The next day, the crew of "The Blair Witch Project" gathered, and Daniel DeVito and Sofia each led a team to start filming.

After attending the opening ceremony of the "Blair Witch Project" in Los Angeles, Link followed the "Interstellar" publicity team to hold book signing events in major cities across the United States.

Because he is a celebrity, his new book is of good quality, and after its release it was recommended by many famous science fiction writers and celebrities. With these three favorable factors, the popularity of "Interstellar" has risen rapidly.

The sales of the novel were also rising, with 5 copies sold in the first week. "Interstellar" became famous in the book industry, and many people noticed this book and its author Link.

In the second week, the book publishing company began to promote the book, and Link also held signing events in various places, and sales increased rapidly.

In the second week, it sold 21.7 copies and jumped to fourth place on the New York Times weekly bestseller list.

According to the current sales trend, the first month sales of "Interstellar" are expected to exceed 80 copies, and 500 million copies are expected to be sold in the next year.

According to the contract he signed with the publishing house, he can get 15% of the royalties after the release of "Interstellar".

A hardcover edition of "Interstellar" costs $52 and a paperback edition costs $42. If 5 copies are sold, he can get about $36 in share. If 50 copies are sold, he can get $360 million in share. If 500 million copies are sold, he can get $3600 million in share, which is more than many movies make.

In addition, with the huge success of "Interstellar", the copyrights of film, television and games will become very valuable. If he does not plan to direct it, he can still make a lot of money by selling it to other film companies.

So when promoting his novels, he would try his best to attend as long as a book company invited him.

With his and the publisher's unremitting promotion, the novel "Interstellar" has become more and more influential in the United States. Even his colleagues in the entertainment industry know that Link recently wrote a science fiction novel that sold very well.

"Link, did you really write Interstellar?"

Link was at a book signing at the Louisville City Library when Quentin Tarantino called him urgently.

"Yeah, have you read the book?"

"Shit! How could you have written this? You're so busy every day, making movies, managing a company, and picking up girls. How did you find the time to write a book? And write hundreds of thousands of words?!"

Quentin Tarantino demanded.

"I remember someone said that time is like water in a sponge. You just need to squeeze it. After work every day, I would squeeze out a few hours to write a book. I wrote several thousand words every day. It took me almost half a year to finish the book, which is not too fast."

Link laughed.

"Damn it, you don't take a good rest after work, but you still have to squeeze out time to write a book? Write a best-selling book?!"

"Yeah, otherwise, after work every day, what do you do with the rest of the time?"

"Wouldn't it be better to spend the rest of the time drinking, watching TV and playing cards?"

"It's boring. It seems like a waste of life."

"Humph! You are such a despicable bastard. You made movies that sold well one after another, won the annual box office champion, and wrote novels that became best-selling authors. You are only 20 years old, what should we do with your peers if you are so arrogant?"

Quentin said through gritted teeth on the phone.

"I remember you're almost thirty this year, so you're not considered our age, right?"

"roll!"

Quentin hung up the phone angrily, but soon sent another message congratulating him on the success of his new book and asking him to come back and treat him to a meal.

In addition to Quentin, Steven Soderbergh, Robert Rodriguez, Tim Robbins, Jim Carrey, Joan Chen, Brooke Shields, Bruce Willis, Robert Shea, Harvey Weinstein and others also called.

Some congratulated him on the great success of his new book and praised the book for being very good.

Some asked him when he would return to Los Angeles and asked for his autograph. After he became a best-selling author, everyone seemed to become more enthusiastic.

After the release of "Interstellar", Jennifer Connelly called him many times, saying excitedly that the book was very good and she found it very interesting even after reading it five times. She asked him how he could write such a wonderful science fiction novel.

Link said she was an alien and she was dating and making love with an alien.

Jennifer Connelly couldn't stop laughing after hearing this, and also thought he was an alien because he was very good and greedy in that aspect, not like a normal person. She also asked him when he would return to Los Angeles, and she really wanted to date and make love with this alien.

Link said he would come back to have sex with her on the weekend.

When Monica called him for the first time, she said she had nothing to do in Los Angeles and asked if she could accompany him to book signings and follow him around.

Link agreed.

After Monica flew over, she stayed by his side as an assistant, sharing some of the work, taking care of his daily life, and being more considerate to him than before.

In its third week of release, "Interstellar" sold 42.6 copies in the United States.

It ranked third on the New York Times weekly bestseller list, behind only the new work "The Bridges of Madison County" by the famous writer Robert James Waller and John Gray's work on gender, "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus."

Cumulative sales reached 69 copies, more than copies more than the publisher predicted.

This also shows that the quality of this book is indeed good and readers like to read it.

It is expected to sell 100 million copies in the first month.

"Damn it, isn't Link a director? Why is he writing a book? How come so many people read such a crappy book? Don't they have brains?"

In a cafe, Robert Downey Jr. was flipping through the Los Angeles Times. After seeing the news about Link's new book selling well, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly and felt very uncomfortable.

"Maybe. Link never went to college and his education level is not high. The movies he made are all B-grade movies with no cultural connotations. Those uneducated people like to watch them. The same is true for Interstellar."

Kiefer Sutherland said.

Actor David Duchovny nodded, agreeing with both men.

"Hey, are you guys serious?"

Julia Roberts put down her coffee spoon and looked at the people.

“After Interstellar was released, Larry Niven, Arthur C. Clarke, and many university professors recommended the book, believing it to be of very high quality.

But you say this book is bad and only uneducated people like to read it? Have you read this book? "

"No need to read it. What good things can Link, who has never even attended college, write? And what about university professors recommending it? As long as the money is in place, I can ask the president to recommend movies for me."

Robert Downey Jr. said disdainfully.

"Wow, you're amazing. When Chaplin was released, you got half of the celebrities in the entertainment industry to promote it. Why didn't you ask the president for help? Are you worried that the box office will be too bad and you won't be able to recover your costs?"

Julia Roberts sneered.

"Shut up Julia!"

Kiefer Sutherland gave her a glare.
