"Kung Fu Panda has recently been released in the UK, with 500,000 and 3,987 copies on the first day!"
"New record: Chinese works sell more than 500,000 copies on the first day in the UK!"
"On Chinese New Year's Eve, the UK welcomes Chinese works!"
"Publishing News: Hundreds of people lined up all night at a London bookstore to buy Kung Fu Panda. ”
According to the report sent back by our reporter from London, England, on the evening of January 1, local time in the United Kingdom, the story novel "Kung Fu Panda" created by China's new best-selling author Xiaobai was officially released on the first day of release in the UK.
Kung Fu Panda sold more than 500,000 copies on its first day in the UK, surpassing the previous record for first-time sales set by the Harry Potter series of novels and becoming the daily number one on the bestseller list in the UK.
"Kung Fu Panda" is a novel created by Chinese writer Xiaobai with the theme of China's rare animal panda and Chinese kung fu, with a novel story and a compact plot, and has been popular among domestic readers since its official publication.
Last year, this work beat the famous British writer Rowling's "Harry Potter" series of novels with 2.09 million sales in China and became the best-selling work of the year.
Not so long ago.
"Kung Fu Panda" has already completed the record of selling 5 million copies in China, and it is believed that it will be difficult for any work to break this record in a short period of time.

It was the same day after Bristol held a press conference.
China's domestic media began to report at length, almost indiscriminately.
Major newspapers and TV stations began to list all the previous controversies about this work.
One of the most eye-catching is the news that Gao Qiang, the CEO of Far Eastern Century Publishing Group, bets with industry insiders.
According to reports.
Gao Qiang himself was interviewed by reporters earlier today.
"Mr. Gao, may I ask if you have long been optimistic about this work?"
"In fact, it's not optimistic about a work, but a kind of recognition, how to say, "Kung Fu Panda" has sold more than 5 million copies in China, and now it is 6 million copies, what kind of data is this.
If you're a publisher, you know that if a book sells 5 million copies, you're going to be so excited that you can't sleep for days and nights.
Because this is the performance, some publishers can't publish 5 million books, you think about it, it can do it in one work.
Best of all, you can think about it from a different perspective.
If a book can sell 5 million copies, it means that there are 5 million readers in China who recognize the book, 5 million is a very terrible group, they are not British or Europeans, there are commonalities in some places.
There is no reason why a work that can sell 5 million copies in China should only sell 50,000 copies in Europe. ”
Facing the camera, Gao Qiang seemed to have a good face, although he stayed awake all night.
"Just got back from Europe that Kung Fu Panda has achieved 500,000 copies in the UK, how do you feel about that?"
"Feelings? To be honest, I really don't have any special feelings, let's just say that, I bet with Mr. Yang at the beginning that 500,000 copies is actually a conservative estimate.
You think, I mean, it's going to sell 500,000 copies on its first day in Europe, and now it's 500,000 in the UK alone, how many do you think there will be in Europe?
Not to mention five million copies, there are still one or two million copies, and I am a publisher, and I know that no domestic work has sold so well in Europe in the past ten years. ”
Syllable!
Turn off the TV.
Lin Tao still admires this chubby Gao Zong.
The first stop of "Kung Fu Panda" overseas premiere achieved 500,000 copies in the UK, which is indeed a good result.
In fact, Lin Tao himself did not expect it.
He knew that the movie had sold a lot of money after it was made, but it was a bit surprising that it could sell so well when it was restored to words.
In fact, looking back, it seems that this should be the case.
The Harry Potter series has created a box office of nearly $8 billion, and the three "Kung Fu Panda" films also have more than ten or two billion, and the series effect is far less strong than the "Harry Potter" series.
There is also a lack of such a thing as text publication and publicity.
Plainly.
"Harry Potter" is a series of movies with a box office higher than its real value, eating the fan economy, and in this time and space in 2005, Hollywood did not have classic animations such as Finding Nemo.
The success of "Kung Fu Panda" is just a rhythm that should have been.
500,000 copies is probably just the beginning.
Just as Lin Tao thought.
500,000 copies is really just the beginning.
Immediately after Ryan's press conference.
The world's major media.
In particular, the media in European countries have intensively reported on the Chinese work "Kung Fu Panda".
Even the American media across the ocean took notice, with Hollywood entertainment news running large Kung Fu Panda posters on the front page with a striking name.
"Kung Fu panda!"
And in China.
The best-selling "Kung Fu Panda" in the UK has also become the hottest topic of the 2006 New Year.
Even domestic sales have seen a jump.
Throughout the Spring Festival, total domestic sales quickly broke through the 7 million mark from 6 million copies to 8 million copies.
China has a population of 1.3 billion.
8 million copies sold is not much for the huge crowd.
But the point is, there has never been a story novel that has achieved such sales in such a short period of time.
Arguably.
Kung Fu Panda created a myth in the world of publishing.
The Japanese and South Korean media also began to pay attention to China, which suddenly became a hit in the United Kingdom, after Hollywood in the United States.
Readers in both countries, who have always been affected by mainstream Western culture, have begun to demand that domestic publishers import this Chinese work as never before.
As the only ******** with the author's right to publish, Dongjiang Literary Magazine has even been named by state leaders several times as a model of cultural communication, and has been asked to negotiate with these countries about overseas publishing.
In Europe.
The popularity of a Chinese work.
The sensation it caused is absolutely unimaginable.
In particular, the Harry Potter book series was in full swing, and Chinese works topped the bestseller list in the UK at this time.
In a way, it's a bit like the embarrassment of being choked in the face.
But the capitalist system is the reality, and in the face of considerable economic profits, no one will reject "Kung Fu Panda" because it is a Chinese work.
Bristol's sales department was piling up a large number of agreed manifests, and at the same time, Ryan Brie Stoll began to move around the continent almost non-stop.
Publishers in Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and other countries, are asking to work with them.
Orders flew in like snowflakes.
Even greater success is on the horizon.
But.
Such achievements are indispensable to people who are secretly jealous. (To be continued.) )
