Chapter 48: I Hope So

"That's right! Yue Yue's "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" is absolutely good-looking. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The more I write, the more I write the TV series, I must watch it. ”

"I'm looking forward to it. ……”

"The more and more handsome, acting on TV must be intoxicating. ”

"The more I love it, the more I want to watch more and more TV series. ”

"Upstairs is done. ”

"I just like Yue Yue, what can you do. ”

"Don't argue, don't argue, Yun Yue published a book the day before yesterday, it seems to be called "Harry Potter", have you bought it?"

"What, there's such a thing, where can I buy it. ”

"It's available on Taobao! Physical stores may not be able to buy it for the time being. ”

"I'll buy it right away, as long as it's more and more books written by you, it's absolutely supportive!"

"Go together. ”

"It's true that I'm a fan of Yunyue, but I'm a principled fan, anyone who has watched "Harry Potter", if it's well written, I'll buy it, if it's not good, then I'm sorry. ”

"I bought it, and now I've finished reading the first one, and this novel is so well written, as long as you read it, it will make people want to stop and forget to sleep and eat. ”

"Is it really that good? Tell me what's so good. ”

"I'm not fooling you, first of all, the plot is meticulous, the characters are profound, the writing is beautiful and delicate, the book "Harry Potter" is really well written. ”

"I don't read much, don't fool me. ”

"What am I fooling you about, do you know that Harry Potter is a global simultaneous release, and now there are dozens of foreign language versions that have been released simultaneously around the world. ”

"Oh my God, aren't you bragging here? ”

"If you open Taobao and see how many foreign language versions there are, it seems that there are now eighteen versions. ”

"Oh the calf, I'm going to take a look. ”

"Don't lie to me, I don't read much. ”

After a while, the buddy popped up again:

The English version costs ninety-three dollars, and the German version costs fifty-two euros, which is almost three times the price of the Chinese version. ”

"This must be topped, in the past, it was the thieves who sold foreigners' books in China, but now it is our turn to sell our books in foreign countries. ”

"I just don't know if this "Harry Potter" will sell out in foreign countries. ”

"I think it's a bit hanging! There must be cultural differences between foreigners and Chinese. ”

"You haven't seen Harry Potter, it's a fantasy novel with a strong British classical flavor, and I can say with certainty that this book will definitely sell abroad. ”

"I hope so. ”

……

Tang Wang made a huge determination to open up the foreign market this time, he directly applied to the board of directors for 20 million US dollars in publicity fees, and the largest shareholder of Huaxia Publishing House was Zhou Ziqing, so Tang Wang's application for the foreign publicity fee of "Harry Potter" was approved without hindrance.

20 million US dollars, that's more than 100 million yuan, so much money is just for advertising a book. In fact, this money looks like a lot, and it is distributed to more than a dozen countries, and the advertising expenses that can be apportioned in each country are only a few million.

Millions can barely do a little advertising in some media, print some beautiful posters and hang them in major bookstores, as for the effect is unknown, but it is better than nothing.

Tang Wang's only hope is the quality of "Harry Potter", as long as it is a good book, it will be passed on by word of mouth, as long as it is a good book, it will not be buried for a long time, and gold will always shine.

Tang Wang, who has been in the industry for decades, certainly does not pin all his hopes on the ethereal and empty word of mouth.

In mid-August, Charlotte Park in the heart of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, will host the annual Edinburgh International Book Festival, where good books and authors from all over the world gather.

As long as Yunyue's "Harry Potter" can be recognized by the organizing committee at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, it will be recommended by them, which will greatly benefit the fame of "Harry Potter", because the Edinburgh Book Festival is the most well-known and authoritative book festival in the world.

Although the Edinburgh Book Festival does not award awards, the organizing committee selects a few very good novels and recommends them to the most well-known literary awards in the UK, such as the Booker Prize for Fiction, the Orange Novel Award, the Kosda Prize for Fiction and other English literary awards.

As long as it wins several major British literary awards, even if "Harry Potter" opens Pandora's box in the world, it is impossible to think that it will not be popular.

Although the world's popular literature originated in Rome and Greece, it is still the United Kingdom, an empire that never set, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Britain is the birthplace of modern literature.

The literary awards of other countries are really influenced by the English literary awards, and if the literary works that win awards in the United Kingdom are not selected in other countries, it is simply a slap in the face to themselves.

After winning "Harry Potter" and winning the UK's great literary award, Tang Wang will carry these honors of "Harry Potter" to participate in the literary awards of other countries, so there will be no problem in winning the award.

For example, the United States, in fact, the culture of the United States is inherited from the United Kingdom, the United States is a colony of the United Kingdom, and it is natural for them to inherit the British culture, so several major literary awards in the United States are also deeply influenced by the British Literary Award.

Tang Wang, a Chinese publisher who has been in the industry for decades, has spared no effort and racked his brains in order to promote Chinese culture to the world.

For example, the cautious "Harry Potter" has the flavor of British classical literature, and a novel like this will definitely add a lot of points to participate in the UK's great literary award!

Only people who have been in the publishing industry for many years know these routines, and Shen Xu just wrote "Harry Potter", but the work behind it is much more than he paid for writing books.

There are still a few days left before the Edinburgh Book Festival, and Tang Wang reported all his thoughts to Zhou Ziqing, the big boss, and Zhou Ziqing is doing his best to pave the way for his prospective son-in-law at this time!

Zhou Ziqing immediately agreed to Tang Wang's arrangement, and Zhou Ziqing also told Tang Wang that he would communicate with Yun Yue about going to the United Kingdom to participate in the Edinburgh International Book Festival, and he could book a plane ticket.

Since Shenxu sang "If You're Okay, I Don't Disturb" at the signing ceremony, Shenxu's Weibo has been crowded, and countless netizens have left messages on Shenxu's Weibo:

"Please, don't torture us like this, we want to listen to the full version with accompaniment. ”

"The light singing is just as good to hear the extreme. ”

"Let those who question more and more falsetto sing can rest, this cappella song is to slap those questioning faces. ”

"Find the full version ......"

Although Shen Xu's Weibo account was registered with Zhou Ruoxuan's help, he occasionally goes up to take a look, after all, interacting with fans can shorten the distance with fans.

The fans' messages, of course Shen Xu saw it, since he has already sung this song, it must be done perfectly, this is Shen Xu's character.

This song was originally purchased in the Tianting Supermarket APP, of course, there is a music score, you just need to copy it from your mind with caution.
