158, Ride the Wind
Buoyed by Zhang Fei's remake of "Hero", the sales of the novel are booming.
Yesterday's single-day sales not only broke the previous single-day sales record of 94,111 for "Hero", but also broke the recent record of "The Footpath", directly exceeding 110,000 copies, far behind "The Footstepper".
The 100,032 copies of "Video" increased the single-day sales record of martial arts novels by nearly 10,000 copies in one go.
Tang Shuang originally thought that it would be Jin Yong's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that could break the record of "Ping Zong Xia Ji Lu", but he didn't expect that it would be his own "Hero".
And judging from the current trend, 110,000 copies is not its limit. As the movie's promotion intensity increases, it will continue to attract the attention of the whole people. During the long period of filming, many people will buy the novel "Hero" just to catch a glimpse.
.
This is also the reason why Shengjing Publishing House dares to print an additional 1 million copies at once.
"Heroes" has set a single-day sales record, but in terms of single-week sales, it is still behind "The Footsteps" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Huaxia Bookstore announced the book sales rankings for the past week. "The Shadow of the Shadow" ranked first, with sales of 500,021 copies, breaking the record of "The History of the Martial Arts".
The sales volume of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ranked second was 449,030 copies, and the sales volume of "Heroes" in third place was 448,780 copies, barely catching up.
This is because "Hero" has not experienced a full sales week since the film was announced.
It is conceivable that in the second week, with the current momentum of "Hero", the top position is basically out of his mind, and both Liang Yusheng and Jin Yong will have to step aside.
A novel that was used as a foil at a book signing event ended up breaking out of the crowd among the published books and was about to take the top spot. This was beyond everyone's expectations, including Tang Shuang himself.
"Hero" is not only popular as a movie, but Huaxia Bookstore is increasing its efforts to promote it. In the past, this book was just placed in an inconspicuous position, but now, Huaxia Bookstore has required every branch to display "Hero"
" is placed in the most conspicuous place, so that now when book fans walk into Huaxia Bookstore, they can see "Hero" when they enter the door. The traffic and attention gained from it have skyrocketed, driving the media and book fans to pay attention to the author of the novel.
The Three Swords of the Imperial Guard has become a new generation of rising writers.
Photos of Tang Shuang at the book signing were dug out by book fans and spread rapidly on forums, Weibo, WeChat Moments and other networks.
This is an era where appearances are all about appearance. If you have both talent and good looks, it’s just like cheating. A writer can become an idol as well as a star.
Tang Shuang has been classified into this group, and his fans have grown rapidly. More than 60% of them are female fans. These people are not necessarily interested in martial arts, but they are interested in the author.
Books to Tang Shuang are like famous watches to men. Women will first feel attractive when they see a man wearing a famous watch, because it represents identity and status. In the same way, do these female fans like the "Hero" novel?
It's not important, the book represents Tang Shuang's talent, identity and status, just like a famous watch.
The writer has become a halo around Tang Shuang's head. Others may not like him, but they cannot care less.
The fan wave about Tang Shuang on the Internet is still in the process of brewing and has not exploded yet, but the print media has already sensed the signs. Wherever there is attention, they are there.
Therefore, many reporters tried their best to contact Tang Shuang. However, Tang Shuang was a newcomer and the outside world knew nothing about his background information.
This not only did not make those reporters back down, but instead aroused greater enthusiasm. As long as they could interview him, it would be exclusive and the first copy. This was a huge gimmick and was very helpful in driving sales.
But few people knew Tang Shuang's contact information, so these media outlets all set their sights on Star Culture Company, hoping to make an appointment with Tang Shuang through here.
Li Haonan has called three times to ask for Tang Shuang's opinion. He has screened these media once and only consulted Tang Shuang when he thought they were suitable.
Tang Shuang thought about it again and again, but still refused. He didn't like to appear in front of the media unless necessary.
If it is used as a means of promoting the movie, he can do it, but it has not reached that stage yet.
Tang Shuang knew that if he could refuse now, he might not be able to do anything about it in the future. According to the current situation, if the media could not interview him, not only would they not retreat, but they would pursue him.
The hot sales of the novel "Hero" not only attracted the attention of the media and book fans, but also attracted the attention of Jin Yong and others. On the second day after breaking the single-day sales, Liang Yusheng called to congratulate him. He was very open-minded and did not care about it.
Not happy about being fucked.
Then Wen Rui'an's security chief called, Jin Yong's call came, and Gu Long's call came... Everyone could see clearly that making the martial arts cake bigger would be beneficial to them, so it was not harmful to them.
It would be silly to have a gap in your heart because of a temporary sales ranking.
When it comes to communicating with Tang Shuang, the one who is most attentive is Bone Dragon, a limited edition butterfly, because he has an ulterior motive.
Ever since this butterfly got the idea of adapting "Hero" into a movie, he has been very enthusiastic and has only one purpose. I hope he can recommend it. He wants to play a cameo role in the movie, and he is extremely ambitious.
On the first day, after he got close to Tang Shuang, he announced that he would play Chang Kong.
In his words, he couldn't play Can Jian and Wu Ming. It was rare that he thought he couldn't compare to Li Ying and Liang Qiao in terms of acting, so after passing these two roles, he fell in love with Chang Kong.
They are both heroes, and they match each other very well in terms of temperament.
Tang Shuang just listened to him boasting quietly.
Seeing that Tang Shuang disagreed, Gu Long started to make deals. His novel was also adapted into a TV series. If Tang Shuang asked him to make a cameo in the movie, then he would prepare a role for Tang Shuang in the TV series. In order to show his generosity, his "Big Flag"
"The Legend of Heroes" was discussing the film and television rights, and told Tang Shuang that he could choose one, as if he had the final say.
The next day, he continued his efforts, took a step back, and gave up on Changkong. He took a fancy to the library director.
On the third day, after repeated defeats, he said that since Tang Shuang was so unhappy, he would condescend to play the role of the blind chess player in the chess hall.
Gu Long's original name is Yuan Xiaoming. He is a willful person who wants to experience everything. This is related to his experience, which makes him bohemian, optimistic by nature, and full of adventurous spirit.
Life is a joyful place, you should have fun and live happily.
He had a special liking for acting. He once worked as a group actor in Hengdian and lay in bed for three months. Because there was no one with a discerning eye to recognize talents, he felt resentful and began to write his own novels.
Nowadays, his novels are sought after by capital. Anyone who wants to buy the copyright must agree to one condition, which is to let him make a guest appearance.
