Chapter 165: The Terror Cruise is a Hot Sale
In March, after the change of leadership in the old Soviet Union, the world situation eased. Although the empire graveyard was still full of gunfire, the Yuehou side was much quieter.
Without Lao Su's support, Yuehou was short of resources. Although he wanted to attack, he had to reduce the frequency of his attacks due to lack of supplies.
From the smiles of the Thai representatives, it can be seen that with the reduction of the threat of war, Thailand's economy has immediately improved, box office revenue has gradually increased, and is rapidly recovering to pre-war levels.
Copyright fees also rose, although the increase was not much, only 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is also good news for Tomorrow Film Company.
The overseas copyright was sold for HK$ million, setting a new record. The three "Chinatown Detective" movies surpassed "Best Partner" and "Lucky Stars" series to become the most successful Hong Kong series of movies in recent years.
The media praised this highly, which fed back to the movie, and unexpectedly made the box office of "Detective Chinatown 3" rise instead of falling. However, it fell back again the next day.
By the time "Detective Chinatown 3" was closed, the total box office was 5238 million.
Many Hong Kong people are sighing that making movies is really profitable! Therefore, more hot money is ready to enter the film and television industry. The prosperity of the film and television industry has also prompted more talents to join, wanting to make some quick money. More and more beautiful girls have also entered this circle, wanting to become famous overnight.
When the eyes of all Hong Kong were focused on the film and television industry, a new book appeared in bookstores of all sizes in Hong Kong and was placed in a prominent position. The book was wrapped in a paper cover, and the paper cover read: "Chinatown Detective 3" screenwriter, famous writer Liu Hongmin's new work.
The words on the book cover are very big, so the book cover is also very big, covering most of the name of the book, and only the word "恐" at the top can be seen.
People from other countries and regions would pick up the book cover out of curiosity and look at the title before deciding whether to buy it. But Hong Kong people don't even look at the title, they just pick up a book and pay for it.
In Hong Kong, this kind of publicity has become the standard for Liu Hongmin's new books. You may not like the books you buy, but the money you spent will definitely not be wasted. Just like "Infiltration" and "Kite", many Hong Kong people think that such spy novels are a bit boring. But no one thinks that the money was wasted. Every time they immerse themselves in these two books, they will gain something.
There are many social skills in spy novels. Although many of these skills were made up by Liu Hongmin based on TV dramas, many of them can still be used in real life.
Even if you can learn one way of dealing with people from it, the money you spent on the book will be well worth it.
Of course, there are many people who want to imitate the book cover promotion method, but unfortunately they have very few points to promote. Liu Hongmin has too many halos, and the traffic of "Chinatown Detective" is even more terrifying. Only by combining the two can readers trust the book.
Others cannot compare with Liu Hongmin in writing achievements, let alone his achievements in other fields.
The so-called Dong Shi imitating Pin is nothing more than this.
The people of Hong Kong themselves did not realize their trust in Liu Hongmin. After buying the book, they immediately began to read it with great interest.
The book "Ghost Ship" is not suitable for older people. Its target audience is young people. However, young people in Hong Kong have too many things to play with, and even students rarely read books.
The middle-aged man who bought the book read halfway through and found that he was not very interested, so he put the book aside. However, the children at home saw it. They saw a huge cruise ship photo on the cover and the title and thought it was a horror novel! When they opened it, they found it was actually a suspense novel.
“It seems a bit weird.”
The young man put the book down. He liked to read suspense novels, but he couldn't understand a novel as confusing as "The Ship".
After sitting for a while, the young man couldn't help but pick up the book. He was really curious about the truth of this cruise ship.
The next day, the students came to school and started showing off to their friends.
"Let me tell you, I read an amazing novel, it's full of fantastic ideas."
My companions were very curious, "Is it true? What kind of novel is so awesome?" "The Grim Reaper, it's about a mother who wants to return to her child and kills herself."
His companions were all confused, "What the hell is this? Killed himself?"
"You will understand once you see it. I can't explain it to you."
My classmates were speechless, but they became curious about "The Ship". After school, many of them went to the bookstore and asked about "The Ship". The salesperson immediately introduced it to them, "It's a new work by the famous writer Liu Hongmin, and it's on the shelf at the door of the store!"
"Liu Hongmin's book?" The students exclaimed, and hurried to the door, and saw the big words on the book cover at a glance.
"It really is!"
"Aren't books written by Liu Hongmin only for the elderly? My dad likes to read his books."
"You said your father is an old man?"
"Is not it?"
Several people pushed each other, and one of them picked up a copy of "Ghost Ship" and went to pay.
This situation happened repeatedly in various schools in Hong Kong, and then quickly spread to society. Employees who had just started working started watching it, and then led other people in other companies. Soon, "Ghost Ship" swept the entire young people in Hong Kong.
However, the people who like "The Cruise" the most are not these students and employees, but the foreigners in Hong Kong.
They had read many reincarnation novels, but none of them were as exciting as "The Ship". Soon, "The Ship" became popular among young foreigners, and they often gathered together to discuss the plot.
Yang Guiren happily ran to Tomorrow Film Company, "Brother Liu, you are amazing! Detective Chinatown 3 has just become popular, and now Grim Reaper is sweeping Hong Kong again. Even Jin Yong can't do this."
Liu Hongmin was very calm, "The sales volume is out?"
"It's out!" Yang Guiren pushed a report in front of Liu Hongmin, "In five days, 80,000 copies were sold."
Liu Hongmin was a little surprised, "So many?"
“They are all students who are still in school or have just graduated. They love to chase trendy things the most.”
Liu Hongmin expressed his understanding that if novels become popular, their sales will only be lower than those of toys.
“What are the expected prospects?”
"It should be more than 200,000." Yang Guiren said, "This trend should last for a few more days. By the way, Brother Liu, you should ask Random House to speed up the translation. The Grim Reaper is very appealing to Europeans and Americans, and it should sell quite a lot in Europe and America."
Liu Hongmin nodded, "I will urge them."
