256. It's not good to be spicy, it's better to have minced garlic (the first change)
Shaking his head, Wang Yongren walked up to the second floor, and saw a row of "Pacific Rim" on the bookshelf in front of the extracurricular area, with three super mecha standing in front of the deep sea on the cover, and a red Chiyou mecha with Chinese elements standing in the middle.
On the cover of the domestic version, there is a sentence that is different from the foreign version, that is, 'Huaxia mecha leads the team to save the earth'.
The cover of the foreign version is 'The whole world saves the planet together'.
Wang Yongren, who had nothing to do, sat on the couch on the edge of the district for half an hour, and found that one-third of the young people who came to the extracurricular area bought "Pacific Rim", and the situation was not bad.
Among them, most of the young men who buy "Pacific Rim" are, after all, mecha is a boy's lifelong romance.
went out and bought a vanilla latte at a coffee shop that I didn't know what brand it was, and Wang Yongren drove back to the Lotus Community.
During this period, Wang Yongren also received a congratulatory text message from Uncle Li in the provincial capital, and he was honored to reply to one, with a more humble and polite tone.
Another 'Fan Bancheng' called him directly to congratulate, and Wang Yongren chatted with the other party for two minutes, which can be regarded as deepening the connection between them.
"Sister Qi, good evening...... Have a snack, okay, I'll take a taxi. ”
Soon after Wang Yongren, who returned to the room, sat down, he received an invitation from Section Chief Qi for supper, and he was in a good mood and happily went to the appointment.
The first day of the new book is on sale, you need to treat yourself.
Twenty minutes later, I saw Section Chief Qi and Deputy Section Chief Cheng at the barbecue stall on Chengbei Street, dressed in different short skirts and black silk dresses, which made people's eyes shine.
......
At seven o'clock in the morning on the 2nd, Wang Yongren, who was exercising in the gym, received a call from Sister Han.
"Hachette's tally is 85,600, which is not bad. Domestically, 968,800 copies were sold in advance, and 333,800 copies were sold after deducting presales. ”
Listening to this data, Wang Yongren was not too disappointed, and said with a smile: "If the exchange rate is calculated, foreign sales and domestic sales are about the same." ”
Do the math, the domestic royalty of 18.5 points can get 4.6 yuan after tax, while the foreign royalty is 2.8 euros after tax, which is equivalent to 29 yuan of Chinese dollars.
The royalty of a foreign book is worth 6 books in China.
"That's right, you get about the same amount of royalties. Nanyue Film and Television has joined forces with Huachen and Light and Shadow, and is in contact with Paramount and MGM to discuss the production of the film of the same name, with an initial production budget of 80 million US dollars. At present, Paramount, which has not yet had a successful series of films, is more willing. Liu Qianqian's mother, Ms. Liu, is also working hard to promote MGM to participate in the cooperation, and by the way, Liu Qianqian is one of the heroines. ”
After taking a sip of coffee, Han Xiaozhu, who was sitting in the living room at home, continued: "If the film of the same name can reach the initial intention, Hachette promised to invest 2 million euros in publicity resources and 3 million euros in the production of this film. ”
"This is good news, I will go to Hangzhou in the afternoon, and with Su Su, I will invite Sister Xiaozhu to dinner."
I didn't expect Sister Han to be so powerful, and Wang Yongren was very happy to talk about the arrangement of dinner treats.
As for how much money is invested in the film, which film and television companies are co-produced, and whether Liu Qianqian is the heroine or not, he doesn't care.
How much royalties he can earn is what he is most concerned about.
"Okay, then I'll wait."
Knowing that the little handsome guy would definitely not live on his side when he came to Hangzhou today, Han Xiaozhu responded very considerately, and he was already thinking about what clothes to change in the afternoon.
"Dali, help me take a look in the afternoon."
After the workout, Wang Yongren, who returned to the Lotus Community, called Chen Cong and asked him to help cover up in the afternoon class.
Although he had already greeted Director Qiu before, during the new book release period of the past two months, he might skip Friday's class, but he still had to do what he could do on the surface.
"No problem."
received a call from Lao Wang, Chen Cong, who was a roommate, responded without hesitation.
"Ah Ren."
At half past three in the afternoon, Su Qiuyi, who had just come out of the classroom, ran over happily when she saw the junior waiting outside the door and grabbed the other party's arm.
This is the first time that the junior brother has come to pick her up, which makes Su Qiuyi feel very happy.
"Hey, great writer, why do you have to pick up our Su Su today."
Seeing this great writer who is going global, Qin Qingshan joked with a smile.
The rest of the boys in the same major, when they saw this handsome young guy, they had roughly heard of each other's identity, but they only flashed a trace of envy and jealousy in their eyes, and they didn't mutter anything weird.
As graduate students of Jiang University, they are still a little proud.
"I'm going to the capital tomorrow to attend the signing meeting, and I'm going to have dinner with Su Su today."
After answering with a smile, Wang Yongren talked about Sunday's arrangement: "The day after tomorrow is Su Su's birthday, let's invite everyone to have dinner together, I don't know if you are free?" ”
"The great writer invites, we must be free."
Chu Nan, who was a roommate, agreed at the first time, and the other two also nodded again and again.
Although they don't know Su Qiuyi's family background very well, they definitely don't mind being able to get acquainted with this great writer who is going to global publishing.
"On Sunday, I booked a large box in the Jewel Hotel, which can seat fifteen or sixteen people, do you want to call a few more classmates to eat together?"
Sitting in the Porsche's car, Wang Yongren smiled and asked Senior Sister Su beside him.
"Okay, I'll take a look then."
Seeing that the junior attaches so much importance to his birthday, Su Qiuyi is naturally happy, thinking that it is not bad to invite the rest of the female classmates who are familiar with him.
Entering her graduate studies, she has already begun to think about her future after graduation, whether to study at a well-known design institute or start her own design studio.
If it is the latter, Su Qiuyi also needs a lot of like-minded teammates to start a business together, and it is also necessary to have a good relationship with the current graduate students majoring in design.
"Wait a minute, let's go eat grilled fish, do you want to add spicy food?"
Speaking of the dinner arrangement, Wang Yongren asked casually.
"I can eat spicy food, but I'm afraid some people can't stand it at night."
Su Qiuyi, who was in a happy mood, replied with a smile, a pun.
“...... I think it's better not to add spicy, and add more minced garlic, it's about the same. ”
Glancing at Senior Sister Su's thin lips, Wang Yongren thoughtfully made a reasonable choice.
On the 2nd, Hachette Books' sales statistic for Pacific Rim is 86,800 copies, which is a little longer than the first day, which is good news.
Domestic sales fell slightly, but there were 315,000 copies.
As a science fiction book that is sold simultaneously on the shelves around the world, the first stop of the signing of "Pacific Rim" will definitely be in Beijing, followed by Magic City, Pengcheng, Mountain City and Hangzhou.
The book signing is just a small auxiliary means, and if the sales of science fiction want to maintain growth, it must rely on the word of mouth of readers.
"According to the data collected by the staff of the club, the praise rate of the first batch of readers reached 85%, which is a good data."
At half past five on Saturday afternoon, after the half-day signing meeting, Han Xiaozhu said to the handsome little brother who was resting.
