Chapter 137: The Big Star on the Plane
……
On January 15th, after breakfast, I said goodbye to the Sun family, and at nine o'clock in the morning, I boarded the plane to Chuncheng, the capital of J Province.
In mid-January, the peak of the Spring Festival has come, and various colleges and universities in Yanjing and some companies have been on vacation, and the cabin is full of people returning home and visiting relatives.
Sun Mingliang booked a first-class ticket for Enron, the seat was next to the aisle, and after the plane took off, Enron opened his notebook, stuffed headphones in his ears, and coded a novel on hand.
After uploading "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" because of the strong request of readers, An Ran spent the days of "three openings" writing, updating tens of thousands of words a day, plus the recording of songs by several singers of the Huaxia Brothers, and could not delay going to school.
Fortunately, "Harry Potter" ended a month ago, which made Enron really relieved.
In the past few days, the topic of Harry Potter on the Internet is still hot, and after An Ran lit a fire and successfully whetted the appetite of Harry Potter fans, with this limelight, "Harry Potter" has now entered the intense publishing stage.
The copyright is still signed to Starlight Publishing House, because of the cooperation of "The Legend of Wukong", this small publishing house, has left a good impression on Enron with the manpower and material resources paid for "The Legend of Wukong".
The 45% royalty is not low, not to mention that it was impossible in the previous life, even in this life, this figure can already reach the level of those big-name best-selling authors who have been famous for many years.
But Starlight still signed the contract very happily, with the last "Legend of Wukong" Zhuyu in front, so that Starlight made a lot of money, "An Fusheng", a mysterious and low-key cutting-edge writer, has already become a golden cash cow in the eyes of the publishing house.
Besides, now "Harry Potter" has such an impact. Being able to sign this popular novel from more than 20 peers who are eyeing him is already secretly happy, even if the royalties demanded by An Fusheng are a few points higher, Starlight will definitely not hesitate to sign it.
In addition to the upcoming Chinese version, the English version of Harry Potter is also in full swing. It's just that at present, only two countries, the United States and England, can be put on the shelves simultaneously with China.
These two countries also have the most Harbin fans, and the number is not much worse than that of China, and even the English Harbin fan group has a trend of surpassing the domestic one.
Other countries, including Japan, South Korea, India, and some countries in Europe, are still in negotiations, and there are too many companies that have sent in to buy copyrights. An Ran couldn't handle it alone, and he didn't know much about the situation of the various publishing houses, so An Ran threw these matters to Starlight to do.
Although there is no penny to take, Starlight is also willing to eat, and today's best-selling author is definitely a scarce resource for various publishing houses to break through the brain, and can maintain a good relationship with An Fusheng. It's a little thing.
In previous lives, Harry Potter was published once a year. In other words, it took seven years to cultivate the market.
In the past seven years, the number of Harry Potter fans has increased exponentially every year, especially after the release of the first two films, the influence of "Harry Potter" has spread outside the United Kingdom.
Enron, of course, did not have that patience, and spent seven years waiting for the influence of the book to gradually ferment. Especially when he saw that the networks of various countries in this world were almost in a situation of barrier-free communication, it was possible to publish the entire "Harry Potter" at one time.
But compared to the previous life, after all, there is less help from the movie. The time to cultivate the market has also been greatly shortened, so Enron has to use spoilers to make up for other deficiencies with hype.
Moreover, the celebrity effects of Yongle Emperor, Princess Sophia in England, etc., also added a fire to the popularity of this book, making the current influence of "Harry Potter" no worse than in the previous life.
In addition, there were only seven "Harry Potter" in the previous life when it was published, and Enron divided the novel into eight according to the filming schedule of the previous life movie, which has little impact on the integrity of the content, and it is not better to say that seven is better or eight.
Ultimately...... An Ran shook his head helplessly, in the final analysis, it is a matter of money, one more book, one more money, this is not a small number, especially at the moment when he is in urgent need of financial support.
……
“…… According to a recent report by ITV TV in the United Kingdom, with the news of the upcoming publication of "Harry Potter" confirmed by the author An Fusheng, and the entire set of eight films was put on the shelves at the same time, making Harry fans from all over the world cheer...... In the past few days, London, the capital of England, has gathered hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the UK, especially the nine and three-quarters stations leading to Hogwarts in the novel, and many Harbin fans have been longing for a long time...... Let's take a look at the live report......"
Satellite communication devices have long been installed on Chinese airliners in this life, and Internet access and real-time television have long been no problem.
Foyles is one of the largest bookstores in the world, located in London, the capital of England, and will be one of the Harry Potter bookstores, and it is not surprising that so many Harry Potter fans are gathering in London as the date of Harry Potter's publication approaches.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a big stone fell in An Ran's heart, in this situation, the sales of "Harry Potter" no longer need to be worried, and the filming funds of "Journey to the West" will naturally be settled.
After a few months of rebirth, he earned millions by writing novels, millions of paid downloads of songs, and a copy of "The Legend of Wukong" earned more than 20 million, but ...... An Ran leaned back in the chair, rubbing his eyebrows helplessly, he was now a solid poor bastard.
He was sighing here, with a "click" in his ears, An Ran turned his head to look, on the other side of the aisle, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with excitement in her eyes, leaned over, holding a mobile phone in her hand, and saw An Ran's surprised gaze, immediately blushed slightly, and smiled shyly.
An Ran blinked, the journey from Yanjing to Chuncheng in J Province was less than two hours, so after he got on the plane today, he wore a peaked cap on his head. I didn't take off the scarf, covering half of my face...... He thought he was low-key enough, and even then he could tell.
"Xiaoyu, I photographed it! I'll just say I'm not mistaken, it really is! With a smile on her face, the girl handed her phone to her classmate sitting next to her.
"Huh? Is it really Wu Feifei? Xiuxiu. Your eyes are too thief, you recognize them? ”
The girl who took the picture was full of smug noses, "Yes!" There have never been a few singers in our J province, and their information is basically backwards, I know how many moles Wu Feifei has on her face, not to mention that she wears sunglasses, even if she adds a hat, I can recognize it. ”
"Praise you twice, you still gasp for ......"
……
The two girls chatted excitedly, and shook their heads with a smile. Well, it seems a little self-inflicted.
Since having the experience of being surrounded by fans once, An Ran deliberately keeps a low profile every time he goes out, seeing that the two girls are not paying attention to themselves, An Ran has nothing to lose, but his heart is relaxed, and he said that the glory of being a star is infinite, but in fact, the bitterness and pain of living in the spotlight forever. It's really not an outsider.
An Ran tilted his head sideways and glanced inward, sitting in the seat inside him. It was a girl wearing a brown trench coat and a shawl with long hair, with sunglasses on her face, covering her eyebrows and eyes, but looking at the straight nose and fair complexion. The girl's face should be pleasing to the eye.
Wu Feifei? An Ran thought about it in his mind for a while, not long after his debut, he knew very few singers, and he didn't hear much, and the girl didn't look very old. should have debuted a few years ago, and if you are a newcomer in the music world, An Ran knows even less.
If it was a senior singer, he might have heard of it, but Wu Feifei's name, An Ran shook his head, completely unimpressed.
Just a moment later, maybe the girl named Xiuxiu moved too much, and more than a dozen passengers had quietly run over to take pictures, and after a while, there was already a whisper in the cabin.
"Wu Feifei? Is it famous? ”
"Hmm...... Fortunately, among the new generation of singers in J Province, they are considered top-notch, and they can often be seen on some programs. ”
"Daughter-in-law, have you heard her songs? Why am I not impressed? ”
"Oh, you don't watch much TV, how can you recognize it."
"Cut--that doesn't make any good work, right?"
"What's the matter, it's a star, isn't it? What's the matter? Are you still planning to meet Chu Feng and Huang Zihao here? Hmph, give me the notebook, I'll ask for an autograph......"
……
Wu Feifei is immersed in joy, this time to Beijing for half a year, and finally negotiated a contract with BQ at the end of the year, all the treatment is preferential, signed this industry giant, from now on, it can be said that the real sky is high and the bird flies, the students of the alma mater who debuted together do not know how envious they are.
The passengers in the cabin secretly took pictures, and she had long been aware of it, but this is part of the life of a public figure, and since she has entered this industry, she must have this awareness.
Besides, she has nothing to be bored in her heart, compared to the unknown nationality when she was developing in Province J, and no one recognized her when she walked on the street, the current situation is enough to show that her current popularity and popularity are undoubtedly much higher than before, and Wu Feifei is too late to rejoice.
"I'm sorry, but can I ......?"
Wu Feifei took off her eyes and showed a sweet smile, looking extraordinarily amiable, this is a compulsory course as a star, and since the day of her debut, her agent has repeatedly reminded her.
Nodding, Wu Feifei's voice was soft, "Yes, where is the sign?" ”
The little boy next to her just peeked at her several times, and Wu Feifei saw it in her eyes, but this little boy seemed a little shy and didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Wu Feifei has met a lot of such fans, and she is undoubtedly much cuter than those hysterical fans.
"Uh......" An Ran touched his nose a little speechlessly, he didn't know that the look he had just made had been taken as a peek, his somewhat hesitant appearance this time looked even more shy and shy in Wu Feifei's eyes.
"Hehe, don't be embarrassed, didn't you bring a pen and paper?"
Wu Feifei empathetically took out a delicate red diary and a pen from her bag, "I have it here, what's your name?" ”
"Uh...... I mean, I'm sorry, but can you raise your arm, you... It's pressed against my clothes. ”
An Ran spread his hands, and sighed in his heart, this girl's attitude towards fans is undoubtedly their model of being an artist, a confidant sister among stars, but he definitely can't do it himself, no matter in the previous life or this life, what he is most afraid of is trouble.
Withdrawing his clothes, An Ran, who was sighing with emotion, didn't see that Wu Feifei's fair little face instantly turned red, embarrassed, annoyed, and her expression was wonderful.
The girl was crazy in her heart, thinking about her self-made appearance just now, Wu Feifei couldn't wait to find a crack to get into, and the conversation between the two just now was not small, at least she could hear it clearly, since she made her debut, she had never done such a humiliating thing.
"You ......" Wu Feifei bit her lip tightly, stared at An Ran with big eyes, and stared at An Ran with hatred,
