The sixth book in the two series set an amazing record on the first day it went on sale.
China sold 21 million, and the United States sold 11 million!
Anyway, when the news was announced, both the media and netizens became excited, and a carnival quickly started around the world!
"Thirty-two million copies. Is this a new record?"
After seeing the news on the Internet, Zhao Zhihuo couldn't help but sigh at the dinner table when he returned home: "I checked it out and found that the previous record was 17 million copies. It was a French writer's reasoning.
Novel... Teacher Lao Bai has nearly doubled the record in one go!"
"Not so much, this time he has two books!"
As the only person in the family who was not a fan of Lao Baitie, Lao Zhao's wife said casually while serving soup for her daughter.
While swallowing a mouthful of food, her daughter curled her lips and said: "It is indeed two books, but the current statistics are only sales in China and the United States. The data for other countries have not been released yet! Especially Europe and Japan.
For big countries, there will definitely be no less in total... By the way, I heard that the sales of the Little Wizard comics in Japan are particularly high, but it’s a pity that we have to wait for a while in China to see the latest updates!”
When talking about topics related to Lao Bai, Zhao Zhihuo and his daughter can always find a common language and say with a smile: "There is no way, who asked Bai Da to authorize the comics to that party in the first place?"
Regarding this, he didn't know how many times he had thanked his idol.
The older the children get, the more they hate their parents.
This sentence is of course not absolute, but some children who have reached adolescence will feel disgusted by their parents' control and nagging, and begin to alienate their parents who wanted to stick to them every day when they were young. This is also true. Because they find that compared with their parents, they are of the same age.
Friends have a common language, and everyone's aesthetics, interests, concerns, etc. are also closer.
The nature of teenagers makes it difficult for them to pay attention to their parents' moods.
Only when they get older, or even become parents themselves, will they realize this. Therefore, the saying that only when you raise children will you know the kindness of your parents, does it have extremely practical significance.
But at that time, even if they are paying attention to their parents, because they have to survive, work, and raise children, they have very little time to give to their parents...
What makes Zhao Zhihuo helpless is that his daughter is this type.
After entering junior high school, Xia Yatou didn't like staying with her parents very much. Zhao Zhihuo wanted to watch a movie with her child, buy clothes, etc., but she was reluctant. She preferred to spend money with her classmates and friends.
Go together.
There was a time when Zhao Zhihuo was particularly anxious, always feeling that his daughter seemed to be drifting away.
Until one day, he suddenly found that he and his daughter had found a common language, which was Lao Bai's novels, music, animations, and of course movies!
This discovery made Zhao Zhihuo overjoyed!
Although as he gets older day by day, Zhao Zhihuo's life is now becoming more and more stressful, especially when his parents go to the hospital more often and he is busy after being promoted in the company, which makes him less interested in these things.
His attention was not as much as before, but in order to continue chatting with his daughter, Lao Zhao had no choice but to persist.
Fortunately, it's something he likes, so it's not too hard...
That's too far.
Anyway, Lao Zhao's family didn't pay much attention to their meals, so the father and daughter had a lively chat about the sales of Lao Bai's new book.
"I've seen it. Anyway, the Internet is going crazy today!"
After taking a sip of the love soup given to her by her mother, the little girl said excitedly: "This has broken the sales record of the French. Domestic fans are so irritable. Anyway, Weibo, Moments and various forums are everywhere.
It’s about this. And those apps, the headlines are almost all about this!”
"Well, it's similar abroad, especially the Americans and the French. They're very sour, haha!"
"Dad, do you still read foreign news?"
"Uh... I watched the ported version."
Zhao Zhihuo paused with his hand and said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "There are people on the Internet who specially carry foreign news, translate it and put it on the forum for others to see... Ahem, but this kind of news is becoming less and less now.
!”
Having said this, Zhao Zhihuo sighed and said with some disappointment: "I remember when your mother and I were in college, this kind of news could be said to be everywhere on the Internet! Not only from the United States, but also from Europe and Japan.
, as well as India, Africa, etc., especially when it comes to China, things are even hotter, there are all kinds of things!"
"Ah? Really?"
"Haha, of course it's true!"
Seeing that her daughter seemed a little unconvinced, her mother also smiled and said: "I still remember that in order to learn English, I often read this type of news, and then compared it with the words translated by other experts... Now
People of your generation basically don’t watch this kind of news anymore. Unlike us, at that time it was like watching what foreigners thought of China!”
After hearing what her mother said, the little girl suddenly looked confused.
Looking at her expression, the two of them knew what she was thinking. Zhao Zhihuo and his wife looked at each other and laughed at the same time. In addition to Hollywood and Grammys, which are still dominating the world, today's young Chinese
How many people still care about what happens abroad?
Their eyes seem to stay at home forever.
Zhao Zhihuo still remembers that when he was studying, he was envious of the green mountains and green waters of Europe and the United States. There were occasional smog in China, but now even the capital has been controlled very well, and there is not necessarily two smog throughout the year.
Weather; At that time, it was always said that the per capita income in foreign countries was high. Although it is still not as good now, the gap is not that big. As for the most impressive thing, whether it is music, movies or games, as long as it is in the cultural field, it has always been
Foreign countries are much stronger than domestic...
Some people envy life abroad, while others worry about the country and its people.
Anyway, everyone's eyes are fixed on those developed countries, paying attention to everything about others; at the same time, they are also particularly concerned about China in the eyes of others. Whenever there is any progress, they will cheer for it and be extremely proud.
Now that I think about it, it's just something called national pride at work.
Now, although in many fields the skills are still inferior to others, the gap is not that big. In more fields, China has evolved from a state of catching up to winning or losing, or even leading!
Even the top cultural industries are no longer one-sided.
Especially in the field of TV dramas, China was the first to "defeat" rivals such as American dramas, Japanese dramas, and Korean dramas. Even because of China's huge investment in TV dramas and exquisite production, it began to frequently "counterattack" overseas and gained a good reputation and reputation.
Huge market!
Movies and music that were previously only available in the wild can now achieve high box office or become hits abroad.
After laughing, Lao Zhao, who was sitting side by side with his daughter, patted his daughter's little head and couldn't help but sigh: "People of your generation have had a good time to have children..."
