Sales statistics in the US book market mainly come from four channels, namely bookscan (paper books) and pubtrack-digital (e-book statistics), as well as income from the American Publishers Association and authors.

Bookscan only tracks paper books, and its data comes from book retail outlets, including but not limited to actual sales in physical bookstores, online bookstores, large supermarkets, book clubs and other places.

It tracks hundreds of thousands of book numbers every week, covering more than 90% of the sales of paper books in the United States. It has a very high statistical coverage, is time-sensitive, and can fully reflect the actual market conditions. It is well known to the industry.

The author's income mainly involves catching book information from online bookstores, such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble Bookstore, Apple, Google, Kebo and other places, and tracking the daily real-time sales data of millions of paper books, e-books, and audio books in various online bookstores in the United States!

These two statistics complement each other and can basically reflect market sales conditions clearly and accurately.

In terms of sales statistics last week, even though everyone was mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the results.

Zhang Chu, a Chinese writer, came in full force and directly suppressed the hot-selling master on paper books!

"The Da Vinci Code" sold 2.8 million copies last week, while "The Falling Giant" only sold 1.5 million copies. "The Legend of Jobs", which ranked third, only sold 600,000 copies, which was a huge gap!

These three works are all famous types. The two most asked questions by the clerks in bookstores are "Do you have any Da Vinci passwords here?" and "What other works are the same as Da Vinci passwords?"

In terms of e-book statistics, "Da Vinci Code" is still far ahead, with a total of 1.2 million e-books sold in various e-book sales channels in the United States!

So when the New York Times bestseller rankings were released, the Da Vinci Code, which sold 4 million a week, jumped into everyone's eyes and shocked them.

It's simply dazzling!

The relevant personnel at Random House were surprised, let alone the rest of the people.

Blair laughed loudly in his office, keeping the clouds clear and the moon bright!

After so long, a popular book has finally been released.

The United States alone sold 4 million copies. If it was included in the world, what could that be?

"It's incredible. Although I knew from the beginning that the sales of "Da Vinci Code" would be very good, I didn't expect it to be so explosive."

"Yes, Blair really found the treasure!"

"It seems that the type of works such as religion, decryption and suspense should take the opportunity to become popular. We should hurry up and see if we can release a few books."

"The Vatican knows that it has had a counter-effect. I guess the Archbishop is so angry that he wants to vomit blood."

"No wonder I can enjoy such good treatment. The leaders of the company really have vision!"

"It's impossible. Isn't the sales of 4 million copies in a single week like those of the top writers? Even Stephen King's appeal is not at this first-week level now."

The company is talking about this work everywhere. As the book publishing environment gradually declines, a foreign writer has achieved such a terrifying result under the pursuit of the American people.

JK Rowling's "Occasional Vacancy" and "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts Going" were both beaten by this data. Unless she released another "Harry Potter", she would really not be as good as Zhang Chu!

What is the sales level of 4 million copies?

"Pi's Fantasy Drift" has been on the best-selling list many times, but it only lasts 2 million copies in a year!

Blair thinks "The Da Vinci Code" is definitely not the kind of work that has high sales in the first week but has disappeared the next week. This kind of work will become more and more innovative with discussion and public opinion.

Perhaps the global sales record of a single novel can be imagined. Selling 40 to 50 million copies under the accumulation of time is not a fantasy, but a real and promising one!

...

["Da Vinci Code" is a big hit worldwide, and sales in Britain, France and the United States have all broken the sales records of Asian writers!]

[Global sales of over 7 million in a single week, Zhang Chu set a magical number!]

[New York Times bestseller list was announced, "The Da Vinci Code" defeated "The Fall of the Giant" and "The Legend of Jobs", and reached the top without any suspense!]

[The Louvre Museum announced the number of tourists last week, an increase of nearly 50% year-on-year, and a large number of tourists are all coming from novels.]

[Zhang Chu swept the world, Da Vinci's password is infinitely charming!]

[The strongest bestseller was born! "The Da Vinci Code" sold nearly 10 million in the first week, and it caught up with the "Harry Potter" series!]

[Global book sales announced, "Da Vinci Code" is expected to become the world's annual book sales champion.]

[The light of the Chinese people! Zhang Chu lets the world see the figure of Chinese writers!]

The sales of nearly 10 million people in a single week almost shocked the domestic media. Zhang Chu, who has an overseas market, burst out with infinite power. Almost every market has amazing sales, and there are no blind spots in the world!

Even in countries such as Spain, Italy, Germany, South Korea, and Japan, because their language versions are still being translated, readers who can't wait to buy a large number of English novels through the Internet, wanting to have a sneak peek.

Although mosquitoes are small, they are still meat. These countries have scattered and provided sales of almost one million copies, but e-books are the main ones.

From CCTV Xinhua News Agency to WeChat, all kinds of public accounts, forums, Weibo, and almost everyone is attracted by the numbers of "Da Vinci Code".

The first week sales of nearly 10 million were not rounded, but were real!

This is the result of many small countries not reporting data. If the numbers in each region of the world are fully counted, it will definitely be safe.

"Brother, please accept my knees!" An Mi said in an exaggerated manner. He had just read a bunch of news titles, and now he has no other thoughts except worshiping him.

Sun Ruiqi looked up and down at Zhang Chu and sighed: "You don't have one more head or one hand than us. The difference is too big."

"I actually have a delicate heart with seven orifices. Do you believe it or not?"

To be honest, Zhang Chu was also frightened by the sales figures. He didn't know how Dan Brown sold the first week of the release of "Da Vinci Code" in his previous life, but he definitely did not have as much sales as he did this time.

Yang Ling stretched out his hand and touched Zhang Chu's arm twice. The gay behavior in gay made the rest of them stunned.

Zhang Chu asked suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

"Don't talk, let me suck my spirit. It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. With a super god like you, maybe I can become a god."

An Mi's eyes lit up instantly, she stretched out her hand and laughed twice, then reached towards Zhang Chu.

"Pa", "Pa", "Pa"

Zhang Chu directly put his hands on these two friends, and he couldn't find a girlfriend at all. If someone saw this scene, wouldn't it make his reputation ruined forever?

He didn't touch his spirit, but he was beaten on the back of his hand. An Mi sighed deliberately: "It's amazing that great god. We were holding our arms and shoulders, but now you turn against us. Alas, human hearts are not old!"

"I am a master of my own? I just write books to make money to buy a villa for Matcha." Zhang Chu has always been very conscious. He is currently in the stage of copying the article. If he can still be so powerful after writing an original novel one day, it will be almost the same.

The rest of the people obviously couldn't know Zhang Chu's inner world, and they thought Zhang Chu was modest!

But being too modest will turn into a pretentious person.

"Speaking of this, you are already top in China. "The Da Vinci Code" has made you become a god in the United States. After all, you are now considered a god-killing and slaughtering gods."

No matter where the market is, a new best-selling writer must surpass the old masters to be truly recognized when it is born!

Now Zhang Chu's new book sales far exceed "The Fall of a Giant", and millions of readers express their support with practical actions.

"This is the proof of the God-Slaying God. It's already reprinted. It's already terrifying to be able to sell so many books after reprinting. If my reprinting has this number, I'll probably wake up laughing when I sleep!"

The readers of the works that have been published for two years are theoretically almost saturated. Although they are now a new version, the content of the book has not changed. It is not easy to have this sales volume. The super high reputation brings significant effects.

Although Zhang Chu doesn't think so, domestic readers and media are rushing to celebrate, believing that he has jumped to the same level as Ken Fred!

"It seems that the 12 million pounds are not spent in vain. Zhang Chuda helped Random House earn back in one week."

"Niuziqiuziqiuzi! How many 10 million novels are piled up? It's hard to imagine!"

"If this number hadn't been widely reported, I would have thought it was Onion News."

"This book is so powerful that the next book will be under great pressure. But every writer is definitely willing to have such a novel, even if he does nothing in the second half of his life, he will have pension insurance."

"As an international student, my classmates now say to me that Zhang Chu's books are great, and I asked me to recommend the rest of Zhang Chu's works to them! Unfortunately, few of the other novels have been translated into English!"

"It seems that the influence of the church is getting weaker and weaker."

"Who would have thought that this book would sell nearly ten million copies? I think it is just an ordinary suspense mystery novel. The knowledge points in it seem to be of no use except to expand your knowledge."

"One in ten thousand~~~ I bought a novel specially. It reads like a hundred-meter sprint, which makes people feel nervous and exciting. Finally, I get the fun of reading suspense mystery novels!"

Influenced by the novel "The Da Vinci Code", Zhang Chu's reputation has improved by leaps and bounds within the past half month and began to soar!
