Another World Under My Pen

At the end of early August, two sets of Sun Peng's new books were on the shelves.

The Book of Heaven Slaying the Dragon by Shuxiang Publishing House and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by Sunflower Publishing House have successively appeared on the shelves of major websites such as Goku.com, and have also been sold in major physical bookstores. station.

It's just that the two sets of books by the same author get very different treatment.

Under the coordination of Shuxiang Publishing House, Yitian packed the boxes directly in the printing plant, and was sent to the major distributors by the logistics company. The physical bookstore that received the goods not only put the new books on the shelves in the first time, but also hung them out and sent them together. Advertisement posters; Goku.com and other websites began to give out new book previews a few days in advance. The words of the new book of the martial arts novel author Lao Bai is very eye-catching!

But the treatment of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is far worse.

Although Sunflower Press is also very active, there are only 25,000 sets of first prints after all, and it is impossible to achieve Yitian's position. And for the distributors, although Sunflower has repeatedly emphasized that this is a new work by novel authors such as the Eagle Shooting and Xiaoao, they are still at a loss and it is difficult to give real attention to them-writing chivalrous novels instead of painting picture books ? Isn't this nonsense?

And why didn’t the book publishing house inform you Sunflower Publishing?

Of course, the most important thing is that Sunflower Press is not willing to spend money!

Propaganda is costly, and Yitian’s first print is one million sets, and Shuxiang Publishing House is naturally willing to spend the money. However, when the prospects are not clear, Sun Peng's first print is to buckle and buckle, and to spend a lot of money on publicity is without even thinking about it. The only thing you can rely on is the author's name, Sun Peng.

Sun Peng did not disappoint them either. He ran an advertisement for "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" for three days in a row to ensure that millions of readers would see the news...

...

"I went, Lao Bai actually drew a children's picture book!"

After watching the Tianlong and Ludingji Zhangwei advertisements after get off work in the evening, Zhao Zhihuo suddenly yelled: "Wife, wife, come out to see the teaser!"

"What happened?"

The wife who was washing her daughter poked her head out of the bathroom and asked curiously.

"Haha, Lao Bai actually drew a picture book!"

Holding his mobile phone and ran to the bathroom door, Zhao Zhihuo said haha, "Look, the name is "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", a set of ten books, suitable for children aged five to twelve to read... you say Isn't it funny? He actually drew a picture book for children, a set of ten books!"

"Puff!"

Looking at the postscript on the screen, Zhao Zhihuo's wife was also happy.

Sure enough!

Although they are all Lao Bai's iron fans now, Zhao Zhihuo and his wife are very clear about what Lao Bai wrote! Wuxia novels, adult fairy tales in his mouth, are almost universally recognized, but are they suitable for children? Now you suddenly said that you drew a set of picture books for children...

"Wife, how about...Shall we buy a set for our girls?"

While holding back his smile, Zhao Zhihuo asked with a weird expression.

"Bah! Do you dare!"

Glancing at Zhao Zhihuo, his wife said irritably: "Who knows if this guy will write a children's version of the deer trip? Do you dare to show this kind of thing to your children?"

"Haha, how is it possible? You think too much."

With a laugh again, Zhao Zhihuo shook his head repeatedly.

Even if Lao Bai dared to write something like that, would he dare to publish it? Aren't you afraid of smashing the sign of your own publishing house?

And at any rate, there are also girls. Zhao Zhihuo usually buys picture books for her. Her daughter's small bookcase is almost full, and many of them are from Sunflower Publishing House. Therefore, Zhao Zhihuo also knows the status and strength of this publishing house in the field of children's books. He does not believe that Lao Bai has really drawn a set of weird picture books.

In this way, the idol’s new book naturally has to support it!

"Uh... it's a bit expensive."

Hearing Zhao Zhihuo's explanation, his wife immediately understood, but after looking at the pricing, she still mumbled somewhat unsatisfactorily.

"Not expensive, there are ten books!"

Zhao Zhihuo, who often buys books for his daughter, shook his head quickly, then showed his wife a look at his mobile phone: "Look at the number of pages, the quality of painting and printing, and at most the price level of ordinary picture books!"

At this time, Zhao Zhihuo had opened the new book interface of Guque.com, and then showed his wife to see the effect. The new book website will put some simple introductions, including scanned copies of a few pages of text, and this "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" directly scanned ten pages, and the effect was quite amazing!

"Well... it looks pretty good!"

After a few glances, I didn’t find any unhealthy content. My wife finally nodded and said: "Oh, you can figure it out...Oh, if you really bought this set of picture books, wouldn't it mean that our whole family will be old people from now on? Readers?"

"Haha really, this is the rhythm of killing the whole family!"

Zhao Zhihuo was also happy when he heard it. He clicked to buy and laughed: "Isn't that right? When the girl grows up, these martial arts physical books we bought will have a place, so there is no need to throw them there... "

...

A week later, the Sun’s old house.

After putting down the phone in his hand, Sun Peng sat down next to his girlfriend and laughed again: "It was a phone call from Sunflower Publishing House just now. The sales of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" came out...Of course it was only the sales of Goku.com. , Two hundred and seventy sets on the first day, more than two thousand four hundred sets in the first week!"

"Huh? So little?"

Upon hearing this number, Zheng Jia's eyes widened in surprise.

Not long ago, Sun Peng just received a call from Zheng Ye, editor of Shuxiang Publishing House, to report on sales for the first week. Also on Goku.com, the "Eternal Dragon Slayer", which was also on the shelves at the same time, sold 16,000 sets on the first day and 5,000 sets on the first Saturday. It instantly broke into the forefront of the rankings and made Sun Peng's novel for the first time. Standing at the top of the leaderboard!

This one……

That's awesome!

Ranked first in the first week of launch, thanks to Sun Peng Tianlong’s millions of collections now!

Compared with the sales volume of more than 1,000 sets on the first week of launch, it is an upset growth! Moreover, for the first time to stand at the top of the rankings, Sun Peng's position in the physical publishing industry has instantly improved by a big!

So after listening to the sales of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", Zheng Jia was so surprised, because the two were written by the same author, the difference is really...

"Haha, this is already pretty good."

Thinking of the sales of Eagle Shooting at the time, Sun Peng nodded with satisfaction: "Especially this kind of children's picture book, if there is no subscription for my novel readers, do you believe that selling ten sets a week is a success?"

Not only Sun Peng thought so, but Sun Peng's editor also thought so.

In the field of martial arts novels, Sun Peng is a top-notch man and a mountain-cracker, but in the children's picture book, he is a fresh newcomer! Unless Shuxiang Publishing House is willing to cooperate with the promotion, at most, Internet fans will notice it for the first time. But to promote Sun Peng's work in other agencies?

The editors of Renjia Shuxiang Publishing House were not squeezed by the door.

However, most of the fans of martial arts novels on the Internet are young people. The real physical fans are slightly older and the main force buying children’s picture books, and they will not notice the "Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" so quickly. Who is the author.

So if you want to see the true potential of this set of books, you have to wait patiently for a while.

After the readers who have bought the book have read it to the children and put the evaluation on it, it will affect more book buyers; if the website or publishing house sees that the sales are good, give some better ones If you recommend...

Moreover, the sales volume of Goku.com has exceeded 2,000 in a week, and the sales volume of the entire network plus physical bookstores is at least 10,000, which is almost half of the first print. What's not satisfactory? I haven’t heard from the editor just now. Has their publishing house started to consider additional printing?

After giving Zheng Jia a detailed explanation, she understood.

However, Zheng Jia was still a little lost and said: "I really hope that more children can see this set of books. The children in the orphanage really like it!"

"Well, don't worry."

Nodded, Sun Peng smiled and said, "When the next "Frozen" comes out, I believe it will be different from this set of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"!"

"Um...huh, by the way, why do you always draw stories that happen abroad?"

Suddenly remembering something, Zheng Jia asked curiously.

"Uh……"

Rolling his eyes, Sun Peng was a little speechless.

He wants to paint something domestic, but who made domestic animation in his previous life so unbelievable? Is it possible for him to paint "Havoc in Heaven" or "The Return of the Great Sage"? This world also has a Journey to the West, OK? What will you do when you drew the film and adapted it in the future? Can someone imitate every minute, OK?

But well...

After hesitating for a while, Sun Peng immediately said with a smile: "I'm not thinking about the hope of going overseas. Next, the next picture book I will draw the story of our China..."
