Of course, ordinary readers will not carefully study the explosion of the detective novel market. They just think that so many detective novels suddenly appeared and they can eat them all at once.
However, the media, which always likes to make trouble, did not let it go and reported this incident one after another.
Although they are not sure whether there is someone behind this incident, but according to the consistent behavior of the media, the content of their reports will certainly lead readers in the direction of conspiracy theories.
The mainstream media has not spoken out. First of all, this matter has no final conclusion. Secondly, it is not very honorable for the United States.
Nowadays, the reports are all gossipy and entertainment media.
"The United States is panicking!"
"Shocked. For one person, all American detective novel writers went out in force!"
"Old authors collectively publish a new book, just for him..."
Gossip media around the world are all the same, with headlines that are as attractive as they come.
Netizens despised the title as too superficial and cliché, but they couldn't help but click on it.
[Real or false, this incident was premeditated? 】
【I've noticed it a long time ago, it's so abnormal.】
[Yes, "Western Tribe" was previously promoted as saying that it would not be on shelves until June, but now it is on shelves in advance. There must be special reasons. ]
[Well, many books suddenly came out without any news before. 】
[That being said, what is written in this news is somewhat true.]
[I have to say that sometimes entertainment journalists can grasp the truth. 】
[Actually, they are just like me, they are just in the guessing stage.]
【Anyway, I personally think it is a good thing.】
[It is indeed a good thing. Regardless of whether it is premeditated or not, as long as it is rational competition, we readers are very willing to see it. 】
[I hope this situation can last a little longer, so that better works will come out.]
[You guys think, what if the final new book sales list is really all pz’s books?]
[What should I do? I think it’s okay, as long as there are good books to read. 】
[Very good, it’s time for these gentlemen in China to take action. 】
[No more talking, there are so many new books out this time, I’ll go read them first.]
[I'll wait and see first, I'm afraid there are too many ready-made products in there, which will waste my money.]
[It’s probably not a quick product, it’s just that some books have been put on the shelves ahead of time.]
[If pz knows about this, will he publish a few more new books? 】
[Are you being fanciful upstairs? The few books pz published in succession were all published in China before, so there were so many published in such a short period of time. Now they are all released simultaneously, and his "Snowman" has just been published
How could it be so fast to come out?】
[He is already very fast. Someone has calculated that PZ writes more than 6,000 words a day on average. 】
【More than six thousand words?】
【No, I am talking about Chinese characters.】
[What I want to ask is, what is the difference between Huaxia’s six thousand words and six thousand words?]
[In fact, it’s almost...]
[Hey, I think pz can do 20,000 words a day if he works hard.]
【Yes, after all, he is still young.】
【Are you devils?】
[If we read 20,000 words a day, we can read two books every month.]
…
Domestic readers soon learned about this incident, and their reactions were completely different from those abroad.
There are mainly two voices. One is to brag about Zhang Zhong, thinking that it can arouse collective confrontation among foreign detective novel writers. This in itself proves Zhang Zhong’s power.
There are also some voices saying that Americans are too stingy and claim to be the center of the world, but cannot tolerate other authors. They are all complaining about Zhang Chong.
Zhang Zhong also knew about this matter, but he didn't take it seriously. The sales of novels are different from fighting. It doesn't mean that more people will win.
If I have to use a metaphor, it's more like a track and field race. No matter how many contestants there are, you just have to reach the finish line first.
If there really is such a reputation among these new works that is incredible, then even if he loses, he will still be convinced.
However, in fact, compared with track and field competitions, this sales battle is more complicated.
Another week later, the sales of "Snowman" are still far ahead, with North American sales surpassing the second place "Western Tribe" that month by 1.7 million copies, for a total of 2.9 million copies.
Although "Western Tribe" was released nine days after "Snowman", no one thought that its sales would surpass "Snowman".
Because "The Snowman" sold 1.7 million copies in its first week, while "Western Tribe" only sold 1.2 million copies, a difference of 500,000 copies.
But at this moment, there was suddenly more news about "Western Tribe".
Not only can you see advertisements for this book everywhere on the Internet, but even some celebrities who don't usually read books have come out to recommend this book to their fans.
This was Mark's second move. After a week, "Western Tribes" stood out from the sixteen books and proved its potential.
Mark was very decisive and gave up fifteen other books and began to use all resources to promote this "Western Tribe".
Of course, the effect is also obvious. In the second week, the sales volume of "Western Tribe" increased instead of falling. The sales volume in a single week reached 1.8 million copies, and the total sales volume reached 3.1 million copies. Although it was three years behind the sales volume of "The Snowman"
There is still a gap of 1.8 million, but the gap between the two books is gradually narrowing.
If nothing else happens, it could take as little as a week or as much as two weeks to surpass "The Snowman".
"Teacher Zhang, should we also take some measures?"
When Chen Qing called, Zhang Zhong was tying Pengpeng's hair. This girl's hair was getting longer and longer, and it became more and more troublesome to take care of it.
Zhang Zhong wanted to cut her hair shorter before, but she refused to do it, saying that Liu Minya's hair was so long that it must be longer than hers.
Being competitive is a good thing, but focusing on comparing hair length made Zhang Zhong dumbfounded.
Moreover, Pengpeng not only wants her hair to be long, but also has to braid it in different patterns every day. Sometimes Zhang Zhong thinks that if she gets a hairy braid, she won’t have to worry about it in the future.
Zhang Zhong clamped the phone on his shoulder, while tying Pengpeng's hair, he smiled and said, "What measures should be taken?"
"Let's do marketing. We can also do more advertising, and then find some celebrities to help. Didn't Affleck like your book [Bayi Chinese website www.zw-du.me]? Should we follow it?
Contact him and ask him to cooperate with us in publicity," Chen Qing said.
"We must do promotion, but it only needs to be appropriate. There is no need to compare with them. They are local snakes. No matter how much we promote, we cannot compare with them."
"Then we can't just let it go like this. They're trying to do something dirty."
"How can it be considered a dirty trick if someone is doing publicity openly?" This is Zhang Zhong's true thoughts. Although the other party's series of operations are aimed at him, their methods are very bright.
