Seeing so much, Yu Dong remembered what Cao Yang said before, that the serialization could be ended early and the single volume could be taken over to boost the sales of the single volume.
This happened only once when the novel "The Fantasy River During the Qingming Festival" was published later. At that time, "The Fantasy River During the Qingming Festival" was serialized for a period of time in "Grudge" and the response was very good. However, later the magazine suddenly stopped serializing it and asked the publisher to
Once a stand-alone book is published, readers who want to see the later parts have to read the stand-alone book.
This incident also caused dissatisfaction among many readers.
Yu Dong rejected Cao Yang's proposal because he didn't want to offend readers just because of the sales volume.
Of course, Yu Dongneng doesn't care because he has capital, and others may not be able to do it.
After sitting in Zhao Changtian's office for a while, Yu Dong stood up and left.
"I send you."
"You are welcome."
Zhao Changtian sent him out anyway. The two of them left the office, only to find Zhao Yan guarding the door.
"At--"
Zhao Yan saw Yu Dong first and was about to say hello with a happy face. Then he saw his father coming out and was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.
"I didn't teach you well and I made you laugh."
Yu Dong waved his hand, "Child."
…
The fact that YU is going to New York to hold a book signing event has become very popular due to Jimmy's operation.
Of course, this is not due to Jimmy alone.
Universal Pictures wants to promote the "Second World" movie, so they have to do their part. Bantam has to sell books, so of course they can't be idle.
Especially after Jimmy expressed his dissatisfaction before, Bantam is now promoting Dong's works much harder than before.
In fact, the biggest winner this time should be Little Bear Bookstore.
Bantam picked several places for Jimmy to choose from, and Jimmy finally chose Bear Bookstore.
The reason why I chose it is naturally because it is a cooperative bookstore of the YU Umbrella Book Club.
And although it is called Little Bear Bookstore, it is definitely not small. According to its scale, it can be ranked among the top 20 in New York. It is completely possible to host a book signing.
However, store manager Hal still made a lot of preparations for this autograph session.
He first cleared a space on the second floor to display YU books, and set up a communication area for book fans. This was naturally to show that the bookstore valued YU, and also to strengthen cooperation with the YU Umbrella Reading Club.
After that, he found someone to make a huge poster and planned to hang it outside the bookstore the night before the book signing, so that passers-by could see the information about the book signing from a long distance away.
Not only that, he tried all the pens used in the autograph session one by one, and each pen was specially customized with a serial number engraved on it.
When the time comes, you will exchange one after signing 100 copies. These pens will be kept and can be kept in the store as souvenirs or used as gifts for purchasing books.
Because YU is Chinese, he also contacted the most famous Chinese restaurant nearby to ensure that YU could eat delicious meals that day.
In addition, there are many details that Hal has thought of. These days, his mind is filled with things about the autograph session.
That day, when Haines arrived at the bookstore, Hal was squatting on the ground playing with a panda-shaped stand.
Harnes smiled and said: "Hal, what are you doing?"
Hal looked up at Hanes and said, "YU is coming, and I'm going to make some things with Chinese elements to make him feel like he's going home when he comes."
"Hal, do you think YU will feel at home when he sees a panda?" Harnes said with a smile: "As far as I know, Chinese people don't have many opportunities to see pandas themselves."
"Really?" Hal was stunned, "I heard that in China, if you make outstanding contributions to society, you can raise pandas."
"Pandas are protected animals. How can they be kept by private individuals? Where did you hear that?"
"In the newspaper."
Haines rolled his eyes. After all, Hal was also a bookstore manager, so he believed this kind of news.
Hearing what Hans said, Hal was not going to get any more pandas. He took Hans to find a place to sit down, and made Hans a cup of coffee: "Hans, you came at the right time, you are a member of the book club.
President, you should know YU very well. What do you think of the preparations in our store? Is there anything that needs to be improved?"
"You have come to the wrong person for this matter. I don't know YU at all. I only know his works. In fact, you don't have to worry so much. Although the book signing will be at your bookstore, the organizer is still Universal Pictures.
They will do whatever they need. After all, they are in direct contact with YU, and YU will tell them if he needs anything."
Hal touched his forehead, "I know, but I just can't rest assured. This is a good opportunity, an opportunity to make our bookstore famous. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you all. I understand, if it weren't for your reading club,
There is no way they would hold the autograph session in our bookstore."
"You're welcome, we have a cooperative relationship."
In fact, Haines didn't know much about this matter, but he naturally accepted Hal's thanks.
"Hans, what do you think-" Hal spoke again, "How many people will come to the autograph session on the day? The publicity is so strong this time, there should be a lot of people coming, right?"
Harnes smiled. He knew that Bear Bookstore had suddenly purchased 5,000 copies of "The Second World" from Bantam. Hal was asking now because he was worried about whether these books could be sold.
Because Bantam gave them a discount, these books cannot be returned even if they cannot be sold.
Of course, if you can't sell it, you can transfer it to other bookstores, but this will save you a lot of money, and it will also strain your funds.
"Don't worry, hundreds of people will come to our book club alone. Just for us, you can sell more than a thousand copies at a guaranteed price."
When Harnes said this, Hal felt relieved: "You don't have to sell out all the five thousand copies. If you can sell more than three thousand copies, the financial pressure will be relieved, and the remaining ones can be sold slowly."
"Your worries are completely unnecessary. I heard that YU sold nearly 2,000 copies at a book signing event held in China. The New York market is so good, how can it be less than there?" Hanes laughed.
.
"I heard that the new book was just released that time."
In fact, Hal is so worried mainly because this autograph session is only for "The Second World". If it is when a new book is just released, or if it is not limited to any book, Hal is not worried at all. These books will definitely not be sold.
question.
"The Second World" is currently the best-selling film, and it has been selling for such a long time. Especially after the news that Spielberg was going to make it into a movie, sales surged in a short period of time.
Now many people around me have bought the book, and those who have already bought the book will most likely not come to attend the book signing again.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be fine, trust me."
