Chapter 414: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" did not become a hit.
After learning from Ku Ku that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" had been released and was about to be released globally, within a few days, Lu Anzhi saw that the topic of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was overwhelming.
"The first in China to be sold simultaneously in the world."
"What is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone about?"
"Analyzing the story from the trailer, what kind of story is Harry Potter."
"Lu Anzhi's first magic theme, the gold content of the world's simultaneous debut."
"Reliable analysis, why can Lu Anzhi's be launched simultaneously in the world?"
He looked at the content in the micro-talk and various news links and marveled, but he didn't expect that a "global simultaneous debut" would make this book, which has not yet been released to readers, become popular.
But think about it, in this world, the concept of global simultaneous debut has always been played abroad, and it is rarely played in China.
And even if they play abroad, they have selectively ignored the domestic market. It's as if the land of Kyushu isn't on a global scale.
In other countries, basically after the domestic fire is popular, foreign publishers will select it, translate it into a foreign language version after they like it, and then publish it in a small amount in a suitable area, and then increase the printing volume after making sure that the sales volume is okay.
For example, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is basically only on the shelves in Southeast Asia.
But Lu Anzhi is different.
He has "The Little Prince" and "Luan's Short Fairy Tale Collection". After a year of fermentation, these two films have become incredibly popular overseas. Matique Biondini and their promotion at the Pretty Country Rock Festival inexplicably opened the door for these two books from the mysterious country of the East, and the sales of these two films continued to increase.
Therefore, now after knowing that another fairy tale masterpiece by Lu Anzhi in the mysterious country of the East has been completed, overseas publishers quickly submitted the intention of co-publishing and reviewed the manuscript.
The imaginative, well-structured world of wonder appealed to almost everyone, and no one would have overlooked the title of author of Lu Anzhi's famous fairy tale "The Little Prince" during this review process, which gave this "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" a completely different treatment from the opening scene of the previous life.
So, the goods were spread out, and the publicity began.
There are also domestic compatriots abroad who carry the comments on foreign websites and translate them and send them to Weihua, such as "The famous fairy tale writer XXX in the beautiful country said that he is looking forward to Lu Anzhi's new book", "The Little Prince" overseas evaluation", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" overseas pre-order" and so on, have attracted a lot of attention.
Song Xiaoqin also showed great interest when she saw this kind of micro-talk, and said to Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin: "Why does this kind of micro-talk seem to be very popular? Yours can go to sea, are netizens so happy? ”
Lu Anzhi thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be just." If you get an account, how people abroad blow about China every day, it is estimated that it will also be popular. ”
There were a lot of such situations in his previous life, when the promotional video of "Black Myth Wukong" was released, he also watched many well-known foreign game anchors watching the videos of "Black Myth Wukong" on station B.
But the people of this world have obviously never seen anything like this. Song Xiaoqin was surprised and said, "Can it still be like this?" ”
Lu Anzhi nodded and said, "Yes, this is the traffic password." You open a company, recruit a group of foreigners, post micro-chats and videos on the domestic Internet every day, blow about how good the country is, talk about how bad it is abroad, and I don't want to return to China if the country is so good, maybe you can make a lot of money. ”
But that's just a lip service for now. If such a traffic password really wants to get enough traffic support and then monetize, it will have to wait until the short video era comes. The number of netizens is still too small to support this market.
But if you really want to do it, you can make one or two foreigners popular in this way, and then rub the entertainment industry or something like that, and make money in China, maybe you can still do it.
- Of course, the premise is that this foreigner has a little ability, such as talk shows, singing, etc., and can't just blow hard like those foreigners in his previous life.
Song Xiaoqin and Zhang Suxin unceremoniously expressed their disdain for Lu Anzhi's suggestion: "I didn't expect that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would also come up with such a conscienceless way to make money!" ”
Lu Anzhi said innocently: "How can I lose my conscience!" I just said it casually, and I didn't put it into practice! And it doesn't matter if you don't want to make money at home, get a few people to go abroad to blow abroad, saying that they don't want to return to China or something, it's the same. ”
Song Xiaoqin: "......"
Zhang Suxin: "......"
Lu Anzhi: "Or you can change your thinking, find people in China, go to live abroad, and then send how bad it is to go abroad, regret going abroad, etc., maybe you can do it." At the beginning of this kind of mouth, you can also be hard-mouthed, and talk about the full moon abroad, so that the attitude will be reversed later, and everyone will love to watch it. It's called an electronic pet. ”
Zhang Suxin: "......"
Song Xiaoqin rolled her eyes as she learned from Zhang Suxin: "You said that you have made so much money, why do you still think of these messy money-making ideas?" ”
Lu Anzhi shouted wronged: "I didn't think about it! I'll open my mouth and come. ”
Song Xiaoqin: "......"
Zhang Suxin: "......"
Xian Xian: "Hey, hey! Daddy will come when he opens his mouth! ”
The little guy unconsciously learned an idiom from Lu Anzhi.
Song Xiaoqin and Zhang Suxin's attention was shifted to Xian Xian. Song Xiaoqin rubbed her slender little face and said, "Slender is awesome, I learned to speak idioms all of a sudden!" ”
Xian Xian didn't just know an idiom, she was praised by Song Xiaoqin, and when she wanted to get up, she immediately gave Song Xiaoqin a performance and said the idiom: "Open your mouth and come!" Sling the bull! Bow left and right! ”
The idioms of the little ones all have their origins. For example, if you just learn to open your mouth, you can come. Another example is nonsense, she once used a child's thinking to say some nonsense, and Zhang Suxin said her "nonsense", and she remembered it in her heart.
And "opening the bow left and right" is the way she uses both small hands when eating, Miao Suqin said to her: "You still open the bow left and right when you eat." She also took it to heart.
A few adults laughed and played with Xian Xian, and the topic just now was quickly put aside.
And Lu Anzhi's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was published simultaneously around the world, and it was not mentioned by them again as the topic ended.
Anyway, they don't need to pay attention to this news all the time. Before the official release, this news will always break into their field of vision when they turn on the mobile phone WeChat.
The popularity of the topic itself is one thing, and it is impossible for the new micro company to ignore the boss's topic and let the heat drop.
Therefore, the topic of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has always been hot on WeChat. The micro-talk is hot, and the discussion on this topic in other places will not be cold.
Soon, the time came for the day of the global simultaneous debut. This brand new fairy tale was placed in the Sanwei Book House and Baicaotang, and it was quickly sold out.
The same is true for most other bookstores. Only in the more remote bookstores will the books sell more slowly.
After a day, the overseas sales data were also summarized in real time. Most of the places also sold quickly, and only a few places did the books sell a little slower.
"The Little Prince" and "Luan's Short Fairy Tales" slowly unfolded and accumulated scenes, but did not happen in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". This book, because of the author's fame brought by "The Little Prince" and "Lu'an's Short Fairy Tale Collection", as well as the publicity that started in advance, showed unimaginable popularity as soon as it hit the shelves.
A week later, the publishers aggregated the week's sales data and released the unimaginable global sales data, and the popularity of this film reached a new level, ushering in another wave of buying frenzy.
This kind of grand occasion has not only been seen in China, but also abroad.
What I haven't seen in China is a book written by someone from my own country, which can be so popular abroad, and what I haven't seen abroad is that the sales volume of a book in the first week can be so large - after all, the number of people in China is far greater than that abroad.
Coupled with the quality of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" itself, it is normal to have such a high popularity and sales.
Among them, the United Kingdom in particular has the highest sales.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a story based on the Kingdom of Britain. And under the maple tree, in order to make this accident full of stories, he also wrote the words of Lu Anzhi and the bitter nonsense on the title page-
After starting his writing career, Lu Anzhi spent three years traveling all over the world. He met a retired pilot while in Frank, and thus wrote The Little Prince. While riding a train in Britain, he saw a little boy with glasses and a lightning scar on his forehead, and the story of the little boy and magic suddenly broke into his mind.
After knowing "The Little Prince" and confirming that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a very good fairy tale, Britons are full of interest in the indissoluble fate of Luan and Britain.
Bitter is smiling from ear to ear today. As the core person in charge of the global simultaneous publication of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" this time, she will also earn a lot of bonuses from the operation of this book, and she feels that she will not have to worry about it for the rest of her life. How could she not be happy?
She couldn't help but say to Lu Anzhi in Qiuqiu: Boss B, you are so popular now, just go abroad to hold a signing meeting, I'm afraid you can block the road abroad. There is no other author in China who can do this.
When Lu Anzhi saw the bitter Qiuqiu news, he asked: What do you want to say?
Kuku: Hey, hey! Boss B, should we go abroad to do a signing? You don't want to do it at home, but it's okay abroad, right?
Lu Anzhi: I'm idle! I don't want to do it at home, and you still let me run abroad? I'm not traveling.
Kuku: Alas! Boss B, why didn't you write these two books earlier? If you write it early, you will be able to sign it by the way when you travel abroad for three years.
Lu Anzhi: Come on! Don't think about it! My popularity has also developed step by step. Without the brewing of "Dragon Family", where did I get so much popularity in China? Without the popularity of China, how could "The Little Prince" become popular all of a sudden? Without "The Little Prince", how could "Harry Potter" become a hit as soon as it was released?
Bitter and helpless: Okay.
But she felt that what Lu Anzhi said did make sense, and it was also true.
Lu Anzhi's one has been popular, but it is indeed one step at a time.
If the trajectory changes, with Lu Anzhi's level, it should still be able to reach the current level of popularity, but the situation in the middle and the level of popularity should also be different......
The explosion of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is, in Lu Anzhi's view, unexpected and reasonable.
In the previous life, when this book first came out, it was also ill-fated. Later, Time Warner took a fancy to this book and adapted it into a movie, and this book began to gradually become invincible around the world.
Today, however, it is different. In this world, the departure of this book is with the help of the popularity of "The Little Prince".
Anyway, this one still broke out with the strength it should have.
Lu Anzhi even received a call from Bertina on the other side of the ocean. The little girl muttered a lot of English on the phone, and she was very excited: "Uncle Luanzhi, Harry Potter is amazing!" My mom tells me Harry Potter stories every day, and I love Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! I want to go to Gryffindor in the future! And broomsticks! And magic! Uncle Luan, I've memorized the levitation charm, Yugadim Leviosa! What do you think? Am I awesome? ”
Lu Anzhi listened to the little girl's chatter and said excitedly, and hurriedly said, "It's amazing." ”
Then he heard the little girl ask again, "What about Slim?" Did you watch Harry Potter? ”
Lu Anzhi said: "Xian Xian is still young, and she still doesn't understand well. I'll tell her about it when she's older. ”
"That's a shame!" said Bertina! Uncle Lu Anzhi, can you give the phone to Xian Xian? I want to talk to her! I've got to tell her how good Harry Potter is! ”
Unexpectedly, the little girl I met at the rock festival has become a loyal fan of "Harry Potter".
Lu Anzhi smiled and said "Okay", handed over the phone to Xian Xian, and said, "Xian Xian, it's Sister Bertina, she wants to talk to you." ”
"Bertina?"
Xian Xian was confused for a while before she reacted, took the phone in a hurry, and said, "Sister Betty! I'm going to talk to Sister Betty! ”
This little guy has changed his name now, and Lu Anzhi remembers that Xian Xian was not called Bertina like that before.
But it doesn't matter, this little guy also stumbled into the right name.
Then Xian Xian took the mobile phone, and Lu Anzhi listened to her and Bertina communicating through the mobile phone, one in Chinese and the other in English. Two little girls, you don't understand what I'm saying, I can't understand what you're saying, but they still communicate happily, which is amazing.
