Chapter 657: Li Kuo's Magical Novel?!
Now, many Chinese book lovers look like they are facing a great enemy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After all, "Dragons and Knights" is coming soon......
In fact, from these perspectives, the current feeling is really a bit like Uncle Liu Huang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms......
Uncle Liu Huang there is also benevolent and righteous here, and the people kneel down to greet him there, but the problem is that he is still homeless and wandering all over the world. Cao Cao also hated him, and he did bad things there, but he just established a great career.
It's the same now, although many people are saying that these foreign books are fiercer than tigers, and they will also make China suffer a special loss in cultural exchanges, but the problem is that these books are still selling well in China......
"Dragons and Knights" is like this anyway, and many things have begun to be worried by everyone.
Soon, "Dragons and Knights" began to be officially sold on the shelves.
Since the morning, many bookstore owners have witnessed the continuous disappearance of "Dragons and Knights" from the shelves, and some bookstores have sold out "Dragons and Knights" by noon and need to be restocked.
It seems that the sales of this book have exceeded everyone's expectations, and everyone was predicting that this book should be fiercer than the tiger, and this sales will make "The Fall of the Giant" lose the status that it earned so hard, who knows, from the current point of view, everyone's previous expectations are still too low.
From the current point of view, if "The Fall of the Giant" is benchmarked against this "Dragon and Knight", it is estimated that it will be a draw at most...... It's a frustrating thing.
When everyone thought that this sales data was coming again and again, an incident on the other side of the ocean caught everyone's attention:
Li Kuo has a new book released over there!
And it's actually a fantasy novel!
This news can only be said to have detonated everyone's nerves in an instant.
Everybody's going to blow up the nest......
Because this thing came so suddenly, and it just happened to shock everyone, at this moment, many people took out their mobile phones and immediately began to comment, but the content of the comments will definitely not be as pessimistic as when "The Fall of the Giant" was just released.
After all, with a "The Fall of the Giant", many people have seen that Li Kuo has the ability to write English novels, so even if he wants to write a magic novel next, although everyone subjectively feels very unreliable and nonsense, but deep down, I also feel that Li Kuo can at least write it, and it is not nonsense.
So a lot of everyone's comments, that is, from multiple aspects, from multiple angles, respectively.
"Li Kuo is really exhausted, and it can indeed be seen what he has done in the past two years, he definitely did not waste this time, but used the time to do the most important thing, his subsequent magic novels, no matter what it looks like, I will pay attention to it anyway, and I will support it, I hope Li Kuo can bring you some better possibilities......"
"Hey, I have to say, Li Kuo is really a person who can take some big things to heart, and he is also determined to do it, no matter what. This time the cultural exchange between China and the United States, Li Kuo did show some more attractive characteristics, which is a kind of daring to take responsibility, but also a kind of planning before acting, and it is also impossible to make it possible. It's just that in the matter of magic novels, I still feel that Li Kuo may have more feelings and efforts than content, and it is difficult to really write any powerful magic novels. However, Li Kuo has done enough for the Sino-American Cultural Exchange Association, and it can be said that he has done enough for Chinese literature......"
Indeed, to be honest, for most people, Li Kuo has done enough, and everyone sees it.
During this period of time, the effect of Li Kuo's hibernation for two years has been shown before, everything is still like that, Li Kuo is still the one who creates miracles in everyone's eyes.
"To be honest, there is a shortage of manpower, there is always no one who is proficient in everything first, Li Kuo is like this, he has indeed made too many achievements, and has written too many good novels, but after all, he is still a human, not a god, many things will still have flaws, and many things will always have some things that cannot be taken into account...... In short, I said so much, I just hope that everyone can be full of kindness to Li Kuo's new book, even if his book is not good, please raise your mouth and be merciful......"
In fact, soon, such a statement became the mainstream of everyone's opinion.
"Please be kind."
That's all there is to say now......
Li Kuo also felt a little crying and laughing when he saw these comments from everyone, he wouldn't be too happy, after all, this feeling of being sympathized with was actually not so good. But Li Kuo couldn't get angry, after all, these people were also concerned about him, and they kept saying that they must be kind to Li Kuo.
So what he can do is to make this novel continue the glory of "The Fall of the Giant".
At the beginning, when the American publishing house heard that Li Kuo was going to have a new book, almost all of them came up, wanting to talk to Li Kuo about the new book and buying the copyright from him.
At this time, everyone was high-spirited, and Li Kuo blocked the road of publishing books at his own expense.
After all, Li Kuo published books at his own expense, and it can be said that he made a lot of money.
So far, Li Kuo's "The Fall of the Giant" has sold 760,000 copies, and such a book, after deducting taxes, deducting various channel fees to the publishing house, etc., all calculated, a book can have an average of about 6 US dollars to Li Kuo's account.
As a result, of the 760,000 copies, there were 4.56 million US dollars, and after deducting the initial cost of various promotion expenses, Li Kuo also earned about 3.3 million US dollars......
This reflects the charm of publishing books at his own expense, and all the money Li Kuo earns now belongs to him.
What's more, all the copyrights and film and television adaptation rights after that are in the hands of Li Kuo, according to the latest news they got, Hollywood film companies have already offered Li Kuo's "The Fall of the Giant" a copyright adaptation fee of 5 million US dollars......
Naturally, the publishing house wanted to get the money, so they wanted to restrict Li Kuo's self-funded book publishing.
However, this restriction was shattered after they learned that Li Kuo's new book was a magical book...... A lot of people change their minds right away.
After all, magic can only be played by Europeans and Americans...... This is common knowledge in the world, and most fans of American fiction know it......
This seems to be a natural diaphragm that blocks many people.
