"Anyway, it's been half a month since you negotiated a contract with that guy from Cook, how are the sales of the novel?"

"It's okay. It's just that it performs quite passable in the new books of the same period, and it is still not comparable to some famous old authors. ”

"Be content, little boy! What else do you want to do with your first book? Is it really compared with those old authors who have been famous for many years? ”

"Of course! Anyway, I'm also a junior of Sheriff Marcus, if I can't compare to them, won't it be a shame for your old man. ”

"You stinky boy......"

In the co-pilot of the police car, Li Congxin was chatting and laughing with Sheriff Marcus of the Manhattan Police Department.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are easy to do, even in the rice country of the Marvel world.

Coincidentally, it was the team led by Marcus who went to the police today. When he found out that the person concerned was Li Congxin's, the focus of his concern immediately changed from the street brawl case to whether Li Congxin's injuries were serious or not.

And those gangsters, who obviously had a lot of criminal records, ran away when they heard the siren sound.

Li Congxin, as the only party involved, is still an acquaintance of Sheriff Marcus, so the truth of the matter doesn't depend on what he says?

In this way, Li Congxin became a victim of the bad law and order in New York City and a good citizen who bravely fought the gangsters. After a simple bandage by a specialist paramedic at the police station, Sheriff Marcus personally drove him home, like a princeling.

If those thugs saw this scene, I don't know if they wouldn't want to call 911 to call the police?

"I suggest you buy your own car. At least don't try to save trouble and walk through those remote alleys, the security ...... in New York" Downstairs at Li Congxin's house, Marcus couldn't help but admonish, but his identity was really not qualified to complain about public security, and he could only cough dryly when the words came to his lips: "You want to be safe." ”

"Thank you Uncle Marcus for the reminder, I will." Li Congxin promised happily, but what would happen, he didn't say.

Will you buy a car, or will you pay attention to safety, or will you continue to walk the middle of nowhere?

When he went upstairs after saying goodbye to Marcus, Li Congxin glanced at the hundreds of impression points that had skyrocketed on the system interface, and Li Congxin already had his own decision in his heart.

………………

Driven by interests, the efficiency of the people of the United States can still be guaranteed.

After signing the contract, it only took one week for the publishing house to complete a series of preparations such as cover design, advertising, typography and printing, and on Monday of the second week, it officially began to go on sale in major bookstores in the city.

However, because the publicity work in the early stage was done in a hurry, and Li Congxin was an out-and-out newcomer, the sales in the first two days of the shelves could only be regarded as passable, and it did not show the strength that Dou Po should have.

However, from the third day, the sales of "Breaking the Sky" began to soar all the way, and by the time the sales statistics of the first week came out, its performance had already crushed the works of other newcomers, and even had the momentum of matching the sales of old authors.

The following week, that momentum became a reality. With a cumulative sales of 100,000 copies, "Breaking the Sky" ranked in the middle of the best-selling book list. This achievement can be said to have occupied a place in the literary world of the United States, you must know that all the books that were released at the same time as "Breaking the Sky" participated in this competition, including but not limited to novels.

As a simple example, the "Playboy" series of impurities published in the same issue is also within the scope of this evaluation!

If you only count the sales of fiction works, "Breaking the Sky" is already one of the best.

As for why the sales volume is so coincidental, it just reaches the integer of 100,000 copies, no more, no less?

In fact, this is not because of a coincidence, but because the publishing house printed 100,000 copies!

The first volume of 100,000 copies of "Breaking the Sky" was sold out on Friday of the second week. As a result, the prime time of the weekend was missed, which affected its sales a lot. And if in China, for the sake of performance, the publishing house will definitely organize workers to work overtime to print to meet market demand.

But this is the United States, a country that pays attention to "freedom and democracy" in the official face, and the workers' sense of rights protection is also terrifyingly strong.

Overtime?

Hehe!

Inexistent!

However, in this way, it happens to fit the concept of hunger marketing.

For a while, it became a fashion to watch "Breaking the Sky", especially among teenagers, this trend is becoming more and more unstoppable. coincides with the beginning of the school season, and owning a copy of "Breaking the Sky" has become a capital to show off in front of classmates.

The topics discussed by the students during class are all closely related to "Breaking the Sky", what "don't bully the poor youth", "burn the trick", "karmic fire red lotus", "terrifying" has become their mantra, those who have seen it can blow it up, and those who have not seen it can only listen to thunder.

Of course, the classmates who listened to the duck were not reconciled, but the books on the market had been sold out, and they could only save enough money, and secretly swore in their hearts that after the new book was introduced, they would buy a hardcover deluxe edition as soon as possible, so that you could be embarrassed in front of me!

………………

In a bar in Manhattan, two teenagers who look like Quicksilver and a fat man are chatting around the topic of "Breaking the Sky".

One of the black-haired youths who looked like Quicksilver suddenly spoke, "You two, have you ever thought about becoming a superhero?" ”

Another blonde-haired young man who resembled Quicksilver immediately shook his head and said, "Wow! Dave, you're crazy, you can think of this kind of thing? "Breaking the Sky" is just a story after all, don't take it too seriously, not to mention that 'Xiao' is not a superhero in the traditional sense. ”

The "black-haired Quicksilver", known as Dave, shook his head seriously and said, "I know, but I see a brave and persistent heart in him, and I believe that is what it takes to become a superhero." ”

At this time, the little fat man sitting on the side couldn't help but say, "Oh, Dave. I advise you to give up your unrealistic ideas as soon as possible, we live in a society that is completely different from what is described in the book! ”

Hearing the unanimous opposition of the two companions, Dave shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that Clark is not here, otherwise, he would definitely be on my side." ”

The blonde Quicksilver couldn't help nodding at this time: "That guy has been working out recently and learning oriental martial arts, and he does look like he wants to be a superhero." However, as far as I know, his fitness began as soon as he was on summer vacation, and learning kung fu was also before the release of "Breaking the Sky". ”

The black-haired Quicksilver didn't say anything more, but from his eyes, there was a hint of determination.

……

"Pete!" Meanwhile, in a private house in Queens, Ben Parker opened the door and shouted out his sweet nephew's name.

Soon, a teenager who looked to be only seven or eight years old ran out of the room and said, "Uncle Ben, you're back." ”

"Pete, see what gift I brought you back?" As he spoke, Ben took out a hardcover copy of "Breaking the Sky" from his backpack and shook it in front of Pete.

Young Pete's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he jumped high with excitement, and after taking the book from Ben's hand, he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "This is just so cool, Uncle Ben, do you know, how many classmates in our class who have this book are so energetic at school!" ”

"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people to be poor!"

"I, Pete Parker, will become a man like 'Shaw' in the future!"

………………

On a bench in an unknown town, a middle-aged man in a black dress and holding a civilized stick put down the "Breaking the Sky" in his hand and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect that the subjective initiative of human beings actually contains such huge potential, and can even change their lives against the sky?" ”

Shaking his head, it was obvious that he was very unimpressed with the statement of "changing his life against the sky".

However, after taking another look at "Breaking the Sky", which had been put together by him, he still shook his head and said to himself: "Although you can't change your life against the sky, you can improve work efficiency." In this way, the boy named Johnny is not the best choice......"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man stood up and walked in the direction of New York City.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretches his shadow very long, but if one looks closely, they will definitely find that his shadow is not the same as the appearance of a gentleman, and looks more like a devil with a rickety body!

………………

Situations like Dave and Pitt are happening all over New York City, but more people are just watching the fun, and there are very few stunned people who are really inspired to become superheroes because of a novel.

Beginning in the third week, the publishing house immediately became operational, stopping all other work that could be suspended, and tilting all resources into the printing of "Breaking the Sky". The owner of the publishing house looked at this week's sales data and was relieved, and directly added a bonus to Cook, and asked him to continue to keep in touch with Li Congxin, if the publishing rights of "Breaking the Sky" can be completely negotiated, he will be promoted to the editor-in-chief directly!

At the same time, the owner of the publishing house also lost no time in signing contracts with other publishing houses and began to borrow resources from other publishing houses to expand the printing volume.

Since early Monday morning, the second batch of printed "Breaking the Sky" has been on sale, and major bookstores have been overcrowded.

And when the sales statistics of the third week came out, its results shocked everyone's attention, and "Breaking the Sky" became the runner-up in New York City's book sales in the same period with a sales volume of more than 3.4 million copies, and its sales were all under the impurities of "Playboy".

And the craze for breaking through the sky has just begun!

With the hot sale of the new book, Li Congxin also gained a large number of impression values, and after adding it to a few BGMs, his system attributes became ......
