Chapter 177 Breaking the record on the first day
(It is still a bonus for the book friend "Guardian of Truth" to be promoted to the sect, and all the bonuses will be paid off!)
After almost half an hour of delay at the airport, Lin Han successfully walked out to the place where he took a taxi. The fans of Hanlin Academy were doing very well. Previously, readers from the North American branch came to support Lin Han on the spot during the science fiction conference.
Now Lin Han’s popularity is no less than those third-tier stars. It’s just that he never acts, he is just a director and writing, so many people have heard of his name, and it is not possible to combine his appearance with his name for the time being.
After returning to the community, the old men and mothers who were originally practicing dancing under the shade of trees surrounded them and asked curiously: "Xiaolin, we read the news and said that you won the prize, or are you the first in China?"
"Old man Zhu, he is obviously the first in Asia, but it seems to be the Hugo Award in France. It's quite awesome anyway. The young man is indeed the material for writing words."
"Hugo Award? How do I remember it's like the Nobel Prize, Kobayashi gave the big guy in our community a long face. Many reporters want to interview us these two days."
"What do you know? This is the award for science fiction. Kobayashi, you can sign Aunt Zhang now when you have time. My grandson likes to read your novels very much. That day, I saw him holding the book "Martian Rescue" and laughing!"
These enthusiastic neighbors made Lin Han unable to resist, and he had to speak, "This is not a Nobel Prize, but an ordinary prize, not too exaggerated. Aunt Zhang, I'll get you a set of autograph books tomorrow."
"Oh, Kobayashi, you're too polite. Just sign it. How can you give us books? I heard you are still hitting sales. Our neighbors said that they would support you whenever they say they would. I'll tell the neighborhood committee and ask them to buy more books and put them in the reading room of the community."
"Kolin, you just came back from a business trip? Go and rest quickly, don't be tired."
Lin Han didn't expect that he would be loved by these neighbors after he came back. He quickly said, "I'll go back and have a sleep. You guys continue. I think the dance looks good!"
Dragging the suitcase back to the room, there was not much dust in the room for four or five days. Lin Han opened the window to let the air in the room flow.
I was very tired from taking a long-distance plane, and the jet lag was also necessary, so it took several days to relieve myself every time I took a trans-ocean plane.
It's daytime now, and Lin Han can't fall asleep, otherwise he will wake up in the middle of the night. However, in this state, he is not suitable for writing novels or scripts. His head is so drowsy that it is easy to make mistakes, and the quality is not very good.
He simply turned on the computer to see the reviews of his novels. It was only 24 hours before it was released. Lin Han was still looking forward to the sales and evaluations of the novels.
If more people could accept this novel, the movie would be much faster to promote, and everyone loves prehistoric dinosaurs.
Since the electronic version is only sold on Amazon China, it is very convenient to count. Lin Han directly clicks on Amazon's website and then enters the kindle e-book.
He did not find "Jurassic Park" in these promotional places on the homepage. Those discounted books in the special offer area are popular this month, and the theme columns are all other books.
The figure of dinosaurs appeared on the shelves of the new book on the homepage. The novel that just launched for a day now has more than 870 reviews, and the current rating is four and a half stars.
The books that were released on the shelves almost the same time as "Jurassic Park", the following comments are pitifully small, with more than ten or twenty, and only two fewer, which is completely different from the hundreds of reviews.
If readers who have bought the book finish reading, the number of reviews may increase a lot. Only by reading novels can you understand the stories in it, otherwise you will just comment blindly.
Lin Han did not ask Amazon staff for sales data at this time. He planned to wait until the results came out on the first day before talking about them. He really wanted to see the comments in front of him.
"I thought it was a novel that was a story that was won by plot alone, but after reading it in one go, I found that it was not just a novel plot. The Jurassic Park system, the Malcolm effect and the reflection on science in the novel are all very interesting. I recommend it to read it!" The reader has confirmed the purchase and gave a five-star praise.
Another reader briefly commented: "This is a good thriller novel I have read recently. I have never thought that science fiction can be combined with thriller. The novel portrays the characters very clearly, and the description of the thriller plot is even more vivid. I am looking forward to what it looks like when it is made into a movie."
"The novel is written very carefully. The little girl on the beach was attacked by a little dinosaur. The details of the attack were extremely vivid and specific. The little dinosaurs began to attack the newborn baby in the hospital, pulled off a piece of flesh from the baby's face, and then chewed it very much. Such a detailed and touching description is a bit bloody and horrible, and it is very picturesque.
The various dinosaurs that appear in the novel are my favorites. Whether it is the ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex, the cunning velociraptor, the poisonous dichroic dragon or the cute appearance but attacking babies, there are too many different dinosaurs in the novel, which will definitely make people excited. The huge Tyrannosaurus rex vs. the young Tyrannosaurus rex, the two dragons will have to suffer one injury when fighting each other."
"The biggest highlight of the novel is that humans fight wits and courage with dinosaurs. These extremely smart dinosaurs can track, judge, communicate, open doors, divert their sight, attack them inadvertently, and even show their weakness. They are simply dinosaurs becoming spirits! The protagonists have many ways to fight them, such as poisoning, provoking, seducing food, and the characters of hunters and prey are constantly being exchanged!"
"I can only give four stars because it scared my son. I saw it well, but it turned out to be extremely bloody. Is it necessary to describe people-eating so meticulously? I want to see the interaction between the protagonist and the gentle herbivorous dinosaur. In the book, you can feed the triceratops baby, treat the stegosaurus, and have close contact with the thunder dragon, which is enviable."
Lin Han looked at these comments and felt very satisfied. He did not expect everyone to think that this was a masterpiece. Everyone has different tastes. Even if Lin Han labeled science fiction thriller in the novel category, some people were accidentally scared.
But the more scared they were, the more attractive they felt. These people were complaining and were reluctant to let go of their hands.
In just a short time, you can see the ranking of Amazon's hot-selling products in the introduction column of the novel page.
After nearly a whole day of release, "Jurassic Park" directly ranked 87th in the kindle store product rankings, and sales in one day topped the total list!
And in the e-book novel list of the kindle store, it simply landed first in the weekly list, and it is also the number one in the e-book novel classification science fiction novels!
In the science fiction category, Lin Han simply won the top three, "Jurassic Park" airborne first, "Martian Rescue" retreated one and ranked second, and "I, Robot" won the Hugo Award and surpassed Li Wenyuan from fifth place, "Storm Out of the Milky Way" ranked third.
Probably no novelist can be so powerful, and he contracted the entire science fiction novel list!
“Beautiful job!”
Lin Han gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. After dominating the science fiction list, he would focus on the novel list instead of the science fiction category.
After guessing that the time was about the same, he used QQ to knock on the staff member he had been in contact with and asked him about the first-day sales results of "Jurassic Park".
"Teacher Lin! The sales results of your novels on the first day have broken our sales records. 180,000 copies were sold within 24 hours, and the average annual sales of more than 6,000 copies per hour!"
On the first day of the book release, I bought 180,000 copies on Amazon. This number is very, very amazing. Lin Han quietly calculated the bill in his mind. Each book costs 8 yuan, and the sales of 180,000 copies is 1.44 million yuan, and he can get 70% of the share, which is exactly one million yuan before tax!
After earning one million in a day, Lin Han said that he was a little panicked, and the sales were too strong!
Chapter completed!
