this time of year!
In other words, on the Kindle paid download list, four of the top ten books are Lin Han's, if you count the top 20, it will be more, and the top 50 include all his novels!
In the field of physical books, Lin Han is far from having such a strong dominance, but in terms of e-books, his opponents are almost none, and books that have been published for more than a year or seven or eight months can tenaciously rush the sales of the weekly and monthly lists, which can only make other authors greedy.
Lin Han and the Amazon Kindle online bookstore complement each other, and many people buy Kindle readers because of Lin Han and officially join the ranks of e-book reading.
And these people who bought readers also supported the genuine version, many people are two-handed, buy physical books for collections, and then pay to download e-books for daily reading, each doing its job!
If in the fiction section, Lin Han can only be called half of the country, then in the science fiction e-book in the subsection of the fiction section, there is no shadow of the rest of the writers at all!
The top ten best-selling books are almost all Lin Han's, this science fiction classification seems to exist for him alone, occasionally "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", "Journey to the Center of the Earth" or "Out of the Solar System" trilogy will rush to the top five, but the championship has always belonged to Lin Han, and no one can snatch it!
These science fiction writers seemed to be born at the wrong time under Lin Han's strong appeal, and the attention and love of readers were almost all concentrated on him alone, and the rest of the science fiction writers could only taste a little taste from Lin Han's fingers.
If it weren't for Lin Han expanding the science fiction market alone, they wouldn't know how to arrange Lin Han, even if they can't win the championship and can't get the top three sales in the science fiction category, but the overall sales have increased significantly compared to two years ago!
Before Lin Han came out, the sales of science fiction novels could be described as a mess, and even the leader at that time, "Out of the Solar System", sold a total of one million copies, which has become a major event celebrated by the entire science fiction circle.
Ordinary science fiction writers have more than 450,000 copies, less than 100,000 copies, and there are many people whose books are of good quality, but no bookseller is willing to publish them.
Now, if the total sales of a science fiction novel are only four or five hundred thousand copies, then the results are very average, and the overall standard is raised!
Once there is a good science fiction novel, those book publishers have to fight for it, under the shroud of Lin Han's sun, although their shine is small, but the total sales of more than one million books have also been released.
However, the only thing that can be widely disseminated by the media and readers is Lin Han's novel!
As long as he is still writing books for a day, he will press on everyone's heads like a big mountain, so that they will not have the slightest ambition to surpass Lin Han.
If you can write a novel of the same grade as "The Three-Body Problem", it will be enough to leave a name in history, but Lin Han has written so many in one go, not only high quality but also large quantity!
Born in this brilliant era, Lin Han is lucky, he carried the banner of science fiction alone, but he didn't want to be confined to the field of science fiction forever, so he had a new book to explore the rest of the genre.
The success of "Resident Evil" also reassured him, even if the unpleasant zombie novel incorporates action-adventure, horror and suspense and many other elements, he can still get good results, and he has not gone wrong on this path! )
