Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 56 Addiction

Peter didn't expect the plot to end here. He was so angry that he jumped up and down. "Damn it, why didn't you write more, you stupid author."

He quickly called his good friend Noma, not caring that it was late at night.

There was a clear sound of a woman's panting on the other end of the line, and Noma's angry voice came.

"Peter, I'm almost going to go soft. If you don't give me a better explanation, I'm going to kick your ass tomorrow."

Pete asked eagerly, "Is there a sequel to that book?"

"What sequel? Oh, you read Infinite World, right? No, I'm also waiting for the sequel." Noma suddenly became proud, "Haha, I can't be the only one anxious, you should thank me for recommending you a good book."

"grass!"

"You black-hearted guy, I hope you will become impotent soon." Pete raised his middle finger in the air.

The next day at the company, Pete asked his secretary to find the promotional plan for "Infinite World".

He looked at the title page of the proposal and found that the internal rating gave the book a C-level publicity rating.

Then I turned to the evaluation details at the bottom and found that the rater had a very high opinion of the book itself and gave it an A rating in this regard.

But because the author is a Chinese and a complete newcomer in the North American market, the rating was lowered.

"Raise the publicity rating of this book to B, and decide whether to raise it further based on market sales and reader reputation." Pete handed the plan back to the secretary and instructed.

"Okay, boss."

Peter stretched and picked up his phone.

"Next, I have to find a way to get my little baby back."

He hasn't enjoyed that top-notch beauty with a slim waist, a perky butt and long legs for many times, but he is unwilling to end this relationship.

Chen Linfeng accepted interviews from some media under the arrangement of Disney Publishing Company.

During this period, the publishing company's sales staff conducted market research and identified the target group.

Afterwards, accompanied by the company's publicity manager, Chen Linfeng visited several writers who were famous in the United States and invited them to write slogans on the cover of their books.

That’s all the content that requires Chen Linfeng’s participation for now.

Infinite Worlds went on sale on time a week later.

This week, Disney Publishing promoted the new book according to the standards of famous authors, and relying on their powerful channels, the results were good.

Many experienced book lovers have learned that a young Chinese writer is about to release a new book.

And I heard that the content is extremely exciting, it seems that a senior executive of Disney dumped his girlfriend in order to read the book.

That’s right, Pete used his own deeds as publicity material. Outsiders didn’t know who he was anyway, so he didn’t care. As long as he could sell books, it was fine.

"Oh, it's just a promotional tactic of the bookstore. I want to see what kind of book dares to brag so loudly!"

Kevin bought a book called "Infinite World" in the bookstore and started reading it directly in the reading area of ​​the store.

"If the book doesn't turn out well, I'll just scold the store manager." Kevin thought indignantly. He was known to be a stickler for truth and couldn't stand those scammers who made false advertisements.

Especially since he had just broken up with his girlfriend and was feeling very sad, an unscrupulous company executive actually kicked his girlfriend for a book.

Doesn’t this make me look even more trashy? I can’t stand it!

The bookstore owner saw this troublemaker sitting in his store and felt very unlucky. "How could I run into this villain?"

He looked at the reading area from time to time to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking.

After a while, I found that Kevin had been reading seriously and hadn't moved for a long time. I couldn't help but wonder, "Has he changed his personality?"

The boss stared for a while, but still nothing happened. He relaxed a little and began to focus on greeting other customers.

About an hour later, the customer who had just paid the bill and was about to leave whispered, "Sir, is there something wrong with the gentleman in your store? I noticed he was shaking badly."

The boss was startled and looked in the direction the customer was pointing.

Sure enough, Kevin, who was reading in the reading area, looked pale, with dark circles under his eyes, trembling all over, and yawning from time to time. However, despite this, his eyes were still fixed on the book, never moving away for a moment.

The boss knew at a glance that this man was dealing in flour and was now addicted to it.

"Sir, would you like to go home and 'solve' some personal problems first?"

Kevin yelled impatiently, "Don't bother me, I just want to finish reading the book now!"

The boss was unsure of his current mental state, so he didn't dare to say more and returned to the counter at the door.

He stared at the reading area, where Kevin was reading a book while yawning.

I'm simply moved.

What kind of spirit is this? Drug addiction cannot compare to reading addiction, right?

It was not until the evening that I didn't know whether the other party had finished reading the book or just couldn't bear it anymore and finally left the bookstore.

The boss couldn't hold back his desire to complain anymore, so he called his friend.
"I was really shocked. A customer came to my store just now. He was so addicted to reading that he even wanted to eat flour, but he resisted the urge to finish reading the book first."

"What? Are you sure you didn't get high?"

"Nonsense, I never touch that stuff!"

This strange thing spread very quickly and soon the publishing company knew about it.

"What? There is such a thing?"

Pete thought it was strange enough that he gave up clapping with the beautiful woman in order to read a book.

There are actually experts?

"Contact the media quickly, spread the word about this as soon as possible, and raise the publicity rating for Infinite World."

A few days later, a news report titled "A young man in Los Angeles forced himself to resist his flour addiction in order to read a novel" was released, attracting huge attention.

The reporter from this newspaper even interviewed the person involved and found out that it was actually true.

So she even posted a real photo of herself, which made Kevin famous as well.

However, how could the media in the capitalist world be honest?

The title soon changed to "A young man in Los Angeles gave up flour to read novels"

Then the story got weirder and weirder, "A young man quit drinking flour and read novels"

This was largely due to the promotion of Disney Publishing.

Not only that, they also bought promotions in various online forums, especially book-related forums, and kept forwarding related news.

At the same time, publishing companies also place advertisements in other mainstream media such as the New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Wall Street Journal.

With a lot of news coverage, most people would of course be curious about what kind of book he reads after hearing about it.

Therefore, in the first month alone, the sales of "Infinite World" exceeded 40 and entered the North American book bestseller list.

When the book hits the bestseller list, the marketing team works with the sales team to ensure it is displayed in physical bookstores.

The popularity of "Infinite World" has been maintained for a long time.

Sales in four months reached 120 million, second only to this year's top-ranked "The Lovely Bones".

This result is extremely good, especially considering the author's foreign identity, it can be said to be too good.

Disney Publishing began to use their powerful channels to distribute products to other European and American countries. The first step was to launch products in Canada, England, Australia and other countries.

With the achievements in North America as a foundation, it will be easy to achieve good sales results in these countries.

Chen Linfeng's road to internationalization was suddenly paved.
