1019 Best-Selling Authors
Although Lee Junyi has always insisted that his paintings are only amateur level, in terms of painting skills, Lee Junyi is really not an expert. This time, "Yi, Yi, Yi" is more about sharing Li Junyi's experience along the way. Sketches with words are a story.
But in fact, after the publication of "Yi, Qi, Yi", it confirmed the vision of Ding Shaoguang, an expert. Although Li Junyi's skills are not professional, his understanding of music, life and acting skills is deeply integrated into every painting. The emotion projected from paper is a kind of art. Coupled with Li Junyi's essay that can be called the finishing touch, the quality of the books is definitely excellent!
Judging from the comments from many writers, painters and artists about "Yi, Qi, Yi", it is obvious that Li Junyi brought a surprise to everyone, which was unexpectedly outstanding. After grading the ratings of thirty-six professionals, he actually gave the book a high score. Although he did not score 8 points, this is undoubtedly the highest affirmation for Li Junyi, an amateur contestant.
Judging from the readers' comments on "Yi, Qi, Yi", it was for Li Junyi. In addition to applauding the content of the book, many people say it is worth the money; while a small number of professional book fans who buy books with a critical or curious attitude are most appropriate to summarize the comments given by "accident" and two words.
The fact is that many professional book fans did not expect that "Yi, Qi, Yi" was not the product of Li Junyi's fame and sensationalism, but a truly serious work. The paintings of the works not only reveal deep emotions, but although the brushwork is a little elegant and tender and not professional enough, the content makes up for this shortcoming, and the matching essays are even more wonderful works, which make people see Li Junyi's talent here. It is indeed very surprising.
In addition to the surprise, some people suggested that these sketches and essays were written by Li Junyi for the gunman. After all, this is really common. This time, before Li Junyi was overwhelmed, someone jumped out to refute one and disagreed, and took out the sketches in the "Witch's Condition" as evidence, and started a fierce debate with these "sincerely intentioned and ill-fated people.
Afterwards, those who had watched Lee Junyi create on the spot testified to Lee Junyi in an interview with the media: Directors such as Christopher Nolan, David, and Finch can't stand it anymore, and reporters interviewed their testimony. Therefore, when Lin Xiyuan announced the sketchbook that Lee Junyi usually created, the truth had already cleared the clouds and fog and saw the light of the sky.
With such a good reputation, the sales of "Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi" soared, and the reprinted three million copies only lasted for one week. In other words, the first week of "Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi" was the 3.6 million copies that made everyone's chin go away. Of course, this sales are global sales, and many online orders come from all corners of the world.
The sales volume in the United States is 600,000 copies per week.
How terrible this number is? You can clearly understand it by comparing it. The third "lunar eclipse" in the "City of Light" series sold 250,000 copies in the first week of the United States. On the day of its launch, it pulled "Harry...Potter and Deathly Hallows..." down the top. Therefore, although "Harry, Potter and Deathly Hallows" had three million sales in the UK, "Yi, Qi, Yi" sold 600,000 in the first week of the United States, and successfully became the champion of the book sales rankings that week.
The third edition is imperative, but how many copies of the third edition have to be released has become a big trouble for publishers. You should know that every time you reprint, you have to pay a fee for printing, so if there are too many copies of the third edition, it will be unsalable, which is a loss: if there are fewer copies of the third edition, it is not enough to sell, and if there are reprints, the profit will be relatively reduced. Moreover, 3.6 million copies have been sold, so the number of copies of the third edition is indeed worthy of business. Finally, the publisher gritted his teeth and printed six million copies of the third edition, and Li Junyi directly said a comment: "They are crazy."
But the facts proved that the publisher was not crazy. All the six million copies were sold, and they were not enough to sell. The fourth edition was needed to add the printed version, which surprised Li Junyi's own jaw to fall off. Faced with such a grand occasion, compared to Li Junyi's surprise, the media calmed down because everyone knew that there was something called the "Zhuyi effect" in this world. Never doubt its influence, otherwise it would be you who suffer.
In the end, "Yi, Yi, Yi" was reprinted nine times, with a global sales of 45 million copies, ranking 41 weeks in the United States sales ranking, a 30-week championship in the UK sales ranking, and countless other books sales rankings. "Twilight is still one million copies, and there are still a debate, which now seems very ridiculous. But who can know that Lee Junyi published a book and received a lot of praise, creating another miracle in sales. At this time, before Lee Junyi's name, you can add a name: a best-selling writer.
In the first week of the release of "Yi, Yi, Yi", because the books were sold out twice, Li Junyi held two signing meetings in Luoshan Alum to thank everyone for their support. Li Junyi has always known clearly that without the support of these fans and movie fans, he would not have achieved such achievements today. After winning the Best Actor Award at the Golden Globes, Li Junyi felt that he should take time to thank everyone. Now the sketch album is very popular again, and it is actually sold out. Of course, it is a great opportunity.
The first signing meeting held by Lee Junyi at Luo Hui'an was gathered on the spot, and Lee Junyi signed from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and there were still crowds in front of him. Even though Lee Junyi had been exercising many album signing meetings, she still had a sore waist and back pain after signing in one day, and what was even more fatal was that her wrists were a little red and swollen.
During the signing meeting the next day, Fred Yonger and Lin Xiyuan originally suggested that Li Junyi just use the signature seal to stamp it, but it was quicker, but Li Junyi refused. "I would rather sign less or change it to a handshake meeting than fool everyone with the signature seal." This is Li Junyi's principle.
So, the next day, Li Junyi raised his red and swollen wrist and faced more than 9,000 book fans, and started the Long March journey again. By noon, Li Junyi's right hand began to feel the stinging pain. He looked up at the endless crowd in front of him. Li Junyi shook his head with a wry smile. Sometimes it was a worry that he was too popular.
Just as Lee Junyi was about to lower her head and continue signing, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from the audience. There was still a trend of spreading. Lee Junyi raised her head curiously, but as soon as she looked up, her eyes returned to peace, "What's going on?" Lee Junyi subconsciously turned her head and asked Fred Pyre behind her. She didn't want to, and as soon as she turned her head, she was occupied by a bright red.
Sitting on the chair and looking up, Lee Junyi couldn't help laughing. The familiar face in front of him did surprise Lee Junyi, "Blake?" The person came was Black who hadn't seen for a while... Lively, Lee Junyi stood up in surprise. First, he nodded to the book fans standing at the desk and apologized, then turned around and gave Black, Lively a hug.
"Dear Yi, I like your book very much. I wonder if you can sign it for me? Lively, the Bladean, took out a copy of "Yi, Yi, Yi" from behind. The cover of this book is red maple leaves all over the mountains, just like the beautiful scene I saw when filming "The Witch's Conditions" back then, it is glorious and graceful, and the strong autumn spirit is vividly displayed on the paper.
But Lee Junyi did not take over his book, but said on purpose, "I guess you can't even read the title of the book, and you still like my book?" In fact, Lee Junyi knew that the book had been sold twice this week. No matter what method Black and Lively got it, it was a true feeling. Taylor Rotner, Andrew Field and others complained to Lee Junyi more than once. It was really frustrating that they couldn't buy a book again and again.
Blygun Lively raised his eyebrows, "Yi, Yi, Yi" right? Do I need to explain the meaning?" The face was filled with the proud look of the first brother "slook at me."
Li Junyi didn't buy it and curled her lips, "The preface has been explained, you don't need to read it again." Then she stretched out her right hand, "Okay, when you see that you are quite beautiful, I reluctantly let you jump in line and sign it for you first." At this time, the row of fans standing in front of the desk were already laughing so hard.
Unexpectedly, Blake... Lively did not hand over the book, but took a breath, "Yi, your right hand is swollen, are you sure there is no problem?" The words of the Blakes Lively immediately attracted the attention of the fans around him to Lee Junyi's right wrist.
Li Junyi waved his hand, looking indifferent, "Don't worry, I'm fine. When it really doesn't work, I won't hold on." Then he changed the subject, "You can't take the book, it's out of date! I haven't seen so many people waiting for us both." Li Junyi's ups and downs tone successfully diverted the attention of the Blair Lively for a while.
After Li Junyi finished the bookmark, Blygun Lively gave Li Junyi a big hug, "If I waste time, I guess the thousand people on the scene will have an objection to me. I'd better go back and read the album." Then she whispered in Li Junyi's ear, "Please pay attention to ice compress on your wrists, don't show off."
As Li Junyi's friend, she was still worried about her red and swollen wrists.
Lee Junyi nodded with a smile.
