Although "The Lord of the Rings" has not been published yet, it has almost been confirmed that the Da Vinci Code can be pulled down from the New York Times bestseller rankings.

Because its pre-sale figures have exceeded the sales of "Da Vinci Code" this week.

Driven by new books, it is normal for old books to increase sales.

But "The Da Vinci Code" is in a desperate situation. It has completed its own mission and passed the handover baton of the relay race.

This year, Drake continued to win the Billboard Hot Singles chart in the US music market, and Zhang Chu kept winning the championship in the New York Times bestseller rankings, so netizens were curious, who had more championships in these two people?

Logically speaking, the speed of publishing songs is much faster than publishing books.

There are more than ten songs in a single album, but there is only one book in a single book, and it is impossible to take out each chapter separately.

The cancer on the two list depends on who will be dragged down first!

These are two completely different areas. You can't confuse them, but there are always bored people waiting to watch the fun.

Random House is a truly giant, while Amazon, the largest shopping platform in the United States, has taken on half of the online pre-sale orders.

Various bookstores have also opened pre-sale channels in physical stores and official websites, and even supermarket chains are making reservations.

The sales difference between Walmart does not seem to be high-end, but it is truly for ordinary people.

The sales of the audio and video areas and library areas inside have always been very good, and sometimes it even affects the performance of the list!

Those who can enter Wal-Mart sell all the down-to-earth books, which will not have too professional content, nor will they be cold and difficult to understand.

Among the works translated into English, only "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" was not stuffed in, because only relevant personnel can read this work on the history of a dynasty in the far east, and it is enough to put it in the library.

His Ring was highly recommended by Random Bookstore, and almost all the publicity and channel resources are used here.

Even though Random House has no copyright at all, they still kindly helped Zhang Chu to push into Hollywood and see which company is willing to buy the copyright.

Of course, this is not because they are naturally enthusiastic, but because the issuance agreement signed by Zhang Chu stipulates that they have a full 10-year right to publish and sell.

Once the work is adapted into a film and television, the sales of the book will be strongly affected, thus reaching the peak!

Now "Pi's Fantasy Drift" and "The Da Vinci Code" have been in good sales momentum before it was released. If the movie is released, Zhang Chu's book can even increase the sales of the entire genre!

This is by no means a big deal.

In the comprehensive report on the book market released by the American Publishing Association, adult fiction works have decreased compared with the same period last year, of which 12 million classical novels sold, a year-on-year decrease of 11%; religious novels sold only 6.5 million copies, a year-on-year decrease of 50%; fantasy novels 10.4 million copies, a slight increase of 8%; science fiction novels 11.5 million copies, a year-on-year decrease of 6%.

In addition, adventures, western novels, picture books, romantic novels, and popular novels are all falling!

But there is only one category that is rising against the trend, that is suspense reasoning.

This type of work sold 15 million copies in the first four months, second only to popular novels in terms of total sales, and is even higher than romantic novels!

Americans really like to read works with suspense and thriller styles. Several kings of the book sales industry were born from this genre, such as Stephen King and James Patterson in their previous lives.

In the past few months, none of the great kings have released new works, and sales should have declined.

But the works in this category have increased instead of decreasing!

Because the book "The Da Vinci Code" sold more than 3.5 million copies in these three months, and it also led to the emergence of many similar works.

What is "The Code of Sherlock Holmes", "The Last Templar", "The Babylonian Plan", and "Darwin Gene" came into being. With the big brother leading the way, these crude imitators have also achieved good sales.

The National Publishing Association of America attributes the miraculous rise in this category to Zhang Chu, which is not the news published by Random Bookstore itself!

There is no problem saying that he turns the tide. His monthly sales are close to one million. If this number can be maintained for one year, it will definitely win the annual championship.

What's more, Disney has finished filming the movie of the same name. If it can be released this year, it may be sold for two or even three million in the month it will be released!

The market is very broad, and it even has the appeal of breaking the genre of work.

People who don’t like to read suspense and reasoning will also like this work.

Now "The Lord of the Rings" is coming in full force, and the reservation volume continues to rise. The prediction agencies have raised the prediction numbers again and again, which can be said to have created a lot of exposure for them.

In the past, I usually only made two predictions, before and after publicity, but now I am sending brand new predictions outside almost every day!

Zhang Chu was separated by a Pacific Ocean, making the American book market chaotic.

Many people don’t like this kind of cross-border territorial behavior. They regard these sales as their own things, and now they have been occupied by an alien writer, and they are all filled with indignation!

If it is the UK, Canada, Australia and other countries, they are basically from the English department and have a good relationship with each other.

But Zhang Chu is a Chinese, telling the story of a Chinese guiding the descendants of Jesus. Even writers who pay attention to political correctness can't help but want to pick on them.

What's more, this guy has never been involved in the American literary world, and has no familiar friends there. He can be said to be isolated and helpless, and there is not even a person to help speak.

Everyone is brewing, waiting for the content of his new book "The Lord of the Rings"!

If the protagonist of "The Lord of the Rings" is still Chinese, then these American writers can certainly take the opportunity to operate. It is impossible to engage in racial discrimination on the contrary, but simply triggering the xenophobic mentality of the American people is not difficult.

Many media have promoted that the United States is the most inclusive country in the world, and that inclusiveness is only relative, but in fact it is very xenophobic in its bones.

If Zhang Chu can be excluded by the public, then the subsequent works will obviously not be able to have any sales miracle.

This group of people thinks very beautifully, but they don’t even ask about the specific content of "The Lord of the Rings"!

The book has not been launched, and many staff members in Random Bookstore have read its contents. As long as you are interested in asking, you will always gain.

It depends on whether anyone has thought of this point.
