Chapter 299 Sales Miracle
After seven or eight years of Chen Linfeng's "Infinite World" series, students who were originally in junior high school or high school are now at least in college.
This is their youth, even if the final chapter is not so good, they can still enjoy it for a while.
What’s more, the writing far exceeded their expectations, and it was simply a perfect ending.
At this time in China, there are constantly excited book friends venting their emotions online.
Everywhere he went, he was completely devastated and burned with karma. All forums and communities became like Xiao Chen.
Irrelevant people will have the illusion that they have landed on the wrong webpage whenever they go online.
No matter which forum you turn to, as long as someone talks, someone is talking about the new book "Infinite World".
Some people are extremely annoyed, but due to the current headwind situation, they dare not say anything more.
Some people became curious about this book and wondered whether they should buy it and read it.
Chen Linfeng's casual fan base is too huge, and core book fans and drama fans may only account for a very small part of it.
If you want to convert casual fans who only know a little about Xiao Chen’s story, you often only need to read his works.
And this time is a good opportunity.
Beyond China, the situation is also very different.
Excluding new book fans like Li Deshan who have been following the book since the first one, old readers will find it completely crazy.
Some people brag online, while others go crazy offline.
In some university dormitories, shortly after the lights are turned on, there will be a burst of monkey noises from time to time. Needless to say, it must have just been watching "Infinite World 3".
Neon, Tokyo.
After reading the new book, Rina Ishihara added a lottery link to the website she established.
As long as netizens have voted before, they can participate in the lottery.
The winner will receive a copy of "Infinite World 3" directly, with a total of 500 prizes.
I just gave away all my pocket money for a month.
Malay, Lijiapo, Annan...
Professor Chen once again ruled eastern Asia.
Domestic writers were dumbfounded. This was a sight they could not even dream of.
The last time a novel caused such a large-scale discussion was when the last Harry Potter book was released.
At that time, there was also a period of heated discussion in China, but it was not so exaggerated.
This may be the case abroad. I heard from foreign news at that time that a large number of fans cosplayed as characters in the book and participated in the carnival.
Some authors are a little relieved, but fortunately Xiao Chen has not reached this level yet.
But such a situation is something they cannot ignore.
The media is even more so.
They are paying close attention to the release of "Infinite World 3" throughout the process.
During the day, reporters went to the bookstore to interview readers waiting in line.
There are also reporters who specifically look for large bookstores in big cities like Yanjing and Shenhai, and then choose the most crowded times to take pictures of book lovers gathering to buy books.
Whether it is literature, entertainment media, or social news, they have taken a fancy to this hot spot.
By this time in the evening, TV news had already scheduled relevant reports.
Sina, NetEase, Sohu and other online media are tracking the entire process.
"Get up at 8 o'clock in the morning, the bookstore is already full of people buying books"
"Ask why everyone loves the infinite world so much"
"The queue is long and blocked directly Opposite shop door》
"Zhang San and Li Si fought over the competition for the last book"
"On how well the final chapter of Infinite World was written"
"..."
It can be seen from the order of the titles. From morning to night, there are almost one report at a time, vowing to make the most of this time.
The noisy moment at night is short-lived after all, but people in the Asian area are sleeping peacefully, while a new day has just begun in the European and American areas behind.
Because Disney's publicity is so powerful, most readers have received the news of the new book's release, even without the support of a phenomenal hit drama like "Star You".
Also early, there were people queuing up to buy books.
In the Amazon Bookstore, "Infinite World 3" easily pushed itself into the annual sales list based on its pre-sale results.
Because of this pre-sale result, the work will definitely enter the top three sales of novels that year.
To say this is too modest.
To be precise, apart from monsters like "Harry Potter", only "The Da Vinci Code" had similar results.
Both of these are historical works.
Amazon's evaluation of "Infinite World 3" is a strong recommendation, and in the recommendation article, it pre-ordered this book to be at the top of this year's sales list.
Not only that, all major media released their reviews of the new book during this morning's edition.
The New York Times: "Infinite World" has a tight rhythm and exciting plot. The author is good at using details to build the world and uses imagination to shine new light on past classic works. It is highly recommended.
"Los Angeles Times": gripping and imaginative
"School Library Journal": This novel is undoubtedly an excellent work, and the third part is especially wonderful, which allowed me to see the author's excellent writing skills. .
"Voice of Youth": Once you start reading this book, you will never want to put it down.
……
The strong publicity has made some people who don’t like reading books can’t help but give it a try.
Backend data from Amazon Bookstore showed that the number of online purchases soared, and as evening approached, it had exceeded the number of pre-orders.
In the end, "723665", a large and bold red number, was hung in the carousel on Amazon's homepage. "This will be the best book this year. If it weren't for "Harry Potter", I would rate it as the best novel in the past five years."
Home Page The slogan of , clearly contains this sentence.
Because various publishing channels around the world are not connected and there are too many partners, sales statistics lag behind.
It wasn't until the third day that Sister Mei received all the statistical data.
Sold 2.16 million copies on the first day!
According to estimates, the sales for this day alone exceeded a small target.
This is a number that could not have been imagined before the release.
The data originally estimated based on the pre-sale results on Amazon's website was far from that high. Calculated based on traditional proportions, it was expected to be between 900,000 and 1.5 million.
1.5 million is an extreme case.
In fact, the prediction was accurate. A total of about 1.2 million copies were sold in Europe and the United States, which was right at the center of the range.
Where does all the data come from?
Of course it is Asia, especially the three East Asian countries, which contributed a full 800,000 first-day sales.
The Huaguo District accounts for nearly half of this.
Sister Mei was stunned, "Even Annan has contributed about 50,000 copies to sales, even more than some European countries."
"I'm surprised too, we haven't even reached Annan yet. ”
Chen Linfeng doesn’t go to Annan many times. He went there once when he was promoting “Star You” last time. This time, he set off to promote in Southeast Asia on an impromptu trip, and it wasn’t Annan’s turn yet.
Economically speaking, Annan does not have an advantage. In past book sales data, Annan has never been very impressive.
When the first two books of "Infinite World" were first released, they were not even available in Annan language. It was only this time that they were added to the first release language.
Who knew this place could also do popcorn.
The data of 50,000 copies has directly more than doubled the first-day sales of Annan’s local bestsellers, and there is no way to catch up.
In other Asian countries, there are also several first-day sales that topped the list.
Europeans and Americans dare not think about it, "Harry Potter" is still too powerful.
Disney has done a great job this time. Such large-scale publicity has completely blown away its reputation.
At 12:00 on April 15th, Yanjing time, Kirin Studio announced the first-day sales data to the public, and also notified Disney to deliver it simultaneously in Europe and the United States.
Relevant news is spreading in almost all major online channels around the world.
Europe and the United States are not only limited to book lovers this time, but passers-by are also a little surprised.
"This data should be amazing. I remember that last year, "Twilight" only had more than 100,000 first-day sales, and there were media reports saying that the results were good."
"It is very impressive. , a book written by a Chinese author can actually make global news. ”
"There are sometimes queues in bookstores these two days. Isn't it just for buying this book?"
"I don't usually read books and I haven't heard much about it. Is this book as good as "Harry Potter"? "
"It's definitely not comparable, but it's great to be mentioned in passing. "Harry Potter" is an exception."
"Only 200 on the first day. Wan, maybe it can compete with "The Da Vinci Code""
"It's unlikely. This is the explosion of popularity of the novel series, and it is a short-term effect. "Infinite 3" should be slower in the future. After all, "The Da Vinci Code" sells 7.5 million copies annually, how can it be so easy to follow? "
"It's hard to say, but the sales of the first two books each exceeded 10 million. Those who have bought it, if they don't forget to buy the third one this year, there is hope that it will be surpassed. This is the power of the series of novels."
“I don’t think it’s possible!”
“Maybe, I’ll look forward to it.”
Soon, related discussions intensified. Netizens compared the two novels together, as if they were Seen as opponents of the same level.
Globally, media from various countries are reporting on the first-day sales of "Infinite World 3".
The New York Times: ""Infinite World 3" achieved a miracle of sales exceeding 2 million copies on the first day!"
The Times: ""Infinite World" brought global effects, reaching hundreds of millions of RMB a day!"
The Asahi Shimbun: ""Infinite World 3" received 2.16 million copies a day, successfully becoming a global bestseller."
This is undoubtedly another breakthrough promotion for the "Infinite World" series.
In fact, the data from the past few days showed it. While the sales of the third book exploded, the sales of the first two books also saw a very obvious increase.
The average sales volume increased by more than 300,000 in a short period of time.
Obviously, there are a large number of new readers. Taking advantage of this trend, there will definitely be new ones joining.
The domestic media public opinion at this time is completely explosive.
Last year, "Harry Potter" exceeded 11 million on its first day. Although the domestic media followed the trend in reporting, a considerable number of official media were actually wary.
The central media even criticized some domestic media for following the trend and using their own media resources to highlight European and American cultural products.
However, this year, it was my own children who achieved such results.
There is no such thing as following the trend and criticizing, it is all about bragging.
That evening, Hua Central Station's news broadcast directly set aside one minute to report on the sales miracle created by "Infinite World".
“At 12:00 Yanjing time on April 15, Qilin Culture Studio announced that as of 24:00 on April 12, the global sales of "Infinite World 3" exceeded 2.16 million copies.
"Infinite World" is a series of novels written by the famous Chinese writer Chen Linfeng. Its compact plot and full of imaginative content have won the love of many reading lovers around the world
The entire series has sold nearly 40 million copies, making it a Chinese best-seller and a typical representative of Chinese culture going overseas. "
There was then a brief evaluation by industry experts, which was also full of praise for the novel.
"In seven or eight years, the global sales of "Infinite World" reached The achievement of nearly 40 million copies is very rare. If there can be a good film and television adaptation, it can increase its popularity.
There is absolutely hope that the series will hit the milestone of 100 million total sales.
This series of novels is unique in content and writing techniques. It is a new direction for domestic best-selling book writing. It deserves and is already guiding the writing style and plot conceiving methods of many young domestic authors."
The noodles are full!
