Rebirth of the Great Era 1993

On the way back, everyone separated.

Lilith and Xie Qi followed Liao Yun to the market to buy vegetables.

Zhang Xuan and Tao Ge discussed publishing matters as they walked.

Passing by a video store, Zhang Xuan suddenly became interested and went in to take a look.

After searching, he was a little disappointed that he couldn't find the movie of the same name as "Exodus".

Tao Ge asked: "What are you looking for?"

Zhang Xuan replied: "Exodus."

Tao Ge said, "This is a very early movie. Do you still watch it?"

Zhang Xuan told her: "I remembered something."

Tao Ge said: "Come with me, I will take you to a place."

Zhang Xuan nodded and hailed a taxi with her.

More than ten minutes later, the two entered a large video store.

Tao Ge introduced: "This is almost the largest video store in London. If it isn't here, you probably won't be able to find it."

Tao Ge explained his purpose to the store manager and finally asked: "Is there any?"

The store manager recalled: "I don't remember it clearly myself. It was available before, but I don't know if it was sold out later.

Please wait a moment, both of you, I'll go look for you. "

After that, the store manager went to the deepest part of the store.

After a long search, the store manager found 3 discs from a corner after a few minutes:

"Thank God, God takes care of you, and there are 3 discs left."

Zhang Xuan wanted it all without even thinking about it.

When they returned to the apartment, Lilith and the other three had not returned yet.

Tao Ge said: "I collected the rumor and the hidden 10 million royalties for you last time. I didn't bring the check. I'll give it to you next time I return to China."

Zhang Xuan said yes.

Tao Ge poured two cups of tea, one for Zhang Xuan and one for herself.

She asked: "Liao Yun suddenly blocked the door this time. Are you panicked?"

Zhang Xuan looked into her eyes: "You seem to be waiting to watch a show?"

Tao Ge crossed his legs and said without hesitation: "Life is so boring, so of course you have to watch a show."

Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes at her: "I'm really sorry to disappoint you."

Tao Ge teased: "I'm not disappointed. Liao Yun obviously came prepared when she blocked the door this time. I was just wondering how you will end up in the future?"

If you eat someone else's daughter, you will have to give an explanation in the future, unless you marry Lilith. "

Zhang Xuan took a sip of tea. This problem also gave him a headache.

Tao Ge leaned forward and asked, "Tell me the truth, Mi Jian, Shuang Ling and Lilith really want it, right?"

Zhang Xuan held the tea cup with both hands: "Who do you think I can let go of?"

Tao Ge was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

Zhang Xuan was speechless: "Can't you be more careful about your image in front of me?

How could a person who is so intellectual and elegant come to me? "

The long legs in black stockings swayed slightly, but Tao Ge didn't care: "I have long lost my image in front of you. Why do I have to live so tiringly?"

After that, she asked again: "I'm really anxious for you. You have to choose someone to marry in the future, right?"

Zhang Xuan didn't want to pay attention to her.

He drank the tea in one breath, put the cup on the coffee table, stood up and entered the study.

Seeing that Tao Ge was about to follow, Zhang Xuan frowned: "Can't you avoid suspicion? It won't look good when Lilith comes back later."

Tao Ge was disdainful, "Why should we avoid suspicion?"

Zhang Xuan said: "Is there any difference between men and women?"

Tao Ge tilted his head: "Just don't have any thoughts about me!"

Zhang Xuan was helpless: "I want to write and need a quiet environment."

Hearing that he was about to write, Tao Ge stopped teasing him this time and turned around to turn on the TV.

Zhang Xuan said: "Lower your voice."

Tao Ge glanced at his back and really lowered his voice.

After a while, Lilith and the other two came back carrying large and small bags of food.

Knowing that Zhang Xuan was writing, several people consciously did not disturb him.

An hour later, Liao Yun took off her apron and said to Lilith: "Tingting, go call Zhang Xuan for dinner."

Lilith walked to the door of the study, quietly opened the door, and looked inside.

Then he closed the door gently: "He is writing, so don't disturb him yet."

Then Lilith said: "I'll get a bowl and leave some food for him."

Hearing this, Tao Ge and Xie Qi looked at Liao Yun in unison, trying hard not to laugh.

Liao Yun looked calm on the surface, but she was already feeling bad inside. In the past 21 years, Tingting has never cared so much about herself and her father.

At this moment, Liao Yun was very upset.

While feeling heartbroken, I felt that my decision was the right one. Fortunately, I didn't rashly interfere with my daughter's feelings.

Do you think she doesn't want to intervene?

No, Liao Yun really wants to intervene!

Especially when she came back from Shangcun, especially when she learned that Zhang Xuan and Du Shuangling were dating, especially when Ruan Xiuqin showed that she was very satisfied with Du Shuangling, Liao Yun, a mother, was very angry.

That day, she suppressed her emotions and kept smiling when she left Shangcun and Qianzhen.

The moment she left Qianzhen, Liao Yun felt like her heart was being scratched with a knife. She wanted to call Zhang Xuan and give him a scolding, or even slap him in the face.

The emotional Liao Yun is a loving mother.

But Liao Yun, who has calmed down, is a woman who considers the overall situation in all aspects.

Liao Yun knew her daughter Mo Ruomu well and knew her daughter's temperament. After returning to Shao City, she shut herself in her study and meditated for a long time, listing several options on paper.

Then she weighed the pros and cons of various options, and finally she chose to endure it.

In fact, Liao Yun was very depressed when she made this decision.

If she had any chance of persuading Tingting to come back, she would not choose this way.

She knows that her daughter is the most rebellious at this age, the time when she yearns for love the most, and she cannot persuade her to go back.

She also knew that if she tried to persuade them forcefully, the mother and daughter would definitely fall out and end up fighting each other. This was an outcome Liao Yun didn't want to see.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xuan came out to use the small toilet.

Lilith came to greet her on the sofa and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat some food first? The food will be heated for you."

Zhang Xuan glanced at the other three women on the sofa who were looking at him, and nodded: "I happen to be a little hungry."

"You go to the bathroom, I'll serve you some food." Lilith strode to the kitchen.

Zhang Xuan glanced at Liao Yun again and entered the bathroom without saying anything.

He now has the feeling that Liao Yun is observing him all the time.

…

After dinner, the four girls went for a walk outside to eat.

Zhang Xuan entered the study and continued writing.

Although I have written more than 6,000 words today, I have not revised it yet.

Based on his past experience, it takes about one to two hours to revise three times.

After 8 o'clock in the evening, Lilith and others came back, drinking coffee, watching TV, chatting, and waiting in the living room...

Tao Ge, Xie Qi, and Lilith were all anxiously waiting for a call from the publisher.

They want to know today's sales figures for "The Wind-Up Girl" in the UK.

Liao Yun had been watching TV calmly, acting calm and composed. He just pricked up his ears and listened intently to Tao Ge and the others' guesses about today's data.

Tao Ge said: "As long as there are 18,000 copies today, I will be satisfied."

Xie Qi guessed: "I am bolder, I guess 20,000 copies."

Lilith said firmly: "It will not be less than 25,000 copies."

Xie Qi was surprised: "So confident?"

Lilith pursed her lips: "When has he ever disappointed anyone?"

Xie Qi smiled and said: "You are a typical Aiwujiwu. You have to know that Harry Potter didn't sell so well at the beginning."

Lilith insisted: “Harry Potter’s publisher is not good, and the early publicity was not good enough.

This is Penguin Press! Moreover, I have read the two books three times, and the quality is very different. "

Xie Qi told her: "The better the quality of many things, the better they sell. It depends on the intensity of publicity and market fit."

People were waiting anxiously outside, but Zhang Xuan didn't even know.

After he finished revising "The World", he began to write a letter.

I wrote a letter to Wen Hui and told her my thoughts about "Exodus". The music has been decided, it just depends on her playing technique.

Zhang Xuan put forward several opinions based on Maxim's performance characteristics.

The content of the letter is not much, about 300 words.

After writing, Zhang Xuan read it twice and then put the letter aside.

His current mentality is no longer the same as yesterday at Good MAN. At that time, he was a little excited when he first thought about it, but now he calms down and takes it very lightly.

The reason why a piano master is a piano master depends on his personal playing style. Whether Wen Hui succeeds or not is not something he can control.

The most I can do is give you an idea. The key is whether Wen Hui is inspired?

And I only know this idea, and I don’t know anything else. My level is too low, so I can’t help much.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang..."

At 9 o'clock in the evening, while several people were waiting impatiently, the Nokia that Tao Ge placed on the coffee table suddenly rang.

The ringtone is so friendly and rhythmic.

The four of them fell silent for an instant.

Liao Yun stood up and turned the TV to silent.

Tao Ge picked up the phone: "hello...really?...thank u..."

The call wasn't long, only about two minutes.

But as soon as the call ended, Tao Ge, who had shown his grace just now, was so excited that he couldn't breathe.

Seeing Tao Ge looking at her without saying anything, Xie Qi became anxious, leaned forward and asked, "How much?"

Lilith intertwined her fingers, feeling extremely nervous.

Tao Ge took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, put down his phone, and said leisurely: "43,000 copies."

Xie Qi stood up impatiently, "How much?"

Tao Ge sat up straight: "Penguin Publishing just told me that Clockwork Girl sold 43,000 copies in the UK today, setting a record!"

Liao Yun turned her head and looked at Tao Ge intently without saying a word.

Lilith was very quiet, very quiet, and then suddenly stood up and ran straight to the study.

Liao Yun glanced at Lilith, and then her eyelids drooped. What was she thinking in her mind?

Regardless of whether Zhang Xuan was writing or not this time, Lilith, who was extremely excited, rushed in at once, bent down and kissed her and said excitedly:

"Husband, 43,000 copies! 43,000 copies!"

Zhang Xuan put down his book and was shocked: "British sales data?"

Lilith lay in his arms, "Yeah, yeah, sales data for one day."

Zhang Xuan's eyes were round and he was a little unsure: "So many?"

Seeing his expression, Lilith thought it was cute, then she put her hands around his neck and offered her fragrant lips.

Zhang Xuan was blocked, struggled and said: "Don't... the door, there is no door..."

Lilith increased her efforts, no matter what...

5 minutes later.

Zhang Xuan shouted in a low voice: "Are you crazy? How dare you do this when the door is not closed?"

Lilith smiled like a flower, held her chest out and pressed against him, "They won't come over."

Zhang Xuan was really scared: "If I see it, it will have a bad impact."

Lilith said with a charming expression: "Isn't it exciting?"

Zhang Xuan, who felt guilty for Liao Yun, felt that the excitement was really fucking exciting, but he was also really afraid of being seen.

They are all respectable people and they all want to save face.

Lilith grabbed his right hand, put it into her clothes, and said coquettishly: "I am very happy now and need you to comfort me."

Zhang Xuan: "..."

Lilith kissed him again and provoked him: "Are you so afraid of trouble?"

Zhang Xuan sighed: "Go and close the door."

Lilith said defiantly: "No! It won't be so enjoyable if you close the door."

Zhang Xuan frowned and said angrily: "How about we go to the sofa?"

Lilith twisted her enchanting figure, stood up and closed the door.

Ten minutes later, Lilith's eyes were full of water, she bit his earlobe and muttered: "Hubby~, I'm pregnant~"

Hearing this cooing address, the old man shivered all over, "Your mother is outside, don't make trouble."

"Husband~!"

Zhang Xuan shivered for a while and was so frightened that he quickly stood up and moved away from her original position.

Lilith bit her lower lip tightly and looked at him with a look of resentment.

Zhang Xuan ignored the crazy woman and paced back and forth. After the strangeness in his body subsided, he opened the door and walked out.

Seeing him come out, Tao Ge looked at his watch meaningfully.

Tao Ge asked him, "Do you understand?"

Zhang Xuan sat down next to Tao Ge and said hum.

Tao Ge asked again: "How do you feel?"

Facing three pairs of eyes, Zhang Xuan said calmly: "Fortunately, this result is a bit beyond my expectation, but it's only the first day.

After all, Penguin Publishing has been promoting it for so long, so it’s understandable that it broke out on the first day.

The real results still depend on the continuation later. "

After more than 20 minutes of being happy and happy, Tao Ge was also in a rational state at this moment: "Yes, it is really commendable that you can maintain such calmness.

We have just analyzed that the outbreak of Clockwork Girl on the first day can only prove that the publicity is in place and that your identity has been recognized by the British. This is a very good momentum.

The next step is to see whether the story can be accepted by them and whether word-of-mouth takes effect. This is the foundation.

The results after three days, the results after one week, and the results after half a month are more valuable for reference. "

Zhang Xuan has written three books, so he is certainly no stranger to these.

This evening, several people on the sofa emphasized calmness and calmness, but they could not help but be happy.

At Lilith's suggestion, Liao Yun and Xie Qi went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes and have a small celebration with a drink.

After drinking for three rounds, Liao Yun raised her glass and said to Zhang Xuan: "It's very good. Auntie has witnessed a miracle tonight. I wish your new book a great sale."

"Thank you, auntie!" Zhang Xuan thanked him sincerely, clinked the cups and drank it in one gulp.

Tao Ge raised his glass and said: "When you asked me to help you run "Clockwork Girl", I was reluctant and skeptical. I hope your subsequent results will get better and better, and I will be slapped in the face for the rest of my life."

Zhang Xuan hurriedly touched one: "If it's serious, I will be slapped in the face for the rest of my life."

Tao Ge raised his eyelids, raised his head and took a sip.

It's Xie Qi's turn.

I saw her saying: "I like this job very much. I like watching you conquer the British. It's very enjoyable. Come on! Defeat them!"

Zhang Xuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xie Qi, who usually pays attention to his words and deeds, still has such a side in his heart.

Yes, very oriental! Not bad, very Chinese!

Lilith stood up and paid him a final tribute, "May you stand on top of the world!"

Zhang Xuan stood up, looked at each other for a few seconds, and then started working together.

This night, the old man who opened his heart to drink with Tao Ge, Lilith and Xie Qi was a little drunk.

After 8 bottles of beer, I returned to the bedroom in a daze.

Tao Ge was drunk and was the first to get drunk.

Xie Qi did not hesitate to give in, but she was also drunk.

After helping the two people who were staggering on the sofa back to the bedroom, Liao Yun said to Lilith: "Sleep with mom tonight."

Lilith pouted: "Mom, it took a lot of effort for him to come here."

Liao Yun ignored it, walked into the bedroom and said, "You are all drunk, and it is easy to get into trouble."

Although Lilith was usually bold, when she heard her mother say these words without mercy, her face turned red and she couldn't help but hugged Liao Yunmeng in a pretentious manner.

Liao Yun was shaken a little, so she patted her daughter's forehead and said angrily and amusedly:

"Mom has raised you for more than 20 years, and this is the first time I've seen you shy. I thought you really didn't know how high the sky is."

Lilith said flatteringly: "No way, I just have a good life and my parents love me."

Liao Yun sat on the bed: "Sleep with mom tonight."

Hearing this, Lilith immediately let go of her, threw herself on the bed, and muttered: "I'll be with you tonight, and I'll be with him tomorrow night."

Liao Yun suddenly became angry.

That night, Zhang Xuan slept soundly after drinking. Close your eyes and don't care about what's going on outside the window.

Zhang Xuan slept comfortably, but it was crazy busy outside!

Penguin Press.

The bald editor-in-chief suddenly asked Jack: "Jack, is there any news from Japan? How much is Japan?"

Jack replied: "There is news, volume 15023."

“How much is South Korea?”

"8811 volumes."

The bald editor scolded: "What? That's it? Aren't they known as the Four Asian Tigers? That's it? No wonder South Korea is always inferior to Japan!"

"Singapore?"

"6009 volumes."
