Chapter 846: Sales are not good
Li Fan's work in the children's literature writing competition, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", officially met readers in China today. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Due to the reluctance of publishers in other countries to publish it, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is only available in China for the time being.
On this day, many people entered the bookstore and bought "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", but many more people had no intention of buying it for the time being.
They want to see the reviews from people who bought the book and decide whether to buy it or not.
Therefore, today "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has only 100,000 copies sold across the country, although it is not bad, but it is not good, it can only be said that it is so-so.
Such sales are enough for many other writers to celebrate happily, but for Li Fan, it is obviously still too little.
Therefore, there are many publishers who seem to be a little gloating when they hear the sales figures of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" today.
Among them, the most gloating is naturally the Autumn Rain Publishing House.
Han Feng and Huang Zhaoyang pushed their glasses to celebrate.
Han Feng said with a smile: "The sales of 100,000 copies, although slightly better than we expected, are only slightly better, this time, Chongwen Publishing House is out of sight." ”
Huang Zhaoyang also smiled: "This first day can sell 100,000 copies, that's because there are many people who go to Li Fan's face." Now that those people are almost gone, tomorrow's sales will definitely be much less. ”
Han Feng said again: "Yes, after those who bought the book today, after reading it, they will make some negative remarks on the Internet, which will undoubtedly affect its sales." I'd venture to speculate that well, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will not sell more than 500,000 copies in the end. ”
Huang Zhaoyang sneered and said, "500,000 copies? It's difficult for me to read 400,000 copies." ”
Han Feng nodded and said, "Well, indeed, should we go buy a copy and take a look? ”
Huang Zhaoyang waved his hand and said, "If the sales are good, we will naturally buy a copy, but now, there is no need for that." ”
Han Feng nodded in agreement.
......
The people who pay attention to Li Fan's new works are far more than the relevant people in China, but also the writers of children's literature in Languo, Danguo, Baiguo and other countries, as well as the representatives of the publishing houses at the last exchange summit, are also very concerned.

Jim and Jared of Sander Press were in a good mood at this time.
Jim smiled: "Jerry, Li Fan's entry has been released in China, what is it called "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", looking at the title of this book, it is indeed based on our Western world as the background, I have to say that he dares to take risks." Jerry, aren't you going to get a copy and come back and see? Not really going to publish it?"
Jerry also smiled and said, "Jim, his book only sold 100,000 copies on the first day in China, if it were in our country, how many could it sell? I don't think 1,000 copies will sell." If he doesn't want royalties, I can publish it for him, and I shouldn't lose money. But he wants a 10 percent share, which is impossible. ”
Jim said, "I've got a copy back, it should be there tomorrow, and he keeps saying that our fantasy literature doesn't have much research value, whether it's true or not, I'm interested in seeing what he writes, but it's in Chinese." Jerry, your publisher should be able to translate, I'd like to ask you to translate. ”
Jerry said, "I'm honored, Jim. However, there are some parts of the Chinese language that are more complex and difficult to understand, and the same sentence can express different meanings, and our translation may not be completely accurate. ”
Jim said, "Thank you, Jerry, it doesn't have to be completely accurate, you just have to be able to read it." ”
Jerry said, "No problem, Jim, you give me the book, and I will arrange a translator to translate it for you as soon as possible." ”
Jim said, "Thank you, Jerry." ”
Jerry said, "Jim, you're always so polite. ”

Gerson and Mueller of De Hezz are also in dialogue.
The content of the dialogue is similar to that of Jim and Jerry.
Gerson also got a copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in China, and asked Muller's De Hertz publishing house to help translate it.
Although Gesen is not good at fantasy literature, and he is not participating in the competition as fantasy literature this time, he also wants to see what Li Fan's fantasy literature is.
In addition, Andre of Denmark is also doing the same thing, and he also wants to know how Li Fan's fantasy literature is?
......
Li Fan's entries are on sale today, but the entries on sale today are not only Li Fan's.
Other writers who participated in the competition with fantasy literature included Jim and Chuttle in Lan, Laidongny in Denmark, and Antar in Baiguo.
Jim, Chuttle, Lytony, and Antar all participated in the fantasy literature competition, all of which were simultaneously released in many countries, which can be regarded as the four most well-known fantasy literature works in this competition.
Li Fan's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", although it is very well-known in China, is not well-known in other countries.
At least for now.
Of course, there are also some other writers who also participate in the competition with fantasy literature, but their influence is limited, and their distribution is basically distributed in their own countries, and readers in other countries are basically unaware of it.
Only when the jury gives the final ranking of the competition, readers from all over the world can see the title and ranking of the book on the official website of their own country's writers' association, and that's it.
The situation of the entries for long-form fairy tales is similar to that of fantasy literature, except for the entries of the most well-known authors, which are simultaneously distributed in many countries, and almost all of the rest are only distributed in their own countries.
However, this is not the case for the three genres of short fairy tales, children's poetry, and children's prose.
Because, these three genres are all presented on the Internet.
The official websites of writers' associations in various countries have opened corresponding contest channels.
All entries by all participating writers can be seen in the contest channel.
In the contest channel, there are three genres of short fairy tales, children's poems, and children's prose, and all the entries are listed in different categories, with original and translated versions, and readers can choose to read according to their own situation.
The number of entries in these three genres is also far greater than that of long-form fairy tales and fantasy literature.
The competition is also much fiercer, but it doesn't have to be as time-consuming and laborious to create.
It should be said that both have their advantages and disadvantages.
However, no matter what genre the entries are, the dust has now settled and they have all been available to readers.
All that's left is to wait for the final results.
