540. Barely 8 million euros a day
Almost in a short period of time, websites and major cities around the world were flooded with advertisements for "Light Years Away".
Hachette Books' ability to publicize is vividly displayed at this moment. Although the publicity time is only four days, the scope of the publicity and the people covered have basically included young people in large cities in important countries.
At the same time, the song of the same name of "Light Years Away", the Chinese version of Deng Ziqi and the English version of Britney Spears, were launched on major music websites around the world, and hit the top of the new song chart like a dragon.
In addition to the ability to use money behind Hachette, Paramount, Huaxia's Light and Shadow, and Nanyue film and television companies also announced the purchase of the film and television adaptation rights of "Lightyear Away" for $6 million, and recently started film shooting, as well as the establishment of the crew of "Pacific Rim 2".
For a while, sci-fi fans responded en masse, pushing this wave of publicity to a peak on Valentine's Day.
Before the official release on Valentine's Day, Hachette also distributed millions of copies to distributors in major cities and implemented them on the shelves of every bookstore, ensuring that sales on the first day would not be reduced due to out-of-stock.
On February 14, Hachette's statistics showed that a total of 1.8 million copies of "Lightyear Away" were sold worldwide, excluding China.
"Not bad." Wang Yongren, who was having breakfast at a private estate the next day, was very satisfied when he heard this data.
According to this figure, he can earn more than 5 million euros in royalties in a day. In addition, the first-day sales in Huaxia also had 400,000 yuan, and there were nearly 2 million Chinese yuan in royalties.
Simply calculated, he had an income of at least 52 million yuan yesterday, and it shouldn't be too bad today, that is, a small goal for two days.
"Wang, why is the news so happy?" Noticing the expression on the face of the handsome man in China, the radiant Annabelle asked with a smile.
"Light Years Away sold more than 2 million copies on its first day, and I won't lose my royalties this month." In front of the little princess of the Porsche family, Wang Yongren did not hide his pursuit of wealth at all.
He earns royalties with his own hands, so what is there to be embarrassed about.
"That's great news, and I wish you the best of luck with your new book!" Hearing the handsome man's answer, Annabelle, who admired the other party's unpretentious gesture, raised the milk in her hand and blessed the other party.
"Thank you." Picking up the milk cup at hand, Wang Yongren accepted the congratulations. According to incomplete statistics, his last book "The Martian" sold more than 55 million worldwide, and "Pacific Rim", which was released in November 07, exceeded 70 million after the hit of the movie of the same name last year.
If "Lightyears Away" can surpass "The Martian" and "Pacific Rim" in its first month of sales, it means that the future potential is definitely more than 100 million copies.
Well, this dream, just think about it!
"Perhaps, where are you going to go for the signing today?" Yesterday was a beautiful Valentine's Day, and Annabelle would like to spend a little longer with this handsome Chinese guy.
"Paris! This time I came to Berlin, thank you Anna for your hospitality. After enjoying an exotic breakfast, Wang Yongren smiled and thanked.
Naturally, he wouldn't have stayed in Annabelle's manor last night, otherwise with yesterday's heat, the door to the manor would have been blocked if it was on the news every minute.
The scandal between a talented and handsome guy and a wealthy lady is more eye-catching than any talented and beautiful woman, both ancient and modern, both at home and abroad.
"It just so happens that I'm going to Paris too, why don't you take my special plane there?!" After listening to the other party's answer, Annabelle said with a smile, her eyes full of hope that people couldn't bear to refuse.
"Then I'll go back to Anna's private jet." In the face of the enthusiasm of this little princess of the Porsche family, Wang Yongren, who understood the simple character of the other party, did not refuse.
The relationship between the two is more like a confidant, and there is no need to worry about being too intimate and too aggressive, which is completely different from Miss Feng who has ulterior motives and an embarrassing identity.
"You can rub it a few more times."
"Huh?!" Looking at the evil smile on the face of the little princess Porsche, he always felt that this word was not very serious. But thinking about the identity of the other party, it should not be able to understand the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters, Wang Yongren did not dwell on this small problem.
……
"The little princess of the Porsche family is not coming to see you off?" At the end of the signing in Paris, sitting on the plane to London, Alyssa, the head of Hachette Books for Asia, asked with a smile.
In the past two days, the little Porsche princess has occupied most of the leisure time of the handsome Chinese guy, which makes her feel powerless.
Chen Dong, the female secretary in the back two rows, also listened attentively, wanting to know some of the boss's gossip. Although it is not clear what the specific relationship between the boss and the European wealthy lady is, and he has not seen the direct relationship between the two with his own eyes, Chen Dong guessed that there must be a hidden secret.
Not to mention, his boss is handsome to a certain extent, and it is really a killing of both Eastern and Western women. Occasionally, when she looks at the boss's focused side face a few times, she can't help but be a little obsessed!
The male stars in the entertainment industry, compared with their own bosses, have a much worse temperament!
"She still has to continue her studies, and she doesn't have so much free time." Speaking of Annabelle's whereabouts, Wang Yongren replied casually.
When his eyes fell on the editor-in-chief of the European beauty in a black lace dress and black silk, he had a different idea.
"This time I'm going to London, and I'll have a good rest before I start the signing." Looking at the young and handsome Chinese writer, Alyssa said meaningfully.
"Okay, as long as you don't delay my meeting in New York on the 25th." As if he didn't understand the deep meaning in the other party's eyes, Wang Yongren nodded naturally and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
At four o'clock in the morning, the presidential suite of the five-star hotel in London was gently pushed open, and a graceful figure walked out, and then returned to the business suite downstairs.
In more than ten days, Wang Yongren ran four signing sessions in a row, and finally settled in New York, North America.
"21 million, plus Huaxia, there are about 25 million copies." Sitting in the living room of the presidential suite of the Sheraton New York Hotel, Alyssa reported to the handsome Chinese guy about the sales performance in the recent period.
This data took 22 days for "The Martian", which was released in the middle of last year, to reach, and "Light Years Away" took less than half of the time.
Among them, although there are factors that Hachette has spent a lot of resources to promote, it can also be seen that the popularity of this handsome Chinese writer has increased a lot.
"Thank you so much for Alyssa's attention." Hearing this number, Wang Yongren smiled and poured a cup of tea for the other party.
Tea is the Longjing he brought out from China, and making tea is naturally Secretary Chen's job, and ordinary people will not easily invite each other to drink.
"Won't you invite me to a glass of red wine for such good news?" After taking a sip of the aftertaste of green tea, Alyssa asked with a smile, her face covered with a little makeup, her hand on her lap leaned forward slightly, and the loose neckline showed the high quality of the white top.
Round and jade, presumably the editor-in-chief of Hachette Asia, who earns more than one million euros a year, wears clothes that are definitely valuable brand goods.
I have to say that the girls of the German Federation are a little better than the old beauty or the old goose. The skin is white, and she will not look too old before she gets married and has children, and her figure is incomparable to ordinary Chinese girls, and the exotic style is easy to provoke.
"I'm going to make an appointment tonight with a few representatives of the foundation, and when I'm done with the past few days, I'll go to the cherry blossom country to invite you to drink red wine." A dispensable entanglement flashed through his mind, and Wang Yongren refused with a smile.
None of the other reasons are reasons, but Miss Feng is coming to New York tonight, which is the most important thing. In the new round of financing of Sheling.com, the FQ trading company represented by Miss Feng will also participate, and naturally they will also attend the meeting of representatives tomorrow night.
The formal meeting the day after tomorrow is basically a formality, and the share of financing will be finalized tomorrow night. Prior to this, Wang Yongren transferred 4 points each to FQ Trading and YLBN, and his shares in Sheling have dropped to 30.6%.
In this financing, his shares will definitely fall again. However, by indirectly controlling the companies of the remaining shareholders, Wang Yongren still has absolute control over Sheling.com.
There is no way, it is impossible for one person to run a business in the United States, especially his identity as a young rich man in China.
In the future, it is an inevitable process to let Sheling go further and reduce his presence as the founder.
"Well, I'm looking forward to the signing in Sakura Country." Hearing that the other party was career-oriented, Alyssa had appreciation in her eyes, and briefly said the precautions for the signing meeting during the day tomorrow, and walked back to her room to rest and work.
And Chen Dong, the female secretary who pretended to turn a blind eye, was sorting out some data from Sheling.com, so that the boss could show off to several new shareholders when he got together tomorrow.
"I've arrived."
"I'll pick you up."
"No, I'm at the door of your hotel room."
