Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 264
The next morning, Zhang Zhong woke up and saw a new message on his phone, which was sent by Xu Yuhan: Good morning, July.

That's right, it's already July, and it's been almost a year since I came back.

He smiled and said "Good morning" before going to wash up.

After breakfast, Chen Qing called to remind him to pay attention to the overseas sales of "Ten Little Indian Boys".

The English version of this book has already been published, and Chen Qing asked him to focus on other languages.This time, several languages ​​were released together, including about a dozen languages ​​such as Neon, Korean, and Spanish.

This time more than a dozen languages ​​are released at the same time, but the attention is not as high as that of Chinese and English before. After all, it is impossible for these dozen languages ​​to have as many readers as Chinese and English.

Especially Neon and Goryeo.

It stands to reason that the number of users of neon language is relatively large, and it can be ranked high in the world.

But the problem is that the neon country has always rejected foreign cultures, and their literature and art have their own small circles.

Whether "Ten Little Indian Boys" will be unsuitable, no one knows.

The publishing house is also very cautious. In a country with a population of more than 1 million people, "Ten Little Indian Boys" has only sold [-] copies for the first time.

Relatively speaking, Goryeo, whose population is more than half smaller, also had a first printing of [-] copies, which seemed much larger.

Chen Qing asked Zhang to pay attention to overseas sales, but he really didn't have this intention. The success of "Ten Little Indian Boys" has been obvious to all. There is no need to think about conquering readers all over the world. Even if the sales in the Neon Country suffered Waterloo, He doesn't care much either.

In fact, the sales of this book in Neon Country and Korea were really mediocre.

The two countries each printed [-] copies. On the first day, Neon sold [-] copies, while Korea only sold [-] copies.

In fact, this sales volume is not bad. After all, in these two countries, there is almost no publicity. There are only a few countries in the east, and there are two languages ​​​​excluding Chinese. countries invested in propaganda.

After all, relatively speaking, the promotion in Europe is simpler. Although the languages ​​are different, the English-speaking population has a wide range. The popularity of the English version has long attracted the attention of netizens in other European countries.

Without much effort, the European market can be opened.

On the morning of the 2000nd, Chen Qing called again to announce the good news, saying that the global sales volume of "Ten Little Indian Boys" had reached 3000 million copies, and this year it should reach a higher level, reaching [-] million copies.

Zhang Zhong was honored to be on the list of the 200 richest writers in the world according to US statistics in March this year. On the list, he ranked No. 950 with a royalty income of 20 million US dollars.

And the No.1 on this list is the fantasy master Linde who won the No. [-] for six times in a row. Last year, his royalty income was as high as [-] million U.S. dollars, more than ten times that of Zhang Zhong.

But this year, Zhang Zhong may really compete for the top spot, and the royalty income of [-] million US dollars does not seem to be that high.

After all, he published a lot of books this year, and some of the books published last year were also published in other languages ​​this year, which happened to be a concentrated explosion.

Among other things, just one copy of "Dune" so far, the two language versions should have brought Zhang Zhong tens of millions of dollars in royalties.

Maybe Zhang Zhong will not only appear in the author's income list next year, but may also appear in the overall list. Of course, the premise is that the overall list can be ranked in the thousands.

……

In the past two days, Zhang Zhong has been on the phone with Pengpeng, and it can be heard that this girl is very happy to go out to play. As for the worry that she will be homesick, it does not exist at all, at least it does not exist now. .

But she also complained on the phone, saying that it had been two days and the teacher didn't take them to eat Yanjing roast duck.

Everyone has forgotten, but Yanjing Roast Duck has not.

They also went to Yenching University for a tour. Before, she was still considering whether to go to Jiangyang University or Yenching University. Now after going to Yenching University, she directly said that she must go to Yenching University.

It seems that the lake water of Weiming Lake is indeed more beautiful than the goldfish under their Duxue Bridge.

……

When Yu Texinyu passed by the bookstore, he bought a copy of "Ten Little Indian Boys". This is the third book he bought. He had bought both the Chinese version and the English version before.

He knows Chinese and pays more attention to Chinese literature, so when "Ten Little Indian Boys" was popular in China, he bought a copy online and mailed it over.

After the English version came out, he bought another copy to express his support.

What he didn't expect was that another neon language version was released this time, and of course he wanted to buy one.

He flipped through the neon language version. Although it was not as good-looking as the original version, there was absolutely no major problem. The essence of the book was still there.

He purposely inquired about the sales volume of this book. What he didn't expect was that the book had been on the shelves in Neon Country for two days, and the sales volume was only a little over [-].

My God, don't the people of Neon Country even know that this book has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide?
Just imagine, a novel that has sold tens of millions of copies worldwide has only sold [-] copies in the neon country, which is unbelievable.

In fact, Yute Xinyu also knows the reason. Around him, only a small part of people read foreign novels. Even if they read, they only read novels that have been famous for a long time, and they don’t pay attention to new foreign books like him. .

Even though the readership of detective novels in Neon Country is so large, few people are willing to get in touch with foreign detective novels. Sometimes it is quite sad to think about it.

He posted a post on a literature forum he often visits, roughly speaking about the situation of "Ten Little Indian Boys", and urged everyone to go to the bookstore to read it. It is really a good book.

But the reviews disappointed him.

[Oh hoo, has Mr. Huaxia's novel also been promoted in this small forum? 】

[It's a mystery novel, this matter is very interesting, but I still don't read the book. 】

[Thank you for popularizing, but I still don’t read the book. 】

[I saw this book in a bookstore yesterday, and the lengthy character description at the beginning made me feel uncomfortable. I'm afraid it's not suitable for me to read. 】

[Many of the mystery novels in Huaxia are romance novels in the cloak of reasoning. 】

[I was wrong, many of them are comedy novels in the cloak of reasoning. 】

[If you say this, the adults of Huaxia will be unhappy. 】

[The host should be Lord Huaxia, please forgive my ignorance. 】
