and Stephanie. After Mel finished the phone call, Lin Yuquan texted his friends one by one to inform them that everyone knew that his new book was on sale in the United States today, so they were very concerned, and they had been sending text messages or phone calls since noon to ask about the sales of his novels, and he also promised to reply as soon as he knew the results.

In the end, he dialed Liu Shishi's phone, and now it is more than two o'clock in the afternoon in Kyoto, and the two can have a good chat.

"Ah, Yuquan, is it the first day of your novel's sales to come out?" As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Shishi's crisp voice came from the phone.

"Well, just came out." Lin Yuquan leaned on the balcony and looked at the brilliant night lights under the mountain.

"How much!" Liu Shishi hurriedly asked curiously.

"Guess?" A smile tugged at the corner of Lin Yuquan's mouth.

Lin Yuquan smiled: "Smart, you can see this, okay, I'll just say it directly, plus the 30,000 pre-sales, a total of 71,000 copies were sold on the first day." ”

"Ah, so much." Liu Shishi couldn't hide his surprise: "It seems that your fans are very supportive of you!" I wonder how many sales "Wild Savage" can reach in the end? It would be terrifying to maintain such sales for a long time. ”

"What do you think? Where is it so easy, it is estimated that the sales will not be too high for a long time to come. Lin Yuquan shook his head, generally speaking, celebrities publish books mainly in the early stage. It's the fan economy that sells. Out of faith in "Wild Stories". What he values is the long-term effect, in addition to fans in the early stage, there will be a lot of people waiting and seeing, only after the wait-and-see period, with the help of the good word-of-mouth effect of "Wild Story", then it is the time for sales to skyrocket.

"Heh, anyway, I have confidence in you, and I have confidence in your "Savage". How can such a wonderful novel not sell well. Liu Shishi said with a smile.

"It seems that I have to work harder on the signing, or I will live up to your confidence in me." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"It's good to know, by the way, I was about to call you, I received a call from my agent at noon, saying that the company will open a new play, and the heroine is mainly selected from the artists of our Yuquan family, if nothing else, I should be one of them, did you arrange this matter?". Liu Shishi asked in an unkind tone. Like a volcano about to erupt.

"Of course not, if you don't say. I don't know about this yet, are you sure the company is going to start a new show? I'll call and ask later! Lin Yuquan smiled in his eyes and then said.

"You really don't know? How can it be. Liu Shishi said incredulously.

"Do I have to know? You know that I'm in the United States right now, and I've been busy, and I've let them handle the general affairs of the country by themselves. Lin Yuquan said quietly, of course he couldn't not know that the planning and implementation were done by Ding Zhi and Qiu Qingyi, but it was he who made the final decision, and without his approval, it was impossible for the film and television project to start.

Previously, Qiu Qingyi and others had been planning a new drama, and after Lin Yuquan confessed, they quickly determined the film and television drama to be filmed, "Liao Zhai Qi Woman", this film and television drama brings together the stories of several legendary women in "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", including "Chivalrous Girl", "Geng Niang", "Xiao Cui", "Xin Shi Shi Niang", "Liancheng" five chapters, telling five poignant and moving fantasy love stories.

Liu Shishi is scheduled to play one of them, Xin Shi Niang, the setting of this role is kind-hearted, intelligent and cheerful, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, which is very suitable for Liu Shishi's temperament, and it is not difficult to play brilliantly.

Speaking of which, this drama is indeed a good choice, not only can take care of Liu Shishi, but the most in the Yuquan family are young actors and actresses, Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin and others can basically get roles, and such dramas have always been very popular with the audience.

"It's better if it's not you, if you let me know you did it, huh." Liu Shishi snorted.

"I know, you have to rely on your own strength, of course I believe you, just now you said that you are one of them, are there many heroines in this play? If that's the case, isn't it normal to choose you? There are not many young actresses in our Rain Spring family. Lin Yuquan smiled.

"It's better because of this, if I need your help, I'll tell you, before that, I want to try to work on my own, okay, my mother is at home, it's not good to be heard by her."

“ok。”

In the early morning at the end of August, the wind was gentle and the air was fresh, when the sun sprinkled on his face, Lin Yuquan also woke up naturally, stretched comfortably, got up and came to the balcony, closed his eyes slightly, looked up, let the golden sunlight of the early morning sprinkle on his face, only felt warm and indescribably comfortable.

After enjoying the sunshine for a while, Lin Yuquan dressed, washed up briefly, came to the back garden, faced the blowing breeze and the early morning scenery of Los Angeles in the distance, and then simply made breakfast, and drove out with his suitcase after washing.

Follow the itinerary today with Stephanie. Mel and the others will go to New York, go shopping and rest in the afternoon and evening, and then sign the new book in New York tomorrow, and sign the new book in Chicago the day after tomorrow. Mel will hold book signings in Philadelphia, Phoenix, Dallas, and Houston.

"Good morning, Christina! Good morning, Jordan! When he was driving to the bottom of the mountain, Lin Yuquan caught up with Christina, who was also going out. Aguilera and Jordan. Bratman slowed down and greeted the two with a smile.

"Good morning, Lin, by the way, yesterday was the release of your novel, how is the sales?" Drive Jordan. Blatman smiled and nodded, and Christina on the side. Aguilera asked curiously with a smile on her face.

"71,000 copies, barely okay!" Lin Yuquan smiled.

"Oh my God, 71,000 copies. And that's just the way it goes. Your demands are really high enough. When I publish a book, I'll be happy to have such sales. "Christina. Aguilera said with an exaggerated smile.

"Really? I'm looking forward to it, but I think it's better for you to continue to do a world tour than to publish a book, and your "BacktoBasics" world tour opened in the first half of this year with 55 performances, isn't it the runner-up position in the box office list of the world tour in the first half of this year? This is really amazing! You can make a lot more money than you can publish a book. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Come on, you think the world tour is so easy to do, there are so many factors involved. For example, it takes time for fans to digest, it needs to be carefully prepared at least one or two years in advance, and it will be separated from the release of an album, which is a test for the singer's body, mind and body, and it has been 10 years since my debut, and I have only held my third world tour so far, and I don't know when it will be next time, anyway, it is impossible in the short term. "Christina. Aguilera said angrily.

"Oh, well, it's me who doesn't know enough about it. Where are you going today? Lin Yuquan said apologetically.

"When I went to Real Madrid in Spain, my world tour ended with a few more shows. There will be one at Real Madrid tomorrow night, so I will fly over today to prepare. "Christina. Aguilera said patiently.

"Then you're going to the airport, just along the way, and so am I." Lin Yuquan smiled.

"Oh, where are you going?" Christina. Aguilera asked.

"New York." Lin Yuquan's words drifted through the air.

Since they were driving, the two didn't talk much and just went to the airport together.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel's new book signing yesterday also became the focus of major media coverage this morning, and made many front-page headlines.

Widely recognized as the most authoritative New York Times bestseller list, The New York Times' weekly count jù gets sales reports from nearly 4,000 bookstores and a wealth of information about retailers from wholesalers, including gift shops, newsstands, and supermarkets, and is arguably the most accurate outside of the publishers themselves.

Thanks to Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. The New York Times took Mel's new book release into the national spotlight, and the New York Times took it painstakingly to track the first-day sales of "Wild Stories" and "Lunar Eclipse," and reported them fully in the newspaper on August 29.

The headline in the entertainment section of the New York Times was "Signings are booming, 'Savage' and 'Lunar Eclipse' set staggering first-day sales." In the report, it was mentioned: "The high-profile Kung Fu Lin and Stephanie. Mel's new books "Wild Stories" and "Lunar Eclipse" were officially released yesterday, and the two also appeared together at the Carmeyer Book Mall in Los Angeles for a new book signing, which was a hot scene, with nearly 2,000 people participating. According to the figures provided by the Kameyer Book Mall, the first novel written by Kung Fu Lin, "The Wild Story", was sold out in the morning, and during the signing period, a total of 8,100 copies were sold, and by 8:30 p.m., the book mall closed for business, with a total of 8,344 copies sold. by Stephanie. Mel's "Twilight" series, "Lunar Eclipse," was also well received by fans, selling a total of 4,100 copies during the book signing, and by 8:30 p.m., the book store had closed for a total of 4,356 copies.

The first day of release of the two novels is even more staggering, as the third installment in the series, "Eclipse" once again broke the sales of "Twilight" and "New Moon", and the first printing of "Lunar Eclipse" pre-sale plus first-day sales exceeded 150,000 copies on the first day of release alone, replacing the top spot on the bestseller list of "Harry Potter and Dead Saints".

Kung Fu Lin's "Wild Story" also sold extraordinarily, although this is the first novel he has written, but the novel has been enthusiastically sought after by Kung Fu Lin fans, and its first printing of 1 million copies has reached more than 6-70,000 on the first day of its release, and "Harry Potter and the Dead Saints" has moved down one place in the bestseller list. ”

Not only that, the New York Times book review section also commented on two novels, among which "Lunar Eclipse" was commented on "the emotional entanglements that are almost parting, the twists and turns of the adventure, the magnificent and bizarre extraordinary imagination, the vivid descriptions of scenes, the thrilling pleasure of reading, and the warmth and comfort that hit the heart." This is a masterpiece that has reached the extreme of a romance novel. No doubt. Stephanie. Mel has maintained her usual level of creativity, if not surpassed. ”

Compared with "Lunar Eclipse", the New York Times review of "Savage" for the first time is more detailed, which states: "This novel can't help but remind us of George. R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" and J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" are novels in which Kung Fu Lin tells us a grandiose and magnificent story with stunning narrative techniques and scene descriptions, vivid characters, deep and delicately described ancient fantasy worlds, complex plots, and beautiful words. Perfectly combined.

And while you're still tired of the thrilling plot of Savage Story, it's already coming to an end, and the thought of having to wait a long time for Kung Fu Lin's next book is going to be tormented to death by the gripping plot of the book, but either way, it's the most amazing new book of the year so far.

It's hard to imagine Kung Fu Lin bringing us such a masterpiece in his first novel, but there are geniuses in this world, just like Stephanie. Mel, J.K. Rowling, Christopher. Paulini, there is no doubt that Kung Fu Lin is such a genius. Tolkien is dead, in what is now the realm of fantasy. Not only George. R.R. Martin, and Kung Fu Lin. ”

Not only the New York Times bestseller list, but on this day, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, Lunar Eclipse and Wild Stories almost topped the top two book lists in the United States.

And major newspapers have also praised the two novels, especially "The Wild Story", as the first novel written by Lin Yuquan, the major media and book critics have almost placed its evaluation in a prominent position.

"Wild Tales invites us all to a rare gathering of fantasy that brings to life an ancient world that is both romantic and cruel." New York Daily News.

"A fantasy novel that can't be put down when you pick it up, Lin shows us the real world that makes the blood boil, and my eyes fall out." Chicago Sun.

"Although this is a world full of beasts without human beings, I have no sense of disobedience when I read it, but I am addicted to it and cannot extricate myself." Cox commented.

Although this novel is more of a fantasy epic for adults, with Lin's influence, perhaps this novel will resemble J.K. Rowling's Harry. Potter series, Christopher. Like Bolini's "Eraon" and "The Elder" and Stephanie Mayer's "Twilight" series, they have won the hearts and minds of teenagers. USA Today.

"Well, I'm already looking forward to the movie version of this novel, and I hope that Kung Fu Lin can use images to bring us a shocking experience beyond words." Film critic Adri. Zees.

"Boss, you're here!" Inside the airport, Paul. Haggis said energetically, his face did not have the fatigue of being busy until late yesterday, and some were just excited, and when he saw Christina who walked in with Lin Yuquan. Aguilera and Jordan. After Bratman, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and then he smiled: "Hello, Miss Aguilera! ”

Lin Yuquan then introduced next to him: "Paul, this is Christina's husband Jordan. Brattman, they also live in Beverly Hills, we met on the road, and they happened to be coming to the airport, Christina, Jordan, this is Paul, the general manager of my Cub Press. Haggis. ”

"Hello, Mr. Jordan!" "Hello, Mr. Haggis!" "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Haggis!"

After saying hello, Paul. Haggis handed the two newspapers to Lin Yuquan: "Boss, you haven't read the newspapers published today, USA Today and the New York Times have very high evaluations of "Wild Story", I think there must be many people who will find it very incredible now, because no one would have thought that your first novel would be so wonderful, boss." ”

"Perhaps, who knows, Stephanie has arrived?". Lin Yuquan said casually.

"Not yet." Paul. Haggis replied.

"Oh." Lin Yuquan nodded, and then with Christina. Aguilera and the others were chatting while waiting for Stephanie. Mel.

And at this time there are countless families across the United States. Countless offices. People are eating breakfast or drinking coffee, reading the newspaper that came out today. Naturally, reports about "The Wild Story" and "Lunar Eclipse" also jumped into everyone's eyes, and then all kinds of feelings and thoughts filled people's mouths, hearts, and minds.

"Oh, the sales of "Lunar Eclipse" are so terrifying, 150,000 copies, which is a great achievement, but what shocked me even more was that Kung Fu Lin's "Wild Story" also sold so high." "It's not surprising that the number of fans in Kung Fu Lin is very exaggerated. As long as there is a small group of people willing to support him, the sales of this novel in the end will be quite impressive. "There is no doubt that Kung Fu Lin is such a genius, Tolkien is dead, and in today's fantasy field, there is not only George. R.R. Martin, and Kung Fu Lin, oh, that's an exaggeration! "Is it really so good-looking, do you want to buy this book and take a look?" No, let's wait! "These media just like to be sensational. Anyway, I don't believe it's so good-looking. ”

Of course, it was not the people who read the newspaper that touched this the most, but the fans of Lin Yuquan who pre-sold and bought "The Wild Story" yesterday and the people who bought it because of other factors, although a large part of them were not really interested in "The Wild Story", but after everyone bought "The Wild Story", they still opened the novel with various psychology for the first time, and then they couldn't extricate themselves.

"Hey, Jessica, why do you look so tired and don't have a rest, okay? And Cheryl, you too, what did you all do last night? "No, I've been watching 'Savage' all night." "Ah, me too, I can't stop just looking at it." ""Savage, are you talking about the novel of Kung Fu Lin? Is it that pretty? ”。“ Of course. Jessica. Bell and Cheryl. Buzz said in unison, "Lucia, you should also buy this book and take a look, if you don't read it, you will definitely regret it." ”

"Erik, what are you doing? Come on, I've just written a new song, it's great, you can come and help me check it out. "Oh, no, I'm going to sleep." "Sleep, it's ten o'clock in the morning, haven't you woken up yet?" Well, I stayed up late last night watching "Wild Stories", and it was so good. "Oh, you're talking about the first novel written by Kung Fu Lin!" "Well, it's very exciting, completely unexpected, I was just going to support Lin." "It's such an exaggeration, lend me a look." "No, it's up to you to buy it, and you can also support Lin." "Please, don't be so cruel? Borrow it from me first, if it's really exciting, I'll definitely buy it for collection. "Oh, okay then, come and get it yourself, I'm so sleepy right now."

And the same scene also happened in many places, and with the passage of time, more and more, the direct impact is reflected in the sales of "Wild Story", 21000, 27000, 29000, 31000, 36000, after Lin Yuquan signed it from New York and Chicago, and soon, the sales of "Wild Story" listed on Tuesday ended in the first week, and the sales were increasing every day. All the staff at Mel and Little Bear were immediately surprised, and the final week's sales shocked everyone who knew the details, 215,000 copies, which is a terrible number.

Such terrible even more than Stephanie. The horrific 331,000 copies of Mel's "Lunar Eclipse" are even more terrifying, Stephanie. Mel has amassed a large number of fans of the "Twilight" series with "Twilight" and "New Moon", and Lin Yuquan, this is only his first novel, which is his first shot, just like the fashion design, in addition to his job as a director.

In the New York Times report on "Lunar Eclipse" and "Savage Story", it is written: "It is very appropriate to use a book to describe the birth of Kung Fu Lin's "Wild Story", and since then, there has been another brilliant master in the field of fantasy epics, such a wonderful novel, what are you waiting for?" ”

Well, even the editors of the New York Times were fascinated by it.

At this time, Lin Yuquan entered the final stage before the filming of "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race". (To be continued......) R1071
