There are a lot of things you need to bring when you go to Europe for a week, and you can put any portable raincoats and adapter plugs in the box.

Others travel to Europe and come across those artistic buildings or works of art and then come back to write a masterpiece.

But Zhang Chu seems to be a little reversed, he only had time to read it after writing out "The Da Vinci Code"!

Only this time he doesn't plan to take the inner route, but is ready to play as he pleases, just need to get to Frankfurt on October 6.

Language is not too difficult for him, but unfortunately now the system lottery is becoming more and more difficult, otherwise he can draw what French, Italian, Spanish proficient, so it is more convenient to travel.

This week's class is over, but it's a little annoying that some poor guys have to continue their classes on Tuesday night.

Zhang Chu's roommates made an appointment to go to the distant Sailim Lake to play, because they felt that the "last tear of the Atlantic" far away from the westernmost part of the motherland would definitely be less tourist!

At this moment, he suddenly felt that it was a good thing to bring matcha to travel, and when the time came, he would take a few photos of matcha at various scenic spots, and maybe he could make this guy an Internet celebrity.

It's been a few days since I've petted a cat, and now Zhang Chu is inexplicably starting to miss it.

Originally, Zhang Chu only planned to go out with a bag, but after packing up a little, he packed a small box, and when the time came, he could store his luggage at the hotel front desk, which would be a little easier!

After preparing the passport, Zhang Chu checked the computer in the study again to see if the follow-up chapters about "Those Things About the Rabbit That Year" were sent to the smart comics.

After returning from class yesterday, he drew the next three chapters of this comic and handed it over to Smart Comics as soon as possible, which could be used to print the October issue.

……

At Random House's U.S. branch, Blair was discussing with the team with a plan he had printed.

They work alone when it comes to choosing a topic, but once they decide which book to sign on, they have to work together as a team to build it.

Every editor wants to push their work into the company's staple, so the competition is fierce!

The first few times Blair was in the stage of retreating, one because of his new background, and the other because he did not have high-quality books in his hands.

At present, Zhang Chu's "Da Vinci Code" is the best weapon, don't make it difficult at this time, when are you waiting?

Wearing glasses and a little obese, Devoni was the first to speak: "Ms. Catherine has 200,000 followers on ins, and the number of likes on each picture can be as high as tens of thousands. Just look at the popular Beverly wife and you know that American audiences love to peek into the lives of the rich, and I suggest that this book be featured in the next few months. ”

"I don't agree with that. Catherine's previous two books this year were dismal, and she is no longer the popular author who can attract readers to buy books!" Alice has always been-for-tat with Devoni, and she was the first to jump out against it.

Another black editor, Richardson, didn't want to get involved in the two women's fight, and he digressed: "Guys, what do you think of the book 'The Christmas Sweater?' Green Baker's horror, there's Halloween in a month, and readers need it." ”

The editors were so arguing that none of them would let go.

Vice President Daniel Nesbo, who sat at the front of the room, had seen so many similar scenes that there was no reaction at all.

Blair cleared his throat and said, "I just received a new book from Chinese writer Zhang Chu a few days ago, "The Da Vinci Code", which is really good. This is what I have come up with that can be used as a selling point or a promotional point. ”

"Blair, are you crazy? Chinese books can't be sold in the United States, this is not you Britain!" Devoni raised her voice, offending both the Chinese and the British at the same time.

Lao Mei is like this, looking down on the rest of the place!

Richardson agreed: "I've never heard of this work, and resources shouldn't be wasted on this kind of writer." ”

Blair, however, was prepared, holding up the two books in front of him and saying, "He is by no means a man of no name. As someone from the same company, if you don't know his work, then your work is very unprofessional, and I seriously doubt your professionalism!"

The English versions of "Sherlock" and "Life of Pi" are two well-known books, and have been on the New York Times bestseller list several times this year.

And one has been made into a British drama, which not only exploded in the global ratings, but also won many awards at last month's Emmy Awards.

At the same time, the other one is also favored by Hollywood, and the movie is being filmed.

Devoni and Richardson didn't expect to be caught with a loophole in their language as soon as they said it casually.

After the two of them saw the cover, of course, they knew what this writer was capable of!

Vice President Daniel said at this time: "I read the manuscript from Blair a few days ago, this "Da Vinci Code" is very good, you should all go and see it." ”

Blair was very well prepared, and he had already communicated with his boss about this kind of big thing, and even the North American branch had negotiated with the head office.

Otherwise, how could it hold a book launch in the name of Random House?

These colleagues were very depressed, but they didn't expect Blair to hold back a big move, and this time he was directly killed!

"What's the opinion from headquarters?" asked Devoni curiously.

For writers, the prepaid manuscript fee is a threshold, and the more famous the work and the better the sales forecast, the higher the proportion of the prepaid manuscript fee.

Not only Richardson, but also Blair himself pricked up his ears to listen.

Daniel looked around and threw a bombshell: "According to the evaluation and estimation of the British headquarters, they think that "The Da Vinci Code" has a good chance of winning the global annual sales champion, the story is very exciting, and it has its own controversy. Guess what the upfront fee is in London. ”

"$2 million?" Defuni muttered, "Are they really that optimistic about The Da Vinci Code?"

"The world's annual book sales champion, this should have to sell tens of millions of copies to achieve, this guy is really scary. ”

"Since the expected sales are so high, I guess $5 million!"

"No, no, no, you're all wrong. The headquarters gave Zhang Chu an advance payment of 12 million pounds!"

As soon as Daniel's words fell, the expressions of all the editors were synchronized, and one by one their mouths grew up, and they couldn't believe it!
