Chapter 161: Phenomenon 2
The madness of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is beyond anyone's imagination. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The 17th day, 400,000 copies is not the end, but only the beginning.
700,000 copies on the eighteenth day.
On the nineteenth day, it surpassed one million copies.
On the twentieth day, it reached 1.1 million copies.
So far, no one doubts that this is a phenomenal work. Even those who are unhappy with it have to remain silent in the face of this achievement.
Just when everyone was expecting it to set a higher record...... It released everyone's pigeons again.
On the twenty-first day, only one million and a half million copies were sold.
Although it was only 50,000 less than the previous day, it was indeed a drop. Many knowledgeable people know that 1.1 million is the highest record.
As it turned out, the sales volume was indeed getting lower day by day. On the twenty-third day, one million copies were dropped, and only 930,000 copies were sold that day.
Zhu Ziqing was not at all dissatisfied with this situation. He had no reason to be dissatisfied with such a result.
In the previous life, "Harry Potter" once set a record of selling millions of copies a day. But that was done when several previous games had laid a good foundation.
In fact, the book's initial sales weren't exaggerated. The first part only sold 150,000 copies in the first fifteen months, and 10,000 copies per month.
That's actually a high number, enough for it to be on the best-selling list in the UK. It's just that it's not even a fraction of what it does compared to the follow-up works.
Later, a publishing house of the United States signed off the publishing rights, and there was a miracle later.
You must know that he didn't plan to make money in the first book, and he was even ready to lose money. His original plan was to use the first two parts to lay a good foundation for fame, and use the later parts to reap.
How do you know that after many efforts, plus some luck ingredients, just the first part can reach this level. What is he not satisfied with?
When the sales spread these days, publishers all over the world went crazy. They have sent their most capable teams to the US imperialism to win the publishing rights of their own country. It would be better if we could get the publishing rights of other countries along with them.
But there is only one country where publishers have not moved, and that is China. As for the reason, it goes without saying.
Hollywood studios are called regrets, why didn't we act sooner for such a good book. Especially those who have come to talk about it, and they dislike Tao Yingshuang's price is too high, and they are even more regretful.
Compared to this achievement, that price is a penny. Now if you go to talk to someone, it may not be possible to increase the price by two or three times.
In fact, they don't know that they are not ready to sell film and television adaptation rights at all. The so-called negotiations are just a matter of understanding the situation.
In the past few days, Tao Yingshuang has also been in pain and happy.
Needless to say, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" turned around and slapped half of the people in a country, can you not be happy.
What makes him happiest is that through this incident, his relationship with Zhao Rouya has made a substantial breakthrough. Marriage is already on the agenda.
Don't feel too abrupt and don't feel like it's going too fast. The two have known each other for so many years, and it can be said that they know the roots. The step of getting to know each other is omitted.
At the same time, we should also consider Tao Yingshuang's age. Thirty-five years old, he is already the eldest and the family is already in a hurry. If you don't get married, it is estimated that the old man and the old lady will be able to get angry.
The pain also comes from the best-selling Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. At that time, he printed five million copies directly, and everyone thought he was crazy. Even he didn't think he could sell it out.
Who knew that these five million copies would be gone without even making a splash. He had to run the printing house himself, and this was not in short supply. If you can't earn it with the silver of white flowers, can you not be miserable?
"Lao Zhu, I just want to say one word, cow." Amir gave a thumbs up.
The success of Harry Potter is definitely one of the happiest people he is. Zhu Ziqing said that he wanted to write a book based on their family's experience, and to be honest, he was quite unsure.
It's not that he doubts Zhu Ziqing's level, but that every country has its own national conditions and national characteristics. If you can't grasp these characteristics, it is a story of Afghanistan with the skin of Chinese culture.
It wasn't what he wanted. What he wanted was an authentic Afghan story.
After seeing "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", this concern was dispelled. I haven't been to John Bull's house but wrote an original John Bull-style story, and genius really can't be reasonable.
Since he can write a story like Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which is full of John Bull style, it is not impossible to write a story that belongs to Afghanistan.
"Awards, average, and the third in the world." Zhu Ziqing's 'modest' way.
"I can't get used to your shameless appearance." Feng Zhengyuan was disdainful.
"Oh, what are you used to seeing the willow?" Zhu Ziqing squinted at Feng Zhengyuan contemptuously.
Feng Zhengyuan retreated. The attitude of the first year of contact with willow is very good, there are talking and laughing. Occasionally, she said something meaty, and she laughed without any anger.
As a result, he had a misunderstanding, thinking that he had finally found a girl who could appreciate him. During that time, not to mention how much I was scared, I was in the dormitory every day and said that I hit third base in three months.
Slowly, he realized that he had committed one of the three major delusions of life during the love period, and she felt good about me.
Yang Liu's contact with him was based on his trust in Zhu Ziqing, thinking that Zhu Ziqing would not cheat her, and the friends he introduced must be very reliable. Otherwise, he would have been eliminated by a mere separation.
When he said that the words of flesh and numbness were not accepted, but it was not good to save face for him, and he directly objected. To put it bluntly, he is still in the inspection period, and he still needs to work hard to get things done.
But he is different, he has chatted with Yang Liu for so long, he has listened to his voice, seen photos, and opened videos, so he has a certain understanding of each other...... He's a little reluctant to let people go.
In layman's terms, he has a crush on other people's girls.
The two don't know each other, and one is Tiannan and the other is Haibei, and if they want to succeed, they can't do without Zhu Ziqing, a matchmaker. So how dare Feng Zhengyuan provoke him, he almost confessed to him.
Of course, he also knew that Zhu Ziqing would not deliberately harm him. But isn't life like that, sometimes the posture that should be done still has to be done.
It's also a fun experience among classmates. In these years, who hasn't ordered the spirit of two forces.
"Lao Zhu, you are too modest." Unexpectedly, Amir took it seriously: "The single-day sales volume is 11.1 million copies, which is the highest single-day sales of the US imperialists in five years." It's not the third in the world, it's the first in the world. ”
"Uh...... Luck, luck. "This time it's Zhu Ziqing's turn, I'm embarrassed. It was originally a joke, and it was over after saying it. But as soon as Amir said this, his meaning changed completely.
"It's not luck, strength is strength. This is the honor you deserve. Amir retorted solemnly.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." This is the difference in culture, and Zhu Ziqing has no intention of correcting it, so he simply changes the topic. (To be continued.) )
