Chapter 916: Boss, if you are threatened, just blink?
But no matter what, the combination of the comic version and the online serialization has made the novel "Journey to the West" famous in the online literature world.
In addition to the upcoming physical book, Yang Hongxia also announced through the Earthling Studio that a film and television series of "Journey to the West" is being prepared, which has pushed the popularity of "Journey to the West" to the highest point.
When the physical book of "Journey to the West" was officially released, countless Lin Fan fans flocked to the book, hoping to buy it as soon as possible.
Lin Fan still has a huge number of fans, and "Journey to the West" is the first novel published by Lin Fan, and it may be the last one - mainly because Lin Fan is a lazy guy, and no one knows whether he published the novel on a whim or intends to develop this into a long-term career.
If it was the latter, that would be fine. But if it was the former, fans would all believe that Lin Fan could do something like publishing only one novel in his lifetime.
So if nothing unexpected happens, it's best to buy a copy. Even if you can't understand it, you can keep it at home! Many years later, when you are old, you can still show off to the young people: The idols you chase are much worse than the idols I chased back then. My idol can also write novels in classical Chinese. Can your idol do that?
Just thinking about it is very exciting! So, early in the morning, as soon as the bookstore opened, a large group of Lin Fan's fans rushed in, went straight to the new area, aimed at "Journey to the West", and bought it without even looking at it! Less than an hour after the store opened, the entire row of "Journey to the West" that had just been put on the shelf was sold out. The bookstore owner quickly asked people to take out all the inventory in the warehouse and put it on the bookshelf.
But soon, it was sold out again.
Before the boss had time to check the inventory, he heard fans asking, "Hey? You don't have Journey to the West? Or is it sold out? Why is this bookshelf empty? Restock it!"
The boss quickly replied, "We are still repairing them! We are still repairing them. Don't worry, they will be taken out of the warehouse soon."
Fans can't wait: "Hurry up. Boss, how about this, you just put Journey to the West at the cashier instead of putting it on the shelf, we can just buy it and leave, so we don't have to run inside to find a meal."
The boss said happily: "I didn't expect this book to sell so well."
If I had known this book would be so popular, I would have stocked up more and opened a special section for "Journey to the West"!
"Boss, Journey to the West is here! We'll put it on the bookshelf right away!"
The staff in the store pulled two large boxes of books over on a cart, but as soon as they arrived, they were stopped by people waiting to buy books: "Don't put them on the shelf, just put them here! Boss, I want two!"
"Boss, I want five!"
"Why do you need so many? You can't understand them anyway, so why not just collect one or two?"
"Then who knows if Fanfan will hold a book signing event? If Fanfan suddenly gets the urge to hold one, wouldn't it be a loss if we don't buy enough?"
When everyone heard this, they said, "Huh? That seems to make sense. I'll buy three more!"
“I want ten!”
The bookstore owner stared at this group of fans in amazement. In just a few words, they divided up the two large boxes of books. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed: Are books so easy to sell these days?
This is not the end. Just after seeing off this group of fans, the next group of fans has already stepped into the bookstore: "Boss, do you have "Journey to the West"?"
The bookstore owner checked the inventory and saw the words "out of stock" pop up on the computer. He felt a mixture of emotions: "No more, just sold out."
Fans couldn't help but wail: "Why are they sold out again! This is the nth bookstore, boss, did you buy too little? It's only been a few hours and they're all sold out?"
The bookstore owner really wanted to laugh at that fan and said: Is there not enough stock?
It’s quite a small number, only about 50,000 copies.
This is a number that will not be less no matter where you get it. The bookstore owner only dared to stock so much because Lin Fan is a top star in the entertainment industry, and he was planning to make money from Lin Fan's fans.
But the bookstore owner still underestimated the purchasing power of these fans. A mere 50,000 copies of "Journey to the West" could not satisfy the needs of these fans at all.
What else can you do now? Just place additional orders! After three consecutive additional orders, the bookstore owner finally overcame the enthusiasm of Lin Fan's fans and reserved a portion of "Journey to the West" for his bookstore to fill the bookshelf and enrich the types of books in the store.
Of course, I also have time to sit down and take a good look at this extremely popular "Journey to the West".
At the same time, someone in the bookstore noticed the book, took it down and flipped through it, then said: "Me? This is a novel written in classical Chinese? I can't understand it. A poor student like me should not challenge such a difficult book. Brainless and refreshing novels are my cup of tea."
Then quickly put it back and pretend that you had never read the book.
Of course there were other people who had various reactions.
"Journey to the West? Written in classical Chinese? This author has something good. Let's take a look first."
“Although it’s a bit difficult to read, it’s not completely incomprehensible. At least when it comes to the story line, it’s quite enjoyable to read.”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Write it down first, and then go online to see if there is a modern Chinese version."
"Written by Lin Fan? Is that the Lin Fan who sings really well? Or is it just someone with the same name and surname, and they just wanted to take advantage of the popularity of a celebrity?"
"I checked online, and oh my god, it really is a novel written by that famous star Lin Fan!"
…
On the third day of the release of Journey to the West, a post on Chaobo suddenly went viral: [I recently got a good book and couldn't put it down. I read it for three days straight and finally got the essence of it. The book is called Journey to the West. It cleverly combines good-natured ridicule, biting satire and serious criticism to create literary characters such as Sun Wukong and Tang Monk.
Although it is written in classical Chinese, I still like to call Journey to the West the pinnacle of romanticism in modern novels. In the history of world literature, it is also a masterpiece of romanticism. 】
The person who posted this update was none other than the president of the Chinese Literature and Art Association, the president of Huaxia Imperial Capital University, and a leading figure in the Chinese cultural world. In terms of influence in the cultural world, he claims to be second to none and no one dares to claim to be first.
But such a person has such a high evaluation of the novel "Journey to the West" and even published this evaluation on the Internet. Isn't this too much of a face for Lin Fan?
As a result, netizens couldn't believe their eyes and rushed to the boss's super blog to leave messages:
[Boss, if you are threatened, will you just blink? ]
