Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 466 Crazy First Day Sales

The writing style is the reason why Yu Jing can't stop reading Chapter 1, but what really allowed her to watch it for three hours without moving her feet is actually the story itself.

"This book is a perfect fusion of Zhang Zhong's two styles, science fiction and detective. Although the background is science fiction, the main line of the story has the style of detective novels."

Yu Jing turned her head, a tall and handsome boy was talking to his companion about his views on the new book.

One of the companions nodded and said, "That's true, and the story is very compact, it all happened in one day."

"I think the things I want to explore in the novel are very deep. For example, the sect called Moshi in it has been proven to be false, but there are still a large number of believers. The bionics can't figure it out, and I can't explain it either."

"This is about belief. In fact, for belief, whether it is true or false, it has no effect on belief itself. For example, my mother, worshiping the Buddha, but she actually told me that she knew the Buddha was false, she said she worshiped the Buddha, It is because although she knows that the Buddha is false, the influence of those things in the teachings on her is true."

"Auntie, the novel has always been about the main character chasing the bionics, and the discussion has always been about the difference between bionics and real people."

"The most talked about in the book is empathy."

"It's really hard to say something like empathy. In fact, I can't understand the empathy of humans in the book. Will you be killed by a cow or a crocodile when you wear leather shoes?"

"Of course not. This is also Zhang Zhong's prediction. After all, the world in the book has suffered a catastrophe, so it must be different from us. For example, Yin Duolong, the tortoise, who picked up a spider and was ecstatic. Put it in a bottle and take it home. When the bionic man cut off the spider’s legs, he collapsed. In fact, in our impression, if there is a person like Yin Duolong in reality, he must have no reaction to such a thing. I have also seen Many young children tortured and killed frogs."

"Yeah, when we were kids we killed spiders, burned ants, everything."

"So, if we use the measurement table in the book to judge bionics and human beings to test us, maybe we can conclude that we are not human."

"That is to say, something like empathy is very strange and magical, and it has something to do with experience."

"Didn't you see Yang Lei's strange behavior when she was tested?"

……

Yu Jing held the book and listened to the boys discussing the contents of the book. While she found it very interesting, she couldn't help but wonder, do these readers read the book so carefully now?
Or say that readers of science fiction are more careful. She reads romance novels, and after reading them, she always forgets most of the plots.

She wanted to join their discussion. She also had her own views on a few topics, but she was really embarrassed.

"Let's go to the reading club tonight."

"A new book is released today, so there must be a lot of people going."

"It's good if there are more people. There are still some plots in the book that I don't understand very well. I just went to chat with them."

Hearing this, Yu Jing couldn't bear it anymore, and asked aloud, "I'm sorry, the study session you mentioned just now is..."

The handsome boy glanced at the book in Yu Jing's hand, and said with a smile, "Our school's support club branch is at Guole Tea House. Do you want to go? You can go with us."

"Can you?"

"Of course." Several boys smiled. There are very few girls who read science fiction, let alone Yu Jing is quite good-looking. Of course, they are very willing.

"Then thank you."

"No, leave a contact information, we will contact you before we go."

"okay."

In this way, Yu Jing and that handsome boy left contact information with each other.

After separating from the boys, she put down the sample book in her hand, and then went to the bookshelf to get a new one. When she was about to check out, she saw two other books by Zhang Zhong on the bookshelf. Award-winning I, Robot and Dune.

After thinking about it, she ran back and took one copy each.

"It's time to make up lessons." She thought.

……

There are many cases like Yu Jing in the whole country. Because of the influence of the Xingyun Award, many people who didn’t read science fiction before go to the bookstore and see a new book, and they will pay more attention to it, and just like this , may become a fan of Zhang Zhong.

And some people read Zhang Zhong's novels because they were "forced to do so". Now the topic of the Nebula Award has penetrated into ordinary people's conversations. Many people suddenly talked about the Nebula Award while chatting, and then When people talk about the winner of the Nebula Award, people who don't know will feel very embarrassed. There have been a few times, people who don't know will go to find out.

Although the starting point is not very good, the result is always good. More Chinese people are willing to go into bookstores and read science fiction novels.

Zhang Zhong looked at the feedback from netizens on the Internet and thought it was not bad, so he didn't read it again.In the afternoon, I write and write, and in the evening, I study Chinese literature, and the day passes like this.

That night, he went to bed very early, and after telling Pengpeng the story, he washed himself up and went to bed after nine o'clock.

But he went to bed early, but some people couldn't sleep.

Chen Qing has been paying attention to the situation of the new book all day today. He has read the reports of the major websites and the ratings of the new book. Thanks to the Nebula Award, the popularity of the new book is very high, which is higher than all Zhang Zhong's previous books.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, some preliminary data finally came out.

The moment Chen Qing saw the numbers, Chen Qing was ecstatic. As of ten o'clock in the evening Beijing time, "Do Bionics Dream of Electric Sheep?" "The global sales reached 920 million copies.

And because of the time difference, it hasn’t been long since many countries started selling. The 920 million copies were mainly contributed by Huaxia. In the Huaxia market alone, 580 million copies were sold in one day. This is an unprecedented number. Huaxia Never before has a book achieved that number of first-day sales.

Even if this number is divided by ten, I am afraid that very few novels can reach it, and so far, the total sales volume of all Huaxia novels exceeds this number, and many of them are Zhang Zhong's books.

Such a crazy number was published in "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" "Achieved.

Chen Qing looked at the form on the screen, thinking about what kind of figure it would be when the global 24-hour total sales were released in another ten hours.

One thousand and five?two thousand?or more?

Now the largest North American market has just started. Even with a conservative estimate, the North American market can bring the sales of 300 million copies of this book, and it is basically a matter of certainty if it exceeds [-].
