Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 104 New Book on the Shelf (Please Collect and Read)
"Link, you are amazing. Interstellar is so wonderful. I couldn't put it down as soon as I opened it yesterday. Even my father, director George Lucas, liked it very much and praised your talent."

In the office, Link received a call from Sofia Coppola.

"They read my book too? I'm glad they liked it."

"I recommended it. My father said that the stories in this novel are very good and very suitable for adaptation into a movie. After reading the novel, Director Lucas said that he got some inspiration from your book and planned to quote some of it in the Star Wars sequel.

They also hope to have time to chat with you.

Link, you are amazing, I have never seen them use so many beautiful words to praise a young person, except you."

Sofia Coppola's tone was filled with happiness.

"Thank you so much for your help in recommending books. You are also great, the most talented girl of your age that I have ever met."

"Really?"

"Of course, I agreed to let you join my crew not because you are beautiful, but because you are very talented and have a different temperament from other girls. I think we will have a pleasant cooperation."

"Haha, if I ask you out on a date, will you agree?"

"When? Where is the date? Wait, not now. I have to go to New York for a book signing, and the filming is about to start. You need to stay busy."

"Got it, Boss! I'll make a good movie. And by the way, your book is great."

After chatting for a few words, Link hung up the phone, sat down and flipped through the newspaper.

There was a news item on the front page of the Los Angeles Times which was a short review by the famous science fiction writer Larry Niven recommending Interstellar.

Larry Niven expressed surprise at the appearance of this book, believing that it was a very imaginative and creative work that not only had a vision of the future world but also a deep reflection on the future, and was worthy of reading for all readers who liked interstellar and time travel.

Before he finished reading the comments, the phone on the desk rang again. Liu Xiaoli told him that Liz Greensky, deputy editor-in-chief of Tor Books, was on the line.

"Good morning, Liz!"

"Haha, Link, guess how many copies of Interstellar sold this week?"

Liz Glinsky laughed on the phone.

"How many?"

Liz Glinsky told Link on the phone in a very excited tone.

In the first week of the release of "Interstellar", the first print of 5 copies were sold out. Now book publishers from all over the country are calling to urge delivery, and the pre-order volume has reached 20 copies.

The publishing house plans to print 50 copies in the second batch.

If all 50 copies are sold, "Interstellar" is expected to be among the top ten best-selling science fiction novels this year.

“Can 50 copies be sold?”

Science fiction is a relatively niche genre among fiction books and not many people read it, and apart from the works of famous science fiction writers such as Larry Niven and Edgar Rice Burroughs, it is difficult for new writers to sell these books.

“Haha, 50 copies is definitely no problem. The response to Interstellar has been very good since it was put on the shelves. Every day the publishing house receives calls from readers praising this science fiction collection.

I called Larry Niven and Arthur Clarke and asked them to write a book review. They agreed immediately and praised the book as being very good, so not to mention 50 copies, 500 million copies is possible. "

“Haha, this is really good news.”

Link and Glinsky chatted about follow-up releases.

The release of a novel is similar to that of a movie or an album. It requires spending money on publicity to expand the influence of the novel, including media interviews, book signing events in various places, fan meetings, science fiction writers salons, etc.

Good publicity can increase sales.

"Link, how many copies did you sell?"

Seeing him put down the phone, Liu Xiaoli asked impatiently.

“All 5 copies were sold out last week.”

"Great, Link, you're amazing."

Liu Xiaoli looked at him with admiration, her beautiful peach blossom eyes shining.

"well enough."

Link smiled softly. He had not expected that the 40% original science fiction he had modified would become so popular after it was put on the shelves.

"Sister Xiaoli, I will be out promoting my novel for the next two weeks. I will leave the company's affairs to you and Michael. If you encounter something you can't decide, you can call me or wait until I come back." "Got it. Do you want me to come with you? I can take care of you."

Liu Xiaoli approached him and spoke gently.

"No, it's not necessary. It's troublesome to run around in different cities for book signings, so it's not suitable for you. Besides, the publishing house and the book company have arranged work assistants, so you don't have to worry."

"Okay, be careful, take care of yourself, and don't work too hard every day. You are the big boss now, so you can let others do things instead of doing it yourself. Your health is the most important thing."

Liu Xiaoli whispered softly in front of him.

"Sister Xiaoli, you are so nice."

Link looked at her rosy cheeks and couldn't help but hold her in his arms, feeling her heartbeat and the temperature of her body.

"Ah, you, what are you doing? Stop it, let go quickly, it will be bad if others see it."

Liu Xiaoli's face turned red instantly. She glanced at the door quickly and knocked on his back with her fists, each time lighter than the last, while she was in his arms.

"Sister Xiaoli, you are the person closest to me and the one who treats me the best. I can't live without you anymore. Please don't leave me, okay? Let me take care of you. With me here, no one will bully you and Xixi."

Link hugged her waist, put his chin against her forehead, and spoke softly in her ear.

Liu Xiaoli gradually calmed down, and the fragrance on her body became warm and soft. It was not just the smell of perfume, but also a very tempting body odor that made people excited.

Liu Xiaoli raised her red cheeks and rolled her eyes, "Bad guy, don't try to coax me with sweet words. No one here will bully me except you."

"It's mainly because you're too easy to bully."

Link stroked her cheek, feeling the softness and tenderness of her skin with the back of his hand. He brushed her drooping hair with his fingers and tucked it behind her ears, revealing her delicate and beautiful cheeks and her not-so-shy demeanor.

When she was shy, her cheeks became more pretty and moist, and there was a hint of charm between her eyebrows. The charm revealed in her every frown and frown made people's heart beat faster.

It is said that this kind of women are naturally charming and can easily make men fall for them, leading to physical impairment. I wonder if it is true or not?
Link lowered his head and kissed her hibiscus-like cheeks and the rosy corners of her lips. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the back of his feet. He gasped and had to let go of the woman in his arms temporarily.

"Xiao Linzi, what did you just say? You said I'm easy to bully. Are you sure?"

Liu Xiaoli put her hands on her waist and said with a smile.

"Hiss, I was sure before, but now I'm not sure. Liu Xiaoli, you're too cruel, you almost broke my leg with that kick."

"Haha, to deal with a pervert like you, I have to use heavy hands to make you feel the pain. Let's see if you dare to take advantage of me next time."

Liu Xiaoli curled up the corners of her lips and her eyes sparkled slightly, as if bullying others made her feel excited.

"I dare not. You are a female warrior. Only you can bully others. No one can bully you."

Link sat on the sofa and rubbed the back of his feet.

"As long as you know."

Liu Xiaoli squatted down to massage his feet.

Boom boom boom!
"Boss, are you busy?"

Daniel DeVito asked from the doorway.

"come in."

Liu Xiaoli walked to the door, opened it, and invited Daniel DeVito in.

"Boss, the set of The Blair Witch Project is ready, and all the extras have been found. We can start filming anytime."

Daniel said.

"Call Sofia and gather the crew to start filming. We can't delay any longer. If it snows, it will be inconvenient to shoot."

"Okay, I'll let them know later. Boss, what happened to your foot?"

"Shh, it's okay, I hit a brick wall."

Phew~

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help laughing.
