Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 33 Sales are hot

"Boss, the publisher's side, the sales statistics are in!"

Ivoni Bernard, who had just returned from a vacation in Japan and hadn't fully woken up from the tenderness, quickly handed the sales figures of Random House to Peyton.

"One million in half a month!"

"It's been released for 25 days, and the cumulative sales are 190 million copies. Boss, the Original Sin series will definitely become your masterpiece!"

Ivoni Bernard said, looking extremely excited, no one understood better than him what this data represented.

From the perspective of a professional, it is very responsible to say that this data basically means that this work will inevitably reach the top of the sales list in New York.

Even staying at the top for a full year isn't out of the question.

This year in the entire federation, this novel is the best!

Peyton's most popular books before should be two, one is "The Devil's Personality" and the other is "The Poet's Secret", both of which have become popular.

When the former was released, Payton was just a newcomer. Later, he was blessed by the halo of genius and reached the top of the list for a short period of time, which only lasted for two weeks.

And "The Poet's Secret" was appreciated by feminists, staying at the top of the list for [-] consecutive weeks.

Compared with "Original Sin: Empire of Money", the gap between these two books is very obvious. "Original Sin: Empire of Money" airborne to the top of the list, and even in its current form, it will even last for a whole year. This is the sensation brought about by the original sin series.

Peyton was relatively calm when he heard the words, not that he was not excited, but the excitement had passed.

Naturally, his news channels are better than Ivoni Bernard's. Even before Random House had completed the statistics, a friend who was in charge of the front-line book sales called him and told him about this book. Books will be a blast!
While Ivoni Bernard was still on vacation in Japan, other publishers had quietly approached Peyton.

They collected information through their respective channels, and vaguely revealed to Peyton that the sales of books in the United States should exceed one million copies, and it had only been released for less than half a month at that time.

These days, the reaction of the outside world has also verified the popularity of the novel.

Up to now, countless newspapers and periodicals have made appointments with Payton, and the Times and the New York Times have also sent out invitations, intending to make Payton a cover character.

It can be said that this time, Peyton's new work is particularly successful. To a certain extent, this work has jumped out of the field of detective reasoning and created a pure crime novel, which has caused a huge sensation!
Even in the free air, it was the first time for the people of the Federation to see the real "Legendary Criminal".

In comparison, those robbers, arms dealers, and gangster drug dealers are simply weak!
The birth of Mr. Duke, the master of the money empire, completely shocked the entire Federation. This is the first time someone portrays such a legendary criminal, and it is still a "counterfeit money industry" with a relatively high threshold.

Front page of The New York Times - "Legendary Criminal Who Shocked the World, Builder of Money Empire"

Front page of Chicago Weekly——"Please witness, Mr. Duke, the great philanthropist in the history of American fiction"

Launder to become legendary criminal of banking magnate.

The Birth of the Counterfeit Empire!
An international philanthropist, the philanthropist who created the International Youth Relief Program, and the implementer of the social security program of the Federal Welfare Institute.

These crazy scenes that the predecessors could not have imagined appeared in Peyton's pen, causing everyone to go crazy.

It can be said that Peyton's book has shocked the industry, and even some authors of detective novels are already considering whether to write crime-themed novels. It seems that everyone likes this type of novel.

The best-selling of the previous books, coupled with the explosion of original sin, has made many publishers unable to bear the excitement, and came directly to contact Peyton.

You must know that Original Sin is a series!
A series, coupled with Payton's writing speed, there is no doubt that this will become a steady stream of gold mines.

All publishers are jealous, University of Chicago Press, New York Press, Washington Press... Countless publishers have contacted Peyton, and no one is willing to give up such a golden mountain.

They were countless times crazier than before, trying every means and using various means to contact Peyton, promising various good conditions.

Because Original Sin is a series of works, and it is a series of works that have exploded, signing Payton is tantamount to turning on the money printing machine.

According to the current situation, the sales volume of "Original Sin: Empire of Money" this year is likely to exceed [-] million

No, in the eyes of many people, it must be more than ten million!
Such a novel, one volume is three books of others.

Some organizations are already making budget estimates. This year alone, "Original Sin: Empire of Money" can completely earn Random House 2000 million.

What is this concept?
For example, last year's taxes in Analabama were equal to that figure.

Although Anabama is relatively backward, this number is still extremely enviable.

This amount of money was enough to cause everyone to go crazy, so after the excitement passed, Payton even panicked, panicking about his safety.

The Commonwealth has never been safe, freedom is not a place outside the law, and too many outlaws are filling the air of freedom.

Considering the current situation, the size of Payton's regular bodyguards has become 12 people, all of whom are armed veterans with legal licenses to hold guns.

And usually, Payton stays in the office of the factory, next to the police station, and there are dozens of security guards patrolling the factory!
"Boss, Random House requests to cooperate with the second round of publicity. At the same time, the adaptation of our promotional novel based on real events has also attracted the attention of many media. The publishing house thinks this is a good breakthrough!"

"Next, we need to cooperate with the interviews of various newspapers, and at the same time strengthen publicity. Readers are very interested in Duke's prototype, which will be one of our publicity priorities."

When Payton heard this, he couldn't help nodding his head to create heat. If he could carry out a "Finding Mr. Duke's Prototype" campaign, it would become popular across the United States.

There is no doubt that this is of great benefit to the sales of books.

Payton said: "These corresponding promotions, as long as you take the initiative to make an appointment, I will cooperate!"

After thinking about it, Payton said, "I have an idea!"

Ivoni Bernard looked at his boss with unstoppable excitement in his eyes.

"Can you contact the TV station and ask them to plan a program for decryption?"

"Deciphered?" Ivoni Bernard was a little puzzled.

Peyton explained: "About the technology of counterfeit banknotes in the book, the inside story of money laundering, the feasibility of criminal means...even the prototype positioning of Mr. Duke, and the analysis can even be carried out in the mode of biography. For declassification, professionals from the FBI and experts and scholars in related fields can be invited to be the keynote speakers of the program.”

"Genius idea!" Ivoni Berner couldn't help exclaiming, it's crazy to open up a program to market books!

It sounds a bit whimsical, but the feasibility is very high!
The popularity of "Original Sin: Empire of Money" can be seen all over the United States. Everyone is very interested in this book, including the characters in the book, and even the author.

All the media are not blind, they will only pay for things that people are interested in and will pay for, like flies.

If it is used to develop a program, the TV station will not refuse it. The popularity represents the pursuit of advertisers, and no one will refuse money!
At the same time, for the FBI, this is also a good opportunity to market itself.

The current director of the FBI is named Edgar Hoover. He is the founder of the FBI and a hero who has been in power for nearly half a century. This person is very good at marketing.

The FBI is now labeled as safe, reliable, and professional... As an intelligence and secret service agency, it has been built into a star agency in the United States, and it is inseparable from this figure.

"Also, if Random House asks about the next book, you can postpone it by a day or two!"

Ivoni Bernard nodded knowingly. People are profit-seeking. It seems that the first book of the Original Sin series became popular, which gave his boss some other ideas.

Gotta pay more!
Of course, the boss may not be satisfied with the price. The image of Peyton in the eyes of Ivoni Bernard is a genius writer and capitalist.

Sometimes the "prodigy" label of outsider marketing is not important to Ivoni Bernard. The more you get in touch with Payton, the more you can feel the rigor of his actions and thinking, which makes people subconsciously ignore his age .

Speaking of which, his boss may have completely left Random House and started his own publishing house. Ivoni Bernard remembered that his boss not only entered the leather market, but now, there is also a printing factory In the name of his own boss.

After all, no one is willing to give up the meat in their bowl.

As for whether it will be able to regain the previous momentum after getting rid of Random House, objectively speaking, it will be worse, after all, the background of Random House lies there.

But the sales volume is the best guarantee. With the fame and popularity of the first book, when the second book is released, there will be distributors paying for it. At the same time, as long as there is the first book, there will be a second book. Every publisher is like this Get up, the channel is also well established!
With the Original Sin series ahead, a new publishing house is at hand.

This thought flashed in his mind, and Ivoni Bernard couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

I have to say that his heart was moved at this time. As the manager of his own boss, the first veteran, the most loyal subordinate, and the person in charge of the publishing house, who else would I be?
Greeting Ivoni Bernard's eager eyes, at this moment, Peyton did not expect that Ivoni Bernard had already thought of so much.

However, Ivoni Bernard had a good idea, and Payton had this plan, but he was still thinking about the specific form.

Peyton is going to take a look at the attitudes of other publishers, as well as that of Random House, and further judge the choices.

"Boss, don't worry, at Random House, I will deal with it!"

Peyton nodded, and joked again: "A few days ago, several publishers poached me and said they would give me 18% royalties!"

When Yvonne Bernard heard this, he immediately dismissed it. If he could be a capitalist, who would want to be an author honestly?
We all know the value of the Original Sin series, why should we divide the meat?
Peyton continued: "If there are other publishers who contact you, keep silent and don't refuse or agree, I would like to know how much I am worth now!"

"By the way, spreading the information about these publishers will also give the Mr. Random House some tension."

Hearing Peyton's words and sensing the meaning, Ivoni Berner was a little confused. Could it be that he was wrong, the boss just wanted to raise the price?
This is not possible, what future can the author have?
The boss must have a clear mind. With the Original Sin series in hand, starting his own publisher is the best choice.

Yvonne Bernard muses secretly about his dream of running a major publishing house for himself.

　I drank some wine yesterday, and forgot to set up the sending manuscript in advance. I will add another chapter as an apology.
