The autograph session will be a pity for many fans.

Lu Yuan did not add any more book signings.

Although the organizer apologized to Lu Yuan again and again and hoped that Lu Yuan could sign a few more books, Lu Yuan quickly and neatly refused.

sign?

There is no problem with signing, but how can he sign?

He doesn't even know his own name!

If he was forced to sign, he might not even know his name was Lu Yuan and would forget who he was.

Lu Yuan naturally refused, and for him, signing one thousand copies was already his best effort.

Many fans who arrived late were immediately annoyed and disappointed when they heard that Lu Yuan would no longer increase the number of autograph sessions.

They kept asking the organizer where the next book signing event would be held so that they could prepare in advance.

pity……

The organizer's response to them was that this would be the only signing event, and when the next one would be would depend on Lu Yuan's personal wishes. They had no say in these matters.

The organizers might be a little more arrogant and tough with other people, but they can't be tough when it comes to Lu Yuan and his men.

After hearing this news, these fans were even more disappointed!

They even hate themselves for not being able to sleep a little less and arrive earlier.

Unfortunately, some things are missed once they are missed.

There is no medicine for regret in this world.

The reporters were also disappointed. In the past, after signing the documents, the writers would happily participate in a series of promotional interviews in front of the camera. This was a common practice.

They were all preparing for the highlight of the interview after the autograph session, but Lu Yuan did not follow the rules at all. Not only did he not accept their interview, he even refused to go on stage to interact with the host and fans.

He signed the contract without saying a word and left without any delay. He was really a big shot.

If it were any other writer or celebrity, they would have already criticized this kind of arrogant behavior to the point that their parents wouldn't recognize them. At the same time, fans would think that this person is too arrogant and not worth following, and would definitely choose to lose fans...

But this person is no ordinary person.

This person is Lu Yuan.

Yes.

He is Lu Yuan!

Since Lu Yuan made his debut, except for the lucky guy Zhou Shuai who did an extremely valuable exclusive interview with Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan has ignored other reporters and refused to accept any interviews at all.

and……

Does Lu Yuan care about his own reputation?

If he cared about his reputation, he wouldn't do this online...

so……

They are used to it.

At most they could just curse a few words to vent their anger, there was really nothing else they could do.

…

This signing event was undoubtedly a huge success in terms of popularity.

All media and most entertainment TV stations were broadcasting this signing event.

However, if we look at it from other aspects, this signing event was really a failure.

Yes.

Lu Yuan gave away a total of one thousand signed books, but it is hard to say how many of these books were from fans.

Moreover, the people who came to this book signing event were a mixed bunch.

Some people truly support Lu Yuan, some people buy it just to get Lu Yuan's calligraphy, some people buy it to collect, and some people think that Lu Yuan's first signed book is absolutely commemorative and its future value is absolutely immeasurable.

However, there are very few people who actually read books.

Yes.

Not much.

Yang Susu deeply summed up this book signing event, and she felt very sorry for Lu Yuan.

This is not a matter of pomp and circumstance, it is a mistake in arrangement and selection of book fans, and many details are handled poorly...

Although it was not a serious fault, she felt extremely guilty.

Lu Yuan also had a deep reflection on this hand-holding and meeting.

First, he felt that if he wrote similar novels in the future, he would choose a simpler pen name, such as "Ding Yi, Yi Er", "Er San" or simply a name with the number 0.

0It’s so easy, just draw a circle and it’s done.

At the same time, after Lu Yuan carefully reviewed the signing event, he felt that he had lost money at this event.

One thousand...

Damn it!

How much loss is this?

I am usually a very smart person, how could I make such a mistake this time?

Still not thinking twice enough.

Many things are valuable because they are rare. After selling a thousand copies, the signature will naturally depreciate a little.

Although one thousand books are really not a lot, it would be better for me to do fewer such signing events in the future. Even if I really have to do one, it would be best to just do twenty or thirty books as a token of my appreciation.

As for other details, Lu Yuan didn't think there was anything to care about.

Anyway, it's just like that and I'm quite satisfied.

As for sales...

Lu Yuan also understood that it was useless even if he cared more.

The publicity has been done very well, and all the necessary cooperation has been done. As for other things...

Well, we can only try our best and follow God’s will!

After all, the Internet is booming in this world, online shopping is becoming more and more prosperous, and mobile entertainment is gradually starting to catch up with the trend. The sales of physical books are basically impossible to be too optimistic...

This is the trend of the times, just like the increasingly sluggish album market. Ten years ago, a popular album could sell more than 10 million copies, and 7 or 8 million copies were easy to come by. Even the top American singer Michael Weiss set a terrifying global sales record of 40 million albums during his peak period...

But over the next decade until now, the albums have basically gone downhill.

Let alone tens of millions, even an album that sold seven or eight million copies would be considered a hit. As for other first-tier singers, their albums basically only sold four or five million copies. For example, Wang Long's album "Sailor" sold nearly three million copies, which is definitely a hit...

In fact, the album "Sailor" could have sold more, but Lu Yuan saw that this era was getting closer and closer to the Internet era, so he chose to stop it halfway when it was booming...

The effect of the suspension is quite good. At least the album "Sailor" is gradually becoming out of print...

The same is true in the novel industry.

Lu Yuan specifically investigated the sales of physical books of some traditional writers and first-tier writers. Basically, they only sold about one million copies at most. As for the particularly popular novels, they sold over four or five million copies...

But that is rare.

It is far less than the era ten years ago when tens of millions of copies were sold.

Therefore, Lu Yuan was really calm about the sales of "The Legend of Sun Wukong" and didn't even care about it.

After eating something and taking a nap on the plane, Lu Yuan flew back to the company. The first thing Lu Yuan did after returning to the company was to get caught up in helpless busyness...

Should we figure out the general outline of the script for "A Chinese Odyssey"?

He still needs to find a way to review for the second subject. He failed the first subject once, so can he fail the second subject again?

If he hangs up again, where will he put his face?

I still need to read the piano and English books, right?

In short, Lu Yuan now feels that he is under great pressure. He feels more and more that he is trapped in a vortex where he has to study hard...

What can he do?

He is also desperate!

Work hard!

After taking my driver's license test, dealing with Brando, and finishing the plot of "A Chinese Odyssey"...

You can free yourself!

Lu Yuan stayed in the office busy until midnight. When he felt dizzy, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in!"

"Mr. Lu, you exploded, you exploded!" Wu Tingting rushed in excitedly, looking at Lu Yuan with a flushed face!

"What are you going to explode for? You're the one who's going to explode. Drink some water and calm down. How can you be so excited? You should know how to remain calm even when the sky is falling. Do you understand?" Lu Yuan looked at Wu Tingting, shook his head, and scolded Wu Tingting.

"Mr. Lu...the sales of 'The Legend of Sun Wukong' almost broke the record on the first day!" Wu Tingting sat down and found that she couldn't calm down no matter how hard she tried. In the end, she could only look at Lu Yuan excitedly.

"How much?"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand?" Lu Yuan was slightly stunned after hearing the number.

"Yes, two hundred thousand. It is very likely that 'The Legend of Sun Wukong' will become a best-selling book with sales exceeding four million in a month!" Wu Tingting was very excited.

"The Legend of Sun Wukong" is a hit!

Yes, this data is definitely a hit under such circumstances!

If it breaks four million in a month, then this book will most likely occupy the top few places on this year's sales list, and may even break ten million!

Over 10 million!

Invincible!

Yes, it is indeed invincible!

In this era of declining physical books, the sales figure of over 10 million is definitely something that anyone would envy and covet. It is even second only to the sales of works by some established and popular domestic authors more than ten years ago!

"Oh, okay, I got it." Lu Yuan nodded. His mind was already filled with the glittering money, but his expression remained calm.

It was as if he was listening to something trivial.

Now, his disguise has become extremely perfect...

Two hundred thousand books, 20 yuan each, that's 4 million yuan. If I get 35% of the 4 million yuan, I can get 1.4 million yuan. After deducting part of the tax, I will still have 1.1 million yuan left!

Earn 1.1 million in one day!

Lu Yuan was immediately excited.

"Mr. Lu, from now on, you will have another identity, the identity of a best-selling author!"

Wu Tingting was so excited that she was speechless.

…

"Does anyone know how much "The Legend of Wukong" sold?"

“We probably sold 200,000 copies on the first day!”

"Two hundred thousand copies... Is this... is this data true?"

"Yes, it is indeed true!"

"Haha, nowadays anyone can write a book and anyone can sell a book..."

"Mr. Liu, what you mean is..."

"'Journey to the West' is a great novel. Classics must not be tarnished. It is shameful for someone to rely on his popularity to wantonly tarnish the cultural industry and the sales of physical books... I used to have a good impression of Lu Yuan. After all, he is talented. But since he was preparing to film 'A Chinese Odyssey' and published this so-called 'The Legend of Wukong'... Hehe."

"Mr. Liu...be careful with your words. Lu Yuan's popularity is at its peak right now..."

"So what if I'm at the peak of my career? I'm just telling the truth. Not only am I saying it in private, I'm also going to say it online!"

"You... Mr. Liu, you are old, you should not get involved blindly... It is absolutely unwise for you to do this. Besides, you haven't read the book yet. You should know how popular Lu Yuan is on the Internet!"

"I've read a little bit, it's really made up!"

"Mr. Liu, let's just talk about this in private. If some things are really made public online, your reputation will be ruined!"

"I have my own character, and we literati have our own character! And persistence, I represent the literati of our generation."

"Mr. Liu, you can't represent me. At least that's not what I think."

"Haha, we have different ideals and cannot work together!"
