Chapter 1039: Three Days

Yiye Zhiqiu's Weibo stirred the hearts of everyone related to Lao Bai.

The content is very simple, it is about Lao Bai...... No, it should be said that Laobai's new book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is not domestic news in China, but from overseas!

On its first day in the UK, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone sold more than 11,600 copies.

How many of them are like the German Karen? Miller, no one knows about readers who have read Laobai's picture books since childhood, but there is no doubt that this book can sell more than 10,000 copies on the first day in the UK for three reasons: first, of course, Laobai's accumulated fame, especially the recent box office of "The Lion King" in the UK of more than 20 million pounds, which made him famous again; The second is the foreshadowing of "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" and "Han Bo and the Chamber of Secrets" - there is no doubt about this, although the sales are not amazing, but there are still many readers in the UK; As for the third one, of course, it is the background of the Harry Potter series.

England, magician!

Taken together, these elements are enough to make a lot of people pull out their wallets and buy a copy priced at twelve pounds to come back and see. And then they and Karen? Miller, like him, soon experienced a feeling that was absolutely different from "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" - understanding the traditional European magical culture was much easier than understanding the wizarding culture from China!

And then ......

The infinite charm of the little magician was soon discovered by the Westerners of this world.

The previous Little Witcher series performed generally in Europe and the United States, naturally because it was cloaked in a layer of Chinese culture, which not only made it difficult for readers to understand, but more importantly, it would make them have a natural sense of resistance - ten years ago, I only heard that Western culture was dumped in the East, when did I hear that Chinese or movies were popular in the West?

The psychological contrast makes many people resist.

As for in China, the performance of "Han Bo and Lingshi" is not as amazing as Lao Bai's martial arts. And the reason is also very simple, although they are two worlds, martial arts are indeed authentic Chinese local culture, and no matter how much energy and time Sun Peng invests in the little wizard, they are still essentially the core of the West......

I want to please both ends, but the result is that I can't please both ends!

But this "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is completely different!

In the land of Huaxia, it is difficult for it to become popular all at once. After all, this is not Earth, and even on Earth, it is difficult to imagine how popular a magical theme would be in China if it did not become popular in Europe and the United States - to put it bluntly, without overwhelming publicity, Harry Potter would have been unknown in China.

So four days after its launch, the total sales of Huaxia were less than 200,000 copies, setting a new low for Lao Bai in recent years!

There are elements of subject matter, as well as the influence of those criticisms on the Internet.

After all, after Sun Peng admitted on Weibo, everyone knew that this was almost exactly the same book as "Han Bo and Lingshi", purely for Europe and the United States. Therefore, those who are not old white fans will naturally not pay attention, and those who have bought the little wizard are not interested, only those fans who like the little wizard series will rise a trace of curiosity......

Well, that's a long way off.

But "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", an authentic European literary work from the earth, did not adapt to the Europe of this world in the slightest, and quickly exerted its original charm!

There is no obstacle to understanding, and it is much easier to accept.

After all, it is a story that takes place in England, after all, it is a legend of magicians that has been circulating in Europe for hundreds of years, and after all, there is an author who has a huge following, so it is not surprising that more than 10,000 copies were sold on the first day in the British Isles.

What's really strange is that the next three days!

The next day, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" sold more than 6,000 copies in the UK - this data is normal, after all, even if Laobai is very famous, people in the UK may not necessarily give face, right? You must know that "Han Bo and Lingshi" has been on the shelves for more than a year, and the total sales in the UK have not exceeded 60,000 copies!

But on the third day, the sales of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone suddenly doubled!

The result of 12,400 copies even exceeded the sales on the first day!

So on the fourth day, when the sales of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" stood on the steps of 20,000 copies, there was also good news in the United States: three days later, 160,000 copies of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" were sold in the United States, which was at least twice as high as the English version of "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" in the same period!

Sold in the UK and the US combined, the book sold nearly 200,000 copies within three days of hitting the shelves! Although it can't be compared with the results of the last few books of the little magicians on the earth, because of the addition of the name laobai, it is much better than Rowling's initial treatment!

And just like in the UK, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has received rave reviews in the US!

Major media and book reviewers have given high scores!

In the words of the New York Times, it was "just changing the setting of the story, the names of the characters, and the magical objects that transformed Han Bo and the Spirit Stone into a sea change – exactly to the appetite of Western readers!" It's hard to say whether it's because Lao Bai is so amazing, or because his original ambitions were so great that he gave up trying to please both Eastern and Western readers, that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone finally became a good book......"

Lao Bai blows a leaf Zhiqiu's Weibo, citing three days of sales data from the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as this book review from the New York Times!

"So, that kid succeeded again?"

After reading the Weibo pointed out to him by the agent, Liang Ren blinked his eyes and asked in surprise.

"Yes, it seems so!"

Nodding, the agent shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "And...... It seems that it can no longer be summed up simply by the word "success"! You must know that 160,000 copies were sold in three days in the United States, which can be ranked fourth among Chinese writers - the fourth place I am talking about does not include picture books, but only refers to text-only ones, otherwise his previous books would have been ranked higher! ”

When he said this, the agent's tone was obviously paused.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Liang Ren asked with some puzzlement: "Your attitude at this time tells me that you seem to be a little disappointed with such a result?" ”

"No, I'm very disappointed!"

Shaking his head, the agent sighed and said, "But of course, it's not that I don't want Chinese writers to have good results in Europe and the United States, but ...... Alas, if we want to talk to him about the next script, it will probably be even more difficult! ”

Hearing this, Liang Ren was silent for a while, and then shook his head.

After listening to the other party's explanation, he immediately understood the agent's thoughts at this time.

I thought that the young man had finally suffered his first Waterloo this time, and looking at the criticism on the Internet, it seemed that he would encounter some small difficulties. In that case, if Liang Ren comes forward to say something good for him, such as he is still young and needs encouragement, and then uses his influence in Europe and the United States to exert a wave, then not only will the next script be easier to negotiate, but even the other party's offer may not be so exaggerated.

After all, no one is more optimistic about the upcoming "Truman's World" than them!

You must know that in addition to Liang Ren as the male lead, there are also powerful Hollywood factions in "Truman's World", Japan's Fujiwara Kura, etc., plus the production fee of more than 10 million US dollars higher than Lao Bai's original request, both the producer and Liang Ren are full of confidence in the final box office!

So before the movie was released, the agent and Liang Ren had already begun to think about continuing to cooperate with Lao Bai in the future.

It was really hard to get a script from that kid, and they had to think about it in advance.

But now......

After pondering for a long time, Liang Ren suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "Okay, according to what I know about that kid, even if he really fails this time, at most he will just laugh, and this kind of careful thinking is actually not very useful!" Instead of wasting time by trying some small means, it's better to think about what conditions to prescribe to him......"
