The media's sense of smell is very sensitive, and anomalies are quickly detected. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Save the Earth" crushed all the books of the same period, including "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer", and there is no objection to that. Just look at the sales, 230,000 copies on the first day, and less than 100,000 in second place.

On the second day, sales reached 310,000 copies, more than the top five combined. Sales on the third and fourth days also remained at 300,000 copies. It wasn't until the fifth day that 300,000 fell out, and on the sixth day, 200,000 fell out, and there were only 190,000 copies.

But no one thinks there's anything wrong with that. The reason why the sales were so high a few days ago was that the popularity accumulated from the first book was at work, and most of the hardcore fans would have bought the book in a bunch a few days ago.

After the popularity of die-hard fans has passed, it all depends on word of mouth. It's normal for sales to drop. After fans consume it, the sales volume can still remain above 100,000 copies, which is enough to show the excellence of this book.

And the sales of "Harry Potter and the Wizard", which claimed to be going to fight with it in advance, did not add up to more than a day in the first five days, and the dog head that was naturally scolded was bloody. The media spared no room for scolding, and readers were also in a good mood for scolding. To make you arrogant, the yellow-skinned monkey is just not as good as us white people.

If there are no accidents, everyone's attention to Harry Potter and the Wizard will stop there. Everyone is busy, and a clown jumping off a beam is not worth paying attention to.

The media is also ready to divert attention from this plate of cold rice. Fried cold rice generally has no market, which is not in line with their ultimate goal.

At this time, however, the Los Angeles Daily Journal went against the tide and published a very different commentary. Let "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer", which is about to fade out of people's sight, come to the front of the stage again.

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer, a failure? Succeed? ”

The author of this article must have read the book and liked it very much, thinking that although it is not in the same genre as "Save the Earth", the quality is not bad at all, and even slightly better in terms of readability. The commentator praised it so much in the article that it almost said that the author was the hand of God.

The commentator is also an experienced man, and knows that far from being effective, empty talk can be perceived as grandstanding. So at the end of the article, he also listed the sales chart of "Harry Potter and the Wizard" for the week.

Through this graph, you can clearly see that the sales of this scolded worthless work are rising at an average rate of nearly 7,000 per day. By the seventh day, it had climbed to 78,000 copies, making it the third bestseller on the single-day bestseller list.

"Mr. Tao, admire and admire, this counterattack is just right." Early in the morning, when Tao Yingshuang was still sleeping, he received a call from Wei Zhixing.

"Old Wei? Why did you call so early, and what did you say to fight back? Why can't I understand? Tao Yingshuang said sleepily.

"Haven't gotten up yet? Mr. Tao, you have to be temperate. Wei Zhixing explained in the tone of a person who had come over.

"Temperate a fart, yesterday I made an international call to China, and I didn't sleep until midnight when we talked. I just closed my eyes and got a call from you. Tell me what the hell is going on, if you can't satisfy me, see how I clean you up. Tao Yingshuang said angrily.

"Didn't you find someone to send that report from the Los Angeles Daily News?" Wei Zhixing is not stupid, although Tao Yingshuang has not yet answered, it is still easy to find the answer from his words.

This matter is not Tao Yingshuang's handiwork, otherwise he would not have reacted in this way. So I was surprised. It's not propaganda that is bought with money, does someone take the initiative to do good things and fight for them? When did the American imperialists become so warm-hearted?

"Los Angeles Daily? What's wrong, scolding us again? Tao Yingshuang's brain was still a mess, and he didn't hear the meaning of Wei Zhixing's words.

"It's not scolding us, it's speaking for us. I can't tell you on the phone, so get up and take a look for yourself. Take advantage of this opportunity, and if I'm not mistaken, the opportunity we were waiting for has arisen. Wei Zhixing said happily.

"Opportunity?" Tao Yingshuang woke up all of a sudden, he finally knew what Wei Zhixing was going to say, he got up from the bed and walked out the door, "Hang up first, I'll call you later." ”

After a simple wash, I rushed to the company without even eating breakfast. Before I walked to the door of the office, I saw Side, April and other future executives of the company coming towards them, and everyone was happy.

"Mr. Tao, good news, good news." Sid and the others also saw Tao Yingshuang, and they heard him shout from afar.

"Let's go, let's go into the office." Tao Yingshuang held back his curiosity and took everyone to the office. After they sat down, they couldn't wait to ask, "What's the matter?" ”

"This morning the famous book critic Alfred Hitchcock published a book review in the Los Angeles Daily News, praising Harry Potter and the Wizard. This review has already been reprinted by many online media outlets......" said Sid excitedly.

Not only was he excited, but there was no one here who was not excited. They are all people who have been selected to do things for New Saint Martin.

Since they have taken refuge in Tao Yingshuang, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope. Tao Yingshuang is sad if this book fails, but they will also become the laughing stock of the industry, and they will almost cut off the road in the future.

The increasing sales have made half of their hanging hearts down, but the full screen of bad reviews makes them unable to let go of the other half of their hanging hearts.

After seven days of anticipation and a week of worry, they finally ushered in a turnaround, how could they not be happy.

Hitchcock was a well-known book critic and was very influential in the readership, and he publicly praised the book as a catalyst for a change of attitude and a gradual reversal of word of mouth. It should be said that word of mouth has begun to reverse now. Sid continued.

"Today is the eighth day, and the first people who bought the book must have read it long ago, and according to common sense, there should be a formal book review. But this book was scolded so badly that no one dared to stand up and speak for us. Occasionally, when someone publishes a public review of a book, he will be scolded by a large number of people, so that no one dares to speak for us......"

"It's not that our books aren't good enough, it's that the impression left on everyone some time ago is really bad. Without a single heavyweight to speak, it is difficult for word of mouth to be reversed. Hitchcock was such a man, and in the world of book criticism his words were authority......"

This is also true of the fact that after Hitchcock's book review was published, many media outlets reprinted it. Many people who have read our books have also begun to stand up and express their true opinions under his leadership. ”

"The print media doesn't know the situation yet, but more and more people are praising Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on the Internet......"

The more Sid spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he couldn't help but stand up and wave his fists: "Our long-awaited turnaround has appeared. (To be continued.) )
