Chapter 652 "The Three-Body Problem" is on sale
Late May began, and this May is a fulfilling and long May for everyone, especially for Li Chencan's fans.
At the beginning, they saw the trailer of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", as well as the perfection of the song "Smiling Proud Jianghu" sung by Li Chencan, and the boldness of the song "Smiling Proud Jianghu" from the editing of movie clips and other cut pictures.
Next, it is time for Li Chencan to release his new book.
The night before "The Three-Body Problem", many people began to pay attention to Li Chencan's scarf, wanting to hear what he had to say about his upcoming book.
However, there was no movement on Li Chencan's scarf, and everyone had to change the object of their attention to tomorrow.
"The Three-Body Problem" is the first novel written by Li Chencan after returning to China, and everyone can see that this is a novel with high hopes for Li Chencan.
The night before the official release of "The Three-Body Problem", for Li Chencan, tonight was no different, because he saw the influence of "The Three-Body Problem" in another time and space, and he had already seen the influence of this book, which made too many people crazy and intoxicated.
At least when Li Chencan was watching "The Three-Body Problem", he didn't read it until the three books were finished...... As a result, after reading the first book, he got out of control and started reading the second book. Book 3...... Until I read them all. I have to say that Liu Cixin is really a very good science fiction author, and his "Three-Body Problem" has broken a problem of science fiction, which was originally more obvious in Chinese science fiction novels - science fiction with a strong story is difficult to take into account science. It is difficult to take into account the storytelling of science fiction texts with strong scientific nature.
Before Liu Cixin, many Chinese science fiction writers, including Wang Jinkang and Ni Kuang, were quite good at science fiction stories, but they always lacked a lot of science, especially Ni Kuang, who pushed those things to aliens as soon as he couldn't think of a reason for his books......
But Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" overturned these things. Let science fiction have a new benchmark.
When Li Chencan was watching "The Three-Body Problem", he kept chasing it, although the beginning of the place may be confusing. It's that after Wang Miao entered that game, following King Zhou Wen or something will make people a little dewy, but as long as they get through this, the grand world of this book will be displayed in front of everyone's eyes. One by one. One incident after another will make people can't help but feel excited. Throughout the trilogy, Shi Qiang, the stubborn Ye Wenjie, the selfless and touching Luo Ji, sometimes Cheng Xin, who is really gnashing his teeth, Yun Tianming, who lives in a fairy tale, and some other charming characters, such as Zhang Beihai, are all deeply impressive. Colleagues will also experience a thrilling process with the author's brushstrokes - discovering the three-body problem and solving the adultery. The wall plan, the collapse of the earth society, the total annihilation of the earth fleet, the negotiation with the Trisolarans, and the destruction of the entire universe......
These magnificent stories take place in such a novel.
Therefore, Li Chencan has a very strong confidence in this book.
However, he can also foresee that the second part of this book is really the most brilliant, although the first part is also quite good, but the influence of this time and space may not reach an unimaginable level, this thing is a bit like the "Batman" trilogy, the first part is eye-catching, but not to the point of being intoxicating, and the second part, it makes people almost can't say any bad reviews, but in the third part, there are still some people complaining......
After all, the description of the laws of the dark forest in the second part of "The Three-Body Problem" is really almost unfalsifiable, and an unfalsifiable topic is almost impeccable.
And the storytelling of that book is indeed extremely strong......
So Li Chencan is not worried.
Early the next morning, Li Chencan came to the Yanjing Xidan Building and started today's new book signing on his own turf. The most exaggerated thing is that there are people queuing outside at just over four o'clock in the morning, and when they arrive, they find out that they are earlier than themselves! Fortunately, it is already May, otherwise if it is the cold and freezing Yanjing City in the cold winter wax moon, it is really an unacceptable drudgery to get up so early.
The reason why these people came so early is very simple, it is because they want to see Li Chencan as soon as possible and get his autograph as soon as possible. Li Chencan has been abroad for several years, and although everyone can also hear about Li Chencan, see and hear Li Chencan's works, but after all, Li Chencan is on the other side of the ocean, and this feeling is completely different from Li Chencan's down-to-earth stay in China. Now, Li Chencan has finally returned to China, and there is a book signing meeting here that can meet with everyone, so everyone will naturally come to the scene, wanting to get Li Chencan's autograph book as soon as possible, and of course, wanting to see "The Three-Body Problem" as soon as possible to satisfy their curiosity and expectation.
…… At half past nine in the morning, Li Chencan finally came to the scene, and by this time, those readers who had started waiting at the scene at three or four o'clock could be regarded as suffering foreign crimes, but they had no complaints now.
Of course, Li Chencan can't be blamed for coming too late for this matter, after all, according to the process of this new book signing, Li Chencan will not start the signing meeting until ten o'clock...... Then he couldn't have gotten up in the early hours of the morning to come here for the sake of the people who came early, right?
"Whoa!" Li Chencan had just sat down in his own seat, and a large amount of applause enveloped the room, and this kind of applause could even be heard by many people under the building, and they looked up in some surprise at the place where they estimated the source of the applause, and were a little curious about what was going on there.
Li Chencan stood up and bowed to everyone and said thank you, and asked everyone to pause, and the voice gradually went down.
The reporters couldn't wait to gear up for a long time, and now they all began to gather around Li Chencan to conduct interviews, they have special seats, of course, the special position of these guys is to leave after the interview with Li Chencan, and they can't participate in book signing and selling - otherwise, what will the readers who are waiting in line think about it?
But now reporters can still ask Li Chencan questions.
"The book "Three-Body Problem" is about to go on sale, and now everyone is looking forward to what kind of description of this plot will be, can you tell you what unique way "Three-Body Problem" uses to describe the story of this alien invasion of the earth?"
Reporters didn't add clichés to the story, but in fact many people add clichés when talking about alien invasion of Earth.
"Let's read a book...... There will be answers in the book, and if I had to foretell it in advance, I would say that my perspective in this book will be more unique. ”
Chinese science fiction in this time and space is definitely not as withered as in another time and space, and there is still a market for Chinese science fiction in this time and space, and there are many quite excellent science fiction novels, but the perspective of "The Three-Body Problem", especially the "dark forest" theory in the second part, is definitely the most unique of all science fiction novels.
"As we all know, your novels "Harry Potter", "Twilight", and "The Lord of the Rings" in the United States have sold very high, usually selling hundreds of thousands of copies on the first day, so what hope do you have for the sales of "The Three-Body Problem"? How much do you think this novel will sell? ”
Li Chencan's "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" series has exceeded 30 million copies worldwide so far, and the cumulative sales of "The Legend of Wukong" are 10 million copies.
"My expectations...... Well, I can't talk about too many expectations, let's go with the flow, I have written so many books, let me find a truth, that is, the market and readers are the most real, and the sales are also the most real, if the quality of a book is really good, and everyone really likes it, then the sales of the book will be high, otherwise, the sales will be low...... It's simple. ”
…… After the reporters asked questions for more than ten minutes, Li Chencan stopped answering and then began to officially sign and sell books.
I have to say that this is indeed a difficult link, every time Li Chencan signs and sells books, he feels that his hands are sore for several days, and he will almost want to vomit when he hears the word writing in the next few days......
But he still has to do it again and again.
After all, this is a good activity to bring him closer to his readers, and it must be indispensable to sign and sell books.
The next book signing activity was really the same as the previous one, Li Chencan almost completed the activity in torment, he signed until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, signing more than 8,000 books, which made his right hand feel like he couldn't hold the chopsticks. But it's good to take a little rest, at least today he saw the expectations and pursuit of Chinese book fans for him as always, and everyone's love for Li Chencan has never dropped.
Moreover, this kind of liking and expectation has become even stronger with Li Chencan's trip to the United States and then coming back.
On this day, within the entire circle of Chinese cultural influence, "The Three-Body Problem" began to be put on the shelves of major bookstores on a large scale, and the English version of "The Three-Body Problem" is being translated intensively.
The sale on this day immediately made the sales of "The Three-Body Problem" begin to surge. (To be continued......)
