At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lin Xiao flew to Donghai City, where Dongwen Publishing House is located, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, a press conference was held at the Huazhu Hotel in Donghai City.

In fact, this press conference was originally to summarize the overseas sales of "Detective Poirot" and the domestic sales of "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Murder on the Nile", but due to the publication plan of "First Close Contact" provided by Lin Xiao, the content of this press conference was also enriched.

At the press conference, Xia Jing first summarized the global sales of "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Murder on the Nile", and then revisited the status of these two novels in the Chinese mystery community, and also praised Lin Xiao.

Only then did he begin to announce the publication plan of "The First Close Contact", and the media still paid close attention to Lin Xiao's new book, after all, since Zhou Duyu was finished, Lin Xiao has become synonymous with bestsellers, as long as it is Lin Xiao's book, it must be a big seller.

Therefore, questions about "The First Close Contact" also came one after another, however, in order not to cause spoilers due to too much revelation of the news, Xia Jing only gave the media three opportunities to ask questions.

"Mr. Fuyao, can I ask what kind of story this book is about?" The first reporter to be named was a young man who was a little excited when he stood up to ask a question, and he spoke so fast that his voice trembled a little.

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded: "My novel is about a love story. ”

"Uh," I didn't expect Lin Xiao to pass it so perfunctorily, the young man was a little anxious, and at the same time secretly regretted that he was so excited to see his idol that the question was not detailed enough.

After wasting a question, the other reporters expressed their dissatisfaction with the young man, and the young man had to apologize to everyone for mercy.

The second question was pointed out by a woman in her thirties, and the question she asked was very targeted, which seemed to summarize Lin Xiao's cunning.

"Fuyao, I want to ask, what is this love story about, is it a tragedy or a comedy? What do you expect from this book? With a charming smile, she asked quickly.

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, shook his finger and smiled: "You have a foul in this question, you have a total of three questions...... It's cunning, but forget it this time, and the next question can't be like this. ”

"First of all, this is a novel about online dating, secondly, the tragic comedy has no comment, and thirdly, I have high expectations for this book because it is a story that touches the heart." Lin smiled and answered her question.

"Fuyao, is it a tragedy or a comedy? You didn't answer. The female reporter was a little dissatisfied.

Lin smiled and spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Continue to ask the third question, in fact, there is nothing to ask about the third question, what everyone cares about most is the outcome of the story, but looking at Lin Xiao's appearance, he is not going to tell everyone, so the third question is just a symbolic way for Lin Xiao to predict sales.

The data given by Lin Xiao is one million copies, this number doesn't matter to everyone, anyway, in their hearts, every book Lin Xiao has now, if the sales are less than one million copies, it will be hell.

After the press conference, Lin Xiao and Xia Jing had a meal together, and there was actually a book between the two of them, so there was nothing to talk about, and the intersection between the two was limited to this.

Xia Jing has already figured it out these days, and after a few hints, Lin Xiao didn't react at all, of course she didn't believe that Lin Xiao didn't see what she meant, but she didn't want to express her position, for fear of hurting herself, she herself was just a moment of spring, and when it passed, she was relieved.

So facing Lin Xiao again, the little embarrassment between the two has disappeared without a trace, and the atmosphere of sister and brother has returned to before.

After eating, Lin Xiao rushed to the airport, he would rather go home later than spend the night outside, this habit cannot be formed, once the habit of spending the night outside is formed, it is not easy to change, which is very detrimental to the harmony of the family in the future.

There was no class the next day, Lin Xiao was ready to sleep in, but she was woken up by a phone ringing, and when she picked up the phone, she saw that it was Li Yating calling.

Picking up the phone, Lin Xiao asked dissatisfiedly: "Call early in the morning, you are really enough, what is the matter?" ”

"Yo, it's eight o'clock, are you still sleeping? Didn't do a good job last night, did you? Li Yating asked in a playful tone.

"Come on, I didn't expect you to be so cold in front of people, but your back is full of filthy thoughts, if you have something to say, I have to go back to sleep." Lin Xiao was not polite at all.

"Your script has long been determined to be filmed, and the director, actors, and crew have all been prepared and ready to start filming in the past few days, and the filming location is selected in Xinhe, where there is the Gobi, which is quite suitable." Li Yating said.

"Well, the script hasn't been changed, right?" Lin Xiao asked with a yawn.

"No, not a word has changed, the investment this time is not large, it is estimated that it is about 60 million, and the profit is certain, but I don't know what will happen to the box office of such a small-cost movie." Li Yating said with some worry.

Lin Xiao said indifferently: "I'm not sure about the box office, but I believe that the reputation must be good, which will help improve your image, and it would be better if you added some special effects, but the cost will increase." ”

"It depends on the situation then, we have also considered the special effects, and when the time comes, we will shoot it, see where special effects need to be added, how much is the cost, this time the other costs are not much, but the props cost a lot of money, the ontology props of the spider spirit, it cost millions, and it will never be long." Li Yating sighed.

"You've invested?" Lin Xiao saw that Li Yating cared so much about the box office and cost, and felt that Li Yating might have participated in the investment, so he asked.

"Of course, I have to participate in the investment of the script, and I invested 30 million." Li Yating replied.

"Put your heart in your stomach, I can't pay for it anyway, I won't tell you, I have to go back to sleep, and when I have time, I'll go to the crew for a walk." As he spoke, Lin Xiao hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao wanted to go back to sleep, but this phone call made him sleepy, and he didn't fall asleep for a long time, so Lin Xiao had to get up.

Qiao Nier doesn't have a class today, so it's better to call out and go to the beach to play.

made a phone call to Jonier, but Jonier was watching TV in the dormitory and said that she wouldn't go out, Lin Xiao was very strange, what TV show is so good? So he asked Jonell, and Joanne gave the answer.

Perfect tone.

Perfect tone? Why haven't you heard of it before? It should be an ordinary draft, Lin Xiao also wanted to see if there was anything about this, so he turned on the TV and tuned to the channel that Qiao Nier said.
