Chapter 51: The market is everything
When Emilia first met Arthur, she felt that he was tall and fierce, strong and strong, cool and unruly, although it looked a little scary, but in the subsequent contact, especially in the period after the injury, Emilia really got an unexpected surprise.
Iron man is tender, undoubtedly, the contrasting and cute man is very attractive. He respects her dreams, guides her, keeps her from being afraid, and slowly throws himself into his arms.
It was also quite gentle and prepared before, so that she finally threw away all her fear and nervousness...
The rumbling thunder woke Emilia from her sweet sleep, opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at the closed curtains, but she still clearly heard the sound of the rainstorm hitting the window, and turned her head to look around, but she didn't see Arthur's figure, which made her feel a sense of loss for no reason.
With his arms propped up, his eyebrows frowned, he sat up with some difficulty, leaned on the pillow, and shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: "Arthur, are you there... β
"I'm here, don't move, I'll be right away. β
Hearing Arthur's anxious voice from the room outside, Emilia smiled shyly and sweetly on her ruddy face, and pulled the blanket to cover half of her face.
"Click-"
The door was pushed open, and under the light, Arthur's tall figure appeared at the door, and Emilia blinked a little shyly with beautiful eyes as Arthur walked in with black tea.
"How's the rest going, are you alright?" Arthur walked over to the side of the wound with a gentle face, sat down sideways, and handed the black tea to the shy Emilia.
Although he is a rotten country, it should be said that the atmosphere is very open, but for the apple that was bitten for the first time, it is not natural and calm after all, Emilia blushed lightly, took the teacup, and drank it in small sips.
Arthur kicked off his slippers, turned to lean back on the pillow, stretched his arms, let Emilia lean into his arms, stroked her hair, and kissed her hair.
After Emilia drank the black tea, she handed the teacup to Arthur, Arthur took it, turned around and reached out to put the teacup on the wound table, hugged Emilia in her arms again, and said softly: "You really gave me a huge surprise... β
Hearing this, Emilia's pretty face turned red, and she hid in Arthur's arms with a shy, stretched out her hand and slapped it lightly, and said coquettishly: "Don't make fun of me, I'm not a freak, I just don't want to be too casual... β
"God, I'm telling the truth, it's the best gift ever!"
Emilia's beautiful eyes flashed with a misty light, and she raised her head to look at Arthur, raising her eyebrows slightly, "Really? I mean you really think so?"
"I can swear to God ... β
Before Arthur's words were finished, Emilia covered her mouth with her little hand, and Emilia put her cheek in Arthur's arms, with a sweet smile on her face, and said gently: "I believe in you." Thank you, dear, for a wonderful afternoon. β
"Me too, it's wonderful, it's incomparable. Arthur praised from the bottom of his heart, undoubtedly more happy than picking up leaks, it is simply a treasure, you must know that in Europe and the United States, you are still in your 20s, what will be considered abnormal, will be considered a freak, and will definitely become the target of being teased and isolated, this is the mainstream of Europe and the United States.
Just as Arthur and Emilia are caught in the middle of it, there is a group of people discussing Arthur in the United States on the other side of the ocean.
Random House's New York headquarters.
βγγγ Didn't they reply to our messages?"
"No, and as far as I know, except for knowing that the author is British, there is no other information, and there have been many private messages from many publishers, but the other party is like he has no interest in publishing, and he completely ignores the olive branch thrown by the publisher, and still publishes two chapters on time every day. β
Hearing his subordinates' words, the CEO of Random House couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "I don't believe that there are still people in this world who will refuse dollar bills, and if the other party is not a fool, then he just wants to get greater benefits, wait for the price and sell, and wait until the novel has enough readers on the Internet and attracts widespread attention, and then he will agree to publish, so that whether it is the proportion of royalty shares or the terms of the contract, it will occupy a large enough initiative." β
The CEO's words aroused the general agreement of other people in the office, and they all nodded slightly, and one of the managers in charge of the matter frowned and said: "The novel "Fifty Shades of Gray" can be said to have mixed reputations in terms of public opinion, to be honest, the quality of this book is really not too high, it is just an ordinary clichΓ© story of a domineering president falling in love with Cinderella, except for the silly hat plot of those hormonal breakdowns. β
"But it's just so popular, readers on the Internet love this novel to death, especially those fans of "Twilight", who almost regard this novel as a classic, and to be honest, "Twilight" has become "War and Peace" in comparison. β
Not everyone is optimistic about "Gray's Fifty Shades", and some people in the conference room are very unkind to see this web article with poor writing and nonsense, and it can't win any awards at all, and they don't hide their opinions at all.
"Hehe, but millions of Internet readers love this novel to death, as long as it is published, it will inevitably be on the best-selling list, which is also an indisputable reality, a fandom, you can't expect it to be awarded, people want excitement, it does it, who will not get along with the dollar bill?
As long as we take the copyright of it and hype it, it may not be another Twilight Zone, maybe it will surpass the original book, and once it sells well, our stock will also benefit!"
"I also agree, now it has millions of readers, which has undoubtedly saved a sum of publicity costs, don't underestimate the speed of the spread of the Internet, this is a phenomenal novel, don't look at it from the perspective of traditional literature, in fact, if you can temporarily let go of the doubts in your heart, and the YW who wants to slap the heroine who is so self-loving, then you may also like this book. β
Seeing that his subordinates began to argue with different opinions, Peter Olsen, the CEO of Random House, leaned back in the boss's chair, frowned and groaned for a while, and coughed lightly twice, so that the quarrel in the conference room stopped.
"The market is everything, a world-class bestseller, I think everyone understands what it means, so, contact the author of this novel, find him as soon as possible, sign a publishing agreement with him, and consider giving him a copyright share of the senior writer!
Remember, we have to sign it before the other publishers, it's time for us to drop a boulder on the world fiction map!"
"Understood!"
The rest of the room replied in unison that now that the CEO had made a decision, their opinion no longer mattered, and they needed to do it whether they liked it or not.
