Chapter 564 Exaggerated Sales(1/3)
After the news was broadcast, Tao Yushu also called the waiter to broadcast the TV on the Chinese station of Star Satellite TV. This restaurant installed smuggled satellite antennas.
"This is the TV station you acquired?"
"yes."
"There are more than 200 billion!" Comrade Tian murmured.
"There are more than 200 billion. To maintain the operation of the TV station, you have to invest one billion in each year. Otherwise, I will not rush to land in China.
We are satellite television stations that can radiate the entire Asia. If you are only trapped, it is a heavenly thing. "
Tao Yushu's words are both highlighting strength, but also reminding the leadership of this TV station.
A country not only needs military power, the economy is hard power, but also the soft power of cultural and ideological output.
It is unrealistic to expect the TV station to undertake this task from the domestic soil to the slag. Star TV is a very clever carrier.
Tao Yushu believes that at this point, she should be able to reach some consensus with certain leaders.
Star Satellite TV cannot be discussed in China, but it is a kind of assistance in China.
Therefore, Tao Yushu can also be regarded as a complaint. After listening, Tian Tongzhi did not rush to express his position, but instead watching TV silently.
After dinner, the two left each of their subordinates.
Comrade Tian will stay in Guangdong for a few days, and Tao Yushu will go to Yanjing to work with Comrade Ai "report". The meeting between the two is a tacit understanding.
For more than a week on a business trip, Tao Yushu finally returned to Xiangjiang.
This week, she was busy with her, first met with Comrade Tian, and then entered Beijing to fight for the Domestic Film and Television Department to fight for Star Satellite TV.
I also inspected the situation of "Farewell My Concubine" co -produced by Lin and the Mainland: "Red Cliff War" and "Chinese Hero" and other movies.
At present, the fastest progress is "Farewell My Concubine". This film has been prepared since the previous year. It has been filmed in the middle of this year, and the production of later production is also over.
The film Tao Yushu also watched it. The standard was amazing and her expectations were very high. However, Chen Huaikai made a lot of effort. It was the so -called fighting brothers.
Tao Yushu has already told Chen Kaigo. "Farewell My Concubine" will sign up for the Cannes Film Festival next year.
It can also be regarded as Chen Kaigo's Cannes.
Director Xie Jin's "Chibi War" is slower than expected. From the beginning of spring, it has not been filmed yet. Xie Jin's creative attitude is excellent. It seems that it will be faster to be released in the second half of next year.
The progress of the animated film "Chinese Heroes" is quite satisfactory. It should not be a problem to be released as scheduled.
When I got home, I talked with Lin Chaoyang about the gains of this trip. It may be because I was too tired. Tao Yushu said that she was asleep.
Lin Chaoyang pityed the hair of her cheeks and covered her quilt.
Early the next morning, Tao Yushu got up energetically and planned to go to work. Lin Chaoyang said: "There is nothing big in the company. I have been running outside for so many days. It is not too late to go back after taking a day off."
Tao Yushu refused. Looking at his wife's striding back, Lin Chaoyang could only helplessly shake his head.
The atmosphere in the workplace is ruined by bosses like you who are involved in life and death!
Not long after Tao Yushu left, Lin Chaoyang received a sample booklet of "A Bite of China" from Judith Jones from the United States.
The sun shines through the thin clouds and falls on the sparkling vast water. In the distance, there are mountains looming, a long embankment on the lake surface, and fishermen ferrying boats.
The cover of "A Bite of China" is very poetic and has the connotation of traditional Chinese painting, which shows that a lot of thought was put into it.
Opening the book, he saw that the content of the article was all written by Lin Chaoyang himself. He glanced at it and focused on the accompanying pictures.
For these pictures, Judith Jones traveled around the country with two photographers, Joe and Danny, for a month.
The originally ordinary food and production process seem to shimmer with the blessing of light, shadow and communication.
It soaks in the sweat and heart of the workers.
It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also carries regional culture, life emotions and the accumulation of time.
Lin Chaoyang looked at Judith Jones with admiration. After all, he had been writing food books for more than 20 years. After this polishing, the abstract words became more charming than before.
After reading the sample book, he called Judith Jones to praise the other person and gained his approval. Judith Jones was also very happy that the two discussed the publication of the work again.
China" attached great importance to it and set the launch date of the book on New Year's Day.
This time is also the busiest time of the year for the American book market. Seeing that it is only a few days away from its launch, the publisher has already launched the promotion of "A Bite of China" more than half a month ago.
Judith Jones talked about the publication of "A Bite of China" and asked Lin Chaoyang about the publication progress of his novel.
"Lu An only received the manuscript last month. The specific publication time has not yet been determined, but it should be after February." Lin Chaoyang said.
"That's fine. There's a one or two month difference in time. The popularity of "A Bite of China" may feed back into your new book."
Judith Jones is very confident about the sales of "A Bite of China". "The New Yorker" has experienced a surge in sales this year because of "A Bite of China," and its influence is unique.
The readership of "The New Yorker" can definitely be regarded as the best in the United States. "A Bite of China" was recognized by these readers when it was serialized. The sales volume will definitely not be bad after the collection is published.
In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day has arrived in New York City.
Boris walked out of the company's door. This company is located on Forty-seventh Street, between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue. It is small in scale, but its location is very advantageous. This is an important center for diamond trading in Midtown.
Unfortunately, all this is nothing to do with him now, because he is unemployed again.
At this time, he was sad and fortunate that he was unemployed again. Fortunately, he had survived New Year's Day.
Damn capitalists, you don't understand what art is!
Even if he recognized reality, but Boris couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
He raised his head and wanted to take a step to make a chic gesture, but when he thought of the deposit in the bank card, and the apartment that was about to expire, the footsteps could not help but get heavy.
What's even more tragic is that God also seemed to see his embarrassment, and he drifted snowflakes at this time.
The snowflakes of the ocean fell from the gap between the tall buildings, but it could not bring Boris even a little joy.
He passed through those diamond merchants heavily. Throughout the day, whether it rains or snowy, these merchants will gather on the street with small groups and small groups.
Artificial light.
Small diamonds occur from the customer's hands almost every month.
At that moment, the heart of a person will stop.
Boris thought about the merchants' vomiting, and a bitter smile appeared. This kind of "street trading he estimates that there is no money to consume in this life.
Passing the bookstore on Forty -seven Street, it has a loud name among later generations.
This "Gotham" has nothing to do with Batman. Gotham is the nickname of New York many years ago, and this nickname is not a nice name. It represents stupidity and crazy.
The Gotham Book Market opened for more than half a century because it happened to be between the company and the apartment. In the past six months, I worked at an advertising company. Boris would visit this from time to time.
He can't afford the books in the store in the store, and he always chooses books that discount magazines or unknown writers. In Boris's heart, those unknown writers are just like him.
"Hi, Ms. Spirlo!"
Boris greeted the owner standing at the door of the bookstore.
"Hi, Boris, what book should I choose today?"
Ms. Spirov's words slowed down Boris's footsteps. He just greeted him politely. He didn't expect to be misunderstood.
If he puts it in normal times, he may not hesitate to enter the store to turn around, but now that Berry looked at the bookstore, "It looks good today!"
"Oh, of course, today there is a book from a big man!"
Ms. Stelov's words evoke Boris's curiosity. He hesitated for a moment and went into the bookstore.
You don't have to buy a book when you enter the store. Well.
When he entered the bookstore, he planned to go to the second -hand book shelf to go to the old book. Here he had a lot of good things.
But before he took two steps, Boris's eyes were caught by the cover of a book that a reader next to him had just gotten.
The surface of the lake is sparkling, there is a trace of the long embankment, and light boats are floating on the lake.
He studied art and was very sensitive to this kind of exotic cover design. He couldn't help but get closer and want to take another look, but the other person had already opened the book.
Unable to find an angle to appreciate the cover again, he had to focus on the bookshelf behind the man, and found the book easily.
After admiring the stunning cover design for a few seconds again, Boris turned his attention to the title of the book "A Bite of China".
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, this name was so familiar to him.
A few months ago, he had read every column in The New Yorker.
And loved it very much.
"The New Yorker" and "The Paris Review" were the few magazines Boris bought at regular prices when he visited the Gotham Book Market. These two magazines were so well-known that he really couldn't wait for the expired and discounted magazines.
Boris opened the book with an expression of joy. Although he had read the contents of those articles once, he was still amazed by the exquisite art-like cooking techniques and food.
"From hands to mouth, from mouth to heart, Chinese people perceive the world and life in a unique way. As long as they light the fire and pick up the bowls and chopsticks, every ordinary person will participate in the extraordinary epic on the tip of their tongue at some moment.
.”
"This is the taste of salt. The taste of mountains, the taste of wind, the taste of sunshine. It is also the taste of time and human feelings."
The golden-yellow millet noodles left in the cloth bag and the fine powder shimmered in the sunlight.
Open the steamer, and as the steam rises in the steamer, the pasta, which is like a work of art, gradually expands and changes color under the action of high temperature. The color is attractive, and the aroma seems to come out.
The carefully cured ham was hung on the well-ventilated beams. After an unknown period of time, it had an attractive luster. It was slowly dried and fermented by the passage of time and the breeze.
