Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The incident of being born in Atlanta was finally suppressed by forces from all sides, and almost no news was found in the newspapers. As for the people in the touring group, most of them were warned not to tell anyone else.

Shortly after returning to New York, Alex was stopped by Carl, the editor in charge, before he could catch his breath.

"Alex! I've been looking for you for a long time, why don't you call me back. ”

In the face of Carl's questioning, Alex could only pretend not to know, and he asked rhetorically: "You called me?" I don't know, it must be the person below who didn't turn the call. ”

"Alright, alright! Say no more, I'm here to ask you for your next book. ”

Of course, Carl knew that Alex would not admit it, but he had no choice but to keep the topic close and prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to pull it away. The Harry Potter book series is almost finished, and the last one is about to go on sale. The purpose of his visit this time was to confirm the plan for the next book with Alex, who would have expected Alex to say that he hadn't thought about it.

Faced with such an answer, Carl almost vomited blood in anger, but he had to find a way to get Alex ready.

Since the publication of the first Harry Potter book in 195o, the book has been selling well, and sales have been increasing. Alex's version of "Harry Potter" follows the routine of fast food literature, and it is surprising that it can sell so well in this era.

Many people have accused the book of being a little unwritten and lacking in style. But the plot, setting, upgrades, and fights in it are all refreshing, especially for children who are fascinated by this novel. Now there are some people who are following the trend and writing the same type of novels, and they can even achieve good results.

No matter what kind of criticism and follow-up there are, Alex's novels are still a big hit in the book market. Of course, there are various reasons why the novels sell well, one of which is that the marketing methods of Bantan Books are very successful. Under Alex's leadership, they employ anti-marketing, mystery, gimmick, and hunger marketing, among other things.

In the face of this strange and novel marketing method. Almost all of these people in the fifties took the bait. As a result, world sales records continue to be broken by the Harry Potter books.

The first two books may not have broken any world records because they had not yet gained enough popularity. But when Harry Potter 3 was released, 5oo copies were sold in the United States in just one day. This record dwarfs the number of other books sold, not even The Lord of the Rings.

Even more surprising was that Part 4 sold 670,000 copies in one day. Alex set a new sales record for himself, and this day. Worldwide sales of up to 1ooo million copies. In other words, within a second, 4oo books were purchased by readers around the world.

There are more than one of the following films, with the 5th part recording 1.35o copies, and the 6th part 1.52o million copies. Now, the last one is about to hit the market. People are curious to see if the sales record of the day can exceed 2ooo million copies.

There was a bookstore that was about to close down and was brought back to life by selling Harry Potter books. The owner told reporters: "I have never seen such a good book, and the other books I have sold in my life are not as many as this book." ”

Among the top 10 best-selling books in the United States according to USA Today, "Harry Potter" easily took four of the top 5 rankings. The book has also been translated into more than 6o languages around the world, including North Germanic, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Swahili, Ukrainian, Afrikaans, and more. A total of about 135 million copies were sold.

This book has become a major profit point for Bantan Books. Over the past few years, the company's exhibition has become bigger and bigger, but its dependence on "Harry Potter" has also become more and more deep. It's almost fair to say that without Harry Potter, the company would have laid off more than half of its workforce.

Alex basically writes at least one book a year for Bandan Books, and in some years he writes two in a row, with this year being the last. After this book, he has no intention of continuing to write a book for the time being. This made Bantan Books very anxious. Then Carl felt the pressure.

Carl is now considered a successful person, and has been promoted to the editor-in-chief of Bandan Books, and his only task is to take care of Alex and find a way to keep Alex writing. If he doesn't write one day, it will be his end.

Now, that day has finally arrived.

"Carl! Cal! Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I only plan to write 12 Harry Potter books. ”

"I know. I know. However, you can find a way to keep writing, there is still a lot to write. For example, Harry Potter's feelings, and after ascending to the Holy Spirit Mage. What kind of challenges will there be, etc."

In the books, Harry Potter ends up being the first living divine mage of all time! In terms of combat effectiveness, no one can compete with him.

"Well, I only planned to write 7 books, but now it's good to increase to 12 books. What else do you want? ”

Yes, the Harry Potter series is no longer Aunt Rowling's book. Under Alex's roughly special change, only the creative and some of the main characters are from Aunt Rowling, and everything else is very different from the original.

In Alex's version, Harry can be described as bullish, a guy who belongs to people blocking and killing, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha. Even if you encounter a setback by chance, you can quickly fight back. There are also various treasure hunting adventures, which make Europeans and Americans who have not experienced the baptism of martial arts look very happy.

In terms of feelings, Harry did not suddenly get involved with Ginny like in the original, but played with ambiguity. Especially with Hermione and Luna, there is always an inexplicable relationship in it. This relationship is maintained until the end of the book without giving an answer, making the reader eager to jump into the book and ask who Harry really likes.

It is impossible to enter the world of books, so just ask the author himself. As a result, Alex received a barrage of letters, all asking the question, "Who did Harry end up with?" ”

Alex has been avoiding this issue. He knew that if he got the readers' wishes, the books would not sell.

Alex understood what Bill meant, but he didn't want to continue writing. At least this book, he didn't plan to continue writing.

"Why don't you open a new book!" Carl didn't convince Alex. I had to find another way.

"Open a new book?"

Alex had some idea of the idea, but he didn't have anything he wanted to write about at the moment. He's a lazy guy who won't act without enough reason and excitement. Writing books now, for him, is completely interest-driven, and the money he makes can't be as much as records and investments.

"That's right. Think about it. ”

"Let's not talk about this question for a while, I want to ask, the last "Harry Potter" is about to be released, do you have any marketing methods? Do you have to go to the book signing? ”

Carl's purpose in coming this time was not only to persuade Alex to write a book, but also to confirm the signing with Alex. Originally. Alex left a message on the phone, saying that he wanted to cancel the book signing, which made them feel very embarrassed.

To this question, Karl immediately replied: "After all, it is the last book, and it is too much to say without a book signing." You know, 12 books. You've only been to one book signing. ”

Alex frowned when he heard this, and he remembered the signing at the beginning. To this day, he still reflexively feels sour in his fingers.

Karl saw that Alex was showing signs of wavering, so he added: "Finally, the book signing will definitely go, and you agreed to it at the beginning." You have to talk the talk, and you can't go back! ”

"Wasn't it okay at the time, but now I suddenly realize that I don't have enough time."

For such accusations. Alex was helpless, not because he wanted to break his promise, but because there was a reason for it. He vaguely felt some palpitations, as if something dangerous was waiting in front of him. As soon as I thought about it, I thought of the FBI agents surrounding him all day, and my heart was even more unhappy.

Keeping one's word is a virtue, though. He didn't want to throw it away just yet.

"Okay, then you can arrange it, especially the safety work at the signing meeting site. Don't show a hint of confusion once there are signs of this. I'm going to end the signing early. ”

After getting Alex's confirmation, Carl was finally relieved. One of the two problems has been solved, and as for the other, we have to continue to work harder.

"Alex, do you have any movies you have been making lately?" Carl suddenly changed the subject.

"Movies? Not yet, how are you interested in this? ”

"Not really, I just thought it would be great if Harry Potter could be made into a movie."

Alex laughed and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to wait many years before it can be made into a movie, otherwise it won't reach the level described in the novel." ”

He knew that this novel really had to have a huge impact like that of later generations, and if he didn't make a movie, he wouldn't be able to achieve that kind of Cheng dù. However, the current level of special effects in movies is miserable, and even a movie like Star Wars can't be made, let alone a special effects blockbuster like "Harry Potter" in later generations.

However, Carl reminded him of one thing, and that was the Harry Potter comics. Since throwing this to Stan? After Li and them, Alex didn't pay attention. After all, there are so many things, of course, it is important to pay attention to. The comic book company is only a million dollars in the sky, and even if it loses, it is nothing.

It is said that the manga sold well, and as for how good it is, he did not get into the depths. Now he has an idea to book the book with the comics, and then there will be no other than Stan? Li, the main creators of comics, attended together, at least they could share some of the pressure.

So, he immediately called Marvel and asked how things were going with the Harry Potter comics. After asking, this comic is now a big hit with the novel. Especially now, other comic companies are limited in their creation because of the subject matter, and many comic companies are bankrupt and bankrupt.

Only Marvel's "Harry Potter" is not only liked by children in terms of subject matter, but also pleasing to parents, and the important thing is that the painting style is unique, not as realistic and rough as other European and American comics.

For the book signing with the novel, Marvel Company was of course overjoyed. Alex then went back and asked Carl to discuss the matter with the marketing department of Bantan Books. Soon got a reply, and the Bantan Book Club was also full of promises.

However, Alex wants Stan? Li also attended the signing of the building yì was vetoed. Because it's unreliable, Alex and Stan? The fame of Li and the others cannot be compared, and no company will agree to do this.

Stan? Lee himself refused to attend the book signing, and he didn't want to be alone behind his desk and watch Alex's crowd surge.

Alex thought about it for a moment, and then stopped insisting. In this way, the plan was decided, and the people of the two companies got together to discuss how to work together. Of course, there is no need to trouble Alex for specific things, he just needs to come up with an idea and let the people below implement it.
