Chapter 212: A Heartbreaking Ending
When the sales statistics of "Twilight" on the second day were completed, the sales data of less than 10,000 copies made people laugh again.
Especially when I remember that Link had publicly stated that he was going to go head-to-head with "Harry Potter", this huge contrast almost turned Link's words into a joke.
The New York Times did not shy away from saying, "Link, aren't you hyping it up? If you don't hype it up, I'm afraid it will take 100 years for the 1.5 million copies of "Twilight" to be printed. ”
Not only the New York Times, but also major media outlets are looking for professional writers, preparing to ask those writers who are more famous to write a few articles after reading, so as to teach Link a lesson.
The continuous growth of the ShowYou advertising platform has made the profits of the traditional paper media industry shrink, and the paper media industry will never let go of Link if it is like killing parents.
However, when the major newspapers and media began to contact those famous authors, they were surprised to find that many writers either refused directly or euphemistically excused themselves, which made the major print media not expect.
But fortunately, there is no shortage of writers in the United States, and you can always find them if you want them.
Therefore, those writers who took people's money began to use their pens to eliminate disasters for people.
When many writers who have really watched "Twilight" learn about this, they are all heartbroken and beat their chests: "Son of a bitch, why do you want to provoke Link, he will come to slap his face." And it's a slap in the face of the entire writers' circle, you idiots. ”
Although a lot of people who are really powerful. I don't want to provoke Link, but there are still people who are willing to make extra money, not just write a few words. Do you want to post a review of Link?
As a result, someone came forward and began to publicly criticize Link and his "Twilight Zone" in the newspapers.
"It's also called a novel? Link should go back and continue to make American dramas, the writing circle is not as simple as you think. If you look at your writing, can it be called writing? Whether it's the words or the way they describe it, it's just childish and ridiculous. Readers' eyes are bright, and today's sales are going to follow the current downward trend. I don't think I will be able to sell a few copies. ”
Articles similar to this criticism of Link's writing have begun to gain popularity.
When Link saw it, he nodded solemnly: "That's great." My writing is really bad. It seems that I need to find this writer who posted the article and have a good talk. Well, I'm a humble person. ”
Time flies. The day passed again in an instant.
But. When the sales statistics of the third day of "Twilight" were completed, it made many people's eyes shine.
On the third day, nearly 50,000 copies were sold, which was still not much, but this sudden upward trend surprised many people.
In this way, "Twilight" sold a total of nearly 80,000 copies in three days, although it is not even a tenth of the first day of "Harry Potter", but only those professional writers who have read the book understand. Link, this guy is showing weakness again. And now, all the signs are telling. "Twilight" is about to enter an explosive period.
However, although many people know in their hearts that "Twilight" is an amazing masterpiece. However, no one wants him to be a real big seller, because that would make those of them who have written a lot of books feel a pain in their faces.
A J.K. Rowling is enough to make people look up, and now, suddenly a Link with a wide range of hobbies has popped up.
"I can't live, I really can't live."
Many professional writers have begun to beat their chests again, but some people are very excited, because there is finally a writer in the United States who can compete with J.K. Rowling, and the book he wrote "Twilight" has the strength to beat "Harry Potter" in seconds no matter how you look at it.
No matter what the starting point is, it's okay to be afraid of Link slapping him in the face, and I hope Link kills J.K. Rowling in seconds.
Anyway, the whole writers' circle has been underflowing, and everyone is starting to rush to study "Twilight". Those who read it began to read it a second and third time, and those who did not read it began to rush to the book supermarket to buy a copy and come back, and then solemnly turned the first page as if facing the Bible.
The power of the Internet is always surprising, just because of the prestige of the netizen 'Tianze Dragon King', netizens who are determined to slap their faces get together and buy a copy of "Twilight".
Otherwise, it would not have been possible to sell close to 50,000 copies.
In addition to those who are curious about Link's debut novel, many of these 50,000 people are just to have a prestige that countless netizens worship.
The charm of Showme is here, many people in order to make their own Wei Bo attract attention, began to do the work of 'experts', whether it is all kinds of tutorials, or a new product trial feeling, these people who are keen to write Wei Bo, absolutely will not care what they buy. What they care about is whether the number of their fans has increased, and how many times their Weibo has been forwarded and commented.
Just like the current "Twilight Zone", since someone has come forward to say that it is even better than "Harry Potter", and that prestige has been put on the headlines, this is definitely extremely enviable.
Anyone who can make headlines is a big celebrity on the Internet, or has written something shocking and powerful.
And now, the netizen 'Tianze Dragon King' is just accusing Link's "Twilight", and incidentally despises J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter", which can actually make headlines?
With mixed feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred, many people went to buy a copy of "Twilight" and came back to read it.
But after reading this, I was immediately attracted by this novel.
The gorgeous and beautiful depiction of love, as well as the lingering compassion of the magical human girl and the vampire prince, as well as the irresistible storyline, all make people can't stop.
When these people began to be deeply attracted to "Twilight", there was an amazing threat on the Internet again.
A guy with the ID 'Link almost killed my daughter' posted this threat: "Shameless Link, why are you going to write a novel? You wrote "The Twilight Zone" that almost killed my daughter who had severe asthma. She fell ill for the end you wrote, and if it hadn't been for the doctor's timely rescue, my daughter would probably have left me. It's all you, Link, you're the biggest murderer, you almost killed my daughter. ”
This Wei Bo immediately attracted countless onlookers, and at the end of a novel, he almost killed a young girl?
If the content is amazing, it is simply incomprehensible.
"What exactly is 'Twilight' about? All I know is that it's Link's debut novel. What power does it have to make a young girl with severe asthma almost die because of the ending of "Twilight"? ”
Questions like this began to be mentioned repeatedly.
Especially when I thought of the majesty of the 'Tianze Dragon King' yesterday, a strong irrepressible curiosity suddenly spread.
And when Link learns that a sixteen-year-old girl almost died because of the settlement of "Twilight" written by himself, Link himself is also frightened.
He hurriedly sent someone to visit the little girl named Maggie, and then made another decision in an instant, and publicly stated: "In order to make up for the great disaster I almost caused, I am personally willing to pay for Miss Maggie's future medical expenses." I will invite the world's most famous asthma specialist to treat Miss Maggie, and I sincerely hope that she can live a healthy life, she is still a sixteen-year-old young girl, she has a long life, and I am willing to do what I can for her. ”
When Link responded publicly, many commentators on social activism praised Link's move, praising him as a 'conscientious' capitalist.
Just when a large number of netizens launched an online campaign to pray for 'Maggie', "Twilight" also entered the attention of more people.
Although Link didn't mean to hype, he was genuinely scared. He was afraid of depriving a little girl of sixteen of her life because of the end of a novel he had written.
Although he thinks that his mind is very simple, others do not see it that way.
Especially those who have been paying attention to him, they all patted their thighs and shouted: "Wonderful, Link is worthy of being a master of hype, "Twilight" does not need a penny of publicity expenses, just a small story, it has captured everyone's soft sympathy, and by the way, it has done the most popular publicity for "Twilight". It's so brilliant that the publishing market is definitely going to be on fire. ”
And when many people were attracted by this "Maggie incident", they were still hesitant to buy a copy of "Twilight" and come back to take a look.
Those netizens who were about to slap their faces before instantly sprayed their anger on the showme Weibo station.
"Link, you madman! Why put that kind of ending to Twilight? No wonder Maggie got sick, you almost killed me! My heart hurts! Link is simply not human, such a perfect story, and it is unforgivable to write a crazy ending at the end! ”
Netizen 'wjwllee' was full of anger and gritted his teeth to write this Wei Bo. He just went to buy a copy of "Twilight" in order to refute the statement of the original 'Tianze Dragon King'.
The 'Maggie Incident' that came after that made him even more incomprehensible, so he read it with great anticipation.
However, who knew that in just a few hours, he couldn't stop reading it.
The kind of ** repeated plot ups and downs, and the emotional description that is so beautiful that of course you will smile, and even the romantic jungle rush that makes people blush, as well as Edward and Isabella who make people cry.
All of this is so that you can't take your eyes off it, and you can only read it for hours in one breath, and you want to read it from beginning to end, and then you can cover it up and sigh.
Who would have thought that an ending of less than 100 words would instantly shatter all the previous emotions and excitement and so on. (To be continued......)
