Chapter 622 Global Discussion

Although Britain's national strength is no longer as good as before, every move of the media industry still attracts the attention of the whole world.

When the Times exploded the transaction amount between Random House and Zhang Chu, the first round of news caused widespread controversy in the UK.

The reporting angles of different media may vary, but everyone is talking about that matter.

And this situation is becoming more and more intense!

BBC also made a big splash. Such high popularity of news must be reported, and their domestic, international news and radio even invited staff from Random House to conduct interviews.

This is actually a routine that has been prepared for a long time. The propaganda staff have long predicted the media's reaction and are now implementing it in an orderly manner.

In the bbc International Channel, Kevin, a male anchor in a suit and with silver hair, was connecting to a London reporter, and the reporter actually came to Random House's British headquarters for an interview.

Kevin held the microphone on his ear with his hand, and he asked the Random House staff through the display: "Charles, I heard you signed a new book for £12 million. Can you simply talk to us about the situation of this book?"

I was straightforward and didn’t have too much greeting, saving a lot of time and talking.

"The Da Vinci Code is an extremely excellent film. Zhang Chu is definitely one of the best, most intelligent and most successful writers in the world! This film will overturn other horrors known for their wisdom, and is definitely a genius work!"

Charles didn't care about his image at all, and began to hype it up directly under the camera lens, and it could also bear this level of praise.

"Wait, is it a horror of high IQ?" Kevin focused on it very cleverly and briefly summarized it.

"You are right. It is a erudite and suspense-filled work. It is a combination of thrillers and intellectual puzzles. It combines conventional elements such as murder, detectives, puzzle solving, suspense, pursuit, and adds a large number of art history, religious history, symbolism, etc. These elements are completely integrated with the thrilling story. From the beginning to the end, it is amazing!"

Wang Po is boasting about selling melons, and the British also understand this.

After hearing such comments, the audience in front of the TV suddenly became very interested in "The Da Vinci Code", which was like a fog.

"Is this why you wrote a £12 million check?" Kevin tried hard to bring the topic back on track. This is not the time to advertise, but to talk about what audiences like to listen to.

However, the audience was not grateful at this moment. They also hoped to find out more about "The Da Vinci Code" from Charles!

"Oh, Kevin, you should say less."

"Who can tell me what story the Da Vinci Code tells?"

"Why are you always £12 million? Is it to make us feel heartbroken?"

"There is no news about Da Vinci's password on the Internet, it seems to pop out of the crack of the rock!"

"Damn, I want to read this book now!"

However, the audience's resentment was not directly received by the anchor, and Kevin was not attracted by Charles' introduction at this moment.

When every book, every movie, and every song has not yet been officially released, many good reviews often appear, but after actually meeting consumers, they will know what exactly is there.

Charles also knew the reason to stop when he was good, so he said seriously: "We have collaborated with Zhang Chu for three books. This is an extremely talented writer. Although he is a Chinese, he knows very well about English and European culture. Each work is translated and written by himself. After the company's evaluation, we believe that this book has a great possibility of selling well around the world, so the first print of 5 million copies, and the 12 million pounds is just the royalties given based on the number of prints. This book "Da Vinci Code" recommends that readers with Christian faith read selectively."

"Okay, thank you Charles." Kevin turned his head to the camera after receiving the notification from the director in the headset, and quickly cut off the live interview. "No matter what, it is a great thing for a college student to get a prepaid £12 million. We look forward to this young writer bringing more excellent works."

...

The radiation range of bbc International Channel is very wide, and the high manuscript fees of "Da Vinci Code" soon spread on the Internet.

Now it is a veritable global village, and the news spreads very quickly.

Random House’s US branch also received a lot of inquiry emails, and emails from different media were asking the same question. What does this book write?

The American media industry is almost reporting this news, but their comparison is several former presidents.

Who made Obama sign a large order with a prepayment fee of $20 million two days ago? These two things are easily put together.

In many cases, writers are equivalent to a background board, and people may know more about the works he wrote.

"Sherlock Detective" and "Pi's Fantasy Drifting" are both best-selling books, but there are also differences between best-selling books. These two books are not considered super best-selling.

Such a writer actually received such a gratifying amount of prepaid manuscripts. Many netizens think this is a carefully designed hype, and some people think that Random Bookstore is blind!

Especially those writers who worked hard to write were inexplicably surprised. They felt that the whole world seemed to have changed, and this young author actually reached the top in one go.

Most writers can only get tens of thousands of dollars in advance, and a small number can get more than ten or two hundred thousand dollars. Those who have become famous for a long time are those great masters.

A prepaid manuscript fee of 100,000 US dollars can allow a writer to work under the minimum wage for three consecutive years. This state can sometimes stimulate creation more!

"When I heard this big manuscript fee that was made public, I felt that the gambling equipment was around me, and he should have a big bet in Las Vegas."

"Can this book be better than JK Rowling and Stephen King?"

"One thousand six million dollars, this book is really profitable!"

"Landon House is crazy and has given so much money. I should probably contribute to Random House."

"How about I officially announced that I started writing books, just call Van Gogh's password?"

The purpose of win-win situation was quickly achieved. Not only did it promote the new book, but it also made Random Bookstore show its face, allowing those authors who are eager to make money by writing books to see new choices.

Since Zhang Chu can get 16 million US dollars in books, even if his book is almost done, it should be fine to get hundreds of thousands or millions, right?

In terms of global discussion trends on Twitter, "Da Vinci Code" has been rising all the way and has jumped to the top!
