The day after the banquet, the University of Hong Kong officially opened, Anna also moved back to the school, and the younger sister also went to school, while Fok Yiu-man went back and forth between his home and the North Kowloon Magistrates' Court every day, serving as a jury for a whole week, and finally ended his duties as the first JP (Justice of the Peace).

At this time, Hong Kong's coverage of Huo Yaowen has also decreased a lot because of time, which makes him breathe a sigh of relief, after all, he is brainlessly touted by the newspaper every day as a young leader, the youngest Justice of the Peace, which makes him happy and headache at the same time.

However, what I never expected happened, "1999" in Japan sold for more than half a month, and officially broke through the amazing sales of 4 million copies, breaking the top of the sales list of the Japanese book market in one fell swoop, and becoming the best-selling book in Japan.

You must know that 4 million copies is not a small number, if it were not for the improvement of Japan's economy in recent years, the development of light and heavy industries has become more and more rapid, people have more or less money, and the popularity rate of education in Japan is now quite high, otherwise no matter how good the publicity and promotion are, there may not be such a high sales.

The news of the big sale in Japan soon spread to Hong Kong, causing Fok Yaowen to become famous again, this time not only the media in Hong Kong came to try to interview Fok Yaowen, but many Japanese newspapers also sent many reporters to Hong Kong.

In the February 19 issue of Taiwan's "United Daily News," Huo Yaowen was praised as the light of the Chinese people, saying that he was one of the few well-known Chinese writers in the international field. If there is only this, it is nothing, but the thing that worries Huo Yaowen the most is that "United Daily News" hopes that the party-state can award Huo Yaowen some honorary badges, saying that Huo Yaowen has a huge influence overseas and is to win glory for the country.

(At that time, it was especially popular to give out medals, especially to Chinese who had made contributions.) ）

...

Kyushu Magazine.

"Haha, Arwen, your current fame in Taiwan is amazing! Chinese Light, the most influential Chinese writer in the world!"

As soon as Gu Long and Wo Longsheng entered the conference room, they sat next to Huo Yaowen and said in a joking tone: "I have ten newspapers in Taiwan, and nine of them are reports that your book has sold four million copies in Japan!!"

Looking at Gu Long's hippie smiling face, Huo Yaowen said with a wry smile: "Don't talk about Brother Xiong, I'm annoyed by those reporters now, and I hang around my door every day." ”

Not long after the trend of being appointed as a Justice of the Peace passed, it finally eased up a little, and the news that "1999" was a big hit in Japan came again, causing Huo Yaowen to dare not go out now, and I don't know where these reporters know about his current home, many people are out every day, if it weren't for the fact that Kowloon Tong is a private house, and Huo Yaowen's identity as JP, I'm afraid these reporters would want to come over the wall and take pictures secretly.

"Okay, okay, what's upset about this? I still envy you! In the past three days, you can be in the newspaper news at both ends. Gu Long saw that Huo Yaowen was cheap and behaved, and he was a little depressed, you must know that this is not a scandal, but a good opportunity to expand his fame and popularity, how to do it as if he made a mistake.

"Yes, this is indeed a good thing, but you don't know, there are too many reporters, I came out this time, I don't know how many people blocked my door. Huo Yaowen was a little helpless, to be honest, if he didn't have the identity of JP, these reporters would not have been so honored to let him out.

You must know that Hong Kong reporters have always been very powerful, although they are not as paparazzi as later generations, but there are many small newspapers that behave similarly.

Gu Long waved his hand, didn't talk much about this matter, but asked seriously: "Okay, okay, you can honestly tell me now, did your copy of "1999" sell four million copies!!"

Wo Longsheng, who has not spoken next to him, is also full of curiosity, since he attended Huo Yaowen's banquet and returned to Taiwan a few days ago, Taiwanese newspapers began to report that Huo Yaowen's "1999" sold four million copies in Japan, becoming the highest book sales in Japan, which surprised both Wo Longsheng and Gu Long.

Huo Yaowen thought for a while, nodded and said: "It should be about the same, a few years ago, Japan's Kodansha came to me for a second cooperation, and at that time it said that it had sold more than three million copies, and now it should be four million copies." ”

Gu Long said with a smile: "Arwen, I have also read your book, anyway, I don't like it, I don't understand how little devils and Yankees like to read this kind of science fiction book you write so much, I like Ni Frame." ”

Huo Yaowen smiled: "You are envious!"

"That's right, I really envy you!"

Gu Long spoke very straightforwardly, and the best book he has sold so far is "Chu Liuxiang", "Peerless Double Pride" and "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", these three books have only sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Taiwan and Hong Kong for so many years, which is completely incomparable with Huo Yaowen. (Chu Liuxiang has many parts)

Seeing that Gu Long replied with such envy, Huo Yaowen smiled, glanced at Wo Longsheng, who was also very envious, and said: "Actually, my book was aimed at the American market from the beginning, Japan has been influenced by all aspects of the United States over the years, and in science fiction books, the tastes of these two places are similar. ”

Hearing this, Gu Long nodded and said, "That's the same." ”

After speaking, Gu Long said again: "Okay, let's not talk about this, hurry up and take out the outline, and call Chen Fan and them over, let's start writing separately!"

The plot of the first part of "Kyushu" "The Battle of Kyushu" has been written, and this time Gu Long and Wo Longsheng came from Taiwan specifically for this.

"Okay, you can wait a minute. ”

Huo Yaowen turned around and pushed the door to find Chen Fan and the others.

As soon as I went out, I saw a clerk running over, "Chairman, Editor-in-Chief Yao is calling." ”

Huo Yaowen frowned: "Editor-in-Chief Yao's phone number?"

The clerk nodded: "Yes." ”

"I know, you go and call Mr. Chen and Mr. Zhang to the conference room. ”

Huo Yaowen walked to the phone, picked up the phone and said, "Hey, what is the matter with Editor-in-Chief Yao looking for me?"

Yao Wenjie said on the other end of the phone: "Chairman, the company just received a letter from the United States. ”

"Who is the letter from the United States?" Huo Yaowen was puzzled, secretly thinking that it might be from the Bantan Book Company.

Yao Wenjie picked up the envelope in his hand and looked at it, and said, "It's a guy named Bruce Lee." ”

Bruce lee?

Why did he write to himself?

Huo Yaowen was surprised at the same time, and suddenly remembered that when Bruce Lee returned to Hong Kong last year, he invited himself to participate in the mixed martial arts competition held in the United States in March this year!
