Chapter 911: One Million Copies

Entertainment media has no so-called absolute position on artists. If you can bring enough gimmicks to it, then the position of the media is you.

Positive and negative, there is no necessary value for the media, no matter how big the star is, if you, Chen Hao, are criticized on the Internet, we will repost it crazily, and many people will pay attention to it, and our news will have its corresponding value. You, Chen Hao, led the new movie promotion conference with many laughs and selling points, and we will also use a lot of words to exaggerate it, and don’t mind helping you promote new movies and new books when you get attention.

The novel of the same name in the movie "Youth" has already been printed. According to Chen Hao’s initial verbal agreement with Xiao Gangpao, he can release the novel very early, and no one will have any objection to the original author publishing the novel.

When "Youth" is about to be released, Chen Hao also feels that there will be a win-win situation in comparison. After this promotion conference, the novel "Youth" was officially distributed nationwide ten days before the movie was released. It was distributed in all bookstores in third- and fourth-tier cities. It was not pre-ordered on the Internet, but directly on major book websites and shopping websites.

The first print run, 100,000 copies.

This is the publisher's trust in Chen Hao. 50,000 yuan is placed online, and 50,000 yuan is distributed to physical bookstores.

The publicity offensive complements each other. With Huayi's capital in the domestic film and television industry, it is not stressful to operate "Youth" to achieve the best results. Chen Hao's novels are not simply consumables in this period.

Eight hours after the online sales started, 50,000 copies were sold out. After receiving the news, the publisher started working as quickly as possible and printed overtime without considering the sales of physical stores. With the hot sales on the Internet, the physical stores will not be too bad.

Within a few hours, calls from agents from all over the country called the publisher, and many bookstores reported that the novel "Youth" was sold out within half an hour of being put on the shelves. At present, many bookstores have accepted advance payment reservations requested by customers themselves.

The second printing of 200,000 copies was filled in batches to physical bookstores as quickly as possible. After the first batch of 80,000 copies were shipped, the second batch of 50,000 copies continued to be sold online. With the market, there is a voice. Chen Hao's agent team has requirements for online and physical sales, and no price increase is allowed. For this reason, Chen Hao paid the price by publicly announcing the name of the publishing house on his Weibo, Lele account and Facebook to maintain the status of genuine products, so as to officially promote and avoid the loss of purchasing power to the inevitable pirated books. It can also be regarded as a kind of behavior he gave back to the publishing house.

In three days, and five days in slightly more distant areas, the second printing of the novel "Youth" on the Internet and physical stores was sold out again. For a while, the media reported very intensively on this, and comments on the Internet were endless.

Novels can be extended to many more different perspectives than film and television dramas. No matter how good a novel is, it is impossible to be loved by all readers. There will always be some people who put forward some arguments that you cannot refute, and then question the success of your novel.

The media always wants the hottest attention points. Positive and negative are not important. What matters is that people pay attention to it. If someone pays attention to it, they will still report it crazily and without hesitation, even if they think the news is of no value.

After three printings and another 100,000 copies, the publisher did not dare to take risks again. With their understanding of the market, this is almost saturated. As a result, the printing of 100,000 copies was once again scolded by the majority of fans on the Internet. They continued to work overtime to start the fourth printing. Is "Youth" really that good?

It was still professional critics who gave the answer. The novel "Youth" is too sharp and cruel, and the writing style is also very cold. Some places will make people shudder, and they will not be able to accept some of the values ​​and stories in it. It is not the type that makes you love it after reading it all the way. Many girls put it down after reading it for a long time and felt that they couldn't read it anymore. After reading it again several times, they will feel inexplicably sad. It is not the kind of plot that makes you cry and move you to tears.

If I have to describe the feeling of reading this book in one sentence, after a long time of selection, I found that the sentence in the promotion is really appropriate: "We wasted our time in the best era, and they washed away their glitz in the worst era."

I felt that I couldn't read it the first time, but it was quite smooth the second time. Some of the characteristics of the characters can be seen clearly. Some people feel sorry for Liu Feng and scold Lin Dingding. This is the subconscious psychological suggestion of watching film and television novels, and consider the problem from the perspective of the protagonist.

Then Lin Dingding rejected Liu Feng and asked Liu Feng to leave the art troupe. He Xiaoping saw Xiao Suizi saying "I will never forgive her in my life" when she was rescuing him on the battlefield. This is also the true inner thought of many viewers.

This idea is the reason why the novel "Youth" can be so popular as analyzed by the media-Chen Hao's personal charm is too great, and it is probably because of him that Haomen fans bought this novel.

In the end, it doesn’t even matter what the novel is about. The key is that the author’s signature is Chen Hao. This is the fundamental reason why the novel can sell like crazy. His personal influence overrides the novel itself. Such a deformed state makes many people who claim to be literati feel that the era of culture is gone. Look at the hot-selling novels now, either celebrity autobiographies, success stories, or chicken soup for the soul.

A long sigh!

Nothing else to say.

In China, the novel "Youth" sold millions of copies when the movie was officially released. On the day of the premiere, Chen Hao also held a small-scale signing event in a large bookstore in Yanjing. The signing event was forced to be cancelled before it started. Tens of thousands of fans gathered, and the security arrangements for the event were obviously insufficient. It was better to disperse and cancel it than to take the risk of holding it. It was better to be scolded than to have any accidents. With so many people, any accident would cause an irreparable major accident.

Chen Hao slammed the table on the spot at the time, completely ignoring the media's filming of himself, and was furious. He scolded the organizers, regardless of what publishing house or cultural institution you were, who you loved, and was completely furious. He cursed directly on the spot.

"Youth" is about to be released, and "Prison Break" is also about to land. What we are talking about these days is synchronization. Even if there is no TV station here to take over, Lele is also ready to take over the whole thing. If an episode is broadcast in the United States, Lele will produce a subtitled version as quickly as possible and then broadcast it on Lele's official channel.

Since Chen Hao had not been in China for a while, he had been busy in the United States since the awards season. He also filmed "Prison Break" and will soon film "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". Many domestic affairs were suppressed or simply rejected. When he came back, within three days, the office dedicated to him was filled with invitations, from institutional invitations to charity invitations to commercial activities, and there were also a large number of invitations to compilation concerts with sky-high prices, as well as a large number of film and television scripts.

Privately, various invitations are also endless. In addition to balancing work, Chen Hao has to accept some interpersonal relationship consolidation. He didn't care too much about the autograph signing. According to his idea, I will go there, no matter how many people there are, I will try my best to sign, even if it takes a day. So many people support me. The premiere is at 7 pm and the autograph session is at 10 am. He is mentally prepared for these nine hours and doesn't plan to leave himself a second.

When he arrived at the scene, he had prepared several pens for signing, but the event was cancelled before it started. If it were another artist, he would probably just vent his anger in a small range, and then think about how to explain to the fans outside. Chen Hao didn't think so much. In his heart, fans gave him too much. He just didn't have the ability to satisfy everyone, otherwise he would definitely satisfy every fan who supported him.

There were more than a dozen media at the scene. Chen Hao slammed the table and didn't give face to anyone. The relevant departments felt that there was danger and forced to cancel the event and disperse the crowd outside. This was an official job that no one could resist. Chen Hao was angry about the organizer's contempt for this matter. More than 10,000 people could have done better. I don't care about sitting for nine hours. Why don't you prepare well in advance?

Not only the organizer, this time even the team and Qiu Yu arranged by the company were all scolded. The media reporters' eyes were wide open. This was big news. Haozi was furious at the signing event and didn't mean to avoid the media at all. They adjusted the camera one by one to shoot these pictures at the clearest angle.

"Can we cooperate? If not, just say it. What the hell is this?"

"And you guys, what are you doing? This matter has made them like this. Can you still do it? If not, get out of here. I'll replace you with a group of people."

"Why are you still standing here? Is it useful to stand here?"

Chen Hao walked away with a cold face. Basically, he would not give the media a bad look. This time, he did not care and left with a cold face.

"Give me your phone. I will start a live broadcast to apologize to everyone."

At this time, Lele's advantage was reflected. When other stars encountered such things before, they could not explain to fans immediately in such a convenient way. The fans outside were already full of resentment. Facing the dispersal, they would not resist without some unpleasant words. It was almost noon in late April, and the streets of Yanjing were also very hot. Waiting here under the sun, everyone was ready to queue for several hours, just to see Haozi get a book signed by him up close.

"Haozi is on air."

"Haozi is on air."

The function of Lele APP is reminder mode. In order to prevent people from missing the live broadcast of their favorite anchors, after you set the live broadcast reminder, you can get a function similar to an alarm clock and push. You can also adjust it to vibration or silent mode during working hours, and a message similar to push will be sent to your mobile phone, so that you will not miss the live broadcast reminder in many ways.

As a fan of Haomen, as a fan who likes Haozi, downloading Lele and setting a notification reminder for his live broadcast is the basic operation.
