The recruitment of actors for a TV series and two movies is in full swing, the listing of the physical book of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the creation of Jay Sun's new album, and the release of new martial arts novels, these three things are suddenly piled up on Stephen Zhao's desk.

In comparison, the listing of the physical book of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is relatively easy, and he doesn't even need to hold a new book launch, all the work can be completed by Silian Publishing House.

Thanks to the forty-day update serialization on the Internet, the news of the adaptation of film and television dramas has come out, and the popularity and influence of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" have reached an unprecedented height, and the market is also full of expectations for the listing of the physical book of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".

In this case, all Stephen Zhao can do is pay attention at any time.

On May 1st, the physical book of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was officially put on sale.

On the same day, many media reported on it, singing praises on the one hand, and none of the media dared to say that Stephen Zhao would hit the street at this time, or sneer or something, because they are not fools. At this time, he and Zhao Xingchi are bullish, which is no different from looking for abuse.

On May 2nd, the first-day sales results of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" were announced: 1.2 million copies!

This is breaking news because it's an unprecedented one-day sales result!

When this result was announced, even though the society expected the big sale of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", it was still shocked three times, and looked at this data in a daze.

The first day sold 1.2 million copies, which may not be a big deal abroad, for example, on the side of the United States, the average bestseller can reach this result; But. Don't forget that this achievement was created in the mainland of China, which is extraordinary and shocking.

Everyone knows that the mainland of China is a paradise for piracy, piracy is rampant, and people are keen to buy cheap pirated copies when the price difference is huge. It is very rare to consciously buy the genuine copy.

Not to mention, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has previously published all the content for free on the official website of Silian Publishing House.

In such a harsh environment, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" still created a sales volume of 1.2 million copies on the first day, how can it not be shocking?

"I'll go, this Zhao Xingchi is going against the sky!" Many people said in amazement.

"It's so strong! For Mao, this achievement is not mine, what about it? "Many people in the industry are red-eyed and thick-necked, and they are so jealous that their mouths are dry.

"Zhao Xingchi, this madman!" Many media outlets scolded in amazement.

Southern Weekly, Star Weekly, and other newspapers and magazines that often oppose Stephen Zhao fell silent, and their editors-in-chief and reporters looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

Day 3. The next day's sales of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" were counted, and although it was slightly lower than the first day, it still sold more than 900,000 copies.

On the third day, sales fell again, only half of the 600,000 copies on the first day, but it is still an achievement that most writers in China should envy and look up to.

On the fourth day, sales fell sharply again, but they still sold more than 100,000 copies.

On the fifth day, 50,000 copies.

Day 6. 30,000 copies.

Day 7, 30,000 copies.

Day 8. 8,000 copies.

Day 9, 5,000 volumes.

……

Every day after the ninth day, the sales volume of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was around 5,000 copies, and it was not until half a month later that the sales volume dropped to dozens or one or two hundred copies.

Such a sales curve is normal. But for Stephen Zhao and Silian Press, this is undoubtedly a surprise.

Summing up the sales data for the first 7 days, it is clear that there are more than 2.91 million copies!

Selling nearly 3 million copies in 7 days, it would be a surprise to any writer or publisher.

Although it is still far from breaking 10 million copies. However, under the long stream, the sales volume of the mainland can exceed 4 million within this year, plus the two regions of Xiangjiang and Mazu Island, Asian countries such as Wa and Malay, European and American countries, I believe that the sales volume of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will exceed 10 million just around the corner.

Although European and American countries are dominated by foreigners and have great cultural differences, there are still many Chinese in Europe and the United States, so Chinese novels like "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can still be shipped for sale. Look at the singers who go abroad to hold concerts and the artists who hold various types of talk shows in the entertainment industry, they are often known as global tours, but in fact, the main audience is the Chinese in these countries.

In addition, many foreigners also like to read Chinese martial arts novels like "Smiling Proud Jianghu", after all, "Kung Fu" is their deepest impression of China, and some are still martial arts enthusiasts.

However, due to the problem of translation, even "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is still only a translation of the Japanese language, ready to land in the Japanese market, and the English is still working hard, so the various translations of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" still have to wait.

Now, Qian Minli is working on the overseas publication of these novels, and has even flown several times to the Japanese kingdom because of this.

In comparison, the overseas publication of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "Three Kingdoms" is much weaker, after all, it is a historical novel, and not many people abroad like it. It must also be said that in the process of translating a novel, it often loses a lot of charm, which can easily lead to the foreign language versions of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" and "Three Kingdoms" losing the interest of the Chinese version and becoming boring. Except for those who like to study Chinese history, it is estimated that not many people will buy this kind of novel to read at home, so the translation of these two novels is not mentioned, and the simplified and traditional Chinese versions are sold to Asian countries and regions.

……

The affairs of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in China came to an end, and Stephen Zhao then contacted Jay Sun.

After nearly a month of grinding, Stephen Zhao "finally" tailored ten original Chinese-style songs for Jay Sun.

Rao is so, when Jay Sun heard the news, Jay Sun was still surprised, and then exclaimed: "Mr. Zhao, you are really the most sinister person I have ever seen!" ”

"I'm ashamed." Zhao Xingchi said with an unchanged smile.

Jay Sun wants ten original Chinese-style songs, as long as Stephen Zhao wants to, he can take them out at any time. The reason why it dragged on for nearly a month was that Stephen Zhao just wanted to hide from others. Don't let yourself look too wicked.

"I don't know if Mr. Zhao has any good words to fill in the song last time?" Jay Sun asked while taking the music sheet handed to him by Stephen Zhao.

Zhao Xingchi shook his head: "No." ”

Jay Sun, who couldn't wait to enjoy the score, was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at him, and said regretfully: "That's a pity." ”

Jay Sun still hopes that Stephen Zhao can help him fill in the lyrics of that tune, after all, the tune is a good tune. And it's his brainchild.

But since Zhao Xingchi had no choice, he had no choice but to die, thinking that it would be better to study it slowly.

Ten songs, all of which should be Chinese style.

For Jay Sun, for his royal lyricist Tian Qiwen, it is not something that can be taken out in a short period of time, and even in the nearly two years after "Dongfeng Break" was obtained, they did not make excellent songs.

In less than a month, Stephen Zhao confidently said that it was done. This made Jay Sun happy and surprised, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel deeply suspicious.

However, when Jay Sun saw the first song, Jay Sun was ashamed of his doubts.

Blue and White Porcelain

The plain embryo outlines the blue and white strokes,

The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup.

Ran Ran Sandalwood through the window I know,

The pen on the rice paper is now halfway aside.

……

Azure is waiting for the smoke and rain, and I'm waiting for you

……”

Wash all the lead, simple and elegant, fresh and smooth, a song of blue and white porcelain. A smoky Jiangnan ink painting, a hundred turns and thousands of times around the fingers.

Just look at the lyrics. It's already obsessive.

Looking at the tune again, the guzheng is plucked, the tooth plate is crisp, and the pipa is murmuring, which has both the classical beauty of China and the modern R&P elements. It can be called a masterpiece of the world.

Jay Sun suddenly raised his head and looked at Stephen Zhao, his eyes were full of incredulity, this lyric is amazing! This song is amazing! Stephen Zhao is absolutely amazing!

"You...... You...... How so? How can it be so good? Jay Sun was a little depressed.

Jay Sun couldn't believe that this was actually a song created by Stephen Zhao in less than a month. With his professionalism, it is not difficult for him to see. If this song is sung, it will definitely be popular in the entire Chinese world, and it is destined to be a classic masterpiece that makes countless people crazy.

Amazing!

In addition to being amazing, Jay Sun can't find any words to describe this "Blue and White Porcelain"!

Stephen Zhao didn't speak, only smiled gently.

I don't know how long it took for Jay Sun to come back to his senses and say with a slightly bitter smile: "Mr. Zhao, this song is really ...... It really shocked me, I can't believe that such a peerless song could be created for me by Mr. Zhao, I really ...... Thank you! ”

Finally, Sun concluded solemnly thanking Zhao Xingchi, the sincerity of this cooperation is too precious, so precious that he is a little afraid to accept it.

Jay Sun knows that if anyone can sing this "Blue and White Porcelain", he can become popular. Even if he is the king of Asia, this "blue and white porcelain" still has a huge help to him, in addition to consolidating his status as the king, he can also add a halo of "opening a faction" to the crown of "Asian king".

Of course, part of the reason for such a solemn thank you is because of Stephen Zhao's identity and status.

If the creator of "Blue and White Porcelain" was an ordinary person, or a second- or third-rate musician, Jay Sun would definitely not be so formally grateful, because it was unnecessary, and the other party couldn't afford it.

"Win-win cooperation! Win-win cooperation! Stephen Zhao smiled heartily.

"Blue and White Porcelain" is an amazing classic song, but it is better to be sung by a second- or third-tier singer than sung by an Asian king, which can quickly expand the fame and influence of "Blue and White Porcelain", and can also bless "Blue and White Porcelain" to a certain extent.

For example, "Legend", if it wasn't sung by the princess in the previous life, how many people would know this song?

Therefore, a good song depends on who sings it.

There is no doubt that it is more appropriate for "Blue and White Porcelain" to be sung by Jay Sun, the king of Asia.

In the afternoon of the same day, Jay Sun officially moved into the Star Music Recording Studio and began to record a new album, with Stephen Zhao supervising on the side.

It was also at this time that Stephen Zhao's new martial arts novel finally landed on the crooked literature network...... (To be continued......)
