On January 4, the sky in Los Angeles was covered with clouds, thunder and sharp swords and lightnings pierced the sky, as if shocking wounds were struck.

After the thunder, the rain fell, but it was a hazy drizzle.

"I have never seen such a ghost weather. After working hard for a long time, it rained so much. Is this still raining?" Stenberg stood behind me, laughing at the drizzle outside.

The wind is not small, and the rain has been pouring, and the face is just cold.

Unlike Stenborough, I didn’t have the same mood as him and laughed at Xiaoyu. On the contrary, my mood was like a sky, gloomy and gloomy at this time.

Today is the first day of the publication of the "Movie Manual". After working so long, it is time to gain something. What I don't want is a little drizzle.

The office was full of people, guarding the phone, Jimmy sat next to him and was responsible for wiring.

The victory or defeat of "Movie Manual" is here.

At 9:05, the first phone rang.

"Boss, two magazines released in Hollywood that the "Movie Manual" were out of stock!"

Shottal's voice was so excited on the other end of the phone.

"Shotal, make it clear." I was overjoyed when I heard this, grabbed the microphone and shouted at him.

"Boss, the 20,000 magazines that the "Movie Manual" in Hollywood were put on, and they started to be released at 8:30. As soon as they were put on the newsstand, they were sold out. So far, there are not a single two magazines left. And now a large number of people have not bought magazines. They lined up in front of the newsstand. I was contacting the printing headquarters in Los Angeles to ask them to send more goods." Yasser's voice was shaking and he was extremely excited.

After putting down the phone, my mood began to relax.

Hollywood was the first place to publish magazines. We got a good start. Twenty thousand magazines were actually snatched away. If this were the case everywhere, the sales volume of 400,000 copies was not a problem at all.

"Boss, 15,000 magazines from Auckland are out of stock!"

"Boss. All 23,000 magazines in San Jose were bought out, and there were still a large sales gap!"

“The 60,000 magazines in San Francisco were out of stock within half an hour, and we are getting the printing factory to print it!”

“Ten thousand magazines sold out in Santa Barbara.”

...

From nine o'clock, the phone started to get busy, and phone calls from all over California kept ringing.

Everyone was talking about the same news: out of stock, sold out, and there was a gap.

The atmosphere in the office gradually became warmer. Gans and others slapped their high-fives to celebrate, and were overjoyed.

"Holkina, drive!" I shouted to Holkina.

"Boss, where are you going?" Holkina looked at me and smiled like a flower.

I chuckled: "Of course the war will be at the forefront. Go to Bizer!"

"I'll go too!" When Gans heard that I was going to go to the editorial department of "Movie Manual", he grabbed his coat and followed him out.

"Boss, we are so proud this time. If the "Movie Manual" was founded and sold 400,000 copies, it would definitely make Yutus, the old glass! He got into my car and said whispering.

"As far as I am, it seems that there are less than 400,000 copies." I proudly lit a cigarette and told Holkina to drive.

The car rushed out of the DreamWorks gate like an arrow and headed straight for Los Angeles. After entering the city, I specifically asked Holkina to drive the car slowly to see the situation in the newsstands.

The scenes we saw made us all stunned.

Small newsstands were surrounded by scattered people, and people rushed to the shop owner with banknotes and shouted. Those who bought magazines were proudly reading them with relish, while those who had not bought them were envious.

"Boss, our magazine is not so popular, right?" Gans said in amazement.

I smiled and didn't answer him.

As the first film magazine in Los Angeles and even the United States, the content of the "Movie Manual" itself is already very attractive. In addition, there are detailed reports from our DreamWorks, and the article I wrote that was widely promoted by "Long Lens". In addition, I personally typed the advanced layout and design style from the 21st century, and the exquisite pictures printed on the coated paper inside, I think it is not popular, is it possible?!

As soon as we entered the city to the editorial department of the "Movie Manual", the atmosphere became more and more lively. Almost all the newsstands were surrounded. Within their eyes, there were people who were reading the "Movie Manual" with a thick look. Some people even pointed at the magazines and even fought for different opinions.

My heart has completely stabilized.

The car stopped in the parking lot downstairs of the editorial department of the "Movie Manual". When the three of us walked into the editorial department, we were in chaos.

In the workshop of Dadi, everyone was shuttled back and forth, some people shouted loudly with their phones, some people were copying some things with notepads, and some were checking data. The office was crowded with noise and noise.

"Boss, these guys are smoking marijuana?" Gans murmured.

I took Gans and Holgina to Bizer's office in a twists and turns, and pushed the door open and saw Bizer shouting with the phone in his arms.

"Tell them to add prints, add 10,000 copies, no, 20,000 copies, yes, just say that I'm a little hoarse than Zell.

"You're so busy." I laughed as Bizer put down the phone.

"Boss, why are you here?! Sit quickly!" Bizer quickly poured me tea with the sweat on his forehead.

"No more drinks. Who has time to drink tea now? How about it? Our magazine is being published well, right?" I sat on the sofa and smiled and said to Zell.

Bizer laughed, and the veins on his face burst out with excitement: "It's not just good?! Boss, our magazines are so popular now! Boss, 2 magazines in San Diego were sold out, 2 magazines in Long Beach were sold out, 15,000 Basto, 2,000 Berkeley, 2,000 Sacramento, and the same is true in other places. As long as our magazines are put on the newsstand, they will be sold out immediately. The major cinemas also want us to urge goods. Jack's fast food restaurant has called me more than 20 calls since the morning show. In Los Angeles, in our base camp, guess how many ten thousand copies have been sold so far?"

Bizer looked at me and kept it a secret.

Bizer shook his head and said to Gans: "Your number doubles again! We're already selling in Los Angeles

"No! So much!" Gans stuck out his tongue.

Bizer continued with unsatisfactory words: "More than this number, we are printing now. Boss, this time, we have been in the limelight! Listen to the radio!"

Bizer unscrewed the radio next to him, and the loud voice of the announcer came from it: "So far, all newsstands, cinemas, fast food restaurants and all places where "Movie Manual" appear have been surrounded by the public. No newspaper or magazine has ever caused such a sensation as "Movie Manual". The love and obsession of these people for this magazine is no less than their obsession with the most popular stars in Hollywood! Let's interview the people who bought magazines and see what magic this magazine has to make them so crazy!" 93b303

A girl's voice: "I bought it! I finally bought it! I've been waiting in line for an hour! I finally bought it! This magazine is fashionable, and the pictures in it are much more exquisite than those newspapers! Look at the photos of these celebrities, how beautiful I can refer to their styles to dress myself up in the future! Also, here are reports from DreamWorks and Mr. Corleon's reports, he is my favorite man!"

A young man's voice: "You ask me why I bought this magazine!? Didn't you buy it?! Just kidding, there has never been such an excellent magazine in Los Angeles. Look at their design style and look at their content. If you want to stay in Los Angeles, want to know this place and understand the movies, you will definitely not be able to not read this magazine!"

The voice of a middle-aged man: "I am a movie lover and a researcher of film theory. Although this article called "Long Lens Theory" written by Mr. Corleon in this magazine has not been published, it is very, very exciting. I dare say. This article will definitely become the foundation work of film theory like his "Montage Theory"! For us filmmakers, this magazine is the clarion call that guides us in the direction of progress!"

The voice of a charming woman: "As an actor, Mr. Curry is the director I respect the most. If I can work with him, it will be the greatest honor in my life. The magazine he personally supervised by DreamWorks. It not only contains detailed reports on Hollywood, but also as a filmmaker, you can definitely see the development and death of Hollywood from it, and learn a lot of information that you can't think of in normal times. Such magazines are treasures, just like the slogan on this magazine: 'Let you understand the movies and let you understand the world!'!"

A voice a little angry: "It's so idiotic to see your reporter's question! You need to answer this! You must read the most famous one. If you have the most awesome boss, you have to do the most style page. The pictures are printed directly, and the page is the smallest. What are the stars, gossip, theory, and everything you can write. There are beauties on the cover of the magazine, and there are beautiful cars behind the magazine's butt. In the magazine, you hire a dream factory writer. You have made movies and are the same as famous directors. When the reader opens the page, no matter whether you are cultured or not, he will tell you at the beginning: Movies are art, the noblest art! You can use authentic Hollywood terms to give you a very proud face! You will have another column in the magazine. The authors are all from Hollywood, and the cost of a single article is thousands of beautiful.

Jin, another movie news, the massive updates of the period are just one word: Quick! It takes three or two days to watch a single issue. The stars in it are either American girls or British women. If you are wearing a kimono, you dare not go to the magazine. How much does it cost to sell a magazine like this? I think it will cost one or two dollars. One or two dollars?! That's the cost! Starting from four dollars! Don't think it's expensive, and it's not discounted! People have to study the shopping psychology of our readers. Readers who are willing to pay one or two dollars to buy magazines don't care about paying two more dollars! What does the most tasteful readers mean? The most tasteful readers buy the most awesome ones and not the best ones, so our readers' slogan is, don't ask for the best, but ask for the best!"93b303

A senior film critic was excited: "It's finally published! We film critics finally have their own magazines to fight on their own! Whether it's day or night, whether you're an American or European, with it, we have hope and a bond of connection! It is a paradise for all people who love movies. We must work hard on it and let it grow flowers!"

A coal miner: "Why buy this magazine? Look at how many beautiful women are on it! With this treasure, we were put underground for ten days and half a month, and we also had spiritual food!"

A street gangster: "This magazine uses high-quality wood paper. When binding, it has added push pins, copper sheets, and the spine is covered with universal glue. It weighs about one kilogram. It will not only not attract other people's attention at all, but it can be readable and pleasing to the eye, but also increase personal charm. When encountering an emergency, you can hit people in an incoming situation and protect yourself from retreating. It is really a must-have item for home travel, killing people, and fighting!" 93b303

A trembling old woman: "The "Movie Manual" is good, it's good! I love DreamWorks! I love Corleon!"

...

"Dear listeners, I am currently at the 'Los Angeles Fast Food Restaurant', a subsidiary of DreamWorks. It is reported that on the day the "Movie Manual" was released, it became the focus of the majority of readers' rush to buy. Although this scene has a lot to do with the excellent quality of the "Movie Manual" itself, the fast food coupons printed in the first issue of the "Movie Manual" magazine are also an important reason. It is said that those who hold such coupons can get a free 'Los Angeles Fast Food' package! Audience friends, listen to this warm roar!"

Then there was a messy voice: "Magazine, I want a magazine! I want a package!" 93b303

"Why are there three chicken legs in the set meal?? Is that chicken a freak??"

"The magazine is good, the beauty is better! "Movie Manual", it's healthier to see!"

"Watch the movie manual, it's great! You and I, everyone!"

"He's happy, I'm happy too!"

...

In the office, Holgina and Gans were almost laughing, and I rubbed my stomach and couldn't say anything for a while.93b303

Bizer saw that we were almost ineffective and was afraid that I would do anything, so he quickly turned off the radio.

"Bizel, do you think I can sell all 400,000 movie manuals and say happily while wiping my tears.

Bizer beat his chest: 400,000 copies?! I have already made a total of other copies in various places. Boss, we can sell at least 600,000 copies in this issue!"

"Okay!" I stood up and laughed.

On this day, I don’t know about other places, Los Angeles was in a mess! "" triggered a huge commotion. Afterwards, 70% of the owners of 8,956 newsstands in the city were called by readers and recovered their hearing after two weeks. Thirty percent of the bosses were poked by the hands of readers who flocked to them and 10% were poked seriously injured. The number of people injured due to the crowded queues exceeded 5,000. They beat each other because of fighting for magazines. The boss of the newsstands finally advanced to the people who beat the police, which filled half of the police stations in Los Angeles. Traffic stagnation lasted for three hours, car accidents increased, wounded, and finally, the number of police officers increased.

Of course, the "Movie Manual" also had a lot of good impact. First, it greatly improved the people of Los Angeles to care about movies and their own cultivation. More than one-third of people said after reading the "Movie Manual" that they must study hard and improve their overall quality and work hard to better understand the articles in the "Movie Manual". Second, on the first day of the publication of the "Movie Manual", people in Los Angeles took to the streets, greatly increasing the degree of intimacy between people. Although there were a lot of friction, people felt the warmth of social groups like never before. Third, the addition of the "Movie Manual" made paper expensive in Los Angeles, and at the same time, it also stimulated various consumption.

During this day, the city of Los Angeles alone sold nearly 90,000 points of "Movie Manual", and more than 620,000 copies of magazines were sold in the entire California state. The "Movie Manual" lost its advertising fee list and earned $850,000 from magazine sales, which made the editor very happy.

The sales results of "Movie Manual" shocked everyone, whether they were Los Angeles media colleagues, Hollywood filmmakers, the Los Angeles government and even Bishop Yuteus Clay could not believe that a magazine sold more than 600,000 copies on the first day!

The first shot of "Movie Manual" also made DreamWorks cheerful, with the employees singing and dancing, and the joy was thunderous. I suggested that DreamWorks distributed a big red envelope to everyone in the editorial department of "Movie Manual" led by Bizer, which made those guys feel so happy.

California Governor Slary, Los Angeles Mayor Pang Mao and others called me to celebrate the news industry miracle of the "Movie Manual", and even the original Bishop Yutus Clay praised the achievements we achieved on the phone. Although the guy's tone was very warm, I had clearly heard his regret and jealousy.

At 5:00 p.m. on November 4, all newspapers in Los Angeles were released, and they reported the first issue of the "Movie Manual", and the above words made me even more stunned.

The so-called "outside" refers to newspapers and magazines that have been published regularly. In the time when the previous issue has been published and the next issue has not been published, newspapers and magazines that have been temporarily compiled and printed by the media in order to quickly and promptly report to readers are not included in the original number, so they are called "outside".

Therefore, there should be three elements outside the account: one is that the content must be major news and special events, the second is that the time should be temporarily published between the two issues of publication, and the third is that there is no number.

Among the three elements that should be possessed by the extradition, the first one is unintentional.

Generally, newspapers can be released from the bank. They are definitely earth-shaking events, such as the sudden death of national leaders, the emergence of major military operations, major breakthroughs in scientific research results, such as the subsequent atomic bomb, etc., but a magazine has caused all newspapers to release from the bank, not only in Los Angeles, but also in the entire United States, which is probably the first time.

But this is indeed a fact.

At 5 p.m. on November 4, the craze caused by the "Movie Manual" eased slightly. The five major newspapers of Los Angeles also launched the local number outside, which once again ignited the enthusiasm of the people.
