Chapter 930: Reading
The popularity of any book is not an easy task.
Take the original Harry Potter on Earth as an example, after the first "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was put on the shelves, it only sold more than 100,000 copies in the UK in more than a year!
Of course, this figure is also staggering, enough to rank in the sales charts in the UK.
But everyone knows how big the gap is between it and the sales of tens of millions of copies when the next two episodes were first released. For example, the sixth-part half-blood prince sold more than 6 million copies on the first day in the United States alone, and the seventh part sold more than 8 million copies on the first day, with 12 million first printings!
Compared with the little magician, the results of "Han Bo and Spirit Stone" are simply weak.
The sales of 810,000 copies in the first week are already quite brilliant, and if it were other ordinary writers, even those big names would have such achievements, it would be enough to have a celebration banquet. But don't forget Lao Bai's current fame and the number of fans he has accumulated in the past. Even if it is not martial arts or a picture book that children like, the figure of more than 800,000 a week is still difficult to satisfy.
The only one who was overjoyed was probably the Light Wheel Press, because they had already started to work on the reprinting.
However, Sun Peng knew that such a result was reasonable.
Harry Potter's success actually began with entering the American market; Then Warner Bros. bought the rights to the film adaptation, which was the root cause of its success. So when there are only pure books, if it weren't for the addition of the name Lao Bai, let alone the sales of 800,000 copies in the first week, I'm afraid that selling 8,000 copies would make people steal the fun!
"So, it's not enough on its own!"
After seeing the results of his new book while filming "League of Assassins", Sun Peng couldn't help but secretly shook his head, and then let out a long sigh, and at the same time secretly made up his mind: "Not only the film adaptation of this set of books needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, but the film and television of martial arts should also be accelerated...... Well, in fact, they seem to have done a good job in the past two years, and they may be able to sell the rest of the basic adaptation rights......"
……
For what Sun Peng thought and thought, no one who bought "Han Bo and Lingshi" would care.
For example, Wang Yuecheng, who was just admitted to university this year, will not care about any sales or any impact on Lao Bai. The only thing he cares about now is this "Han Bo and Lingshi" that has just arrived, whether it looks good or not!
You know, that's forty-eight oceans!
Although after entering the university, Wang Yuecheng began to live on campus, so he can finally use a large amount of money in half a year. But after all, it is an ordinary family, Wang Yuecheng's daily expenses are still quite economical, and forty-eight yuan is enough to go out for a meal.
"Han Bo and Spirit Stone!"
Carefully stroking the thick cover with both hands, Wang Yuecheng carefully looked at a painting on it - a little boy who was obviously very young was riding a strange thing flying in the sky, and after looking at it a few times, Wang Yuecheng confirmed that it was a broom!
"Broomsticks? Isn't that a sorcerer's mount? ”
Widening his eyes vigorously, Wang Yuecheng felt very strange in his heart.
If Sun Peng was next to him at this time, he would inevitably pat him lightly on the shoulder and sigh helplessly: "Little brother, you must know that the success of any book is not accidental...... At least not all by chance! For the sake of the European and American markets, you may understand the compromises I made in this set of books? Besides, who said that wizards in China can't fly with brooms? The professors at Beijing Normal University said it didn't matter, it was okay......"
However, after the strange thought lingered for a moment, Wang Yuecheng quickly threw it aside.
The little boy who has always cherished his book carefully opened the first page, and then there was a clear and conspicuous line on the title page: "I would like to dedicate this book to the loveliest girl." ”
"Who's Niuniu?"
Blinking, Wang Yuecheng thought about it for a moment.
Of course, he froze for a moment, then skipped the table of contents, and opened the first page of the first chapter, Wang Yuecheng saw the title of the first chapter: "The Boy Who Died in Great Trouble". And below this title, the No. 5 character of Song Ti, which he is extremely familiar with and feels very comfortable, begins the text.
"Han Fugui and his wife, who live at No. 99 Chang'an Road, always say very proudly that they are very well-behaved people, and they never get involved in mysterious and strange things, because they never believe in those crooked ways!"
Han Fugui works as a supervisor in a machinery company, specializing in the production of drilling rigs. He was tall and burly, fat almost without a neck, but with a big beard; Mrs. Han was a thin woman with a neck almost twice as long as normal, so whenever she spends a lot of time snooping into the lives of her neighbors, the long neck comes in handy......"
"Huh? Strange! ”
Just after reading two paragraphs, Wang Yuecheng's brows furrowed.
Don't look at Wang Yuecheng's age, he has just read his first year of high school now. But since the second year of junior high school, people have been fans of Lao Bai martial arts, especially Tianlong Babu and Xiaoao Jianghu, which are simply liked to the bones, and many wonderful clips can almost be memorized. So when he saw Lao Bai's new book at this time, Wang Yuecheng instantly felt that he was taken aback!
This......
What is this?
Is this really Lao Bai's new book? Didn't someone else impersonate him, or find a gunman or something? This style of writing is simply a different person!
When I wrote "The Peerless Double Pride" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", I had already changed them once, but after all, Wang Yuecheng could still accept it, but this time, it would be ......
Suddenly changed from a full banquet to street food, this, how can this make people taste it?!
"Sizzle......"
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Wang Yuecheng hurriedly turned the new book to the front title page, and read the sentence "I would like to use this book to give the cutest Niu Niu first", and then the corners of his eyes began to jump vigorously: he had a hunch that his forty-eight yuan might be spent in vain......
……
"I'm sorry, but any of you are named Han Bo? The front desk received about a hundred of these letters......"
"Wow! Are there so many letters?! ”
When she heard her father talk about this, Zhao Zhihuo's daughter had already sat up from her bed, stared at a pair of big watery eyes and exclaimed, "Dad, who is going to write so many letters to Xiao Hanbo?" ”
"Well, you'll find out when you listen to it later!"
Rolling his eyes, Zhao Zhihuo had a headache about his daughter's exuberant curiosity.
Of course, it doesn't matter.
The important thing is that my daughter is obviously very interested in this "Han Bo and Lingshi", looking at the energetic appearance at this time, I am afraid that it is a little unrealistic to want her to go to bed early tonight......
