Chapter 122: Showing Strength 13/13
While Wu Li and the others were stunned, Lin Xiao's phone rang, Lin Xiao took out the phone awkwardly, it was Xia Jing calling, Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and made an apologetic expression to Smith, and then answered the phone.
"Hey, Lin Xiao, where are you?" Xia Jing's voice was a little hurried and a little excited.
Lin Xiao replied softly, "Sister Xia, I'm in HN." ”
"What are you doing at HN? Well, whatever it takes to you, I want to tell you great news. Xia Jing said excitedly.
"What's the good news? Thrill you like this. Lin laughed.
"Remember the last time I told you about the overseas publication of Murder on the Orient Express and Murder on the Nile?" Xia Jing asked.
Lin Xiao nodded: "Of course I remember, it should be nearly twenty countries to be published, right?" ”
Xia Jing said loudly: "Bingo! Now the weekly sales of these twenty countries are out! ”
Lin Xiao didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, because after he handed over this matter to Xia Jing, he never paid attention to it again, and his trust in Xia Jing was overwhelming, so when Xia Jing said the news, he still felt a little sudden.
"How much?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Basically all countries publish these two books together, so they are both single books, renamed "Detective Poirot", and the total sales as of 10 o'clock BJ time yesterday are 23.69 million copies! Among them, the sales of rice countries and island countries have all exceeded the five million mark! Xia Jing was so excited that her voice trembled a little: "You know, Lin Xiao, this achievement is something that many masters of mystery fiction have not reached!" You're really developed this time! ”
Lin Xiao was stunned, more than 20 million sales, this is definitely the best sales in his history, no wonder the reputation value of the system soon reached 10 million, it turned out that this is the reason, this is the prestige in the world!
"When will you be back? The company is going to have a press conference and a celebration banquet, and you have to attend it then, and you set a date, so we can have a preparation. Xia Jing asked.
"A week." Lin Xiao replied.
"Okay, you get busy first, I'm going to prepare too, and now there are a lot of reporters downstairs!" Xia Jing said.
Lin Xiao hung up the phone, but found that everyone was looking at him with wide eyes, Lin Xiao slapped his head suddenly, damn, he was still embarrassed in front of foreigners...... Should I go out to answer the phone......
However, Lin Xiao thought too much, and everyone stared at him because everyone heard the conversation between Xia Jing and him on the other end of the phone, and they were shocked by Lin Xiao's sales! Since it was very quiet just now, the voice on the phone didn't sound difficult, and even Smith, who was ordinary in Huaxia, understood a rough idea.
Overseas sales of more than 23 million, and it is still a week's sales, what is this concept? Proper God!
And it's the best-selling work in the history of the exchange!
The final sales are likely to double on this basis!
Wu Li and others, as those engaged in movies, couldn't understand what this kind of sales means, if it is adapted into a movie, just by relying on this mass base, they can maintain a high box office! The box office easily broke two or three hundred million yuan!
The most important thing is that the cost of this kind of film is not high!
What is this concept? Money! Banknotes! Box office!
Thinking of this, their eyes became hot......
"Congratulations to Mr. Lin for achieving such a good result!" Smith first smiled and congratulated Lin Xiao.
Lin smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Smith, thank you, but I still can't believe it now." ”
Smith couldn't help laughing when he saw Lin smiling and cute: "Mr. Lin should be proud, I think anyone who can achieve such results should be proud, because these two works are indeed extremely wonderful, I sometimes wonder what you have in your head, how can you come up with such a wonderful story." ”
Lin Xiao also laughed.
Smith chatted with Wu Lilin Xiao and the others for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving, Smith left Lin Xiao his contact information, and told Lin Xiao to contact him next time he went to California, and he would invite Lin Xiao to his home as a guest.
After Smith left, the atmosphere became dreary again.
Wu Li and the others didn't know what to say, Lin Xiao was looked down upon by them, but they didn't expect Lin Xiao to be so powerful! Not only has it achieved phenomenal sales, but even Smith is a fan of his!
This made Wu Li and the others feel a little embarrassed, but these people who they disdained in every way were extremely appreciated by the people they flattered in every way, this kind of thing seemed to them to be a fantasy, but it happened, and everyone was at a loss for a while, and they didn't know what to do with Lin Xiao.
To be honest, Lin Xiao's works don't matter to them, they don't need to use such works to seize the market, they have enough confidence and a good reputation, but some other smaller companies will value his works very much, which will bring them some impact
Well, they can also not care, but who doesn't want to earn a little more on their own?
In any case, the most important thing is not to let your peers get benefits.
But they are against Lin Xiao and Qiao Nier being together, even if Lin Xiao is very promising now, they also think that no matter how good Lin Xiao is, he is just an author, or he can become a gold medal screenwriter in the future, and even a gold medal director is possible, and it is still not a good match for Qiao Nier's identity.
In the eyes of Chinese people, it is very important.
Wu Li thought for a while and said to Lin Xiao: "Lin Xiao, I didn't expect you to be the author of "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Murder on the Nile". ”
Lin smiled and said: "It's nothing, I guess you haven't read these two novels, after all, it's just a speculative novel, and it shouldn't be in your eyes." ”
Wu Li smiled awkwardly: "Although I haven't seen it, being able to achieve such sales is enough to prove that they are wonderful, which I think no one will deny." ”
At this time, Wu Qiang interjected: "Big brother, I said from the beginning that Lin Xiao is not simple, right?" I didn't expect to be right! ”
Wu Li glanced at Wu Qiang and said, "Lin Xiao didn't admit it at that time, how could I know?" ”
Wu Qiang smiled and closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Wu Li thought for a while, and finally said his thoughts: "I think that such two excellent works should appear on the big screen." ”
Lin Xiao looked at Wu Li with a smile, Wu Li felt very unhappy when he was looked at like this by a junior, and was about to say Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao spoke: "I think the matter of adapting the movie can be talked about later, I have a question now, I don't know if you can answer it for me?" ”
Wu Li smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"I came to find Qiao Nier, and the old lady asked me to come, but I came for so long and I didn't see them, why is this?" Lin Xiao asked with a sneer.
