Chapter 133: Little Secret Joy

Unpublished... works.

It can be said to have the same meaning as "works that have not been confirmed by the market", which makes it a bit difficult for Thompson, who is focused on picking ripe fruits. In terms of business, at least in his opinion, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is still operable. When it is published overseas, it will be crowned with titles such as "Best-selling Eastern Adventure" and "China's No. 1 Sales Adventure". It can also attract many interested readers to consume.

As for a work that has never been published, if it is a newcomer writer like Li Chungang who has a great reputation in China but is still a blank sheet overseas, Thompson is sure that if he proposes this publishing plan to the The head office in the United States will definitely attract the ridicule of "many people".

This is what Thompson, who is eager to make achievements and make a comeback, doesn't want to see it!

"Mr. Li, can you show me your unpublished works first?"

The good thing is that Li Chungang's published two books have achieved amazing results and accumulated considerable reputation, which made Thompson not directly refuse, but said that he wanted to read the works first before talking.

In fact, on this point, Li Chungang lied a little. He does have unpublished works, and there are as many as the entire [Literary Encyclopedia System] library, but they have not been put into reality. Just a new idea.

This is also the idea that came to Thompson's mind when he asked Li Chungang about the overseas prospect of "Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern".

It is not that there are no publishing houses in China that have the qualifications to publish works overseas. It is said that Manjinghua Publishing Company has this qualification, but its channel range, popularity and overseas strength are of the kind that cannot be put on the table, let alone He Lan. Dengshuwu made a comparison.

Money, after a certain amount, is nothing more than a numbers game.

Li Chungang is not the kind of person who is addicted to extravagance and spends money every day. Even the existing savings are enough to satisfy him for a lifetime. This also prompted him to have the opportunity to start thinking about the pursuit he wants. Published overseas, must not be missed!

For overseas, the pen names of Li Chungang and Zhichun Zhigang are both newcomers, so the first work as a "stepping stone" is very important. This is not only as simple as opening the door to overseas markets for them, but also the first one. A good reputation and accumulated readers brought by a work.

"Produced by Zhichun Zhigang, it must be a high-quality product!"

If one day, this can become Li Chungang's label, then it can show that he has achieved great success.

"I don't carry the work with me,

It may not be possible to show it to Mr. Thompson now, but I can have someone email the content to me tomorrow, and then I will bring the content of the new book to your Random House Shanghai branch to discuss in detail the day after tomorrow. What do you think? "

"no problem!"

Although Thompson was a little puzzled why the other party took two days to send such a simple email, it also coincided with him who woke up and couldn't be in a hurry. After today's home visit, he It also takes a little time to reposition the overseas publishing prospects of the book "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

if you can......

Thompson also wants to ask his old colleague at the headquarters in the United States to conduct a simple data survey for "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in the United States. It does not need to consume too much manpower and material resources. It takes only one day to find random people on random streets. people ask the same question: If there was a book that told the story of the mysterious oriental adventure, would you be willing to pay for it?

If so, why?

If not, why?

Don't look at this as a simple general survey, but it can reflect real problems very intuitively and well! I have to say that at this time, Thompson also realized how naive his previous behavior was. He didn't have any preparations in the early stage. When he saw the great success of this book in China, he immediately wanted to bring it to China. go abroad.

Fortunately, it is not too late to remedy the situation.

There is an eight-hour time difference between China and the United States. After leaving the hotel, Thompson plans to immediately contact his trusted colleagues in the United States and ask them to find a few people to complete a one-day general survey. Convene all employees to re-negotiate and measure the commercial value of publishing overseas.

"Then I have nothing else to say, so I'll take my leave first. I look forward to your wonderful work the day after tomorrow!"

"necessary!"

After Li Chungang sent Mr. Thompson out of the room and returned to the room, he stared curiously at the beauty who was silent the whole time and was mistaken by him as coming with Thompson. It’s okay to say that I didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now that I look at it so seriously, the part of the outline and figure exposed from the other party, the more I look at it, the more it gives him a feeling of déjà vu, like I’ve seen it somewhere.

The voice also sounded familiar, and the body and appearance were similar. When the two and two were multiplied together, Li Chungang was sure that his judgment was correct. He must have seen this well-covered beauty before, so he asserted: "There is nothing but I only have you, and your disguise is completely unnecessary. And I dare say that we must have met each other before, and you give me a sense of familiarity, which I can't judge wrong!"

"Sorry, I got used to it and forgot it." Jin Chen said while explaining the disguise he was wearing.

The peaked cap was taken off, and the jet-black short hair, which was as long as the neck, fell down; the wide sunglasses and black mask were taken off, and the melon-seeded face represented by the embryo of an oriental beauty matched the delicate facial features.

"Jin Chen!?"

In fact, at the moment when the opponent's sunglasses were half removed and his eyes were exposed, Li Chungang almost recognized that the opponent was Jin Chen, one of the special award presenters who appeared at the Golden Bookmark Awards Gala last night, but what he couldn't figure out was that Why did the other party pretend to be like this and come to his room with Thompson.

And looking at the situation now, Jin Chen's purpose of coming to find Li Chungang is obviously not the same as Thompson's!

"If some dog team finds out about this, the actress Jin Chen enters the hotel alone and shares a room with a strange man alone..."

Li Chungang can already imagine that it will immediately become the headline news of major entertainment copyrights without waiting until tomorrow. Fortunately, Jin Chen is experienced and well-disguised, and he has not been discovered by anyone on this journey.

"Miss Jin Chen came to see me for something?"

For an actress like Jin Chen with good looks, figure and reputation to appear so close in front of Li Chungang, to be honest, this is still a kind of experience that has never been seen before the age of twenty. Had the feeling.

It should be said that the tension is mixed with a little bit of joy that all men understand!
