Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

The reason is that Xia Yuan published a novel.

Yes! It's Xia Yuan! He wrote a novel!
And then today, the first releases were made in America and England!

Moreover, the book signing event was also held in America, where a book cost $23 and Xia Yuan signed books all day long.

In the end, the total sales, including both online and offline sales, exceeded 280 million copies!

Yes, an impressive initial print run of 280 million copies!

What is this concept?
Books that can sell over a million copies on their first day of release in sparsely populated regions like Europe and America are probably a rare occurrence in history.

And this honor was actually achieved by a director named Han Xia.

This is an absolutely outrageous thing.

After all, on this planet, no matter what industry you're in, the biggest market is always in Hanxia.

Such achievements would perhaps be easier to attain in Hanxia.

However, in Europe and America, it is even more difficult.

Regarding this point, Hanxia has already demonstrated to the world through deliberate efforts that if the people of Hanxia so desire, they can single-handedly propel a film to the top of the box office rankings, even within their own country.

Moreover, they accomplished this without even deploying Xia Yuan, their ultimate weapon.

Foreigners genuinely watch Xia Yuan's work and genuinely enjoy it.

This has thoroughly demonstrated the value of the Hanxia market.

However, Xia Yuan's actions were tantamount to telling the world that even a director like Han Xia could be a force to be reckoned with in the European and American markets.

There is absolutely no need to rely on the power of the Hanxia market.

This time, it's a really big deal.

However, Xia Yuan's decision to release this new book was not a spur-of-the-moment thing; he had been promoting it extensively on various channels for a long time.

The fact that one of the most sought-after international directors has suddenly entered the literary world and published a novel is itself a very newsworthy event.

Many people were still very interested in this and bought Xia Yuan's new book as soon as possible.

If Xia Yuan's new book hadn't been sold through a pre-order model, there might not have been enough stock available. After all, even He Ye, which anticipated the book would be a big seller, only printed 100 million copies.

After all, this kind of thing actually costs a lot. Printing 100 million copies of a new author's debut novel, with an unknown market prospect, is considered a huge gamble by many publishers.

If we can't sell them, we'll be stuck with them for nothing.

But Xia Yuan proved with his actions that he was different from others.

Therefore, after the news was sent back to China, it immediately caused a huge uproar in Hanxia and topped the trending search list.

"Xia Yuan is at the top of the list again. Is he buying a house because he's at the top of the list?"

"To be honest, when it comes to cultural output, Xia Yuan really comes to the fore. He has accomplished what others cannot."

"So what if it's the European and American market? So what if it's the world market? No matter how much you try to suppress us, our directors can still beat you to a pulp!"

"So, Xia Yuan is a director, he's not even a full-time writer, and yet he achieved such success on his first try."

"If this had happened ten years ago, I might have been shocked, but now I'm not surprised at all. After all, if Xia Yuan stopped messing around with these things, that would be something strange."

"Hehe, after all, he's the most irresponsible director in history. Do you think this is a joke?" "Xia Yuan is indeed irresponsible. What didn't he do in his early years? Now he's just writing a novel. It's nothing."

"Holy crap, 280 million in a single day, nearly 300 million! Xia Yuan is awesome!"

"If the new book is of good quality, it would be normal for it to sell over ten million copies, right? Especially since that doesn't even include the Hanxia market. You know, in the Hanxia market, Xia Yuan is the home turf."

"It's so enviable. I'm also an author, but I'm a complete failure. I've been writing some low-quality novels online for ten years and I've never even reached 10,000 subscriptions. Xia Yuan just casually moved his finger and got 2.8 million sales."

"Who isn't? I'm also a struggling author, envious of others and then becoming obsessed."

"too strong."

In addition, various self-media and marketing accounts are also vying to report on this matter.

Earlier, it was alright; the overall nature of this matter was simply a story of a Hanxia person bringing glory to the country abroad.

Then, as the number of marketing accounts involved continued to increase, it became like five-star generals were being deployed everywhere.

In addition, there are the inherent headlines used by self-media to attract traffic.

Thus, the nature of this matter quickly became: a new hope for the literary world of Hanxia; if Xia had not been born, the literary path would have remained in perpetual darkness.

Or: Oh no, oh no, when Han Xia, a popular novelist, woke up, their world had collapsed.

Or perhaps: On this day, the literary world of Hanxia welcomed their emperor.

Then, during this process, other writers will be criticized and denigrated.

Among them, Yu Si is the most frequently mentioned.

After all, this period of time was shortly after Yu Si released his new book.

Then, with initial sales of tens or hundreds of thousands, and the potential to break a million, fans spread the word everywhere, making Yu Temple seem like something unique in the world.

At the beginning, it even seemed like a new hope for the literary world in Hanxia, ​​and everyone was overjoyed.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Xia Yuan's incident came out.

What you've been touting is something that others can easily do with a flick of their finger.

Your ultimate goal is something that others can easily achieve in less than a day.

As a result, Yu Si, who already had a poor public image among the boys, once again became the target of ridicule.

Countless taunts and mockery directed at the temple followed.

"Hahahaha, haven't someone's fans been touting their idol as Han Xia's new hope in the literary world? As a literary giant? How come this so-called literary giant is actually such a pathetic person?"

"Isn't he just someone who can be easily suppressed? What's there to be arrogant about?"

"Hahahaha, it was supposed to break a million, I'd laugh for a year! But what happened? Xia Yuan made 280 million a day!"

"You haters are really something. When you say things like that, have you considered how hard it was for Koji? He worked so hard to write the novel, and he just wanted to revitalize the literary world of Hanxia and help it catch up with the world level."

"Look, now the literary scene in Hanxia has caught up with the world level, it's just that it wasn't achieved under Koji's leadership."

"Besides, you can't really compare them, can you? After all, Xia Yuan's so-called achievements—how much does one of his books even sell for? $23. He earns dollars and spends dollars; that's not much money for him. But what about our Xiaosi? Our Xiaosi's collector's edition costs 1600 yuan! It's precisely because Xia Yuan's books aren't worth much that people don't feel bad buying them, which is why they sell so well!" (End of Chapter)
