Another World Under My Pen

Chapter 1788: Still laobai!

Regardless of domestic or overseas, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" and "Han Bo and the Peacock Prince" are like two record harvesters. Starting from May 1st, various records have been harvested wildly.

Among them, "Han Bo and the Peacock Prince" sold 14 million copies on the first day of China, 22 million in the first week, and 29 million in the first month, all of which are the sales records of China's single-volume books-and fortunately After the first day of sales came out, Guanglun Publishing House started printing as quickly as possible, and completed the first nationwide replenishment within two weeks, otherwise it would be embarrassing to be out of stock.

In contrast, the performance of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is not satisfactory.

Seven million copies on the first day, 15 million on the first week, and only a little over 20 million in the first month, which is more than a little bit worse than that of my brothers. Moreover, in places deeply influenced by Chinese culture, such as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, the little wizard was also crushed by the little wizard, and the gap seemed not small.

The only place where the little magician has absolute advantage is only in Europe and North America.

Even in South America, South Asia, West Asia and other countries and regions, the little wizard dare not say that he can defeat the little wizard...Of course, for these two sets of books, these markets are not that important, it's nothing.

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" broke the first week's sales record in 14 European and American countries.

What makes Sun Peng most happy is that the sales of "Han Bo and the Peacock Prince" in Europe and the United States are also quite high. Although there is still a distance from the little magician, the gap is narrowed compared with the beginning. A lot!

"If I have to say it, it should be that Chinese culture is being accepted by European and American audiences."

Knocked on the table in front of him, Tim? Hanks said solemnly: "If you put it in the past, no matter how famous Laobai is, his novels will not be sold so much in Europe and the United States... I heard that Seal Press has announced that it will print for the second time. , The number is as high as 10 million copies! Think about it, what does this mean?"

"It means that the first printing and the first additional printing of 650,000 copies will soon be sold out!"

"Yes, the average sales volume is 30 million!"

Nodded, Tim? Hardaway took a deep breath and said, "And the most terrifying thing is more than that, because according to the figures released by Seal Publishing House, the little wizard has printed up to 10 million for the first time, and the little wizard has only 5 million. This time Both the Indian and the Indian are 5 million... Do you know, what does this mean?"

After listening to his words, the face of the middle-aged woman sitting opposite also became solemn: "Mr. Hardaway, I know you want to say that the sales of "Han Bo and the Peacock Prince" have exceeded expectations. "Half-Blood Prince" performed better, indicating that the influence of this series continues to rise, right?"

"Yes, this is terrible!"

Get up from the sofa with a rub, Tim? Hardaway took a few steps in the house subconsciously, frowning and said: "On the one hand, it is the theme of traditional magicians that have been hot in Europe and the United States for decades, and it is the traditional culture of our white people. On the other hand, it has never been out of China. To say that the appearance of "Han Bo and the Spirit Stone" started less than ten years ago, but now...the gap between them is shrinking rapidly, don’t you think it’s scary, Miss Harrison? "

"Yes, it's scary!"

Miss Harrison's eyelids twitched, and she nodded helplessly: "But what we have to admit is that although the subject matter of the magician is classic and has a wider foundation in Europe and America, it is too old! Even if Mr. Laobai has innovated it and introduced a modern school system to make it closer to the tastes of young people, it still can’t stop new things! China’s wizarding theme...No, it should be said that it’s China’s culture That's it, it's too new for young people in Europe and America!"

"But before? Didn't we resist it before?"

"No, it was just that they were incapable before!"

Shaking her head, Miss Harrison said sternly: "Mr. Hardaway, think about China’s previous movies. In addition to the historical masterpieces piled up by capital and manpower, are there any movie types that can be compared with Hollywood?"

"This……"

Frown again, Tim? Hardaway was silent.

Have it?

of course not!

Don’t talk about magic movies like the Han Bo series, and don’t mention any sci-fi masterpieces, which are the most numerous and the most basic part of commercial movies-action movies. The level of Chinese people is far from that of Hollywood. Can only rely on the domestic market to mix.

Want to go abroad?

That place in Southeast Asia is the home of Chinese movies, even Japan and South Korea don’t buy it.

Even so, even if Huaxia has a great influence in Southeast Asia, Hollywood can still fight the Huaxia people there, half of the time everyone is inextricably killed, and the other half can easily clean them up.

"So, Europeans and Americans are actually still interested in Chinese culture."

After taking a deep breath, Miss Harrison went on to say: "The reason is also very simple. They are the three poles of the world, and they are closely related to each other to the point of indivisibility! Especially for China, the total economic output is almost equal. For the sum of Europe and the United States, it is impossible for us to leave them in our lives! This acceptance has led to a large number of people in Europe and North America who have to learn Chinese culture and learn how to get along with them... Over time, cultural invasion The argument naturally came."

"Well, that's it."

After a moment of silence, Tim? Hardaway nodded helplessly.

The so-called cultural invasion sounds terrible. In fact, this thing comes with the influence of politics, military, technology and economy, especially the economy. Whoever is richer has stronger cultural influence. No one can object!

It's just that the rise and spread of cultural influence is slower than in other areas.

Today, China’s economy is No. 1 in the world, with politics, military affairs, and technology all the same. Although there may be a slight lack of quality, there are no opponents in total. In this case, even if Europe and North America unite to suppress it, it is useless, so the expansion of cultural influence is only a matter of time.

The overt and secret resistance in Europe and America is one aspect, and the rise of China's cultural industry is another aspect.

It’s just that only those historical masterpieces can be eaten in Europe and the United States. Now the audience is tired of the kind, but action blockbusters, sci-fi blockbusters, and even magical blockbusters are flooding in, making Hollywood feel a huge pressure-not to mention Chinese movies. The Yii Memorial Hall surpassed them, but the progress of the other party was so fast!

So this time the new books of Little Wizard and Little Wizard are on sale, let Tim? Hardaway was flustered.

It seems that they have nothing to do with Paramount Pictures. After all, one of them is a movie and the other is a fantasy novel. But Tim? Hardaway knows that the big sales of these two books means that the box office of the subsequent two series of adaptations will continue to rise, or at least will run at a high level!

Especially for the Little Witcher series, the increase in sales of novels means that the box office potential is also increasing!

This is not a good thing for Hollywood.

As the president of Paramount Pictures, Tim? Hardaway knows the data too well-ten years ago, China Films had a very small box office in North America, and it was only one or two billion dollars a year, sometimes even less! But now, almost every year the box office can reach more than 700 million US dollars... at least!

The highest year is even close to a billion dollars!

So, when did it start?

"Bourne's Identity"?

No, although the plot of that movie is okay, but the shooting techniques and scenes are obviously too rubbish. In the United States, there is no splash at all... By the way, it should be "Hurricane Rescue"!

Suddenly, Tim? Hardaway remembered the movie that impressed him that year.

The box office in North America is not very high, that is, the level of ordinary low-cost action movies, but after being bought by the Americans online copyright, it is very popular on video sites! When the later "Hurricane Rescue 2-True Lies" was released, the box office naturally increased by at least twice?

"After all, it's this laobai..."
