Chapter 224 The first day of explosion
Before the people of Britain, the United States and Canada got up, this book "Sherlock" sold thousands of copies, most of which were night owls.
If they get up, wouldn’t this number have to be several times higher?
Random House has high hopes for this book. They think that "Detective Sherlock" may surpass "Boyant Pi" in sales of novels, and even now Zhang Chu is still translating this novel.
Several major bookstores in North America have all obtained works, and posters have been posted. The physical books are placed in a pile at the door or in a special recommendation column.
Several sellers on the Internet also placed "Detective Sherlock" in a prominent position on the web page, such as "new book listing" and "new book recommendation".
This is the benefit of relying on large publishing companies!
You don’t need to spend any effort to get excellent treatment. You should know that the placement of works in a bookstore will directly affect sales.
The wine is also afraid that the alley is deep, and works with good locations are more likely to be picked up by consumers in their hands and read. Those works hidden deep in the bookshelf are probably only to accompany the dust for a long time!
Large companies not only have advantages in distribution, but also have channels for publicity and do not care much about costs. Moreover, this English version can be printed in millions of copies.
People who walk into the bookstore in the morning, people who sit on the subway to read newspapers, and people who open web pages to buy books will always like Holmes, and people who are always interested in the modern version of Holmes.
When technology is developed, how can a detective solve the case?
This problem has troubled them for a long time, and soon some netizens helped advertise on social media for free.
...
New York, USA.
Jessica has always been called a freak by her classmates because she is always unsociable and has not liked Barbie dolls or other things that girls like since she was a child.
Every day, I hold thick mystery novels and detective novels to read, and her dream is to enter the police station or FBI, and use her own abilities to catch one bad guy after another!
This hobby looks a bit strange to her classmates, but after she arrived in college, she found that she was not that lonely. There are many people with the same hobbies as her, and everyone likes this type of books.
Every week we gather together to discuss our favorite works, discuss all kinds of clues in this work, and we will solve cases and other things together. Even if we don’t get together, we can share them frequently through Facebook.
Her favorite activity is to play board games with this group of friends. In the club of reasoning enthusiasts, board games are the only magic weapon to enhance understanding. The "Shirt House Shock" board game has many small stories. Each member must supplement and improve these small stories to get various clues.
Jessica usually works part-time in a bookstore, making some money and reading books for free in her spare time. This is simply a paradise on earth for her!
"Hi, Jessica. Can you help me put this poster on the poster bar at the door?" A middle-aged white woman in a bookstore uniform twisted her exaggerated buttocks and handed over the glue and the poster.
"Of course, leave it to me."
Jessica is already very skilled in doing this job. She unfolded the poster and was attracted by the content on the poster before she could even apply glue!
It's Sherlock!
My favorite detective novel, the originator of all detective novels!
However, her excitement did not last long because she suddenly realized that she had never read this work, and the slogan below was also a bit attractive.
The modern version of Sherlock Holmes is either a masterpiece or a super bad book.
Jessica planned to read it with critical eyes. After she quickly posted the poster, she found traces of the book on the bookshelf.
The cover and printing look pretty good, not amazing, but it doesn't disgusting either.
Anyway, there are no customers coming in the bookstore now, so she plans to read it casually to see how it is written.
Who knew that this was awesome to see. Jessica sat on the wooden stairs holding the book "Sherlock" and was fascinated by watching it!
Sherlock Holmes, who can use his mobile phone, and Watson, who can update his blog online, looks weird and full of intimacy, as if they are living in the same era as themselves.
"It's worthy of being Sherlock, but he actually hacked those people's mobile text messages!"
Jessica thought excitedly, Sherlock Holmes' appearance was indeed amazing. She loved this novel so much!
Not only are these characters very familiar, but the important thing is that the description and handling of the case are very distinctive, which is refreshing and inexplicably familiar.
After all, when the words Sherlock are put out, people will have a complex to pay for the bill and appreciate it, rather than the rest.
"No, I have to share it with my friends."
After saying that, she took out her mobile phone and took a photo of the cover of the book "Detective Sherlock", and then posted it to Facebook, and said, "God! I must recommend this book to everyone. It is so attractive. I just read fifty pages in one go! This is the most exciting fan of Sherlock Holmes I have ever seen. I heard that BBC is preparing to shoot a TV series, so I look forward to it!"
Jessica didn't even plan to put the book in her hand on the bookshelf, she wanted to buy it herself and continue reading.
...
News from Random House has not yet come, but domestic media are all thick-skinned than anyone else. They cannot see the data for the time being, but they can see book reviews on Amazon in different countries.
The reference of that data is relatively large. Detective Sherlock's lawsuit did attract a lot of Sherlock's fans, especially the hardcore ones!
The positive reviews look pretty good, and the UK's new book list is third, and the US Amazon's new book list is seventh, which is already the highest ranking of Chinese-language works in history.
Zhang Chu has not yet stabilized the domestic market and has gone to foreign markets. Nanhai Publishing Company has always been worried that it will be a bit of losing sight of one thing, after all, the foundation is the country.
But I can't resist everyone's chances and rush out, not only Zhang Chu, but also the rest!
"The data is out!"
Zhou Kang shouted excitedly. Before he could even open the email from New York, his desk was surrounded by his colleagues.
"The English version of "Detective Sherlock" sold a total of 71,000 copies on the first day of the world! 10,121 physical books sold in the UK and 8,316 electronic versions sold. Wouldn't that have exceeded 20,000 on the first day of the UK!"
"The United States sold a total of 18,000 copies. It seems that the British prefer Sherlock Holmes!"
"Australia seems to be very good, is it because it used to be a British colony?"
"Brother Zhou is considered to be well-developed. Zhang Chu's book has not been promoted yet, it all depends on distribution. The 415 volumes of rumors spread by the media are simply laughing out loud!"
"We must celebrate today, Brother Zhou treats you!"
Zhou Kang smiled, he raised his cell phone and said, "We should treat you to the leader! I'll call Zhang Chu first to report the good news."
