As Mu Shanshan reappears on China TV and "Cultural Interview" becomes formal, her influence in society is getting bigger and bigger, and being invited back to her alma mater is just one of the things.

There is also a publishing house asking her to write a book and prepare for publication.

In the past two years, famous people have become popular in China, and Liu Xiaoqing is undoubtedly the pioneer.

In 1983, she wrote an autobiography called "My Road", which received a great response. It was reproduced by major newspapers in China and was translated into English and German and published abroad.

In 1992, she wrote another book "These Eight Years", describing her life experience over the years. She is very popular in China and Southeast Asia and has been published by the China National Daily Press.

In the past, everyone believed that writing was a writer's business and required a high level of cultural cultivation. Writers were a noble profession.

However, in order to pursue efficiency and increase sales in the publishing industry, best-selling books have become the first choice for publishing houses.

Among the bestsellers, celebrity biographies, especially those in the entertainment industry, are very popular.

This kind of book looks relaxed, not depressed, and has no unusual words or educational significance. Readers are reading the lives and gossip of celebrities.

It was from this time that serious literature was gradually abandoned by readers, books of entertainment and entertainment nature began to occupy the mainstream, and popular literature achieved vigorous development.

After all, China TV is a state unit and has strict requirements for hosts, such as not allowing private jobs in the name of TV hosts, let alone shooting advertisements, etc.

However, there is no clear regulation that the host is not allowed to write books, and writing is personal freedom.

That being said, but no host has written a book yet, mainly because no one has started this.

Everyone's thinking is still very conservative, and they don't know what risks they will face, whether the content they write is limited, whether it can be sold well, and whether they will make mistakes. These are all issues that need to be considered.

The publisher put his ideas on the host.

The influence of the hosts of China TV station among the audience is unquestionable. The sales of the stories written are guaranteed. As for the content written, it is best to be your own story. Don’t involve the TV station, and the publisher doesn’t want to cause trouble.

They found Mu Shanshan and wanted Mu Shanshan to write a book about living in New York.

This is because in the first episode of "Cultural Interview", Mu Shanshan and the crew of "The Capital People in New York" were revealed, and there is a story to write here, and readers will definitely be interested.

Although the tide of "The People of Beijing in New York" has subsided, the story behind the scenes is still very attractive.

Especially when it comes to big stars like Jiang Wen and Wang Ji, what they look like when filming, what interests and hobbies they have, and the real American life will become the gimmicks of this book.

Moreover, during that time in New York, Mu Shanshan was not a host, she would not involve the TV station, and she did not need to worry about being restricted.

In order to attract Mu Shanshan, the publishing house gave 10% royalties.

Since Lin Zixuan broke the monopoly of publishers, the current publishers have to discuss royalties.

At this time, the Chinese law stipulated that the royalties of writers could only be between 8% and 10%. This is a rigid regulation. The royalty system has not been relaxed yet, allowing the market to regulate.

If the price of this book is ten yuan, Mu Shanshan can get one yuan if she sells it, and 1 million yuan if she sells it, it will be 1 million yuan. Of course, this is an ideal sales volume.

According to the publisher's prediction, with the preparation of "The People of Beijing in New York", at least 200,000 copies can be sold, otherwise the publisher would not have tried his best to encourage Mu Shanshan to publish the book.

In other words, Mu Shanshan can get 200,000 yuan in royalties.

"You really want to write it? My writing style is not good and I can't write the meaning. I feel like I'm deceiving readers." Mu Shanshan hesitated.

In Mu Shanshan's eyes, those characters who write world famous works are considered writers.

"Write, why not? Now the market economy is in progress, and the public needs entertainment. Jiang Wen and Wang Ji don't have to worry. I'll say hello to them. You're either writing gossip or writing some interesting things in life." Lin Zixuan said indifferently, "I just don't have fame, otherwise I would have made money by writing an autobiography."

He has no opinion on celebrity publishing books, this is a normal market behavior.

People need entertainment, so this type of book will be popular. This is just the beginning. In the future, it will enter an era of civilian writing. As long as you pick up your pen and write down your own ideas, you may be published.

"Then you have to help me check and don't make jokes." Mu Shanshan asked.

Mu Shanshan was a little moved, it was hundreds of thousands of yuan, not one or two thousand yuan.

With this money, the family's economy will be more prosperous. Lin Zixuan's new company doesn't have to worry about losing money. In the future, children can live a good life. If that's the case, why not write it?

"Don't worry, I will help you watch. Don't care too much about the wording and sentence making. Write it in simpler sentences. The readers you are aimed at are the public, not literary critics." Lin Zixuan reminded.

"I understand, I want to think about it carefully." Mu Shanshan said seriously.

In this way, Mu Shanshan started writing "My 180 Days in the United States".

She started writing in China, why did she go to the United States? Why did Lin Zixuan think about filming "The People in Beijing in New York"? This is their own business. It is very smooth to write it, as if she re-crushed the memory.

The ups and downs of it flow in my heart.

The title of this book was named by Lin Zixuan. It is simple and clear and can attract the public. If you give a very literary name, readers will think it is a serious literature.

In addition to the title of the book, Lin Zixuan also wrote a preface for Mu Shanshan's new book.

His preface is very literary, with the name "Youth, Time is Just Just", and the beginning is like this.

"That summer in 1990, at the Beijing Radio Institute, I stood under the shade of a tree and prepared to confess my love to a girl..."

He wrote 20,000 words in the entire preface, which is more like a super long love letter or a love story in adolescence.

Since we are going to publish a book, we naturally have to disclose their relationship. There is nothing wrong with taking this opportunity to write it out.

Of course, he didn't write everything, but chose some harmless fragments of life to write, which was the beautified life.

Even if it is an autobiography, the author will not write down his true thoughts.

"Your writing is so good, which makes me write very poorly. How can this work?" Mu Shanshan complained.

Mu Shanshan was just complaining, but she was very satisfied. Every bit of it was the common memories of the two of them. This was a book they wrote together and it was very memorable.

Looking back at this book many years later is like reading their past lives.
