Chapter 575(1/3)
Tens of thousands of feet high, except for the sun and the sea of clouds, don't have any other things, the voice of the stewardess giving meals awakened Lin Chaoyang.
"How long can I go to New York?" He asked.
"Hurry up, let's rest again." Tao Yushu said.
"fine."
The business class lunch is very decent, and it is also paired with red wine.
It was just that Lin Chaoyang was not interested in drinking, but Lu'an Walter drinking on the other side did not have the nobleness of New York intellectuals. It was like an old hat from Texas.
After lunch, another plane landed on Kennedy Airport. From west to east, New York is the last stop of Lin Chaoyang's trip to the United States.
"It's a good journey!"
When getting off the plane, Lu'an Walter is still thinking about the spacious business class and delicious lunch.
At the hotel, the couple of the Lin Chaoyang lived in the Ritz -Calton Hotel in the center of Manhattan. In the evening, the president of Langdon Bookstore Alberto Velea invited the couple to dinner. He now sees Lin Chaoyang.
When you go to your loved ones, the smile on his face has never stopped.
It is understandable to think about it.
Langdon Book House's introduction of Lin Chaoyang has never failed. In a few years, it has contributed tens of millions of sales to Langdon Book House.
After the new book "Dallas Buy Furniture Affairs" was released, it even showed the trend of sweeping rankings.
It seems that it is a super best -selling book with 2 million volumes of sales. How can Alberto Velea not pay attention to Lin Chaoyang?
During the presentation, the response caused by the publishing of "Dallas Buy Furniture", Alberto Velea was endless.
"Lin, I have to admit that you are not only a genius writer, but also a talented marketing master!
The title selection of the novel is a perfect illness, which makes the world terrifying, and the edge groups that are controversial and discriminated against.
Our propaganda staff does not even need to worry about it, and the distribution department is easier. The orders of major lock bookstores have not stopped these days.
The sales of "Dallas Buy Furniture and Furniture" have approached 400,000 copies, which will be a super best -selling book · ... "
Alberto Virita is a typical businessman. When he is good for him, his attitude is extremely diligent.
"The novel can be so popular, and I am also very surprised." Lin Chaoyang said modestly.
"So I said, this is where you surpass ordinary people, this is the difference between genius and ordinary people!
Often, the results that others cannot imagine are completed inadvertently.
Have you watched the media evaluation in the past few days? All media have given "Dallas Buy Furniture and Music" and praised!
But this is not the most critical. The most important thing is that the influence of this novel is breaking the circle.
A few days ago, you accepted the interview in Texas. I heard that the response was very good. This is enough to prove that the influence of the novel has broken the barriers between readers and ordinary people.
Lin, it is becoming more popular! "
"Interview" in the mouth of Alberto Veleita refers to the interviews from several media that Lin Chaoyang was in Texas, including the Fox Dallas News, "Dallas Morning News" and "Boston Global News".
When he came to the United States for more than half a month, Lin Chaoyang did gradually feel that the popularity of "Dallas Buying Furniture Music" has far exceeded his previous works.
Alberto Veleeta may not know how to write a book, but he knows how public opinion is.
As he said, the influence of "Dallas Buy Furniture Music" is excessive from readers to ordinary people. In the words of later generations, this is called breaking.
This is what Lin Chaoyang has never done it in the United States before. Even if it is popular, such as "China on the Tip of the Tongue", it is more favored by the intellectual class.
The most direct reason for this kind of breaking circle is the bold topic and content of "Dallas Buy Furniture Music".
Although Lin Chaoyang's original intention is to write a person's struggle when facing the disease, but in the path of news spread and the public's vision, the HIV virus and homosexual groups that focus on the novel are undoubtedly more concerned.
As a country established by the Protestant, the folk customs since the founding of the United States are actually not as open as the film and television works, but also conservative, especially in the southern region.
The heresy behavior of homosexuality is naturally sinful in the Christian -led country.
Even the Bible clearly records the story of Sodoma because of the same -sex behavior that was destroyed by God with a fire, so the gay is severe punishment. It seems to be righteous here.
However, after the end of World War II, various social movements in the United States were surging, and homosexual groups also took on the civil rights movement to the streets, moved to the streets, and promoted themselves.
Until the "stone wall riots", the American homosexual group received unprecedented solidarity for the movement of its own rights and interests. After that, the American homosexual group entered the vision of the mainstream society from the state of being oppressed and discriminated against.
Then, the HIV virus appeared, and this murderous terminal illness was called "homosexual plague" in the media, which caused great panic in the entire Western society.
It also made the social environment that the American groups had changed again.
Even if it has gone through the haze in the 1980s, the discrimination against homosexual groups in American society is still very serious, but it is not as good as before.
In such a social environment, at the same time, the "HIV" and "homosexual" two social sensitive elements of "Dallas Buy Furniture Music" suddenly emerged, and the attention of the reader group could not carry this huge topic at all.
The breaking circle of novels is noticed by ordinary American people, and it is logical.
For Langdon Book House, this kind of breaking circle is of course a good thing.
Even Alberto Verita is optimistic that if "Dallas Buy Furniture Music" can really maintain the attention of public opinion in recent times, it is not impossible for the novel to sell 5 million copies in one or two years.
If you can achieve such achievements, then this novel will undoubtedly become the historic work of Langdon Book House.
Lin Chaoyang does not pay attention to the wonderful imagination of Alberto Velea, but the novel is well sold, after all, it is a good thing.
After dinner, he and Tao Yushu returned to the hotel. He fell asleep without saying a few words.
Since this week, they have ran three cities. Except for holding a signing meeting, most of them have been used to rush.
New York is the last place to sign the sales meeting, and the time is more abundant.
The couple took a calm rest for a day before they felt that they had recovered their spirits.
That afternoon, Lin Chaoyang accepted the interview with the New York Times again. At four o'clock, Lu'an Valter came to the hotel room.
"Lin, there is good news, do you want to guess?"
"Are you going to run for senators?"
Lu'an Valter suddenly felt dismissal and complained: "Why don't you say that I go to the president."
"Isn't it impossible? Are you a donkey party or a elephant party?"
This year is the year of election. This time is the stage of the candidate for the preliminary election of the Democratic Republican parties.
"I am a rhino party!"
"Well, rare!"
Lu'an Valter said that it is a joke for the Rhino Party, but this party does exist.
But not in the United States, but in Canada, the party's campaign commitment is "never fulfilling any campaign commitment".
"Don't make trouble!" Lu'an Walter stopped joking, and said to Lin Chaoyang: "" Oprala talk show "wants to invite you to be a guest!"
Lin Chaoyang's expression was full of accidents, "" Oprah talk show "?"
"Surprise, right?" Oprala talk show "actually took the initiative to extend your olive branches!
Lin, now you really want to be a well -known figure in the United States! "
Lu An Walter said with a smile.
"Oprala talk show" is the ace show of the US Radio and Television ABC. The predecessor was the talk show "Chicago Morning" of the WLS TV station.
In 1985, the host Oprah Winfrey won the right to make the show, renamed the show "Oprala Talk Show", produced by her own company and broadcast on ABC.
It soon became the national talk show ace show. Sitting in the US television industry talk show, more than 20 million viewers watch each week, and have been broadcast in more than 20 countries and regions overseas.
I'm afraid that Lin Chaoyang will not understand the popularity of "Oprah talk show", Lu An Walter scored Lin Chaoyang.
"I am a foreign writer, what do they think of interviewing me?" Lin Chaoyang asked curiously.
"Of course because of the influence of" Dallas Buying Furniture ". Lin, our ideas are right,
It is almost two months after listing, and the influence of this novel is outbreak.
Look at the sales of last week, 142,000 copies!
Compared with the first week, this sales are almost doubled.
Our propaganda work is not bad, and there is the popularity of your "China on the Tip of the Tongue", "
The first week of the first week of the Dallas Buying Furniture Music Department is already high.
But on this basis, the sales volume can be doubled in the 7th week, which can no longer be explained by pure readers.
You didn't see these newspapers, magazines, and magazines-
Lu'an Valter said, the news publication piled up in the room coffee table signaled it.
"Dallas Buying Furniture and Music" has been on the market for nearly two months, and its sales are amazing. There are also many media's high evaluation of this novel.
"New York" is associated with Lin Chaoyang because of "China on the Tip of the Tongue". In the second week of the "Buying Furniture Faber" in Dallas, a book review appeared in the magazine.
In this title "
: In the absurd ruins, one of the ace contributors of "New Yorker", one of the ace contributors of the New Yorker, Anbiti, a well -known American short story writer, wrote:
"..- The background of the adaptation of real events makes" Dallas Buy Furniture and Furniture "permeate the taste of realism, but it is even more fascinating to be the unique modernist style.
In Lin’s pen, the protagonist Ron is full of flaws, but there is a kind of vitality that grows wanton.
