Chapter 604: The Twilight Finale Collection Sells Wildly
"The Lord of the Rings" is a great novel, and in another time and space, it has also made a name for itself.
Such a novel, although published in the 50s, can still be called a classic even after 60 years.
The influence that this novel received at that time can indeed be said to be unprecedented.
Of course, for many Chinese readers, the main influence of "The Lord of the Rings" is not in the novel, but in the adaptation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which has made more and more people know the original novel of "The Lord of the Rings" and have generated quite strong interest.
When Li Chencan first read the original novel of "The Lord of the Rings", he was actually first influenced by the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
In fact, the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" is really not amazing at the beginning...... And it will make people feel that the rhythm is very long, and there is a lack of enough contradictions and conflicts, which makes people feel sleepy after watching, but when I see the middle or so of the first episode, my liking for this movie begins to rise more and more, and then, I can't extricate myself from it, and I look forward to the next plot development more and more.
Of course, Li Chencan also saw the glory of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in the whole world, not only achieved great results at the box office, but also had quite outstanding achievements in artistry, at least won several Oscar awards, and most importantly, these movies themselves do have quite rich connotations, of course, such connotations also came from the novel "The Lord of the Rings" at the beginning.
The Lord of the Rings is indeed more than just a novel. The novel was published in the mid-50s, when the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union was formalized, and the world was shrouded in a nuclear shadow...... At that time. Many literary works also reflect these aspects, and in "The Lord of the Rings", the dualistic narrative explores the questions that human beings have been exploring, such as life and death, light and darkness, and the question of the way out for human beings...... Also, the greatest thing about this work of fiction is: It's a way to really describe an alternate world that's almost real.
It presents a world that has never been seen before, completely detached from reality, and even has its own linguistic system. It is rooted in the soil of Western Christian culture. Drawing nourishment from Norse mythology, which has both Christian overtones and obvious mythological characteristics, the characters in the work reflect their connection to Christian culture and Nordic literature in their actions, thoughts and choices. "The Lord of the Rings" embodies the fantasy of human beings...... It is an epoch-making masterpiece that can hardly be surpassed.
This is exactly what it is. The novel "The Lord of the Rings". Li Chencan's impression is indeed very deep, and he insisted on reading it at that time, not only to learn English and improve his English level, but more importantly, because Li Chencan himself was conquered by such a fictional world......
Li Chencan now chooses to release "The Lord of the Rings" after "Twilight", and his consideration is quite simple, that is, to correct some of the unfavorable imaginations that everyone has about him because of "Twilight......
Anyway. Now there are indeed many people who think that "Twilight" has seriously reduced Li Chencan's compulsion, and when they saw "Harry Potter", they thought that this was a guy who could write children's literature so engagingly that almost anyone from any class could read it. But after arriving in "Twilight", some people will begin to think that Li Chencan is a fiction author who is not popular.
Li Chencan really needs a book to prove himself now...... And this book, of course, is "The Lord of the Rings".
Such books, although the times are different, but the shock of the soul that can be brought should be the same, and the world that seems to be almost real will also receive everyone's attention and love, because that world has a considerable social foundation, religious and theological foundation, and the logic is rigorous, and even directly created a language that belongs to that world, it is conceivable that the repercussions that the world can bring will inevitably be huge.
Therefore, "The Lord of the Rings" must also be able to gain quite a good influence in this time and space......
With such a thing as a foundation, Li Chencan now has a real plan to release "The Lord of the Rings".
The words that Li Chencan said before were actually a little arrogant in the ears of many people......
But Li Chencan has always spoken like that, not to mention that it is still in the United States, the United States is not actually not without such a thing as modesty, those who always say that only Chinese are modest, foreigners are very direct people, that is all people and clouds, in fact, most foreigners are also very polite, others boast and directly accept that kind of situation is not very much, but although so, at least the United States still speaks more directly than China, so Li Chencan's style everyone still likes it anyway, After all, Li Chencan's strength is really too strong, so what he says can always be done, and his promises will basically be fulfilled by himself...... In this way, everyone will not have too many ideas, but will applaud Li Chencan's every time he is very confident, because it proves that he has a new commitment to everyone.
"So what kind of book is this? Can you tell us more about that? The reporter patiently continued to ask.
Li Chencan smiled: "As I just said, I will recreate a world, accommodate these people I want to put in the whole world, and accommodate every character I want to put on." There will be many races in this world, including orcs, dwarves, and humans...... Of course, this also includes magicians and wizards...... This is a world where many races live together, and of course, this will also be a bloody adventure story, and as the adventurers follow, I will reveal to you all the things in that world little by little...... But let's get back to the topic for now, after all, today is the book signing of "The Twilight Zone", and it is not the book signing of my new book in the future! ”
Of course, for the reporters, just now they mainly wanted to get more news, not that they inadvertently diverted the topic, of course, now that Li Chencan has brought it up, they have also withdrawn the topic.
However, after Li Chencan's many stories before, a long time has passed, so Li Chencan basically started the book signing session without answering reporters' questions.
Many people present were still thinking about what Li Chencan had just said, and they were amazed before, so they naturally didn't think that Li Chencan would write quite poorly if he suddenly reopened a book now...... On the contrary, everyone believes that Li Chencan will bring more wonderful experiences to everyone.
So everyone listened patiently to Li Chencan's explanation before, and began to guess the appearance of his new book, of course, more than to look forward to it......
But now that the signing meeting has officially begun, everyone has put their main attention on the signing meeting.
…… The signing session was quite a singing session and took a lot of time.
At the signing meeting, Li Chencan still had more than 5,000 sets of signed books, in fact, there were still many people who were not able to sign in, but there was no way, Li Chencan did not stand it after signing so many words, and his physical strength and the like couldn't keep up, so he had no choice but to stop the signing activities, of course, such a thing was also in line with what they explained in advance - at the beginning, Li Chencan and they said when they would end the signing, and now they have not broken their promise.
At the same time as this book signing, the last few volumes of "Twilight" were officially released in major bookstores, and many bookstores still had countless readers pouring in and almost trampling the floor......
More and more people are coming here to buy Twilight.
It was under such circumstances that more and more "Twilight" began to be sold, and in the hands of many fans, the price of this book reached 53 US dollars, which is much more expensive than the previous single volume, but compared to the word count of this large collection, more than 50 US dollars is actually a conscience price in the industry.
"Twilight" is now priced at $53, and in a short period of time, it has received quite a frenzy of sales, and on the first day, everyone thought that the sales of the finale of "Twilight" should not be too high, but in fact, the sales of this novel directly exceeded 600,000 copies...... That's even higher than the usual number for the release of two Twilight installments!
Li Chencan now also got another book that sold more than 500,000 copies on the first day, and this time it directly exceeded 600,000! That's 600,000 copies!
600,000 copies, after deducting various costs, each book can still make a profit of at least $15-25 per book, so this is a rather terrifying number just for one day's profit......
Xinghuo Publishing House has indeed gained more and more popularity and wider attention among the big sales of books published by Li Chencan one after another.
On the second and third days, the sales of "Twilight" were also quite high, and after three days, the total sales exceeded a terrible 1.3 million copies!
Moreover, when everyone actually got "Twilight" and couldn't wait to remove the plastic package and start watching the content inside, they were quickly attracted to it...... No matter how many bad reviews this book has, at least, those who like this book just like it, and they can be fascinated by the plot in it! (To be continued......)
