Chapter 280: The Terrifying Outsider Series
"Auntie, you're not kidding, Kede's book is on sale today?" Su Shichen felt incredulous about the news from Wang Ni.
"The Outsider. The Real Outsider was published at the Rise Press, which now made an announcement an hour ago. ”
Stand Up Publishing House, one of the top publishing houses in China, can win Kede's book is also a matter of course, but it is strange that Thomson. Kode's The Outsider. Before the release of "The Real Outsider", there was no wind at all.
Suddenly, there was news that it was released, and the announcement of the book was usually released three days before, and this was only an hour.
"Weishenme will be in such a hurry? Not good publicity? Su Shichen asked.
"One seems to have done so because of Kode's request."
Kede asked, it seems that the self-confidence of this foreign devil is not small.
"As for another reason, the current popularity of fantasy fiction rivalry is not pretentious propaganda at all." Wang Ni saw things very thoroughly.
"Okay, Aunt Xiexie, I'll take a look." Hang up the phone and go out to buy books.
Although Kede's main battlefield is Europe and the United States, it also has the foundation of the previous thirty years and eleven books, plus the gimmick, so as soon as the book is listed, various bookstores are still in the market, of course, it is not as good as the scene when Su Shichen's "The Matrix" was released in Huaxia, but it takes a lot of effort to buy a book, squeezing into the crowd, and it took a lot of effort to buy it.
I don't know if it's deliberate, "The Outsider Series. The book "The Real Outsider" was sold worldwide in English and Chinese at the same time.
Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles. Listening to Kede say that this zuihou will reveal a big secret, and we have to see if this is just to stimulate sales. It's still true, this is the reason why Su Shichen came in a hurry to buy it.
If the former is just to stimulate sales, then it is not a big deal, but if it is the latter, then it can be said that the difficulty of defeating Kode has increased.
Su Shichen can be said to be the first batch to buy "The Outsider. The Real Outsider", carried home ready to study thoroughly.
Although Kede may have also considered the matter of translating English into Chinese when he wrote it, after all, it was a surprise on the cultural background, and the Chinese version of Su Shichen felt very awkward when he saw a few chapters. I couldn't stand it anymore, and closed the book with a snap.
Of course, this is not to say that this Chinese version of "The Outsider. The Real Outsider is hard to see to the point of this. But at the same time, it is a little intolerable for a person who is very attentive and still attentive and thoroughly studied.
"To be honest, the translation of this Chinese version is definitely a translator. It can still be called the pinnacle of translating English works into Chinese. But to understand Kede's true strength, it is better to look at the original. ”
The original English version can't be bought in Huaxia, only ordered online, Su Shichen's English level in his previous life was definitely not able to read the original English version, but in this life, he sank to the bottom of three years of high school, and now there is no problem at all to read the original English novel.
The original English version is 20 percent more expensive than the Chinese version, and after ordering, the book will not arrive for three days. In a hurry, Su Shichen had a new job. Follow the book "The Outsider. The Real Outsider is the data of the book.
There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. This sentence means that martial arts can be divided into second, but the article is impossible, because everyone's hobbies are different, and this is indeed the case.
But this shijie, who is culturally prosperous, is very supportive of the confrontation, just like the previous sci-fi confrontation between Su Shichen and his original residence, the victory or defeat is judged from the three aspects of sales, word of mouth, and influence.
Sales volume is a very important part, so it is natural to pay attention to it.
The Outsider. Although "The Real Outsider" did not have too much publicity, it was already popular on the first day of its release.
It sold 1.8 million copies on the first day, and the total sales exceeded 5 million in three days!
Among the works translated from foreign countries, this record is already very haode, and it can even rank in the top ten, and this year it is the most selling foreign book.
Of course, this record in Huaxia is nothing to Su Shichen and Chu Xing, Su Shichen's "The Matrix I Hacker Mission" once created a day and completely reached the level of "Outsider. The total data of "The Real Outsider" for three days, so if you just rely on the results, it is not pressure at all, the key is the total sales.
Throughout Europe and the United States, the "Outsider. The Real Outsider sold more than 8.6 million copies on the first day, to put it simply, the two places of Europe and the United States plus China sold more than 10 million copies on the first day, not counting island countries, South Korea and other countries.
More than 10 million copies, this record, even if Su Shichen writes a great masterpiece, it is impossible to reach this level, because now Su Shichen's distribution channel has not been opened at all, even if the island country is added, just the island country and the two markets of Huaxia, it is impossible for a book to sell more than 10 million copies on the first day.
It was during these three days that the Outsider. The global sales of "The Real Outsider" have exceeded more than 25 million copies, and it has directly landed at the top of the best-selling book list in the United States, which is unstoppable!
That's more than 25 million copies, and you don't see that many authors don't sell more than 25 million copies of their books in their lifetimes, so let's put it this way, if an author's cumulative sales of books exceed 10 million copies, then he can be called a top writer.
Su Shichen has written a lot of books, and the influence of books is not small, but the cumulative sales are only forty or fifty million copies, but in just three days, there are more than half, and it is estimated that it will not take two weeks to completely surpass, this is really a gap.
The popularity of the "Outsider Series" accumulated over the past 30 years has all exploded in this book.
The United States has received rave reviews.
"Thomson. Mr. Kord's sincere work, the end of the "Outsiders Series", is not to be missed. ”
"It seems like I've heard that there's a Western fantasy rivalry. But I saw "The Outsider. After the quality of the book, I think the results are already in, even if the opponent is the winner of the Hugo Award. Clear. What do you say su, who is that? - "Today's Rice Country"
""The Real Outsider" makes the Alien Continent more exciting and perfect, if you want to surpass the Alien Continent in [his shijie], don't be kidding!" - "Major Events in the United States"
Well, the rhythm of the United States has already decided the winner or loser of the confrontation.
It was only when the sales of Kede's book were on fire that Su Shichen got the original English version.
I looked at it very carefully. Compared with the previous eleven films, "The Real Outsider" is heavier on top of the pen, which is also expected. Throughout Kode's works, each one is a considerable improvement over the previous one.
Therefore, this is not to surprise Su Shichen, what surprises him is the twist on the plot.
The biggest turning point in the entire Alien Continent that Kede said was true, and the three people who began to travel to the Alien Continent thought that he had crossed into the Alien World. But that's not the case. They only traveled to the future, not to the other world.
Right! That's right, this place called the Alien Continent is the earth at all, but in the year 2046 of the earth, there is a group of people from the other world who came to the earth, because they are vindictive and magical, so even if people use thermal weapons or even nuclear bombs, they are not opponents, and soon the entire earth will fall into the hands of the otherworlders.
The gap between the earth and the magical shijie where this people live is naturally very large, so they transformed the earth into their original shijie. Similarly, the original earthlings have been assimilated and enslaved by the aliens after hundreds of years.
It's this people, the people of the other world, who know that they are foreigners. So the origin of the name Outsider Continent is like this.
When he saw this, Su Shichen could be said to have been conquered by Kede's imagination, no wonder he saw that some of the products similar to earth technology appeared in the introduction of this outsider continent, Su Shichen felt a little awkward when he saw it, he thought it was a flaw in the writing, but he didn't expect that this was the foreshadowing of the later turning point, that is to say, the flaw turned into a bright spot, and this strength is rarely possessed even by top writers.
"The name "The Real Outsider" is well chosen, it turns out that the three of them are not the so-called outsiders, and the real outsiders can be said to be everyone in this Outsiders Continent except them."
The next content is the rebellion of the three earthlings who have crossed time after knowing about this matter, because each of them can be said to have monopoly power, so it quickly turned the entire Alien Continent upside down, but it was at the climax that the whole book came to an abrupt end, and ending in the climax was undoubtedly the most choice.
"Kode's strength is really not covered." After reading the whole book, Su Shichen felt that he was wearing a heavy iron rope coat, and he was a little out of breath wearing this coat.
"Huhu ......" exhaled a deep breath of exhaust gas, and it was the first time that Su Shichen felt such a great pressure, not only the sales, but also the excitement was embarrassing.
But that's it, it can be said that it has inspired Su Shichen's fighting spirit even more, and he has beaten a classic, doesn't that feel better?
"Come on, the Alien Continent is wonderful, but the Warcraft Shijie is even more exciting, you must have confidence."
It was for this reason that Su Shichen worked harder.
The Outsider. The sensation caused by "The Real Outsider" is global, and at the same time, the release of this book instantly made the Outsider Continent called [his shijie] ranked fourth, and according to the current trend, it is going to squeeze into the top three!
In other words, to surpass this alien continent, not only to enter the top three of [his shijie], but now it is possible to obtain the second and first to achieve this goal.
Five days later, eight days after Kede issued the book, Chu Xing also announced the completion of the new book, the new book - "Song of the Stars", on sale!
"Song of the Stars" of course inherits Chu Xing's consistent level, with unbridled imagination, novel Shijie concept settings, and climactic plots.
"Song of the Stars" and "The Real Outsider" have begun to compete, and like Kode, Chu Xing's novel is also sold in English and Chinese at the same time in Shijie.
Chu Xinghao is also a Western fantasy master who has won the Hugo Award for Lifetime Achievement, and he is also prestigious throughout the country, even if Europe and the United States are not as popular as Kede, but there is no shortage of distribution channels.
This showdown, which has been hyped as a fantasy novel between China and the West and the West, has now begun!!
Sales, word-of-mouth, influence!
And Su Shichen, one of the three protagonists of this confrontation, seemed to care about his affairs at all, and ran to the school to sign up at this time...... (To be continued......)
