Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

At first glance, a call came in, and it was Xie Qi.

After walking out of the reading room, Zhang Xuan answered the phone and asked, What's wrong?

Husband, it's me. Lilith's voice.

Zhang Xuan looked at the screen again and confirmed that it was Xie Qi's, Why don't you call me on your own phone?

Lilith explained: My mobile phone got damaged due to water damage. I plan to buy a new one later.

Then Lilith asked charmingly: Do you miss me?

Zhang Xuan laughed and said, No.

Lilith's lips curled up and she said, Then do you miss my body?

Zhang Xuan continued: I don't want to.

Lilith knelt on the bed, biting her lower lip: I was doing math problems on geometry recently, and I found that I am missing a protractor and a ruler. When will you give them to me?

Zhang Xuan said: Recently, my bag has been empty and I have no money.

Lilith asked coquettishly: Where did the money go? Is it going to be kept by Du Shuangling again? Can't you, a grown man, keep some private money?

Zhang Xuan swore: Starting from tomorrow, I will save money for you.

Lilith snorted and threatened: You don't need to save. What you give is not as useful as what I grab. I will buy a plane ticket to return to China tomorrow. I will sleep wherever you sleep. Let's let Du Shuangling sleep under the bed.

Zhang Xuan was speechless: Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. I can come to the UK during the summer vacation, or you can come to Singapore during the summer vacation.

Lilith asked excitedly: Really?

Zhang Xuan said: When did I lie to you?

Damn it, this tiger girl is getting more and more outrageous as she talks.

Seeing Dong Ziyu come out, Zhang Xuan coughed and interrupted: I'm in the library.

Are you in the library? It's so quiet. I thought you were waiting in the shower room to chat with me on the phone. Lilith teased, Then I'll go to Singapore to wait for you after graduation.

Zhang Xuan said yes.

Dong Ziyu saw him answering the phone and stopped where he was. Then he cast his eyes on the steps below, quietly watching the alumni coming and going.

After chatting for ten minutes, Lilith got up and went outside to the living room: Don't hang up yet, my cousin has something to do with you.

Xie Qi, who was watching TV, took the phone and said, The first day results of the third volume of A Song of Ice and Fire: A Storm of Swords are out.

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that yesterday was April 20, the day when the third volume was released globally.

Look at how forgetful I am, I am so busy that I have forgotten such an important thing.

Zhang Xuan asked expectantly: How was the starting result?

Xie Qi said happily: Very good.

Zhang Xuan urged: Tell me something.

Xie Qi took the data report on the coffee table, It was launched in 60 countries and regions around the world yesterday, and 2.01 million copies were sold in one day, breaking the previous record of 1.91 million copies for the second volume. It is Penguin Publishing's best so far. First day results.”

Zhang Xuan was a little confused, So powerful?

Xie Qi confirmed the data again: That's right, that's it. It's 100,000 copies more than the second volume. Today we conducted a preliminary interview and survey with 50 people in London. They said the beginning was very good and the reputation has exploded.

Zhang Xuan grinned with joy after hearing this.

Because of human world reasons, I haven't been so happy for a long time. This long-lost feeling is really good.

After half a year of waiting, he has given readers around the world a surprise, and readers have also given him generous rewards.

At this moment, Xie Qi's voice came over again and asked: Penguin Publishing asked me to ask you when the fourth volume will be released. Do you have any clues?

Every day, a large number of readers inquire about the situation from the publishing house. Everyone is paying close attention to this matter. I heard that the queen of the royal family has become your reader.

Is there still this matter?

I also heard from Daniel. He attended a party last weekend. At the party, a prince asked him about the follow-up to A Song of Ice and Fire, and he mentioned that the Queen is your reader.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!.

Zhang Xuan clicked his tongue and said: Your young writer boss is amazing. Not only did he conquer the number one man in the United States, but even the Queen sang praises wherever he went.

Xie Qi answered: Everywhere you go, there is no grass growing.

Zhang Xuan slapped his thigh: My enemy, there is no grass growing!

Xie Qile went crazy. He almost spit out the coffee in his mouth because of his laughter.

Zhang Xuan thought about it for a while and said to Xie Qi: Tell Penguin Publishing that the fourth volume is in sight and I will give it to them at the end of the year or early next year.

Xie Qi noted this down and added: The American ABC TV station has been in contact with me these days. I still hope that I can advise you to write a series of stories like A Song of Ice and Fire. They are willing to pay a high price to buy the film and television. copyright.

Zhang Xuan asked casually: How much is the bid now?

Xie Qi said: One hundred million, US dollars.

Zhang Xuan was surprised and asked: How much dividend did we pay in the last quarter of Game of Thrones?

Xie Qi told him: $61 million, which is 21 million higher than the first price of $39 million.

At this point, he understood. No wonder ABC TV was willing to pay a high price and was completely jealous of HBO's crazy profits.

Zhang Xuan did not refuse explicitly this time: Tell ABC TV station like this, wait for news from me in the spring next year. The second half of this year will be very busy and I won't have time.

Hearing that he had agreed in disguise, Xie Qi felt happy. She had just accepted Tao Ge's job, so naturally she hoped to create a popular best-seller in her hands: Sure, I will communicate with the other party later and put this together. Give them good news.

Then Xie Qi talked about the third thing, The first Harry Potter volume has been released in China. Have you paid attention?

Zhang Xuan frowned: I have been busy with The World and reading financial books recently. I didn't pay attention to the news in this area. Am I not doing well?

Xie Qi said happily: Actually, the results are pretty good. There were 37,000 copies on the first day, which is much better than expected.

Zhang Xuan remembered that Harry Potter was introduced to China in 2000 in his previous life. He didn’t know how much it sold at that time, but he remembered that it was quite popular.

Shaking his head, he asked: How much is the royalties for introducing Harry Potter into the country?

Xie Qi took another report and told him: The advance payment for People's Literature is 10,000 US dollars per copy, and the royalties for copies of more than 1 million are 15%. This royalty rate is currently the highest in the country.

15%. China, where piracy is rampant and does not pay attention to copyright, is no better than abroad. This proportion is indeed frighteningly high.

But he was not particularly satisfied with the results on the first day, but he understood it.

Due to his own existence, Harry Potter came out more than two years earlier than in his previous life, and was introduced to China three years earlier. Due to the limitations of the domestic economic level, this achievement is acceptable.

However, Harry Potter’s audience is teenagers and children. It is April now, and these people are usually still in school, focusing on studying for exams.

Maybe during the winter and summer vacations, Harry Potter will usher in a wave of good news.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xuan was thinking: It seems that he has to hurry up and complete the human world.
