Chapter 223 "The Three-Body Problem"!

"Hey, hello...it's Da Fei, what!?? Have you written the third part of "The Three-Body Problem"?..."

In the publishing house.

Editor Kang hung up the phone with a look of disbelief on his face.

The first time he came into contact with Da Fei was because of "The Beginning". It wasn't until "The Three-Body Problem" came out that he started to really become interested in Da Fei.

Editor Kang was very curious.

What kind of person can write a masterpiece like "The Three-Body Problem"?

And it’s two parts at once.

With an in-depth understanding of Da Fei, Editor Kang was more and more shocked that it was indescribable.

"Being a guitarist, the lead singer of a band, a composer who can be called the best gold-medal arranger in the country, traveling in major variety shows..."

It's hard to imagine that one person can have so many identities at the same time.

Singing, cross talk, sketches, plus the constant submissions received by the publishing house, it seems that there is nothing he can't do.

Just take "The Three-Body Problem" as an example.

A science fiction masterpiece with a grand background and far-reaching implications.

Even writers who have been immersed in literature for many years have to constantly think about it and polish it repeatedly before they can write it.

But how old is Da Fei this year?

Specifically, how long has it been since he sent himself the first two volumes of "The Three-Body Problem"?

If I remember correctly.

Editor Kang had only received the news in the first few days that Dafei and the Liangyin Media crew went to Guangdong to shoot the new drama.

In the blink of an eye, the third part of "The Three-Body Problem" was written and sent to him?

Editor Kang sighed silently and shook his head.

if you can.

He really wanted to get into Da Fei's mind and see what this guy was thinking about all day long.

I sighed for a long time.

Editor Kang clicked on the document he just received in his mailbox and read along.

"The third part of "The Three-Body Problem", the God of Death is immortal."

…

Editor Kang sat in his office and watched it all day long.

I was so absorbed that I even forgot to go out for lunch.

It wasn't until sunset that Editor Kang was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

"Enter."

The person who came was Feng Jian, an employee of Editor Kang.

"Editor Kang, are you busy?"

Editor Kang finally stopped reading when he saw the person coming.

"It's Xiao Feng, you're here just in time! How are the printing and distribution data of the first two parts of "The Three-Body Problem"?"

"Editor Kang, I came to you just to talk about this."

"The first two volumes of "The Three-Body Problem" have now been printed and distributed in total over three million copies across the country, and the market is booming."

"Look, should we increase the circulation?"

Director Kang banged the table in excitement.

"Add! Must add!"

"At the same time, we need to promote it on the package cover, saying that the last part of "The Three-Body Problem" is being printed, and pre-sales will start in advance."

Feng Jian was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"You mean, the third part of "The Three-Body Problem" has been written?"

"That's right."

Editor Kang nodded slightly and pointed to the computer on the desktop.

"marvelous!"

Feng Jian was as excited as Editor Kang.

He is not only an employee of the publishing house, but also an avid fan of "The Three-Body Problem".

The world depicted in the book is bizarre and bizarre, and all kinds of incredible settings deeply attracted him.

Feng Jian decided.

I will post the news about the third part of "The Three-Body Problem" in the book club later.

As the saying goes, having fun alone is not as good as having fun together.

I have good news to share with you all!

However, that's all.

Even though as an employee of the publishing house he could have a sneak peek in advance, he could not reveal any of the contents of the book to the outside world.

Otherwise, you will be legally responsible.

…

The news that the final chapter of "The Three-Body Problem" was about to be released immediately caused an uproar.

After the preparation of the previous two parts, word-of-mouth continued to ferment, and the popularity of the book "Three-Body" on the Internet has remained high.

Even Lin Chudong, the creator, has no idea how popular "The Three-Body Problem" is now.

Whether it is students studying in school or working overtime every day, the most popular topic now is "Three-Body".

If you haven’t seen it, you don’t even have anything to brag about with others.

Just looking at the number of physical books printed proves nothing.

Firstly, due to insufficient initial printing and distribution, a large number of offline bookstores were out of stock.

Secondly, because many people have the habit of borrowing and exchanging books, a large number of people have become fans of "The Three-Body Problem" even if they have not purchased the physical book.

Calculate roughly.

There are at least tens of millions of readers affected by "The Three-Body Problem".

And as time goes by, the number of fans who have read "The Three-Body Problem" will increase significantly.

In the fan base.

Xiaowan saw the news that the final step of "The Three-Body Problem" was about to be released, and immediately clicked on the link in the group to make an appointment in advance through online channels.

When the new books and periodicals are printed, you can directly pick them up with your real name at the nearest bookstore.

There are many benefits to pre-sales like this.

It can be promoted in advance and makes it easier for readers to purchase.

The most important thing is.

The printing house can also print books at its discretion based on the pre-sale quantity.

but.

Not all books can be pre-sold in this way.

If the reader base is not large enough, even advance pre-sale promotion will have no effect, but it will only bring shame to oneself.

Then, Xiaowan forwarded the message to all the people around her who were following "The Three-Body Problem".

She was afraid that someone didn't know about the advance pre-sale of the last part of "The Three-Body Problem".

After doing all this, Xiaowan sat on the small bed in the dormitory with full expectation, muttering.

"I really hope it can be printed earlier."

...

Lin Chudong from the figure crew also noticed the news of the advance pre-sale of the publisher and smiled knowingly.

These people are good at marketing.

It seems that he doesn't have to worry about the sales of "The Three-Body Problem".

Not far away.

Liang Yin walked towards Lin Chudong with a mobile phone.

"Da Fei, someone wants to talk to you about the copyright cooperation of "The Three-Body Problem".

When handing the mobile phone to Lin Chudong, Liang Yin deliberately lowered the volume and added in a low voice.

"From the meaning of the other party, it seems that he is also an author who writes books."

Hearing this, Lin Chudong couldn't help but smile.

A sense of déjà vu.

It can't be another self-righteous sand sculpture like Zhou Shifang, right?

Then he picked up the phone.

"Hello, I'm Dafei."

"Hello, I'm Li Chunsheng, a writer like you."

At least the person on the other end of the phone was not as aggressive as Zhou Shifang.

On the contrary.

The other party's tone sounded quite polite, at least it made people feel the willingness to negotiate.

"It's like this, I founded a film and television company, and my main business is to remake some novels with commercial potential..."

In fact, after hearing this, Lin Chudong no longer had any desire to continue the communication.

What is "commercial potential"?

Hearing the other party's wording, he really regarded him as a white man who knew nothing.

Anyone who is not a fool knows that the IP of the "Three-Body" series has huge commercial value.

How can it be covered by a plain "commercial potential"?

The person who can say this is probably a shameless person.

Although he was very contemptuous in his heart, out of politeness, Lin Chudong waited until the other party finished speaking before speaking.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any intention of selling the copyright of "The Three-Body Problem."

Hearing this, Li Chunsheng on the other end of the phone suddenly became anxious.

"The Three-Body Problem" is definitely the most popular novel on the market now.

In addition to the huge world view in it, once it is remade into a film and television, it is bound to become a hit and a sensation.

Otherwise, he would not bother to ask the publisher for Dafei's contact information.

"Dafei, don't be so decisive."

"Maybe you will change your mind after listening to my offer."

Lin Chudong was about to refuse, but the price was already quoted on the phone.

"Three million!"

"According to the current market conditions, I am willing to pay three million to buy out the film and television copyright of the first two parts of "The Three-Body Problem". If the subsequent response is good, the price can still rise."

"Three million?"

Lin Chudong laughed angrily.

The income from physical books alone is more than three million, not to mention the copyright of adapted film and television.

The income from film and television is not comparable to that of physical books.

Once it is remade, the expected profit of 30 million will not be stopped.

How did the other party offer such a price?

Li Chunsheng on the other end of the phone thought that Lin Chudong was attracted by his offer, and hurriedly said.

"That's right, it's three million! As long as you agree to transfer the film and television copyright, I will immediately let the finance department pay you the money!"

For such a shameless guy, Lin Chudong was too lazy to flatter the other party and made his attitude clear.

"Stop it, you are a fool sent by the monkey!"

"You want to take away the film and television copyright of "The Three-Body Problem" from me for only three million? I tell you that there is no way!"

Lin Chudong choked him.

Li Chunsheng knew that he could not get the film and television copyright of "The Three-Body Problem", so he simply stopped pretending.

"Giving you three million to purchase the copyright is a compliment to you. Do you really think you write well?"

"Isn't it just to be unconventional and come up with some unrealistic things? You only know how to fantasize and daydream all day long, without any cultural background or cultural depth!"

"For industrial garbage like this, I can't buy the copyright even if you beg me!"

Is this broken?

Across the phone, Lin Chudong wished he could see the spit flying on the other side.

He didn't say anything.

Seeing Lin Chudong's innocent expression, Liang Yin beside him laughed.

It seemed that he heard the laughter, and Li Chunsheng on the other end of the phone became more and more furious, and his curses became more and more unpleasant.

Lin Chudong was too lazy to bother with such a person, and hung up the phone directly.

Liang Yin laughed even more unscrupulously when he saw the phone hung up.

"There are really all kinds of people in this group of literary creation. First there was Zhou Shifang, and then there was Li Chunsheng."

Lin Chudong shrugged and said.

"Who knows where so many weirdos come from? These two people are simply a shame to the author circle."

The two talked and laughed, and no one took the phone call just now to heart.

Little did they know.

Li Chunsheng, who was hung up, was furious. Just like Zhou Shifang, he turned on the computer and wrote a short essay.

Criticizing the "Three-Body" series of books.
