The news of "USA Today" brought a little trouble to Xu An, and after the newspaper went public, some die-hard fans of Leo Clara publicly said that Xu An wanted to compare with his idol, which was beyond his strength! His so-called miracles are all funny in front of the "Birds of Paradise" series. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are also people who say that there are not no writers who can surpass Leo, but it can't be Xu An, if he wants to do this, he will have to wait at least twenty years, and it will be possible when Leo is old.

But there was no response from Leo Clara himself, and in fact he was locked up in his Atlanta villa, preoccupied with his new book, perhaps not reading the newspaper at all, and no one could interview him.

Xu An ignored Leo's readers' remarks, he just showed confidence in his work and did not maliciously attack Leo.

In the next few days, the sales of "Twilight" continued to increase, and although it was still a bestseller, it was still not comparable to the phenomenal sales boom of "Lovely Bones".

There are also middle-aged readers of "Bones" who bought the book but didn't like it, which caused its online rating to drop from five to four stars.

But most young readers love it, and there is a lot of discussion among young people on the book forum, and some people on Twitter keep naming it and recommending it to their friends.

Cliff Bunian said, "This is the best novel I've ever read, and I don't have one of them, and I highly recommend it to everyone!" ”

"Romantic, exciting, thrilling, "Twilight" is addictive, I haven't eaten all day after I bought the book, all the time is spent reading it, now I have read it once, and I am about to read it a second time, looking forward to "New Moon", I hope the author can speed up the writing @ Xu An." Britney Pansy, an acute girl, named Xu An.

At the same time, major media outlets have also given their own comments.

The official Amazon review reads: "Xu An's delicate, subtle brushstrokes make this amazing set of novels transcend the limitations of horror and suspense literature and rank among the best young adult novels." ”

Publishers Weekly said: "Ill-fated passions permeate the work, and the supernatural elements are even more fascinating." ”

However, the tepid sales of "Twilight" compared to "Bones" also made some people who hated Xu An find an excuse to attack him, in addition to the Washington Post, as always, did not want to see Xu An, and the New York Evening News also joined the ranks.

Stanley's departure has deprived the New York Evening News of a big story, but they have apparently found a new direction, and in the latest issue of the New York Evening News, Franstein wrote: "Compared to the popularity of "Lovely Bones", the sales scene of "Twilight" seems a little deserted, of course, it has performed well in the works released in the same period, but how much of this is due to the influence of "Bones"? It is said that some readers bought Xu An's new book because they loved "Bones", but after reading it, they cried out......"

In any case, the New York Times is right that Twilight sold 50,000 copies in its first week, and some of it was driven by Bones, but despite this, 50,000 copies were still far from Bones.

At this rate, it could climb the New York Times bestseller list, but it couldn't make it into the top three.

Fortunately, after Boulder Random counted the sales of major bookstores, he found a good news, that is, the sales of this book are very stable, and there is a hidden upward trend, and every day young people enter the bookstore under the introduction of friends, indicating to buy "Twilight".

In this regard, Xu An is not in the slightest hurry, he knows better than anyone the value of the book "Twilight", the entire "Twilight" series is definitely a huge gold mine, although it is not enough in the early stage, but the stamina is very large, one day it will surprise everyone.

The "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, which also had a flat start and a huge overall value, did not go as smoothly as "Twilight", and the publishers did not like it as always, and some publishing companies even clearly rejected it after seeing the heavy canonical set.

A set of settings that is much longer than the main text of the general work, what reader has the patience to read it through?!

This also strengthened Xu An's determination to buy a publishing company, and Lance has been busy looking for a suitable seller lately, and Matthew is also helping to keep an eye on it.

Before Thanksgiving, Xu An participated in two more live book fan activities, and at the same time, at the invitation of the US national television, participated in a TV interview, and showed his face on a nightly talk show.

Although the ratings of the show are average, after all, it is Xu An's first time on the screen, and he still specially collected a video of the show.

The rest of the time, he's been writing his new book, perfecting the screenplay, and mostly staying at home.

Still, there were people who refused to let him go.

That's the famous big mouth, Lloyd Cooper!

Since learning that Xu An is going to prepare a new script, Mr. Lloyd has found fun, and often posts on his Twitter to sneer at Xu An.

"How's the children's stage script going? @许安"

"If you want to write a good stage script, you need to have a lot of knowledge, in addition to your writing ability, you also need to know music, you need to know dance, obviously, I don't see where you show this trait @ Xu An"

"I encountered a very funny thing today, and I would like to share with you, in the morning, the cleaner in the company announced that he was going to write a stage script, and he thought that anyone could write a stage script, haha!"

At the beginning, Lloyd's remarks were still followed by some people to watch the excitement, but later he said more and more excessively, Xu An has not spoken yet, and fans can't watch it first.

Someone directly @Lloyd, asked: "I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Lloyd, it's just a stage script, it's like a novel, a piece of music, anyone can try it, I wrote a simple script when I was in the high school club, but no one laughed at me at that time, and I don't know what to say about it!" ”

This is a little more modest, the radical ones directly call Lloyd a "mad dog", but there are not many people, thanks to the warm style of "Bones", Xu An's first readers and fans are more sensible, most of them have ups and downs and rich life experiences, which is enough for them to calmly look at these trivial things.

But "Twilight" also brought fresh blood to Xu An's readership, most of whom were young, rebellious, and even more unscrupulous on the Internet, and Lloyd's personal homepage was once attacked by Xu An's book fans.

At first, Xu An ignored Lloyd, but he was named from time to time, he couldn't pay attention to the other party if he wanted to, and finally, Xu An was also angry, and directly updated a status, and @ the other party!
