Chapter 846： Sales are not good

Li Fan's work in the children's literature creation competition, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", officially meets with readers in China today.

Since publishing houses in other countries are unwilling to publish, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is temporarily only published and sold in China.

On this day, many people entered the bookstore and purchased "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", but more people have no plans to buy it temporarily.

They want to see those who have bought the book, after giving the relevant evaluation, then decide whether to buy it?

Therefore, today's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sold only 100,000 copies across the country. Although it is not bad, it is not good. It can only be said that it is so-so.

Such sales are enough for many other writers to celebrate happily, but for Li Fan, it is obviously too small.

Therefore, there are many publishing houses, when they heard the sales data of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" today, they all seemed to be a little gloat.

Among them, the most gloating is of course Qiuyu Publishing House.

Han Feng and Huang Zhaoyang pushed the cup to celebrate.

Han Feng smiled and said, "Although the sales volume of 100,000 copies is slightly better than our estimate, it is only slightly better. This time, Chongwen Publishing House has gone."

Huang Zhaoyang also smiled and said: "The first day I was able to sell 100,000 copies, it was because many people went for Li Fan's face. Now those people have almost gone, and tomorrow's sales will definitely be reduced by a lot. "

Han Feng said again: "Yes, after those who bought the book today read it and make some negative comments on the Internet, this will undoubtedly affect its sales. I boldly speculate about that, um, "Harry Bo The final sales of "Special and Philosopher's Stone" will not exceed 500,000 copies."

Huang Zhaoyang sneered and said, "500,000 copies? I have difficulty seeing 400,000 copies."

Han Feng nodded and said, "Well, indeed, do we want to buy a copy to see? We should also make some contribution to others."

Huang Zhaoyang waved his hand and said: "If the sales are good, we will naturally buy a copy, but now, there is no need for that."

Han Feng nodded and agreed.

...

People who follow Li Fan's new works are far more than the relevant people in China. Children's literature writers from Lan, Dan, and Bai, as well as the representatives of the publishing house at the last exchange summit, are also very concerned.

Lan country.

Jim and Jared of Sand Press are in a good mood at this time.

Jim smiled and said: "Jerud, Li Fan's entry has been sold in China. What is it called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". Looking at the title of this book, it is indeed based on our Western world as the background. Say, he dared to take risks. Jerry, don’t you plan to get a copy and check it out? Are you really not going to publish it?"

Jerry had to smile the same: "Jim, his book only sold 100,000 copies on the first day in China. If it is in our country, how many copies can it sell? I don’t think 1,000 copies can be sold. If he doesn’t want copyright fees, I can publish it for him, and it shouldn’t lose money. But he wants a 10% share, which is impossible."

Jim said, "I got a copy and it should arrive tomorrow. He keeps saying that our fantasy literature has little research value. Whether it's true or not, I'm very interested to take a look at what he wrote. Looks like? But that book is in Chinese. Jerry got it, your publishing house should be able to translate it, I want you to translate it."

Jerry said: "I'm honored, Jim. However, some parts of Chinese are more complicated and difficult to understand. The same sentence can express different meanings. Our translation may not be completely accurate."

Jim said: "Thank you, Jared, it doesn't have to be completely accurate, it just has to be able to see clearly."

Jerry said: "No problem, Jim, you give me the book, and I will arrange a translator as soon as possible to translate it for you."

Jim said, "Thank you, Jerry."

Jerry had to say: "Jim, you are always so polite."

...

Bai Guo.

Gerson and Muller of De Herz Publishing House are also having a conversation.

The content of the dialogue is similar to that of Jim and Jared.

Gerson also got a copy of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in China, and asked Muller's De Hertz Publishing House to help translate it.

Although Gessen is not good at fantasy literature, he is not competing in fantasy literature this time, but he also wants to see how Li Fan's fantasy literature is?

In addition, Anderin of Dan Kingdom is doing the same thing. He also wants to know how Li Fan's fantasy literature is?

...

Li Fan’s entries are on sale today, but Li Fan is not alone in the entries on sale today.

Other writers who competed in fantasy literature include Jim and Qiuter from Lan, Letony from Dan, and Antal from Bai Guo.

The four fantasy literary works of Jim, Chuttle, Letony, and Antar were all released simultaneously in multiple countries. They are the four most famous fantasy literary works in this competition.

Although Li Fan's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is well-known in China, it is not well-known in other countries.

At least for now.

Of course, there are some other writers who are also participating in fantasy literature, but their influence is limited, and the distribution is basically in their own country. Readers in other countries basically don't know.

Only when the jury gives the final ranking, readers from various countries can see the title and ranking of the book on the official website of the Writers Association of their country, and that's it.

The situation of the entries for long fairy tales is similar to that of fantasy literature. Except for the entries of the most famous writers, which are distributed simultaneously in multiple countries, the rest are almost exclusively distributed in their own countries.

However, for the three genres of short fairy tales, children's poetry, and children's prose, this situation does not exist.

Because these three genres are all presented on the Internet.

The official websites of writers associations in various countries have opened corresponding contest channels.

All entries of all participating authors can be seen in the contest channel.

In the contest channel, there are three genres of short fairy tales, children's poems, and children's prose. All entries are listed in different categories, with original and translated versions. Readers can choose to read according to their own circumstances.

The number of entries in these three genres is far more than that of long fairy tales and fantasy literature.

The competition is also much fiercer, but it doesn’t take so much time and effort to create.

It should be said that both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

However, no matter what the genre of the entries, the dust has now settled, and they have already met with readers.

For the rest, just wait for the final result of the game.
