Nine hundred and twentieth nine chapters on the shelves
"Hanbo and the Spiritual Stone", when Potter fans on earth see this magically modified title, nine out of ten will definitely spit out a mouthful of water.
The strong smell of a copycat immediately hits your face!
However, no one in this world has seen "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". It's just like on earth, because of the huge influence of Western culture in the early days, men, women and children are somewhat familiar with imported products like magicians, especially
Some people just like it very much.
So "Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone" is the title of Lao Bai's new book, so there's nothing wrong with it!
Not only Sun Peng himself thinks so, but also his agent, editor and the editor-in-chief of Nimbus Press all think there is no problem. And because this is Lao Bai's new work after two years, Nimbus Press has just released it.
Lao Bai hired him as his top writer, so he paid him unprecedented attention!
As early as after signing the contract and receiving the electronic manuscript, the promotion of Nimbus Press started in full swing.
The first printing quantity of 1.2 million was the result of a dispute between the two parties, but Nimbus Press gritted its teeth and spent at least 3 million to promote it! Banners were hung up early at the entrances of several major online bookstores, and physical stores
They all received promotional pages and roll-up banners from the publishing house, and the top book recommendation public accounts and Weibo also received public relations fees from Guanglun Publishing House...
Everything is performed according to the standards that Lao Bai deserves!
How can a top Chinese writer do so well if there is little movement?
Fortunately, Sun Peng doesn't care much about these things. If he knew that Guanglun Publishing House had paid three million for promotion, he would have been heartbroken, and if he was still clamoring about the treatment of top writers, I'm afraid he would have rolled his eyes hundreds of times.
!
Three million? Top-notch treatment?
Are you sorry?!
Look at the treatment of Harry Potter on earth, is that what it means to be top-notch? It will be released worldwide on the same day, and it will be shipped with armed escorts. I wish all seven billion people would know what it was like on that day...
Well, Harry Potter didn't get such treatment from the first book.
In fact, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was unknown when it was released. It was not until the movie was released and won super box office that the fame of this series of novels became more and more famous, eventually creating a 21st century novel.
sales miracle!
Relatively speaking, Nimbus Publishing House’s investment is already large enough.
"Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone" is after all the first novel in the series. Even though Lao Bai is very famous and has tens of millions of fans, what he wrote before was after all a martial arts novel, and this time it is a novel for
For a wizard novel for young readers, Nimbus Press cannot really ignore the financial investment - you only need to look at the final first printing number to know this.
If Lao Bai is still a martial arts novel this time, he should at least start with more than two million!
and...
A single volume is priced at 48 yuan, how much will it cost even if all 1.2 million copies are sold? Nimbus Press can only get more than 30 million! After deducting Sun Peng's royalties of almost 10 million, minus the printing
, editing and management and other costs, these three million promotional fees will definitely put it in a state of net loss!
To put it bluntly, by signing Lao Bai’s book, Nimbus Publishing is taking a gamble!
On the one hand, it is a bet on future cooperation with Lao Bai. After all, the two previous publishing houses have obtained more than one book from Sun Peng. If this time it is still a martial arts novel or picture book, Nimbus probably has no chance.
; On the other hand, it is also a bet on Lao Bai's current fame, and even the future of the book "Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone"!
"Three million in promotional expenses are really impressive!"
In a phone call to Sun Peng, the agent's second sister smiled and said: "In addition, the box office of "True Lies" continues to rise these days, so there are still three days for the new book to be released, but your fans should have already
Everyone knows the news...Tsk, tsk, I just don’t know if fans of martial arts novels can accept the type and setting of the new book!"
After hesitating for a moment, Sun Ya still had something to say.
The style of "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" is really different from Sun Peng's previous novels. Even though she knew that they were different genres and could not be compared bluntly, she suddenly changed from the concise, simple but majestic Jin family
The language has become a translated version of Harry Potter, and no one can stand it!
To put it simply, it is a product of two levels!
However, his brother has done too many miracles, so seeing how confident he is every time, Sun Ya will certainly not be disappointed, and then smiles: "By the way, although it is not a martial arts novel, but you
The pre-sales of this new book have exceeded 300,000 copies, which is quite astonishing! So if nothing unexpected happens, Nimbus Press will probably consider printing more copies on the day it is released..."
...
"Wizard? Is it for children?"
After reading the promotional text on the website, Li Ran frowned and asked.
"Of course, look at it!"
Blinking his eyes, Zhao Zhihuo quickly pointed his finger on the screen and read seriously: "A Chinese fantasy story specially created for children! Magical wizards and even more magical wizarding schools allow children to experience the ancient and mysterious world of China."
Wizard culture, as they dance in the sky...It is definitely written for children!"
"But..."
The wrinkles on his brows still hadn't relaxed, and Li Ran still felt a little uneasy.
This old white guy has a criminal record!
If it were a picture book from the Flower Story Collection series, Li Ran would definitely buy a set without hesitation, no matter how expensive it was. But...do you still remember the cartoon "Peerless Two Prides" from back then?
"Ahem, it's nothing!"
Seeing Li Ran's hesitant look, Zhao Zhihuo waved his hand and said: "I believe that Lao Bai will not deceive his fans. At most, after buying it, we can take a look first and then give it to Niu Niu if it suits her, right? She is now
What I like to read the most is this kind of pure text book!"
As my daughter entered the second grade of elementary school, her interest in picture books became less and less.
Therefore, in addition to getting a library card for their children to borrow from a library near home, the Zhao family purchases a batch of books almost every month to satisfy the little girl's growing appetite. And just at this time, "
"Han Bo and Lingshi" turned out, as a big fan of Lao Bai, how could Zhao Zhihuo not support it?
Besides, Laobai's products are guaranteed to be high-quality, and Zhao Zhihuo is even more confident about this.
"Okay, let's buy it."
After thinking for a while, Li Ran finally nodded.
It has nothing to do with Zhao Zhihuo's strong recommendation, but Lao Bai's own previous reputation. After all, Lao Bai's picture books are Niu Niu's favorite, and the animation "Frozen" is still read from time to time.
Let’s review it again, I hope this time’s “Han Bo and the Spiritual Stone” will not be too bad...
Hope so!
Compared to his wife's inner tangle, Zhao Zhihuo didn't have so much to think about. He rubbed his hands and quickly started to order online with a smile.
In the early hours of this morning, "Hanbo and Lingshi" was officially released.
Although he was just buying books for his daughter... In fact, Zhao Zhihuo also knew that he would not be interested in this kind of children's literature, but for some reason, he, who paid attention to the box office results of "True Lies" every day, became interested in Lao Bai after a long time.
I am particularly interested in the new book published two years ago, and I eagerly want to know what this book is about...(To be continued)
