Chapter 623: Tens of Millions of Horror Sales
"The Lord of the Rings" is indeed a novel beyond many people's imagination.
Everyone heard Li Chencan say that he wanted to write "The Lord of the Rings" by writing an epic, and at that time, although everyone was looking forward to Li Chencan in their hearts, they didn't expect Li Chencan to write to this extent.
"When I got Li Chencan's "Lord of the Rings", oh my God, I was desperate, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach his achievements, and I couldn't even get close! He is a real master......" -- Sal, a very famous novelist in North America, said such things when he was interviewed by reporters, and everyone could feel that what he said came from the bottom of his heart, and he was really shocked by Li Chencan's book.
These are the reviews of more professional people.
"His imagination has created different landscapes, from the most terrifying to the truly heavenly. His creations are full of incomparable authenticity. His world, when you are in the middle of it, you will understand that this is such a real and never-before-seen continent......" - Los Angeles Post.
Such a professional book review vividly shows the achievements of Li Chencan's current "The Lord of the Rings" in the superstructure.
Indeed, Li Chencan's book is really good-looking, although it is only the first one, it has set off a lot of things not only the tip of the iceberg, but brought out a world, a world, so that everyone understands Li Chencan's ability, and what kind of level his hard-working book is.
Soon, the sales of The Lord of the Rings abroad also began to expand. Especially in China, after a long period of translation, Li Chencan's "The Lord of the Rings" was finally translated into Chinese and began to be published almost directly and simultaneously.
Of course, Chinese book lovers are now looking forward to Li Chencan's new novel. I want to hear what Li Chencan's new novel looks like, and what his own so-called new world will look like.
However, while being able to read this book, some people began to complain uncontrollably-
"Li Chencan, this guy, is a Chinese himself, and the first thing he wrote was a Chinese publication...... Now that his new book is written in English, we want to see it retranslated from English to Chinese...... That's too much trouble, isn't it? At first, he wrote a Chinese version directly. Wouldn't an English version be enough? ”
This view resonates with many people, but there are also many people who refute this view.
"Things are written differently in different languages. Li Chencan may have written this book in English as it feels like, but writing it in Chinese is a different feeling, and this "Lord of the Rings" is obviously a novel structured under the Western cultural view, if it is written in Chinese. It may be difficult to achieve the kind of effect that Li Chencan wants. ”
But. Those who refute it are also very reasonable.
"That being said, but if you look at Li Chencan's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and his "The Legend of Wukong", you can understand that Li Chencan's ability to control the Chinese language is still very strong, and then look at his "Harry Potter" and "Twilight Zone" to know that his ability to control English is still very strong...... With such a strong control over both Chinese and English, it shouldn't be difficult for him to write a novel bilingually, right? ”
…… In short, all kinds of debates are going on vigorously. It is in the midst of such heated debates that the Chinese version of The Lord of the Rings has begun to be officially released in China. More than 300,000 copies were sold on the first day, and it was a complete miracle that a Western fantasy novel could achieve such first-day sales.
Within a short time of the book's official release in China, The Lord of the Rings' critical acclaim began to skyrocket.
"Although I was reading it in a translated text, the profundity of "The Lord of the Rings" still conquered me, the shock brought to me by this book is very strong, Li Chencan's description of another world and the many feelings hidden in it, this is very shocking, no wonder "The Lord of the Rings" can be liked by so many people and get such high sales! Li Chencan is really Chinese pride, and there has never been a precedent for a Chinese to have such a high achievement in the Western world......"
"The British seem to say that if you don't read The Lord of the Rings, you don't need to read all other novels...... Their evaluation of "The Lord of the Rings" is so high, also because this book is really real and credible, and Li Chencan's understanding of Western culture is also deep in the bone marrow, this ability is really amazing. ”
"The Lord of the Rings is a translation of Li Chencan's English novel, but this should also be a great wake-up call for our Chinese novel market, including the so-called wake-up call for online novels, the so-called rich imagination is not how many universes and planets your protagonist can shatter with one punch, nor is it the protagonist's increasingly powerful destructive power. The real imagination is rich, it should be like now, the ability to restore the details of a world, if you can create a real and credible world, then you will definitely succeed. -- Novel Review, China.
...... "The Lord of the Rings" conquered the two superpowers, China and the United States, and in other markets in the world, it also brought a strong conquest force.
Soon, The Lord of the Rings sold more than 10 million copies in the world.
On the night when "The Lord of the Rings" exceeded 10 million copies sold, Li Chencan posted a specially processed Arabic numeral of 10 million on his Twitter, and attached a paragraph to it-
"Thanks to everyone's support, The Lord of the Rings has sold over 10 million copies worldwide to date! Of course, I actually think that such a number is conceivable, because I put a lot of emotion into "The Lord of the Rings", and I also spent a lot of time and energy on "The Lord of the Rings", as I said before, and as many people now comment, my "Lord of the Rings" has tried to build a world that really fits, and every brick and tile, every grass and tree in this world, hopes to have an ability that makes people indulge in it, and it feels like they are real. So, for Lord of the Rings, to be honest, I'm pretty confident. However, I am still very excited to see such achievements, all my achievements are given to me by everyone, thank you! ”
Li Chencan's tweet has just been released and has been continuously retweeted, and at the same time, it also carries various comments from many people-
"Indeed, selling 10 million copies so quickly should be the true level of The Lord of the Rings! This novel really shocked me, Li Chencan, go further and further on the road that shocked the world! ”
"The achievement of 'The Lord of the Rings' is really amazing, but compared to the things that this book does, the world it describes, and the thoughts it shows, this kind of sales are not even too high."
...... The Lord of the Rings began to catch fire, permeating the month of late April and throughout May.
In the whole month of May this year, almost all of the world is shrouded in the pursuit of "The Lord of the Rings", and the craze that "The Lord of the Rings" is now set off by "Harry Potter", which cannot be compared, because the audience of this book is too wide, to be honest, although "Harry Potter" has been liked by many people, many people still think that this is a children's literature, and the first few are also full of children's literature The kind of reunion, will not encounter danger, and the characteristics of children as the protagonists, So the limitations are also particularly obvious.
But "The Lord of the Rings" does not have such a problem, although the protagonist is a dwarf, but the family also started the adventure at the age of 51, and many things encountered along the way are not comparable to children's literature......
"The Lord of the Rings" in another time and space, the sales are not as high as "Harry Potter", but there are many reasons for this, after all, the era when "The Lord of the Rings" was released, it was the fifties, and the degree of information development is certainly not comparable with that of later generations.
However, the information is too developed, and it is difficult for something to be popular for too long, and the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" will of course be higher than the original, but the degree of high is limited, and it is difficult to last for too long......
In today's world, it is already a rare achievement for one thing to affect the first half of the month, but now, "The Lord of the Rings" has been popular for more than a month!
Towards the end of May, the cumulative sales of "The Lord of the Rings" have reached 20 million copies worldwide, a figure that is still a single novel, which is really staggering.
In May, Li Chencan himself can't devote all his time to his novels, in this May, the most important thing for him is that the plans for the year of the fireworks film company are in full swing, the first part of "Twilight: Twilight" will be released soon, and after this movie, there will be other "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Transformers" released in turn......
That's a really important thing.
During this time, "The Hangover 2" was also officially released......
After the release of "The Hangover 2", it was widely criticized by everyone that it did not have the creativity of the first part and was completely copying the first part, but even so, the movie still hit the box office of more than 300 million US dollars around the world, bringing huge profits to Fireworks Film Company.
These revenues are also more acceptable to the grand strategy of Fireworks Films.
