"Yesterday, the movie 'Hurricane Special Agent' held a grand celebration banquet. It is reported that the global cumulative box office of 'Hurricane Special Agent' has reached 5.7 billion National Currency, with a domestic box office of 2 billion National Currency and a North American box office of 300 million US dollars..."
When Li Chencan saw this, the blood in his veins seemed to boil as if it were about to burst out!
This was his favorite movie!
The Chinese Empire is the world's largest box office market, and domestic films have a huge box office worldwide. 'Hurricane Special Agent' is a complete commercial popcorn blockbuster.
If in the previous life's China, the mainland box office of a movie was basically the global box office... but in this life, a purely action-packed, large-scale popcorn movie like 'Hurricane Special Agent' could achieve a global box office of 5.7 billion National Currency.
Of course, out of the 5.7 billion National Currency box office, 3.5 billion was contributed by China and the United States (the exchange rate between National Currency and US dollars is 5:1).
Li Chencan came from a world where domestic films were like a small boat in a storm, drifting and dispirited. Now, in the empire he was in, imperial films had the influence of Hollywood films from his previous life! In this world, where domestic films are synonymous with refinement, how could Li Chencan, whose main profession is directing, not be excited?
Moreover, his head was filled with countless movies from that world...
His now superhuman memory could recall even the most insignificant details in those movies, and he could remember every punctuation mark in the movie scripts from that world. At that time, he had watched no less than 5,000 movies to become a director! He had seen most of the classic movies in that world.
Although the film industry in this world is highly developed, many classic movies from Earth do not have counterparts here, or if they do, they are not as classic. Of course, there are also many classic movie types here that do not exist on Earth, and some are even more classic than those in that world...
But the exchange of ideas is what this is all about... Oh, Li Chencan cannot bring these back to Earth, but he can bring the classic movies from that world to this side.
Many ideas were enough to keep Li Chencan up all night!
He wished he could bring out all the classic things overnight.
But he also knew that one must eat step by step, just as it took him a long time to write 'Those Ming Dynasty Things.' He needed time to bring the classic things over.
At this moment, 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' was already selling like hotcakes nationwide.
After the second day, the sales of 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' were no longer limited to Rongcheng or Tianfu Province.
In other words, 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' had begun a nationwide sales boom.
With the example of Rongcheng, bookstores across the country also prominently displayed 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' in the new arrivals section.
Soon, good news came from all over the country!
By September 25th, in Rongcheng alone, 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' had already sold more than 4,000 copies!
This was an extremely impressive number!
At the beginning, even the very critical Yan Xiaokang, who was very critical of the book and Shi Chuanfeng, only set a勉强及格线 of 1,000 copies for the total sales of the book. Now, in Rongcheng alone, 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' had sold nearly 5,000 copies! Moreover, as the good word of mouth spread, the sales of 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' continued to grow steadily.
At the same time, the book was also selling very well in other parts of the country.
'Those Ming Dynasty Things' achieved the highest sales of new books on the day of release in many cities across the country. In large cities like Zhonghai and Yanjing, the sales of 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' had already surpassed those in Rongcheng. By the 25th, Yanjing had sold a cumulative total of 5,500 copies, and Zhonghai had sold more than 4,700 copies...
Nationwide, by the 25th, 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' had sold a cumulative total of 42,000 copies!
In just five short days!
'Those Ming Dynasty Things' had achieved a stunning comeback!
For a new author, as long as their first book reaches a cumulative sales of 10,000 copies, their future will be very promising, and they will also receive attention from the publishing and cultural circles! If the first book reaches a cumulative sales of 100,000 copies, that person can compete for the title of Newcomer of the Year.
But Li Chencan's 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' had sold 40,000 copies in just five days! This achievement left many people in the publishing industry speechless, and they began to inquire about who Li Chencan was, as he had achieved such a terrifying sales volume.
After all, how long has this book been out? It's already this terrifying!
Is Li Chencan going to compete for the title of Newcomer of the Year? No, this might already be the Newcomer of the Year for the past five years!
The empire certainly has many talented authors who have achieved impressive sales with their first books, but Li Chencan not only entered this list of talented authors but also stood out among them. Selling 40,000 books in five days as a new author, he was indeed remarkable.
There is also a very important point—many other talented authors can write books with good sales, but most of their works are novels. However, Li Chencan's 'Those Ming Dynasty Things,' if it must be called a novel, is a historical novel!
Who can achieve such a huge sales volume with a historical novel?!
Only the mysterious Li Chencan!
This is the first time!
"Chuanfeng, you did a really great job this time! Signing 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' has been a great help to the publishing house," Wu Gang, Shi Chuanfeng's direct superior, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Perhaps some people had misunderstandings about you before, but now you have shown them the answer with the success of the book you signed! This is very good!"
Wu Gang was indeed very happy.
A book like 'Those Ming Dynasty Things' was like a windfall!
Rongcheng Baihua Publishing House has always pursued a diverse approach, publishing both serious and unconventional books, truly a variety of genres.
And Baihua Publishing House also hoped to blaze a new trail, creating some new genres of books to maintain its unique style.
But creating new genres is no easy task.
They could only publish some novel books with all their efforts... but this time, a new author had unknowingly created a new genre, and with such high sales.
