Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Diamond Egg

First of all, good news. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the publication of that long report, it caused an unimaginable sensation on the side of US imperialism.

Many people were amazed, amazed, and even more curious, and countless letters flew to the headquarters of the New York Daily News and Bantam Books every day, and many people found the customer service numbers of both companies, and in the words of the letters, the phones of both companies were blown up by readers.

Many media outlets, including major television stations in the United States, asked Bantam Books for the address of Li Mo's home.

Seeing this, Li Mo was very happy, fortunately he deliberately noted this clause in the contract, otherwise he wouldn't want to study.

Bantam Books was forced by this contract to disclose the address of Li Mo's house. Even if there was no contract, Li Mo had instructed them, but they didn't dare either.

Needless to say, this book will be a big hit, and they don't dare to think about it. The problem is that there are still two books in the back, and there are several other sets of books. But not just a few sets of books, won't Li Mo think of more ideas and write more popular books in the future?

Anyway, in the eyes of the top executives of Bantam Chicken Books, Li Mo has almost become a chicken that can lay golden eggs, not even golden eggs, but diamond eggs.

But this book is really popular, and more than 200 million copies have been distributed! If you include pirated books and electronic books, the number will be doubled or even quadrupled.

Now the book hasn't come out yet, and even the various dinosaur books on the market have become popular first.

What's even better is that before the book came out, the major Hollywood film companies sent people over and asked for the address of Li Mo's house, wanting to negotiate the film copyright, and they didn't need to send a sample book to promote it.

For this article, Li Mo also expected it.

Before Michael Clayton, the author of the original book, wrote the novel, the idea alone attracted the attention of many film companies, and before the book was published, Universal paid $1.5 million for the adaptation rights. Don't worry, there is a big head behind one and a half million dollars, and the movie will pay dividends at the box office. Li Mo didn't know exactly how much Clayton would get paid in the end, but it was not less than seven or eight million, or even more than ten million.

It is impossible for the movie to shoot all the plots, considering the length of the novel, plus the budget, shooting feasibility and casting factors, the final script only selected 10-20% of the plot of the book, Clayton also participated in the adaptation of the script, but not alone, there were many people involved, in order to get him involved, Universal paid another half a million dollars.

This is what Li Mo needs, because before the end of the year, not more than the beginning of next year at the latest, he wants to make an important investment, which requires a lot of money, and the manuscript fee for this book will not be less in the future, but it must be sold slowly, Li Mo can't wait for that time. Although the completion of the book was half a year slower than he thought, it now seems that it has made up for it in half a year.

Good news, but as he expected.

Although Clayton is a salesman, he also has an age advantage, and the two offset each other, and he does not have the upper hand. The political environment is good, everything is difficult at the beginning, if it is a few years later, it will be hehe.

And then there's the bad news.

Not everyone was curious, and the New York Daily News itself was not very rigorous, and many people did not believe it, thinking that it was a ridiculous joint hype by the two companies.

They haven't seen the book yet, otherwise there would have been more people questioning.

This book will be touched by all kinds of popular science knowing.

The first is the knowledge of various biological aspects, including cloning and dinosaur knowledge.

The second is some other scientific and technological knowledge, including the mobile phone written in the first one, but after publication, readers will mistakenly think that it is Motorola's big brother, it is almost coming out, Li Mo will not explain and describe more, just simply bring a few sentences, and there is an illustration that also draws the appearance of a real mobile phone.

I wrote it, and not too many people will pay attention to it, so let's save it for another sensation in a few years.

The third is all kinds of mathematical knowledge, especially this one, the original author Clayton is a doctoral student at Harvard University, and has enough knowledge to support all the popular science theories in this book.

In his previous life, Li Mo had good grades, but he couldn't do it in high numbers, such as the chaos theory in a large section of the book.

But it's not a big problem, the selling point of this book is creativity, not some chaos theory, if it's to pretend to be forced, you can write a little bit, that's enough. This Li Mo can do it, anyway, it's not for him to write papers, calculate formulas, and if he really doesn't understand, he will avoid the important and bypass it.

Clayton's defeat was based on this chaos theory.

The first was "Jurassic Park", which sold very well.

The second is "The Lost World", and there is also a "Lost World", which was written by Arthur Conan Doyle, if you don't know this book, please watch the movie "King Kong", if you don't know this author, please see "The Complete Sherlock Holmes Detective Works".

Li Mo didn't pay attention to the book "The Lost World", but Clayton's "The Lost World" had big problems, going to the island, encountering the Tyrannosaurus rex, being attacked by the velociraptor and escaping, and even the plot of the protagonist Malcolms being injured was the same as the first one.

Not only that, but the book is too much of a mess theory, and the result is awkward. If it weren't for the fire of the movie and his last book, this book would have hit the street if it didn't get right.

Therefore, Clayton could not write the third part.

Of course, Clayton is already amazing, but he is in a situation and does not realize that the reason why this book is a big seller is not your chaos theory, but dinosaurs, all kinds of dinosaurs.

In Li Mo's plan, large-scale modifications began to be made from the second part, the second part of the military entered, the little boy had an accident on the glider, and the protagonist took people to look for it, because of the entry of the military, more and more ferocious dinosaurs appeared on the island, and there was a conflict with the military, and this story will be plump, and it will not be the same as the first part.

Not to mention the third part, Jurassic Island opened, tourists came, and Li Mo could write a million words if he had the heart to fill the water......

However, Li Mo pretended to be forced for this book, and there is indeed a lot of popular science knowledge in it, and with his age, there will be more people who question it.

Bantam Books said one thing at the end of the letter, no matter how many people question it, the book will be a big hit, and it can't be more popular.

Therefore, they sent people to work overtime to correct the typesetting, and the original plan was to publish it in mid-November, but now it can be published at the end of September, and it can be published ahead of schedule, so it cannot be delayed until Li Mo's winter vacation to go over to publicize it, otherwise it will seriously affect sales in the midst of doubts.

So they said in the letter: Your country has a National Day, can you rush to the United States on the National Day to cooperate with our propaganda?

Li Mole is happy, these old beauties actually know China's National Day.

This time is really good, when the school will have a three-day long vacation, and the midterm exams are just over.

He replied with a letter, ignoring the doubters, and that he would go to the United States on October 1, and would also participate in some press conferences, including book signings, with Bantam Books.

When the time comes, I will answer the questions of these people and reporters myself.

If a film company is interested in buying film rights, ask them to send a representative to negotiate with them on October 5.

At that time, he will not only participate in various publicity activities, but also do an important thing, and Li Mo will inevitably take a long vacation for several days outside of the holiday.

The reason why it is No. 5 is because with his arrival, the book will sell faster, and after a few days, he will have more money to negotiate.

Li Mo wrote again, but at that time, I hope that Bantam Books will continue to send people in advance, otherwise the visa will be a big trouble. Not only must he sign his own certificate of going abroad, but also his father's certificate of going abroad.

What should I do, I am underage, and I have to run around with my father.

In the end, he said that if he sent someone over, he would go to the Su family in Chao City first, and he was in Chao City at that time, in case they sent someone to his hometown, they would not be able to communicate with anything.

Li Mo went to the town with the letter, and when he passed by Nangang Primary School, he took a look.

Several bricklayers have already begun construction.

In his previous life, these old men had always been good to him, let alone in this life.

It's a small return.

It's two small regrets, once these seven tiled houses are built, Nangang Primary School will look even more dilapidated, which can only be solved next year.

In the other is a small shop on the edge of the nursing home, the owner is also a lonely old man, surnamed Chen, in his previous life, he often read villain books at his house, went to the fifth grade, went to the town primary school to study, and was further away, Li Mo couldn't come back, so his parents found Lao Chen and asked Li Mo to eat at his house at noon. Lao Chen is also good to Li Mo, and the food money given by his parents is not even enough for him to eat at Lao Chen's house.

In this life, it is impossible for Li Mo to read the villain's book, and the handover is not big.

And Lao Chen is about to move back to town.

By next year, you can also do something appropriate to repay.

This is also Li Mo's character, he does not repay his kindness. It's hard to hold it in your heart.

When he came to the post office, Li Mo sent a registered letter and spent a lot of money, but Li Guangping didn't say a word this time.

A few people from the post office also came around to see the strangeness, and it seems that this matter has been spread all over the town...... Li Mo couldn't help but rub his head.

The envelope was good, Li Mo walked out of the post office, leaned on the telephone pole at the door, looked up at the sky, the weather was gradually getting hot, and it was refreshing, blue, it really seemed to be a jewel, and there were a few white clouds floating leisurely.

Li Mo suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, not dizziness, but a kind of relaxation. In my previous life, I was too hard, and after a few years of layout, it was finally time to harvest. Even if he doesn't do anything in the future, he can live a life of eating and waiting for death.
