"Print! Reprint now! ”

In the editor-in-chief's office at Seal Press, Anne? Carpenter waved his hands and shouted loudly: "I told you a long time ago, as long as Laobai's new movie is released, these picture books of his will definitely usher in a wave of sales**, you just don't believe it...... Now we have to reprint it right away, no doubt about it! ”

Looking at Anne with an excited face? Carpenter, including the editor-in-chief, Mr. Fergus, were slightly embarrassed.

In the past month, there has been considerable disagreement among several publishing house bigwigs on the topic of whether and if so, how much to print the "Sunflower Tales" and the books of Little Wizards and Little Magicians. As a staunch Laobai supporter, Annie? Carpenter insisted that it should be reprinted in advance, and it must be reprinted on a large scale, so as not to be caught off guard when sales increase sharply; But several other high-level officials, including the editor-in-chief, Mr. Fergus, remained skeptical of her opinion.

The last reprinted picture book and at least 100,000 copies are still in stock!

However......

After the release of the film, the request of the distribution department began to slap in the face.

It seems not surprising that "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" showed a strong dominance in its opening weekend as a fan-oriented fantasy blockbuster in the family carnival genre, and it was released during the summer vacation.

Huaxia has nearly 1.7 billion Chinese coins, and the box office of more than 200 million US dollars in the first weekend has earned both producers and distributors smiling at the same time.

Outside of China, North America won $71 million in the opening weekend, the United Kingdom won 9 million pounds, and the box office in continental Europe was also extremely dazzling, like all the filmmakers and audiences showed the influence of the name laobai in the West!

Coupled with the aftermath of "Zootopia", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" released at the end of last year, it naturally set off another wave of sales of Laobai's works!

The surging orders the next day alone far exceeded the inventory of Seal Press.

So Anne, who felt a little raised for a while? Carpenter immediately waved his hands in the editor-in-chief's office. And for her request, neither the editor-in-chief, Mr. Fergus, nor anyone else, seems to have any reason to object!

It's just that after a moment of silence, Mr. Fergus frowned and said, "Annie, I have no objection to printing it, but wouldn't it be too radical to print three million copies of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" at one time?" After all, it's just a movie coming out, is it necessary to print so much? And you also asked to print Laobai's other picture books and two sets at the same time, the number is still 1 million sets, so the pressure on our publishing house is too great! ”

If you calculate it, the number of reprints will exceed 10 million sets at one time!

This is not only the cost of printing, warehousing and logistics, but also the corresponding royalty share that the publisher must pay to laobai at the same time as printing, which is a huge amount!

As editor-in-chief, Mr. Fergus had to think about the consequences of doing so!

"Gentlemen, do you think that's a lot?"

After looking around, Annie? Carpenter said seriously: "I wonder if you have forgotten what it was like when "Zootopia" was released last year? And the earlier "The Lion King" and "Frozen"? Within a month of the release of "Zootopia", Laobai's picture books sold an average of 700,000, and the first two earlier films also approached 400,000 each! Gentlemen, we can't underestimate the power of Hollywood's super-productions! ”

"However, this is the work of a Chinese person!"

For Annie? Carpenter's statement, there are clearly dissenting opinions.

"Huaxia? What happened to the Huaxia people? ”

After hearing this, Annie? Carpenter immediately pricked up his eyes: "Mr. Fiat, I think I have to remind you of your professionalism!" I know that Laobai is now causing a huge controversy in Europe, because many people believe the words on the Internet and think that he is invading the Western world with his works...... But you have to face up to one thing, that is, no matter what country Laobai is from, he is the most important author of our seal publishing house, and there is no one! ”

The fierce gaze made the Mr. Fiat quickly avoid Anne's gaze.

I have to say, Annie? Carpenter grabbed him at once!

That's right, Mr. Fiat did get ...... on the Internet No, it should be said that it is the influence of the mainstream media in Europe, which is quite dissatisfied with Laobai, who wants to invade the Western world with culture.

But in the same way, he also has to admit Annie? Carpenter's words.

Today, these picture books under the name of laobai can sell more than 10 million sets in Europe, North America and other markets every year, and they are not just the kind that have just crossed the 10 million threshold! Every time a new book comes out, or a movie based on one of these works is released, there is a sales frenzy, and last year alone, 19 million copies were sold!

This figure means that Seal Press has a huge income.

You must know that in addition to laobai, the second-ranked author of their publishing house only sells more than 8 million copies of his works annually, which is not an order of magnitude at all.

"Damn, that guy is so good at catching the subject!"

Because you can't refute it, and you even have to avoid Anne? Carpenter's gaze made Mr. Fiat feel ashamed, and he couldn't help but secretly scold the laobai who was far away in East Asia.

Not to mention the Little Wizard series and Little Wizard series, which have attracted countless young fans in Europe, just this set of picture books of "Sunflower Story Collection" is basically the favorite genre of European and American children. Even "Mulan", which seems to be pure Chinese core, is not the worst seller in the record of Seal Press, but ranks in the top two!

How the hell did that guy come up with these works?

In fact, if this is the case, the name laobai is far from reaching the current level, as long as a new book comes out, it can be sought after by countless people. The point is that that guy is not just a writer, but also a composer, a screenwriter, and even a director and advertising master!

Such a magical guy, there are so many fans that it is heartbreaking.

And this is precisely the reason why Mr. Fiat, a publisher who has always been rational, would resist Laobai as a person, or some of the things he represents, because of those groundless speculations on the Internet or in the media......

It's a pity, Annie? Carpenter's words hit Fiat's seven inches at once.

At this time, it was Mr. Fergus's turn to come out and play the round, and Zhengse said: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we have been discussing the reprinting of the "Sunflower Tales", the Harry Potter series and the Hanbo series for a whole day, and now it is time to come to a conclusion!" ”

After a pause at this point, Mr. Fergus continued: "Then let's vote in the simplest and most democratic way of decision......
