My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Chapter 800

In the next two weeks, Ye Zhiqiu participated in the book signing sessions of The Legend of the Condor Heroes in several big cities.

After nearly half a month of release, the physical book of The Legend of the Condor Heroes sold more than 400,000 copies, which is slightly different from the sales of the previous works.

However, this is normal. Both Zhu Xian and The Legend of Sword and Fairy were first serialized online, and then the physical books were released after attracting a large number of fans. There are also corresponding music albums, which will have a much better publicity effect.

According to market rules, the first month after the release of a new book is generally the time with the highest sales, and the growth will tend to be flat later, unless there is a sudden hot spot that allows it to re-enter the public's field of vision, which can drive another wave of sales.

For example, during the broadcast of the TV series The Legend of Sword and Fairy, the sales of physical books increased significantly.

According to this trend, even if the sales of The Legend of the Condor Heroes can break one million, it will take a long time, but Orange Reading Network is quite satisfied with this result.

If we say that this performance is poor, it is only compared with Ye Zhiqiu's previous books. The sales of nearly 500,000 physical books are definitely a "super-best-selling" novel in the current market.

The book signing event came to an end, and Ye Zhiqiu returned to Shangjing and came to the National Television Building again.

——The second season of "China in Classics" is ready to start.

After the first season of this program was broadcast, it was well received, set many records at the time, and became a social hot spot for a while.

The name card of "large-scale cultural variety show benchmark" has been put out, and it is natural to maintain it well. In the preparation process of the second season, the program team will naturally not forget to find the key figure Ye Zhiqiu again.

Don't forget that in the first season, Ye Zhiqiu not only served as a screenwriter and actor, but also served as a "book recommender".

In fact, when the invitation was issued, the program team was a little uncertain. After all, Ye Zhiqiu is too popular now. He is also on the American Bulletin Board and guest-starred in Hollywood blockbusters. The schedule may not match.

Fortunately, after the invitation was sent out, Ye Zhiqiu agreed very readily, and the program team was relieved.

In the final analysis, Ye Zhiqiu's previous role was too important. Although he already had one season of experience, it was still reassuring to have Ye Zhiqiu, the "founder", in charge of the team.

The following process was much smoother. Ye Zhiqiu came to the familiar TV station building, met with the program team, and signed the relevant contracts.

Due to the schedule, Ye Zhiqiu will not appear as an actor this time, but he will still serve as a "book recommender" and join the screenwriter team.

After signing the contract, the newly appointed director of the variety channel, who was about 40 years old, shook hands with Ye Zhiqiu excitedly.

"Zhiqiu, welcome! Thank you for your contribution to this program!"

"It should be, it's also my honor." Ye Zhiqiu said politely.

"You are too modest." The middle-aged director laughed and said, "You have made an indelible contribution to the success of this program."

"I took over this project not long after I was transferred to the variety channel. I am under a lot of pressure. I still need your help, Zhiqiu."

"Zhiqiu, you are a professional. If you have any suggestions, improvement measures or needs for the program, please feel free to give me some!"

"I can't say I have any suggestions."

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the list of program groups he had just received and asked curiously, "The format of this season's program still retains the role of literary expert consultant. Didn't Mr. Qin take on the role again?"

In the first season, Qin Dewen, who served as an expert consultant, was widely praised by the audience in the program with his profound knowledge and simple conversation.

"That's right." The middle-aged director explained, "We contacted Mr. Qin's assistant as soon as possible, and they said that Mr. Qin was unwell recently and declined."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said nothing more.

If I remember correctly, Mr. Qin is already over 80 years old. One episode of the program takes four or five hours to record, which consumes a lot of mental and physical energy. It is normal for him to stop participating due to physical reasons.

After completing the formalities, he came out of the TV station building and just got into the business car when his agent Song Mei said, "Zhiqiu, I have something to tell you."

"We understand that Mr. Qin originally wanted to participate in the second season of "China in Classics", but he didn't participate because his physical condition was not optimistic and he has been hospitalized for a while."

"This is confidential to the outside world. It was Mr. Qin's granddaughter Qin Xiaoyu who contacted us just now."

"She also said that she read your new novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to Mr. Qin, and Mr. Qin was very interested, so Qin Xiaoyu asked you to visit Mr. Qin and chat with him if you have time..."

Hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu, who understood, said without hesitation, "Where is the hospital? Is it convenient to go there now?"

In Ye Zhiqiu's heart, he was highly respected and truly had the style of a literati.Qin Dewen, who was very respectful of him, had also helped him a lot. It was reasonable for him to visit him at this time.

"Okay, let's go to Shangjing." Song Mei said.

"Let's go."

......

After driving for nearly an hour, Ye Zhiqiu and others arrived at a quiet place that looked more like a nursing home.

Soon, Ye Zhiqiu and Song Mei met Qin Xiaoyu and greeted her briefly.

Qin Xiaoyu, who had just entered college, was very outgoing. On the way to the ward, she explained: "Grandpa likes quietness. After being hospitalized, he doesn't like others to visit him. He said that people coming and going are too noisy. Now he likes to listen to me read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" every day."

"Then, when listening to the story, Grandpa talked about you, Brother Ye, several times, saying something like... it's a pity that you have talent but don't concentrate on writing poetry and lyrics."

Speaking of this, Qin Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue. She didn't quite agree with this view.

As a fan, she still hopes that Ye Zhiqiu can develop more diversified. If he is devoted to studying literature all day, how can he listen to so many good songs?

Qin Xiaoyu continued: "Although grandpa does not admit it, I think he should want to chat with you, brother Ye, so I took the initiative to contact you."

"Brother Ye, grandpa doesn't know that you are coming to visit..."

During the chat, several people soon came to a ward, and Qin Xiaoyu opened the door and walked in first.

"Grandpa, someone is here to see you."

"Guess who it is, there is a surprise!"

Qin Dewen's puzzled voice came from the room through the door.

"Someone is here? Who is it, those old friends from the Poetry Association?"

In addition to Qin Dewen, there was another middle-aged man's voice.

"Xiaoyu, why didn't I know someone was visiting today?"

Qin Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Oh, of course you don't know who I found."

"Don't worry, it's definitely the person grandpa wants to see."

As he said that, Qin Xiaoyu walked to the door and opened it.

"Dengdengdeng!"
