Chapter 451: Soaring All the Way
After a wave of arguing with Liu Zhiqing, Chu He began to wait for next Monday with peace of mind.
Next Monday, the English version of "Poetry and the Sea I" will be launched on the Amazon Book Mall, officially entering the overseas market, and I don't know if the 20,000 copies will be sold out?
This matter is also being discussed on the Internet, after all, "Poetry and the Sea" is very famous in China and has countless loyal fans, who are looking forward to the performance of "Poetry and the Sea" abroad.
Of course, black fans are everywhere, and this time they seized the opportunity to emerge again.
"If you don't want to go overseas? It is also these unvisioned slings in China who are willing to watch "Poetry and the Sea"! ”
"I have lived in New York, the capital of the United Kingdom, for more than ten years, and I can clearly tell you that Europe and the United States do not disdain our science fiction works at all, don't brag about it, shame!"
"Isn't it enough to be self-congratulatory at home? Although I haven't read "Poetry and the Sea" and don't know science fiction literature, I can be sure that Europe and the United States will definitely not bird our works! ”
There are quite a lot of black fans, and I don't know what mentality I have, I just look down on "Poetry and the Sea".
Chu He didn't care, but his fans weren't happy, so a small-scale Internet scolding war began, and "Poetry and the Sea I" has become a recent Internet hotspot.
In this case, a few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Monday arrived.
"Poetry and the Sea I" was launched on the Flaxon Book Mall as scheduled, and some unknown foreign media also reported it, and then there was no splash.
I have to say that the popularity of "Poetry and the Sea" is limited to China, and foreign media can report it because the domestic sales are too amazing. But overseas, "Poetry and the Sea" has been started from scratch, and there is almost no foundation.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there are many overseas Chinese, and they can help "Poetry and the Sea" survive the initial difficulties.
Chu He himself was very calm, lying on the swing as usual, and went to Lala Erhu to cultivate his sentiments, waiting for Liu Qiang's call.
As a result, a day passed, and Liu Qiang did not call to report the results.
However, some screenshots and inaccurate so-called messages appeared on the Internet.
""Poetry and the Sea I" only sold less than 1,000 copies in 12 hours, and the three-star praise rate is 98%, all of which are praised by Chinese!"
"Laughing to death, breaking the halberd and sinking into the sand, do you still want to slaughter the list at this level?"
"Our overseas Chinese are not powerful, don't you brush up on 100,000 copies? Come on! ”
The overseas sales of "Poetry and the Sea I" seem to be poor, so the black fans began to be arrogant, and they flaunted their power and rode triumphantly on the head of the Chu River.
Chu He's fans were half angry, and the scolding war between the two sides escalated, and the scolding was dark.
And at around eight o'clock in the evening, Chu He finally received a call from Liu Qiang.
"Mr. Chu, ignore the comments on the Internet, sell 1,000 copies in 12 hours, this is already a very amazing achievement. At present, "Poetry and the Sea I" has entered the 21st best-selling list of Asian books in July, and it has only been half a day! Liu Qiang was very excited.
Chu He was stunned: "Is the foreign physical book market so bleak?" A thousand Ben is so powerful? ”
"The global physical book market is so bleak, and it is a miracle that "Poetry and the Sea" has amazing sales in China, and not every book can sell hundreds of thousands of copies." Liu Qiang explained, "The Chinese are still making efforts, and I believe that foreigners will pay attention to "Poetry and the Sea I" in a few days!" ”
Chu He nodded, it turned out that it was quite good to sell a thousand copies in half a day, and the black fans didn't know the market of the Flaxon Book Mall, so they just sprayed randomly.
Chu He relaxed his heart and waited.
There was nothing to do all night, and at eight o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chu He came back from the exercise, wiping his sweat and taking a look at the Internet.
The latest news is that "Poetry and the Sea I" has sold 3,000 copies, and the momentum is gratifying.
And Chu He's fans have also begun to fight back, because "Poetry and the Sea I" has already reached the top 10 on the Asian best-selling list of Asian books!
It sells little, but it ranks high, and the overseas market cannot be compared with the domestic market, and "Poetry and the Sea" has a large number of online readers in China, otherwise it would not have sold so many copies.
Therefore, overseas results should not be based on sales, but on rankings.
Liu Qiang called again to report the results.
"Mr. Chu, one day on the shelves, 3,200 copies were sold, and a lot of English has appeared in the comments, not only Chinese people have bought it!"
The support of the Chinese is very important, but if only the Chinese support, then "Poetry and the Sea I" will definitely hit the streets, and the recognition of "Poetry and the Sea I" by foreign markets is the king.
Chu He is still calm, this matter is in a hurry, and he can't control the market, so he can only wait.
He simply ignored it, made a big meal and went to the hotel group company to see his wife.
Chu He thought that Liu Zhiqing was busy with work, but Liu Zhiqing was deserting, staring at the computer to watch the news of "Poetry and the Sea I", and she cared more than anyone else.
Chu He was happy, and suddenly startled her: "Ghost! ”
Liu Zhiqing was really startled, and then scratched Chu He like a frenzied tigress: "You bastard!" ”
She didn't even care if she was in the office.
Chu He pressed her against the wall and kissed her: "Wife, my husband came to bring you food, and you treat me like this?" ”
"Humph! You deserve it! Liu Zhiqing huffed, opened the lunch box familiarly, and ate it in the office.
Chu He leaned over to look at the computer: "Why do you open a trumpet and scold black fans?" ”
"They are so brain-dead, they scold and anger when they don't understand anything!" Liu Zhiqing was on fire, as a domineering president, where did she do this before, all because she wanted to maintain Chu He.
Chu He was moved and funny, and helped her close the webpage: "My editor said that the results of "Poetry and the Sea I" are very good, and you will be able to slap the face of black fans in a few days, so you don't need to be angry." ”
"Really?" Liu Zhiqing was overjoyed, and then frowned, "But the sales are so low, it seems that the foreign physical book market is not good." ”
This is the truth, but it is also a helpless situation.
"Don't worry, let's just wait with peace of mind, if you're really angry, I'll help you vent your anger." Chu He rubbed his hands and smiled evilly.
Liu Zhiqing was ashamed, raised her hand and hit him: "You bastard......"
Another day passed, and Chu He did not return to Longding Bay, but stayed in Liu Zhiqing's dormitory - Liu Zhiqing was not busy with work for the past two days, and it was okay to live together.
Waking up early in the morning, Chu He kissed Liu Zhiqing in his arms and went online to see the latest situation.
Looking at this, he saw that "Poetry and the Sea I" was on the Weibo hot search list.
"Poetry and the Sea I topped the Asian best-selling list of Asian books, selling nearly 10,000 copies in two days!"
This title is actually very common in China, and it is normal to sell nearly 10,000 copies in two days. But it's not ordinary in the Alexon Book Mall, it's definitely a hit!
Chu He himself was also surprised, why did he suddenly reach the top? No. 1 on the best-selling list of books in Asia?
Surprised, Liu Qiang's call came, Chu He hurriedly answered, and Liu Qiang's laughter rushed over.
"Hahaha, Mr. Chu, it's done! "Poetry and the Sea I" has a ferocious momentum, all the way to the wild, has attracted attention on the Internet in Europe and the United States, many well-known Chinese have promoted, and, last night, Australian science fiction literature master Gray Egan publicly said that "Poetry and the Sea I" is the most impactful work he has ever seen! ”
Liu Qiang couldn't keep his mouth shut: "This Mr. Gray Egan is a big figure in the European and American science fiction literature circles, and he is good friends with Mr. Ma Ruiran, so I watched "Poetry and the Sea I" for the first time, and it was because of his recommendation that the sales of "Poetry and the Sea I" increased significantly last night! ”
(Because I don't know much about the foreign book market, I can only use "The Three-Body Problem" as a reference, let's take a look at the data of "The Three-Body Problem".) The English version of "Three-Body Problem I" was launched in November 14, when it was not very popular in China, and the global sales exceeded 20,000 copies in February 15, during which it once topped the Asian book sales list and the top 100 books in the United States, and by the end of 15, the global sales exceeded 110,000 copies, and the current domestic sales have exceeded one million copies)
