Chapter 335 Domination of the first quarter!
I have to say that the influence of bbc is absolutely unprecedented. If it is a Chinese TV series, no matter how popular it is, it will only affect the vicinity of East Asia. It will never be widely spread around the world like "Detective Sherlock".
BBC TV station probably is happily exporting TV programs at this time, and even if you collect money, you can be lenient.
Compared to netizens full of surprises, Zhang Chu is much calmer. After all, when he was studying in his previous life, he saw both male and female classmates chasing this TV series and discussing the plot of this TV series!
Now I am just changing from an audience to an author and screenwriter, and I hope this trend will not cool down.
With the arrival of the Spring Festival, the busyness of the bookstore has increased. Zhang Bowen spent almost all day in the bookstore. He had to arrange work schedules for employees during the Spring Festival, and contact suppliers, so that the popular books in his bookstore will not be out of stock during the Spring Festival week.
He was so busy that he couldn't see any people all day, and when he got home, Ge You was paralyzed.
Zhang Bowen is indeed a good boss. In order to allow all employees to take turns to go home for the Spring Festival, he even took his son to a squad.
Anyway, Zhang Chu has been helping with the old bookstore since he was a child. Even if he doesn’t check in the new store, he can be responsible for replenishing and security functions!
Nowadays, writers with a net worth of tens of millions come to work, and probably, except Hanlinxuan, cannot afford to hire this great Buddha.
"When the time comes, we will go back to our hometown and take your grandma over. Our family will be together this year."
Zhang Bowen improved his plan in the office, and was also a little happy. He only achieved something when he was middle-aged, but this was definitely not too late!
In previous years, Zhang Chu's family would close the Hanlinxuan Bookstore during the Spring Festival, and then come back to open when the God of Wealth is welcomed on the fifth day of the lunar month. But at that time, Hanlinxuan was just an ordinary small shop, which was incomparable to the bright big bookstore in front of you.
Such a large bookstore cannot be closed for a few days, as it will lose many customers and reputations. After all, as the Spring Festival approaches, many families will buy some story books or other reading materials for their children to pass the time.
Zhang Chu spread his hands helplessly and asked, "Or you can take grandma over now, just let her teach us matcha."
"It would be great if your grandma could speak so easily. She was most reluctant to leave that courtyard. Wouldn't you drive? Otherwise, you would drive to pick her up. If your grandma doesn't listen to anyone, you will just listen to your eldest grandson."
The more Zhang Bowen said, the more he felt that this idea was feasible, so he placed his car keys on the desktop.
"Okay, okay, can't I go? Call grandma now and ask her to pack up her things, and I'll go over the highway."
Old Mrs. Lin is not a little stubborn. Zhang Chu was reluctant to leave her hometown even if she asked her to go out to play.
After the father and son discussed the matter, they were in the mood to talk about the rest of the matter. They had not had a serious conversation for a long time.
"I took the time to watch your "Sherlock Detective" and it felt pretty good. No wonder I could bring it back to the top of the list." Zhang Bowen praised, "How much can you get such a popular TV series?"
This is not only what Zhang Bowen is curious about, but also something that others want to know.
Zhang Chu shook his head and replied: "Fixed screenwriter fees and copyright fees, even if BBC earns hundreds of millions, he won't give me a penny more."
"So cruel, capitalists are destroying and exploiting people."
Zhang Bowen was quite regretful. It would be great if he had signed a dividend agreement at the beginning, but this was just imagination. Why should a super giant TV station sign a dividend agreement with an unknown person?
It is already very conscientious to not lower the price on copyright fees. Who can have too many expectations for capitalists?
"It's normal. American and British writers still treat this. Who makes us have no grades to prove ourselves? But with this book as the foundation, the subsequent works will naturally increase the price."
Zhang Chu is not a philanthropist, let alone cheating British people of money, which makes it even less.
"Have you read the news online recently? Everyone is saying that you want to rule the first quarter of 2019. Recently, the sharp edge is too strong, so you must be low-key." Zhang Bowen said with great thoughts. The principle of big trees attracting wind has existed since ancient times.
Originally, he thought Zhang Chu was already very exaggerated last year, but in the new year, there has been an increase and a college student ruled the entire bestseller ranking. I wonder how many people are envious and jealous behind their backs!
On the contrary, Zhang Chu was a little confused at this moment. He frowned and asked, "What does it mean? The first quarter of domination?"
Zhang Bowen pointed to the sales figures printed on the newspaper and explained: "Your book "Ghost Blows Out the Light" sold more than two million copies in January. Now in February, when everyone thought they avoided a bomb and started to release new books, your "Sherlock Detective" is back, and the sales figures are so high, which is very desperate. In March, aren't you going to publish the new book "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli"?"
"Yes, but who can expect this historical book with academic nature to become a hit as soon as it is released?" Zhang Chu was puzzled. He didn't have much confidence in this book, so he could only take a long-term accumulation route. It was impossible for a tiger to come out like Hongfeng.
"Those prediction agencies are afraid of you. They are not sure every time, and they are beyond their expectations every time. This time they simply raise their expectations. Some people even booked the throne of the weekly champion. If the remaining power of "Detective Sherlock" is still there and the popularity of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" remains unabated, then it is possible that the top ten may be in the top three!"
Zhang Bowen himself was so excited that he used the word "rule" too correctly!
The most popular books in the entire book market are probably these few books. Even if children's books sell well, they are difficult to form a brand effect unless they are works written by those fairy tale kings or children's book experts.
A smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, but Zhang Chu still said modestly: "Praise and kill, it is just a pure praise and kill in the industry, and he just wants to help us make enemies."
There are only 365 daily champions and 52 weekly champions in the year book sales list and 12 months of champions. Now Zhang Chu has dominated several weekly champions. Everyone wants to eat meat and drink soup. This behavior of eating alone will definitely be hated.
Who doesn’t want to win the sales list for the book writer?
"Ghost Blows Out the Light" is like a mountain, occupying an advantageous position in the annual sales list in 2019, waiting for the impact of subsequent works.
