On May 29, the second day of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was released nationwide.
Yesterday’s sales were so-so, and the owners of the major bookstores were also quite satisfied.
Originally, the bosses should not have much expectations for today's sales.
Because, according to common sense, the sales of a book on the first day are often the highest, and the daily sales will gradually decrease as the book is released.
However, from the reaction of the people who bought the book yesterday and their own feelings after reading it, they are looking forward to today's sales.
They believe that today's sales should be better than yesterday.
And the actual sales situation did not live up to the expectations of the bosses.
This morning, when the owners of major bookstores opened their doors, they looked at the people around the bookstores. There were obviously more people than they were yesterday. They immediately felt the bottom line.
After the official opening of the door, the number of people who successively entered the bookstore to buy books was much more than that in a few days.
The bosses are exasperated. Judging from the sales data in the morning, they estimate that today's sales should be at least twice to three times that of yesterday.
...
Many people who didn't buy a book because they wanted to wait and see yesterday, can't wait to buy a book in the bookstore today.
When I got home, I took a pose and opened it eagerly.
At this point, I basically couldn't stop. When I watched people discussing on the Internet last night, I finally understood what I couldn't understand.
This feeling made them feel refreshed.
After they understood the problem, they could finally join the team that discussed the plot, and the Internet became more lively.
This result undoubtedly affected more people.
Some people who did not pay attention to this creation contest before also know that Li Fan has released a new book, or a fantasy literature work that has never been seen before, called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
I heard that not only children like to watch it, but even many adults are very fascinated by it.
As a result, the major bookstores added a batch of new customers who bought "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
After reading these new customers, they thought it was really good, so they influenced a group of newer customers to go to the bookstore to buy.
In this way, under the excellent quality and good reputation, the reputation of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is getting bigger and bigger, and it also affects more and more people.
Of course, not all people think it looks good after watching "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
There are also many people who find it normal after reading it. In their opinion, this book is also suitable for children to read.
This is also true of course. The main readers of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were originally teenagers and children between the ages of nine and sixteen or seven.
The writing of the work is really not that good. This is mainly to take care of the children so that they can understand it themselves.
It's no surprise that some adults don't like it.
For those children between the ages of nine to sixteen and seven, it is basically all kills. Whether it is a boy or a girl, after seeing it, there is nothing to dislike.
...
Three Holy Village.
Li Fan slipped to the front of Zheng Jie.
Zheng Jie and Zhang Xia are also taking care of the small vegetable garden.
Seeing Li Fan's arrival, Zheng Jierao asked with interest: "I heard that the sales volume of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" today is much higher than yesterday?"
Li Fan chuckled and said, "Old Zheng's information is very good, it is higher than yesterday, this is a normal thing."
Zheng Jie said again: "You guys are so embarrassed, how many books are you going to write?"
Li Fan said, "According to my plan, there are probably seven."
"Seven parts?" Zheng Jie was startled, and said, "There are so many words in each part?"
Li Fan nodded and said, "The number of words in the first part is relatively small, and the number of words in the next few parts should be more. The total number of words is expected to be around 3 million words."
"3 million characters?" Zheng Jie was really taken aback this time. A work of children's literature with 3 million characters is absolutely unprecedented. I am afraid that there will be no one in the future.
This kid really can do it! The key is the following story, can it be guaranteed to be as exciting as the first one?
If not, isn't such a classic ruined in vain?
Zheng Jie glanced at Li Fan deeply, and said seriously: "Is it really necessary to write so much?"
Li Fan smiled and said, "Old Zheng, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, the stories that follow will only become more exciting and more classic."
Zheng Jie took a close look at Li Fan, then smiled heartily, and said casually: "You kid shouldn't just be satisfied with domestic publishing. When are you going to contact those foreign publishing houses?"
Li Fan said hehe: "I don't need to contact me. In a few days, publishers from various countries will come to our village and scramble to buy the copyright."
"Really?" Zheng Jie said: "Your kid is so sure?"
Li Fan laughed and said, "If there is no accident, it should be so."
Zheng Jie smiled and said, "Then you kid, how much do you think this work will eventually sell?"
"Well." Li Fan thought for a while and said, "Total, it will sell 500 or 600 million copies. Of course, it will take a long time."
"Well, how many? Five or six hundred million copies? You kid really dare to think about it!" Zheng Jie laughed blankly. Obviously, he thought Li Fan was joking.
Li Fan knew that Zheng Jie didn't believe it, and he didn't explain it either. Of course, he explained it, and no one will believe it now.
Five or six hundred million copies, what's that feeling? Even if it is distributed globally, that would be too scary.
...
It was getting late, and major bookstores closed one after another.
The bookstore owners smiled. The sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" today are better than they expected, almost four times higher than yesterday.
More importantly, tomorrow's sales are not expected to be bad. It seems that we need to consider the issue of replenishment.
The bookstore owners are happy, and Chongwen Publishing House is naturally even more excited. According to today’s statistics, the total sales of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" across the country are as high as 380,000 copies, nearly four times that of yesterday. .
Bookstores all over the country called to say that they would add "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".
Ye Honghui laughed. He believed that Li Fan's decision was very correct.
...
The news that "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" sold 380,000 copies today, quickly spread to major domestic publishing houses.
Makes the major publishing houses dumbfounded, what kind of couple is this?
Yesterday it was obvious that only 100,000 copies were sold. Why did you sell 380,000 copies today? This Nima is a violation of the market laws of Chiguoguo!
