Chapter 46

(It's the new week soon. Please recommend votes and collections during the new book~~)

The huge publicity can be said to be quite eye-catching. "Science Fiction World" teamed up with Renmin University Press, Douban Reading and Chen Jiaxuan Studio to work together to make the publicity of a niche book known to everyone.

Many people originally didn’t know about this book, but now they often see such news. After posting, they can’t help but keep the title in mind. Even if they can’t buy it now, there are always a few people who will go to the bookstore to ask.

"I, Robot", which is scheduled to be sold nationwide on New Year's Day, is the hottest novel in recent times. Many people are wondering what kind of novel it is. Is it said that the protagonist is a robot?

Although there are few science fiction novels with robots as the protagonists, there are not none. Why can this book be called epoch-making? What are the three laws of robots that have been repeatedly promoted?

Science fiction fans can be said to be confused. They have read so many books themselves, but why have they never known where the three major laws of robots appeared? Could it be that they were originally created by the author?

This huge publicity also made other science fiction writers and fans extremely dissatisfied. What is one of the best science fiction in history and what is the best science fiction novel in recent years? Are you worthy of it?

They were holding on to the urge to wait for the novel to be released and started to squirt. A newcomer was so arrogant and even an epoch-making work. Why don’t you go to heaven?

No matter what outsiders comment, time quietly comes to the release of the new issue of "Science Fiction World". Those readers whose appetites are stolen can't wait to rush to the newsstand and bookstores to rush to buy.

With the hot situation last month, the staff of the Operations Department had already prepared and printed one million copies in large quantities, and then quickly bought them all by dealers.

This is a gambling game. If you succeed, the sales of this issue of magazines will exceed one million mark, helping "Science Fiction World" win the title of a best-selling magazine, thereby significantly increasing advertising revenue in 2017.

If it fails, it means that tens of thousands or even more than one hundred thousand magazines may be recycled and scrapped, which will affect its position in the hearts of dealers.

For those dealers, only the magazines that are sold are good, and magazines that cannot be sold are useless.

The intensive advertising bombing has already made readers wait for a long time. Many of them have obtained this issue of "Science Fiction World" with an expectant and questioning attitude, and then can't wait to read it.

The well-stocked newsstand has almost witnessed the best-selling of "Science Fiction World". A thick stack of magazines that were originally delivered at around 5 a.m. have gradually become thinner, and the sales speed is far beyond imagination.

This is even faster than some magazines with a total sales volume of 20 to 3 million copies. Even readers or soulmates, Yilin, a magazine that has been sold well for 10 or 20 years, did not sell so fast on the first day. They mainly rely on long-term sales and sell slowly for a whole month.

Although the sales volume of "Science Fiction World" is not as good as them, it is even more explosive on the first day. This is the advantage of the niche. Readers have strong loyalty and cohesion, and they often go to buy it on the first day of sales.

This is somewhat similar to the box office composition of fan movies. Some movies often have an astonishing amount on the first day. Fans will consume the power they have accumulated for a long time on the first day, and the sales will decrease and decrease in the remaining time.

Not only is the sales speed of paper-based magazines increasing rapidly in reality, but the number of genuine paid downloads on the Internet is also amazing. More than 110,000 people have purchased genuine editions in less than 24 hours!

This number is much stronger than the science fiction world in the previous issue. Although the total sales volume in that issue was ahead, it was a word-of-mouth fermentation type, and it did not explode on the first day.

The 110,000 paid downloads have just reached the 15th place in the weekly sales list because it is already the weekend. As long as the list is refreshed next Monday, it will not be a problem to become an air-to-win champion.

So, something magical happened to science fiction novels. On the Douban Reading Weekly Sales List, two magazines actually entered the top fifteen!

The November issue ranked 11th with a weekly sales of 190,000, which is already the fourth week of its list. Thanks to the reputation of the article "Rural Teacher", after reprinting many magazines, the total sales of the electronic version of "Science Fiction World" in November's issue is approaching the 1 million copies, which is exactly the basic threshold for the top ten in the total sales list.

The same magazine, a month later, actually topped the weekly sales list at the same time. This is something that Douban Reading has never happened. Even those top magazines cannot do, but a niche science fiction magazine did it.

If this is "The Sound of the Heart" or "Readers", the media will not be shocked at all. That is what it should be, but this happened to "Science Fiction World", so the audience cannot be shocked.

Could it be that the golden age of science fiction novels is coming? Science fiction magazines with such good sales have been counterattacked, stunning the attention of industry people and enhancing the confidence of the people in charge of Renmin University Press.

Good sales are naturally accompanied by good reputation. Readers who have read the preface of the novel "I, Robot" and the first chapter have expressed their opinions online and in reality.

"After opening the catalog, I saw "I, Robot". The three robot laws at the beginning shocked me deeply. This TM is so incisive. I think it's perfect. If there is such a law, am I still worried about the robot's rebellion?"

"The story is very novel. I thought the protagonist was a robot. I didn't expect that he spoke in an interview tone. The protagonist Susan is actually a robot psychologist, robots and psychology. My first idea is that it is too funny. But this is very interesting. What is the robot thinking in his mind, so it attracted me to continue reading. The only disadvantage is that it is too short. This actually needs to be serialized for the next 8 issues, which will torture me to death!"

"It's so cool! I can't find any words to describe this novel. In fact, the content is relatively simple, but the three rules of robots that are bold in bold in bold make me dizzy. The robot can still set this way. It seems that the robot should have been like this. The author is so great. I can't wait to see the following text. I heard that the whole book was sold on New Year's Day, so I have to go to Xinhua Bookstore early to avoid being stolen."

"The writing style is average and the story is first-class, but the domineering rule of opening the book makes me think this is probably the best setting ever. We have always used the settings and ideas of foreign science fiction novelists. Now we have the opportunity to spread the settings of our local science fiction artists. I must post this to American netizens."

"It's such a trick to publish such content in one issue of the magazine! The most important thing is that I actually fell into it. Isn't this temptation to buy the simplified version? Fortunately, I will only need a few days to buy it."

"At first I thought the online publicity was too exaggerated, and there were successors in the science fiction world, which was a bullshit epoch-making, but when I saw this, I wanted to take back my thoughts. God, this is an article written by a newcomer in the science fiction world, and I think it may continue to be passed down in the next few decades."

"Robots cannot harm humans, they cannot watch humans be hurt, they must obey human commands, and protect their own safety. One after another, my mind is almost blurred, and I have to think about it carefully."
