reborn in america

In fact, what Adam didn't know was that he could be counted as having escaped a catastrophe, because according to the original revised plan, the activities that Adam would participate in were at least two or three times the current number, and some editors even proposed to hold a Christmas event Signing event, to boost the sales performance, but these proposals were rejected by Cromwell.

As for why, the editor of HarperCollins suddenly went berserk and wanted Adam to add more work content. This is to talk about the changes in the half month since Adam accepted the invitation and finally came to New York.

After Thanksgiving, due to the excellent quality, HarperCollins' continuous promotion, and the continuous entry of books and wider distribution, the sales volume of "Jurassic Park" in the second week spurted again. It jumped to a weekly sales volume of 11, directly entering the top five of the New York Times fiction books' weekly sales list.

But this is not the end, in the third week, word of mouth and more voluntary book reviews began to set their sights on the "Jurassic Park", which turned out to be out of nowhere, and the sales jumped again, directly breaking through 20. It reached a terrifying sales volume of 22, second only to "Scarlett" with a weekly sales of 28.

Because "Scarlett" has been on the shelves for more than two months, although the sales volume is still considerable, it is not as impactful as it was at the beginning. There is no doubt about the quality of "Jurassic Park", and its sales trend has obviously just started , the subsequent continuous ejection is no longer a probabilistic issue, but an inevitable event.

It can be said that "Jurassic Park" will counterattack "Scarlett" and reach the top of the fictional novel rankings in this week, which is almost a certainty.

The original estimate of the million-dollar final sales of "Jurassic Park" has also been rewritten. Although it is impossible to make an accurate judgment, the goal is to set the final sales of 500 million, which is no longer an extravagant hope.

However, they still underestimated the terrifying sales of "Jurassic Park". When they were preparing Adam's promotional schedule step by step, they would never have expected how terrifying the new week's sales would be. It can be called 90s Book's biggest dark horse.

In the new week, the sales of "Jurassic Park" almost exploded, which can be said to have caught the eyes of many people in the industry. The road to consecutive championships, and its sales are almost crushing-weekly sales of 52.1.

Although it is approaching the peak season of Christmas sales, even if there is a certain bonus to sales, it is only 20% to [-]%. After all, books are not traditional Christmas gifts, nor are they necessary consumables for Christmas. The sales volume has just exceeded [-] last week, and the growth rate has doubled. This speed is simply jaw-dropping.

You know, "Scarlett", which ranked second this week, barely reached 25. Compared with last week's sales, it even dropped. Of course, this is due to its relatively long sales period. related to periods of weakness.However, "Jurassic Park" has experienced explosive growth, and some places even have an embarrassing situation of being sold out. Fortunately, the sales volume of "Jurassic Park" was predicted to be good before, and it was printed urgently, which stabilized the situation. The face of the big publisher Percollins.

And before this explosive sales came out, the influence of "Jurassic Park" was reflected in several promotional activities carried out by Adam earlier. Among them, the reading activities of the two radio stations that Adam participated in had the highest sales volume of the year. The record number of listeners made the radio station feel incredible and praised Adam greatly.

As for the well-informed newspapers, they naturally made corresponding arrangements, directly replacing the random interviews in the original small room with a special interview room, and in addition to the original content of the reporter's interview, it was also based on The reason for inserting hard photos in the interview content added Adam's task of taking pictures and taking pictures.

For an otaku, facing the camera is really a difficult thing, but since he promised to do it, he had to bite the bullet and finish it.In order to take those few hard photos, Adam spent a whole day with the photographer sent by the newspaper. After returning to the hotel, Adam didn't even take a shower, and he lay on the bed and was so tired that he collapsed on the bed. Carol was exhausted from chatting.

On the last day, it was a book fair held at the largest Barnes & Noble bookstore in New York. In fact, simply speaking, it was no different from a book fair on the radio. Sitting or standing interested book fans, after reading, some book fans will hand over the book to the author for autograph.

Although the number of readers who came to the reading club that day exceeded the original number, fortunately, since Adam is a newcomer, and the novel has just started to become popular, not too many people pay attention to him, so the reading session will not become lengthy 's signing session.

However, what made Adam most depressed was that after the study session ended, he thought he could go home, and he received a call from Cromwell again, saying that he hoped to stay in New York temporarily, because he was preparing to let him appear on " The Tonight Show, a famous talk show.

As one of the most famous talk shows in the United States, each episode has millions of viewers watching the show. If it can be on the "Tonight Show", it will undoubtedly push up the "Jurassic Park" once again. "The sales volume of this novel is an extremely important means of publicity for the novel.

You know, not everyone can be on this kind of talk show. If it weren't for the explosion in the sales of the novel "Jurassic Park", even if HarperCollins had the resources to operate it, he would not be eligible to be selected.

In this regard, Cromwell also expressed the hope that Adam can cooperate. After all, not everyone has this opportunity. Of course, if Adam refuses, then they will respect his opinion.

Helpless, Adam called Catherine and explained the situation to her. Catherine welcomed this and said that she hoped to see Adam appear on TV. She would definitely sit in front of the TV and watch it with Michelle and Brett. , and record it as a favorite.

And Carroll also expressed the hope that he would agree. After all, not everyone has this opportunity. Although he is destined to miss their final in Los Angeles, he promises that after the game, he will find an opportunity to tell him the result as soon as possible. And promised him that he would definitely win the championship.

Although Adam was very sorry, he also knew that what they said was right, so after struggling for a while, he called Cromwell to express his agreement to be on the show. He is being contacted, and the other party has listed him as a candidate, and it is very likely that he will be there.

So Adam refunded the plane ticket he bought, and stayed in the hotel honestly, waiting for the opportunity.Because Marvel Comics only paid him a week's room rate in advance, at this time, Adam can only pay for the room rate for the next time. I have to say that it is more distressing to use his own money.

For this novel, Adam has only received an advance payment of [-] U.S. dollars for the hardcover book and a [-] U.S. dollar advance payment for the paperback book since the signing of the contract. Don’t look at these as if they are rare, but they are really not small. Many ordinary best-selling books The author of the book did not even get $[-] after deducting taxes, agent fees, etc., but Adam received $[-] in advance.

However, for Adam and HarperCollins, it is unlikely that this novel will be published in paperback in a short period of time because the novel is so popular. After all, a hardcover book costs twenty or thirty dollars, and a paperback book costs only ten dollars. The most important thing is that the author of the hardcover book can still get ten points and fifteen points, which will be halved directly if he switches to the paperback version. .

Adam, watching the boring TV, calculating his own income in his mind, suddenly felt that he should ask the other party to allocate part of the money to himself in advance. After all, he paid for everything from accommodation to food and drink for promotional activities. , It's really a big loss.

Having said that, the match day of the final is December 20th, the last Friday before Christmas. Because several major TV stations did not broadcast live, several local stations in New York could not receive it, and Catherine went to the match site again. , no one is at home, otherwise it would be nice to have a phone connection to report the results of the game in real time.

After eating the rich dinner that the waiter brought to the room, Adam was eating dessert while watching boring TV, his mind was spinning wildly, and his imagination was wide open.

If the game is lost, will Bright and Carroll be sad?After all, they lost in the semi-finals last year, and there was a lot of crying. Even Carol, who has always been strong, had red eyes, and Bright even hid in the bathroom and cried for a long time.

If they win, how will they celebrate, will they throw the coach into the sky?There will still be cheerleaders sending hot kisses to those team members one by one. What if Carol is moved by kissing and kissing?

Because of his wild thoughts, Adam hugged the pillow and beat it wildly.After venting, I felt that I was ridiculously stupid. Even if Carol wanted to empathize with someone else, the kisser had to master the invincible Oliver's Kiss.

Adam, who was not thinking wildly, leaned on the bed in the hotel, and fell asleep in such a daze. He didn't know when, a ringtone woke him up. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought that it should be Catherine and the others. He called to report the result of the game. He quickly picked up the phone and hurriedly asked: "What is the result of the game? Did our school team win the game and win the state championship?"
