Chapter 34: The First Day
Early the next morning.
When the sun has fully risen, New York has transformed from a drunken city that never sleeps to a hurried financial capital of the world.
And inside the NYU dormitory.
Dorsey's eyes were red, and his fingers crackled on the keyboard.
"I'm telling you, the new magic developed using the principle of resonance is perfectly justified in the author's novel setting. ”
...
"What, you ask me who I am, why do I make all the fuss here?"
"This is my personal website, who do you say I am? I'm still a double bachelor of computer technology and theoretical physics from New York University, do you think I'm qualified?"
He rubbed his wrist angrily, then tapped on the keyboard and said, "I can post the school emblem as proof!"
After replying to the message a few more times.
He angrily turned off his computer and walked back to bed, muttering, "A bunch of idiots, show them the Arcane Throne, it's a tainted book." ”
At the same time, Scholastic Press, inside a spacious office.
Roy, the new editor-in-chief, held yesterday's sales data for "Arcane Throne" in his hand, and his brow furrowed tightly.
Thirty-eight thousand copies.
$40 per copy.
Yesterday, the young, somewhat over-the-top Asian made more than $1 million for Random House.
What's even more terrifying is that this is only the first volume.
In the future, there will be more volumes.
He put down the data in his hand, and thought about it as his fingers tapped lightly on his desk.
Last time, I offended that young man for a few royalties, is it a little unwise?
He pressed his hand to his temple, thinking about what might happen next.
The Arcane Throne was a huge success.
With two blockbuster books, Wang gradually became the darling of the publishing industry.
And he becomes the villain in someone else's legendary story.
Is it a laughing stock in the industry that gives up long-term interests for the sake of immediate interests?
And every time a new Arcane Throne is released, this kind of thing is mentioned once.
No, that must not happen!
He called the secretary in on the phone and instructed, "Bring up the sales analysis report of "Arcane Divine Throne" yesterday as soon as possible. ”
And inside the office building of Random House.
Old Jack, who had been promoted to deputy editor-in-chief, looked gloomily at the "Arcane Throne" editorial team that was cheering not far away.
I remembered Tom, who was fired because he refused to write "I Am an Archmage".
Thinking that the other party turned over because of the agent of "Arcane Constellation", the salted fish turned over, and may even directly use the original incident as a talking point, so that more people can understand the truth.
He clenched his fists and began to think about how to take the credit for the success of Arcane Throne.
If it doesn't work, then press it down!
However, he didn't notice that a young man had just left the editor-in-chief's office in a hurry.
This young man is the assistant of Bezos, a former veteran of the financial industry and a newcomer to the Internet.
He walked out of the office building of Random House, took out his mobile phone and called Bezos, saying, "The electronic copyright of Arcane Throne is not in the hands of Random House. ”
Moreover, judging from the current situation, Random House is also reluctant to synchronize the online sales of "Arcane Throne", which should be to protect the sales of its many physical bookstores. ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
"Then buy the press release as originally planned, use Cadabra as the website name, and officially announce the official launch of the first online bookstore. ”
"However, at present, in the popular novel market, "Arcane Throne" is the most popular, and our website cannot sell it, which will cause book buyers to doubt the comprehensiveness of the books on the website, what should I do?"
"Okay. ”
"I'll try to unite with several other publishers to suppress Arcane Throne, don't worry. ”
Just when the publishing industry was bustling with excitement because of the Arcane Throne.
The authorship of "Arcane Throne", Wang gradually looked at the blonde woman beside him with a blank expression.
He pressed his hangover-wrenching head as he struggled to remember what he had done last night.
Birthday Parties,
Drinking, drinking a lot.
Then, go home.
Then...
Dig the groove!
He leaned forward to see the woman beside him.
"It hurts. The blond head turned around and said to Wang Yan, "You pressed my hair." ”
None other than Lily.
Wang gradually was stunned for a moment, and then lifted the quilt to take a look.
Then, I hurriedly covered the quilt again.
Yesterday, what the hell did I do!
The community labor is over, how can it be together again!
Lily looked at Wang's reaction and smiled.
Then, he generously lifted the quilt, and while wearing underwear scattered on the ground, he said with a smile: "The technology has improved, and it is the level that an eighteen-year-old man should have." ”
Then, she suddenly lay on the bed, stared at Wang gradually and said, "I think it's good to have a best-selling author as a lover if you don't get married." ”
Wang gradually looked at Lily, who was only wearing red underwear, and was about to speak.
Lily then said, "Okay, I'm going back." Jean can't be allowed to find out that his mom didn't come home yesterday. ”
"You know my phone number. She put on her coat and said, "It's no longer the relationship between the sign-in officer and the prisoner." Well, it tastes pretty good. ”
Wang gradually took advantage of Lily's time to go to the bathroom to wash, quickly put on her clothes, and asked, "Is it really okay for us to do this?"
"What's the problem," Lily said as she washed her face, "You're single at the moment, and I'm not going to remarry." ”
"Come on, this is New York!"
Wang was about to say something more when the doorbell suddenly rang.
He glanced at Lily, who had been washed and dressed, and hesitated for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Lily opened the door generously and said hello to Tom outside the door.
Then, in a dashing manner, he turned and left.
Tom walked into the room with a lewd smile and said to Wang Yan: "Get the sign-in officer, or as a prisoner, you really have you." ”
Wang gradually rubbed his head, sighed helplessly, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Tom took out a few pieces of printer paper, handed them to Wang Yan, and said, "This is the analysis report of the sales of "Arcane Constellation" yesterday. ”
Wang gradually took the report and asked, "Is there any problem?"
Tom became serious and said, "The Arcane Throne is not highly rated among fans of "I Am an Archmage". ”
Wang gradually nodded.
He had expected this.
However, it is quite popular among the buyers of traditional fantasy novels. ”
"But because of the influence of "I Am an Archmage", many of these people did not buy it. ”
"So, I'm going to give Random House advice to target this group of people. ”
