Chapter 213 Book Ordering Meeting
These people all stared at Zhang Duo and wanted to know how he would react, whether it was tit-for-tat or silent. However, from past experience, Zhang Duo is more likely to be tit-for-tat.
Who knew that Zhang Duo smiled unscrupulously. Really? Then I wish you a great sale of your new book and replace it with me in the future!"
When Zhou Yuemin saw that Zhang Duo was "feared" and said excitedly, "This is my goal. I will definitely surpass you!"
Zhang Duo stood up, patted Zhou Yuemin on the shoulder and said, "Yue Min, to be honest, I'm really optimistic about you. You will definitely succeed. If I can be emperor one day, I will make you prince!" After saying that, he turned around and left. Seeing this, Jiang Xiancheng naturally followed Zhang Duo.
Zhu Guoxing grinned and said, "I didn't expect Zhang Duo to be just like this. When he saw Yue Min's limelight, he made a shrinking turtle, and he didn't even dare to say a hard word.
Zhou Yuemin was still a little proud at first, but she came back with a smile. He said with a gloomy face, "Damn, he actually called me his son!" Wu Weizhong also reacted and couldn't help laughing. However, at this time, Zhang Duo was talking to Li Guotai, the mayor of Bincheng City, and it was not easy for Zhou Yuemin to find fault, so she had to put up with this breath first.
"Zhang Duo, I heard that you are shooting Shanghai Beach. I don't know when you can shoot a TV series that reflects our Bincheng or Northeast China? Also contribute to the publicity of our hometown!" Vice Mayor Li Guotai said pleasantly.
He used to be the deputy mayor in charge of culture, education and health. Since the success of the book ordering conference last year, he proposed to the city to vigorously develop the cultural industry of Bincheng and strive to make Bincheng a "cultural capital."
In the past year, he has held many meetings, visited the cultural industry in the city, and made some guidance on the spot. Now a year later, the cultural industry in Bincheng has made great progress.
Now Songjiang Morning Post and Northeast Evening News are ranked third and fourth in the domestic newspaper industry respectively. And the average daily circulation has exceeded 2 million. In one city, there are two large newspapers with average daily sales of more than two million, which is a great achievement!
In the novel industry, a large number of novel writers such as Zhang Duo and Zhou Yuemin have emerged, which are very popular in the domestic novel market.
As for film and television media, Songjiang TV has now become the first local satellite TV below CCTV, and the ratings of some periods cannot be compared with CCTV. Wanbang Film and Television, in addition to being among the top ten domestic film and television production companies, has also produced several high-quality film and television dramas. The scale of the company has expanded sharply and the yield is extremely high.
Although the above achievements are not directly related to Li Guotai, the cultural industry in Bincheng developed rapidly during his responsibility, so he was also promoted to executive vice mayor because of his outstanding political achievements.
Li Guotai naturally knew that the cultural industry in Bincheng was popular, so he was very friendly to Zhang Duo. He hoped that Zhang Duo could make a TV series for Bincheng. In addition to making some "political achievements", he also wanted to get closer to Zhang Duo.
In fact, Li Guotai's idea is one of the causes of the chaos in the domestic TV drama market. After some TV series were filmed, they were reviewed and not released, and directly thrown into the warehouse, because the original purpose of shooting was to "gift" to the local government!
Zhang Duo can't do such a thing. If he doesn't shoot, he will have to make a good film. With his current influence, there is naturally no need to please his parents, but his father Zhang Zhenxing is working in the real estate industry in Bincheng. Now that he has a close relationship with Li Guotai, Zhang Duo has to give face to the other party.
Zhang Duo carefully thought about the TV series related to Bincheng or Northeast China in his previous life. First of all, he definitely can't make Country Love, even if this play is very popular in the north, because it really doesn't match his style.
Breaking through Guandong is good, but it is not shocking enough. Zhang Duo frowned and thought carefully. Li Guotai saw that Zhang Duo was really heartbroken and had a joy in his heart. He felt a sense of being valued spontaneously and said with a smile, "Oh, don't be in a hurry for a moment!"
Zhang Duo suddenly said, "Yes, Mayor Li, the most famous person in the modern Northeast, is Zhang's father and son. How about making a "Legend of the Marshal"?"
As a native of Northeast China, Li Guotai naturally has a sense of pride when he mentions the marshal. However, as the deputy mayor of Bincheng, he feels that this TV series has nothing to do with Bincheng! The story of the general mainly takes place in Fengtian, that is, the Zhang's mansion, which now stands well in Fengtian City.
"What's wrong with this film? I think you'd better think about it. If there is no good theme, forget it. After all, the development time of Bincheng is too short and there is no background!" Li Guotai said with a little disappointment.
Li Guotai didn't mention it, and Zhang Duo naturally stopped struggling. The two talked for a while, and it was time for the opening of the book ordering meeting.
In the merchants waiting in the venue, Chen Shanming and Qin Liangmu met together again. Last year, they came here and wanted to throw the money directly to Zhang Duo, and then went to Zhang Duo to sign the book. They never thought that all the money was returned by Zhang Duo.
After meeting again this time, Chen Shanming said first, "Brother Qin, what book are you going to take?"
"I'm going to take more of Zhou Yuemin's "Xunming Ji" this time. This book is very popular now! What about you?" Qin Liangmu asked.
"I, I'm also going to take more "Xunmingji" back to sell!"
"Why don't you take more of Xing Zai's new book "Emperor Yongzheng"?"
"Although that book is good, most of the readers are from the official and business class. They must go to a place that can open * in Xinhua Bookstore to buy books. Where can they find our wholesale private stores? "Emperor Yongzheng" is in our hands, and they will never sell a few copies!" Chen Shanming analyzed it visily.
Qin Liangmu clapped his hands and smiled, "Heroes have similar opinions. I'm afraid Xingzai will lose face this time!"
"Hmm, I think it's good for him to lose face, so as not to be so arrogant all the time!" As soon as Chen Shanming thought of what happened last year, he felt a little unhappy and said hatefully.
At Bincheng Railway Station, a young man with a suit and leather shoes and neatly combed hair walked out of the railway station, looked at the watch on his wrist, and said in a lame Mandarin, "I guess it has begun, and I don't know if he can buy Xingzai's books after going there!"
The opening ceremony has been held at the Bincheng International Convention and Exhibition Center. First, Zhou Muyan, Director of Culture, delivered an opening speech, and then Li Guotai delivered a long speech. As a guest, Zhang Duo also made a speech, but only a few words.
When the host announces that each exhibition area is open and you can choose books freely. The booksellers rushed to the second floor and were dumbfounded by the leaders on the stage again.
A book merchant went up to the second floor and still went straight to the exhibition area of Songjiang People's Publishing House, but shouted for 5,000 copies of Searching for me and 8,000 copies of such words! Last year's popularity of The Legend of the Condor Heroes was copied to The Search for the Ming Dynasty this year.
When Zhou Yuemin saw that the book under his name was snapped up by the wholesaler, he danced excitedly and laughed. Look at the exhibition area of Wansheng Books. There are not many people!" Zhu Guoxing and Wu Weizhong looked in the direction pointed out by Zhou Yuemin and saw that there was really no one in the exhibition area of Wansheng Books.
Jiang Xiancheng and Zhang Duo sat in the exhibition area. Jiang Xiancheng couldn't sit still: "Zhang Shao, it's too humiliating! This is not in line with your position in the literary world!"
Zhang Duo gently blew the tea and said as if nothing had happened, "Uncle Jiang, does the fire on the opposite side have anything to do with us? Even if no one comes now, what can they do?" After saying that, he took a sip of tea and looked very enjoyable.
"Zhang Shao, when did you become so light? If the other party is angry, won't he suppress your name? If the media comes out tomorrow, your new book is not as popular as Zhou Yuemin's new book, which will affect your status among readers!"
Zhang Duo is still tasting his cup of tea, as if drinking very sweet agar jade liquid, indifferently, "Don't worry, we can't lose!"
At this time, some booksellers finally entered the exhibition area of Wansheng Books, but the number was very small. After all, the books previously published by Wansheng have been sold in a saturated market. However, the newly published Emperor Yongzheng was not favored by the wholesalers present and sold a few.
"Zhang Duo, aren't there many people here? Zhou Yuemin came over and said with a sarcastic face.
"There are not many people. If you are willing to buy books, one is enough!" Zhang Duofeng said lightly.
"Cut, let me tell you, the order volume of my new book has reached 200,000 copies, but you, the sales of the book do not match your reputation!"
Zhang Duo became more and more lazy to take care of Zhou Yuemin. He took a sip of tea, lay on the sofa, and closed his eyes to refresh his mind.
Zhou Yuemin saw that Zhang Duo despised him so much and felt like punching cotton. Well, we'll see you when the order is over. After saying that, he left angrily.
"When did Director Zhang become so magnanimous?" Jiang Xiancheng asked puzzledly.
Zhang Duo smiled and said, "He is just a child who doesn't know the world. I care about him. It's me who lost my identity!"
Zhou Yuemin's behavior is just like the trouble of a rogue who was eager to become famous in the capital in the 1970s. For this kind of half-sized son who has just made his debut, you hit him, and others say that you bully the small. If you pester him and accidentally suffer losses, your reputation will be ruined for decades. Therefore, the best way for such a person is not to ignore him, seriously despise him spiritually, and crush him with strength in practical actions, instead of arguing with words.
"Director Zhang, in fact, he is one year older than you!" Jiang Xian honestly couldn't stand Zhang Duo pretending to be old and couldn't help saying.
"Then he is just a child who has never seen the world in my heart!" Zhang Duo said with a disdainful smile.
