096 New expectations
(I heard that the results of the college entrance examination came out today, Xiaobai recalled more than ten years ago today, and hoped that everyone was well!
Three days on the market. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
200,000 copies were sold on the first day.
280,000 copies the next day.
310,000 copies on the third day.
With a total of 790,000 copies sold, it can be said that Kung Fu Panda has created a myth.
Even Half-Blood Prince has never set this kind of sales record in the first three days of its release, but Kung Fu Panda did.
For Wang Dongdong.
"Kung Fu Panda" is enough to make him fame and fortune.
But at this moment, Wang Dongdong has never looked forward to the final result in three days as he is now.
There is still a gap of 710,000 copies of "Kung Fu Panda" from the total sales of 1.5 million copies of "The Half-Blood Prince", and it will not be able to surpass it in three days.
Whether it is for "Kung Fu Panda" or Wang Dongdong, it is a new challenge.
Before "Kung Fu Panda" was released, in fact, he never thought that Lin Tao's work would reach such heights.
But surprises always come quietly.
People are always dissatisfied.
Wang Dongdong is no exception.
"Kung Fu Panda" gave him much more than he had originally looked forward to.
The night was already dark.
In the huge black curtain, the faint yellow lights are like a ribbon passing through the center of the city.
As the only agency in the country responsible for collecting, collating and publishing literary data, the office building of The Novelist magazine in the capital is still brightly lit, and it does not look like it has taken a break from work.
The Novelist's magazine is currently the world's largest Chinese Chinese magazine with the longest history and one of the most popular world-class magazines.
Even overseas, there are various overseas editions such as English, Spanish, and French.
Meanwhile.
"Novelist" magazine also has the most authoritative industry statistics team in China, which is responsible for the statistics and release of the publication, sales and listing of literary works in China every year, every quarter, every month and even every day.
And in reality.
Most people in the country don't know.
"Novelist" magazine is not an organization specializing in the "novelist" magazine, but a comprehensive cultural group that owns the distribution rights of several well-known domestic magazines such as "novelist" magazine, three publishing houses, two well-known advertising brands, and the right to hold the most well-known "annual literary award" in China.
The magazine has always been respected and convinced by the vast majority of cultural celebrities in China with the most authoritative data and the most forward-looking vision.
There is no shortage of accolades in the media, either.
However.
This time, they looked away and even slapped themselves in the face.
As early as the beginning of the month, when the prologue of "Kung Fu Panda" was first published in the December issue of Dongjiang Literature, a magazine owned by the magazine once considered "Kung Fu Panda" to be nothing more than a sensationalizing work in a short review of the novel.
As a well-known literary criticism magazine in China, this argument immediately became the focus of controversy as soon as it came out.
In fact, however, it was precisely this kind of commentary, and the large number of discordant voices that followed, that seriously interfered with the judgment of the magazine.
It is a mistake to think that even if the market recognition of "Kung Fu Panda" is large, it will not be very widespread, at least not in the current situation.
Three days after its release.
The average daily sales volume is more than 260,000 copies.
This is not so much a new height in the domestic literary publishing industry.
It's better to say it's a resounding slap in the face.
A slap in the face of the magazine.
"What you have to do now is to think about whether there is room to make up for it, and how to make up for it. ”
"Editor-in-chief, tomorrow is the fourth day, and there are still 3 days left this month, and "Kung Fu Panda" will surpass the average daily sales of "Half-Blood Prince" to reach 240,000 copies--"
"Okay, don't settle this account, don't have a fluke mentality now, you have been in this industry for so many years, can't you still see that the result is doomed?
With 200,000 copies sold on the first day, followed by two consecutive days exceeding first-day sales, do you think such a book will have a cliff-like drop in sales over the next three days?
"Kung Fu Panda" surpassed "Half-Blood Prince" basically didn't have to run, and your job now is not to consider whether this result will appear, but how to report it, from what angle, and in what tone to report. ”
"But we've argued before. ”
"Words are dead, but people are alive, change this argument around. ”
There was silence in the office, and no one spoke.
In fact, they all know that the tone can indeed be changed, but the credibility of "The Novelist" cannot be changed, and no one dares to make this decision.
They did look away at "Kung Fu Panda".
Day 4.
With the foundation of the previous three days, the outside world is not too surprised by the final figures.
Compared to the sales of 310,000 copies on the third day.
The 320,000 copies on the fourth day were just a glimpse of the calm.
However, just when everyone thought that "Kung Fu Panda" was bound to break the sales record of "Half-Blood Prince" on day 6.
The sudden change on the fifth day shook people's hearts once again.
"Editor-in-Chief Wang, the 500,000 copies printed are not much, what should I do now?"
In the editorial office of Dongjiang Literary Magazine, even in the cold weather, a layer of fine sweat still appeared on Yang Min's forehead.
She ran almost all the way from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor.
Now the reception room on the first floor is full of dealer representatives from all over the country, and Lu Yuan's phone calls have been non-stop in Cui Shu.
This is the third batch of reprinting, and there are only 300,000 copies stored in the warehouse, but the orders received have already exceeded 300,000 copies.
"Let them print another 500,000 copies, and in addition, you immediately tell the printing department, and ask them to contact the printing house of Xinhua Bookstore immediately, they have a lot of resources there, and see if they can use it for a while.
I don't expect this to be the last potential of this number. ”
Wang Dongdong muttered to himself, but this sentence fell into Yang Min's ears no less than a thunderbolt.
Selling 300,000 copies a day is not even the last potential?
Could it be higher?
Is this really possible?
Yang Min didn't know that she didn't have any more thoughts to guess such a heart-pounding question at the moment.
Through the glass door of the office, Wang Dongdong looked at such a scene, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little throbbing.
He still underestimated the teenager's potential.
Wang Dongdong can almost conclude that this "Kung Fu Panda" will never have too high a literary status, as a highly imaginative and story-based work.
It is more suitable for the commercial market than the mainstream literary market.
But there's no denying it.
Even with this book, it was enough to make that kid a well-known best-selling author.
He's waiting now.
That's the number for the fifth day.
Will "Kung Fu Panda" set a new record again?
Wang Dongdong already had a faint premonition in his heart.
He waited.
Maybe it's just an aftershock.
Maybe it's a calm wave.
Or maybe it's a stormy storm.
