Chapter 190 of the text volume

Next chapter

On Sunday, November 7, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan came to Xinhua Bookstore in Beijing together.

They don't come to buy books, but to attend a book signing event held by a publishing house, which is rarely held if it is a writer who writes strictly.

In China, there are not many readers who buy Yan Sù's books, and the book signing and selling does not play the role of publicity as it should be.

Best-selling authors are different, they often have a lot of social visibility and influence, and they have a certain readership, so as to attract readers to come and buy books.

This kind of signing activity has only emerged in China in the past two years, and film and television stars have become the main force among them.

Compared with the difficult birth of the novel "Alive", Mu Shanshan's new book is much smoother.

This kind of reminiscence bestseller does not need too advanced literary style, nor does it need to bother to ponder the plot, as long as it is flat and straightforward, and the more plain it is written, the more popular it will be for readers.

Mu Shanshan began to write the book in July, delivered it in September, printed and distributed it by the publishing house in October, and sold it all over the country in late October.

One is that the subject matter of the book is fine, and the other is the cooperation of the relevant cultural publishing departments.

Mu Zhiyuan's daughter published a book, if anyone stopped it, it would be boring for themselves, even if they were people who did not deal with Mu Zhiyuan in the officialdom, they would not make a fuss about such a trivial matter, and the means were too low-level.

In order not to cause trouble, before handing over the manuscript, Mu Shanshan still showed the manuscript to the senior management of Huaguo TV.

There are places in the book that involve Huaguo TV, but there is not much content.

For example, Lin Zixuan sells Chinese TV dramas in New York, and also mentions the establishment of a TV station in the United States.

A year has passed, and Huaguo TV's first overseas TV station, Dragon TV Americas, was officially launched on October 28, 1993, covering the entire North American region.

This TV station can broadcast the programs of Huaguo TV in real time, and can also produce programs in the United States, which is an extremely important propaganda position for the Chinese in North America.

This qiē is precisely because Lin Zixuan sent a work summary back to China at the beginning, so that the voice of Huaguo can spread throughout North America.

Of course, even if there is no Lin Zixuan, this kind of overseas TV station will be established sooner or later.

If Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan accepted the arrangement, they should work in Chicago in the United States now, it would be another life.

Mu Shanshan mentioned that difficult choice in the book, after all, there are still many people who want to live a good life in the United States.

The senior management of Huaguo TV felt that there was no problem, this matter was not a secret, Dragon TV in the Americas was about to be broadcast, and it was in need of publicity, and it was written by Gu Mu Shanshan, so that domestic readers could know that it was not easy to promote in the United States.

This is a performance of Huaguo TV, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

The publishing house in Spring City, Northeast China, was extremely satisfied with the manuscript and could not have imagined that there would be so many behind-the-scenes stories.

Bestsellers tend to be time-sensitive.

This book focuses on Mu Shanshan's identity as the host of Huaguo TV and the influence of "Beijing People in New York".

The later it is released, the lower the impact of "Beijingers in New York", unless it is until the Golden Oriole Awards in October next year, when the TV series wins the grand prize, there will be a rebound.

Neither Mu Shanshan nor the publishing house can wait for a year.

Lin Zixuan has seen the sample book, which contains many photos of them living and working in New York, which Mu Shanshan carefully selected and provided to the publishing house, and each one is memorable.

Because of these photos, the cost of printing the book has increased, and the price is fifteen yuan, which is a little more expensive.

The publisher printed the first batch of 50,000 copies, and to see the market response, the sales figures returned were very good.

After all, this is the first famous host of Huaguo TV to publish a book, and it is also involved in the hit TV series, readers are very interested, and after watching it, they can understand the common sense of life in the United States.

Tong Guò's "My 180 Days in the United States", readers see another side of Mu Shanshan, her love life and work attitude, she is not only a host, but also filmed a documentary, very serious and hard-working.

Among them, the preface written by Lin Zixuan is popular among young men and women, just like reading a youth romance novel.

The combination of so many factors has aroused the curiosity of readers and caused the book to sell well.

For this signing meeting, Mu Shanshan refused at first.

It's nothing for her to host a show on TV, it's work, and she doesn't want to show her head too much in private, preferring to live quietly and separate work and life.

What's more, Huaguo TV has strict requirements for the host.

In order to pursue sales, the publishing house tried its best to encourage Mu Shanshan, and the signing meeting is a current trend, which can play a role in publicity, and now it is a market economy, and even writers have gone to the sea to do business.

"Do you think I'm going to go?" asked Mu Shanshan.

"Let's go, you can't stay in Huaguo TV for the rest of your life, you always have to come out in the future, this situation is difficult to avoid. Lin Zixuan said.

With the development of local TV stations, although the status of Huaguo TV is still unshakable, the audience has more choices, and local TV stations are more free.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan both have a temperament that is unwilling to be restrained and do what they want to do.

In fact, the young people of this era are all the same, they have a restless heart, but some people are anxious and some people walk steadily.

They arrived at Xinhua Bookstore at half past nine in the morning, and the signing session was held at ten o'clock and lasted for an hour and a half.

At the door of the Xinhua bookstore hung a banner that read, "The famous host Miss Mu Shanshan's book signing".

Huaguo TV has a rule that the host cannot do private things outside under the banner of the TV station, so the words "Huaguo TV" are not added to the banner.

This is the result of Mu Shanshan's consultation with the Taiwan leaders.

In the bookstore, the publishing house had already prepared tables, chairs and books, and invited reporters from the newspaper to come, and after the signing meeting, Mu Shanshan had to be interviewed by reporters.

It's all for publicity.

Before ten o'clock, some readers began to line up, and Mu Shanshan's influence in the capital was not small.

At the beginning of the signing, Lin Zixuan stood aside and watched Mu Shanshan sit there smiling and talking to the reader, and signed his name on the book to send the reader away.

The whole process was smooth and there were no surprises.

In the next half hour, Mu Shanshan accepted an exclusive interview with the "Beijing Evening News" and talked about the reason for writing this book.

Refusing the publisher's invitation to dinner, they left Xinhua Bookstore.

"After signing so much, my hands are sore. When there were only two people, Mu Shanshan complained.

Lin Zixuan helped Mu Shanshan rub her wrists, walked to the front of the car, opened the car door, and let Mu Shanshan sit in.

It's the beginning of winter, and the two of them are going to their parents' house for dinner. (To be continued.) )
