"December 31st, did they do it on purpose?"

On the way to the Light Wheel Publishing House, Liu Chang couldn't help but ask curiously: "As far as I know, if Xiaopeng doesn't have a new book on the market this year, there is no problem in keeping the top spot on the list of Chinese writers, but if you want to continue to win the top spot on the world writers list, I'm afraid it will be difficult, right?" ”

"Well, almost!"

Comfortably moving her posture, Sun Ya nodded with a smile and said: "And it is the top of the domestic writer list, and it only refers to the total sales, if you only count the sales of Chinese edition books, Xiaopeng may not be able to stand in the first place...... Oh, by the way, the December 31st release was not the publisher's plan, but my idea, and I suggested that they do it. ”

"You, that's too bad!"

Looking at Sun Ya with a weird smile on her face, Liu Chang was speechless for a moment.

"Bad? Hehe. ”

Pouting, Sun Ya raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I am Lao Bai's agent, and my consideration is naturally to maximize his interests, why should I take into account the feelings of others?" And both books are on the shelves on the 31st, and it's only one day to count this year's sales, if they can't win, what right to blame others? ”

The position of the champion of the year, Sun Ya certainly has ideas!

And more importantly, it's not this annual champion, but more importantly, last year's "No One Survives" sales exploded, allowing Sun Peng to win the world championship in one fell swoop, and if he wins another championship this time, it will be three consecutive championships!

In the world of sports, three consecutive championships is a dynasty.

Therefore, even if the manuscript was delivered in October, and the two books had to be translated into English and Japanese, under Sun Ya's strong request, the two publishing houses showed unprecedented efficiency and speed, and made printing and transportation plans in advance to ensure that the two sets of books could complete all preparations for the shelves before New Year's Day.

“……”

Regarding Sun Ya's attitude, Liu Chang naturally had nothing to say.

It sounds like this is indeed the truth, Lao Bai's new book is only on the shelves on the last day, and God knows how many copies will be sold? After all, it's a gap of millions of copies, and who dares to say that they can catch up in one day?

But......

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", and "Han Bo and Qingyunzhong", it seems to be only two books, but it is available in three languages! Moreover, Chinese and English are the most spoken languages in the world, covering almost the world's most developed economies, plus Japan, which ranks third, can almost be said to cover more than ninety percent of the world's book market.

That is, that's the equivalent of six books hitting shelves on the last day of the year!

Relatively speaking, although the author who is now at the top of the Chinese book ranking is of a high level, his works can hardly go abroad; Although the books of the suspense writer in New York can barely be regarded as a bestseller in the world, in non-English-speaking countries, such as China, Japan and other Asian countries, the influence is the level of ordinary writers, far from being comparable to the word Lao Bai!

What's more, Sun Peng's two new books are the fourth in the series!

The huge number of readers accumulated in the first four or five years is no joke. And according to the results of the reader satisfaction survey, as long as the fourth new book is released, the probability of old readers will definitely exceed 50%!

Who would dare to say that only one or two million copies can be sold on this day?

After all, in addition to the two publishing houses, there are also several film giants who are helping to promote it. In order to cooperate with the release of the book, Nanhai Pictures and Hollywood even vented in advance that day and decided to release the first version of the trailer of the second movie together on December 25, that is, Christmas this year!

How powerful is the super-giant sequel that grosses more than $1 billion at the box office, and is also a movie giant in China and Hollywood? used a trailer to announce next year's release plan, and at the same time told countless little wizard fans and little wizard fans that the fourth part of these two series is coming......

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Chang decided not to think about it.

If a huge number of fans really walked into bookstores on the first day, or placed orders to buy books in major online shopping malls, and forcibly pushed Sun Peng to the throne of the annual champion in one day, it will undoubtedly be a miracle in the field of book publishing and further push Lao Bai's reputation to the peak......

"Huh? That's not right! ”

Just as he was about to talk about the matter of arriving at the publishing house for a while, a thought suddenly flashed in Liu Chang's mind, and his eyes widened instantly: "Xiaoya, why do I always feel that something is not right?" Your day...... On December 31st? Now that both publishers have completed the translation, and have even begun to ask us to go over and re-sign the contract for the first printing, the rest of the time will be printed and the goods will be completed, so we don't have to wait until December 31st, right? ”

As long as you are willing to spend money, the so-called process is just for ordinary books, and it is not suitable for young wizards and little magicians at all.

For example, it basically takes a week to print a million books, and it is not impossible to go from a single list to the printing house to the delivery of one million books. But depending on the importance of the publishing house, when it comes to the little wizard and the little magician, it will be three days at most—they can't find only one printing house, and there must be several printing houses at the same time.

If you do that......

"Well, it could have been earlier."

Nodding, Sun Ya said calmly: "According to the calculation of the Light Wheel Publishing House, they will get the first batch of books around December 15 at the earliest, and then the shipment of hundreds of thousands of copies per day will be shipped to the warehouses of major distributors non-stop...... At the earliest, the twenty-seven or eight can be distributed! ”

"That ......"

Without waiting for Liu Chang to speak, Sun Ya chuckled and said, "What? Do you think why not start selling sooner? ”

"yes, why?"

Hey's rough brows, Liu Chang really couldn't figure it out.

If it is released a few days in advance, wouldn't it be easy to win the annual championship with Lao Bai's name and the number of fans accumulated in the two series of Little Wizard and Little Magic? As it is now, no one can guarantee how much it will sell on the last day, and there is no guarantee that Sun Peng will be able to surpass the two bigwigs in the writers' circle!

"It's simple, because that's what everyone needs!"

Taking a deep breath, Sun Ya said with a slightly strange expression: "Not only does the publishing house need a gimmick to make these two books more famous, but also the giants of Nanhai Pictures and Hollywood, they want to make the second Harry Potter part released next Christmas, more attention...... Think about it, what could be more sensational and legendary than staging a big reversal on the last day to help Lao Bai win the annual sales championship? ”

"My God......"

After listening to Sun Ya's words, Liu Chang suddenly gasped!

And this kind of operation?!

But after thinking about it, Liu Chang immediately shook his head and said: "It's still not right, even if it's so, if it succeeds, it will bring countless benefits to everyone, but ...... What if it fails? ”

"Failure? Impossible! ”

The expression on her face became even more strange, and Sun Ya smiled and said, "You also underestimate the giants of the publishing industry and the film industry!" Not completely sure, will they choose this option? Don't worry, even if the fans don't give their best, they will find a way to make the sales rush up......"
