At the end of early August, Sun Peng's two sets of new books were on the shelves.

"Heaven and Dragon Slayer" by Shuxiang Publishing House and "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe" by Sunflower Publishing House have been on the shelves of major websites such as Chaffe.com, and have also been placed on the sales counters of major physical bookstores.

It's just that two sets of books by the same author get very different treatment.

Under the coordination of the Scholar Publishing House, Yitian packed boxes directly in the printing factory and was sent to the major distributors by the logistics company, and the physical bookstore that received the goods not only put the new books on the shelves as soon as possible, but also hung up advertising posters sent together; Websites such as Guhu.com began to give a preview of the new book a few days in advance, and the words of the martial arts author Lao Bai's new book are very eye-catching!

But the treatment of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is far from it.

Although Sunflower Publishing House is also very active, after all, there are only 25,000 copies of the first printing, and it is impossible to achieve the same formation as Yitian. And for dealers, although Sunflower has repeatedly emphasized that this is a new work by authors such as Condor Shooting and Xiaoao, they are still confused, and it is difficult to pay real attention to it - to write chivalrous pictures instead? Isn't that?

And why didn't the Book Publishing House notify you Sunflower to publish?

Of course, the most important thing is that Sunflower Publishing is not willing to spend money!

Publicity requires a cost, and the first printing of Yitian is one million sets, and the Scholar Publishing House is naturally willing to spend this money. But in the case of not seeing the prospect clearly, the sunflower first print buckles the rope, and it is impossible to think about spending a lot of money on publicity, and the only thing that can be relied on is the name of Sun Peng, the author.

Sun Peng did not disappoint them either, and advertised "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe" for three days in a row, guaranteeing that millions of readers would see the news......

……

"I'll go, Lao Bai actually drew a children's picture book!"

After getting off work at night and watching the advertisements at the end of Tianlong and Luding Ji, Zhao Zhihuo suddenly shouted: "Wife, wife, come out and see the comics!" ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

The wife, who was washing her daughter's clothes, poked her head out of the bathroom and asked curiously.

"Haha, Lao Bai actually drew a picture book!"

Running to the door of the bathroom with his mobile phone, Zhao Zhi Huo Le said haha: "Look, the name is "The Lion, the Witch and the Magic Wardrobe", a set of ten books, suitable for children between five and twelve years old...... Do you say funny? He actually drew a children's picture book for a martial arts writer, or a set of ten books! ”

"Poof!"

Looking at the postscript on the screen, Zhao Zhihuo's wife was also happy.

Sure enough, it's funny!

Although they are all Lao Bai's fans now, Zhao Zhihuo and his wife know very well what Lao Bai wrote! Martial arts, the adult fairy tale in his mouth, this is almost universally recognized, but is this thing suitable for children? Now you suddenly say that you have drawn a set of picture books, and you still show them to children......

"Wife, do you want to ...... Shall we buy a set for our daughter? ”

Holding back a smile, Zhao Zhihuo asked with a strange expression.

"Phew! Don't you dare! ”

Glaring at Zhao Zhihuo, his wife said angrily: "Who knows if this guy will write a children's version of Lu Ding Ji?" Do you dare to show your child this kind of thing? ”

"Haha, how is that possible? You're thinking too much. ”

Haha laughed again, Zhao Zhihuo shook his head again and again.

Even if Lao Bai dares to write something like that, will the Sunflower Publishing House dare to publish it? Not afraid of smashing the signboard of your own publishing house?

And anyway, she also has a daughter, Zhao Zhihuo buys her picture books on weekdays, and her daughter's small bookcase is almost full, many of which are from Sunflower Publishing House. So Zhao Zhihuo also knows the status and strength of this publishing house in the field of children's books, and he doesn't believe that Lao Bai really drew a set of weird picture books.

In this way, the idol's new book is naturally supported!

"Uh...... It's just a bit expensive. ”

Listening to Zhao Zhihuo's explanation, his wife immediately understood, but after looking at the pricing, she was still a little dissatisfied and muttered.

"It's not expensive, there are ten copies!"

Zhao Zhihuo, who often buys books for his daughter, hurriedly shook his head, and then showed his wife his mobile phone: "Look at the number of pages, the quality of painting and printing, at most it is the price level of ordinary picture books!" ”

At this time, Zhao Zhihuo had already opened the interface of the new book of Chaff.com, and then pulled it to his wife to see the effect. The new book website will put some simple introductions, including a few scans of the text, and this book "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is directly scanned on ten pages, and the effect is quite amazing!

"Hmm...... It looks good! ”

After a few glances, but didn't find any unhealthy content, my wife finally nodded and said, "Okay, you can do it...... Ouch, if you really bought this set of picture books, wouldn't it mean that our whole family will be Lao Bai's readers in the future? ”

"Haha, it's really, this is the rhythm of killing the whole family!"

Zhao Zhihuo was also happy when he heard it, and said with a smile while clicking on the purchase casually: "Isn't this right?" When the girl grows up, these martial arts physical books we bought will have a place to go, and there is no need to throw them there and press the bottom of the box......"

……

A week later, the Sun family's old house.

After putting down the phone in his hand, Sun Peng sat down next to his girlfriend again and said with a smile: "Just now it was the phone call of Sunflower Publishing House, and the sales of "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe" came out...... Of course, it was only the sales of chaff nets, with 270 sets on the first day and more than 2,400 sets in the first week! ”

"Huh? So little? ”

Hearing this number, Zheng Jia's eyes widened in surprise.

Not long ago, Sun Peng just received a call from Zheng Ye, editor of Shuxiang Publishing House, who also came to report the sales of the first week. is also on the chaff network, and at the same time, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" sold 16,000 sets on the first day, and 15,000 sets on the first 65,000 sets, instantly breaking into the top of the list, and for the first time, Sun Peng's stood at the top of the list!

This one......

That's awesome!

It ranked first in the first week on the shelves, thanks to Sun Peng Tianlong's current millions of collections!

Compared with the sales of more than 1,000 sets in the first week of the Condor on the shelves, it is simply an earth-shaking growth! And standing at the top of the list for the first time also made Sun Peng's status in the physical publishing industry instantly improve a lot!

That's why after listening to the sales of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", Zheng Jia was so surprised, because the two are from the same author, and the gap is really ......

"Haha, that's pretty good."

Thinking of the sales of Condor Shooting at the beginning, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Especially this kind of children's picture book, if there is no subscription from my readers, do you believe that selling ten sets a week is a success?" ”

Not only Sun Peng thinks so, but so does the editor of Sunflower.

In the field of martial arts, Sun Peng is a top bull and a mountain monster level, but in children's picture books, he is a pink newcomer! Unless the Scholar Publishing House is willing to cooperate with the publicity, at most, Internet fans will notice it first. But for the sake of Sun Peng's works in other societies to do publicity?

The editors of the People's Scholar Publishing House did not have their heads squeezed by the door.

However, most of the martial arts fans on the Internet are young people, and the real physical fans are the older ones who buy children's picture books, and they are not so quick to notice who the author of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is.

So if you want to see the true potential of this set of books, you have to wait patiently for a while.

After the readers who bought the book finished reading and explaining to the children, and then put the evaluation up, it will affect more book buyers; If the website or publisher sees that the sales are good, give a few better recommendations......

And the sales volume of Chaff Network exceeded 2,000 in a week, and the sales of the whole network plus physical bookstores were at least more than 10,000, which is almost half of the first printing, so what is there to dissatisfaction with? Didn't you hear from the editor just now that their publishing house has already started to think about reprinting?

explained it to Zheng Jia in detail, and she understood.

But after understanding, Zheng Jia still said with some loss: "I really hope that more children can see this set of books, those children in the welfare home like it very much!" ”

"Well, don't worry."

Nodding, Sun Peng said with a smile: "When the next "Frozen" comes out, I believe it will be different from this set of "Lion, Witch and Magic Wardrobe"!" ”

"Hmm...... Hey, by the way, why do you always draw stories that take place abroad? ”

Suddenly remembering something, Zheng Jia asked curiously.

"Uh......"

Rolling his eyes, Sun Peng was a little speechless.

He wants to draw some domestic ones, but who made the domestic animation in his previous life so uncompetitive? Do you want him to paint "Havoc in Heaven" or "The Return of the Great Sage"? Is it good that this world also has Journey to the West, what should you do when you draw that future movie adaptation? Is it good that people can imitate it in minutes?

But well......

After hesitating for a while, Sun Peng immediately said with a smile: "Didn't I consider the hope of entering overseas, next, next picture book, I will draw our Chinese story ......"
