Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 299 Sales Miracle

After seven or eight years of playing Chen Linfeng's "Infinite World" series, students who were originally in junior high school and high school are now at least in college.

This is their youth. Even if the finale is not that good, they can still brag about it.

What's more, the book was written far beyond their expectations and it was a perfect ending.

At this time in China, there are constantly excited book lovers going online to vent their emotions.

Wherever he went, he destroyed everything with ease and set the prairie on fire. All forums and communities became like Xiao Chen.

As soon as irrelevant people go online, they have the illusion that they have logged into the wrong webpage.

No matter which forum you go to, as long as there are people talking, they are talking about the new book "Infinite World".

Some people are fed up with it, but given the current unfavorable situation, they dare not say much.

Some people became curious about the book and wondered whether they should buy it to read it.

Chen Linfeng’s group of casual fans is too large, and the core book fans and drama fans may only account for a small part of it.

If you want to convert casual fans who only know a little about Chen’s story, you often just need to watch his works.

And this time is a good opportunity.

Outside China, the situation is similar.

Excluding new book fans like Li Deshan who have been following the book since the very first book, all the old readers are in a crazy state.

Some people brag about it online, while others go crazy offline.

In some university dormitories, not long after the lights were turned on, you could hear monkey calls from time to time. Without a doubt, they must have just finished watching "Infinite World 3".

Neon, Tokyo.

After reading the new book, Rina Ishihara added a lottery link on the website she created.

As long as the netizen has voted before, he can participate in the lottery.

The winner will be given a copy of "Infinite World 3" directly, and there are 500 prizes in total.

He simply gave away all his monthly pocket money.

Malay, Lijiapo, Annan...

Professor Chen once again dominated East Asia.

Domestic writers were simply stunned. This was a scene they would never dare to imagine in their dreams.

The last time a novel sparked such widespread discussion was when the last Harry Potter book was released.

There was also a heated discussion in China at that time, but it was not so exaggerated.

This may be the case abroad. I heard from foreign news at the time that a large number of fans cosplayed as characters in the book and participated in the carnival.

Some authors felt a little relieved, fortunately Xiao Chen had not reached this point yet.

But they could not ignore this situation.

This is especially true for the media.

They followed the release of Infinite World 3 throughout the whole process.

Reporters went to the bookstore during the day and interviewed readers waiting in line.

Some reporters also specifically seek out large bookstores in big cities like Yenching Bookstore and Shenhai Bookstore, and then choose the most crowded times to take pictures of the grand scene of book lovers gathering to buy books.

Whether it is the media in the fields of literature, entertainment, or social news, they all have taken notice of this hot topic.

By this time in the evening, the TV news had already scheduled related reports.

Online media such as Sina, NetEase, and Sohu followed the entire process.

《I woke up at 8 o'clock in the morning and the bookstore was already crowded with people buying books》

Why do people love infinite worlds so much?

"The queue formed into a long queue, directly blocking the door of the opposite shop"

"Zhang San and Li Si got into a fight over the last book"

"Talking about how the final chapter of Infinite World is written"

"..."

It can be seen from the order of the titles that there is a report almost every second from morning to night, determined to take advantage of the popularity of this event.

The noisy moments at night are short after all, but people in Asia are getting a good night's sleep, while people in Europe and the United States are just starting a new day.

Because Disney’s promotion was so powerful, even without the support of a phenomenal hit drama like “You Who Came From the Stars,” most readers received news of the new book’s release.

Also early in the morning, there were groups of people queuing up to buy books.

In the Amazon bookstore, "Infinite World 3" easily pushed itself onto the annual sales list thanks to its pre-sale performance.

Because of this pre-sale performance, this work will definitely be among the top three best-selling novels of the year.

To say this is excessive modesty.

To be precise, apart from monsters like "Harry Potter", only "The Da Vinci Code" achieved similar results.

Both of these are historic works.

Amazon's evaluation of "Infinite World 3" is a strong recommendation, and in the recommendation article, it has pre-booked the book to the top of this year's sales list.

Not only that, all major media outlets released their reviews of the new book during today’s morning edition.

The New York Times: "Infinite World" has a fast pace and a wonderful plot. The author is good at using details to build the world and using imagination to give past classic works new light. 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 particularly wonderful, which allows me to see the author's excellent writing skills.

"Voice of Youth": A book that you won't want to put down once you start reading it.

……

The strong publicity has made some people who don’t like reading very much unable to resist giving it a try.

The backend data of Amazon Bookstore showed that the number of online purchases soared, and by the evening, it had surpassed the number of pre-orders.

Finally, the big, bold red number "723665" was placed on the carousel on Amazon's homepage. "This will be the best book of the year. If it weren't for Harry Potter, I would have rated it as the best novel in the past five years."

The slogan on the homepage clearly reads this sentence.

Because the various publishing channels around the world are not connected and there are too many partners, sales statistics are relatively lagging.

It was not until the third day that Sister Mei received all the statistical data.

216 million copies sold on the first day!

It is estimated that the sales on this day alone exceeded a small target.

This is a number that was unimaginable before the release.

The data initially estimated based on the pre-sale performance on the Amazon website was far from this high. According to the traditional ratio, it is expected to be between 90 and 150 million.

150 million is an extreme case.

In fact, the prediction was accurate. A total of about 120 million copies were sold in Europe and the United States, which was exactly within the range.

So where does all that extra data come from?
It was naturally the Asian region, especially the three East Asian countries, which contributed 80 in first-day sales.

The Chinese region accounts for nearly half of this.

Mei was amazed. "Even the place called Annan contributed about 5 copies of sales, even more than some European countries."

"I'm also surprised. We haven't even reached Annan yet."

Chen Linfeng has not been to Annan many times. He went there once when he promoted "My Love from the Star". This time he made a sudden trip to Southeast Asia for promotion, and it was not yet Annan's turn.

Economically speaking, Annan does not have an advantage, and Annan's past book sales data has always been unremarkable.

When the first two books of "Infinite Worlds" were first released, there was not even an Annamese version. It was only this time that it was added to the first release language.

Who knew this place could also make popcorn?

The data of 5 copies has more than doubled the first-day sales of the best-selling book in Annan, which is simply unattainable.

There are also several other Asian countries that topped the first-day sales charts.

I can’t even imagine what’s happening in Europe and the United States, because Harry Potter is still too powerful.

Disney has done a great job this time, with such a large-scale publicity, it has completely spread its fame.

At 4:15 on April 12th, Yanjing time, Kirin Studio announced the first-day sales data to the public, and also notified Disney to release it simultaneously in Europe and the United States.

Related news is being spread on almost all major online channels around the world.

This time, the shock was not limited to book lovers in Europe and the United States, but passers-by were also a little surprised.

"This data should be amazing, right? I remember that last year, Twilight only had over 100,000 viewers on its first day, and the media reported that the performance was good."

"It's really amazing that a book written by a Chinese author can make global news."

"There are sometimes queues in bookstores these days. I wonder if they are just to buy this book."

"I don't usually read books, so 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 able to mention it in passing. Harry Potter is an exception."

"It took in 200 million on the first day. Maybe it can compete with The Da Vinci Code."

"It's unlikely. This is just a burst of popularity in the novel series, and it's a short-term effect. The speed will probably slow down after Infinity 3. The Da Vinci Code sells 750 million copies a year. It's not that easy to catch up."

"It's hard to say. The sales of the first two books each exceeded 10 million. If those who have bought it don't forget to buy the third book this year, there is hope that they will surpass that. This is the power of a series of novels."

"I don't think so!"

"Maybe, let's look forward to it."

Soon, the discussion became more and more heated, and netizens compared the two novels together, treating them as rivals of the same level.

Around the world, media from various countries are reporting on the first-day sales of Infinite World 3.

The New York Times: "Infinite World 3" achieved a sales miracle of over 200 million copies on the first day!

The Times: "Infinite World brings global impact, earning hundreds of millions of RMB a day!"

Asahi Shimbun: "Infinite World 3" sold 216 million copies in one day, successfully becoming a global bestseller."

This is undoubtedly another breakthrough promotion for the "Infinite World" series.

In fact, this was reflected in the data from the past few days. While the sales of the third book exploded, the sales of the first two books also increased significantly.

The average sales volume increased by more than 30 in a short period of time.

It is obvious that a large number of new readers have been generated, and taking advantage of this trend, more new people will definitely join.

The domestic media opinion at this time was completely explosive.

Last year, the box office of "Harry Potter" exceeded 1100 million on the first day. Domestic media certainly followed suit, but in fact, a considerable number of official media were wary.

The central media even criticized some domestic media for following the trend and using their own media resources to promote European and American cultural products.

However, this year, it was my own child who achieved such results.

There is no such thing as following the trend and criticizing, it's all just bragging.

That evening, China Central Television's news broadcast set aside one minute to report on the sales miracle created by "Infinite World".

“4月15日燕京时间12:00，麒麟文化工作室发布消息称，截至4月12日24时整，《无限世界3》全球销量超过216万本。

"Infinite World" is a series of novels written by the famous Chinese writer Chen Linfeng. Its compact plot and imaginative content have won the love of many book lovers around the world.

The sales of the entire series are close to 4 million, and it is a typical example of Chinese bestsellers and Chinese culture going global.”

This is followed by a brief evaluation by industry experts, which is also full of praise for the novel.

"It is very rare that Infinite Worlds has achieved global sales of nearly 4000 million copies in just seven or eight years. If it can be adapted into a good film or TV series, it will increase its popularity.

Then there is every hope of hitting the milestone of 100 million total series sales.

This series of novels is unique in content and writing style. It is a new direction for domestic bestsellers. It is worthy of and is already guiding the writing style and plot conception methods of many young domestic authors. "

The noodles are full!
