423 [Super Super Super ... Best-selling author]
Wow!"
"Mr. Huo is so handsome!"
"So handsome, worthy of my favorite author!"
As soon as Huo Yaowen walked out of the dark backstage and came to the bright studio, the audience of book lovers sitting in the audience let out bursts of exclamations.
The host, Keiichi Fujikawa, stepped forward quickly, bent over at a forty-five degree angle, stretched out a hand very respectfully, and said, "Mr. Huo is very happy to meet you!"
"I'm also very happy to be able to participate in your show, Mr. Teng Chuan. ”
After Teresa Teng's translation next to her, Huo Yaowen also shook hands with the other party with a smile.
"Hello Miss Deng. ”
"Hello Mr. Fujikawa. ”
The three of them said hello briefly, and Keiichi Fujikawa warmly beckoned Huo Yaowen and Teresa Teng to sit on the sofa brought up by the staff.
"Wow, all the audience friends in front of the TV set, being able to be the first host in Japan to interview Mr. Huo is the most glorious day of my life, and it is also the most brilliant moment in the six years I have hosted the TV show, I feel that I have reached the peak of my life!"
Keiichi Fujikawa said a Japanese opening sentence very exaggeratedly, Teresa Teng grabbed the key points and translated a few sentences on the side, Huo Yaowen was embarrassed for a while, it seems that Japanese talk shows are also very secondary.
"Mr. Huo. ”
Huo Yaowen, who was still smiling, suddenly heard the host shouting at him, and he also subconsciously looked at him.
"Mr. Huo, I am your most loyal reader, and I have been deeply impressed by your talent since your first book, 1999, was published in Japan. So as a book lover and host, I'm curious how you came up with those fanciful future worlds, do you really believe that there is extraterrestrial life in the universe?"
"Of course. ”
Huo Yaowen thought for a while, nodded and said: "The universe is vast, if the universe is compared to the Sahara Desert, our earth is a fine grain of sand in it, maybe our sand is more special, but no one can guarantee that there will not be sand as special as us in the desert." ”
"Since Mr. Huo, you believe in the existence of life in the universe, do you believe in UFOs?"
"I remain scientifically skeptical of UFOs, I believe that there are different life forms outside the universe, but it will be very difficult for them to come to Earth. If aliens had actually visited Earth, I don't think it would be so easy to see. ”
“......”
After asking a few questions casually, Keiichi Fujikawa led the topic to the upcoming "1999" science fiction movie in Japan, and he said: "Mr. Huo, recently Japan is about to release "1999", I heard that this movie has an investment of up to 40 million US dollars and uses the world's most modern computer special effects technology, so in this science fiction movie, will there be the alpha civilization written in your book, as well as those alien high-tech?"
"Of course, when George Lucas, the director of the original film, approached me, he said that he would try to restore the plot in the book as much as possible, but it is still very different from the movie script. Because I want to describe some details in as much detail as possible, but the movie is different, limited by time, I can only cut it, so I am the screenwriter of this movie, and I strive to be the most perfect......"
After the invisible promotion of the movie, the interview can be regarded as the official beginning, Fujikawa Keiichi picked up a piece of paper on the table and asked: "Recently, Mr. Huo, your work "Jurassic Park" is selling well in Japan, and the data obtained from Kodansha shows that "Jurassic Park" has sold 3.8 million copies. ”
"I'm thankful to the Japanese book lovers, they're so cute. ”
When Teresa Teng translated this sentence, the audience exclaimed again, and many people were very happy in their hearts, it was an honor for them to be recognized by their idols.
"Mr. Huo, are you born in 1947?"
"Yes. ”
"Then you're only this year... 27 years old?"
In order to lead to the next topic, Keiichi Fujikawa pretended to be surprised and said: "My God, at the age of 27, you are already the eighth best-selling author in the world, I can't imagine what peak you will reach in the future, Mr. Huo?"
Huo Yaowen, who had read the script, also pretended to ask: "What is the global book sales list?"
"Don't you know, Mr. Huo?"
"I don't know much, but I've been working on Harry Potter 3 lately. ”
Invisible another wave of advertising.
Keiichi Fujikawa exclaimed: "Oh, Harry Potter is coming out in the third part? Wow, it seems that the audience friends at the scene today have earned it, and you should be the first batch of people who know that Mr. Huo is working on the third part of Harry Potter." ”
When the audience heard that they were the first batch, their eyes lit up, and they felt an inexplicable honor and pride in their hearts, not knowing that this was a script that had been good before.
"Okay, back to the topic. Mr. Huo, you may be too busy with your work to read some newspapers or weekly magazines, but here is a list of the world's best-selling authors released by Finance Weekly, London, England. ”
In order to illustrate the authority of this list, Keiichi Fujikawa cited many lists that have long been famous abroad, such as the "Personal Wealth List" and "Global Top 100 Enterprises" launched by Caijing Weekly.
"Judging from the latest edition of the best-selling authors list, there are two, one is the top 100 best-selling authors of all time in the world, and the other is the list of contemporary best-selling authors. The difference is that the previous list includes those well-known writers from ancient times to the present, of course, because many writers are too old, it is difficult to verify the sales, so the person who compiled this list said very clearly, this can only be used as a reference!"
"As for the list of contemporary bestsellers, it is a list of all the world's best-known authors since the twentieth century. ”
The first place went to British female writer Agatha Christie, with 66 detectives and 14 short stories about investigation and suspense, with a total of 630 million copies sold worldwide, becoming the first seller of contemporary global authors. There may be many people who don't know her very well, but when it comes to "Murder on the Orient Express", I think everyone should be familiar with it!"
"It's her! "Orient Express" is my favorite detective!"
"630 million copies, that's terrifying!"
"I don't know if Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, is on the list!"
"Didn't the host just say, contemporary, contemporary! Conan Doyle is a man of the last century. ”
"Didn't he? I think he lived until the thirties of the twentieth century before he died. ”
"Hehe, then I don't know. ”
“......”
The whispers of the audience did not disturb Keiichi Fujikawa on the stage, and after he successively said the names of the first seven people and the global sales, he continued: "The eighth place in the global author sales list is our Mr. Huo, according to the weekly description, since Mr. Huo's first science fiction work "1999" was published in the United States in 1968, a total of 15 works have been created and published so far......"
They are "1999 Trilogy", "Ghost Blowing Lantern Trilogy", "Harry Potter 1 and 2", "Sweet Honey", "A Cloud Made of ......Rain in the Wind", "Game of Thrones" and the latest sci-fi work "Jurassic Park". ”
Among them, the total sales of "1999 Trilogy" are 36.5 million copies worldwide, and the sales of "Harry Potter 1 and 2" are 28.75 million copies...... Fifteen works have sold a total of 167 million copies!"
167 million, this number may sound a lot lower than the top seven, but you must understand that the youngest of the first seven people is also in their sixties, and Huo Yaowen is only 27 years old, which is the peak period of the writer's life. The most important point, like the first place Agatha Christie, in addition to the huge number of works, she also has a lot more book reprints than Huo Yaowen, so it is certain that this total sales will definitely not be his limit.
"Oh my God!167 million copies!"
"This ......"
"Si Guoyi! deserves to be my idol!"
Compared with listening to the host's introduction of the sales data of the first seven people, everyone in the audience was even more shocked by Huo Yaowen's data in front of them, after all, many of those writers and the audience had never heard of it. But Huo Yaowen is right in front of him, a living example, he is still so young and handsome, which has attracted everyone to exclaim.
As a translator, Teresa Teng was also taken aback by Huo Yaowen's sales data, what kind of data is 167 million copies, even if she has not been in contact with this industry, she also knows that in Hong Kong and Taiwan, anyone who sells more than 100,000 copies is a bestseller, and 300,000 copies is considered a bestseller.
This 167 million is super super super super ...... Best-selling author?
