"Since Teacher An'an does not pay attention to this project at all, we don't need to be too concerned. Although the market potential of children's picture books is greater than that of literary picture books, new vests like 'Anssen' have released works without any publicity. How could this have good sales?" said Sun Xiumin, Chen Chengle's deputy, said.

Sun Xiumin was not optimistic about "Anssen Children's Picture Book" at the beginning because the physical book market does not mean that any book is of good quality and can sell well. There are very few pure new authors who can publish physical books. Unless they publish at their own expense, how can the publisher take the risk to help pure new authors publish their works? Or they have strong connections that can ask other famous artists to recommend his new works, and some famous artists recommend such a waistband, which makes people more confident.

Generally speaking, publishers are more welcome to serialize in magazines and make famous authors. Such authors have a popularity foundation. If the work maintains a good reputation and quality, then naturally, "the wine is not afraid of deep alleys."

Of course, Teacher An An is very famous and the quality of her works is also very high, but she insists on using the new vest, and she does not use her own fame to create momentum for the new vest. In this case, the publishing house directly helped her print 50,000 copies for the first time, which is already very respectful.

When Chen Chengle heard Sun Xiumin's words and saw the other people agreeing deeply, he couldn't help but regret: "The quality of this children's picture book is really very high. If possible, I don't want it to be buried. It doesn't give us any publicity resources. It seems that they didn't take this children's picture book to heart... Think about it, the sales of any single martial arts comic book by Teacher Yi'an can instantly kill all picture book works. It is impossible for them to pay attention to it in the same way."

In the end, Chen Chengle gave up helplessly, and the project was temporarily shelved. Sun Xiumin and others even felt that whether this children's picture book could be sold out completely is a question whether it was a problem if the first 50,000 copies of the children's picture book was sold out. After all, the sales volume was less than 1,000 copies in a week after it was launched.

But in this world, there are always some people who like to explore books who can dig out some buried gold.

Jiang Yulan is a primary school Chinese teacher who likes to read. She has a cute five-year-old daughter. Every weekend, she will take her daughter to the bookstore in the city center to read books, and she will also go to take a picture of books herself.

Every time she arrives at the bookstore, she will take her daughter to the children's picture book area. When the child is young, reading picture books with her is a good way of enlightenment, especially if she reads high-quality picture books.

In Jiang Yulan's mind, the best picture book is of course Teacher An'an's "Flying Bird Collection", but it is a literary picture book, which is not suitable for children. They cannot understand the poems and paintings in it at all, but literary youths regard "Flying Bird Collection" as one of the must-read classic picture books.

Jiang Yulan familiarly took out the third volume of "Yang Yingna Children's Picture Book" and prepared to read it with her daughter.

Yang Yingna is a senior picture book painter who focuses on children's picture books. Her works have excellent sales and have even been sold overseas and have been translated into many languages. Five years ago, she ranked first in the list of picture book painters.

To be fair, her works are indeed good and extremely productive. She has been working hard in the field of children's picture books for more than ten years. It is inevitable that she can achieve such achievements today.

It was only last year that Teacher An'an's literary picture book "Flying Birds Collection" was released, which slightly broke Yang Yingna's dominance. At that time, a reporter who was afraid of the world was in chaos interviewed Yang Yingna and asked her what she thought about "Flying Birds Collection".

The reporter who likes to stir up the flames said a lot of things that make people feel uncomfortable before asking Yang Yingna’s opinion on “The Bird Collection”. For example, although your children’s picture books are sold at a high level, they are not as good as Teacher An’s skills in terms of connotation and painting skills. Of course, the reporter’s speaking level is still very high. He did not say these words directly, but expressed this meaning in a roundabout way.

However, Yang Yingna has seen many storms and waves, so she will not be fooled by reporters. She is recognized as having a good reputation in the circle, so she just smiled and said that she admires Teacher An'an's literary picture books and hopes that Teacher An'an will continue to work hard.

She knew that An An focused on the field of comics, and the picture books were just drawing literary picture books, which could not threaten her status at all. Why did she offend a genius like Teacher An An?

Besides, the money she earns in a year is actually enough for her to spend her whole life, so she is very open-minded and often likes to promote new picture book painters.

After all, in Greater China, comics are the real mainstream. If you can make a splash in the comic field, who would draw picture books?

After Jiang Yulan accompanied her daughter to read the picture books for a while, she was about to let her read it by herself. She said to her daughter: "Nao Nao, just read the books by yourself, and mom will also find some books to accompany you."

Although Nao Nao’s nickname is “Nao Nao”, she is actually very quiet. She nodded obediently.

When Jiang Yulan went to book a book, her young girl Nao Nao also put down the "Yang Yingna Children's Picture Book". She was actually tired of reading Yang Yingna's picture books and always felt that they were similar. She thought they were interesting at first, but after reading several books, she felt that they were really boring. Moreover, the paintings inside were not very good, and they didn't feel like they were cute at all. It was not as good as the comic works she secretly read at home!

Nao Nao is obviously a precocious child. Otherwise, how could ordinary children dislike Yang Yingna's works?

Nao Nao also began to look for other children's picture books at will. By coincidence, she saw a lonely book in the corner "Anssen Children's Picture Book". She thought the cover was very beautiful, so she picked up the picture book and read it...

When she opened the picture book and saw the pictures inside, her eyes lit up. These paintings were so exquisite. Just these beautiful paintings attracted her all at once!

When Jiang Yulan came back with the book she had found, she saw her daughter reading a new picture book, and she was so interested in reading it, even more devoted than when she was reading with her daughter before!

This made her curious. When she walked to her daughter, she was also attracted by the exquisite painting skills inside. She even had the idea of ​​"It is really a waste to draw picture books with such painting skills", which shows how pleasing the paintings in this picture book are. (To be continued.)
