Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Anne Heather hugged her laptop, nestled on the sofa, stared at the computer screen intently, and devoted herself to her world of reading.

After finishing the meal, Evan Yibel and others, Jing Sheng, were in the dining room, with two cups of coffee and a cup of orange juice on the table. In fact, Evan-Bell has had no problems with his stomach for a long time now, but he still needs to be warmed up. It has been intensive publicity for nearly three months recently, so it is better to pay attention to some.

"The publishing house agreed to publish it so quickly? It's unexpected." Evan Bell's tone was a little sighing and a little ridiculing. Today, Michelle Heather came to me, Teddy Bell, to meet with the representative of the publishing house and to formally finalize the publication of the novel.

Michelle Heather couldn't help laughing, "'Evan Bell, don't you know how valuable this name is now?"

"Tell me!" Evan Bell said with rounded eyes and a shocked look on his face. The anticipation in his tone was ironic, making Michelle Heather and Teddy Bell both laugh.

"How about the number of 1 million copies of the first edition? Are you confident?" Michelle Heather was smiling, so she spoke intermittently, but the "one million" was still clearly conveyed. come out.

In the publishing industry, the number of first edition swipes to a large extent reflects the publisher's confidence in the work, especially when the publishing industry is going downhill all the way, if the number of first edition slashes is not appropriate, there is a danger of losing money. It is very likely that a publishing house will go out of business.

At present, there are only a handful of works in the North American market with the first edition of Mao brushes exceeding one million. For example, it is more intuitive to compare the first edition of the "Twilight" series. There were only 500,000 copies, but because this book quickly became the champion of the major sales charts, by the time of the second book "New Moon" in the series, the first edition had been raised to 700,000, and the third The number of brushes on the first edition of this "Eclipse" officially exceeded one million. The "Twilight" series is currently the most powerful novel in the United States, and it is even comparable to the "Harry Potter" series.

At present, more than 2 billion copies of the phenomenal work "Harry Potter" have been created in the world. In which year, the first edition of the first "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was only 1,000 copies. This also makes the first edition of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" a collectible, and it's a hot commodity at auction.

It can be seen that it is a great determination for the publishing house to provide the first edition of Evan Bell's novel with a contract of 1 million copies. As far as Evan-Bell himself was concerned, he originally thought that the first edition of 500,000 would be overwhelming.

"They're not worried about sales, I'm worried." Evan Bell said with a smile, "If the novel is published and can't be sold, it's not that they have to rely on me to participate in publicity, book signings, etc., but the pressure is still there. I'll take it."

"Don't worry, the publishing house will not bet on its own future. The one million figure was decided after several discussions and struggles." Deep personnel, so he obviously knows the situation better than Evan Bell, "The name of the novel is determined to be 'One day, huh? Wouldn't it be too simple?"

Evan Yibel shook his head, "The content of the novel itself runs through the whole text throughout the day. The most important thing is that the overall style of my writing is relatively simple. If it is matched with a title with too many adjectives, it will be inappropriate." At this point, Evan-Bell thought for a while and said, "What's 'Love for one day a year,' 'One day for a dog', etc. are all too hypocritical; if the title of the book is called 'July 15th, it would be It's kind of interesting, but I feel that the name should be matched with a very philosophical story or something."

Michelle Heather couldn't help laughing while listening to Evan and Bell's book titles, "It's called 'one day', and there's nothing wrong with it. "Then Michelle Heather looked at Teddy Bell, who was born next to her, "When will Eden confirm the Completion Division?" "

"I don't know, I'll let him as soon as possible." Teddy Bell replied. Within a few days of 2009, Eden-Hudson rushed to Palo Alto, and the lawsuit against Eduardo-Savarin made further progress. His plan to publish a novel had been formally confirmed. Not surprisingly, a novel about Facebook from the perspective of Eduardo-Savarin will be published this year. Eduardo-Savarin felt that venting his anger was enough, and finally agreed to try again to reach a settlement agreement on Facebook.

Eden-Hudson has been busy in Palo Alto these days. The latest news is that the court will reopen in early February. Before that, if the settlement agreement between Eden-Savarin and Facebook If it can be reached, then the lawsuit can be formally resolved at the hearing in early February.

Therefore, Eden-Hudson was busier than Evan-Bell during this period. Teddy-Bell could only hand over the joint study to Eden-Hudson, but there was no way to keep urging him.

"Is there a charter for the parade against Proposition 8? If you need my help, just say it." Evan Bell was not in a hurry about the publication of the novel.

Michelle Heather was looking at Teddy Bell, and when she heard the topic of Evan Bell, she immediately turned her head, "By the way, today I and I, Teddy, are on the 8th, apart from the publication. I also need your help with the proposal. You recently found a time to record a video for us, three minutes." Michelle Heather did not politely ask, "Do you have time?" In response to my own request," Mark Scheiman recently wrote a miniature musical satire "The Musical: Proposition 8" which debuted on utube. You can adapt this musical into your version, record it, and upload it to utube. superior."

Mark Schellman, a very well-known arranger in the circle, can be seen in the soundtracks of movies such as "Fork in the Sea", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Southern Principality" and "Nuns Are Crazy". work.

Evan Bell nodded, "No problem, I'll go watch this video.

"He picked up the orange meter, took a sip, and then asked, "Didn't you say there was a parade recently? How is the situation? "

When Michelle Heather spoke about Proposition 8, his mood fluctuated a bit. Obviously, he was still very upset about this proposal, but he didn't let himself get out of control, but broadcast the link, saying, "I plan to postpone it for the time being. , we need to know the next charter of the court. I heard that the Mormons have recently started a nationwide rent awareness campaign. They want to take the lead in financing and strive to support the implementation of Proposition 8. We can't do it without a plan, and we can't blindly Opposition for opposition's sake, this is a struggle for Meinuma, and we must cheer up!"

"This is definitely not an easy battle, don't be too hasty, take your time. This is your basic right, and it will come back to you one day." Evan Bell's words are not empty words, but facts . Imagine that throughout the long history, the issues of race, racial discrimination, and the issue of opposing war have all been the long-term struggle of Mian Ting for decades. Even in the current environment where everyone has reached the prohibition of racial discrimination, it is actually ambush on the calm surface of society. Discrimination is still ubiquitous. This is especially true of **** marriage, a culture ingrained in society as a whole.

Michelle Heather nodded, showing a wry smile, "Don't worry, we have persevered for so many years, and we will not be hit easily. We must persevere and work hard. So, I will not Give up easily, let alone be knocked down at will. Michelle Heather took a deep breath, calming her tumbling mind, "If you need help later, I will tell you directly, don't worry. "Speaking of this, Michelle Heather couldn't help laughing. With the support of Evan Bell, it really helped them a lot.

"'Ai Yiping (ve), how's the royalty income, is it enough? I've been working hard for the last three months of publicity, and I always have to have some results," Evan Yibel said with a smile. All the related income of the song "Equality" has been given to the organization supporting **** marriage and expressed its support with practical actions.

Although Michelle Heather expressed her feelings in her heart, she couldn't help but jokingly said, "You should put the 'Twenty-One Shots or 'Theghten' royalty free We were right."

Evan-Bell raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "No problem, you can try to negotiate with the anti-war group." This made Michelle Heather immediately burst into laughter.

After all was said and done, Michelle Heather and Teddy Bell went to watch TV, Eden Hudson was in Palo Alto and Michelle Heather could sleep with him s room. Evan-Bell, on the other hand, went online on the sofa to Annie-Hasher, who was addicted to the world of novels. Looking at the faint blue light of the computer screen reflected on Annie-Hasher's face, there was a touch of touch in the serenity. It made her classical and arrogant face look inspiring.

Evan-Bell walked over and gave birth beside Anne Heather, but Anne and Heather didn't move, she still focused on the computer screen, her long eyelashes seemed to be covered by a curtain, and the pair of watery eyes big eyes staring at the screen intently. Evan-Bell couldn't help laughing, "My novel is so wonderful? I'm very encouraged, don't you intend to express an admonition to the hard-working author?" Anne-Haise raised her hand and waved it vacantly, Signaled Evan-Bell not to disturb Baiji. Evan Bell reluctantly broadcast the broadcast, kissed Anne Heather on the cheek, stood up again, and watched TV with Teddy Bell and the others.
