New York, the largest city in the United States, is often nicknamed the "Big Apple" because it was a new world for immigrants at the beginning of the last century, and there are many opportunities for immigrants, so it is often nicknamed "the big apple", which means "beautiful and delicious, everyone wants to take a bite". In addition, it is also known as the City That Never Sleeps, Gotham Town, the Capital of the World, and the City of Empires.

Located in the north of the East Coast of the United States and southeast of New York, this world-renowned city undoubtedly has a pivotal position in the United States and even in the world, and is the international economic, financial, art, media capital, and the headquarters of the United Nations.

In terms of the Marché du Film, it is also undoubtedly the highest-grossing city of the year in the United States and, of course, the highest in the world.

It's not hard to understand why Lin Yuquan came here when the Kyoto Olympics were in full swing.

Yes, that's right, the city that contributed the most box office in North America is the Big Apple, and it is also the city that contributes the most box office in the world.

The global signing of the new book "Wild Story: Hundred Clans" is also the first stop in New York. Mel held together, but this time Stephanie. Mel voluntarily refused to do so, in her words: Lin's popularity is too terrifying, I don't want to be a foil.

In this regard, whether it is Lin Yuquan, or Paul. Haggis didn't try to persuade Stephanie otherwise. Mel, after all, this new book signing of "Wild Story: Hundred Races" is generally to build momentum for the release of "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes". There's really no need for Mel to be with you.

"I didn't expect that there would be so many more pre-sales of "Wild Legends: Battle of the Hundred Clans" this time."

New York's top Michelin-starred restaurant - Jean? In Geroges, Lin Yuquan savours the food carefully prepared by the world's top chefs. While in a happy mood and Paul. Haggis talked. The words are full of amazement at the pre-sale sales of "Wild Stories: Battle of the Hundred Clans".

"That's normal. "Wild Story: The Rise of the Apes" is the most popular movie in the world today, and the novel is also the best-selling non-series new book in recent years. ”

Paul. Haggis said with a smile on his face, looking not surprised at the pre-sale sales of "Wild Story: Hundred Clans", but in fact, he was completely taken aback when he saw the pre-sale data of "Wild Story: Hundred Races" before.

Last year, when "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", it was entirely relying on Lin Yuquan's own influence that it achieved 36,000 pre-sales in the United States. However, after the official opening of the online reservation channel for "Wild Legends: Battle of the Hundred Clans", in just one hour, the pre-sale data has exceeded 36,000 copies, and the sales have risen rapidly, which makes the staff of Little Bear Publishing House, including him, dance with their hands in shock.

And in the end, the pre-sale sales of "Wild Wild: Clash of Nations" in the United States were fixed at a terrifying 1.21 million copies, which has broken last year's "Harry. Potter and the Deathly Hallows set a national pre-sale sales record in the United States, and I don't know how many novels will never reach this sales.

"It's a pity that "Twilight" has not been released yet, otherwise the pre-sale of "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" this time can be greatly increased." Paul. Haggis couldn't hide his regret. Compared with "Wild Story: Battle of the Hundred Clans", the pre-sale of "Twilight: Dawn" is undoubtedly too inferior. On the basis of last year's 93,000 copies, it has been increased to 227,000 copies, of course, this is already a dream for ordinary novels, and just from the pre-sale sales, it is known that "Breaking Dawn" will inevitably rise sharply on the first day of its release.

"That's true, but I believe that with the release of "Twilight" in the future, the sales of the entire series of novels in "Twilight" will be hot, but the initial sales will be less, and it will not have a big impact. By the way, Paul, have the launches and book signings for Race of Clans and Dawn been scheduled for tomorrow? Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Rest assured, boss, it's all set up." Paul. Haggis said confidently.

"That's good, hey, Paul, how much do you expect "Clash of Clans" and "Breaking Dawn" to sell on the first day tomorrow?" Lin Yuquan asked with a smile in his eyes.

"It's hard to estimate, but it's safe to say that the sales of both novels are absolutely staggering, especially 'Wild Stories: Hundred Clans'." Paul. Haggis laughed.

Although it is enthusiastically pursued by global publishers and can be released globally, in order to cooperate with the new book signing event, "Wild Tales: Hundred Clans" did not choose to do so, but adopted the strategy of simultaneous new book signing and listing sales.

And in Lin Yuquan and Paul. As Haggis talked, countless people across North America couldn't wait for August 15 to come, and they were already looking forward to the release of "Wild Stories: Clash of the Nations" and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn".

In the tormented waiting, the time finally entered August 15th.

As soon as Amazon.com opened the official sales channel for the two novels, it immediately ushered in another crazy online ordering scene, and just like the release of "Harry Potter", more book fans lined up in front of major bookstores across the United States early.

Among them, the book mall where Lin Yuquan held a new book signing in New York today is the craziest, early in the morning, there are already a large number of movie fans and book fans gathered here, the sales of the mall show a trend of short supply, the staff pull out of the warehouse from the warehouse "Wild Story: Hundred Clans", often before the bookshelf, has been carved up by enthusiastic book fans and movie fans, can only return to the warehouse again in a hurry, busy with sweat, and in comparison, the cashier's situation is even more unbearable, Cashier, cashier, cashier, there is no time to catch your breath at all.

And the book fans who bought the book immediately lined up for the signing under the organization of the staff of Little Bear Publishing House.

Because he knew that there were a huge number of book fans who were eager to get autographs, Lin Yuquan and Paul were early on. Haggis arrives at the Book Mall. And his arrival naturally caused a commotion among book fans and movie fans at the scene. "Oh. Kung Fu Lin is here. "Lin, I love you." "Kung Fu Forest!" The deafening cheers and screams came like a tide, especially after Lin Yuquan's smile and wave in response, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

The security personnel at the scene suddenly seemed to be facing a big enemy, but fortunately, the staff of Xiaoxiong Publishing House and the Book Mall had precautions to explain the order to everyone, so although the fans and book fans were emotional, there was no crowding and stampede.

After Lin Yuquan, who knew that movie fans and book fans were waiting hard, greeted the person in charge of the book mall, he immediately picked up the microphone and said with a smile to the book fans in the queue: "Presumably, there should be no one on the scene who doesn't know me." Here, I won't introduce myself, thank you very much for your support for me and "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape"! Without your support, "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" would not have achieved the current box office of 1.7 billion and more than 40 million copies sold, thank you! ”

The scene suddenly burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

"I'm curious if everyone has been to the theater to watch "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Clan", if you haven't seen it, please raise your hand, no? Don't feel embarrassed, okay. It seems that there really isn't, but I actually think so. To be honest, the price of the novel in "Wild Story: Hundred Clans" is much more expensive than the movie ticket price of "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes". Lin Yuquan said with a smile on his face.

"Haha." The fans and bookgoers at the scene laughed out loud, and the retail price of "Wild Stories: Hundred Clans" was $29.99 per copy, which was the same as the previous "Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince are priced at the same price, and even though the average movie ticket price has increased by about 30 cents this year, it's only $7.18, and a copy of Savage: Clash of Clans is enough to watch four movies.

"But that's too bad, if everyone has already seen the movie, then the movie tickets I gave everyone won't be useful, I don't think anyone will lose the movie tickets!" Lin Yuquan pretended to have a headache and said.

"No, it won't." Immediately, there was an almost unanimous roaring answer.

Lin Yuquan showed a smile in his eyes, this was naturally from Du Kefan's handwriting, after learning of Lin Yuquan's determination, he quickly proposed to give movie tickets to book fans and movie fans who bought books after "Wild Tales: Battle for the Hegemony" went on sale.

Although it seems that this is a loss, this part of the book fans must not have watched "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape", and it is difficult to enter the theater to contribute to the box office.

In addition, since you are watching a movie, you usually do not go to the cinema alone, but with your couple, friends or family.

In such a situation, instead of losing money, it is possible to make a small profit, which is equivalent to exchanging box office revenue that does not exist for box office data.

Through the efforts of Summit Entertainment staff, 600,000 movie tickets have been urgently purchased from partner theaters for today's North American release and gifts, and the number of movie tickets will be determined in the next few days based on today's sales.

North America is just the first stop, and the next event will be held in the remaining nine countries as new book signings go on sale.

In this way, it seems that the cost is very high, but in fact, you don't need to pay too much to get fruitful results.

"No, it's fine, in fact, if you're tired of watching "Savage" again, it's okay to exchange it for a Coke or a hamburger in private." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"Haha." Many movie fans and book fans laughed out loud.

"Okay, not much to say, I know everyone is waiting very hard, and then sign the sale immediately, because the number of people who came today is relatively large, so I hope that after everyone gets the signature, consciously give up the position, and the friends behind don't rush to crowd, okay?" Lin Yuquan asked with a smile.

"Okay." The movie fans and book fans in the queue said in unison.

"Thank you all for your support, so let's get started!" Lin Yuquan waved his hand.

"Wow!" Many movie fans and book fans cheered.

At the top of the list is a little girl who is not very old, with a round face and soft facial features, plus short red hair and red red clothes, which looks cute and sweet, although she has been waiting for a long time, but the girl has only excitement and excitement on her face, and after putting one of the two books she was holding in front of Lin Yuquan, she said in a trembling voice: "Lin, my name is Catherine, I like your movie very much, and I also like the novel "Wild Story". ”

"Hello Catherine, thank you for your support, why don't you sign another book for me?" Lin Yuquan looked up at the girl, shook hands with the girl, and chuckled.

"Many of us have bought more than one book, and if we sign every book, it will be a long delay, and many people will not be able to get autographs." Catherine said seriously.

"What a good girl, give me another book!" Lin Yuquan smiled lightly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Shouldn't the first in line have additional rewards?" ”

"Ahh Catherine exclaimed in small surprise, a blush of excitement appeared on her face, and she tried to restrain her excitement: "Is it okay?" ”

"Well, unless you don't want to." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"Oh, thank you!" Catherine said with a smirk, obviously overjoyed.

Lin Yuquan smiled, directly opened the title pages of the two books, wrote blessings on them, and said with a smile when he handed the books to Catherine: "Don't lose your movie tickets!" ”

Catherine smiled brightly: "I will go to the cinema with my friends again to support "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" and defeat "Titanic". He shook his fist as he spoke.

After that, Lin Yuquan shook hands with every movie fan while signing his autograph, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face from beginning to end, his physical strength was far more comparable, although he continued to sign, there was no trace of fatigue between his expressions, which amazed every movie fan in the queue, and it really deserved to be Kung Fu Lin.

And while Lin Yuquan was busy signing sales, Paul. Haggis was not idle, and kept an eye on the sales of "Wild Stories: Clash of the Nations" and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" on the phone.

At the same time, and Paul. In the far east, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan, Zhu Yawen, Xiao Yang, Ning Hao, and many people are difficult to fall asleep with questions such as "I don't know how much sales of "Hundred Races" and "Dawn" can reach.

At noon, Lin Yuquan just ate a hamburger, took a short break for half an hour, and then continued to sign, and this signature lasted until six o'clock in the afternoon.

"Boss, it's not early, we have to go to the airport right away and fly to Paris." Paul. Haggis walked over and said to Lin Yuquan.

"Okay." Lin Yuquan nodded, but saw that there were still a lot of movie fans and book fans who were waiting for autographs after saying hello before, shook his head slightly, got up and picked up the microphone to thank everyone for their support. Haggis and four Cubs Press staff went to JFK International Airport.

"Boss, no problem!" After getting in the car, looking at Lin Yuquan, who was moving his hands and feet, Paul. Haggis said worriedly.

"No problem, it's still far from the intensity of my previous rescue work in the disaster area!" Lin Yuquan chuckled and said, "How is the sales situation today?" ”

"Well, I've counted the current sales, plus the pre-sales, "Wild Days: Hundred Clans" has exceeded 4 million copies, and "Twilight: Breaking Dawn" has also passed 1 million copies." Paul. Haggis couldn't hide his excitement.

"So much." Lin Yuquan was a little surprised.

"Yes, this time it's completely volcanic eruption." Paul. Haggis said with a smile.

"That's right." Lin Yuquan couldn't help but smile happily on his face.

and Paul. Haggis chatted about today's book signing, and it didn't take long to get to the airport.

When he saw Lin Yuquan's G550 car, Paul. Haggis and the four Little Bear staff members were amazed.

"It takes a couple of hours to fly to Paris, and after a while you can rest on board after the plane takes off." Lin Yuquan said to the five.

"Okay, boss." The five replied one after another. (To be continued......)
