    "Okay, let me tell you, boys." At this time, Sean also stood up at the right time. If he didn't speak, he might have a good meeting and be interviewed by his employees like a reporter: "  Perhaps you may have doubts about Mr. Yang Yi's identity as the author of "Twilight" because of his age, but what I want to say is that someone who can write a work recognized by the Booker Prize jury cannot be in  If there is a ghostwriter in this kind of thing, then why should the real author hide behind the scenes and give up the opportunity of fame and fortune to a young man? Now, you can continue to communicate, but you are just stuck in communication?  , rather than questioning him." "Actually, there is no need for Sean to speak. Most of the editors, or book agents, have fully recognized Yang Yi. After all, even some of them may not know their own country.  There is also the small town of Afalol, and it is not clear what the role of Maloko's three-piece cobbler's suit is, so the atmosphere becomes lively immediately.  And when Yang Yi and the others had in-depth discussions on some small details in the promotion and marketing, the interest of these people became even higher.  In fact, unlike Yang Yi's initial impression, these people are more marketers than editors. However, the products they market are limited to books, so they don't have much impression of Yang Yi.  The behavior of people with traditional Chinese culture is very cheerful and enthusiastic, which is also a common trait of sales staff.  The boys talked to them about sales techniques and marketing methods, which naturally scratched their itch.  I feel that the little boy in front of me is really different from ordinary people, which is very interesting.  After having an in-depth communication with Yang Yi.  These people didn't let the boys go either, and held a welcome banquet in the apartment in the evening. It can't be said that they were so decadent and decadent, but this was also the difference between the culture of Citigroup and the culture of China. Yang Yi could only take advantage of it at the drop of a hat.  Next.  After staying at Peacock Publishing Company for a day, early in the morning on the third day, two buses transferred from the group headquarters stopped at the door of the apartment.  Waiting for this marketing team to use.  After packing their things, everyone boarded the car and drove straight to the first stop of the trip, the Princeton High School campus in the center of San Francisco.  After arriving at the San Francisco branch of this famous high school in the United States, Yang Yicai discovered that as an advanced country with decades of experience in the operation of cultural products.  The sales group of any publishing company on the other side is much more experienced than the domestic sales team. No, before you enter the campus, you can see the billboards set up outside and the dedicated personnel - in fact  That is, school students who were hired - were handing out leaflets.  After seeing the Peacock Company bus, the students who were handing out leaflets at the school gate even had the time and mood to wave to the bus. The smiling faces obviously did not regard the matter at hand as work, but as a more interesting activity.  social activity.  After entering the campus.  On a playground that was actually the school football field.  The rostrum has been set up, and there are even vampire characters cosplayed by students walking around under the rostrum. Seeing this scene, Yang Yi was completely convinced. He originally thought that the cosplay event he planned in China was already considered a cosplay event.  Unexpectedly, I am the first person to eat crabs. I didn’t expect that even an ordinary author’s book signing event in Citiland can produce such a scene. It seems that in Citiland,  In some respects, developed countries still have the advantages of developed countries.  In addition to the students who came to watch, the guys who played the characters in "The Twilight Saga", and the event staff from Peacock Publishing Company, there were actually many parents of students waiting there. This was also the reason for Sean's advance  As mentioned by Yang Yi - this time the nationwide promotion is not just about selling books, but more importantly about selling his successful experience, and the latter is a "commodity" that is particularly valued in this country.  After taking a deep breath, Yang Yi walked down with the marketing team. When they saw the "rightful owner" arriving, the students and their parents suddenly opened their eyes wide. It was obvious that a person from a foreign country came.  Young authors who have created a book storm in Citizen and whose works have appeared on the New York Times monthly bestseller list are also very attractive to them.  Needless to say, in the following activities, the main characters appeared one after another, and even from Princeton Middle School, a big shot in charge of extracurricular education for students came over. After meeting Yang Yi and the people from Peacock Company, they all took the chair.  Taiwan, started this promotion activity.  There were no cumbersome leaders to speak. The whole event started as an interactive activity between readers and authors. After attending many similar events in China, Yang Yi was quite unaccustomed to this style, but he immediately got used to it.After all, in his own heart, he quite recognized this model.  However, this good interactive atmosphere was quickly interrupted by a reporter-looking guy: "Sorry, I am a reporter from the Washington Post. I have a question for this young man from China.  "Sir. " Since it was an interaction, it wouldn't be a surprise to see a reporter come in when parents and students were asking questions. Therefore, the middle-aged lady from Peacock Publishing Company, who served as the host, looked at the other person.  He nodded and smiled, indicating that the other party could ask questions. Although the scene seemed harmonious, Yang Yi couldn't help but guess in his heart that the reason why the lady from the marketing department agreed so readily to the other party's interview request was probably because of Watson.  The Post is Random House friendly, something Sean mentioned to him before he came over.  "Thank you for giving me this opportunity to ask questions. In fact, I am also a loyal reader of "Twilight". As early as this novel first appeared in the bookstore next to my house and was brought home by my son, I have been reading it.  I started reading this novel" Although the reporter's questioning style was quite roundabout, Yang Yi saw a hint of ill-intention in the other person's eyes, and then the boy's heart suddenly  As soon as he moved, he unreasonably thought of the solemn worry deep in Sean's eyes when he greeted him at the airport.  At this time, everyone was waiting for the reporter's question, but the reporter shrugged his shoulders, looked back at the surrounding audience, and looked at the students and their parents who had begun to look a bit incomprehensible, and continued to smile:  "After reading for such a long time, I suddenly discovered that the style of the entire novel seems to have been written by an author who has an unusual understanding of Citizen culture. But it is said that Mr. Iljan has done this for the first time so far.  I came to this country, so can you explain to everyone why you can describe a country that has never been there before?" Before everyone could recover from his question, the relevant personnel of Peacock Publishing Company couldn't help but  Standing up, the other party continued: "Please listen to the following excerpt from "The Twilight Saga" - Sister Colombanus is the first, it is Lenny who went to school for two years but had poor grades.  She is the principal of a good girls' middle school. She is an extraordinary person with a pair of absent-minded and very beautiful eyes. She shook her head with self-pity almost from beginning to end during the interview. Because of Lenny's potential, she  It was not discovered. She said again and again: "She had two tricks, really two tricks, but we didn't find it.  "Sister Colombanus - a mathematician with a Ph.D. who still reads professional books and periodicals today (with the help of a magnifying glass!) - is a typical figure in the early women's educational liberation movement, but unfortunately she was not involved in it because she was wearing a nun's uniform.  It was not known and even less appreciated. When the author politely asked her for details of her life, she said that as early as 1918, she was running around in a burlap gown and was well received at that time.  She was more ridiculed, scorned, and ridiculed than many hippies today. When she listened to the author's story about Lenny's life, her dull eyes became brighter, and she sighed and said slightly excitedly: "It's too much.  , It’s too much—she deserves it!” What baffled the author was this comment. When leaving, she shyly glanced at the grape leaf-shaped ceramic ashtray on the table. Perhaps this ashtray was rarely used.  Yes, maybe it was only occasionally that a high-quality cigar smoked by a priest was extinguished in it, but this time there were four cigarette butts lying in the ashes in a disgraceful manner. The second nun, Prudenzia, had served as Lenny's German.  Teacher. She is slightly less elegant than Colombanus, and her cheeks are slightly rosier, but she cannot be said to be rosy, but the rosiness from her early years is still vaguely visible, while the skin on Sister Columbanus’s face clearly shows that she was older when she was young.  It's such a pale statement" After reading a long excerpt, the reporter with uncomfortable twinkling eyes sneered proudly: "Excuse me, this is a young man who has never been to Citiland.  , can you write it casually? Sorry, personally, I don’t think so. Only someone who knows the real situation of a church school can give such a vivid description. As far as I know,  It seems that on the other side of the distant ocean, in the country called China, there is no similar church college? " At this time, everyone who heard his accusation fell silent, and they changed from whispering to each other at the beginning.  It became a silent wait-and-see. Many parents accepted their children’s suggestions and accompanied their sons or daughters to participate in this event because they wanted their children to learn successful experience from a young writer from a foreign country.  But if even the writers are committing fraud, then according to the common practice in Citizen society, they will definitely protest against the school and Peacock Publishing Company.  EvenPeople from Peacock Publishing Company were also surprised and froze on the spot, because as Sean told Yang Yi, the Washington Post has always been a friendly media to Random House, and will be available when Random House needs it.  , often provide a series of corresponding cooperation with the publicity work of the latter's publishing companies.  But now, it seems that the situation is somewhat unexpected.  (To be continued.
