Chapter 781: Encircle and suppress Lin Han!

Views:

Now on the book sales list, "The Little Prince", the work he was responsible for introducing, is still firmly standing at the forefront. This is the 2013 version, five years ago.

Sometimes quality doesn't have much to do with sales. For example, for many books published by celebrities, people in the industry simply can't understand the nonsense written by Shen Shen Dao, but fans just like this and buy them. That just boosted sales.

It has become popular all over the world since 2000, not only making Tippi a goddess in the eyes of children around the world, but also making the sales of this book remain high. It has been published in dozens of countries around the world, and the cumulative sales have reached tens of millions!

The work I saw more than ten years ago was published again more than ten years later. I have grown up from a young reader, and many people have children, so not only can I review it myself, but I can also show it to my children!

There are more than two million copies every year, and it can occupy a spot on the annual sales list every year. It can be said to be a veritable cancer on the list.

Other cancers on the list include "Classic Yilin: The Complete Collection of Aesop's Fables" and "Classic Yilin: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" ranked third, two books produced by Jiangsu Yilin Publishing House. "Classic Translation" is the flagship series of their publishing house, and they also introduced "The Little Prince".

So many literary masterpieces and fairy tales were written many years ago. In the past, there were fairy tale kings Zheng Yuanjie, Yang Hongying and others on Lin Han's earth to compete with classic works, but now Lin Han can't find them at all!

"Whether we hit it or not, we have to make it happen. We can't drag it out." Tu Yonghua was probably giving himself confidence. "The current children's book market depends on reviews. Only classic works can sell well."

The person opposite said in agreement: "Only books that have been tested by word-of-mouth can make breakthroughs in the market. This book "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" also has the bonus of an animated movie, and its sales may be better than "The Little Prince"!"

I don't know how many versions of "The Little Prince" there are, but this version by Tianjin People's Publishing House is recognized as the best, with cumulative sales of more than 10 million copies in the past five years!

Their sales may no longer have explosive sales, and they will not suddenly sell millions of copies in one week, but stable sales can ensure that they are about the same every week, with more than 100,000 or 200,000 copies every month, and there are still 100,000 or 200,000 copies a year. Two million copies sold!

"Since it has passed the review, when will it be available on the market?" Cao Wenlong asked. He still knew his publisher's publications very well!

"My Wild Animal Friends" mainly tells the story of Tippi, a little French girl who was born in Africa. Her parents are professional wildlife photographers. After Tippi was born, she followed her parents to visit the deserts and jungles of southern Africa and came into contact with them. Passed many wild animals.

This year is a head-on collision, and the competition among books in the same genre is obviously more intense!

Since he was named by the general manager, Li Jingtao had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer despite Cao Wenlong's anger: "Mr. Cao, the book "My Wild Animal Friends" we are planning to reprint just passed the review of the General Administration of Press and Publication the day before yesterday. It’s been over ten years since it was last published.”

In the Tianjin People's Publishing House, Tu Yonghua, the editor in charge of children's literary masterpieces, browsed the reviews of Lin Han's new book on the Internet with a smile on his face.

"He should just write science fiction. Fairy tales are not something that can be played casually!"

If "Charlotte's Web" is a fairy tale woven by Lin Han, then this "My Wild Animal Friends" is a real-life fairy tale.

The ninth place is occupied by "Gulliver's Travels", and the tenth place is "Peter Rabbit and His Friends".

An elephant ready to run suddenly stopped in front of a girl with open arms, a lion sucked the little girl's finger to sleep, and there was a girl wearing only small pants sitting on the back of an ostrich. In these anti-corrosion fairy tales The picture book illustrations are truly presented in front of readers.

This is the advantage of becoming a classic. After many years, it continues to be sold.

"Look at this sales list. From the weekly list, monthly list, half-year list, and annual list, can any of you find the shadow of our publishing house? This cannot continue. We must show efficiency. Lao Li, there are ten of you Don't the book editorial department and a journal center have any measures? If this continues, not to mention the loss of year-end bonuses, I'm afraid even wages will be a problem."

Lin Han's current popularity is no worse than that of those little fresh meat. In just a few years, his sales have increased from zero to 50 million copies. These are all real!

Inside Yunnan Education Press, general manager Cao Wenlong was pointing at the list data on the projector and kept shouting, "It is said that electronic reading has had an impact on physical reading, so our business volume continues to shrink. But now physical reading has begun Recovery and our sales are not improving!”

Tu Yonghua's face also became slightly solemn. Even if he thought Lin Han might be a failure in writing fairy tales, he would never naively think that the sales volume of "Charlotte's Web" must not be good!

"Brother Hua, will our reprint of "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" run into him next month?" Another editor said slightly worriedly. No one wants to see a schedule conflict with Lin Han.

"The ISBN and the CIP registration number are similar. The final drawing is being done now. Including printing and publicity, it will probably have to wait until April."

There is also the "Parent-Child Picture Book" series published by Xinjiang Youth Publishing House, which occupies the fifth to eighth fourth places, including the phonetic version of "Andersen's Fairy Tales", "Grimm's Fairy Tales", "One Thousand and One Nights" and "One Thousand and One Nights". Aesop's Fables"!

Cao Wenlong's heart skipped a beat. The publishing house had encountered Lin Hanfa's "The Matrix" last year. Although the two books were of completely different genres, they were still affected!

This book is a moving story and personal experience she wrote about living with various wild animals in Africa after she returned to Paris. It also incorporates more than 130 photos, text and text of wild animals taken by her parents in Africa. The photos are not only worth admiring, but also can arouse people's awareness of protecting nature and wild animals!

The harmonious atmosphere in the picture brings a strong visual impact, and it accidentally touches people of all ages...

At present, the weekly sales volume remains at more than 50,000 copies, and it can sell 200,000 copies a month, firmly occupying the top spot in the children's literature classics category.

Ranked second on the best-selling list of children's literature masterpieces is also "The Little Prince", but this version was published by China Overseas Chinese Publishing House in 2010. The weekly sales of this book are also hovering on the edge of 50,000!

If this book is released now, it will not only have a fatal attraction for children, but also have a sentiment for adults.
