A week later, "The Twilight Zone" suddenly became the number one bestseller in New York, selling a full 480,000 copies, which is nothing short of a miracle.

At this time, many media outlets have become a sensation, and many readers who were originally reluctant to watch lace news were also hooked.

When I turned on the computer, I found that there were not many people who scolded the book for being ugly, and there were many praises, and the comments were still increasing. This is obviously not something that half a million dollars can lure. There's only one reason for that—it's just that the book is really good.

"My God, I didn't expect 'Twilight' to win the first week of September."

New York Times has a tradition of publishing best-selling books, and many media outlets like to refer to the New York Times bestseller list when they read best-selling books.

Now "Twilight" has skyrocketed within its first week of release, topping the New York Times bestseller list.

A Chinese novel is so eye-catching, and the books of the original best-selling authors in the United States have been pressed down by it.

Trying to figure out how appealing the book really is, the press tracked the questionnaire and found that "Twilight" was especially popular among teenagers. It is rare for a male author to be so loyal to love and describe such a beautiful love story.

But books are now popular, and some rumors have also been born.

"This kind of best-selling is very uninteresting and not worth the fuss, it uses a common tactic, in other words, it cheats. It's just a matter of using 500,000 dollars to arouse people's greed. I think that the vast majority of people who bought "Twilight" bought this Chinese book because of this. To be honest, I wasn't interested in reading it at all, not because it was a Chinese book, but because it was so commercialized that it was disgusting. ”

Bob, a Washington Daily Newspaper commentator, said with a bold prediction: "He's going to be knocked down soon, because people will soon find out that the 500,000 cash prize is not going to be available to them." ”

Bob has always been outspoken, and likes to taunt the unaccustomed to it. Quite a few people liked him because of his straight nature. In fact, he is a complete racist at heart, looking down on blacks, and even more on yellow people. Xindao, if that yellow-skinned boy dares to pick up, he will scold him into the grave.

It's just that before waiting for the rebuttal of the publishing house and Hu Yifei, it ushered in the refutation of many Americans.

Many netizens who have read the book ran to his blog and column to leave him a message: ""Twilight" has this potential, and it deserves to be the best-selling No. 1. It's really easy to read, I read it all night after two days of watching it, and now I'm continuing to read it for the second time. Moreover, I also participated in that book review contest, not for the huge prize money, but because my heart is now in my throat, and if I don't say it, if I don't write it, I will have a disturbed soul. ”

"I like Bob's comments a lot, but this time you don't read the book and you comment on it, which is puzzling. Saying that there is no prejudice, but there is prejudice between the lines, I really misread you. ”

"I advise you to buy a book and read it before commenting, at least that way it looks professional."

When Bob saw these comments, his lungs exploded, and he retorted fiercely: "Are you Americans, a bunch of people have brain problems, there are so many excellent novels in the United States, but you want to read a Chinese book, what's there to see?" I recommend everyone to watch Game of Thrones, it will be the absolute right choice. ”

This directly scolded netizens, of course, it directly stimulated netizens.

There was a lot of scolding everywhere on the entire blog, but he only had one mouth, how could he scold so many netizens.

He wrote and scolded, scolded and deleted, but still couldn't stop the attacks of those angry netizens. He fought all night, went to work the next day, and made his colleagues unaccustomed to it, "Bob, you are too extreme, the Chinese have a saying." Without investigation, there is no voice, you haven't even read the book, how do you know it's not good? You're prejudice, you're racist, and you can't find the answer to the book "The Twilight Szen" in this tone. Maybe after reading a book, you still have to scold, that's your freedom. But I never knew that you would be so extreme and racist in your bones. ”

Bob felt like his head was going to explode, muttering, "Crazy, crazy." and yellow ghosts are disgusting to death. ”

It just so happened that a black female hygienist colleague passed by, "What did you just say?" ”

"Can you take care of it, go away." Bob pushes his colleague away in annoyance.

"******, you racist pig." A mop was thrown out, and the dirty water splashed all over him, and Bob was directly tragic.

……

In the second week, "Twilight" won the championship again, with total sales exceeding 900,000 copies.

In the first week, it may be the temptation of US dollars, so this time it can only be the real strength, and even many mainstream media have begun to take the initiative to participate in the comments:

"It's a love-hate book that's full of love-hate tension, but elegant and sophisticated like Jane Austen, reaching the ultimate in romance fiction." - Time Magazine

"The author's delicate, subtle brushstrokes make this astonishing novel transcend the confines of horror and suspense literature and rank among the best young adult novels." - Amazon website, USA

"There are emotional entanglements, twists and turns of adventure, magnificent and bizarre extraordinary imagination, vivid scene descriptions, thrilling reading pleasures, and warm comfort that hits the heart." —The New York Times

"In Hu Yifei's works, the passion of fate runs through the work, and the supernatural elements are even more fascinating." - Publishers Weekly

"Realistic, subtle, concise, and easy to read, the Twilight series will keep readers hooked." ——School Library Monthly

"'Twilight' is clearly a series, and the first 'Twilight' was an instant hit. In recent years, with the exception of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and Christopher Bolini's Illaron and The Elder, few other works have won the favor and appreciation of young readers like Hu Yifei's "Twilight" series. And the author is a director, and many of the scenes are simply prepared for the film adaptation. Maybe it won't be long before we see a movie adaptation. —USA Today

Many netizens still remember Bob, and specially ran to his column to leave a message, "What did you say this time, bastard." ”

Unfortunately, Bob couldn't respond, because his racism was exposed, causing public outrage. It is impossible for the newspaper to let him stay in a highly political newspaper like the Washington Daily News. Netizens were stunned when they learned about it. It turns out that the guy I admire is still a complete racist.

The power of word-of-mouth is powerful, and most readers who have read it think that this new book "Twilight" is indeed very good.

As soon as I tried it, readers paid for the book. In half a month, the sales of one million copies of the first issue were easily sold.

Fortunately, McCowwin was prepared this time, and "Twilight" on the market was not discontinued. Since then, "Twilight" has never been on the New York Times bestseller list.

Several major Hollywood film companies saw business opportunities and came to the door one after another to negotiate the copyright of film adaptation. Of course, Hu Yifei will not sell now, even if he can't auction now, he must wait for the price to sell and find a good partner.

"Twilight" unexpectedly became a sensation in North America, but it quickly attracted domestic attention in China.

The domestic foreign-related media were shocked after learning about the matter. I can't even take care of the Olympic celebration banquet, which is really unprecedented. A Chinese best-selling author, who wrote a novel in English, caused such a sensation in the United States, selling more than 1 million copies in a short period of time.

And it was Hu Yifei's previous book that was slow to update and was considered a failure.

Many people have a lot of questions in their heads, "Oh my God, what the hell is going on?" ”
