I Just Want to Copy Books in Peace

Ridley King held a handful of small denomination banknotes tightly in his palm, and his palm was sweaty.

When the bus arrived at the stop, the door was already open before it stopped.

And Ledley King, who was already prepared, rushed out of the car door first.

After getting off the bus, 50 meters from the roadside is the largest bookstore in town, "Pitt Brothers Bookstore".

When Ridley King ran into the bookstore panting, before he could catch his breath, he shouted in his youthful voice, "Two ASongofIeandFire!"

The store manager, Adrian, shook his head, and squeezed an ugly smile under his shaggy beard: "You're late, child, no more."

A huge loss loomed over Ledley, just like when he played against the "Bad Boys" United a few months ago, he shot from beyond the arc in the last 2 seconds but hit the iron, causing his team to lose the chance to turn a defeat into a victory.

At that moment, he felt a convulsion in his stomach and almost vomited it out on the spot.

It's that sense of loss.

He promised Bella to help her bring back a Song of Ice and Fire today.

Could he be forced to be a man who broke his promise...

"Boy," Adrian said in a gruff voice that sounded like a double-barreled shotgun, "this book is in short supply, and the dealers on it are out of stock. But I heard Goldling Press is doing a second emergency restocking. This time, a total of 200,000 copies will be printed. Merciful God, I think Godlin Publishing House is too conservative! 200,000 copies is definitely not enough. Last time I printed 100,000 copies, and I only got 20 copies here. Today It arrived in the morning. Do you know how long it took to sell out? Three hours. It was sold out in just three hours. So guys, next Monday, you have to come early or you'll come back empty-handed like you did today."

Ridley King nodded heavily.

But he might not be here next Monday.

He wants to try buying it online.

Although I can't buy a new book, I can buy a second-hand book at 95 with extra money, right?

"A Song of Ice and Fire" is currently only released in the country of Stars and Stripes, and has not yet released the hardcover version.

The paperback edition is priced at $48 a copy.

And online,

Yesterday Ridley King saw someone selling almost brand new used on eBay for $70.

Ridley King's pocket money was only the crumpled small bills in his hand, less than $100, of course not enough to buy two.

But he could just buy one, stay up all night to read it, and give it to Bella. The fastest update mobile terminal:

When the hardcover is out in the future, he will buy another one for the collection.

This not only pleases the beauty, maybe there is a chance to get on base; it also leaves room for myself.

But after returning home excitedly, turning on the computer, and logging on to eBay, Ridley King suddenly found that the cheapest second-hand "A Song of Ice and Fire" was also $95...

more than his total assets.

Ridley King regretted in frustration, why didn't he film it yesterday...

There was once a $70 A Song of Ice and Fire in front of me that I didn't cherish and regretted until now...

...

"In less than 3 weeks, the first 100,000 copies have been sold out, and the additional 100,000 copies have also been snapped up. It can be said that Luoyang paper is expensive, and a book is hard to find. In the second-hand market, it has been bid up to $100 a copy. Now," Dong Wenbin's tone was exaggerated on the phone, "Brother, you have been occupying the top of the New York Times bestseller list of novels for two consecutive weeks. Please tell me, how long do you plan to dominate the list?"

"My team hasn't told me the data yet, and only told me that "A Song of Ice and Fire" was on the New York Times list, without specifying the exact ranking," Du Caige laughed. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for my book to find a publisher in Xingtiaoguo, and people may not do their best to promote me, it is all about your face."

"Nonsense, in the Stars and Stripes, you don't count on me, who else do you want to count on? Speaking of which, I heard from people in the industry that this year's Hugo Award for best novel must be yours. Not only because of Your book is of good quality, and because the publisher wants to add a selling point to your book, it will definitely work actively."

Du Caige is not surprised or unfamiliar with this. Similar things are too common on earth. "Actually, I don't care."

Dong Wenbin was speechless, "Just keep pretending."

"It really doesn't matter."

"Then let me tell you what you have to say, your 'The Old Man and the Sea' may win several major literary awards, you know not. At least the Pulitzer Prize and the Booker Prize are promising. This is also In order to create a personality for you and make you the number one talent in the Asian cultural field, the publishing house sends your books to awards everywhere, so that your books will sell better.”

Du Caige was still calm. It really didn't matter whether he won an award or not for the things he brought in. It was difficult for him to have mood swings, "I know you have contributed a lot, right. Thank you."

"Thank you, you won't be sour with me. I really want to repay me, go and find a better oral English teacher for your good apprentice, so that she can speak smooth English, and then let her come to Xingtiaoguo to talk to her. I fuck, I want to make her an international queen."

Du Caige's tone was indifferent: "It's enough to have Xiaochen for the time being for the international queen, and Yu Yu is still short of the fire. Let her study for a few more years and settle for a few more years. After 30 years old, let's see how she develops."

Dong Wenbin didn't reluctantly, and instead bragged at Duan Xiaochen, "Speaking of Xiaochen, you don't know how popular she is now. All the famous variety shows, reality shows, and talk shows want to find her to record the show."

"Even Xiao Xu became popular. The songs you created for Xiaochen are really amazing. First, you used HERO to win people, and then GODISAGIRL, IHAVENOTHING, MYHEARTWILLGOON, several songs of different styles, let Xingtiaoguo The music world has lost its voice, you know?"

"But then again, when it comes to music, you've never disappointed anyone. Tell me, what big move did you prepare for Xiaochen next?"

"No big move, just a few songs."

"What about the quality, compared to these songs?"

"Almost. The style is different."

"abuse."

After chatting for a while, Dong Wenbin asked, "How is your movie now?"

Speaking of this, Du Caige has a headache. Fortunately, I recently got the action guidance team, which can barely be said to have made some progress.

"It's alright. Let's go step by step, anyway, it should be no problem to start shooting on time in November."

"Come on, if you shoot well, I'll bring you to the Stars and Stripes, and even send it to the Oscars. Trust me, I'm still familiar with it."

"I'm not interested in Oscar." This time he was really pretending.

It's impossible to have a director who isn't interested in the Oscars. At least not interested.

Actually, intellectually, Du Caige knows that if you want to make a good movie, don't even think about arguing with the Oscar committee members.

For example, national teachers, such as Chen Wuji, and a certain period of small steel guns, in order to cater to the Oscars, even ordinary movies will not be made.

In fact, people don't want to see you at all.

Du Caige didn't want to make such a mistake.

He must first capture domestic audiences and be worthy of those who spend money on movie tickets.

Will Oscar like it? That's the last thing to consider.
