Chapter 308: The English version of "The Self-cultivation of Actors" is on sale
Early July.
The song "Wukong" was officially released and launched on major music platforms.
Under the arrangement of Lin Bao Studio, the network operation began to impact the hot sales list of various platforms.
In fact, there is no need to advertise to users of various music platforms, even those on the web.
For them, the production of Lin Bao Studio is basically a boutique reservation.
Especially on musical compositions.
Produced by Lin Bao Studio, the quality is all high-quality foundation.
Moreover, the publicity on the last day of June has made too much noise on the Internet.
Dai Qian's new song, Lin Bao's live broadcast room is newly launched, and Lin Bao's live performance of suona is enough to rush to the headlines of the hot search.
So, when it was released in the early morning of July 1st, basically all users who should know knew about the song.
And the quality of the new songs is indeed very good.
The song "Wukong", from the lyrics to the arrangement, is very amazing.
Moreover, unlike the previous opera music, Dai Qian used the method of integrating opera singing and pop singing this time, although relatively speaking, there is no pure opera feeling, but it is still very shocking.
In the song, the spirituality of "Wukong" that I want to express resonates with everyone.
With the song "Wukong" becoming the hottest new song in July, on the premiere, Lin Bao teamed up with Uncle Erhu to play the video version of "Wukong" with suona, which was even more popular on the whole network.
On Douyin, the clip of this video, as well as many short videos of suona, erhu lovers, and professionals imitating this version of "Wukong", have become popular almost within a day or two.
Including the various live broadcast rooms, station B and other content stations, they have also begun to send out relevant videos.
The comments below are even more hilarious.
Just like Lin Bao said in the live broadcast room, the suona instrument is a rogue instrument.
However, as a country in China, everyone basically accepts this instrument.
No one is disgusted by it.
And its high-pitched voice, as soon as it comes out, will instantly give everyone an ear-washing experience.
Not only does it feel novel, especially playing some pop songs, but also the discussion of the suona instrument itself is also very high and very slotted.
Just because of one sentence, this is the only instrument in this world that can be played throughout your life from birth to the first seven.
This sentence alone is enough to make everyone happy and frantically search for videos related to suona.
In just a few days, on the Internet, the search popularity of suona and folk music continued to rise.
The volume of relevant searches across platforms has also skyrocketed.
Coupled with Lin Bao's live folk music class, for a while, on the Internet, everyone's discussion and enthusiasm in this regard were very high.
......
At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, the publication and distribution of the English version of "The Self-cultivation of Actors" published by Hill Publishing Group has also been launched.
Because considering the popularity of this book in the East, and at the same time, various aspects of research have been conducted in the United States in advance, and Hill Group originally treated this book as a key book of the year, so in terms of publicity, Hill Publishing Group is also very hard.
With the help of the publishing process and industry that he has operated for so many years, by mid-July, a month earlier than the original time, the new book officially began to leave the printing house and go on sale.
Taking into account all aspects, the first batch of 300,000 copies was stocked, mainly sold in more than a dozen major cities in the United States.
July 15th.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Wu An went out with his roommate Kit.
Today is the time for the English version of "The Self-cultivation of Actors" to be released in Quanmi.
They also waited for this day early, ready to get a copy back as soon as possible.
On the other side of the campus, picking up Kitt's petite but sexy blonde girlfriend Vivian, the three of them hurried to the south gate.
"We're going to hurry, when I went out just now, I seemed to hear that there were already a lot of people on the City Lights side who started to grab it!"
Vivien said as she tucked her wavy blonde hair.
"Definitely, recently, everyone in the film production department has been talking about this book, and I'm afraid that the entire Southern California Film Academy students are thinking about buying a copy. ”
Kitt said.
"Hurry up, don't sell out by then!"
Wu An also followed them and quickened his pace.
Outside the south gate of the university, there is a noisy commercial street.
Restaurants, supermarkets, bookstores, and bank offices are all available, and it is the most frequented place for USC students to relax and after school.
After going out of the south gate and walking more than ten meters to the west, you can see the sign of the "City Lights" bookstore over there.
However, what made them desperate was that there was already a long queue at the door.
"So many people ......"
Walking in, Wu An swept through a long queue, and he could probably recognize a lot of them, who should be students from several film schools in the surrounding area.
Everyone is here to buy the English version of "Actor's Self-cultivation".
At the door of the bookstore, a big sign reads "The Self-cultivation of Actors" in luminescent font, and the pre-sale time is today.
It's been almost a week now.
When Wu An had no choice but to line up behind the long line, he saw a few people coming out of the bookstore, and there must be at least a dozen books in the plastic bag in their hands.
Look at the cover, it is "The Self-cultivation of Actors".
After another ten seconds, several students came out of it, each with at least two copies of "Actor's Self-cultivation".
"Isn't it......"
Looking at them one by one, Wu An suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, just as they had been queuing for more than ten minutes, there was a commotion in the bookstore in front of them.
Then several people came out of it, empty-handed, and the expressions on their faces were not very good.
"Hi buddy!"
In front, someone in the queue greeted and asked, "...... new book?"
"It's gone, it's sold out, that copy of "Actor's Self-cultivation". ”
Several people who came out of it had bitter faces.
"Huh, sold out!"
There was a queue of at least fifty people outside, all of whom were stunned, "So fast? Isn't it on sale at eight o'clock, it's only been ten minutes!"
"It's all to blame on the guys in front of you...... There was one who bought twenty copies by himself!"
One person gritted his teeth a little, "The boss said, he bought five hundred copies, and they sold out quickly. ”
Hearing him say this, a sigh suddenly rang out in the crowd.
"What should I do?"
Kit also looked at Wu An and Vivian helplessly.
"Go inside and ask the boss to see when it's in stock......"
Wu An said.
Immediately, three people went to the store, and several other people followed in a little unwillingly.
"There's really no ......"
As soon as I entered the door, I saw some bald bosses standing there by the counter, explaining helplessly.
"I've already called the wholesaler just now, and if a new batch comes, it will be at least after four o'clock this afternoon. ”
"The book sold so well that it was said that several of the big bookstores in the city were sold out. Perhaps, there may be some smaller bookstores, you can go and find them. ”
"On my side, it may not be until four o'clock...... You can leave a phone number......"
As he was talking, the phone rang non-stop, and the boss took it, and in response, someone still came to ask about the news of the new book "Actor's Self-cultivation".
Seeing that the boss was on the phone, Wu An and Kitt were about to turn around and leave, but Vivian was sharp-eyed, and saw a stack of six or seven new books behind the boss's counter, and then walked over and asked, "Boss, don't I see how many more are there over there?"
The boss looked at her and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, these books were ordered in advance by several teachers in Southern California, and I reserved them for them." ”
"The teacher ordered it?"
Vivien was a little surprised.
"Yes, teachers at the Film and Television Academy. You're all USC students, aren't you?"
The boss hung up the phone in his hand, turned around and said, "The recent book "Self-cultivation of Actors" is very popular! After the pre-sale news was released in the past few days, people kept coming to me to ask, and even several old professors from the film and television school came to me to make reservations! How could it be so popular?
"This book is a divine book, a classic textbook on acting, and it is very wonderfully written!"
Kit also praised it without hesitation, "This book was jointly recommended by Leonardo and Tom Hanks, and they were the first Western readers of this book!
"Really, so powerful?"
The boss was also a little surprised.
He also knew that it was a book of performance theory. When I ordered the book before, I also felt that some evaluations, including wholesalers and the Internet, all attached great importance to this book.
However, he believes that this book is only a performance theory book after all, not a story book, not everyone loves to read it, and it will definitely not reach the point where it will be universal.
Unexpectedly, this morning, there was an endless stream of people buying this book, and there was a long queue outside.
Although it is said that this is the light of the film and television academy, it is enough to see this book, which has the potential to be a big hit!
"I see what is written on this, the author's name, is actually an Oriental? Moreover, he is only 27 years old?"
The boss asked again.
"Yes, this book was released in the East before, and it was very popular, and now the sales are probably millions of copies!"
Wu An also said, "So, boss, you can order more later." Don't be afraid that you won't be able to sell out, these colleges have tens of thousands of students in film and television schools recently, so you don't have to worry about not being able to sell them!"
"That's for sure! I've called the wholesaler just now and asked them to send more. However, it is also difficult to allocate them now, unless it is 3,000 copies, otherwise, only 500 copies......"
"I'll look at the boss, you can just order 3,000 copies!
Kitt said.
Just looking at the situation outside the medium-sized bookstore "City Lights", it is enough to see that after this period of publicity, coupled with the recommendation of many Hollywood brands, this book is from the East, and the sales are definitely going to explode.
"By the way, boss, can we make a reservation with you?
Wu An said suddenly.
In fact, in the East, although publishing bookstores are still the mainstream stores of physical books.
However, for example, some e-commerce platforms that are on the rise, online book sales platforms, have begun to make appointments for sales.
Before "The Self-cultivation of Actors", from the very beginning, it was sold online and offline at the same time, and both sides were sold well.
In the United States, although the Internet is also developed, platforms like Amazon are even more than those domestic e-commerce platforms, but this time, Hill Publishing doesn't know why, and didn't choose to use these e-commerce platforms to open online pre-sales, and the efficiency and popularity will definitely be higher.
"Half the deposit?"
When the boss heard this, his heart was also moved.
In fact, he himself has opened a bookstore here all year round to sell books, but he will not pit these students, and he does not dare.
The reason why I only reserved a few books for a few teachers before was that I was afraid that after the reservation was completed, I would keep them for myself, and they would not come to buy them at that time.
Now it seems that the book is currently in short supply, and these students are willing to pay a deposit, so he is naturally happy.
If you don't earn money, you're a bastard, no!
Immediately, on his computer, he helped Wu An record the three and paid the deposit.
Later, when other people heard it, they also stepped forward one after another and chose to book.
"Let's go boss, let's go back first, and come back at four o'clock in the afternoon......"
After Wu An finished the three of them, he went outside.
I happened to meet a few more people, hurriedly walked in, and saw Wu An come out empty-handed, and asked a little tentatively, "Sold out?"
"It's sold out!"
Wu An said with a smile, "However, you can go inside to make an appointment with the boss, but you need to pay half of the deposit." ”
"Pay a deposit?"
When a few students heard this, they hesitated for a moment, but still walked in to make an appointment.
On the way back to the school gate, Wu An saw a lot of college students, walking towards the "City Lights" over there, obviously for the purpose of "Actor's Self-cultivation". I also met several acquaintances, and even a young lecturer in the grade, and after answering the greetings, Wu An and they went to make an appointment.
With this amount, I'm afraid that the boss of the "City Lights" will have hundreds of copies for pre-sale this morning.
The three of them alone were at the boss's place just now, and seven copies were registered.
The other four books are also collected, and you can send them to friends after reading them.
Such a hot occasion can already be said to be a bestseller.
Although he didn't write this book by himself, and he didn't get a single royalty, Wu An himself participated in the writing of this book, and even put forward a lot of opinions, which can be regarded as having some of his ideas.
Therefore, when he saw "Actor's Self-cultivation", he was also very excited.
I am excited that this book can be discovered and sought after by everyone, and for Mr. Lin Bao.
Especially now, this book has become popular from China to the other side of the ocean and has been accepted by Western readers, and Wu Anxin has also risen a sense of pride.
......
Back in the dormitory, Wu An also turned on the computer and began to read the news and comments on the Internet about the release of new books.
Basically, as he thought, not only the "City Lights" at the gate of Southern California, but also Los Angeles, and even the entire United States in various cities with sales points, are all sold out.
On the Internet, the first wave of people who got the book also began to pop some thoughts on the Internet.
It's basically all praise.
Lin Bao's book itself is not a very theoretical, difficult theoretical book.
The whole content is simple to understand, and it is written with some stories and scenes, but the elaboration of the entire system is very classic.
The English version, which has been reviewed and modified by Lin Bao, is basically not much different from the original version.
In terms of the performance system, it is the same in both the East and the West.
In particular, some professionals in the film and television industry with acting experience, as well as students of film and television schools, after getting this book, Xi Shi rushed to read the first few chapters, and couldn't wait to start Amway on the Internet.
They are all words of appreciation without hesitation.
On the entire network, there is a trend of praise, even better than the previous debut in the East.
Of course, in addition to the evaluation of the content, more comments and comments are ......
Can't buy it!
