Today is November 15th, the release date of the new book "Jurassic Park". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thanks to the early publicity, the book was on the New York Times' list of the most anticipated new books of the year in just a few months, so when the day came, not only New York, where bantams live, but also Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles welcomed the first new books.

As a native of New York, Harry naturally came to the bookstore in Manhattan, and as a science fiction fan, he has been looking forward to this book for a long time. Therefore, at eight o'clock in the morning, he would rather squeeze the rush hour with other office workers than be the first to buy books.

There was a long queue in front of the Bronde bookstore in the early morning, and when Harry arrived, he found that it was half an hour before the bookstore opened, but the line had already stretched to the end of the street! God knows, this is not a Black Friday Christmas rush frenzy, just a new science fiction book release, this kind of pomp and circumstance has made other writers jealous!

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time!"

In the queue, Harry said to a middle-aged man with a beard next to him, "I have loved dinosaurs since I was a child, and when I was a child, I used to go to museums to see fossils, and there was even a model of a tyrannosaurus rex at home!"

The middle-aged man wore a T-shirt with the national flag on it, nodded and said, "I also like dinosaurs very much, and when this bookstore first advertised it, I asked for a trifold." It's a rare idea to create a living dinosaur with cloning technology and then build a theme park. ”

"And the point is, this book is clearly written as a sci-fi thriller!"

At this time, an old man in front of the team smiled and said: "So, something must happen to this theme park, otherwise there is nothing to be afraid of, right?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "So the point of the problem is what happened." Could it be that while the tourists are playing, the carnivorous dragons riot en masse?"

Harry frowned, "Isn't that too cruel? After all, most of the people who go to the theme park are children, and if the author really writes that many children are eaten by dinosaurs, the impact will be too bad." ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled: "You are wrong, if there is really such a dinosaur theme park in the world, not only children, who is not allowed to come and see it?" So even if you want to die, the author must give priority to those adults, so you can rest assured." ”

That said, but Harry was a little speechless, why did this middle-aged man like this kind of plot so much, and why was it so familiar when a monster attacked when many tourists were having fun together?"

After a few words of gossip, the bookstore finally opened, and Harry didn't think much about it, and walked in with the big team, and soon picked up the freshly baked "Jurassic Park" in his arms.

"Oh God, what a beautiful package, I can't help but want to see it!"

In the corner of the bookstore, a young man's exclamation caught Harry's attention, and seeing that the other party must be one of the same kind, he stepped forward and said, "Harry Puness, a junior at New York University. ”

"Jeff Bezos, I went to school at Princeton. ”

Bezos also saw that Harry was a book lover, and said enthusiastically: "I paid attention to this book when it was first advertised, and now I finally got it, I'm so happy!"

"yes, yes, so am I, and I'm an authentic dinosaur fan. I've made a model, Dinosaur Universe Explorer Anil!"

"Fortunately, Harry, by the way, do you know the author of this book? Everyone knows that this Alice Wang is a rookie writer, so they don't know much about her life, and Bantam hasn't even revealed how old she is. ”

Harry looked around, and there were customers buying books everywhere, but there was no usual routine for book launches: "Yes, the newspaper didn't say that the author was going to hold a book launch, could she be sick? ”

"Maybe she's not interested in this kind of thing. ”

A tall figure approached them, with a full chin and a t-shirt emblazoned with the national flag, and the middle-aged man held the book he had just bought and said, "If the author is a rich lady or a daughter, it doesn't matter if you don't participate in this kind of activity, because for them, writing books may just be a hobby." ”

This was the second time Harry had met this man in just half an hour, and thinking of the other party's previous imagination of the plot, his heart moved, and he asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Steven Spielberg. ”

The other party smiled and shrugged: "Maybe you've heard my name?"

Harry gasped first, Steven Spielberg, such a famous name, of course he had heard of it a long time ago!

"Oh my God, Mr. Spielberg, forgive me for not recognizing you right away, it's you!"

He said excitedly: "Jaws", "Contact of the Third Kind", "E-T", especially "Raiders of the Lost Ark", I have seen almost all of your movies, I am your loyal fan!"

Compared to Harry's excitement, Spielberg was very calm, just shook hands with him amicably, after all, for him, meeting fans is just a normal thing.

At this moment, Bezos, who was standing on the side, spoke: "Mr. Spielberg, I want to ask, is it possible for a novel like Jurassic Park to be adapted into a movie?"

Spielberg hesitated for a moment and said: "The difficulty is mainly in the production of dinosaurs, "King Kong" in the thirties used simple model machinery, and "Alien" in previous years was played by people, and they are definitely not suitable for this movie. So, if any company has a film plan, it has to solve this problem. ”

In other words, it depends on the development of technology in related fields. ”

Bezos was a little disappointed, and he was eager for the work to be made into a movie as early as the book was promoted. But listening to the analysis of this famous director, I am afraid it will not be possible in recent years.

Harry didn't have that many ideas, and no one stipulated that a book would be adapted into a movie as soon as it came out. Didn't you read the first book of his beloved "Galactic Empire" series in the fifties, but he still has no shooting plan at all? Like "The Lord of the Rings", how can the current technology show the greatness of Middle-earth?

In this way, he took his beloved book in his hand and went home happily.

From early morning to late at night, the four major cities across the country sold simultaneously, New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles are all large cities in the country, and "Jurassic Park" easily exceeded 50,000 copies on the first day. The sales figures for each bookstore were quickly released and sent to the editorial office of Bantam Books.

The office is brightly lit late at night, and the editors who care about everything are overjoyed.

"Very good, this result is really very good, and it is in vain that we put so much effort into publicizing it. In four cities, the sales volume reached 50,000 on the first day, and it is not a problem to exceed 300,000 in the next month, or even 400,000!"

In the conference room, the editor-in-chief Domingo said happily: "Hurry up and notify the printing house to increase the printing volume, and then contact the cooperative bookstores in more cities, and the accounting department will quickly count the sales on the first day." Brown, please contact Miss Alice and let us know the good news!"

Recently, Brown has been in good spirits for happy events, holding his head high and his spirit high wherever he goes. Since "Jurassic Park" was on the most anticipated list of the year, he confirmed it at the time. I can't run my performance and year-end bonus, it's been a long time.

Looking back now, I really have a burning eye, how did I dig up a rising star like Alice?

"No problem, I'll leave the work of contact. The sales on the first day are so high, so the child can get a lot of profits, presumably after knowing it, she can dream of laughing, right?"

Brown's words were immediately ridiculed by his colleagues: "Okay, you guy, you are laughing out loud in your own dreams, right? The year-end bonus is so rich, your mortgage has finally been paid off completely." ”

"Yes, yes, and the new flamingo you bought, with these batches of performance, you can buy another new car!"

"Brown, you have to thank Alice, how much she can earn is her business, and what can go to you is real!"

Listening to the ridicule of his colleagues full of envy and jealousy, Brown also nodded vigorously, yes, if it weren't for the publication of Alice's book, with the current economic conditions of the family, he might really divorce his wife soon.

"yes, that's a good thank you. ”
