Xiaobai will strive for the outbreak of the manuscript next week, whether it is 5 more or 10 more, I don't know. ）

When the dust is almost settled, it seems as if all the hustle and bustle is left for the last revelry.

Last day of December 2005.

"Kung Fu Panda" once again attracted the attention of all media with a terrifying sales of 470,000 in a single day.

It can't be said that you have made a lot of money.

However, all of this seems to have no more meaning than to increase the thickness of the data.

In the editorial department of Dongjiang Literary Magazine, even though it has been off work for 4 hours, the entire third floor of the building is brightly lit.

Located in the conference room on the east side of the third floor.

More than a dozen high-level officials of the magazine and editorial offices were impressively seated.

Through the crack in the door.

Wang Dongdong's voice reached his ears, and Yang Min couldn't help but prick up his ears.

"President Tang, Editor-in-Chief Jiang, so far, our statistics are like this, the total sales of "Kung Fu Panda" is 2.09 million copies, surpassing the 1.68 million copies of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", becoming the sales champion of the year.

However, orders are now down by nearly half from three days ago, and if nothing else, daily sales will fall into a slump in the coming month, although our own estimates may end up at around 5 million copies.

We have a five-year publishing contract with the author of the novel, and within five years, the novel may still sell more than 6 million or more.

This is the original manuscript of the contract, so you can take a look at it, and I think that if we want to maximize the profit of publishing, we can start working on the distribution of overseas editions. ”

"Overseas version?"

Wang Dongdong's words still caused a small commotion.

It is a fact that Chinese literary works have always been poor in overseas distribution, and this is both a fact and a helplessness.

The middle-aged man sitting on Jiang Mei's side was about fifty years old, and most of his Chinese face was a little unangry and arrogant.

Wang Dongdong's voice fell.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and after whispering a few words to Jiang Yan, he looked at Wang Dongdong.

"Editor-in-Chief Wang, what basis do you have to judge that this book will have an overseas market?"

Wang Dongdong had obviously been prepared for the other party to ask such a question, and there was no trace of hesitation on his face.

Almost as soon as the man's voice fell into his ears, the words that had been brewing on the tip of his tongue immediately blurted out.

"President, Editor-in-Chief Jiang has read this work, and I would like to ask Mr. Jiang to answer this question, which should be the most appropriate. ”

Jiang Yan couldn't help but glance at her student.

It's already a handful of years, and this kid still can't change this kind of out-of-the-box temperament.

"You kid, it's on me, in that case, I'll say a few words, I read the original manuscript of the work "Kung Fu Panda".

I would now like to use one sentence to evaluate that as a commercial literary work, "Kung Fu Panda" is extremely successful. ”

It was quiet in the conference room.

All of them are extremely senior editors and publishers in the industry, and there are even well-known domestic writers like Jiang Yan.

It can be said that this group of people has concentrated the top talents and intelligence of the entire Dongjiang Literature magazine.

They all understood the hidden meaning of Jiang Yan's words.

"Kung Fu Panda" is a commercial literary work, not a work of high literary value.

It can be said that Jiang Mei's sentence has almost made the most concise qualitative and evaluation of this work, if nothing else.

Just this sentence and Jiang Yan's status in the domestic literary world, "Kung Fu Panda" and Xiaobai, the author of this work, will not be able to get a ticket to that circle.

Outside the meeting room.

Sit in the assistant's office next to the conference room.

The corners of Yang Min's mouth curved into a deep arc.

As the arc gradually lengthened, a very obvious smile appeared on his face.

Obviously.

Xiaobai doesn't care about such an admission ticket.

Of course, if the big people in the conference room knew Xiaobai's identity.

It's just a pity that there are not even three people in the entire conference room, including Wang Dongdong and Jiang Yan, who know that Xiaobai is Lin Tao.

Even the president of the magazine, Mr. Tang, probably didn't know.

They seem to be more concerned about how many copies of a work can be sold and how much profit it can bring to the magazine than about the author.

"So if the overseas version is released, what is the probability that the success of this work in China will be copied overseas?"

Yang Min thought well.

Tang Jin really didn't care who wrote the book, and as a senior member of the magazine, it would have been almost impossible for him to pay attention to an obscure author if it weren't for his personal interest.

Even if "Kung Fu Panda" is a big hit.

But in 2005, before there was any adaptation right, Tang Jin's idea was, as Jiang Yan said, that a commercial novel, even the author of the best-selling work of the year, was not enough to move him.

This is a habit that has been passed down by Chinese literati for thousands of years.

It's not good, but it's definitely not a good thing.

"I don't think it's too likely to be replicated in China, because the Chinese style of this work is too strong, and the recognition of Chinese culture by Western readers is far from that at the moment. ”

Jiang Yan is very sure of such a judgment.

It's just that she doesn't know.

What Lin Tao values is not the market for overseas readers, but the overseas film market.

On the announcement list of "The Novelist" on the first day of New Year's Day in 2006, the top spot in the sales list was "Kung Fu Panda".

A total of 2.09 million copies were sold for the year.

Not only won the sales championship in one fell swoop, but also refreshed the monthly sales record and weekly sales record of domestic novel works.

Such a success completely caused a sensation in the domestic media.

But something weird.

On top of that, the mainstream literary media outlets died down almost at the same time, with the exception of Dongjiang Literature's own magazine, which reported on the success of the work on the front page of its own magazine in January.

Hardly any of the major literary magazines and newspapers are covering any of the topics about Kung Fu Panda.

Jiang Mei's prophecy was confirmed almost instantly.

However, in stark contrast, Kung Fu Panda continues to maintain strong sales figures.

The first day of New Year's Day.

Since its release, Kung Fu Panda's single-day sales have once again surpassed its peak of 520,000 copies, which has already broken the record of 510,000 copies set by itself in the previous year.

For Lin Tao, who is far away in Songping.

Except that the royalty of up to 25% can get him a large amount of remuneration, it seems that this sales did not move him.

Compared with later films, in terms of the global box office of hundreds of millions or even billions of billions of dollars, such sales are undoubtedly just the beginning.
