Chapter 314: A Better Idea
Finally, on this day, which is also the seventeenth day of the release of "The Frozen Throne", on this day, Zuihou's sales statistics are 7.1 million copies, which is a very crazy number.
You must know that the first-day sales of Kode's "The Real Outsider" only exceeded 10 million on the first day plus Europe and the United States.
If Su Shichen was as popular as he was in the United States when "The Frozen Throne" was released, he could completely surpass Kede's sales of 10 million copies on the first day.
At that time, Su Shichen's sales in China rushed to 7.3 million copies, plus more than 1 million copies in the island country, the first-day sales were nearly 9 million copies, and as for Europe and the United States, there were only tens of thousands of copies, which was the reason why he did not exceed Kede's first-day sales.
Seven million 1 million, this number is infinitely close to the record he set on the first day.
It was six sevenths higher than normal sales, and even the time when Su Shichen was shot did not reach such an exaggerated level. After investigation, it was found that two-thirds of the extra six-sevenths came from Shanshi's online sales platform, that is, Station F.
Zhang Yang is a statistician at a newspaper. Chu Xing has been defeated in the confrontation, and Su Shichen is the only hope, so everything about Su Shichen can be said to be infinitely magnified, so the slightest movement in "The Frozen Throne" can become the news of the media newspaper.
"How could the online sales of "The Frozen Throne" skyrocket to such a point in one day, there must be something wrong with this."
Zhang Yang clicked on the sale page of "The Frozen Throne" and studied. This F station is very transparent, and on the right side of the purchase page, you can see the ID and number of buyers in the 12 hours. This setting has not changed since Anyangjun established it three years ago to sell Sherlock Holmes.
After researching and researching, Zhang Yang really discovered one thing, these purchased IDs bought a lot of copies at one time. Five or ten books are normal. It seems that there are hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands, which reader will buy so many books at one time? You say that buying less than 10 copies can be said to be taking home and collecting, but what is the matter with hundreds or even tens of thousands?
"It's okay to say that one or two of these IDs are a joint purchase, but it's completely wrong to have so many IDs like this." With years of data analysis, Zhang Yang smelled something unusual.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yang saw an even more surprising data again. There are still people who buy 100,000 copies at a time, and there is more than one such ID, and I don't know one if I turn it forward. Many of them ordered 100,000 books on station F at one time.
Suddenly, such an idea came to Zhang Yang's heart, it wouldn't be because Su Shichen or Shanshi's company knew that "The Frozen Throne" was not the opponent of "The Real Outsider", so they sent someone to brush up sales.
Selling is not uncommon in the publishing world, although the cost is somewhat significant. Because if you lie about the sales volume, you will have to pay for the tax first. Therefore, even if the average author wants to use this method, he does not have the strength. But for Su Shichen, who is not only the first in the writer list, but also the first in the online writer list, it is not difficult to brush up sales.
Zhang Yang took out a pen and paper and counted them one by one, and the results of zuihou's statistics showed that there were 17 IDs to buy 100,000 copies at a time, which means that these 17 IDs alone brought 1.7 million sales, plus hundreds of others. It's no wonder that sales can grow so much at once.
"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, Su Shichen's this is definitely a brush sales. I didn't expect it, but I finally got it. Zhang Yang was excited, "This is definitely a big news, thanks to my wit, I found it cleverly." Brush brush, Zhang Yang immediately wrote an article.
In fact, he didn't want to think about it, even if Su Shichen wanted to brush sales, it would be impossible to brush it in such an inferior way. And there is another point, he is not the only one who counts Su Shichen's data, and the others of Weishenme did not say anything. After writing the article, he sent the article to the editor-in-chief's mailbox, and then dialed it over, "Hey, editor-in-chief, I dug up a big news!" Yes, yes, you see, explosive guaranteed. ”
Zhang Yang lit a cigarette, swallowed the clouds, and proudly waited for the editor-in-chief to be surprised by his news......
Su Shichen, who still had an injury on his arm, couldn't drive by himself, but it was even more impossible to squeeze the bus, so the taxi was the most haode choice to reach Shanshi.
"Is it up to the thirty-eighth floor or the thirty-ninth floor?" The thirty-eighth floor is the comics department, and the thirty-ninth floor is the editorial department, should I go to Wang Ni first or go directly to Zhang Chen's studio? In the end, Su Shichen still pressed the elevator on the thirty-eighth floor.
Pushing open the perennially closed door, "Uh, why are you here?" Wang Ni is also in Zhang Chen's studio, and this room is still the same chaos.
"I was discussing comics with Zhang Chen just now, before Xiao Chen, you said that you are using superheroes to develop the comic market in the United States, and you are setting up some characters." Wang Ni stretched her waist.
"Xiao Chen has good news for you." A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Ni's mouth, "Your publicity is very successful, and today's sales are almost the same as the first day, 7.1 million copies." ”
Seven million and 1,000 copies, Su Shichen was taken aback, he didn't expect that there would be such a big increase, originally Su Shichen wanted to stop writing these two books, because anyway, now that his identity is exposed, there is no need, but with such strong support from book fans, how can he not reciprocate?
"Yo, Zhang Chen, it looks like you're a lot cleaner!" Su Shichen couldn't help but say when he saw Zhang Chen's current appearance, in the past, Zhang Chen was like a beggar, but now although he is still a little sloppy in dress, the beard and hair on his face are very well-groomed.
"Hehe~" Zhang Chen showed that characteristic smirk, and Su Shichen understood in seconds.
"Could it be that Zhang Chen, you have found a girlfriend?" Although he was asking, Su Shichen had basically decided, "What kind of mushroom is cool?" Bring it to me when you are going to show it. ”
"I'm a comic book fan. Very supportive of my drawing of comics. Zhang Chen seemed a little shy in terms of feelings.
Su Shichen realized, although this Zhang Chen is now considered famous, but with his current appearance and the kind of madness that can draw comics for a few days and nights, few sister papers should be able to stand it. But it's not the same if your girlfriend is a fan of comics.
"Don't talk about this, Master Su, look at how I set up the superhero character, I know that I don't have a good set of the story, so I've made up for it in the past three years, Master Su can definitely surprise you this time." Zhang Chen took out the stack of manuscripts as if offering treasures, "Considering that this superhero's comic is developing the market of the United States. That's why I called the character setting a rice country. ”
Looking at all the famous Mi superheroes, there is one thing in common, either aliens. Either it is European or American, even if it is a Chinese of Mi nationality to become a superhero, it is impossible, let alone a simple Chinese, so Zhang Chen's setting can be said to be very correct.
"Confident?" Su Shichen took the sketch.
"Confident!" Zhang Chen responded.
Su Shichen nodded. I took the manuscript and started looking. First of all, the appearance of this superhero set by Zhang Chen is a pit. Although he is a very handsome American person, the problem is that Weishenme is wearing a black suit? Hey, you're drawing superheroes, not The Matrix.
Think about it, superheroes all have their own equipment, Superman's blue tights and red underwear outfit, Batman's bat suit, Spider-Man's spider suit, even if it's Hulk without clothes. But people are also wearing green skin and have a special style, isn't it, what is Zhang Chen's suit?
That's tolerable. Continue to look down, the main thing is the plot, and no matter how well the plot scum characters are built, it's useless.
Indeed, compared with when Su Shichen discovered him three years ago, Zhang Chen has improved a lot, at least the organization is clearer, at least Su Shichen can understand the story.
Zhang Chen's sketch tells the story of a young man who fantasizes about becoming a superhero all day long, and then an ordinary person who makes all kinds of ridiculous stories, but every time he can turn evil into good fortune, until one day this rice boy meets a real superhero, and then works hard to learn to become a real superhero.
Well, when looking at this sketch, Su Shichen unconsciously remembered a comic "Wanted" from the earth in his previous life, this comic may not be familiar to many people, but it was also adapted into a movie, called "King Haibian......
This has some similarities with "King Haibian" in terms of plot.
"How? Master Su, what do you think? Zhang Chen saw that Su Shichen had finished reading it, and immediately asked, looking nervous.
There is no way, he can be said to be Su Shichen digging with one hand and holding it with the other, although Su Shichen is younger than him, but for Zhang Chen, Su Shichen is like a guide and a master, so Su Shichen's recognition is very important to him.
"It's very good, I have captured the core content of the rice country and the dream of the country, which is really a great progress!"
Su Shichen's praise made Zhang Chen scratch his head, "It's all thanks to Master Su's guidance." ”
Su Shichen's voice changed: "But I think that if such a comic is adapted into a movie, it will definitely be popular, and if the comic is ...... Probably hit the streets. ”
"Xiao Chen, my aunt thinks that Zhang Chen's comic, the plot is set quite nationally, and it shouldn't hit the street." Wang Ni said.
"Zhang Chen, you think so too, right?" Su Shichen didn't answer, but asked Zhang Chen rhetorically.
Zhang Chen nodded, although he was very convinced of Su Shichen, but he took a lot of effort to set up this superhero, and he watched a lot of American movies to set it up, although he knew that it was not as creative as Su Shichen's setting, but it would not hit the street.
Seeing that Wang Ni and Zhang Chen both questioned his judgment, Su Shichen pulled over a chair, sat in front of the two, and began to explain: "I have a more creative ......."
ps: I finished the second shift in the early morning, if it's still at night, it's inspired, roar! Ask for a monthly pass, give a reward, and let the trend of superheroes float~~ (To be continued......)
