Chapter 289: The Sale of the Gap Between Heaven and Hell (Part II)

"Xiao Chen, do you know that the first-day sales you created in "The Matrix I: Hacker Mission" were broken by the book "Song of the Stars"?"

"You know, 'Song of the Stars' smashed the record I set when I was a hacker on the first day of collecting 6.5 million, and the newspapers at the time were chattering about it."

"Then Xiao Chen, how do you feel?"

Su Shichen said with a smile: "The record was originally meant to be broken, and the book with the highest sales on the first day before this was not Brother Chu's." ”

"It's true that as Xiao Chen said, records are meant to be broken, so the Frozen Throne once again broke the record set by Chu Xing's "Song of the Stars" with a record of 7.3 million." Wang Ni had a rare smile on her face.

Hearing what Wang Ni said on the phone, even Su Shichen himself was slightly taken aback, he had no doubt about his popularity, but because of that kind of copy writing, the price was forty percent more expensive than ordinary books, but in this case, it still reached such a very yellow and violent data, it is estimated that many readers have bought two copies like Mu Xin.

"Xiao Chen, the first-day sales of your book in the island country and the mainland surpassed Chu Xing, and since the reputation in the rest of the places is relatively weak, the first-day sales of more than 10 million in the entire Asia can only be counted as comparable to Chu Xing." Su Shichen replied with an "um" sound.

Chu Xing's career for so many years is not for nothing, it is a solid foundation. Although Su Shichen's popularity in China is super high, as well as in the island country because of the boom of "Incomplete Crime" and "Dong Dong Suspension Bridge Falling" and the release of the Japanese version of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", Su Shichen is now a well-known reasoning master in the island country. Not to mention popularity, so in these two regions, Su Shichen was able to suppress Chu Xing on top of sales, but not in other regions.

For example, South Korea, Thailand, these countries. "Song of the Stars" wants to pull the "Frozen Throne" street.

But overall, it's good news......

["The Frozen Throne" sold 7.3 million copies on the first day in China and 13 million copies on the first day in Asia] Such an announcement was sent out by Shanshi Company.

As soon as the announcement was issued, the value on it made many people wonder if their eyes were spent, seven million three hundred thousand, one thousand three hundred It was like throwing a boulder into a calm lake. It's definitely a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

"The Real Outsider" broke the record for the sale of foreign works in China, while "Song of the Stars" set a new record, which was originally thought to be the end of the climax. Unexpectedly, it had just begun, and "The Frozen Throne" was devastating, breaking the record of "Song of the Stars" like the arrival of a king.

The first-day sales of 7.35 million copies are really refreshing.

This is a confrontation of Western fantasy novels. It was a lot of twists and turns. As the saying goes, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves......

"Culture Weekend" published a daoqian letter in a big way to attract attention - "The first day sales of 6.5 million, Chu Xing raised the record to this position, I was very naΓ―ve to think that this record is already the limit of a book's first-day sales in China, just when I held this view for less than a month, the first-day sales of 6.5 million copies were broken, not with a very weak advantage to break, but a gap of hundreds of thousands, the author is here daoqian." The author underestimated the energy of Chinese readers, and even underestimated Su Shichen's strength. ”

Yes, no one thought of it. Su Shichen's half-hearted fantasy novel can be tied with Chu Xing, a fantasy novelist who has been selling well for many years, on the first day of sales in Asia, which is really beyond the expectations of many people. Do you want to have that much fun?

In fact, it is not all a draw, from the perspective of economics, Su Shichen and Chu Xing's battle in Huaxia, Su Shichen has already won.

A copy of "The Frozen Throne" is 40 percent more expensive than a copy of "Song of the Stars", and the value it creates is self-evident with the same sales.

Seeing that "The Frozen Throne" is so popular, the sales rate has completely surpassed "Song of the Stars", and the excitement that people can't put down, coupled with that unique Shijie view, does it really have a chance to beat Kode's "The Real Outsider"? Maybe there's a silver lining......

"The Frozen Throne" defeated "The Real Outsider", and Chinese Western fantasy defeated Western orthodox fantasy, if this is really realized, it can definitely be said to be a scene that witnesses history.

Many readers were looking forward to the soonness of this scene, but it was at this time that the sales of "The Frozen Throne" abroad came back......

Even with the full help of Wuling Publishing House, The Frozen Throne sold less than 100,000 copies on the first day in Europe.

Right! "The Frozen Throne," which sold more than 7 million copies on the first day of China alone, sold less than 100,000 copies in Europe and the United States.

It's a huge hit in Asia, but in Europe, even if you go all out with a top publishing house, it's a huge bestseller.

Not to mention comparing it with Kode, even Chu Xing's first-day sales in Europe and the United States had more than two million copies, compared with one, it seems that it is not a level at all.

The first day has opened up such a big gap, how can it be compared?

Well, this time the confrontation of Western fantasy novels seems to have been decided...... No matter how popular your novel is in Asia, if it doesn't work in the West, it will still face a fiasco.

The day after the release of "The Frozen Throne", sales were still unusually hot in Asia, but what about in Europe? There has been a slight increase in sales, from yesterday's 80,000 to today's 120,000, which should be considered gratifying, but what is the use of such a small increase?

For a book like "The Real Outsider", which uses millions or even tens of millions of copies to sell as a unit, tens of thousands of dollars are simply a drop in the bucket.

Day 3...... Day 4...... Over the course of a week, "The Real Outsider" has sold more than 100 million copies. And "Song of the Stars" has also sold more than 50 million copies, but "The Frozen Throne" is less than 20 million copies, less than one-fifth of "The Real Outsider".

Needless to say, the sales in the first week are called a bleak. The taunt "You can only see my taillights" is often used in racing competitions, and compared to sales, "The Frozen Throne" now can't even see the taillights of "The Real Outsider" and "Song of the Stars".

Super debate

One is a program with a lot of personality, two hosts, one is Situ Jin and the other is called Sima Fang, well, in fact, these two are not compound surnames, they are just surnamed Si. The main attraction of this super argument is that the two moderators argue about some of the recent highlights and then hold different points of view. And the topic of their argument today is the confrontation situation of Western fantasy......

Sima Fang said, "I feel that Writer Su is really courageous, but he is really embarrassed, and he deliberately brought "The Frozen Throne" to the competition. As a result, I got a zuihou, well, this is lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot, so I still can't be too confident in being a man, and I must have an accurate recognition of my own strength. We don't want to do anything beyond this level of awareness. ”

Weishenme said that the Su writer was a Zuihou one. The Frozen Throne has only been on the market for a week. Situ Jin retorted, "And you must know that "The Frozen Throne" is now the first place on the best-selling book list of the island country, this kind of achievement is almost unsurpassed by Chu Da, and the confrontation is not over yet, it is still very early." ”

"Even if "The Frozen Throne" is the number one best-selling book in the island country? What if Asia is hot? However, in the United States, it is not even ranked in the top 500 of the best-selling list, and the confrontation can only be that the gap is getting bigger and bigger. The more Sima Fang said, the more reasonable it seemed to be.

"Writer Su has always been a miracle maker, and I believe that this time he will definitely be able to create miracles."

"Miracles? "The Frozen Throne" is not loved by Western readers, and without the support of readers in Europe and the United States, how can Su Shichen create miracles. How to reverse ......" TV screen goes black and then changes to a program.

Wang Ni took the TV remote control and turned a station, and then asked, "Pressure to see these?" ”

"Huh. Pressure? How can there be pressure. Su Shichen shook his head, "I took the English version of "The Frozen Throne" into account when I wrote it, and the characters and dialogues in it are all in the style of the United States, if such novels are not suitable for the United States, then I really don't know what other novels are suitable for the United States." ”

"I fully understand that the reason why 'The Frozen Throne' doesn't sell well in Europe and the United States is because of the lack of fame and a kind of cultural resistance, and I know this very well." Su Shichen seemed very calm, jokingly and even saying that "Warcraft" was not suitable for Europe and the United States. "So I'm not in a hurry, only by advertising CG anime to open up popularity, sales will naturally improve."

That's the reason, no matter how good you look, no matter how wonderful the content is, no one knows, no one will buy it at all, so what?

"Xiao Chen, you really understand, it seems that your aunt is too careful." Wang Ni smiled and put down the newspaper in her hand.

"News about me?" The corner of Su Shichen's eyes was aimed at the newspaper headline with his name "Su Shichen will lose the duel, and the welcome party will vent his depression", and there is also the image of singing the song "Love.is.color.blind" at the orientation party of Tsinghua University the day before yesterday.

This is really a wall down and everyone pushes it, these newspapers and periodicals, as well as the program just now, it seems that they can't keep up with the trend if they don't hack him. It seems that he is embarrassing to participate in this confrontation of Western fantasy novels, and Su Shichen did not come forward to make any response, because he knew that only when "The Frozen Throne" became popular in Europe could these people be completely shut up!

"Woo~~" Wang Ni's phone rang suddenly, and after answering the phone, Wang Ni's cold face changed greatly. What is it that makes Wang Ni have such a big reaction?

Su Shichen couldn't wait to ask this question: "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

"Yesterday's sales of "The Frozen Throne" in the United States ......" said that there was a sudden pause here, and I don't know if it was intentional or intentional.

"Auntie's sales of "The Frozen Throne" in the United States are already very poor, how bad can it be."

"It's not very bad, just now someone from Wuling Publishing House called and said that the sales of "The Frozen Throne" in the United States exceeded two million copies yesterday."

"Two Million ?!!"

"Auntie, are you sure you're not talking about two hundred copies, not twenty thousand, but two million copies."

You must know that the sales in the whole of Europe before were only 100,000 copies, and then the United States alone never exceeded 40,000 copies, and this time it soared to 2 million copies, which is too terrifying, what is the situation.

"Wang Ni got the CG anime and put it on the United States TV?" But even so, the effect is inevitably too good.

"No, Xiao Chen, didn't you say that it would be completed tomorrow?" Wang Ni was also very surprised.

CG promotional animation has not yet been launched, but the sales are really rising, although Su Shichen believes that "The Frozen Throne" will definitely be a big hit in the United States, but it really can't be such an unclear big sell, confused, I don't understand!

In fact, the story has to start from ...... (To be continued......)
