Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

Chapter 590, Hugo Award (please subscribe!)

Zhang Xuan asked nervously: How are the results?

pretty good!

Tell me quickly.

Xie Qi said: Due to the drafting of the first volume and a month of vigorous promotion by Penguin Press, it was launched in 59 countries and regions around the world yesterday, and 1.91 million copies were sold in one day.

Zhang Xuan was shocked, Sold so much in one day? Are you sure?

Xie Qi glanced at the data: Yes, that's it. It's a full 580,000 copies more than the first volume's launch day.

After saying that, Xie Qi added another sentence: I heard about the one in the White House. I immediately ordered my assistant to buy it. I spent almost 2 hours looking at it in the office yesterday.

Zhang Xuan became interested: How did you know? The media has reported it?

Xie Qi said excitedly: Reports? More than just reports! The European and American media are going crazy.

After his assistant leaked the news, yesterday at the end of the press interview, the President of the United States publicly said A Song of Ice and Fire was very good and worth watching when asked by reporters. He suggested that everyone watch it.

Zhang Xuan grinned with joy after hearing this.

Damn it! Even the President of the United States went out in person to recommend his book?

Is this the first in history?

In fact, as an Oriental, he would rather see someone in his family say that he likes his books, but just thinking about it, that is impossible because the national conditions are different.

1.91 million copies, this is considered a lot of accumulation, right?

After half a year of waiting, readers around the world gave him a surprise and set another record!

His mind was buzzing, as if he had seen those people queuing up to buy iPhones around 2010.

When he mentioned the Apple mobile phone, his excitement faltered.

In fact, in his vision, mobile phones are a very good industry, but after experiencing later generations, he understands that in addition to the system, mobile phones cannot escape the hurdle of chips.

This is a bit embarrassing. It seems that if you want to do something high-tech, you can almost never bypass the chip.

You can't really force yourself to get a chip, right?

The project is too big and difficult, and I don’t understand it very well, so I feel intimidated just thinking about it.

Hey, annoying, he is really interested in the mobile phone industry.

Wandering around the campus, I accidentally bumped into Li Zheng and his new primary school girl on the grass.

Xuan, Brother Xuan. Li Zheng quickly took out his hand.

Ah? The weather is good today. There is a moon in the sky and a sky full of stars... Zhang Xuan pretended not to hear or see, looked up at the sky, and walked over leisurely with his little hands behind his back.

Li Zheng's cheek muscles were shaking wildly, and he wanted to laugh and cry.

The school girl patted Li Zheng and said, You are going to die. I told you not to come here.

Li Zheng asked: Then let's go get a room?

Who wants to book a room with you! If you don't want to book a room with me, we've only been dating you for 2 months, and you've already asked me to book a room 8 times. Are you talking about a relationship with me? Or are you trying to get me?

I'm trying on shoes with my feet. Shoes will only last if they fit well.

Isn't it appropriate?

If it's not suitable, leave early. Li Zheng insisted that he was outstanding in appearance. If this girl goes, there is still another girl to wait for, and she is afraid of being a target.

Arriving at the library, Zhang Xuan found Du Shuangling, Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu.

Why are you here? Du Shuangling asked in a low voice.

Come to pick you up. Zhang Xuan said.

Du Shuangling asked worriedly: Didn't you say you were going to write tonight? It didn't go well?

Hearing this, Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu both raised their heads and looked at him.

Zhang Xuan shook his head gently: It's still not enough.

But before Du Shuangling could speak, the old man changed the subject and said, The first day's score for the new book came out, 1.91 million.

Ah? So many? Du Shuangling covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Of course, you don't want to see whose husband I am.

He blinked and murmured, then turned to Zou Qingzhu and said, Comrade Qingzhu, tomorrow is the weekend, let's have hot pot supper tonight, and the four of us will open a bottle of Romanee-Conti to celebrate.

Zou Qingzhu knew through Wen Hui that the wine was expensive, and immediately agreed happily.

Pack up your things and go home, and stop reading. Although it's only after 8 o'clock, how do you think about this situation?

Du Shuangling's mind was no longer here, and Zou Qingzhu was also thinking about what hot pot to eat.

Wen Hui glanced at the three of them quietly, smiled knowingly, picked up her books and followed them out of the library.

The next day, the national media was in a frenzy again, reporting on Zhang Xuan's feat.

Zhang Xuan was dazzled while eating noodles and reading the newspaper.

The living room was surprisingly quiet at this time.

Du Shuangling, Wen Hui and Zou Qingzhu each held a newspaper and read intently.

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

There was a pile of newspapers piled up in front of Wen Yu, and she fiddled with a calculator:

1.1+2.2+5.5+33+29+1.12=71.92

71.92! ! !

After holding the computer in a daze for a while, Wen Yu took a deep breath and said to Zhou Yi next to her:

Not counting domestic book revenue, two years! Zhang Xuan earned 7.2 billion from abroad in just two years!

Zhou Yi was stunned when she heard this. She reached for the calculator and looked at it. After a long time, she said, Do you still have the time to do statistics?

Wen Yu said: It's not like you don't know that my job is very busy when I'm busy and very idle when I'm free.

I started to get curious when I was fine. I really didn’t know anything about it, but I was scared even after thinking about it. 7.2 billion! No matter which country he goes to, there are always rich people. The key is his age.

Zhou Yi remained silent. In front of this set of figures, she had to admit that this person made money as easily as he drank soup!

Simply incredible!

Wen Yu glanced at the old man watching TV in the living room and asked quietly: Sister-in-law, you won't really force Huihui to go back to Shanghai to study for graduate school, will you?

Zhou Yi also looked in the direction of the living room: Your brother is silent about this matter. I am very weak on my own.

Thinking of her elder brother's respect for the old man, Wen Yu felt powerless and asked: Then what do you think?

Zhou Yi shook her head: I have no idea. I respect Huihui's opinion. She can go to graduate school wherever she wants.

But the old man’s starting point is also good. He is not afraid of 10,000, but just in case. I can understand it.

This was made very clear, and Wen Yu, who was unwilling to say anything, stopped talking. After throwing the computer to Lin Yuansheng, who was looking at the opposite side, he picked up the Xinmin Evening News and started reading again.

Don't know why?

Every time she reads the news about Zhang Xuan, Wen Yu feels excited, just like that.

In her opinion, what does it mean to be capable?

Earning Westerners' money is what makes you capable.

Shao City, Qianzhen Health Center.

Director, newspaper. Xiao Hong opened the door and came in.

Oh, okay, leave it there. Ai Qing, dressed in a white coat, was busy prescribing medicine for the patient.

Xiao Hong put the newspaper in front of Ai Qing and stretched out her hand jokingly: Director, today is a good day.

Ai Qing was stunned, a little confused.

But when she saw the news title the next second, she immediately took out a handful of money and put it in her hand, and said happily: Go and buy it. You will also send me two wedding candies later.

Okay! Xiao Hong happily took the money and left.

Earn more than 100 million a day!

Ai Qing held up the newspaper and felt numb.

Ai Qing was numb, and Ruan Xiuqin from Shangcun was even numb.

When the village party secretary went to town to do errands early in the morning, he heard someone talking about how much money the great writers earned.

After asking around, I found out what was going on. Then I finished my work and hurriedly bought a few newspapers and went home.

In the villa packed with people, the village party secretary waited for Ruan Xiuqin to calm down before thinking about the village's plan to build a new dam.

Due to the heavy rainfall in recent years, one dam alone is not enough. Every summer, many paddy fields are flooded. There is no harvest of rice grains, and rows of rows of fields are washed away.

So it is planned to build a new dam upstream.

For this matter, the village party secretary has always had ideas, and everyone in the village has ideas, but they are not easy to speak out hastily.

Ruan Xiuqin already knew this and asked, How much money will it cost?

The village party secretary hesitated for a while and then said, Xiu Qin, there is still 49,000 to go.

Ruan Xiuqin nodded after hearing this, but did not agree immediately, saying that she would discuss it with her son.

Hearing this tone, everyone felt relieved, knowing that Ruan Xiuqin had actually agreed, but it was his son who earned the money, so they had to say something.

Beijing, Peking University.

Mi Jian read the newspaper and said to Lu Shiyu, Let's go to eat.

Lu Shiyu held her arm: Today is your lover's big day. Please treat me to a big dinner.

Mi Jian smiled pleasantly and said yes, I'll treat you.

Walking out of the dormitory, Lu Shiyu couldn't help but ask: Finding such an excellent boyfriend will give you a sense of accomplishment, right?

Mi Jian said: This is his money.

Lu Shiyu said: Won't it all be yours sooner or later?

Mi Jian couldn't refute, so he could only say: His career is so big, this little money is not enough.

Lu Shiyu thought about the newspaper reports and thought it made sense: Then when will he come to the capital? Our dormitory is looking forward to a big dinner from him.

Over the past few years, Mi Jian's ears were almost calloused by these words, so he said, Come over next time, I'll ask him to invite me.

Also at Peking University.

Seagate read the newspaper quietly.

Jiaojiao silently observed her expression, and when she saw that Seagate still had the same expression after reading the newspaper, she couldn't bear it anymore:

Seagate, tell me the truth. Were you really not with this great writer that night?

Seagate carefully put the newspaper on the bed, No.

Jiaojiao sighed: Hey, you are really at a big loss. It's a big loss. If it were me, I would give him my body to sleep with for free.

Seagate said with a worried look on his face: How do you look like this? I'm really worried about your future Darling.

A base in Shanghai.

After Liu Bei finished filming a scene, he joked to Zhang Wen: The reshoots ended today, and I didn't see your great writer friend come to visit us. Weren't you bragging last time?

Zhang Wen turned to Bald Ge and asked, Tell her, did I brag?

Bald Ge said slowly: Liu Bei, this unreliable thing really didn't fool you this time. The film and television company has been established, and that person has joined.

Liu Bei asked: Really?

Zhang Wen patted his chest and said loudly: Of course.

Then he looked at Liu Bei and said, I've provided you with an opportunity. Let's see if you can grasp it.

Da Gangya walked over and took a look at the shape of his legs: I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to grasp it!

Hahaha!

Zhang Wen and Bald Ge laughed at the same time.

The media outside is going crazy and public opinion is exploding. As a person involved, Zhang Xuan is very calm.

After dinner, I turned off my phone, made a pot of tea, and sat by the window, watching the scenery, thinking about things, and how to write The World well.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding. ding-ding-ding-ding.

The landline phone in the living room rang suddenly.

Hearing the sound, the three women who were watching VCDs in the living room all looked at the phone.

Du Shuangling reacted quickly and quickly stood up and picked up the receiver: Hello.

Hello is spoken in English.

This series of English words made Du Shuangling stunned. Her face, which had been calm just now, was instantly flushed. She pressed her heart with her right hand and said excitedly in English:

Just a moment, please.

Then he put the receiver aside and trotted into the study: Dear! Phone! Phone!

Zhang Xuan glanced at the turned off mobile phone, turned around and asked: Whose is it?

Du Shuangling rushed over and hugged him, raised his head and said with a smile: This is from the World Science Fiction Association, Hugo Award!
