Hollywood starts with animation

Barnes & Noble Bookstore.

It has a history of 115 years and is the largest physical bookstore chain and the second largest online bookstore in the United States.

As of mid-1998, there were only 352 bookstores owned by major universities in the United States; there were as many as 450 community bookstores; as for the number of commercial bookstores in major cities, the number was as high as thousands, which is worthy of the name. America's largest bookstore chain.

On August 3, when its major stores opened, a large number of customers came to buy books.

"Are there any books on Harry Potter?"

A young man in his 20s asked a bookstore guide.

"Yes, right there."

The shopping guide responded and pointed to the large recommendation column bookshelf in the most conspicuous position at the entrance of the bookstore.

Good guys!

Thousands of books of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" are neatly placed on the large recommended shelf.

"Wow, that's a lot." The 20-year-old exclaimed.

Many of the customers who subsequently entered the bookstore came for the books of Harry Potter.

Have paid for it.

"This placement is really conspicuous, you can see it as soon as you enter the hall." A middle-aged man exclaimed.

"Of course."

An old woman in her 50s agreed: "Don't forget, this is a book that Dylan wrote and recommended himself."

Another girl smiled and said: "It can be placed on the large recommended bookshelf. Not much else. Jin Shuguang Publishing House must have spent a lot of money."

In fact, it is true.

Barnes & Noble Bookstore, as the largest physical bookstore in the United States, recommends bookshelves by the owners of its major bookstores, and countless publishers compete for it every day.Jin Shuguang Publishing House was able to win this main recommendation position, of course, at a price.

"Bring me a copy of Harry Potter."

"I heard that Dylan loves it, so I will also buy one and have a look."

"Well, I just watched it for a while and thought it was really good."

Many people around the customers who bought books started talking.Of course, with the passage of time bit by bit, the number of people who came to buy "Harry Potter" has also increased.

In just one hour, 370 Harry Potter books were sold at Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Los Angeles Heights Shopping Plaza.

This sales figure is definitely not low!

You should know that after the movie "Jurassic Park" was released in 1993, the novel of the same name was also released for the second time. Of course, it was also arranged in the main recommendation of Barnes & Noble Bookstore.At the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Los Angeles Heights Shopping Plaza, its one-hour sales volume is only 420.

That's right, the current sales of the first book of "Harry Potter" are lower than that of "Jurassic Park."

However, don't forget, this is the sales volume when the "Harry Potter" movie was not released.

.......

The capital of Oregon, Poland.

At the entrance of the famous bookstore Powell's Book City, there are dozens of people queuing at this moment, including customers who came to buy Harry Potter.

Many people started to complain constantly!

"Damn Powell's Book City, they didn't even have "Harry Potter"?!"

"Yes, I never thought that as the largest bookstore in Oregon, Powell's bookstore could ignore Dylan's influence."

"Man, I just learned that Demi Moore, the owner of Powell's City of Books, is Dylan's enemy. How could he prepare for Harry Potter?"

"It turns out that it is, but I believe that no capitalist will have trouble with money."

In fact, they guessed it right!

The manager of Powell’s Powell’s branch is calling his boss at the moment.

"Boss, we are not fully prepared for "Harry Potter" books. The 500 books we prepared were all sold out in less than 2 hours. Now there are more than 70 people waiting in line outside the bookstore."

The manager was sweating all over.

My boss and Dylan are rivals, so I didn't prepare so many Harry Potter books in advance.

Of course, there is no shortage of people who want to please their boss.

"You idiot!"

On the phone, Demi Moore, the owner of Powell’s City of Books, cursed more than: "Dylan and I are rivals, but we don’t hate money. Why don’t you prepare more? Why are you calling me now? , Call the publisher cleanly!"

"Yes, yes~" the manager replied.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and solve it. If you can't solve it, you will resign and leave for me, idiot!" An angry roar came from the phone again.

.......

Jin Shuguang Publishing Group.

At this moment, everyone in the operation department of the publishing group is very busy, constantly answering calls from all over the United States.

"Barnes & Noble Bookstore has 3 branches in Auckland. Need 2,000 copies of Harry Potter, right? But I'm sorry, we don't have so many stocks now. Today, 1,500 copies are already the limit."

"You need 1,200 books at the Sparrow Bookstore. No, no, there are not so many. I can only give you 800. Yes, we are old friends, yes, but it is difficult for me to do it now. You have to be considerate of me, man."

"White Diamond Bookstore, 900 copies."

"Xunxun Bookstore, 2000 books."

"Snow White and Prince's House, 1,400 copies, coming soon!"

...

In just one day, the first 500,000 books of "Harry Potter" were sold.

When Zhuke saw the report, he immediately ordered: "Alexander, tell the publisher Hassan to print and distribute "Harry Potter" with all my strength. Within a week, I will start working hard, and at least 2 million copies."

"Uh... boss, will it be too much?" Alexander hesitated.

It makes sense for him to hesitate. The reason why he was able to sell 500,000 books on the first day was due to Dylan's influence, not the quality of Harry Potter itself.

According to the news that Alexander got, Jobs alone bought 5000 copies of Harry Potter at once.

Don't ask the reason!

Because Jobs is Dylan's loyal little brother!

If it weren't for Dylan's preface to "Harry Potter" and personal recommendation, Jobs would never buy a Harry Potter book.

"Boss, after all, our "Harry Potter" has not yet begun to be filmed, and tomorrow's sales will definitely drop. 200 copies are a bit too much." Alexander said in a deep voice.

At his words, the tenant smiled indifferently.

Subordinates questioned Zhuke's decision. This was the privilege Zhuke gave to Alexander, because Zhuke himself had some shortcomings and needed others to make up for it.

Of course, if Zhuke decides, there is only one way to go.

"Go. Don't underestimate our "Harry Potter", let alone 2 million copies, believe it or not, after the movie is released, it will sell tens of millions of copies!" Zhu Klang laughed.

"......"

Alexander naturally did not believe it, but he was still shocked.

Can "Harry Potter" sell tens of millions of copies?

real or fake?!

In fact, as of 2020, the "Harry Potter" series of books have sold 390 million copies of genuine books worldwide, second only to "Maoyu" and "Bible".

Of course, it is mainly because of the result of film and television and Time Warner operation!

In the original time and space history, a small British publishing house was responsible for the first publication of "Harry Potter", and the effect was not very good.

In 3 months, only less than 1,000 copies were sold.

However, with the inclusion of Time China, it only took less than 40 days to sell 3.9 million copies in the United States around the world.

The advantages of the media group are full!

Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, even if it is far inferior to Time Warner Group, but with Zhu Ke’s hard work, other places dare not talk about it. Only in the book distribution market in the United States, Zhu Ke dares to fight Time Warner.
