Chapter 500: European and American Circles: Invitation to a Cocktail Party
"Editor-in-Chief, this is the information I compiled overnight. The book is called "Game of Thrones" and was written by Su Yang from China. This is his information..."
Zheng Yi handed Frank the information he had compiled overnight. Frank's eyes lit up when he heard Su Yang's name, because he knew Su Yang and he usually followed some entertainment news. He first heard about Su Yang when Dream Age went bankrupt, because Frank had also been a fan of Dream Age.
After the Dream Era scandal broke, Frank remembered Su Yang's name. However, that was all he knew about Su Yang. He only knew that Su Yang was an artist from China, and a rather disappointing one at that.
After all, Frank was usually quite busy, so even if he knew about it, he was only interested in the European and American entertainment industry. Su Yang was quite famous in China, but not so famous in the United States.
Frank picked up the materials prepared by Zheng Yi and read them carefully, but he did not look at Su Yang's materials first. Instead, he looked at the book compiled by Zheng Yi first.
Zheng Yi copied and pasted Su Yang's Twitter content overnight, then printed it out and bound it into a book.
"A Game of Thrones..."
Frank smiled slightly at the name. It was a good name, at least it suited his taste. He opened the book and began to read.
But the more I watched, the more serious I became, and the more fascinated I became.
The story slowly unfolds, slowly depicting a grand medieval magical tale. The book revised by Su Yang is even more exciting and interesting than the original version.
Frank read page by page, but Zheng Yi remained calm and waited quietly. Zheng Yi had also stayed up all night yesterday to finish reading Su Yang's updates. He was so surprised after finishing that he didn't even take a break to immediately organize the book and Su Yang's information.
In Zheng Yi's view, this is an opportunity, an opportunity that belongs to him.
If I can successfully sign this book, then this book will become my achievement. If the book sells well enough, I can not only get more bonuses, but also have a good chance of getting a higher position, such as the position of deputy editor-in-chief.
Zheng Yi was also very confident in himself because, being Chinese, he had a natural advantage in negotiating with Su Yang. He also realized it early enough; if he hadn't stumbled upon the book last night, he certainly wouldn't have been so prompt.
Frank read attentively while Zheng Yi waited quietly. After reading for over half an hour, Frank finally looked up. Although he hadn't finished reading yet, he could already see the potential of the book.
The story is good, the writing is good, the setting is rigorous, and Frank is so experienced. After only half an hour of watching, Frank knew the author's ability.
This is definitely a super awesome author. Reluctantly putting it on the manuscript, Frank picked up Su Yang's personal profile and read it. After reading it, Frank's eyes widened.
"Zheng, is Su Yang really that amazing? He's the artist with the most fans in the world!"
Frank asked in disbelief.
"Editor-in-chief, yes, Su Yang's influence in China is unprecedented. He is a legendary figure. The information I collected is just some information publicly available online. But this alone is enough to surprise people. Although Su Yang is a Chinese, his influence is still great. Most importantly, the quality of this book is good, isn't it?"
Zheng Yi said seriously.
"You're right, Zheng. I'm giving you the fullest authorization now. Please ensure you secure the global distribution rights for this book."
Frank said seriously.
"Editor-in-Chief, I'll go right away. But I probably won't be able to get it published in China. Su Yang's influence in China is too great."
Zheng Yi said this seriously, and Frank nodded. This time, signing with Random House was not a proactive move, because according to the information, Su Yang was a super-rich man, and he didn't care about the copyright fee at all.
"Then try your best to win it. Zheng, this is your chance. According to the information, Su Yang is the president of a media company and a super-rich man. In the future, this novel will most likely be adapted into a TV series, a movie, or even a game. Perhaps this book will have a very long life. We must take the long view. If this book performs well, it may be possible for you to make further progress..."
Frank said with a smile, which made Zheng Yi laugh.
After Zheng Yi left, Frank picked up Game of Thrones again. Frank was nearing retirement age, and he had a very good impression of Zheng Yi. Although he wasn't white, Zheng Yi had advantages that white people didn't have.
Hardworking, persevering, and very intelligent. If this job goes well, Frank wouldn't mind writing a letter of recommendation to the board.
After obtaining authorization, Zheng Yi took action immediately.
As one of the Big Four publishers, Random House had its own information channels. Zheng Yi quickly found the phone number for Qingyao Media.
Then after a series of contacts, Zheng Yi finally got an exact address and a contact number.
At noon, Zheng Yi bought the earliest flight to France.
At the moment, Su Yang was playing in Paris with his children. They traveled leisurely from the south of France to the north, enjoying life quietly without rushing or getting impatient.
The four little guys are full of energy every day, and all the children love to play. Especially now that Su Yang and Qin Shuyao are accompanying them, they are even happier and play very crazy.
Qin Shuyao and Su Yang are also very energetic and don’t feel too tired even if they take care of two children for a whole day.
"Hello……"
In the afternoon local time, Su Yang suddenly received a strange phone call.
"Is this Su Yang? Hello, I'm Kent, the head of Netflix's European branch. I heard you were in France. We have a cocktail party tonight. Would you be able to join us?"
Kent introduced himself on the phone.
Su Yang's whereabouts were no secret, as many netizens had been reporting on his whereabouts. Meanwhile, Netflix had Su Yang on its radar, as it was one of the few companies aware of his true strength and potential.
Netflix is also envious of China's huge market. Although Netflix has not yet entered China, it has been making preparations.
Netflix was the clearest observer of Su Yang's influence in China and Asia. After all, they had the most detailed data on "Kingdom." Now that they knew Su Yang had arrived in France, Netflix's European branch was headquartered there. As the person in charge, Kent naturally wanted to build a closer relationship with Su Yang.
"Mr. Kent, discuss this with me. I'll call you back shortly."
Su Yang hung up the phone with a smile, and then told Qin Shuyao about this matter. Qin Shuyao smiled and nodded after hearing this, saying that Su Yang should go. After all, they invited him sincerely, and building a good relationship with Netflix would not be a bad thing for Su Yang or the company.
