Chapter 117, the book market really has a new star

Two flowers bloomed, each with one branch. Just as Alice began to make suggestions for the development of Cisco, the entire American literary world was also quietly changing.

"Jurassic Park", this novel that came out of nowhere, has been on the New York Times best-selling rankings for a long time since its release in November last year.

In fact, as early as the 1930s, this bestseller ranking has been criticized for a long time. It seems to have a natural and sacred magic, crowning a good or bad book, which has attracted readers to it. But in fact, many people can feel a little ambiguous from the official replies of the newspaper.

"We select some book dealers nationwide and use the data they provide to rank. As for what these dealers are, we cannot say."

Of course there are many benefits of being on the list, from publishing companies to the general public, everyone stares at it. If a writer is the author of a fictional work and is on the list, he will make a steady stream of manuscripts and print them all over the course of time. If it is non-fiction, especially commercial related, is there still less worry about speeches, training, and consultation in the future? Being on the list means more exposure, higher reputation, etc., there is no doubt about these.

Therefore, at this time, a secret business appeared, which was to wash the list.

To summarize the steps briefly, the first step is to find a book washing company and pay them. Then pay them again. This time, it is to pay for the book purchase, and the company starts to help with the book washing. Of course, it is not possible for writers to buy large quantities of themselves, so the company's approach is to hire workers across the United States, take their own measures at major dealers, and use different delivery and payment addresses to buy books. In this way, "single consumption" rather than "large purchases" are completed.

Then, as the best-selling author, he was qualified to show the smile of an elder on the list...

So, when a new book like "Jurassic Park" was suddenly released, many book companies and industry insiders continued to issue statements, claiming that the author of the book, Alice Wang, must have been on the list, otherwise why would he stay on the list for so long?

Logically speaking, the writer himself should show up at this time. Whether it is refuting the other party’s speech or emphasizing his innocence, even if he admits that he has indeed been banned from the list, they should generally show up. After all, people like writers are very fond of reputation, and no matter what their reputation is, as long as they are famous... they must promote sales, right?

But what surprised many industry insiders was that the writer was really... very alternative.

I only left my personal name on the book, not even a photo, let alone an introduction; there was no new book launch conference, no on-site signing activities, only the salesperson's standard smiley face; I did not accept any interviews, interviews, and information programs, although the works themselves are being printed, and even the overseas version has been translated into several versions...

But all those who are interested were surprised to find that the writer was completely invisible.

Even the bantam made an official statement, saying that the other party was indeed a very low-key person, and there was only one editor in the company contacting her, and the other party handed over almost all the specific matters to the company.

Of course, many media have also made many speculations, such as the "Ghost Record" not long ago. Many media are comparing the director with the writer. They have not appeared, they have only one name, and the names are the same. Even the crew members once revealed that his real body is a little girl...

However, no matter how sensation is, the other party has not appeared despite this. Any gossip will disappear with time and can only stay on the page for a while.

However, people in the entire entertainment industry still remembered her, Alice Wang, who was so mysterious that she was in her heart.

"Hey, have you heard that girl has released a new book."

"That Jurassic Park author? It's not surprising. After all, this book has been on the best-selling list for so long. What's there in her?"

"The first promotion of the bantam, the vampire love story, and there are suspense and thrillers!"

"You are kidding, who would fall in love with a monster like a vampire!? Are you sure you are not mistaken. Didn't the evil vampire snatch the fiancee of the protagonist of the witcher?"

"It's true! And it seems to be an atmosphere like... a young first love. In short, you'll know it when you go and take a look!"

Such a conversation was first spread in half of the American book industry. God knows how many industry people are staring at the rankings. They have been drooling at Alice's lower novel for a long time. When the Bantam Book Company finally released the news, countless bees looked like they smelled the most fragrant flowers in the world, and all of them focused their attention.

Harry is one of them.

"Oh my God, why am I so stupid? I'm just going to have the bookstore mail it to my door next time?"

One afternoon, Harry, who had just woken up for a while, walked on Manhattan Street, complaining while heading towards the target bookstore. The dressing of sandwiches, flowery shorts and cartoon T-shirts was not very eye-catching, but any pedestrian had to retreat when he saw his flowing head and medium-length hair that smelled strong sweat.

"I have to go out when I get up... Why do I have to go out obediently? Oh damn it, I earn all the credits early to avoid getting up early, why do I have to cause trouble for myself?"

Although he complained, when Harry finally walked to the door of the target bookstore, he immediately widened his eyes with sleepy eyes.

Just at the door, the half-person-high Rolla is painted with white snow, and a boy and a girl stand with their backs facing each other, forming an extremely beautiful picture. In the second volume of this Rolla page, the designer unexpectedly chose bright red English fonts to form a slightly dark title.

Let-the-right-one-in, by-Alice-Wong.

This is the girl’s new book, Harry frowned: “Don’t you talk about vampire love? What’s the point of standing together for two boys and girls?”

Of course there were more than one or two people like him. Just as Harry finished speaking, another person stood beside him: "I found it, Alice finally released a new book! Vampire love, haha, it's cool to think about it!"

Harry looked at the man, a typical black hippie: "Cool? You already know what this book is about?"

The hippie stared at him: "Oh buddy, what a joke, do you think I have a 3-fold in my hand? Or do you think I am Alice's boyfriend and have read her unpublished manuscript? Oh buddy, if you really think I am Alice's boyfriend, I won't deny it, but..."

Harry hurried into the bookstore.

"Hey, mom, what does this sentence mean?"

The bookstore was filled with people. As soon as Harry came in, he heard the 3-fold page of a blond girl beside him, pointing to the top of the inner page and asking.

Harry saw the contents with sharp eyes.

【Oscar, if I were not a girl, would you still like me?】

The girl then asked, "Why did she say she was not a girl?"

When the mother smiled slightly, she touched her daughter's head and said, "This means that the girl is a vampire, and has a racial estrangement from that boy. Look, Emily, if you are a vampire but fall in love with a little human boy, would you ask such a question?"

Little Emily is not old, frowning and pouting, as if thinking about the difficult and profound secrets of the birth of the universe, with a look of embarrassment: "This...this...oh, it's really a headache!"

Harry burst into laughter, walked by, and picked up a three-fold page from the shelf.

Although I don’t know how the author came up with the idea, and I don’t know how the plot will develop, Harry was really surprised after seeing this very long plot summary on the third page.

"The first time when the heartbeat occurs is often earlier than we remember."

After the first sentence of beauty, there is the content that continues.

"Many years later, Oscar may not care who Abby is and how their future will end, but he will always remember the moonlight night he first met. Her small thin figure, long black hair, and cold and bright eyes made a warm current suddenly rise to his long-lasting heart."

"It is probably the innate talent of some people, and only the story will be produced."

"She only appears at night. The wind is cold, but she wears only a thin piece of pink. Her skin is as thin as a celadon, like a child, and her slight behavior is old and vicissitudes. She is so beautiful and clear, but she often exudes an unpleasant odor."

"Oscar was strongly attracted by this weird girl, and shared her favorite Rubik's Cube with her, and taught her to use Morse Code to communicate words only they understand."

"Before meeting, he was lonely and cowardly, shrunk under the shadow of violence on campus. She was lonely and stubborn, struggling in the world in frightened and in a hurry. He felt the happiness that was cherished for the first time, and she also felt the warmth and attachment of the world from him."

"Oscar noticed Abby's occasional hideousness. He admired her amazing beauty and unusual aging, was sad because of her alienation, and was angry because of her avoidance. He did not expect that the terrifying murders that continued to appear in the town were all related to the thin elf-like girl around him."

"A secret that has been buried for two hundred years is finally going to be broad."

Standing on the first floor of the buzzing bookstore, there were crowds of people wandering around, but Harry couldn't help but fall into it as he looked at the almost beautiful little article on the three-fold page.

"This story...is not simple!"
