If "White Deer Plain" is not selling well now, I think it's normal, after all, this ** has already become popular. If you take "Dream of Red Mansions" as an example, the annual printing may not exceed 10,000.
The book "Going North" did not have a print run of more than 10,000 copies, which is quite surprising. However, in the future, when the TV series "Going North" is broadcast on TV, "Going North" will definitely be a big hit. After all, ordinary people are people who have watched TV series and are good-looking, and only those who like words are likely to go to read the original work. Film and television dramas are a kind of propaganda channel, most people don't pay attention to the current literary world, and they don't read literary magazines, so they don't know what good books are there now, so they can only rely on film and television dramas to promote。Now the publicity channels of books, one is relying on film and television dramas, and the other is relying on short ** platforms. The book "The World", according to an author, has been reprinted from 110,000 copies to 130,000 copies, and I think film and television dramas have played a particularly good role in publicity. If there are no film and television dramas, "The World" can't be said to be bad sellers, but printing more than 100,000 copies is not a particularly realistic thing.
In addition, after the TV series "Flowers" is broadcast, **Flowers" will also be a big hit. "Going North", the Mao Dun Literature Award work, is not a classic, but everyone must love to watch the TV series, after all, it is a "positive energy work", with "Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal" as the main line, narrating the people and things about the Grand Canal, reflecting a history of the people's resistance to aggression.
Many literary works have become easy to sell by relying on film and television publicity. So it is relatively easy to sell without relying on the promotion of film and television dramas, and in recent years, there seem to be very few Chinese literary works, and the books of the essayist Li Juan are easy to sell, and the books of the Three Musketeers of Tiexi are also relatively easy to sell - with the promotion of film and television dramas, it will sell better in the future. Other popular books are "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise" by Lin Yihan from the crooked, and "Human Disqualification" from Japan. "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise" became popular by relying on "adaptation of real people and real events" - but in fact, it is not like that, Lin Yihan is not Fang Siqi, and naturally he was not treated by the teacher at the age of fifteen, nor was he treated at the age of twenty. "Disqualification in the World" is more popular, because there are a lot of "wise sayings" in it, and the style of writing is somewhat secondary, which is easy for everyone to understand.
I think "Fang Siqi" and "Human Disqualification" must have a print run of 100,000 copies, and I have read these two books, but I haven't paid attention to the print run.
At least in the Chinese literary market, one is that the literature of suffering sells well. One is that "reasonable" works sell well, such as "Human Disqualification", because everyone can understand "reasonableness". If you only describe the words and deeds of the characters, and do not "reason", many people will not be able to understand them.
