Chapter 297 Global Sales (Part 2)
After the couple left, the boss placed the watch on a conspicuous shelf and put up the promotional poster.
After a while, people came to ask questions one after another. Most of them bought a watch and took it away without saying anything.
The boss touched his unshaven chin and felt that he had made the right move.
It seems that fans of "Infinite World" have great purchasing power. If we can buy more, it should sell well.
At this time, there are already discussions on Twitter and Facebook about the new peripherals of "Infinite World".
It is not difficult to find someone who can speak Chinese in the entire Aimei brand. Soon someone will translate all the watches posted on the Internet.
Most of the names appear to be members of the Zhongzhou Team, which are characters who have appeared in the book.
The mission objectives here include plot characters that have appeared in the previous two books, and a few that have not appeared before.
For example, "Cyric", "David Martinez" and "Sun Wukong", only these three characters have been discovered so far, and they have never appeared before.
Although no one knows who the "David" in the middle is, Sun Wukong is easy to guess.
Considering that Chen was born in China, it is certain that the traditional Chinese myth "Journey to the West" will appear in this film.
After everyone’s guesses, “Cyric” is almost certain that he is probably DND’s Prince of Lies.
This will determine the two mission worlds.
Netizens started to get excited, this is a challenge for everyone.
Just find all similar watches and guess the corresponding work. Isn't this just like a spoiler?
Everyone worked together. Some provided screenshots of different watches to summarize, some translated Chinese characters, and some searched for past works.
Some wealthy people went all over the city, bought all the watches with different Chinese characters, and then took pictures and posted them online.
However, the number is obviously not enough, and the mission objectives in the previous two works have not been collected.
Damn it, the publisher actually cheated and distributed it nationwide.
But this is not a problem for netizens who are already fully in the zone.
The entire event has become a trend through word of mouth.
Many netizens expressed their participation and took the initiative to upload and summarize different pictures in the picture.
After nearly a week of collection, everyone has finally collected all types of watches.
Except "DND" and "Journey to the West".
Others, such as "Avengers" and "Eva", may be the mission world in the third part, and most of them have been guessed by netizens with great abilities.
Only a few characters did not see through.
Including "David Martinez".
“F**K, who is this David?”
“This is the full name. It should be easy to distinguish. Why can’t I find it? I can’t find it. As a Chinese, have you read English novels that we haven’t read? ”
"No, I searched on Google many times and changed similar spellings, but I couldn't find similar qualifying works."
"I looked through many books in the library and couldn't find it. ”
“It’s not an accident, right?”
“It shouldn’t be. There is also Lucy who can’t be found with David. It feels like the two are together.”
Just when netizens were at a loss what to do, a message from an international student inspired everyone.
"This should be an important character in "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker". David and Lucy are the male and female protagonists of a story line respectively."
"Is there such a book? Why can't I find it? ?”
“Yes, there is a novella just released in the latest issue of China’s "Grudge" magazine. It is written by Xiao Chen. Depending on the situation, there is a lot of content. There should be more than one. ."
"What? Chen is doing it again, where are you putting this set?"
"I want to see the translated version urgently!"
"Same request!"
The sharing spirit of the Internet in this era is not limited. Some netizens have actually uploaded pictures.
Then someone took over the translation, and everyone watched it with gusto.
The Internet between Europe and the United States has no boundaries. European readers will naturally see such a large-scale online event and follow it throughout the process.
The discussion in their local area is very hot.
The surrounding areas even quickly spread to European countries.
The overall public opinion has been completely pushed to a climax by this major event that appears to be spontaneous among netizens but is actually driven by marketing behind it.
At this time, there are only three days left before the unified global release time.
Reading enthusiasts in Europe and the United States are relatively normal. Even readers who are enthusiastic about the "Infinite World" series only sincerely look forward to new books being put on the shelves as soon as possible and want to see new content.
The Asian area has something different mixed in.
Due to Professor Chen's popularity throughout Eastern Asia, the fan base has expanded too much in a short time. Most of them are young people and have only one mentality towards their idol.
That is to dig out your heart and lungs.
The most disturbing thing is that for some reason, the fans of Bangguo, Neon and Huaguo started arguing in the air.
"Professor Chen's most important series of works is completed. Everyone's love for the professor should be judged by sales volume. We, the Republic of China, are not weaker than others."
"Nani? The country wants to If you want to have a try with us, just kidding, you are of the same size as I am, the market gap is so big, we, Neon, will definitely outdo all other countries, and we are the ones who love Professor Chen the most.”
"Haha, it's a comparison of size, isn't it? China is the professor's home. I'm not bragging. Come on together."
...
"These people are crazy." Ishihara Rina didn't want to get involved in these fools' war at all. She opened Amazon's website and checked the ten copies of "Infinite World 3" she had pre-ordered, plus the twenty copies of the first two volumes that had arrived, and counted on her fingers who to give it to when the time came.
"Lea-chan, Aiko, Koharu, Mitsuki..."
She sighed, "Hey, there are not enough female friends, how about giving a spare tire as well?"
But this quantity is not enough, which is really annoying.
Having just completed the entire European and American promotional activities, Chen Linfeng returned to the Los Angeles hotel, his body fell on the bed, and he did not want to move.
"Xiaofeng, good news."
Sister Mei pushed the door in and shouted excitedly.
Pete followed with a smile on his face, "Chen, you are so foresighted. It is a good idea to wait for a few years before making a breakthrough."
Chen Linfeng reluctantly turned over and looked at them.
“What good news makes you so happy?”
Sister Mei’s smile did not diminish, “According to Amazon statistics, the number of online pre-sales has exceeded 300,000.”
Chen Linfeng has not paid much attention to Amazon’s data and has no idea about the number 300,000.
"Is this data very good?"
"Incredibly good."
Pete continued, "According to the sales ratio of other best-selling books on Amazon, the total first-day sales of all channels, Usually it will be 3-5 times the pre-sale quantity.”
“Yes, that is to say, we will most likely exceed 1 million copies on the first day.”
Sister Mei thinks, This may have been her crowning moment.
One million copies were sold on the first day. Anyone who has been exposed to physical sales will understand the value of this number.
Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows, "How much is the first day of "Harry Potter"?"
The two were silent for a moment.
After a long while, Peter moved his lips and said hesitantly, "Let's not compare with "Harry Potter". Its first-day data is incomparable to the Guinness Book of Records."
“Yes,” Chen Linfeng spread his hands,
"So this is not particularly exciting news, is it?
If the first-day sales data are good, I will be happy, but I can't be too excited. After all, there is still a monster of 11 million copies in the first day ahead. Existence, we are still far away."
Pete took two steps back exaggeratedly, "Chen, you are as calm as a monster, don't restrain yourself at this time, you can be happy."
< br>Sister Mei is familiar with Xiaofeng's character and knows that the other party really thinks so, but she is really not that excited.
She rubbed her face, and the hot emotions in her heart gradually calmed down.
Yes, there is still a "Harry Potter" on their head. They only hope to achieve one-tenth of others' figures, so there is nothing to be happy about.
If you don’t even dare to think about it, then don’t expect to do it one day.
"Indeed, compared with "Harry Potter", our results are nothing, so we shouldn't be too excited." Sister Mei nodded solemnly.
"Oh, you two are really..." Pete said in disbelief.
“Our round of promotional activities has been completed. The next two days and the first week after the release will be the hot sales period. Do you want to do something more?”
Sister Mei got into work mode, "I think I can push back some Asian countries that were previously rejected because of insufficient time, and I can contact local publishing companies for docking.
In addition, South America and China The sub-region can also be maintained appropriately. The number of local fans is not small, and maybe it can open up the market.”
Chen Linfeng instantly became Spartan, I asked you to calm down, but this is not a calm method. .
But thinking about it, there was no particularly good reason to refuse, so I had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I have no objection. I just need to take a day off and start the process again tomorrow, okay?"
"Well, it just so happens that I also need time to contact you, and it also takes time to prepare for local activities."
After Sister Mei finished speaking, she turned around and went to work.
Pete looked at her back in awe.
"Chen, your manager is too powerful. Hasn't she been running activities with you? Won't she be tired?"
"This is a strong woman."
Chen Linfeng gave him a look and let him realize it for himself.
Time passed very quickly when Chen Linfeng’s team set off to Southeast Asia to start publicity.
April 12th is here.
"Infinite World 3" kicks off.
Amazon’s warehouses across the country have begun shipping to buyers who have pre-ordered.
All American independent bookstores and Disney Publishing Company's chain bookstores across Europe and the United States have put the latest "Infinite World 3" on their shelves.
Neon Kodansha’s offline bookstores have also put Teacher Kirin’s new works on display for sale.
A long queue had formed in front of Bangguo's bookstore early. Most of these people were girls, and many of them were fans of the professor who came to buy books.
The exterior wall posters of Huaguo Bookstore were replaced with themed posters from the "Infinite World" series, and some bookstores' in-store broadcasts began to loop advertisements for Xiao Chen's new books.
Europe, Asia, North and South America...
Almost all bookstores in prosperous areas are grandly launching Chen Linfeng's new book.
Domestic media called it "an unprecedented spectacle", which is a treatment that domestic writers have never received.
"Infinite World 3" is now available on the global market!
