Chapter 216: A Masterpiece of a Generation

"Twilight" is on the fourth day of its release, and the first three days have been tepid, and even have a tendency to become a garbage book.

However, just one day later, starting yesterday afternoon, a frightening rush to buy began for no reason.

Anyone who has experienced that kind of scene can deeply appreciate how popular "Twilight" really is.

Even people in the industry who have been running a book supermarket for many years were frightened.

A garbage novel that was useless three days ago has become the hottest bestseller of the moment in the blink of an eye, and this amazing transformation is incomprehensible to everyone who knows it.

Although I can't understand it, all merchants understand one thing, "Twilight" is already popular! Even "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" did not appear in this kind of scene.

J.K. Rowling's position in the publishing market is that of a supergiant, a queen-level existence.

It's like Microsoft's position in the software space, unmatched.

But now, all insiders clearly found that yesterday afternoon was the special session of "Twilight". That's all you can hear.

Those who bought the book looked like they were looking forward to it and waiting anxiously, which is absolutely unique in their lives.

However, anyone who is familiar with the name Link is making another exclamation.

"A master of hype and an invincible marketing expert, Link is simply the savior of the publishing market. When the stock market opens today, the publishing sector is definitely going to rise. ”

The appearance of J.K. Rowling with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has already stirred up a whirlwind in the publishing world.

And when Link's "Twilight" suddenly rose to prominence. It wasn't a whirlwind anymore, it was a tornado.

Early in the morning, when Link showed up at the company. But I saw that every employee was busy packing something, and when I got closer, I realized that these guys were actually bagging the brand new "Twilight Zone", and they were still writing addresses one by one.

"What are you doing here?"

Link asked in a whisper as he stood behind an employee.

The employee was busy writing the address, and said without looking back: "Of course it's selling books, I was trying to cheer for the small boss." I bought 10 copies of "Twilight" at once, which made me regret it for a while. But now it's okay, hehe. Many people who can't buy books are asking for them online, and the price is two or three times the original price, so I can make a small fortune. ”

Link couldn't help but touch his nose and said in his heart. Am I paying them a very low salary? Otherwise. How can they even look at this little bit of money?

The other party obviously didn't expect that standing behind him was Link who had made him regret it for a while, still nagging: "You don't know how scary our little boss is, every time you do something, you have to hang other people's nerves to death first, and then in the end, you will have to make a desperate turn, that kind of feeling, people who are not particularly tenacious in their hearts, can't bear it at all." ”

As he spoke. The kid was still shaking his head and sighing.

However, other colleagues on the side had already spotted Link and hurriedly put away the things they were packing. Looking at the child's eyes, they were all full of pity.

Link's face was almost red, and he thought, am I as bad as he says?

"How much do you get paid each month?"

Link asked curiously.

The employee put the address package away, and then smiled proudly: "My monthly salary is 30,000 US dollars, what about you?" ”

"Me?" Link thought hard, but he really couldn't figure out what his 'monthly salary' was.

Seeing that the guy behind him didn't answer, the guy laughed again: "It's okay, the salary is really not high at the beginning, and it will be good in the future." Like me, I've been in the company for almost two years, and it just rose to 30,000 last month, and you will ...... in the future Forehead...... Johnny, why are you looking at me like that? ”

At this moment, Old Polk's son, Johnny, came over and glanced at the same time. However, the other party obviously didn't understand what he meant.

Link hooked his hand, and Johnny ran over, first glanced at the kid with pity, and then smiled at Link with a shy face: "Little boss, what are your orders?" ”

Hearing the words 'little boss', the guy who was busy packing suddenly shuddered, twisted his neck in a daze, and just saw Link standing behind him.

Link patted Johnny on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Who recruited this bear child?" ”

Johnny smiled bitterly at his colleague who was shivering with cold sweat on his face, and replied cautiously, "Yes...... It's me. ”

"Oh." Link nodded faintly, and then glanced at everyone next to him, making almost everyone who felt Link's gaze couldn't help but tremble.

In Johnny's trembling gaze, Link said slowly: "Your salary this month is gone, and your father's annual salary is deducted by half, and all this money is used as a bonus for employees." By the way, remember to ask your dad to deliver his new helicopter to my house. In the future, any maintenance costs and personnel salaries were deducted from his annual salary. After saying that, Link smiled and patted Johnny's shoulder: "Is there a problem?" ”

"I didn't ...... Scold...... No problem. ”

It wasn't until he saw the little boss leave that Johnny couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his face, and the expression on his face instantly became painful.

"It's over, my dad has to beat me to death." Johnny wailed, and when he saw the men around him, Johnny suddenly became annoyed: "Bastard, the little boss deducted my salary, and also deducted my father's annual salary, my Lamborghini, when will I be able to buy it." ”

And the employees, who were very nervous just now, breathed a sigh of relief. Especially the guy who was called 'Bear Child' by Link just now is miserable, and the code name given by this little boss is estimated to have been with him for a long time.

Link was still at ease, he thought someone was deducting employees' salaries, but fortunately, this kind of thing obviously wouldn't happen under his nose.

"Well, it's not bad. I got a helicopter for no reason, and I've long coveted the old Polke's helicopter, and I'm really going to enjoy it. ”

Link smirked. While whistling, he entered his office.

As soon as he walked in with his front feet, Old Pock's cry came from outside: "Rabbit cub, I will kill you, my annual salary, my helicopter." ”

"Hmph." Link sat proudly on the leather sofa, and the corners of his mouth were curled and he felt very satisfied: "There are good things that dare not honor the boss?" This is absolutely unbearable. Ha, it will be much more convenient to go out in the future. ”

Then. Fat Jack ran in sweating profusely, and when he saw Link, he gasped and shouted: "Little boss, all the book supermarkets are calling us to urge us to print." The help desk was running out. ”

"Oh?" Link took a sip of coffee lightly and said nonchalantly, "Then add it." ”

"It's as simple as you say." Fat Jack also sat on the sofa, although he looked anxious, but the excitement in his eyes was so obvious.

"The Twilight Searly was all sold out at once. A total of 1,500,000 copies were printed. The day before yesterday, less than 80,000 copies were sold. But yesterday in less than an afternoon, the remaining 1.4 million copies were all sold out. You don't know how crazy those guys are, and the sellers in the book supermarket, all of them are about to offer me as their own father, it's so cool. ”

Link also laughed: "So, we don't have to wait for today's data to be summarized, we can also know the sales data of "Twilight" yesterday?" ”

"Of course." Fat Jack looked heroic: "One word, fire!" ”

Really. It didn't take long for yesterday's sales data to be rolled up. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is sold in 1.55 million copies. Remain firmly at the top of the list.

It's just that the second place has become an unfamiliar name, "Twilight"!

It is like suddenly jumping out of a crack in the stone, from yesterday's obscurity to today's direct ascension to the runner-up, this speed comparable to riding a rocket has made countless people dumbfounded.

In particular, the writers who had received money to write for major newspaper groups were closed one by one for fear of not being recognized on the street.

And more of the great writers who have long recognized the good book "Twilight" are now trembling with excitement one by one.

"For the first time, there is finally a great writer in the United States who can compete with J.K. Rowling. "Twilight" is definitely the best bestseller of this century, what shit "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", waiting to be killed by Link. ”

It's no wonder that those writers are so excited, apparently J.K. Rowling, a queen-level figure, has left a strong psychological shadow on them.

But now, Link has arrived with his "Twilight" kill, and finally vented a bad breath for writers throughout the United States.

Seeing that "Twilight" sold 1.4 million copies in half a day, countless people who saw this book for the first time were all infected by the fantastic scenes in it.

It's just that someone was scolding this book for being rubbish a few days ago? And it's a well-known writer, which makes people angry.

When some readers began to abuse those writers on the Internet, and even the entire writers' circle was affected, many well-known writers couldn't sit still.

Although he could already see that Link was not prepared to fight back with a slap in the face, the invective of those readers alone was enough for them to drink.

As if for the collective honor of the writers' circle, or to relieve the anger of those 'food and clothing parents' who are angry, many very famous writers have begun to stand up and praise Link and his "Twilight".

Even a best-selling author who is famous in the United States publicly praised: "Link's rise is definitely an honor for the entire North American writers' community." A copy of "The Twilight Zone" is the "Bible" of fiction! I have to say that the ending of "Twilight" is a classic in the history of writing.

Without this heartbreaking ending, "Twilight" would have been an excellent fantasy novel. And when that short 100-word ending appears, it's a true classic! Tragedy is always a masterpiece that has been recited from generation to generation.

Link's "Twilight" reminds me of Sharbilia's sharp rhyme. But Shakespeare, as a giant of a generation, is obviously not as expressive as Link does at the end of a novel.

You know what I see at the end of "Twilight" in just 100 words? Not red. Naked meat play, but bloody killing!

That's right, those short 100 words completely destroyed the beautiful picture created in the whole novel!

Bloody and dazzling!

This is the greatness of Link, he did not write any bit of killing scenes, just with such a ruthless ending in the most beautiful moment, it makes people feel a thick bloody atmosphere.

This bloody breath not only creates a stunning masterpiece, but also a most profound means of expression.

I would like to say that what kind of feelings are triggered by the ending of "Twilight" needs to be carefully experienced by everyone, and I am not willing to analyze anything for you.

However, I would say that "Twilight" has become a landmark classic in the history of fiction. It moved me and made me want to study it. ”

America's most outstanding best-selling author is openly publishing such a chapter of admiration for Link, which immediately stunned countless people.

At the same time, more and more people have begun to take a keen interest in the book "Twilight". (To be continued......)
