Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 248
220 million sales in a single day!

Before Schubert and Zhang Chong's saliva war subsided, the first-day sales of "Dune" in North America had already come out. The first-day sales of the entire North American region reached an astonishing 220 million.

The 24-hour sales record in North America was set by the American fantasy master Linde S. Kay.

In 2018, the eighth part of Linde's "Necromancer" series "Necromancer: Holy Elimination" sold 980 million copies in North America on the first day.

听起来，《沙丘》的220万本跟980万本差了好几个档次，但是事实上除了《死灵8》，首日销量No.2的《死灵7》北美首日销量也就只有360万本而已。

If you want to make a historical list of first-day sales in North America, "Dune" with 220 million copies should be ranked No. 12, and five of the top eleven are Linde's "Necromancer" series.

And if the sales volume is based on sales, the ranking of "Dune" will be higher. After all, "Dune" is priced at [-] dollars, which is more expensive than the average bestseller.

Although this first-day sales volume has only been ranked outside the top ten in history, in the past two years, no book has sold more than "Dune" on the first day.

A large part of the credit for this is Affleck, and part of the credit is Schubert.

Although he scolded fiercely before, it was precisely because of his scolding that the popularity of "Dune" rose a wave.

If Schubert's contribution to the first-day sales was limited, then he definitely contributed to the success of the sales in the next two days.

On the 200th and 170th, the sales volume of "Dune" barely dropped, reaching [-] million and [-] million respectively.

In the first three days alone, in 72 hours, the sales of "Dune" reached 590 million, close to 600 million.

North American media have reported on the strong market performance of "Dune".

"This June, no, the whole of 2020 will belong to Dune, to pz."

——Washington Arts News
"The Hugo Awards and Nebula Awards will probably be a headache in April next year. Huaxia's works have never been included in the selection list for these two literary awards. Is there any exception next year?"

—— "Apple Daily"

"The debate over whether 'Dune' is science fiction is still unresolved, but its sales tell us that at least it's a likable book."

——"He Bao"

"If Schubert can find scientific evidence to prove that "Dune" is not a science fiction novel, can it stop pz a little bit?"

"The homegrown detective novelists have just relented and used "West Side Tribe" as a fig leaf. Should it be the science fiction writers who are now worried?"

"Will the science fiction market in July explode like the detective novels before?"

"The success of "Dune" is undoubtedly a successful marketing strategy. As for whether "Dune" can become a classic, we have to wait and see."

"Dune's sales are puzzling, and it's unusual for a detective writer's science fiction to receive so much attention."

"pz is here!"

The direction of the various media is different. Some people advocate the pz threat theory, saying that Zhang Zhong's appearance may affect the survival of native North American writers.

Some people also questioned the sales of "Dune". This book is neither a sequel to the series, has huge fans of the work, and has no peripheral products to drive the sales of the work. How can it be so successful just relying on pz's reputation and Affleck's support? Amazing sales?
Some media even believed that capital was involved in the sales this time. Now the whole world knows that there are many local tyrants in China. If there are local tyrants to help with sales, it is not impossible.

In fact, brushing data is not uncommon in the "noble" literary circle.

However, the cost of book sales is very high, and without capital, it can't be done at all.

Under normal circumstances, it is to do marketing in the early stage.

There are also some writers who promote their books as best-sellers. In this way, these writers have the title of "best-selling author", and after two books are released, the money will be recovered.

The sales volume of "Dune" doesn't seem to be fake from the data. After all, if it is really sold, it won't be spread out, and it will be sold for a few days.

If the sales of the next two days are put on the first day, I am afraid that the historical ranking will not be No. 12, but directly surpass No. 2, just behind "Necromancer 8".

However, the idea of ​​brushing data really has a market.

The thinking of these people is also very simple.

"So many well-known domestic writers can't do it, but you, a Chinese person, can do it? It must be brushed."

……

Parker just got up from the bed. For the previous promise, he broadcast live for nearly [-] hours in a row before finally finishing the entire "Dune".

After the live broadcast was over, he slept for a while and got up again to cut a video, and then fell asleep again.

This is already his second awakening.

I turned on the computer habitually, wanting to check the video, but I didn't expect to see someone on the Internet saying that the data of Dune was flashed.

He quit immediately and ran up to reason with others, saying that he is a real reader, and many people around him have bought "Dune", and the data of this book is definitely not fake.

But the sunspots still didn't believe it. At this moment, a lot of people came out on the Internet and posted pictures of the "Dune" they bought, and Parker quickly posted them.

And Parker also threatened, "I'm going to buy fifty more copies right away!"

In this way, there was a sudden upsurge of "posting "Dune"" on the Internet. Many book lovers posted the "Dune" they bought on social networks, saying that they were also one of the millions.

There are also some book fans shouting that even if they have already bought them, they still have to go to the bookstore to buy a few more copies, and slap those sunspots in the face.

……

Sitting in the office, Chen Qing listened to the report of the staff who went on a business trip to North America, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although Li Zhuo's marketing method is a bit wild, the effect is very good.

The sales volume of "Dune" on the first day is not fake. After all, Zhang Zhong's own influence and Affleck's publicity, the company is not idle, and the advertisements for the new book can be seen on the advertising screens of many shopping malls in North America. , he was not surprised to get this sales volume.

But the follow-up matters were all manipulated by Chen Qing and the others. Even the media that questioned the data of "Dune" cooperated with them.

They first let the cooperative media come out to question the falsification of the data, and then arranged some navy troops to come out to complain and build momentum, and the rest of the matter will be logical.

Of course, all the following operations are based on the fact that "Dune" is indeed liked by many people.Otherwise, there is nothing the navy can do to stir up momentum.

　Thank you [Infinite Menglong Orpheus] for the 100 rewards
