On the first day, the infinite horror became hot.
According to incomplete statistics from the domestic media, Infinite Horror sold 1.2 million copies in China on the first day, setting a domestic book sales record. This record is expected by many experts and media, but also unexpected. Regarding Lin Feng's infinite horror, many experts have assessed that Lin Feng's popularity and identity must sell well, but they did not expect it to sell so hot. This is really beyond everyone's expectations.
On the first day of listing, 1.2 million books were sold. In China, it seems that only those **** anthologies can do it. Of course, it is a rigid allocation. This is purely personal will. The two are not the same. This sales data has undoubtedly made many writers jealous. Since ancient times, literati have been dismissive, not to mention that Lin Feng, who was a monk, can sell 1.2 million copies. This is really jealous and jealous.
In particular, a relatively funny data calculated by a certain media, due to the purchase of Infinite Horror, there are more than 50% of missed buses, late for work (school), late for appointments and other oolong incidents. That is to say, in China, on the first day, there are More than 600,000 people missed the shuttle bus, were late for work (school), and even arrived late for appointments because of watching the infinite horror. This data undoubtedly proves the charm of infinite horror even more naked.
Jealous! ——Many literati are jealous, but for the sake of face and reputation, it is inevitable that in interviews with many reporters, they will not laugh and flatter a few words——this novel is good, quite novel, you can read it, you can read it.
Of course, in the end, it is inevitable to have a pain in my heart and add these two sentences-the sale is so good because of his fame and the price of the book is too cheap-completely exposed the true thoughts in the minds of these literati.
Of course, for some enthusiastic netizens and idle experts, they are more concerned about the overseas sales of Infinite Horror. This is the first time in so many years that a Chinese book has been sold globally for the first time. There are tens of millions of copies in print. This is unheard of. I am afraid that only the Bible can do this, and it is translated into multiple languages in the first time. This is the Bible. Didn't do it either. If the sales volume of 1.2 million copies on the first day in China is the result of many domestic readers taking advantage of Lin Feng’s face, Jin Yong’s face, and the price, what about foreign countries? Will foreign readers buy Lin Feng's account?
After a day of statistics, the amazing sales records were calculated.
On the first day, a total of 1 million copies were sold in Europe, and 600,000 copies were sold in the United States, including 400,000 copies sold in other countries. On the first day, Infinite Horror sold 2 million copies in overseas markets. Counting domestic sales, Infinite Horror sold a total of more than 3.2 million copies on the first day in the world!
This sales volume is very scary, it is very shocking. Although the total sales volume is still not comparable to the tens of millions of Harry Potter series, in terms of the first day of sales, Infinite Horror has surpassed Harry Potter's first day of sales.
For the success of Infinite Terror, the most important thing is that many Western media have played a leading role in it. Since Lin Feng’s infinite horror propaganda, many Western media have been ridiculing him, ridiculing Lin %%, and writing a novel of several million words, which is an insult to the word writer. It is precisely because of this that the alternative "propaganda" of many media has aroused the curiosity of Western readers, especially Western people have always had a special preference for horror (this is also a common problem of all urbanites, too plain) After his life, I need a little excitement), this book is actually called Infinite Horror, so what kind of "infinite" law is also worth looking forward to.
The launch time of Infinite Horror happened at night. For most Western readers, this time was very bad, and it could even be said to be very bad. When it was released that day, there were not many readers who really lined up to buy Infinite Horror. On the contrary, Most Western readers are prepared to wait until tomorrow after reading the comments on Infinite Horror in the newspapers from all walks of life.
As a result, the next day, when the Westerners got up and opened the newspapers looking for comments on Lin Feng's infinite horror, they couldn't find it everywhere. According to common sense, Lin Feng’s news is usually at the top of the list. For example, when Lin Feng just announced the launch of his debut novel Infinite Horror, many Western media made headlines mocking Lin %% on the front page. At that time, the scene was a family member of the global media. The only "outsider" is Lin Feng.
As a result, when Lin Feng's debut novel Infinite Horror was really launched, many media were dumbfounded, there was no voice, and relevant comments were no longer visible, which naturally made many people strange.
Did you get the wrong newspaper? Still misleading? ——Everyone can't help asking themselves.
But after reading the date in the newspaper carefully, and after reading it again, I finally found that I had taken the wrong newspaper, just a little bit of a glance. It turns out that many media outlets are not without comments, but only a small piece of commentary text with a few words.
For example, the Sun’s comment is-so-so.
auzw.com
The USA TODAY commentary is-you can watch it when you are bored to pass the time.
The Asahi Shimbun is-take the subway to see reluctantly.
......
Most of the media's comments are the same, they are reluctant, okay, and improvised. As for the content, theme, structure, etc. of the novel, it is too abnormal. Only the British Times commented on a relatively large page in the second edition with an authoritative, serious, and fair stand. The novel theme is very novel, the concept is very bold, and it opens an unprecedented world for people, but the text is average.
Under such abnormal comments, it evoked the purchase of Western people. Those readers who want to see the debut novel of the world’s richest man, bought a copy during the day on the way to work, ready to pass the time to read it. After all, it is not expensive, only 9.8 US dollars, and the packaging is so exquisite, or two volumes, from In terms of weight, it is not a loss.
At first glance, the many ideas in the West were shockingly unparalleled. For them, they can imagine superheroes such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc., and conceive fantasy events such as aliens, underground caves, Loch Ness monsters, etc., but they have never imagined that such novels will appear.
A similar movie (starring Schwarzenegger, the Phantom Hero) appeared in the United States once, and it was about people entering the movie, which can change the plot development in the movie. But this movie didn't cause much sensation at the time, but it was not bad or good. The main reason is that the whole scene is not exciting enough, not hot enough, or thrilling enough.
But infinite horror is different. First of all, the protagonist of the novel enters the horror movie scene, and these horror movies are familiar to many western readers, and it is easy to fall into the scene set by the novel, and the sense of substitution is very strong. Regarding the promotion of character attributes, it is very much in line with the appetite of Westerners. The West admires personal heroism, and this novel undoubtedly caters to the appetite of Westerners.
But since sales are so good, why is the evaluation so bad? This question is the question of all western readers who have seen Infinite Horror. After all, in this novel, except for the ordinary writing, all other ideas are very novel, even beyond modern concepts, almost epoch-making.
In interviews with many media, Lin Feng only said one word-jealousy. These Western reporters are jealous of themselves. Originally, they thought their Virgo was very bad and very unworthy to see, but unexpectedly it was so popular and the sales were so hot. This undoubtedly slapped all the reporters severely. In this case, naturally they won’t Report it again.
People want face. Including these reporters who can shamelessly cover celebrities* all day long.
Of course, what embarrassed many western reporters is that after the day of Infinite Horror, Lin Feng further increased his propaganda efforts, announcing that readers would be able to buy this book on the Internet through Dingdong.com, and enjoy a 10% discount. In the global lottery, a total of 100 lucky readers were drawn. These 100 lucky readers will have the honor to go to Lam Fung’s private island-Spain’s Safiladura for a week-long romantic vacation.
Although the quota of these 100 people is too small compared to the readers who buy Infinite Horror, the sales of Infinite Horror are steadily sold under the lure of good-looking books, cheap prices, and lucky draw to go to Spain’s Safiladura Island for vacation. rising. In the first week, a total of 10 million copies were sold worldwide, making it the best-selling book list in various countries, second only to Harry Potter.
This achievement is unprecedented in the history of Chinese literary circles. It is shocking and impressive. No one thought that Lin Feng's Virgo would sell so hot. Although the Western media is extremely indifferent to this, they just reported on the sales of Infinite Horror. However, this cannot resist the enthusiasm of the Chinese media. They have called Infinite Horror a cross-age masterpiece in popular fiction.
Of course, the domestic media may say that it is excessively flattering, but global readers' love for it cannot be faked.
Four days! According to media statistics, from buying Infinite Horror to watching Infinite Horror, on average, readers around the world have only spent less than four days. To watch Infinite Horror in four days, we can only say that everyone has worked very hard, which is enough to prove infinite. The charm of horror.
But it is not addictive to watch it once, and after reading it roughly again, there are quite a few, and taste it a second time. After reading it for the second time, many readers still feel that it is not enough. Because if this is just a novel, it's not too addictive. If there can be games, movies, and TV, how good would it be?
Numerous postings began to call on Lin Feng to modify Infinite Horror into a game and adapted it into movies and TV. And this heat wave will undoubtedly bring the infinite terror to a higher level once again, a height that all media cannot ignore.
Infinite horror has once again become a global topic!
