Chapter 158: Reversal 2

Hitchcock's book review was like a clarion call, and many people who had seen Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone began to share their joy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info was weak at first, but it withstood the pressure and was not drowned out by the taunts.

As many readers have said:

"It's an excellent novel that doesn't deserve that treatment, and it's incumbent upon a true book lover to stand up and speak for it. ”

As more and more people joined the mix, the trickle grew into a stream and a river...... Tao Yingshuang was naturally unwilling to let go of such an opportunity and began to launch a new round of publicity.

"Don't look for the media in the first round of publicity, now the word of mouth has not been reversed, and it will definitely be bitten hard by this group of vampires. Hype it on the Internet first, and when the praise is turned around, we don't need to do it, and they will come to the door themselves. ”

Just because someone else comes to the door doesn't mean you don't have to spend money, the media are very undisciplined, and who knows how they will report it when the time comes. If you want people to say something good, it will definitely cost money. It's just a matter of spending more and spending less.

Another reason is that anyone with a discerning eye in the media can see that it is hype, and the effect will be greatly reduced, and it will also cause a backlash from readers. Waiting for the online wind reviews to improve is a different situation.

Soon, people who regularly surf the Internet discovered something. The slightly more populated forums are talking about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and most of them are praise.

There are also scolding, but the scolding posts will soon be encroached upon by a large group of praise parties. People who don't know the situation click on it and think that the poster is deliberately smearing.

In fact, this is the water army in action, which is very untechnical. Post everywhere to create topics, not only post praise posts, but occasionally mix in a few mocking posts, and then use a group of vests to clarify the posts.

If you come across a compliment post from someone else, click on it and reply to it. Artificial pinning keeps these posts on the front page for a long time. The method is very simple and old-fashioned, but the effect is very obvious, and word of mouth is reversed little by little.

It didn't take long for the media to take the initiative to find Tao Yingshuang, as Tao Yingshuang thought. What followed was naturally a money deal. The media's intervention was like a final word, and the situation was completely reversed.

On the tenth day, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sold more than 100,000 copies a day, which allowed it to successfully trample the original second place under its feet, and above it was "Save the Earth 2", which sold about 150,000 copies.

At this point, no matter how dull people are, they know that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has successfully turned over. But they didn't expect that this was just the beginning, and the next development would be beyond their cognition, and they would be stunned by countless people.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" reversed the situation, and the happiest people were naturally Tao Yingshuang and others. But there is another group of people who are also very happy, and that is the American imperialist publisher of "Seven Nights Fairy Tale".

"This group of vampires is really shameless, we couldn't push them for help when we were in trouble, and now they are running over to take advantage. Sid scolded.

"This is normal, you will often encounter this kind of thing when you are in charge of the publishing house in the future, and you must stay calm and not be rash when the time comes. Tao Yingshuang is half affirming and half warning.

Hearing this, a happy smile appeared on Sid's face. Although Tao Yingshuang said that if he did well, he would hand over the company to him in the future. But this is the first time such a thing has been said with such certainty.

"Mr. Tao rest assured, I know what to do. Thomson Publishing is stronger than we are, and working with them is good for us. ”

Thomson Publishing House is the publishing house that has obtained the North American distribution rights of "Seven Nights Fairy Tale", Tao Yingshuang contacted them some time ago, wanting to borrow their strength, but was rejected.

Let's not say that people look down on them at all. Just say that others are also engaged in publishing, and you are also engaged in publishing, as long as you are not stupid, no one will set up a competitor for yourself.

"Harry Potter" reversed the situation, and Thomson Press approached again to ask for cooperation. Their goal was simple, to hype up the name "Seven Nights" and then link the two books together to increase the sales of "Seven Nights Fairy Tale".

Of course, this is also of great benefit to Tao Yingshuang. Thomson Publishing is a long-established company of the United States, and it is in good condition, and its influence and ability are beyond the reach of St. Martin's Publishing House.

Working with them can save you a lot of time and hassle. Otherwise, Tao Yingshuang would not have asked for others.

"Mr. Tao, Sid, both of you are here. At that moment, Toby, the head of the Interim External Affairs Department, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Beautiful lady, is there anything we can help me with?" said Sid, in a good mood.

"Several film companies have contacted us again, and the prices are very high. Toby is also very happy, and it should be said that there are not many employees who are unhappy with the current stay at St Martin's Press. But happy is happy, and the work still has to be reported.

"Oh, who are they?" Tao Yingshuang was also interested.

Filming film and television requires materials, and literary publishing has always been one of the most important materials in the film and television industry, and the works on the bestseller list will almost be bought immediately. Even if you can't use it yourself, you can't leave it to others.

"Harry Potter" was so hot before it was released, and its sales entered the top ten on the first day. Naturally, those people in Hollywood will not let it go.

It's just that the book was in a whirlpool at that time, and the reputation was really not very good, and those film companies kept the price very low. Not to mention that Tao Yingshuang didn't plan to sell it at all, even if he wanted to sell it, he wouldn't agree to such a low price.

Things have dragged on until now, and seeing that "Harry Potter" has turned around, sales are getting higher and higher day by day, and those film companies can no longer sit still.

"Timon, McGrath, Warner, MGM, Paramount, Universal......" Toby could hear Sid's exclamation every time he said a name.

These are not the small film studios that can be found everywhere in Hollywood, they are all big Hollywood companies with names and surnames, and even five of the eight major film companies are involved.

"What conditions did they offer?" Although they are not ready to sell, they are still ready to learn more about the situation here, so as to pave the way for the big move in the future.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" made a comeback in the United States, and the news soon spread to China.

The people who support Zhu Ziqing are naturally unusually happy. Our idol is a cow fork, and you can conquer foreign devils by writing a book. Didn't you disagree with it a few days ago, and the whole people ridiculed it? Why don't you scold it now?

If you don't accept it, you will be convinced.

Especially the two places of Seven Nights House and Zhu Ziqing Bar, these fans were like crazy when they learned the news, and they almost set off fireworks to celebrate.

A few days ago, many people crossed the wall and copied negative news from the US imperialist Internet to slap them in the face, and they really couldn't find an excuse to refute them in the face of the facts. I can't fight back if I am slapped in the face, let alone feel more aggrieved.

Now that the situation is reversed, how could they let go of such a good opportunity to counterattack and start to take the initiative to attack and slap their faces everywhere. That slap is loud, that's a raised eyebrow.

Those who gloated didn't dare to say anything even if they were unwilling, and came to the sentence "It's really shit luck" and then became a shrunken turtle.

Tao Yingshuang also told Zhu Ziqing the news of the film company's purchase of film and television adaptation rights as soon as possible. To be honest, he was really a little moved.

"Those companies are very expensive, and I think we can consider it. ”

"Don't worry, the big drama is still to come. In another month or two, you'll find out that the prices offered by these studios are simply worthless. Zhu Ziqing didn't even ask what conditions the other party offered.

Just kidding, in my previous life, this book created tens of billions of dollars in profits. Such a big piece of fat is given to someone else, unless his brain is broken.

And now the book's potential has not been tapped even one percent, and others just treat it as a best-selling novel. How high can the price be offered?

"Well, who made you the author, you have the final say. Tao Yingshuang was not persuading, he knew that Zhu Ziqing was an assertive person, and it was difficult to change the decision. And he also wanted to see if this book could hit the height that Zhu Ziqing depicted.

Lin Bao'er, who had just come out of the shower, was wearing a plush white home clothes, leaning on a large chinchilla doll, her hair pulled up and clamped with hairpins, revealing her slender and white neck, her cheeks were slightly ruddy, and her eyes were shining and looking at Zhu Ziqing.

When he hung up the phone, he said in a soft voice, "Are you going to make this movie yourself?"

"The parents who gave birth to me, and the Bao'er who knows me. Zhu Ziqing clasped his hands into fists and bowed pretendically.

The girl's big eyes turned into crescents, "Western magic background, I'm afraid our small company can't make it, right?"

"Not to mention our company, all domestic companies are counted, and only one or two can barely meet my requirements. Production is still the biggest problem, the biggest problem is distribution. The investment in this film is very large, and the estimated cost of only domestic distribution cannot be recovered. Zhu Ziqing sat down next to the girl, and naturally held her white and tender hand in her hand and played carefully.

Lin Bao'er's comfortable eyes narrowed, "Then the best way is to cooperate with Hollywood." Two investments, domestic issuance, we to do foreign to them. ”

"It's the best way to go. Zhu Ziqing nodded and said.

"Those capitalists of the US imperialists shouldn't be so easy to talk to, right?" Lin Bao'er adjusted her posture to make herself lie more comfortable.

"Definitely. But don't worry, when the potential of this book is really tapped, it is they who beg us to cooperate. Zhu Ziqing said confidently, "Besides, with the current situation of our company, cooperating with others is a joke." Therefore, the cooperation will have to wait until half a year later, and we will have to build DreamWorks in this half year. ”

"Well, do you have any plans?" the girl's pear vortex was shallow, and her eyes flashed with brilliance. (To be continued.) )
