Although the UK's national power is not as strong as it once was, the media industry's every move still attracts the attention of the world.

When the Times kicked out the amount of the deal between Random House and Zhang Chu, the first round of news caused widespread controversy in the UK.

Different media outlets may have different angles of coverage, but everyone is talking about it.

And this posture is likely to intensify!

The BBC also stepped in to cover such a high-profile news, and their national and international news and radio broadcasts even invited Random House staff to conduct interviews.

In fact, this is a routine that has been prepared for a long time, and the propagandists have long predicted the reaction of the media, and it is being implemented in an orderly manner at this time.

In the BBC international channel, Kevin, a silver-haired male anchor in a suit, was connecting with a reporter in London, and this reporter actually came to the British headquarters of Random House to conduct an interview.

Kevin pressed his hand to the microphone in his ear, and he asked the staff at Random House through the monitor: "Charles, I heard that you signed a new book for £12 million, can you tell us a little bit about the book?"

Straight to the point, there was no too much greeting, which saved a lot of time and talk.

"The Da Vinci Code is an excellent work, and Zhang Chu must be one of the best, wisest, and most successful writers in the world!

Charles, who didn't care about his image, began to hype it up directly under the camera lens, and he deserved this level of praise.

"Wait, it's a high-IQ horror?" Kevin focused on it very cleverly and summed it up briefly.

"You're right, it's an erudite and suspenseful work, a combination of thrilling and intellectual puzzles, mixed with conventional elements such as murder, detective, puzzle solving, suspense, and pursuit, with a lot of art history, religious history, symbolism, etc., which are completely integrated with the thrilling story. From the beginning to the end, it's all amazing!"

Wang Po sells melons and boasts, and the British also understand this.

After hearing such comments, the audience in front of the TV suddenly became very interested in "The Da Vinci Code", and Da Vinci was like a fog.

"Is that why you wrote the £12 million cheque?" Kevin struggled to get the conversation back on track, not the time for advertising, but to talk about something the audience would love to hear.

However, the audience did not appreciate it at this moment, and they were counting on Charles to find out more about "The Da Vinci Code"!

"Oh, Kevin, you should have said less. ”

"What is the story of the Da Vinci Code, can anyone tell me?"

"Why do you want to mention £12 million?

"I can't find any news about the Da Vinci code on the Internet, it seems to have popped out of a crack in the stone!"

"Hell, I want to read this book right now!"

However, the audience's grievances will not be directly received by the anchor, and Kevin is not attracted by Charles's introduction at the moment.

Every book, every movie, and every song has not yet been officially released, and there are often a lot of good reviews, but you can only know what is in it after you actually meet consumers.

Charles also knows the truth of accepting when you see it, so Zhengse said: "We have collaborated with Zhang Chu on three books, this is an extremely talented writer, although he is Chinese, he is very familiar with English creation and European culture, and each work is translated and written by himself. After the company's assessment, we believe that the book has a good chance of selling well all over the world, so the first printing of 5 million copies, £12 million, is just a fee based on the number of first prints. This book of The Da Vinci Code is recommended for readers of the Christian faith to read selectively. ”

"Okay, we thank Charles. After Kevin got the director's notice in the headset, he turned his head to the camera, and the live interview was quickly cut off, "In any case, it's quite a great thing for a university student to get 12 million pounds in advance, and we expect this young writer to bring more excellent work." ”

……

The BBC International channel has a wide reach, and the high manuscript fee for "The Da Vinci Code" quickly spread on the Internet.

Now that it is a veritable global village, the news spreads very quickly.

Random House USA has also received a lot of inquiries, and emails from different media outlets are asking the same question, what is the book about?

Almost all of the U.S. media is reporting on the news, but they compare it to several former presidents.

Who made Obama sign a large $20 million prepaid bill two days ago, and the two things that followed can easily be put together.

A writer is often a backdrop, and you may know more about what he writes.

"Sherlock" and "Life of Pi" are both bestsellers, but there is a difference between bestsellers, and these two books are not super bestsellers.

For such a writer, he actually received such a gratifying amount of advance remuneration, many netizens thought that this was a well-designed hype, and some people felt that Random House was blind!

Especially the writers who have worked hard to write are even more inexplicable, they feel as if the whole world has changed, and this young author has actually ascended to the sky in one step.

Most writers can only get tens of thousands of dollars in advance fees, and a few can get more than 100,000 or 200,000 dollars, and millions of them are those gods who have been famous for a long time.

A $100,000 upfront fee allows a writer to work below the minimum wage for three consecutive years, which can sometimes be even more exciting!

"When I heard about the big money that had been made public, I felt like the gambling equipment was circling around me, and he should have gone to Las Vegas to gamble. ”

"Can this book be better written than J.K. Rowling and Stephen King?"

"Sixteen million dollars, this book is really profitable!"

"Random House is crazy to give so much money, I should probably contribute to Random House too. ”

"How about I officially announce that I have started writing a book, called the Van Gogh Code?"

This win-win goal was quickly achieved, not only to promote the new book, but also to make Random House a big face, so that authors who are eager to write books to make money can see new options.

Since Zhang Chu's book can get 16 million US dollars, even if his book is almost good, it should be no problem to get hundreds of thousands or millions, right?

On Twitter's global discussion trend, "The Da Vinci Code" has risen all the way and jumped to the first position!
