Stuckart wiped the sweat from his head. The sunshine in Southern California is always so bright. This was an advantage a few months ago, but the sunshine in June is really unbearable.
After finishing her work in the morning, she took advantage of her lunch break to go to Norton Bookstore to check it out. Today was the launch day of PZ's new book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
She has been waiting for this for many days.
Stuckart was an early fan of PZ. When PZ's first science fiction novel "Flowers for Algernon" was released in the United States, she read it on the first day and fell in love with it.
Speaking of which, Affleck's ability to read the book had something to do with her. She was the one who recommended the book to her friend Mandy, and her friend Mandy's boyfriend Nathan saw it, and Nathan told his friend...
…eventually the book ended up in Affleck’s hands.
The last time pz went to New York for a book signing, she wanted to go there, but because of some delays at school, she didn't make it in the end.
She was just a little regretful. When she voted online before, she also participated in the vote. Of course she voted for Los Angeles, but New York won in the end.
She felt that the reason why New York won was because there were not many votes, while California had too many votes. It is obvious that Californians have the most people.
Can’t the people of San Francisco put aside their regional differences at this time and vote for Los Angeles, the best city in California?
I hope pz can come here next time.
Stuckart looked at the books on the shelf.
"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" is of course the most conspicuous place on the bookshelf, but next to this new book is a copy of "I am a Fortune Teller".
Stuckart smiled. She had read this book before, but it had never been very popular in the United States.
In fact, during this period, apart from the Nebula Award-winning works, the most popular books in the United States were Zhang Zhong's new book and "I Am a Fortune Teller".
This book was mentioned in the variety show.
Many Americans were curious and ran to read this book.
This book is not very popular with Americans, but it also makes them curious because the things written in it are things they have never seen or heard before.
…
The next morning, the 24-hour total global sales of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" were released. As of 8 o'clock in the morning on June 14th, Yanjing time, the global sales of this novel were
19.48 million copies.
For a time, the whole world was in an uproar, because before this, only one novel in the world had achieved this number in first-day sales.
That is Linde's "Necromancer", which sold 9.8 million copies in North America and 29 million copies worldwide.
Before the release of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", the second-largest first-day sales of novels in the world was "Necromancer 7", with first-day sales of 3.6 million copies in North America and 1,700 first-day sales worldwide.
Thousands of books.
Zhang Zhong's new book has surpassed the seventh book in the "Necromancer" series and became the second-highest first-day sales book in the world.
But one thing is that the first-day sales of the new book in North America were 3.5 million, slightly behind "Dead Soul 7", ranking third.
When "Necromancer 8" was released on the first day, people all over the world were stunned. At that time, it suddenly surpassed the previous record of "Necromancer 7" of 12 million copies.
At that time, many media outlets made various analyzes and concluded that such sales performance was not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented.
Although Zhang Zhong's book this time did not surpass "Dead Soul 8", he also launched a powerful charge.
pz has only been around for two years. It seems that the first-day sales of "Dead Soul 8" will probably not be unprecedented.
The most critical thing is that the stamina of "Dead Soul 8" is not very strong. In the past two years, its total sales have only been 110 million.
If Zhang Zhong's new book performs better, it might be able to exceed this sales volume.
The reason why people have this idea is that PZ's books have always had strong stamina, such as the previous "Dune". The original first-day sales in North America were 2.2 million, which was only a quarter of "Dead Man 8"
Once it arrives, not to mention global first-day sales.
But it's only been a year now, and the global sales of "Dune" have already exceeded the 60 million mark. If we keep this momentum, if there is another movie, maybe it won't be "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
" can surpass this book.
Netizens in China are the most excited, because this time Zhang Zhong's science fiction novels have sold more in China than in North America, which has never happened before.
[We Chinese readers are so powerful this time.]
[Everyone, keep up the good work, it’s best if the new book can reach the top of the list in one fell swoop.]
[There are 1.4 billion people in China, and if one person buys one copy, he will have 1.4 billion, it will be an instant sale.]
[Is the person upstairs thinking about eating shit, or is he trying to be evil? 】
[Does China sell one billion novels a year?]
[I don’t know, but Chinese people read about 10 billion books a year, and I don’t know how many novels there are among them.]
[When will the total sales of Zhang Zhong’s books totaling 1.4 billion be considered impressive?]
[It shouldn’t take long. If Zhang Zhong can maintain this level and publishing speed, he should be able to reach it in another year or two.]
[So far, Zhang Zhong has released twenty-five single volumes, and the average global sales volume of each volume is more than 20 million, which is 500 million. 】
[On average, there are more than 20 million copies of each book, maybe 30 to 40 million at least? Sand Dune has exceeded 6,000. 】
[You think books are all just sand dunes. Zhang Zhong also has many other books that are holding him back, such as "I am a Fortune Teller", as well as those serious literature books whose sales are relatively low. 】
[Who is the person with the highest sales of novels in the world?]
[Linde, the total sales volume of the eight books in the Necronomicon series alone is 560 million. He also has many other books. Although the sales volume is not as good as the Necronomicon series, they are all bestsellers. His books are more
The total sales volume should be 1.1 billion.]
【Try to kill him.】
[Oh my god, has Zhang Zhong published twenty-five single books? I don’t even feel it.]
[How did he manage to write so many works in such a short period of time? He must have written millions of words in the past two years.]
【An average of 10,000 words per day.】
[Nonsense, besides publishing books, what other news have you seen about Zhang Zhong? He should be the kind of person who does nothing else except writing books.]
[But this is too exaggerated. I am an online novel author. I can only write more than 10,000 words a day, and I am so tired that my back aches.]
[Of course, in addition to hard work, talent is also required. 】
[That online novel author upstairs, your update volume is not good enough. Ten thousand is a guarantee. If you don’t write so much in a day, do you still want to make money?]
