Chapter 563 Cultivating Immortals? Fellow
"Dragon Race" once again delivered a satisfactory answer for Li Chungang. According to the statistics of professional authoritative organizations, the sales volume of more than 84.26 million copies on the first day is amazing even among his own published works. Record.
This does not mean that other works are not as good as "Dragon Race" in terms of content quality.
For one thing, when online novels such as "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern" and "Snowy Swordsman" are published as physical books, they will naturally be "shorter" than serious published literature. Because the vast majority of readers have already paid to subscribe to the content on the Longteng Chinese website, and they no longer have the sense of freshness and anticipation, so that most of the readers who buy back have a mentality of supporting the author. Most of them are bought back for collection or given away.
The second is that Li Chungang's personal popularity and word-of-mouth have accumulated all the way up, especially whether it is a year ago or a year later, from time to time he will "do something" and make a big news that goes viral on the Internet, and as time goes by People who know him, understand him, and like him are accumulating more and more.
It can be said that "Dragon Race" can achieve this first-day sales performance, which is also the best embodiment of his accumulation!
But to put it bluntly, the sale of physical books is actually a one-off sale. It is already very good for readers to have one book per person. It is not a problem for some wealthy people to have two books, but this is almost the ceiling of sales. The upper limit is reached, and it can be foreseen that after the first wave of buying subsides, the subsequent daily sales will gradually decline until it becomes a regular commodity on the shelves of major bookstores.
The sales of more than 80 million yuan on the first day does not mean that the book "Dragon Race" has reached its full potential. It is just that Man Jinghua Publishing Company's first printing is insufficient, and the printing factory's production capacity is limited. Only this data can come out.
It's as if a student with excellent grades got a score of "100" in an exam, and felt complacent just like the Xueba who took the "100" score, so he came to Xueba's side and showed off incomparably proudly: "Oh ~ This time I played normally and got a full score in the test, just like someone!"
Such obvious words, coupled with the mocking tone and smug expression, anyone who is not a fool can tell who this so-and-so is referring to.
However, after this "Versailles" was done, he unhurriedly folded the 100-point test paper in his hand and stuffed it in half into a drawer. You can get 100 points in the test because your level can be tested, and I can get 100 points in the test because there are only 100 points in the test paper!"
The voice just fell.
The student who was still complacent in the last second instantly petrified on the spot, and then a crack slowly appeared from the middle of the Tianling Cap,
Gradually expand downwards until completely...cracked!
And in the next few days, just as the publishers and sales channel dealers expected, the sales of "Dragon Race" not only did not drop from a high platform with time, but gave people a feeling of astonishing endurance. The daily sales volume is as stable as an old dog, and it is not empty at all!
More than 80 million on the first day.
On the second day, it managed to break through 100 million.
On the third day, it dropped slightly by more than 1.94 million.
On the fourth day, the fifth day remained stable.
…
When Manjinghua Publishing Company and Wensiquanyong Company were celebrating the sales of "Dragon Race" breaking 500 million and 100,000, the person concerned was sitting in front of the computer and looking at the document in front of him with some confusion.
The story of the book "The Lord of the Rings" has come to the end of the third part, but Li Chungang feels that no matter whether it is the Chinese version or the original English version that he has read, the ending does not have the kind of touching and heartbreaking sense of tragedy !
If this last "Ending" ending plot is handled well, it will definitely become a classic that will be remembered by readers.
If it was the former Li Chungang, he would probably have written it out according to the content in his mind without hesitation at this time, but after he has accumulated more than ten million words of literary creation, he has gradually absorbed various kinds of writing from it. All kinds of "knowledge", and integrate these knowledge into their own things.
So much so that when he wrote the end of the original text, he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart, especially when he went back and read this part of the content repeatedly after he finished writing, he realized that it was even more wrong!
The end of a book should be the sublimation point of the whole text.
He didn't want to regret that when he saw the book "Lord of the Rings" many years later, why he didn't strive for perfection when he wrote it. I discovered the problem and thought I had the ability to make it better. If I chose to ignore it, I would have no chance to do it again.
What is tested here is not the plot structure and layout ability, nor the vivid characterization of the characters, but the emotional resonance of the text at the end, which makes readers feel "recognized" for this ending.
Some writers are good at using incomparably gorgeous rhetoric, but they can't give readers a sense of brilliance and variety. It's just that gold and jade are scattered in it, and they can't move people's emotions at all.

And Li Chungang does not want to become such an author himself. Although every work he has created so far does not have the exact same type, he hopes that he can learn from it——
Let your words change as you wish, simple and sincere when it should be simple and sincere, gorgeous and gorgeous when it should be gorgeous, no matter what kind of writing you use under any circumstances!
Li Chungang's original intention was not to let the pearl of "The Lord of the Rings" be dusted, and he didn't want a work that was enough to leave a strong mark in the history of fantasy literature to be ruined by himself, so he had already written it at the end of the May Day holiday. The content at the end is still repeatedly reviewed and revised today!
Due to personal habits, the English version has not been changed for the time being. After he completes the modification and confirmation of the content of the Chinese version, he can translate it synchronously, so as to save himself from doing useless work after translating it now.
And Random House didn't mean to urge at all, as long as the final delivery date didn't affect the "plan" that Caitlin made.
"It's been a while since I've seriously cultivated immortals, so I've decided so happily!"
Thinking that tomorrow is the weekend, based on the principle that inspiration will always come out if you squeeze hard like when you go to the toilet, Li Chungang decided to use the most stupid and practical method, which is to spend a lot of time to boil , It will be no problem to boil the ugly daughter-in-law into a mother-in-law.
