Chapter 373: Bottoming Out
As soon as he saw Sister Hu, Chen Jiaqing showed a smiling face, "Thank you, Sister Hu, I was able to be on this show this time, thanks to you operating in the middle." ”
Sister Hu waved her hand, "No thanks, no thanks, I am your agent, these are all things I should do, speaking of which, it is also your own struggle, otherwise I will not spend my energy on you." ”
"Without Sister Hu, it would be in vain for Jiaqing to fight again. Is there something wrong with Sister Hu coming here?"
"There's nothing to do, just come and talk to you. Sister Hu said with a smile, and then changed her words, "If you want to talk about things, there is indeed such a thing, you just released an EP, but the response to several other songs is average, only the song "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" is better." Although this song can still be eaten for a while, we can't just eat the old book, can we?"
After speaking, she looked at Chen Jiaqing with a smile, and Chen Jiaqing also knew what she meant.
Sister Hu has come to her several times in this matter, in fact, she just wants to ask her to find the author of "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" to write a song for her.
"Sister Hu, I can't do anything about this, I don't know that person well, it's also a coincidence, he wrote such a song, it happened that I was singing in a bar at the time, he sang it to me, and I looked for him once when I was authorized, and then there was no news of him. Chen Jiaqing said.
She said this many times, Sister Hu looked at her eyes for a while, and finally sighed, "This is luck, but then again, there is a more popular writer named Zhuang Yan recently, which is a coincidence." ”
Regarding the copyright issue of "On the Shore of Lake Baikal", the company only knows that it was written by a man named Zhuang Yan, and now the music copyright query can only find one name.
The company had thought about buying the copyright before, but the matter was put on hold, because the matter was halfway through, and the copyright owner could not be found.
On this matter, Sister Hu was also worried, there was no copyright, no authorization, so she would release the film like this, what if there was a problem at that time, but Chen Jiaqing said very firmly that there was no problem at that time, and she also took responsibility for it in the contract.
It is also because of this that Sister Hu suspects that Chen Jiaqing should have a lot to do with this Zhuang Yan, otherwise it would be impossible to be so sure, but after asking many times, Chen Jiaqing just didn't let go.
A new star emerged in the literary world last year, originally they didn't pay much attention to the things in the literary circle in the entertainment industry, but they couldn't stand this Zhuang Yan is too popular, even if they haven't read the book, they know this name.
When she first heard this name, Sister Hu also doubted whether the two Zhuang Yan were the same person, but Chen Jiaqing insisted that it was not, saying that the Zhuang Yan who wrote "On the Shore of Lake Baikal" was actually a middle-aged man.
So Sister Hu didn't take it seriously, after all, Zhuang Yan is famous in the literary world at such a young age, it is impossible for him to have such attainments in music. And after checking the information, he didn't have any musical background.
When she mentioned Zhuang Yan again at this time, she didn't mean to be tempted, but really felt it.
Chen Jiaqing's eyes flickered imperceptibly, she didn't tell the truth to the company about Zhuang Yan.
She can be said to be the one who knows Zhuang Yan's identity best, even Wang Lijian and Yu Hai, they don't know that Zhuang Yan wrote a song in addition to writing fairy tales.
Only she understands Zhuang Yan's three identities. However, she promised Zhuang Yan to help him hide these things.
"It's a pity, if you find this Zhuang Yan and write you another high-quality song, it will be very good for you. Sister Hu sighed, stood up and prepared to leave, "Okay, I still have some things, you can rest well." ”
"Well, Sister Hu walks slowly. ”
As soon as Sister Hu got up, Chen Jiaqing's assistant Xiao He came back with the "Sophie's World" she had just bought, and happened to meet Sister Hu.
Seeing the book in Xiao He's hand, Sister Hu asked curiously, "Xiao He, what book did you buy here?"
Xiao He was about to speak, but Chen Jiaqing hurriedly came over to take the book, and said with a smile, "I saw it on the Internet before, and I was a little curious, so I asked Xiao He to buy it for me, thinking about passing the time when I was fine." ”
Sister Hu pretended to smile inadvertently, "Oh, it's good to read books, you can cultivate your sentiments, and if you are an artist, it's also a good thing to have a little culture, you see your Sister Yin, it's just a loss of culture, I told her to read more if she has nothing to do, but she still doesn't listen, if artists are like you, how much worry should I have saved." ”
Chen Jiaqing and Xiao He didn't dare to talk to her when they heard her complain, Sister Yin in her mouth is the number one star in the company, commonly known as the pillar, Sister Yin has a very bad temper, so Sister Hu can say this about her.
"Let's go. ”
Sister Hu walked out of Chen Jiaqing's lounge, her eyes narrowed, of course she noticed Chen Jiaqing's strange appearance, it was just a book, is it necessary to be so nervous? She didn't say anything in front of her just now, but after glancing at it, she secretly wrote down the title of the book.
Back in her office, Sister Hu searched for "Sophie's World" on the Internet, wanting to see what kind of book it was, which made Chen Jiaqing so nervous and didn't want to let herself see it.
When the searched information came out, she was surprised to find that this book turned out to be Zhuang Yan's new book, which was Zhuang Yan she had just mentioned.
Without much thought, she connected all the information together. If she believed that there was such a coincidence of the same name in this world before, but Chen Jiaqing's reaction just now couldn't help but make her think about it too much.
"These two Zhuang Yan are the same person!"
She came to such a conclusion, but Sister Hu didn't immediately run to Chen Jiaqing to question her, because she bought a book and it didn't prove anything, she could still deny it.
If you want to threaten her, it seems too inferior.
Sister Hu thought of something again, what Chen Jiaqing's personality looks like, she knows better than anyone else, it is said that she should not be so nervous just now, after all, it is just a book, it can't explain too many problems, she was so nervous just now, but she showed her feet, which made people suspicious.
Is there anything special about the book?
With this in mind, she watched the news about "Sophie's World" on the Internet again, and finally found the key information for her.
She saw the book review and saw Chen Ying.
All of a sudden, everything made sense, it seems that Chen Jiaqing not only has a daughter, this Zhuang Yan is likely to be his underground lover, I didn't expect her to hide so deeply.
However, Sister Hu has always been cautious, and he did not immediately confront Chen Jiaqing face to face. Instead, he dialed the phone number of Chen Jiaqing's nanny, and learned that Xiaoying had finished school, so he asked the nanny to open a video.
Xiao Ying appeared timidly on the screen, and Sister Hu showed a gentle smile, "Xiao Ying, remember Aunt Hu, I am your mother's colleague." ”
"Remember, Aunt Hu is good. Xiao Ying obediently said hello.
Sister Hu smiled, "Xiaoying, do you know where Uncle Zhuang Yan is? ”、
The child has no heart, although she has some doubts, but she really thinks that Aunt Hu is looking for Zhuang Yan to have something, the little guy said with a lonely look in his eyes, "I don't know, I haven't seen Uncle Zhuang Yan for a long time." My mom said he was out of the country. ”
Sister Hu was overjoyed, it seemed that this was true, she smiled and said, "Okay, I know, thank you Xiaoying." ”
"No thanks, Aunt Hu, can my mother video me tonight?"
"I don't know, I'll ask her for you. ”
"Well, thank you Aunt Hu. ”
After hanging up the video, a smile appeared on the corner of Sister Hu's mouth.
……
The sales of "Sophie's World" on the second and third days were not very satisfactory, and the two days combined were less than 200,000, compared with the 700,000 sales on the first day, it can be described as a cliff-like decline.
But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable, after all, in general, new book releases, especially those of well-known authors, will have an outbreak on the first day, and then there will be weekdays, so there are fewer people who go to bookstores to buy books.
The most important thing is that the sales on Monday were 80,000, and the sales on Tuesday were 120,000, and they began to rise.
Although there is only an increase of 40,000, it strongly illustrates a problem, that is, "Sophie's World" has a good reputation, otherwise it would not have been possible to have such a recovery.
If this situation continues, word of mouth will continue to ferment, and maybe sales will continue to increase in the next two days.
Zhuang Yan and Wang Lijian's celebration banquet was held on Tuesday night, and there were not many people called, just a few of them. said that it was a celebration banquet, but in fact, it was just a matter of finding a reason to gather a wave.
This time it was Wang Lijian who took the lead, and he also invited this meal.
The drop in sales didn't seem to affect their mood at all, they are all professionals, so they can naturally see the middle way, but they are more confident than after the first day.
Things turned out to be as they expected, a few days after the celebration banquet, until the weekend before the signing session, sales began to rebound in a straight line, rising by tens of thousands every day, until Saturday, sales exploded directly, and the sales volume on the day was close to 600,000, almost breaking the first day of sales of the book.
Compared with the sales of 700,000 on the first day, a week later, there was another day of sales close to 600,000, which is even more explosive news, because this news shows that the reputation of the book has exploded.
Yu Hai They have been publishing for so long, and they haven't heard of a book that can still have 600,000 sales after a week of normal release, even if Jiangnan Yanyu's "Hades Ruler" sold 1.3 million on the first day, but it was also because of the proper operation in the early stage, Jiangnan Yanyu went to fifteen provinces in a row to promote the book before it was released, and it even ran four cities in a row to sign for sale in one day in the year of release, and the sales volume broke out on the day of sale, and the back continued to decline.
Therefore, when Wang Lijian and the others saw this achievement, they couldn't believe it, and if this trend continued, "Sophie's World" might soon surpass Zhuang Yan's other books and become his best-selling book.
After all, it has only been a week, and the sales of the Chinese version of "Sophie's World" have already reached more than two million. Take a hundred times to read the latest chapters of "Wonderful Claw Book House in the Literary and Art World" for free for the first time.
