When Rebecca returned to the UK, she saw the English version of "Looking for Yong" and liked it very much. One day, Rebecca passed by the gate of Wenying University and asked Wenying if it would be convenient for her to give her an autograph.
Of course Wen Ying would not refuse.
"Do you think it's good? I mean, is the background setting of the whole book attractive to you?"
Rebecca laughed. "Of course it's beautiful, that's why I asked you for your autograph! Don't underestimate the appeal of Eastern culture to us. We've always been interested in the mysterious East!"
Rebecca likes it very much anyway.
As for whether other people like it, we will have to wait until the sales data comes out to find out.
Yuan Fenghui has stated that "Teenage Idol" and "Star River and You" are well-suited for publication in Asia, with readers in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia more receptive to their subject matter. Regarding the Jiuding series, Yuan Fenghui is primarily targeting these markets, but she also believes the European and American markets will also be more receptive.
The Nine Cauldrons series contains elements of oriental legends and fantasy, but it is not limited to legends and fantasy. Legends and fantasy are settings used to attract readers. There are nine books in a series, and each story is a separate volume but interconnected. You explore the truth layer by layer to reveal the mystery and complete the puzzle of "Nine Cauldrons" bit by bit.
It's a massive series.
Even readers who have no idea about the "Nine Cauldrons of China" at the beginning will be drawn into the rhythm of the story as it progresses bit by bit - this is a reflection of Wen Ying's writing ability. Starting from "Xun Yong", Wen Ying's writing level has been qualitatively improved!
Although Yuan Fenghui is confident about the sales of the Jiuding series in the European and American markets, Yuan Fenghui is low-key enough when "Xun Yong" is launched in the European and American markets.
"Let the sales accumulate for a while before reporting back to China so that it can have an impact. Besides, the most important thing for you right now is the box office of 'Shendu Youth'. You can't let other news dilute the audience's attention to the movie box office."
This is how Yuan Fenghui explained it to Wen Ying, and Wen Ying expressed complete understanding: "Let's wait until 'Looking for Yong' reaches the bestseller list. If the timing is right, we can use this news to promote the release of the third book in the 'Nine Cauldrons Series' in China!"
Two books in the "Jiuding Series" have already been published: "Searching for Yong" and "Exploring Jing." The third will be released around March 2009. Wen Ying had just finished the first draft, and after revising, proofreading, and printing, she was barely able to meet the release date agreed with Editor-in-Chief Ding.
"Xun Yong" was released in February 2007.
"Tan Jing" was released in February 2008.
The third book in the "Jiuding Series" was supposed to be released in February 2009... Judging from the current situation, it would be considered a good start if it could be released in March 2009. If the revisions are not smooth, it may be delayed until April or May or even later.
There's no way, Wen Ying is really too busy.
Wen Ying can now completely understand why the writers she liked in her previous life would procrastinate on submitting their manuscripts!
Just like her, subjectively she didn't want to delay the manuscript, but objectively she couldn't help it. A person's energy is limited. If it is spread out in other areas, Wen Ying will have less time left for creation. But she can't stop doing other things, such as her studies, her love life, and her screenwriting career.
Wen Ying felt that it would be great if she had a clone.
One clone is dedicated to studying, one clone is responsible for taking care of the film business, another clone is responsible for writing novels, and there is another clone - well, she doesn't need a clone to fall in love, she can do it herself!
Yuan Fenghui didn't know that Wen Ying had such a wild imagination, so she was curious about which bestseller list Wen Ying wanted to be on.
"At least make it to the New York Times bestseller list, right?"
"...You are really confident."
Yuan Fenghui glared at Wen Ying, and as she glared, she started laughing again.
The New York Times Bestseller List is one of the most representative bestseller lists in the United States. The list is compiled by the newspaper's investigative news department, using data from weekly sales statistics from independent book retailers, chain stores, online book and multimedia retailers, universities, supermarkets, discount stores, newsstands, and other sources.
It's not hard to get on the New York Times bestseller list. If sales of "Xun Yong" in mainland China were counted, it would have been a contender for the annual top spot in the fiction category. But that's clearly not how the list is calculated. The Chinese-language version of "Xun Yong" isn't selling well in the US; at best, it's likely to be purchased by Chinese students studying abroad.
If the translated version of "Xun Yong" has not even made it to the New York Times bestseller list, then it does not even meet the bestseller standards abroad, and Yuan Fenghui will naturally not leak the news to the media!
In short, Wen Ying and Yuan Fenghui reached a consensus on temporarily concealing the overseas publication of "Xun Yong".
Wen Ying signed an autograph for Rebecca and put the matter behind her for the time being.
Time passed day by day, and 20 days before the release of "Shendu Youth", Wen Ying entered the exam week.
When Zhuo Jinxin's intentional homicide case was on trial, Wen Ying was taking her final exams at school, so she could not go to the trial - it was said that the situation at the trial was very unfavorable to Zhuo Jinxin.
"Zhuo Jinxin still denies ordering the bodyguard to kill. Lawyer Du Li wants to defend Zhuo Jinxin as an 'accomplice'. Judging from the current evidence, Du Li has little chance of winning."
Wen Ying did not go to the trial, but Xie Qian did.
Because of special circumstances, Xie Qian applied to the department for exemption from the exam.
After enduring for so long, he finally waited for the trial of Zhuo Jinxin. How could Xie Qian miss it?
In addition to Xie Qian, Zou Weijun and Xie Jinghu also went to the trial.
Zhuo Jinxin destroyed Zou Weijun's marriage, and Zou Weijun hated Xie Jinghu more. Zhuo Jinxin hired assassins to kill Xie Qian, and Zou Weijun really hated Zhuo Jinxin. After their divorce, Zou Weijun and Xie Jinghu sat together for the first time. In such an occasion, Xie Jinghu could not cling to her, and Zou Weijun did not have to worry about being entangled by her scumbag ex-husband.
Because it was Xie Jinghu's mistress who hired someone to kill Xie Qian, Xie Jinghu didn't even dare to look Zou Weijun in the eye!
"Feng Gao's wife and children also attended the trial."
Bringing the murderer to justice is the greatest comfort to the driver Feng Gao’s family!
The funniest thing is that Zhuo Jinxin didn't think Feng Gao's death had anything to do with her until the trial.
Zhuo Jinxin felt that Feng Gao died in an accident rather than intentional murder.
Because Karl mainly wanted to get rid of Xie Qian, the truck driver hired by Karl missed the target and caused Feng Gao's death.
Ignorant and fearless.
Zhuo Jinxin has no reverence for life. Xie Qian saw with his own eyes that the judge in charge of the case frowned several times!
"Did Zhuo Chen and Zhuo Yue go to the trial?"
"I went."
Zhuo Chen and Zhuo Yue both looked very sad.
Thinking that the brother and sister gave up using their mysterious connections to rescue Zhuo Jinxin, Xie Qian felt that their sadness was so fake!
