When he saw this news, Zhang Zhong first thought that it was Chen Qing who did it. However, when he called to ask, Chen Qing said that he didn't know what happened.
The record this time was produced by a data station called "aba", and this data station was registered in the United States.
This data is actually meaningless. At least when Linde "created" the record before, no one mentioned this matter.
But now that Zhang Zhong has broken this record and it has been revealed by the data station, everyone knows about it.
Although no one cared about this data before, now that everyone has seen it, they think this data is quite powerful.
Selling 41 million books in one day is a very crazy thing. Even if Zhang Zhong set this record, it would be very difficult. Without the assistance of the Nebula Award, I am afraid he would not be able to achieve this.
of.
Some people also say that although this record looks terrible, it should not be difficult for Zhang Zhong to break.
As long as Zhang Zhong can maintain the same pace of publishing books as before, one day his books will reach a terrifying number. In the end, even if he piles them by quantity, he will be able to pile up these 41 million records.
.
And this matter is not over yet. It seems that after seeing "aba" come up with this data, other data stations are not reconciled to its dominance, and they also start to look for data.
All of a sudden, all kinds of data are everywhere on the Internet.
"Personal single-week sales record for works"
"Personal 48-hour work sales record"
"Personal 72-hour work sales record"
"Personal single-month work sales record"
"Personal sales record of one year's works"
"Personal 24-month work sales record"
…
As long as there is a personal one at the front, the records are basically Zhang Zhong's. There is no way, Zhang Zhong has published too many books in the past two years, which cannot be compared with others.
Some data stations saw that the data on book sales records had been completed, so they came up with ideas in other areas.
Others thought of movies and set a box office record for movies adapted from the works.
However, this record is not Zhang Zhong's. Although "Ten Little Indian Boys" has a high box office, this is the only film adapted from Zhang Zhong's work that has been released so far.
In this list, Zhang Zhong not only ranked 92nd on the global list, but also ranked fifth domestically.
The number one domestic film adaptation of a work has reached a box office of 11.1 billion. It is a youth literature author named Guo Dong. Although his four films in the "Kaleidoscope" series have not received a good reputation, the cumulative box office of the four films has reached 11.1 billion.
More than 4 billion, and there are many other novels such as "The End of Time is Sorrow" and "The End of Sorrow is Time", two sister works, which also have a total box office of close to 3 billion.
Of course, Zhang Zhong should be able to catch up with this list soon. It may not take long, as long as the movies "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" and "The Last Starfish" are released.
Not to mention "Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller", Shen Jian and the others would probably be very satisfied if this movie could earn 200-300 million at the box office.
But "The Last Starfish" is definitely a big production and a big IP. When it comes out, it will probably lose money if it doesn't hit double digits at the box office.
If it can be a big hit by then and the global box office reaches one billion US dollars, then Zhang Zhong can take down Guo Dong and jump to the top of the domestic list.
Of course, there is another thing. "Ten Little Indian Boys" is only released in the mainland now. It will be released in other countries in July. No matter what, it will always bring in some box office.
[Just wait, wait until "The Last Starfish Man" comes out, and you can trample Guo Abortion under your feet.]
[Looking further, is there anything comparable to this domestic list? Zhang Zhong is still more than 9 billion away from the top of the global list. He strives to surpass him in the next two years. 】
[Isn’t it an exaggeration to say that two years is a bit exaggerated? “Ten Little Indian Boys” only cost more than 4 billion Chinese dollars. It will take more than a dozen more movies with this level of box office. 】
[Otherwise, you are short-sighted and think that the box office of more than 4 billion Chinese dollars is high. "Ten Little Indian Boys" has not been released abroad yet. Maybe the foreign box office can be higher than that in China. Besides, those
Big sci-fi productions will definitely have high box office numbers. Don’t focus too much on the domestic box office, the format is too small.]
[I still find it difficult. Zhang Zhong cannot guarantee that every movie adapted from a book will be a hit. If it takes 20 years, I believe it. If it takes two years, I think it is impossible.]
【Because it’s difficult, that’s why I say fight for it.】
[Anyway, there should be no difficulty in ranking the domestic rankings. If we don’t break it next year, we will definitely break it later. 】
…
Zhang Zhong didn't pay much attention to these dazzling data lists, but Chen Qing was more concerned about it and searched for various lists on the Internet every day.
Before we knew it, it was the end of June, and the heat of "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" had not yet passed. The 001 Literature website announced another piece of news... no, two pieces of news about Zhang's re-booking.
This is the first time that two new books have been announced at once.
According to the announcement on 001 Literature Network, Zhang Zhong will publish a science fiction novel and a collection of works in early and late July.
We don’t have much expectations for the portfolio. After all, the portfolio generally contains relatively short works, most of which are fried rice and works that everyone has seen before.
What they care more about is the science fiction novel.
Not long after the Nebula Award was announced, Zhang Zhong's reputation in the science fiction world was unparalleled. He published two science fiction novels in succession, which attracted people's attention.
The new book is called "The Three-Body Problem". Contrary to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", the title of the new book is very short, only two words.
After seeing the title of this book, netizens started to imagine.
[Three-body? It should be an interstellar novel, I guess the three-body should refer to three celestial bodies.]
【Why not three bodies?】
[Three Bodies should be a fantasy novel.]
[Here I go, I actually read the title of the book into three books, and only after reading the comments did I realize I was wrong.]
[...Has the person upstairs just finished the college entrance examination? 】
【The results have come out, right? Three books?】
【Okay, okay, it’s a book.】
[I think it’s Sankyu…]
【Sanxiu, take me one.】
[I think the title of the book should be related to Taoism.]
【What does this mean upstairs? 】
[Don’t you know? Two is born, two begets three, three begets all things, all things bear yin and embrace yang...]
[Your statement is even more fantastical than three bodies.]
[I still think there should be three celestial bodies. Have you forgotten "The Wandering Sea Ball"? 】
[What does boss mean? Please be more detailed.]
[The three golden suns in Centauri mentioned at the end of The Wandering Sea Ball...]
