Little Farmer Big Star

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the work Li Fan participated in the Children's Literature Creation Competition, officially meets Chinese readers today.

Since publishers in other countries are unwilling to publish, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is only published and sold in China for the time being.

On this day, many people entered the bookstore and bought Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but many more people had no plans to buy it yet.

Do they want to see the relevant reviews given by those who have bought the book before deciding whether to buy it?

Therefore, today, the sales volume of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone across the country is only 100,000 copies. Although it is not bad, it is not good either. It can only be said to be so-so.

This kind of sales volume is enough for many other writers to celebrate happily, but for Li Fan, it is obviously still too little.

Therefore, many publishing houses seemed to be gloating when they heard today's sales figures for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Among them, the one who takes the most pleasure in others' misfortunes is naturally Qiu Yu Publishing House.

Han Feng and Huang Zhaoyang toasted to each other.

Han Feng smiled and said: "Although the sales volume of 100,000 copies is slightly better than what we expected, it is only slightly better. This time, Chongwen Publishing House made a mistake."

Huang Zhaoyang also smiled and said: "We were able to sell 100,000 copies on the first day because there were many people who came for Li Fan's sake. Now those people have almost left, and tomorrow's sales will definitely be a lot less. "

Han Feng added: "Yes, after those who bought the book today read it, they will publish some negative comments on the Internet, which will undoubtedly affect its sales. I boldly speculate that, um, Harry Potter and The final sales volume of Philosopher’s Stone will not exceed 500,000 copies.”

Huang Zhaoyang sneered and said: "500,000 copies? It's difficult for me to think of 400,000 copies."

Han Feng nodded and said: "Well, indeed, why don't we buy a copy and have a look? We can also make some contribution to others."

Huang Zhaoyang waved his hands 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 pay attention to Li Fan's new works are far from the only people in China. Children's literature writers from Lan, Dan, Bai and other countries, as well as publishing house representatives from the last exchange summit, are also very concerned.

Lan country.

Jared from Jim and Sander Publishing House was in a good mood at this time.

Jim smiled and said: "Jared, Li Fan's entry has been sold in China. It's called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Looking at the title, it is indeed based on our Western world. I have to say that he Dare to take risks. Jerry, aren’t you going to get a copy? Are you really not going to publish it?”

Jerry also smiled and said: "Jim, his book only sold 100,000 copies on the first day in China. How many copies would it have sold in our country? I don't think it would have sold even 1,000 copies. If he didn't want the copyright fee, I can publish it for him and I won’t lose money, but he wants a 10% share, which is impossible.”

Jim said: "I got a copy back. It should arrive tomorrow. He keeps saying that our fantasy literature doesn't have much research value. Whether it's true or not, I'm very interested in taking a look at what he wrote. Like? But that book is in Chinese. Jerry, your publisher should be able to translate it. I would like to ask you to translate it."

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

Jim said: "Thank you, Jerry. It doesn't have to be completely accurate, it just needs to be understandable."

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

Jim said, "Thank you, Jerry."

Jerry said: "Jim, you are always so polite.

"

…

Baiguo.

Gerson was also in dialogue with Mueller from De Herze Publishing House.

The content of the conversation was similar to that between Jim and Jerry.

Gessen also got a copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone from China and asked Muller's De Herze Publishing House to help translate it.

Although Gessen is not good at fantasy literature, and he is not participating in fantasy literature this time, he also wants to take a look, what is Li Fan's fantasy literature like?

In addition, Andelin from Dan Kingdom is doing the same thing. He also wants to know what Li Fan's fantasy literature is like?

…

Li Fan's entries are on sale today, but the entries on sale today are not just for Li Fan.

Other writers who participated in the fantasy literature competition include Jim and Chutel from Lan Guo, Laytoni from Dan Guo, and Antar from Bai Guo.

The participating fantasy literary works of Jim, Chuter, Laytoni, and Antal were all released simultaneously in multiple countries. They can be regarded as the four most well-known fantasy literary works in this competition.

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

At least that's the case for now.

Of course, there are other writers who also compete in fantasy literature, but their influence is limited, and their publications are basically distributed in their own countries, and readers in other countries are basically unaware of them.

Only when the jury gives out the final ranking, readers from various countries can see the title and ranking of the book on the official website of their country's Writers Association, 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 well-known writers, which are published simultaneously in many countries, the rest are almost only published in their own country.

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

Because these three genres are all presented on the Internet as a carrier.

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

All entries of all participating writers can be seen in the competition channel.

In the competition channel, all entries are listed in three categories: short fairy tales, children's poetry, and children's prose. There are original versions and translated versions. Readers can choose to read according to their own situation.

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

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

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

However, no matter what genre the entries are, the dust has now settled and they have all been met with readers.

The rest is just waiting for the final results.
