128 This is a war
"The eyes of netizens are bright. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
When netizens saw what Li Daniu said, they instantly gave Li Daniu countless likes for this news.
Speaking of which, although Li Daniu took the lead in the matter of discrimination against immigrants, the reason why so many people were able to join the discussion was of course not entirely because of the reason why Chinese netizens came over the wall to add fuel to the fire.
This has a profound relationship with the historical problems of the United States, in the United States, there has always been a group of people who hold the supremacy of white people, and have a discriminatory mentality against blacks and yellow people, and there have been many incidents of discrimination.
And most of these discriminated people are immigrants or descendants of immigrants, who have the so-called American dream, come to the United States to work hard, but do not get the respect they deserve, and will naturally be dissatisfied.
Through the words of Li Daniu, a celebrity, some discriminatory incidents published by these dissatisfied people have made the influence of the whole thing continue to spread. Coupled with the attacks on the Internet by those Americans who themselves have a discriminatory mentality, this matter has become the focus of the whole United States.
In fact, there are many media or public figures who think that Li Daniu's attack on Hollywood Daily is a big fuss.
After all, what people say is: taking a Chinese name will have an impact on the sales of his works in the United States.
The sentence itself can be interpreted in a variety of ways, especially for people who can refer to black and white, and it can be explained in various ways that the sentence itself does not discriminate.
For example, speaking a Chinese name will make American readers or moviegoers not know that it is the work of Li Daniu.
The support for this argument is not low on the Internet, and there is no shortage of people on the Internet who always have different opinions.
And when Li Daniu said that the eyes of netizens are bright, this group of sycophants makes most people have a good impression of Li Daniu.
Who doesn't like to be slapped on their ass?
For Hollywood Daily, Li Daniu's latest news, they only pay attention to one point, that is, Li Daniu said that his new novel will meet readers who like it.
Could there be a more appropriate topic to divert from?
So, the Hollywood Daily published a news and named Li Daniu.
"As you said, the eyes of netizens are bright. Then the reader's eyes are also bright. Almost all loyal fans of "The Lord of the Rings" are disappointed with the worldview and stingy plot of "Harry Potter", so how many doomed novels can there be even if they meet readers who like it? It is said that the number of first printing of this book in the United States is 500,000 copies, can it be sold out in a year? Or is it just because you said that you wanted fans to guess the sales, but you found that you couldn't afford to pay the reward, so you deliberately made a bad book for everyone to guess wrong?"
If Sister Rowling heard you say this about her novel, would she throw her worth of more than a billion dollars in your face?
Can 500,000 copies be sold out in a year?
When people's sales are hot, is it okay to sell more than this number in a day in the world?
Although Li Daniu knew that the reputation of his book was not very good in the early days of the world's listing, this reason can be easily analyzed.
The opening of the book is indeed too small for fans who love The Lord of the Rings. Even the plot doesn't have much intention, an orphan who was discriminated against, received an admission letter from a magic school, and when he went to school, he discovered his incredible life experience, as well as constant upgrades, and finally defeated the villain boss, this routine is actually not new.
Therefore, for adults who like atmospheric novels like "The Lord of the Rings", there really won't be much affection.
Just like in previous lives, no matter how many adults like to read this book, they are loyal fans of this book, but the readership of this book in the real sense is people aged 6-15.
In Li Daniu's view, the main reason why the book did not sell well for a few weeks on the shelves was because his fame was too great.
Yes, the fame gained from the book "The Lord of the Rings" is just too great.
Therefore, many of his fans are looking forward to his new book, which is like an epic novel.
Under this expectation, seeing a novel with a pattern like "Harry Potter" will naturally not have any praise.
It's like a seed that has been planted for a few days and nights, and after it is opened, it turns out to be a gourd baby, is the gourd baby beautiful? For children, and even for many adults, it is very interesting to watch.
But for someone who has already taken off his pants and picked up a tissue paper, are you kidding me?
Naturally, it was all disappointing reviews that discouraged many people who wanted to buy the book.
However, classics are classics, Li Daniu is different from Hollywood Daily, which only focuses on big data, he has discovered the charm of this book from the feedback of some readers on the Internet, which has been discovered and is about to spread.
With this kind of spark, are you afraid that you won't be able to start a prairie fire?
"If those 500,000 copies don't sell out this month, then I'll never write any more books from now on. If this month's sales exceed 500,000 copies, what are you or you going to do? As for not being able to pay the reward, I really want to say that even if the one with the most guesses becomes the final answer, then I can afford to pay it, and I only need the profit of one movie. ”
Not long after Li Daniu's news was released, the Hollywood Daily reposted the news and commented.
"As long as you don't spend your own money to find someone to buy it, then all of us at Hollywood Daily will go to the Hollywood Walk of Fame naked. ”
The reason why the Hollywood Daily dared to make such a big bet is that the novel has been on the shelves for three weeks so far, with only 150,000 copies sold, and only 20,000 copies sold last week. It is simply impossible to sell 350,000 copies in the remaining week or so.
Moreover, in their opinion, Li Daniu is a foreigner after all, and no matter how much the American people dislike them, it is impossible to help Li Daniu deal with them.
Just like in the previous life, when Da Yao first arrived in the NBA, some people threatened that he would not be able to score 19 points, and if he did, he would kiss the donkey's butt. Even though there are many people in the NBA who don't like this threat, and even many people expect him to kiss the ass of a donkey, no one releases water for Da Yao to score points.
With 350,000 copies sold a week, it was possible for "The Lord of the Rings" to be at its hottest. As for "Harry Potter", a novel that is more complex than a fairy tale and much simpler than an adult book, how can it be possible?
Besides, even if it is really sold, they will definitely deny it, saying that Li Daniu spent money to find someone to buy it, as for the evidence? Do you have evidence to prove that Li Daniu did not spend money to let people buy books?
Media people have always been very neat.
As soon as Li Daniu saw that the other party took the offer, he immediately responded to the battle, even if he failed, he would not write a book in the future at most, those works from his previous life, as long as he found a suitable agent, he could still push them out, and he just needed to make money.
Besides, is it possible for Li Daniu to fail? Thinking about the discussion of this novel in some middle school forums, Li Daniu believes that as long as he contributes to the troubles, the remaining 350,000 copies are absolutely not to worry about.
Some people simply don't understand where the book is really located, and of course, for adults, the opinions of middle school students can basically be ignored, even in the United States, which claims to make children independent.
With the Hollywood Daily Newspaper's apology for his previous remarks and the establishment of this gambling contract, most of the netizens' attention has been shifted here, after all, no one likes arguments that can't be refuted at all, coupled with the deliberate guidance of some unknown forces, such as the manipulation of public opinion by the US government, the impact of this sudden immigration discrimination has changed from big to small.
However, this incident is not without benefits, at least for a period of time in the future, Americans will not dare to blatantly discriminate against incidents.
At the request of Li Daniu, the Hollywood Daily directly released a news report, reporting the current personnel of their company, the signing confirmation of the gambling contract, and even the signature of the owner of the Hollywood Daily.
For the owner of the Hollywood Daily, as long as the most adverse impact of this incident can be eliminated, even if he does not lose the bet, he is willing to let him run naked, and for shameless people who make money from gossip news out of nothing, money is the most important thing.
When Li Daniu and Louis of Sunshine Publishing House discussed plans to increase sales, China on the other side of the ocean set off a wave of going abroad and purchasing agents. Unlike before, when everyone liked to ask for cosmetics, luxury goods or digital products, this time, they wanted to get a novel called "Harry Potter".
The person who purchased the novel asked if the English version of the novel could be understood?
Damn, who wants to read a book, is it okay for Lao Tzu to support his international friend Li Daniu? Even if the Huaxia currency is exchanged for less than the US dollar, how much can a book be worth?
If Li Daniu loses, then which foreigner celebrity is willing to take a Chinese name in the future? How can Chinese go to the world?
The effect of the celebrity effect is much better than that of Confucius Institutes that are losing money everywhere.
So, it's a war! )
