Double happiness is coming, the hot sales of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" were unexpected, and "Detective Sherlock" ranked in the bestseller list in the United States far exceeded any of their expectations!

It seems that the driving effect of TV series is too obvious. Even an ordinary TV station with a rating of only a few million people can promote this book to various parts of the United States.

Zhang Chu was so shocked by Zhou Kang's surprise that he couldn't speak. He got what he had been thinking about.

The New York Times bestseller rankings are the oldest in North America. Any work that can be listed can be written on the cover of the reprinted book you have to use as a slogan.

"Huh, are there any specific rankings?"

Zhang Chu calmed down a little before continuing the topic just now.

Zhou Kang nodded and replied: "You are ranked ninth in fiction on the New York Times. The Wall Street Journal bestseller list is also in fiction, but it is ranked tenth!"

These rankings in North America only list the top 10, and no matter how many names the following will be mentioned.

"What if he is, whether it is the ninth or tenth place, just be on the ranking list." Zhang Chu looked very open-minded and did not have the ambition to hit the top.

After all, the potential of the book "Detective Sherlock" is basically here. As a fan work, it is estimated that the person in charge of the Conan Doyle Heritage Foundation is envious!

If Zhang Chu did not win that lawsuit, if Zhang Chu's TV series, Zhang Chu's eponymous book, wants to be broadcast and distributed in North America, you must pay a sky-high copyright fee.

Zhou Kang laughed and said, "I guess the media will know that they will reprint and report the news from the United States without us notifying you. I am helping you contact CCTV for an exclusive interview, which is our biggest bargaining chip."

Originally, Menglong Culture Media had nothing to do with those serious TV stations, and they didn't want Zhang Chu to waste opportunities when he went to a program with no influence.

CCTV, the giant, is obviously the best choice, but based on Zhang Chu's qualifications and influence, it is obviously difficult to gain attention on CCTV!

But Zhou Kang looked at the best-selling list of two authoritative American media in front of him, and became full of confidence. The achievements of his writers were his confidence to keep calm.

"Then I wish you good luck. I really want to be on CCTV programs. Are you better at "Lucky 52" or "Happy Dictionary"?"

Zhang Chu thought that he should play with Wang Xiaoya and Xiaoni, and could also consolidate his aura of academic masters. He would push him all the way, no matter how Wang Xiaoya asked, he would not change it!

"I think it's beautiful. If you think it's my turn on CCTV, you can go to any program you want."

Zhou Kang couldn't help rolling his eyes.

...

Zhang Chu put down his phone. He looked at the matcha squatting beside the TV. He walked over and picked it up from the ground, then placed it on the sofa.

He said earnestly: "If you wear glasses like this, it will be bad. Just sit here and watch it, otherwise I will turn on the TV!"

He adapted to the rhythm of being a dad in advance.

After settling the matcha, Zhang Chu let it watch the documentary quietly, and then he walked into the study. He turned on the computer and wanted to witness the news reports of the two newspapers with his own eyes.

If you don't look at it yourself, you won't be at ease.

This is the era of the Internet. Even if people are not in North America, they can still find their electronic version of news through the Internet.

The New York Times newspaper reading volume is as high as ever, and in the review of Zhang Chu's most concerned book bestseller list, he saw the words "Detective Sherlock".

The winner of this issue's fiction book sales list is Patricia Conville's new work "Scarpeta", known as the most popular crime writer in the United States.

This book tells the story of female forensic pathologist Scapeta being invited to participate in a case investigation in New York. The airborne rankings show her unparalleled creative ability!

The famous American radio host Glenn Byck's "Christmas Sweater" ranked second in the runner-up for three consecutive times, and last week's champion "Cross Country" fell to third place this week.

It is worth mentioning that "Edgar Sort", which ranked fourth this week, has been on the list for 26 weeks, and is still a favorite among readers.

Apart from these works, Zhang Chu finally saw his name!

"Sherlock" is the first time it is on the list. As long as it is on the list, it can get extraordinary exposure. Many readers buy books based on the rankings.

Now both authoritative newspapers and media have placed "Detective Sherlock" on the rankings, proving that Random House is indeed very effective in operating bestsellers.

To put it in the disadvantage, it is that they have not announced the approximate sales of each book. The real sales can only be announced by publishers. These numbers are very humid!

When the total sales of "Detective Sherlock" were just 900,000, Random House couldn't wait to celebrate the sales of over one million, and the rest of the works were even more terrifying!

If you have 500,000 or 600,000 copies, you will dare to spread the news of millions. If you have a real sales volume of over one million, you will give the title that swept the whole of the United States.

Selling books is also a gimmick. Zhang Chu only hopes that "Detective Sherlock" can stay on this ranking for two more weeks now, and maybe there will be no such opportunity in the future.

Because most of the works he has written are related to Chinese traditional culture, it is difficult to make a difference in "Ghost Blows Out the Light" or "Soushen Ji" abroad. On the contrary, the possibility of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is still a little bit higher.

Because "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" was originally published in English in the United States and later published in Chinese, its English name was "1587, a-year-of-no-signifiane: the-ming-dynasty-in-deline". 1587 was a meaningless year for the decline of the Ming Dynasty.

The book was very embarrassing before it was published. Mr. Huang Renyu wrote the book as early as 1976, but it was never able to be published.

In the publishing industry in the United States, the classification of commercial and academic works is quite strict!

Commercial publishing uses television and advertising as pioneers, and short-term marketing will be completed quickly, otherwise books will accumulate in warehouses and hinder the flow of funds.

Academic publishing is mainly published by publishers from various universities. It is optimistic about economic concerns, but also concerns about the reputation and status of the school.

Unfortunately, "The 15th Year of Wanli" happens to be between commercial and academic. For commercial publishers, it mentions palace life and the grudges between concubines.

Although he had a certain interest, the emergence of Hai Rui involved the finances of the Ming Dynasty; and because Li Zhi mentioned Chinese thought, it should be an academic work.

The University Press believes that this book is neither like a dynasty nor a special paper, and lacks analysis and dissection, which is really inappropriate and unwilling to publish!

It took three years to make such a struggle, and finally Yale University Press reluctantly agreed to publish it.

However, after its publication, the book caused a sensation, and some people claimed that it even changed the Chinese people's habit of reading history!

After being published by Yale University, it quickly adopted micro-textbooks by many American universities, and was nominated for two major awards: the National Book Award and the History Good Book. The Chinese version was also selected as one of the twenty books with the greatest influence on China in the past 20 years of reform and opening up!

Due to different cultural customs, "Soushen Ji" is almost impossible to gain a foothold in the United States. Instead, this "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" may have achieved some success in the non-fiction rankings.

But what Zhang Chu is worried about now is that he has changed the history of fame in this book and I wonder if he can exude amazing charm like on earth.

This idea disappeared after a moment in his head. Now he will conquer the domestic market first. Then there are ways to enter the European and American markets!

If you rashly abandon the domestic market and your foundation is unstable, you may experience the same experience as Zhang Ziyi's first career.

Zhang Chu came to his senses. He looked at the news on the Internet, and various media really reported on them.

[Detective Sherlock is on the New York Times bestseller rankings, Zhang Chuanmei has achieved first results!]

[Zhang Chu***'s work "Detective Sherlock" sold millions of copies in Europe and the United States. The Wall Street Journal said that this is the best detective in recent years!]

[The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" quickly topped the best-selling list, this is Zhang Chu's fourth top book in sales list.]

[New York Times, Wall Street Journal bestseller rankings updated, Chinese writer Zhang Chu's works are listed!]

Various news titles emerged one after another, and even Xinhuanet and People's Daily reprinted them, let alone several major portals.

Zhang Chu's readers can hardly digest so much good news. They were just celebrating the 15th year of Wanli to top the domestic sales list. But they saw news that "Detective Sherlock" was on the list in the United States!

They all celebrated happily on the Internet.

"It's full bloom, Boss Zhang Chu is so powerful!"

"The stupid Americans, Shen Xia, have already won the championship in China and Britain, but they have just made it to the list in the United States."

"Good things come in pairs, I hope the books behind can be as good as this one!"

"Season 2 is coming out soon. Zhang Chu must have started the TV series first."

"It's enough for me to write Soshen Ji for so long but I haven't seen any news."

"I finally made it on the list. My college roommate who I exchanged in the United States said that many people in their school are reading this book, and it would be strange if they can't make it on the list!"

"Congratulations!"

"Awesome, all the best-selling books in British language are listed in the UK and Australia, the highest in Canada, and now the ninth in the United States, so strive to rush up!"
Chapter completed!
