Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Chapter 531 First Day Records (Second Change)

Yu Dong's signing will last until after eight o'clock, and Yu Hua and the others will wait for him until after eight o'clock.

After staying in the bookstore for a while, the women and children were arranged by the people from Deep Space to go shopping.

"They should have eaten by now." Yu Hua covered her stomach, "I'm so hungry to wait for you."

Yu Dong laughed: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal."

But Wang Xiaobo said: "I think, if you want to invite, you should also invite Yu Hua."

"Why do you want me to invite you?"

Bi Feiyu nodded in agreement with Wang Xiaobo's proposal, "You should invite me. Today I saw that in this bookstore, your "Alive" has sold thousands of copies. Isn't this sales because of "Old Books"? You Said whether you should invite Yu to have a meal outside, and then some of us will accompany you."

Yu Hua chuckled, "Aren't there only a thousand copies? The books Yu Yuanwai sold in a day today are probably worth as much as we have for several years."

Wang Xiaobo nodded, stroked his chin and estimated, "It will be released simultaneously globally, and the situation in other countries is unclear, but judging by the popularity in the United States, it should be able to sell for a few million on the first day. It sold for 400 million."

Three to four million a day, this figure is quite scary just by listening to it.

"So many." Yu Hua said in amazement, "People can't be compared with others. "To Live" has been sold for so long, so that's the sales volume."

"More than that." Yu Dong laughed, ""To Live" should have sold 500 million copies worldwide."

Mo Yan squinted his small eyes, and said with a smile, "Yes, the sales volume of "To Live" is already very strong in my opinion, but it can't be compared with the sales volume of Yu Yuanwai's works."

"Well, Yu Yuan's worst sales volume should be more than 500 million copies." Bi Feiyu said.

Yu Hua shook her head, "Isn't there still a copy of "Cucumber Garden Essays"? The sales volume of this book is less than 500 million."

Bi Feiyu rolled his eyes, "What you said, it seems that we are holding him back."

"That's for sure. If it weren't for the fact that there are several of us in "Cucumber Garden Essays", the sales would have doubled."

Yu Dong squinted at them, waved his hands angrily and said, "Don't be shy, Jimmy will come over later, let him arrange dinner."

……

Qin Fen only slept for a few hours last night.

This time "Old Books" was released globally, Deep Space Chinese Network has followed up the whole process, and has been live broadcasting the sales of new books in various places.

Qin Fen started chasing after dinner yesterday, and didn't go to sleep until midnight.

There is no way, why is there a time difference between the east and the west? When he had dinner, it was hot in Europe, and the United States had just begun.

Later, he stayed up until more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was his wife who came and pulled him to the bed.

After sleeping for a few hours, he hurriedly got up again and continued to pay attention to the sales of new books.

At this moment, the sales of new books in various places have basically ended, but the data is still being counted, and the deep space live post is constantly posting the data uploaded by bookstores in various places.

[New York Bear Bookstore, 110000 volumes that day. 】

[London Waterstone Bookstore 1, 5000 volumes on the day. 】

[Berlin Baili Bookstore, 6000 volumes that day. 】

[London Waterstone Bookstore 2, 3500 volumes on the day. 】

……

The live broadcast on the Deep Space Chinese Network is very simple, just ordinary data broadcasting, but Qin Fen watched it with gusto, unable to stop.

This feeling is like he planted a seed in the ground, and then watched the seed slowly take root and germinate, break out of the ground, and then slowly grow into a towering tree.

When Qin Fen saw that Little Bear Bookstore had sold 11 copies of "Old Books" that day, he rubbed his eyes, lay down in front of the computer screen and read it carefully several times.

In the end, it was confirmed that it was correct, it was 11, not [-].

Scrolling down, sure enough, everyone is discussing the sales of 11 copies.

[Shen Zhou: Didn't the official write an extra zero? A bookstore sold 11 copies? 】

[Chen Mobai: I definitely didn't write an extra zero. I know this Little Bear Bookstore. Teacher Yu's book signings were basically at his house. 】

[Toronto teenager: Then it can’t be 11, it’s too exaggerated.On average, each person buys three books, and it takes 4 to 4 people. A bookstore goes to [-] to [-] people in one day to buy a book for one person? 】

[Ronald Shao: The data should not be falsified, there is no need for this. 】

[Toronto teenager: I'm not talking about falsification of data, I'm talking about whether it may be an operational error. 】

[Xiaoyao Sanren: What's the rush, the specific data will definitely be released, let's just watch. 】

[The fourth person who is married in Taoyuan: Can the official count the sales of books such as "Border Town" and "To Live" by the way? 】

[Liu Jinfa: Yes, I am very curious. The small bookstore in front of our house can't buy "Border Town". 】

【Lin Dongdong: Haha, I have already collected all ten books. 】

[Jin Kefan: I already collected them all, and I re-watched "Border Town" last night, it's so good! 】

[Turn-based: The first-day sales of "Old Book" should exceed 200 million, right? 】

[Chen Mobai: Be conservative with the boy, and the data sent out now has exceeded 200 million. 】

[Fox Fake Tiger Might: How many copies were printed for the first time? 】

[The seventh eighty-nine under heaven: I only know that the Chinese version is the first print of 200 million copies, and I don't know about other languages. 】

[Turn system: 200 million volumes...scary. 】

[Ronald Shao: 200 million is nothing, even if you print [-] million copies, I think it can be sold. 】

……

Jimmy was sitting in the office, looking at the data that was constantly coming in, feeling very good.

Of course, the data he saw was more recent and more than what was announced on the Deep Space Chinese Website. According to the current situation, the sales volume of "Old Book" within 24 hours is likely to exceed 800 million copies.

If this data can be achieved, their publicity this time will not be in vain.

The first-day record was basically won, and the follow-up results will definitely not be bad, because the quality of this book is indeed high, it has the characteristics of a bestseller, and it is memorable, and the sales volume must be very long-lasting.

I have to say that the Amazon website is very powerful this time. Before yesterday, the pre-orders of "Old Books" on the website exceeded one million.

In addition to sales, Jimmy has been receiving calls from various directors since yesterday afternoon. They called for no other reason than to want the right to adapt "Old Book".

Among them are some well-known directors, such as Peter Weir, the director of "Dead Poets Society", and Tim Burton, the director of "Edward Scissorhands".

However, Jimmy is not in a hurry to discuss with them the film and television adaptation rights of "Old Book". This book has only been on the shelves for a day, and its potential has not yet been fully released.
