Just as the box office rankings were released, the New York Times also announced the latest issue (July 20-July 26) bestseller list, compared with the previous issue, this issue of the New York Times bestseller list can be described as a big change, half of the top 10 in fiction and non-fiction are new books on the list for the first time.
Among them, in terms of the bestseller list of hardcover novels, Nora Roberts's new book "Black Hole" won the championship for the first time on the list, Nora Roberts is not famous in the world, but in North America is known as the queen of romantic novels, as the most famous and popular female novelist in the United States in the past 20 years, she is the number one best-selling author of the New York Times, and has created more than 200 works. Her novels have sold more than 500 million copies worldwide, an average of 34 copies per minute over the past two decades, and one in three Americans is said to be reading her work.
In second place is also a new book, nothing else, it is "Beautiful Creatures", and in third place is the king of thriller mystery novels, James. Patterson's new book "Swimsuit", which has been on the list for two weeks, has been praised by Time magazine as "the man who never misses", as in the past, "Swimsuit" topped the New York Times bestseller list last week upon its release, and the fourth "Chicken 15" comes from Janet Ivanovic, the queen of suspense novels who has also been entrenched in the highest-paid author's list for many years, "Hot Six", "High Five", "Upper Seven", "Hard Eight", and "Top Nine" are all her masterpieces.
In fifth and sixth place are all new books, and in fifth place is Gregor Ares's new book "The Devil's Sweet Wine Vat". In sixth place is "The Story of Edgar", followed by Brad. Saul's second week on the list of "Apostles", Linda. Howard's first week on the list was "Burned". James. Rollins was on the list for three weeks on "The End of the World" and Katherine Stockett was on the list for fifteen weeks on "The Help."
As a result, for the third year in a row, Little Bear Press has made it to the New York Times bestseller list immediately after the release of two works, and internal statistics show that the two have sold 41,200 copies and 25,400 copies respectively in the past week, although this figure is much lower than the same non-series sequel "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", but Little Bear Press has enough reason to be excited, after all, "Beautiful Creatures" author Cami . Garcia, Margaret. Stoll and the author of The Edgar's Tales, Dave. Froblewski is a newcomer author. There is no accumulation of popularity at all.
Leaving aside the super-best-selling sequels and popular author novels, book sales are generally long-term sales, and both have achieved such excellent results from the start. It is not difficult to know what the future sales prospects will be extraordinary driven by good reputation and their own quality.
This also caused many media to exclaim, even if there is no new book by Lin Yuquan this year, Stephanie. Mel's "Twilight" is over again. But according to current trends. Little Bear Press continues to be a significant force in the annual publishing world.
A publishing company is even more enviable, not so much the luck of the bear publishing house, but the presence of Lin Yuquan and Stephanie. Mel is different, and with the influence of the two, Little Bear Publishing is clearly very attractive to many new authors.
When the New York Times bestseller list was released, Lin Yuquan had already arrived in Paris, France, where he started the filming of four overseas stops of "Twelve Treasures".
Because I intended to visit the class of "The Voice of China", I participated in the recording of the first session of the tutor assessment. Shen Yuan urgently revised the filming schedule of "Twelve Treasures" and followed the changed shooting schedule. The filming of Zhejiang cuisine and Fujian cuisine will be completed in Shaoxing and Fuzhou, and then in Sydney, Australia, and Istanbul, Turkey, and finally the filming of "Twelve Treasures" will be completed.
"Wow, is this the Silver Tower? From the outside, it looks very unremarkable. ”
Opposite Notre Dame Cathedral on the right bank of the Seine, outside a French neoclassical building, looking up at the building's Christine. Stewart said excitedly that she was the celebrity guest invited to participate in the filming of "Twelve Treasures" in Paris.
"Yes, this is the Silver Tower Restaurant, although it is not so eye-catching on the outside, but it is unique on the inside." French actress and Oscar-winning actress Marion. Cotillard smiled, except for Christine. In addition to Stewart, Lin Yuquan also specially invited her as a guest.
Lin Yuquan is full of smiles, the content of each episode of "Twelve Treasures" can be said to be fixed, he and the celebrity guests first go to the local restaurants or food streets with food to enjoy the special food, roughly controlled in two to three places, and then choose a food that he and the celebrity guests feel most satisfied with from the food tasted to learn to cook.
As an international metropolis, Paris, France, naturally has countless delicacies, and the reason why the Silver Tower Restaurant was chosen as the filming location is obviously for a special reason, not anything else, just because the Silver Tower Restaurant is really a very special restaurant, just a 4 century standing, dedicated to presenting traditional French cuisine, enough to attract diners from all over the world to come here to experience a culinary journey between classical and modern.
In addition, the 18 ways to cook duck and the church-like wine cellar at the Silver Tower Restaurant are so charming that they have attracted Edward VII, Charlie Chaplin, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisen. Howell, Kennedy and many other powerful people, celebrities, celebrities and celebrities came to feast.
As a result, even though the restaurant needs to be booked a week in advance, even though the average cost of dinner is more than 550 euros per person, there is still a steady stream of customers.
"Let's go inside, I can't wait to eat." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Yes, so do I." Well-dressed Christine. Stuart smiled sweetly.
As soon as you enter the gate of the building, you will be greeted by an old gentleman-like waiter, and the Yinta Restaurant has special dress requirements for the relatively ordinary restaurant. Guests must wear formal attire, but due to the communication with the restaurant in advance, the production team of "Twelve Treasures" entered the restaurant without hindrance.
It is a famous restaurant that has hosted countless dignitaries. On the way to the elevator, the waiter politely introduced the postcards, messages, and duck numbers of the royals, presidents, and prominent figures in various fields on display in the corridor.
Take the 19th-century iron fenced elevator to the main restaurant on the 6th floor, and exit the restaurant. The splendid decoration of the 16th-century palace and the view of the Seine from the window immediately come into view.
Kristen. Stewart cheered and ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows, spreading his arms and reveling in the view of the Seine. Lin Yuquan and Marion. Cotillard smiled at each other and walked over to Christine. Stewart's location.
After some shooting, the three of them sat down in their seats, and the waiter in a white bow tie came to the table with a wine list of more than 400 pages and weighing 8 kilograms.
"What kind of wine do you want to drink?" Lin Yuquan asked with a smile.
"I want a glass of mulled wine." Marion. Cotillard laughed.
"A glass of champagne." Kristen. Stewart Road.
"I said you don't have to save for me. How can you come to the Silver Tower Restaurant without drinking a good bottle of wine? Lin Yuquan chuckled. A temple for wine lovers, the Silver Tower Restaurant has a cellar of 400,000 bottles, a quarter of which are more than 20 years old, from the freshest Bojolais nouvelles to 18th-century cognacs and dessert wines...... Then to the DRC in 1874 Romani. Kanti, Chateau d'Yguem in 1871, has it all.
"Okay, you took the initiative to ask us. It's not us who slaughter you! "Marion. Cotillard smiled, turned to the waiter, and said, "What famous wines do you have here?" ”
"Lafite in 1970, 1982. Cheval White in 1928, 1947, Margaux in 1970, Romané in 1874, 1977, 1990, 2001. Kanti," the waiter said skillfully.
"Do you want to drink a bottle of '82-year-old Lafite?" Marion. Cotillard asked, she didn't know much about wine, and chose Lafite '82 because of her fame.
"Christine, what do you think?" Lin Yuquan looked at Christine. Stewart.
"Don't ask me, I don't know, you just decide." Kristen. Stewart shook his head.
"Well, '82 Lafite is too common, why don't we drink a bottle of ClosGriffer Café Anglais cognac from 1788, didn't we hear the introduction? This is the oldest wine in the Silver Tower Restaurant, and it is rare to visit the Silver Tower Restaurant once, so you should naturally have a special experience. Lin Yuquan smiled.
"How much?" Marion. Cotillard looked at the waiter.
"21,000 euros." The waiter said.
"Oh my God, how much is Lafite in '82?" Marion. Cotillard couldn't help but exclaim.
Kristen. Stewart's eyes widened as well, and although she now makes a movie that costs as little as a few million dollars, and more than $10 million for a sequel to "The Twilight Zone", the cost of more than 20,000 euros for a bottle of wine is undoubtedly still extremely staggering.
"2900 euros." The waiter said.
"Oh my God!" Marion. Cotillard exclaimed again that Lafite in '82 had always been the object of everyone's attention, but compared to the Clos Griffer Café Anglais cognac in 1788, Lafite in '82 was simply ashamed of himself.
"It's too expensive, I think '82 Lafite is too common, you can change the bottle for something else." Marion. Cotillard continued.
"No, aren't you curious about what such a bottle of wine tastes like? I'm very curious anyway. Lin Yuquan chuckled, he is not a person of extravagance, but he will never wronged himself, the opportunity is rare, since he is interested, of course he will make a move when he should act.
Marion. Cotillard and Christine. Stewart suddenly looked impressed.
Nothing surprisingly, the 1788 Clos Griffer Café Anglais cognac was settled, and the trio quickly ordered the food.
Compared to ordinary restaurants, the special roast duck at Silver Tower undoubtedly goes to great length, and it doesn't take long for the sky-high price of cognac and appetizers to be served.
It turns out that the three of them are not wine lovers, and the sky-high price of cognac does not bring a wonderful taste, and when the special duck blood sauce roast duck breast is served on the table, after putting a piece of duck breast in his mouth and chewing, Lin Yuquan's eyes immediately lit up, and he instantly made a decision in his heart, this time the dish he learned to cook in Paris is it.
