Chapter 228 A New High

Random Bookstore has used a lot of methods to promote "Detective Sherlock". This time, it joined forces with BBC to connect the entertainment industry news with the sales of the book industry.

The effect seems to be quite good at the moment, at least the relevant reports have increased. Compared with many new works, the number of exposures of "Sherlock" is amazing!

Especially the Holmes fans in North America regard Zhang Chu as a hero. Many of them are imitating, continuing or writing about Sherlock Holmes' fan works, but none of them can reach the current height of this book.

They are also fans, but the gap is too big.

Young fans of the Far East not only wrote this book, but also were adapted into a TV series!

The discussions on the outside network remained high. They had endless content about the actors of the new version of Sherlock Holmes, the plot, and the books.

"It's hard to imagine what Holmes would look like in modern times. I'm looking forward to this TV series!"

"Why are there only three episodes? This is about the same time as a movie, it's too little!"

"I can't believe that this story was written by the Chinese. Have they seen Sherlock Holmes?"

"I remember the novel I wrote in the 12th grade. I have to go home in two days to see if I can find it."

"I finally saw Holmes on TV again, but why did he look a little ugly? Hope it's just the reason for the poster."

"I heard that this TV series is based on a novel? Why can't I find it in a bookstore?"

European and American readers were all excited. The name Sherlock Holmes has penetrated into all aspects of their lives.

As for the Conan Doyle Foundation, it was extremely depressed. A money tree was cut off by Zhang Chu!

If the copyright is not made public to the public, the foundation can earn millions of dollars based on bbc TV series, let alone Zhang Chu's work.

Unfortunately, they just dared not speak out, and they didn't even dare to appeal again. The result of the case was clear, and it was impossible for a judge to overturn the case!

...

Compared to European and American readers who have only seen the novel content now, Chinese netizens are much happier!

They had read the content of "Detective Sherlock" half a year ago, and even knew the copyright purchase of bbc.

However, this wave of news has brought the works that faded out of sight back to their attention, and has also made some readers who do not like mystery novels and detective novels curious.

What kind of fan works can reach this level of strength?

Young people almost all know that Sherlock Holmes is a detective, but they may not have read novels with Sherlock Holmes as the main character.

Anyway, I am idle, so it’s better to buy a book and read it!

Li Jiaming usually doesn't like reading novels. He likes all kinds of games. He either plays computer games or holds a mobile phone or a console game after get off work.

Reading books is like hypnosis pills for him. No matter what book is kept for half an hour and is more effective than any brand of sleeping pills.

Sitting on the bus, Li Jiaming originally planned to play two games of King of Glory, but the red remaining power in the upper right corner made him dare not act rashly, so he had to check out WeChat!

In WeChat Moments, there are college classmates on vacation, customers who come and go to work to promote their products, some students from banks are popularizing the differences between financial management and investment, and some students from elementary school show off their babies every day.

Li Jiaming could hardly find any fun. Just as he was about to quit, he suddenly saw a link shared by a friend: "I am sharing "Sherlock" on Douban, come and watch it!"

"What kind of book is this? Why are people talking about it everywhere?" Li Jiaming muttered. Some people chatted at work, and some people in the game group said that there are still people sharing it in the circle of friends now.

For a moment, he did not associate Sherlock with Sherlock Holmes at all, thinking that these were two different characters. Until he clicked on the link he shared, he realized that this is the work of this legendary detective Sherlock Holmes!

Sherlock is the name and Sherlock is the surname. Many people directly think that Sherlock is the real name, and the Sherlock family is a great detective.

"I haven't even read the original book of Holmes. Can I understand this story?"

Li Jiaming hesitated, and happened to find that Douban Reading could view the first few thousand words of the novel for free, so he staggered and clicked on the bus stopping and stopping to read.

I usually play games and watch live games to get energetic. As a result, Li Jiaming found that he did not doze off when he read this novel. It was really a magical thing!

This famous detective and his friends have experienced bizarre citizen suicide cases, gang smuggling cases and countdown bomb murders. Each case seems a bit independent, but it is actually related.

Every time these two people solve a case, new problems and innocent victims will arise. Li Jiaming couldn't let it go at all. Finally, he made up his mind to pay 9.99 yuan to buy the electronic version, and then continued to read happily, wanting to know who is the real mastermind behind it!

Before the TV series started to play, the original Chinese version of "Detective Sherlock" had already returned to the rankings based on the popularity of the English version.

If we include the "Psychological Crime" that has been back on the list before and the "Journey to the West" that has been on the list, now Zhang Chu's three physical books have released all of them on the top 200 list!

This has almost set a new record. Almost never any writer's works are on the sales list, except for those who only have one or two books.

On November 9, "Detective Sherlock" ranked 171st, with 1,810 copies sold in a single day, and a cumulative sales of 859,000 copies.

"The City of Psychological Sin" ranked 144th, with 2,145 copies sold in a single day and a cumulative sales of 614,000 copies.

"Journey to the West" ranked 49th, with a daily sales of 5,215 copies and a cumulative sales of 430,000 copies.

This achievement is simply envious. If "The Fantasy Drift of the Young Pi" is officially released, the four books will be directly cured!

In Europe and the United States, "Detective Sherlock" ushered in explosive development.

Without BBC news, there wouldn’t be many people know that this modern Sherlock Holmes TV series that has already started filming actually has novels!

In the British market, "Detective Sherlock" sales soared, with daily sales exceeding 30,000 copies, successfully topped the new book list.

In the North American market, this work also hit a new high, with sales of more than 25,000 copies, rising from eighth to fifth place in the new book sales list, and is approaching "Night School" step by step!
