Chapter 564: The Myth of Twenty Million Copies Sold
January 15th.
A lot of things have happened during this time, and these things are affecting Li Chencan's various lives in the United States.
Li Chencan has done a lot of successful things here, from his own space step to other industries, and all fields are like that.
And in the past few days, the news of "Prison Break" and the current news of "Harry Potter" have made Li Chencan once again stand on the cusp of North America.
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has reached 7.08 million copies so far, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has sold 5.19 million copies, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" has also sold 3.55 million copies, and another series, "Twilight: Twilight", has also directly sold 4.71 million copies......
If all the three books are added together, at this moment, the cumulative sales of Li Chencan's books in North America have reached a terrifying 20 million copies!
This is already almost the first person in the North American publication market!
The first person in history!
There has never been such a situation before, and in one year, what he wrote sold 20 million copies!
Of course, this reason is that Li Chencan has a lot of books...... Who else has the strength to write four books in one year?
After all, if other writers want to publish four books in a very short period of time, it can only be four consecutive books, and the series is a series in a row...... But in such a situation, they may not be able to publish four books in a year.
Even the most famous writers. Before his book is published, the publisher will also worry that his book may not attract more attention from everyone, and that all his books will not sell well...... Such fears are not unfounded. Therefore, people do not dare to sign long-term contracts with such writers for four or five books.
Not to mention. If a very popular article appears in a publishing house, and each copy can sell for a great profit, then the publishing house will try to postpone the release of such a book a little bit...... This is to extend the influence of a book, and to extend the benefits of a book to a publishing house as much as possible.
However, for Li Chencan, he doesn't have so many worries because he has a lot of books in his head. There was no need to extend the publisher's benefits too much, so he just sent these books out, and there was nothing wrong anyway.
Under this idea of Li Chencan. The miracle of 20 million sales also appeared.
Four books, 20 million copies!
What a horrible thing this is?!
Soon, the whole of America was in a huge boil, including the publishing world, and many other different people in the field, who were really boiling over at this moment.
The sales of 20 million copies really scared a lot of people.
"Li Chencan became the first person in the North American publication market! The sales of 20 million copies a year shocked the entire world. ”
"Harry Potter and Twilight became the best-selling series. Fantasy fiction is coming to life......"
…… All sorts of news stories unfolded. Selling 20 million copies is a surprise to anyone, let alone in one country.
Moreover, Li Chencan has not made such achievements in his own country...... No, to put it more strongly, he still didn't use his native language to get to the point where he is now, a Chinese writes in English, and then sells 20 million copies a year in the United States!
What the fuck is this called?
It is really impossible to describe such an achievement other than a miracle.
In the midst of everyone's astonishment. Li Chencan also announced, after February. The second book in his Twilight series, Twilight: New Moon, will also be released...... This also brings with it the strong expectations of more people and the madness of some people.
Because this book is so popular...... The fire is unimaginable.
Since Li Chencan's "Twilight" was really released, and the current book has achieved its current achievements, Li Chencan has experienced a lot of things in the middle, and of course has cultivated tens of thousands of readers who like this book.
On January 15, there was an American literary award, which awarded the Most Popular Author Award to Li Chencan...... At this moment, as many flashes lit up, Li Chencan was frozen in the picture.
After that, there was a lot of hype about the significance of Li Chencan receiving this award on this day, and soon began to be hyped in many places - the first Chinese to win this award!
Indeed, Li Chencan has created an achievement from scratch, after all, this kind of award is only evaluated once a year, and there have not been too many people over the years, let alone the Chinese in it...... As a result, the current Li Chencan was nominated for this award for the first year, and he actually got this huge award!
Not to mention that this award is the first Chinese to win, even the local authors in North America yearn for this award, but at the same time, they have no more opportunities to get this award, so many people are pursuing this award every year. After all, once the award is transformed into economic benefits, what can be brought is really high...... Everyone wants to get this award, and the most important thing is not how much honor the award can bring, but how much benefit such an award can bring to them.
Such a huge benefit is indeed quite good, which is why so many people are vying for it. However, this year's competition has become useless, because this award is now in Li Chencan's pocket...... He became the first Chinese in history to win this award, carrying countless glory and glory.
In the face of such a thing, the authors of many publishing houses and even the responsible people of many publishing houses are quite unhappy, because they feel that such an award should not be sent to Li Chencan in any case.
As a result, all kinds of strange things began to appear-
"If you get this award if you have high sales, then you can write books and try to cater to the market, what spirit do you need to express? I don't think it's necessary! ”
"It's strange that an award that many people can't compete for is actually won by a Chinese...... Can a person who speaks Chinese know more about English novels than someone who uses English? Anyway, I think some people have a lot of moisture in their sales. SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS COMMENT USE THE WORD SOMEONE, SO THERE IS A STRONG IRONY SIMILAR TO THAT OF SOME PEOPLE IN THE Chinese, WHICH MAKES IT CLEAR WHO HE IS TALKING ABOUT BUT DOES NOT SAY IT EXPLICITLY......
"I used to think it was sloppy when this award was awarded, but this time, my idea has been proven again!"
…… So many comments began to appear gradually, and now everyone really began to have some cynicism about Li Chencan's winning this award.
In fact, such a thing, whether it is Li Chencan or who...... Even some ordinary readers feel that the scene happening in front of them is really conceivable - isn't this pink eye! What they can't get is obtained by others, and the unhappiness in their hearts will begin to vent, and their outlet for catharsis is naturally chosen on Li Chencan's body, anyway, Li Chencan is a Chinese, considered an outsider, if he is spoken, many people will also be able to form an offensive and defensive alliance, it is easy to bully him.
Faced with the negative evaluation of so many people, Li Chencan laughed it off.
He doesn't really care about pink eye, and he believes that when his next book comes out, he will definitely give them a slap in the face with sales...... Actually, it's not a slap in the face, but at least, they will be forced to back down in front of their own writing, which is getting higher and higher. They can only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, because at that time, they will find that no matter how many words they say, the things that others should be on fire are still on fire, and the things that others should be crazy about selling.
So Li Chencan didn't pay attention to their plans.
On January 19th......
On this day, Hank James has finished filming the last set of shots, and now the entire crew is looking at Li Chencan, waiting to listen to his signal, because this is the last shot in the whole movie, and everyone is waiting for his speech...... Life and death are in Li Chencan's mouth.
After reading a paragraph, he thought carefully about the things that were shown in it, and for a long time, Li Chencan bowed slightly.
"Yay!"
All of a sudden, the whole crew became a sea of joy, similar to the finale in China, but there were all kinds of actions to celebrate...... Hank James, for example, they're now writhing their butts and doing a very lewd dance.
"Hey, buddy! Come dance with me! Hank James came over and dragged Li Chencan......
Li Chencan didn't have this habit of dancing, he waved his hand: "Don't come here to make a cheap ......"
“OH! God, why are you talking so viciously, I was kind enough to invite. ”
"No need, Xie Luxie." Li Chencan struggled to squeeze out of the carnival crowd, he felt that these guys were really overreacting, wasn't it the end of the movie? Is it really normal to react violently with them like this?
Could it be ...... Feeling tired of making a movie under your own hands? So, Li Chencan carried the tweeter and said, "Hey...... Why are you so excited about it? Shouldn't we be sad and weeping for leaving me right away? After all, you won't be able to meet such a good director in the future. ”
"Wow!"
After a lot of vomiting sounds sounded together, Li Chencan frowned: "It seems that you don't agree with what I said, and the red envelope after the release of the Chinese custom of saying good is canceled!" Keep having fun, everyone! Bye-on-a-blah! ”
"Director, we were wrong......" A bunch of flattering words rang out. (To be continued......)
