How does a novel that sells 32 copies in a new book period and has a profit of less than $15 have anything to do with CNN?

CNN doesn't broadcast 24-hour global news?

Wang gradually held the microphone, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Then, he hurriedly picked up the remote control and switched the TV channel.

I saw that a female host on TV was broadcasting the news in a serious tone.

"Yesterday, the famous Los Angeles rapper, 2pac, was shot while recording a show. This is another heavyweight event in the American rap industry recently, following the death of Eazy-E, an important member of the former rap group N.W.A, due to AIDS. ”

Although its media spokesperson claimed that 2PAC was no longer in danger of life. But this incident still made the violent crime between rappers on the east and west coasts more and more intense appear in front of the public. ”

"Next, let's watch the surveillance video outside the camera studio at the time of the crime. ”

Then, the TV screen turned.

I saw a group of black people sitting outside the studio, swallowing clouds.

Al is in the picture, giggling with a few of his companions.

Among these people, the scene of two black men in the back row gathering together with their heads on their heads, smoking cigarettes and flipping through books is even more conspicuous.

At this time, a black man who walked arrogantly came to the studio, surrounded by a group of people.

Al and the others stood up and stood in their path.

Then, the two gangs got into an argument.

And the big guy that Al followed also came out of the studio and entered the surveillance screen.

The arrogant man didn't know what to say, which made El Boss angry.

The two stood together with their heads on top of each other, like two fighting cocks.

Suddenly, the arrogant man took out a pistol from his pocket and put it on Al's head.

Al's boss, on the other hand, raised his hands in a little panic.

And the arrogant man pointed a gun at Al and the others while saying something.

Behind Al, the two who were reading a book only then raised their heads with a confused look.

Then I saw the two black men, put down the novel, took out a pistol, and shot at the arrogant man.

The little brother behind the arrogant man was suddenly panicked.

Al and a group of people were also dumbfounded.

The scene cut back to the studio, and the hostess continued: "At present, the suspect has been arrested by the police, and his lawyer has been interviewed by our reporter outside the police station. ”

The camera cuts to the door of the police station again, and a middle-aged white man said into the microphone: "First of all, the 2pac side takes the initiative to provoke first." ”

"And my agent was overreacting after being frightened, which should be considered excessive defense. ”

"In addition, my attorney was violently assaulted when he was young and had certain mental problems, for which I have applied to the court for a psychiatric report. ”

"Finally, I would like to note that my agent was influenced by some books that promote violence to commit such a crime. ”

And that book, in a book publishing institution, was actually rated as an all-age destination. We will also lodge a protest with the publisher and ask the court to consider it at its discretion. ”

Then, the screen pans back to the studio.

At this time, Wang gradually was already dumbfounded.

He didn't know what to look like or what to do.

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly called Al back.

"Al, what's going on, why are you blaming my book for what happened?"

I only listened to Al on the other side muttering for a while, and then said: "After the lawyer the big guy found for him saw the surveillance, he suggested that we say that we were influenced by that book, so that we can win the judge's sympathy and understanding." ”

"Then you can't say that you are under the influence of marijuana? On the surveillance, you are all smoking, isn't this more credible than being influenced by books?" Wang gradually raised his voice.

"The lawyer said that smoking marijuana is a soft drug. Not only will it not be forgiven by the judge, but it may also increase the bad feeling and even increase the sentence. Al's voice grew quieter.

"Don't worry, though. Al continued, "The big guy said that when we get back to New York, I'll compensate you." ”

Fart compensation!

Lao Tzu is considered to have fallen into blood mold, and publishing books not only does not make money, but also makes a bad reputation.

Wang gradually put down the microphone and scratched his head vigorously.

"The real TM people sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky. He muttered to himself, "It's a beep dog." ”

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang again.

Wang gradually picked up the phone without calling.

"Don't say it, it's bad luck for Lao Tzu to know you. I'll move out tomorrow!"

Suddenly, the voice of Roy from Scholakuro Press came from the opposite side.

"'I Am an Archmage' has only been published for 20 hours, and it has not yet reached Los Angeles. ”

Of the 32 novels that have been sold in New York, 27 have been purchased by bookstore owners. Four were purchased for a small library and one was missing, but it was purchased by a young white boy. ”

The king hesitated for a while before he had to admit, "Yes, I took the one as a souvenir." ”

Unmoved, Roy continued, "The Los Angeles Criminal Court has just applied to the publisher to show the synopsis of the story at the time I Am the Archmage was submitted, to determine whether there was a tendency to lead violence during the creation of the novel. ”

"The Publishing and Distribution Industry Association also sent an industry self-inspection letter, asking us to conduct a new rating review of "I Am a Grand Master" to determine whether it is all-age. ”

Wang gradually opened his mouth and found that he could not say a word except "".

Eventually, all he could say to Roy was, "I'm sorry, I didn't know anything like this was going to happen." ”

"But, I really didn't lead the violence!" Wang gradually said, "You have read the original manuscript." ”

Roy's voice was cold, and he said, "I don't count if I say it, the judge says it." ”

Wang Yan's heart was like falling into an ice hole, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Then, will I go to prison?"

Roy replied, "No, there has never been a novelist who has been criminally punished for that reason. ”

Wang gradually felt lighter, but immediately asked again: "Then, do I need to lose money to the publishing house?"

"Although I don't have any money right now, I can go to work. Although he felt that he was wronged, he still had to plead: "I will definitely pay back the publishing house's distribution fee." ”

Roy's voice still didn't fluctuate, and said, "No, you don't deliberately sabotage the publishing house's distribution plan. ”

"This incident is an accident. It doesn't have much to do with you. ”

When Wang gradually heard this, his eyes were a little red.

He said gratefully, "So what should I do to make up for the loss of the publishing house?"

"Get your signature pen ready. Roy's voice suddenly became excited.

He said loudly: "I'll be in your apartment right away, and we're going to increase the circulation and publish 100,000 copies before the rating results come out!"

"Haha, Wang, you're going to be red!"
