Another World Under My Pen

"You heard it right, it is the world's first 150 million copies printed!"

Annie? Carpenter couldn’t help standing up, and said loudly: “The first prints of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and "Han Bo and the Deathly Hallows" are both 75 million copies, and they are both in the world's ten. Two languages ​​will be released simultaneously...Ladies and gentlemen, this is not only Mr. Laobai’s personal historical record, but also an unprecedented record in the history of world publishing!"

"boom……"

"Wow..."

"Oh……"

Not waiting for Annie? After Carpenter finished speaking, the reporters in the audience were already crazy, some shouting loudly, applauding vigorously, and of course many more desperately swallowing and spitting.

150 million copies?

This figure is too exaggerated!

On average, the first print of each volume is 75 million, a direct increase of 50% over the sixth volume! You know that when the sixth novel hit the shelves a year or two ago, the first printing of 100 million copies was already an exaggeration. As a result...

In fact, not only the reporters kept sucking the air-conditioning, but even Sun Peng, who was sitting on the stage, was actually in a complicated mood at this moment-he just learned of the temporary decision of Seal Publishing House to increase the first printing. Ten million copies, and Guanglun also temporarily increased by ten million.

No way, the rapid growth of pre-order numbers makes them afraid to neglect.

Both publishing houses know that there are risks. After all, such a large number of first prints means huge inventory and transportation pressures, and extremely high costs. If it cannot be sold in a short period of time, every day is a huge loss.

So they struggled until yesterday before they finally made up their minds.

The first print of 15 million copies has been added, and the two publishing houses have put a little bit of water on the data. The final number announced is 150 million copies, breaking all records in the history of publication, and still The kind of rubbing the second place under your body!

So be Annie? After Carpenter announced this number, the only person who was not shocked was perhaps Sun Peng, the author of the two books.

Seventy-five million copies?

Haha, what's so shocking about this?

On the day "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" was released on Earth, 8 million copies were sold in the United States, 3 million copies were sold in the UK, and 10,000 copies were sold even in Beijing... or the original English version. !

Three days after its launch, 60 million copies have been sold worldwide!

And don’t forget that of the 60 million copies, only a small part is sold in China. Because Harry Potter's sales performance in China is "average", and even Koreans have even laughed on the Internet, saying that the sales of so many people in China are less than that of South Korea, which has a population of tens of millions...

So in Sun Peng's view, 150 million copies are really not an exaggeration.

Of course he knew that readers of Little Wizard and Little Mage should look at it separately, but he also knew that many people would buy both of them, and the proportion of this part is not low!

So strictly speaking, the Little Mage series of the different world version is still crushed by the original version on Earth. After all, his laobai's reputation and number of fans are not comparable to Rowling...

After the reporters were quiet a little bit, Annie? Carpenter began to introduce two new books excitedly. Actually, Sun Peng should have come to this matter, but out of various considerations, he really didn't want to boast of himself, so he finally gave the task to Annie? Carpenter.

As the editor-in-chief of Seal Publishing House, Annie? Carpenter is naturally a shining lotus. He praised the two books above and below, and always emphasized the great contributions made by Seal Press in printing, distribution, transportation, storage and other links for global unification.

There is no doubt that both books are the most watched publications of this year, and neither is one of them.

This point is not particularly exaggerated, because not only fans are eager to see through, but the major media are also desperately trying to find relevant news. Therefore, in order to maintain absolute confidentiality before the shelves and keep fans a sense of mystery, the two publishing houses invested more than ten million dollars in the security link alone!

The printing, transportation and storage of books are extremely demanding. Although they are not up to the level of Harry Potter's seventh book on the earth, they are definitely top treatment.

Anyway, this kind of opportunity to promote your own publishing house, Annie? Carpenter is definitely not to be missed.

Unfortunately, the reporters are not very interested in these things, so wait for Annie? After Carpenter finished speaking, the applause in the hall was even more enthusiastic than welcoming Sun Peng just now, and he was obviously relieved.

Annie? Of course Carpenter didn't care. After two more short sessions, she finally announced: "Well, ladies and gentlemen, next is free question time. Mr. Laobai will answer your questions as much as possible... But please be careful not to mention personal privacy issues, thank you!"

"Huh!"

Annie? As soon as Carpenter's voice fell, his arm was raised like a forest.

"Miss Carter of the Times, please!"

The first one to be called up is naturally Annie? Carpenter's old acquaintance, a red-haired beauty in her early thirties.

After standing up excitedly, the red-haired beauty stared directly at Sun Peng and said loudly: "Mr. Laobai, everyone knows that you are the world's top writer, so the royalty is definitely the highest in the world... I know, the top royalties for authors should be 20%! Does this mean that just for the first printing of 150 million copies, you can get a bonus of 300 million US dollars in royalties?!"

"Om..."

After listening to the question from the beautiful red-haired reporter, Sun Peng was startled, and the audience suddenly became restless.

Many people were bright, their eyes fixed on Sun Peng's face.

Three hundred million dollars in royalties!

This is simply the rhythm of hanging up the rich list of writers!

We must know that after laobai was eliminated last year, the second place on the rich list of writers, the annual income of a big reasoner in the United States is only 170 million US dollars, and a large part of it is the income of the adaptation rights of the work. If you only look at the royalty income, he who published two big-selling mystery novels last year was at most $120 to 30 million!

And the laobai in front of him, just the first print of two new books has 300 million US dollars?

This is not counted as the twelve old books that will inevitably increase in sales due to the launch of new books. You must know that the past few new books have been released to verify this, and there are even two series that have taken the top ten in a single week. Feat!

And more importantly, the 300 million yuan royalties are really not groundless!

Twenty percent of the royalty share is indeed the treatment of the world's top writers. Reporters know this well, and if anyone dares to say that Laobai can't get this figure, someone will definitely slap him.

The UK version of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" is priced at £7.99, which is almost $10; the US version is priced at $9.99, and the Chinese version is priced at 59 Chinese coins...

Twenty percent of royalties are nearly two dollars per book!

With this calculation, does Laobai get nearly $300 million in pre-tax royalties? Moreover, according to his status and reputation, the royalties must be paid within one month after printing. Neither the seal nor the light wheel dare to default.

300 million dollars...

Anyway, thinking of this number makes many people's breath a lot worse.

"Ha ha."

Under the gaze of countless fierce gazes, Sun Peng pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "This question belongs to personal privacy. I didn't want to answer it at first, but... just like this Miss Carter said, the so-called top royalties The share ratio is almost an open secret, I really cannot deny..."
