Grandpa's great writer

Chapter 196 No need, I have it

The sales of "Ten Little Indian Boys" on the first day were [-] copies in the UK, [-] copies in the United States, and [-] copies in other English-speaking countries.

The data on the first day looks relatively small, even a bit miserable.

However, on the second day, sales in the UK rose to 20, sales in the US rose to [-], and the total sales of the English version on the second day exceeded [-].

There are two main reasons for the sudden increase in sales the next day. On the one hand, it is because the book "Ten Little Indian Boys" is really good; The popularity of this time played a role.

The "Washington Evening News" also published a special article titled "Pvs.zhang is actually a master detective?"

The author who wrote this news should have known about fifth-grade vegetative people on purpose, and explained the pseudonym pvs.zhang in the news. It turns out that pvs stands for vegetative people, and the latter "zhang" is the author's Chinese surname .

In addition, the news also introduced the author's experience.

"Since last summer, pz has published eight novels and several short stories, and has also written poems. He is a very prolific writer. Just in March, pz won the highest honor award for popular literature in China, Huaxia Youth Literature and Art Award. It is also because of this award that we know that he is just a young man who has not yet reached the age of 30."

"In fact, in the minds of Chinese readers, the initial impression of pz should be a master of detective novels. At the beginning of this year, he was awarded the Best Newcomer Award by the China Detective Master Award. And the story we are seeing now "Ten Little Indian Boys" was actually published long ago in China..."

A photo of Zhang Zhong receiving the Huaxia Youth Literature and Art Award was attached to the front of this news. In the photo, Zhang Zhong was smiling while holding the medal.

After reading this news, European and American readers realized that the Chinese sci-fi master in their hearts was originally a master of detective novels, and as for sci-fi, it was just his side job.

The comments below the news can say anything.

[I have to say that pz has extraordinary talent for detective novels, but I still hope he can produce more science fiction works, because I really love his science fiction. 】

[I think it's all right, his detective novels are so exciting. 】

[Actually, I have paid attention to Huaxia's detective novels. I also read "The Murder of Loulan", the winning work of the Huaxia Detective Master Award last year, but I was very disappointed after reading it.What I'm more curious about now is why pz only won the rookie award?Are the tastes of Chinese readers different from ours? 】

["The Loulan Murder" is not bad, but it is much worse than this book. 】

[It is said that pz also has a few detective novels, which are also very good. I don't know when the English version will be published. 】

[It may take a long time. After all, this book has just come out. Alas, who knows a better Chinese learning institution, I want to learn Chinese. 】

[Haha, how important it is to have a Huaxia friend at this time, I have already read his other books through my Huaxia friend. 】

[Envy, are there any Chinese people here, let's make friends. 】

[Huaxia people are here, is there any young lady who wants to make friends? 】

【Lezart, didn't you say you were British last time? 】

[I am a mixed race, one-sixteenth Chinese mixed race. 】

……

[I haven't read the science fiction novel you mentioned, but I think this "Ten Little Indian Boys" is really good. 】

[Yeah, when I saw that the murderer was a judge, I got goosebumps all over my body. 】

【Please don't spoiler!Thanks! 】

[I hate this kind of spoiler the most, I haven't finished this book yet. 】

[I regret clicking on the comment section, it turns out that spoiler bastards are everywhere. 】

……

"Mr. Zhang, your Instagram followers have increased to [-], but only [-] yesterday."

Chen Qing's tone was very excited, as if he had become a fan.

Of course, this is no different from his own followers, because Zhang Zhong's ins is managed by Chen Qing, and Chen Qing is also helping to post the things on it.

Zhang Zhong didn't have much feeling for the number of 500, after all, the number of his Weiyu fans had already exceeded [-] million.

"It's all thanks to you." Zhang Zhong said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't dare to take credit for this, and I didn't do any publicity. The reason why they pay attention to you is because they like your works." Chen Qing replied with a smile, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing related to you. Let me report that the preparations for "Assassination" are almost ready, and the filming should begin next month."

Zhang Zhong was a little surprised, "Liu Yongqing's efficiency is so fast? Where did he get the money?"

When purchasing film and television copyrights, Liu Yongqing also sold a house, and now that the preparations have been made so quickly, did he keep a hand?Not as poor as he said?

Chen Qing explained with a smile, "I found out that he has cooperated with Huayi. Huayi helps invest, and then he gets a share."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhang Chong sighed, and after going around in circles, "Conspiracy" finally came into Hua Yi's hands.

Of course, the situation now is not the same as when it was sold directly to Hua Yi.

Liu Yongqing's desperate efforts to get "The Conspiracy" can be regarded as gaining the right to speak for his future filming. At least now he is the director, the screenwriter is him, and the starring role is still him.

And it is foreseeable that after the filming of "The Conspiracy", regardless of the quality, with Hua Yi's operation and the popularity of the original work, it is basically certain that it will make money.

At that time, Liu Yongqing will gain both fame and fortune, and he took this step very cleverly, but cleverness belongs to the wise, and the courage to break the ax into a boat like this is not something that everyone has.

No one lost during this process, but Huayi Entertainment made less money.

If they had known that Zhang Zhong could win the Huaxia Youth Literature and Art Award, perhaps they would have directly offered a price that Liu Yongqing could not match to win "The Conspiracy" in one fell swoop, so they wouldn't have to share it with him now.

In fact, since Zhang Zhong won the Huaxia Youth Literature and Art Award, the sales of both his old books and new books have increased a lot.

As for the copyright of several of his books, more people asked about it. Wen Jinjiang mentioned this matter twice when he called. Among them, "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Stears The Mysterious Case of the Manor", because anyone can see that the Poirot series will be a big IP.

In addition to these two books, "I'm a Fortune Teller", which no one cared about before, was actually asked.

The only thing no one came to ask about was the new book "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood". Compared with Zhang Zhong's other books, the IP value of this book was probably much lower.

Adapting this book into a movie is probably aimed at winning awards.

"Father, I still haven't eaten a candy today." Zhang Zhong was sitting behind the desk thinking about something, and Peng Peng ran to the door and said.

The weather in March and April is still a little cold, and the heating is not turned on at home. Peng Peng is wearing a small red vest, and there are many beads of sweat on his forehead.

She had just come from the game room next door, and she must have been a little tired from playing. At this moment, she remembered that she hadn't eaten one of the four candies today, so she came to find an important candy.

Zhang Zhong smiled and stood up, "Then dad will get it for you."

"No need, Dad." Peng Peng took out a lollipop from the vest as if by magic, and said proudly, "I already have it."
