Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 960

"Advocate for the Dead" is certainly not hard science fiction. Compared with the first "Ender's Game", this sequel explores more philosophical issues about human nature.

In the second part, the thinking about different civilizations elicited by the first part is continued.

In the beginning, when humans discovered the piggies, in order to make up for past mistakes and conduct scientific research, not only did they not invade the piggies, they even protected them in every possible way.

But once humans find that the pig clan is a threat to the human race, they immediately reveal their true colors and show their cruel side, wanting to eliminate the pig clan. Fortunately, through the efforts of the protagonist, the crisis of the pig clan is finally resolved.

Such a plot can be said to be an imagination of the future, or a reflection on the past.

When the American continent was invaded, it was somewhat similar to the situation described in the book, in which advanced civilizations discovered backward civilizations.

In reality, backward civilizations were slaughtered, but in the book some changes were made.

This change is based on the huge gap that exists between the two civilizations.

Just like today, humans are still protecting all kinds of rare animals. Why do they protect them? Is it just because they are rare in number? The most important reason is that those animals do not pose a threat to humans.

Once threatened, humans might not hesitate to raise a shotgun.

It doesn't even have to be a threat, just the possibility of it.

Of course, as with any book, some people like this deeper discussion and some people don't.

In particular, the image of Ander in the sequel is a bit tall and complete, which makes many people dislike it.

There are also some people who can't accept the racial equality promoted in the book at all, and feel that it is stinky and long.

Again, everyone has their own opinions and preferences when reading a book, there is no need to force or abuse.Watch it if you like it, and leave if you don't like it, so that everyone can save time.

As soon as the news of the release of "The Advocate of the Dead" came out, the sales of "Cat City Tale" also increased.

Recently, because there are a lot of news related to Zhang Zhong, both Zhang Zhong's book and the movie adapted from the book have received more attention.

In addition, Zhang Zhong now has more and more books, and his personal book sales are maintained at a very high level every day.

……

"You can figure it out, I have no opinion on this matter."

The day after the news of the release of "The Advocate of the Dead" was announced, Xu Yang called Zhang Zhong.

Xu Yang's phone call meant that he had a plan to report to Zhang Zhong.

Because Zhang Zhong's popularity has continued to rise recently, and his daily personal book sales have been maintained at a very high number, Xu Yang has moved his mind and wants to organize a wave of big activities to compare Zhang Zhong's personal single-day book sales with Go up.

If Zhang Zhong agrees, Xu Yang will launch a series of promotional activities from now on.

By the 23rd of next month, with various promotional activities and new book releases, Zhang Zhong's personal book sales in a single day will reach an astonishing number.

After listening to Xu Yang's general plan, Zhang Zhong said yes.

Zhang Zhong himself is not very interested in this personal single-day book sales, but since Xu Yang has an idea, and this matter has only advantages and no disadvantages, he can completely let him do it as much as he wants.

Hearing Zhang Zhong's reply, Xu Yang cheered up, "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down this time. If your personal book sales in a single day do not exceed [-] million this time, I will take the blame."

One hundred million, I have to say, Xu Yang is really proud of it.

The [-] million that Xu Yang said is of course not the sales of [-] million Huaxia coins, because [-] million Huaxia coins is not a high sales volume, basically Zhang Zhong will not fall below this figure every day.

He must be talking about selling [-] million copies.

[-] million books were sold in a day, which is a very scary figure, because on average, the whole world cannot sell so many novels every day, but now Zhang Zhong has to sell such a novel by himself.

Even Zhang Zhong is very difficult.

"Don't issue military orders indiscriminately. It's a good thing to set a goal, but you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. There are also many things in the company, so there is no need to spend all your energy on this one thing." Zhang Zhong reminded One sentence.

Xu Yang said with a smile, "This is our company's top priority, and I must do it well."

Hearing what Xu Yang said, Zhang Zhong didn't attack his self-confidence anymore, but just nodded and said, "You just need to control yourself."

In fact, Xu Yang felt that Zhang Zhong was a little too conservative. According to the current data analysis, Zhang Zhong's personal book sales record is still very sure to break through [-] million.

By next month, "Cat City Tale" is still in the new book stage, and the sales volume will not be low. With a wave of publicity, it should be no problem to sell 1000 million copies that day.

And when "The Speaker of the Dead" comes out that day, sales should reach 2000 million.

At that time, these two books will add up to more than 3000 million copies.

In addition, other old books usually sell about 1000 million copies a day, which adds up to 4000 million.

With this 4000 million minimum guarantee, plus a wave of vigorous publicity, and then the company will launch a few more powerful activities, the sales of [-] million should be no problem.

Xu Yang's promotional activities will come out soon.

The first event is a bundled event. On the 23rd of next month, the publishing house will release a collection of editions, which includes all of Zhang Zhong's books.

And if you buy the Collector's Edition set, it is possible to get a signed book.

According to the information released by [-] Chinese website, there is one signed book in every fifty collections of books.

The cover of the collector's edition will have a time mark, and the style of the cover is uniform, which has a certain collection value.

The most important thing is that the price of this set of books is not expensive, only more than 2000 for a set.

Some people may think that more than 2000 is a bit expensive, but Zhang Zhong has published more than 40 books so far, and each of these book lists costs tens of dollars.

It may be more cost-effective to buy a collector's edition.

The only downside is that most people actually own some of these books, and some even own all of Zhang Zhong's books, but they will still spend another share of the money for the collector's edition.

Collector's edition, special edition... This kind of thing often happens in the publishing industry, and Zhang Zhong didn't use these because of the good sales.

Moreover, more than 2000 Huaxia coins are still the price in Huaxia, and it will definitely be more expensive in North America and Europe.

As long as 100 million copies of this collector's edition can be sold, it will be equivalent to more than 4000 million copies of Zhang Zhong's book sales, which is indeed a good strategy.
