Chapter 769

In the United States, there is no regulatory authority to supervise the book rankings, which relies entirely on the credibility of the list producers and the high-level tasting to accumulate influence.

Although the brand of "USA Today" is very loud, many people still trust the New York Times bestseller rankings!

To this day, the old New York Times no longer dominates in this regard. The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and online book retailer Amazon, and the largest offline book retailer, Barno Bookstore, have their own ranking methods and loyal support.

According to the American Nelson Book Monitoring Company, which provides data for the authoritative list, the basis for their production list is directed to cash register records from more than 4,500 retail stores across the United States.

Barnes & Noble Bookstore and other large chain retailers determine the best-selling book rankings based on the sales of retail stores and sales websites.

It is worth mentioning that since the specific algorithms for rankings of each list are not disclosed, the source of the bookstores and dealers selected are also different, and the results of the major best-selling rankings are often very different!

Sometimes, books that are included in the "Top Ten" list on the New York Times ranking may not be included in the USA Today or the Washington Post ranking list.

In fact, it is difficult to have an absolutely accurate list, so what people need to do is to listen to both sides and participate in several different lists.

Generally speaking, the bestseller rankings of newspapers like the above are updated once a week, while large online book retailers like Amazon have real-time updates in real time, and will give more comprehensive annual rankings in the middle and end of the year.

This ranking reflects long-term trends better than the weekly ranking!

There are many factors that affect the popularity of books. The author's reputation and the charm of the work themselves cannot be underestimated. Sometimes it can indeed maintain the popularity of a book's best-selling popularity for several years.

This situation is especially reflected in statistics such as annual rankings that reflect long-term sales data, while in short-term rankings such as monthly and weekly rankings, book ranking updates tend to change more frequently.

Lin Han found three of his own books on the sales list of "USA Today". There is no need to say more about the number one. "Bouquet for Algeron" actually returned to the runner-up position!

In the past week, this science fiction novel released last year actually sold 680,000 copies. If it weren't for the air-taking championship of "The Fall of Hyberian", it would have won the championship again in a year or two!

In other words, Lin Han’s own work hindered its possibility of returning to the championship.

How can this not make people feel sorry for it?

If the old book defeats the new book and wins the championship, the picture will definitely be very beautiful.

The third work in the top ten of the list is "Jurassic Park", which barely ranks ninth.

Anyway, the boarding time was still early, so Lin Han simply searched for the New York Times on the newspaper shelves, which had higher authority.

After seeing this, I suddenly realized that I had massacred all the rankings!

In the New York Times bestseller ranking, four of the top ten virtual book sales belong to Lin Han!

According to the list statistics here, "The Fall of Heberian" sold 1.07 million paper physical books, while the second-place "Bouquet for Algeron" also increased in sales.

The difference is that the book "The Matrix" ranks sixth here, while "Jurassic Park" ranks tenth!

An Oscar ceremony brought back these old books by Lin Han, which was a pretty boy in old age!

Lin Han himself can't remember clearly. This is the time they have returned to the top of the rankings, and their sales momentum is extremely strong!

No wonder the Oscars are so fierce. The movies announced that they will be released, nominated, and won the awards will each stimulate each other. Especially after "The Bouquet of Flowers for Algeron" swept this year's Oscars, it injected a dose of heart-warming agent into the tired global box office.

At the same time, DVD reservations and sales have increased significantly, and the copyright fees requested on TV and website on demand have been much higher!

The Oscar effect is so powerful that it also affects the original novel.

Many people who have watched the movies bought books after they found that the movie was so exciting. Those who have never watched the movies also want to see the true face of Mount Lu after seeing the seven major awards!

The attitude of four books being played together broke the record that has been maintained by American writers for many years. Lin Han didn't expect that this day would come so early!

His previous list was only on some inconspicuous lists. The competition in super markets like this is extremely fierce. It is not easy to win the first and second place, and there are still other works.

In fact, paper books have begun to grow and rebound compared to before. Due to the unabated reading demand for readers and the return of some e-book readers, the total sales of paper books are now trying to regain the dominance!

Since 2011, online retail channels have surpassed physical retail, causing physical retail channels to lose their status as the first channel for American consumers to buy books.

Readers not only buy physical books online, but also buy and download e-books online. About one-quarter of Americans say they can read e-books!

Even the largest offline retail bookstore in the United States, Barno Bookshop, has entered the field of e-book sales, becoming the second largest online book retailer after Amazon last year.

Compared to the suppression of physical books, "Bouquets for Algeron" shows unparalleled combat power on Amazon, surpassing "The Fall of Heberian" on the real-time list!

It is probably because of the difference in the reader group. The number of readers who buy e-books online has chosen the original work of the movie starring Leonardo.

In order to cooperate with the novel promotion, Amazon officially changed the cover of "Bouquets for Algeron" to a poster of the movie, so that the connection is closer!

Penguin Publishing Group also saw the connection and operability. They quickly contacted the copyright of the poster and then asked the artist to recreate the cover and illustrations.

In the printed books, the first version is different from the next version in appearance, which will also make many readers with a collection habit unable to help pay!

So what if I buy it once? At worst, I can buy another one with a different cover. Being rich means being willful!

Lin Han's old books not only encircle new books in the United States, but also return to the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Britain, France and other places, striving to burn out the last drop of energy.

The book sales lists around the world have ushered in a long-lost grand occasion, and the king is the king after all!

Even if someone goes to make a movie, he will still dominate the list when he comes to his senses occasionally!
