Liu Feng was very surprised when he heard the news, but the news about the new book was not revealed at all, which made him anxious and scratching his head.
It's better not to ask. Now I only know that there is a new book, but I don't even know what type the new book is or when it will be released, which makes me even more anxious.
The new book Zhang Zhong is talking about is of course "Dune". The finishing work for this book was completed two days ago.
He preliminarily proofread the manuscript himself and then sent it to Lin Lin. The ISBN has been prepared for a long time. If it’s quick, he will be able to see you in mid-June.
Now Lin Lin's company is different from the past. The best-selling "Lotus Leaf Collection" and "Snowman" not only brought huge profits to the company, but also made them stand out in the publishing industry.
Zhang Zhong's two consecutive books were handled by Zero Zero One Culture Company, and people in the industry have long started to pay attention to them.
With funds and reputation, Lin Lin and his team's work efficiency has also skyrocketed.
The key is that there is no other job in Ling01 Company now. Basically all the thoughts are on Zhang Zhong's book, and it is difficult to think about efficiency.
Zhang Zhong glanced at Liu Feng, who was scratching his head next to him, and smiled. Liu Feng didn't have to worry for too long. Information about his new book will be announced online in the next two days.
After all, the new book is about to be released, and publicity work needs to be stepped up.
…
After returning from the shopping mall, the two little girls came back with a lot of things. Just look at Zhang Zhong and Liu Feng's hands and you can see that each of them carried several bags.
Because they drove here separately, the two families separated in the parking lot.
After returning home, Zhang Zhong chatted with Lin Lin on the balcony about the new book, while Peng Peng took the bag and gestured in front of the mirror in the room.
One year older, Pengpeng seems to like clothes and other things more than candy. Just like today, when she was shopping, she never said she wanted to eat candy.
"To be on the safe side, the release date has not yet been determined, so we can only do preliminary publicity for the time being. I have talked with Chen Qing. Your company is mainly responsible for the promotion of the new book this time. We can just start it here." In the phone call,
Lin Lin's tone was very relaxed.
This ease comes from the strong confidence in the new book "Dune". After Zhang Zhong passed the manuscript to him, Lin Lin read it immediately.
It took him more than a day, with almost no rest except sleeping, to finish reading this novel of more than 300,000 words.
This is a science fiction novel, and unlike Zhang Zhong's first science fiction novel "Flowers for Algernon" where the story is limited to one person, this "Dune" has magnificent scenes and a meticulous plot.
The world described in the book is very complete and has a great impact on the readers' imagination.
"I think you want to work without contributing," Zhang Zhong teased.
"Don't say that. I'm just trying too hard. My company is a start-up with few publicity channels and insufficient experience."
"If you put it like that, then Chen Qing's side has less time and less experience."
"Hehe, so in the end, it still depends on you. Who told you to bring your own traffic?" Lin Lin said with a smile.
"Well, I don't count on you for publicity work. You just need to get the publication done."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. In addition, I also promise you that when your next book comes out, our company will never be like it is now. We are already laying out channels, and there should be some in a while.
Results."
Zhang Zhong nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait and see."
After talking to Lin Lin, Zhang Zhong was also thinking about publicity. He did have his own traffic, but that didn't mean he didn't need publicity.
Fortunately, although he debuted late, he has gained a lot of popularity.
Apart from anything else, he and Huayi Entertainment have two film and television projects in progress. If he opens his mouth, there is no way that Huayi will not help.
In addition, Tong Can’s killing game is doing well now, the number of users has already increased, and the app can also be used for promotion.
On June 2, Lin Lin made a poster and sent one to Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong added text to the picture and sent a message.
"The new book will be available to you soon."
The picture he sent showed a desert with countless battleships hovering in the sky, and some planets could be seen behind the battleships.
【Who can tell me, is this true? 】
【Are there any new books?】
【It’s science fiction!】
[Haha, my sci-fi banner remains strong!]
[Holy shit, last month it was a bull market for my detective novels, and now science fiction stocks are going to rise?]
[Interstellar novel this is.]
【When will it be released?】
[If you don’t give time, you will be in a hurry.]
【It should be soon, the posters are all made.】
[I just wanted to ask if the English version will be released simultaneously this time.]
[It feels like it is impossible to synchronize. If it is really synchronized, it means that this book has been written long ago.]
[Is the person upstairs a fan of Zhang Zhong? He wrote the English version of his books himself.]
[Really or not, I haven’t seen the English version.]
[Really, the English version of his book is not translated, he wrote it himself.]
【That said, it is indeed possible. 】
[It’s pitiful, don’t other languages have human rights?]
[Yes, it seems that Zhang Zhong’s books are only available in English and Chinese. 】
…
Not only some people in China are concerned about whether the English version is synchronized, but also foreign readers are even more concerned.
Zhang Zhong’s tweets were translated into English by Chen Qing and posted on Instagram.
Affleck has just returned to the hotel from the set. There are relatively few scenes today, so he can take a comfortable shower before dinner.
After he came out of the shower, seeing that it was still early, he went on Instagram first.
There were a lot of comments and follow messages, but he didn't read any of them, only scrolling through some of the people he followed.
"Hey, has Lawrence gone to New York? It's okay if I'm not here."
"Kenny went to the beach. I'm so envious. He's so laid-back."
"Penny has a boyfriend again? How many boyfriends has she had?"
"pz... He also posted on Instagram? Is this... a new book?"
Affleck sat up from the sofa. PZ is about to publish a new book. The most important thing is that this book looks like a science fiction novel.
He fell in love with PZ because of his science fiction novels. Although several of PZ's later detective novels were very good, Affleck still hoped that PZ would write more science fiction novels.
This time, it looks like there’s something going on!
He scrolled through the comments on Instagram. Everyone was discussing whether the English version of the new book would be released simultaneously.
Affleck is also concerned about this issue, but the problem now is that it seems that the release date of the Chinese version is not even mentioned on this Instagram.
Or is it that the time has actually been announced in China, but it was just not mentioned on Instagram?
He quickly went online and opened WeChat and found Zhang Zhong.
He had learned about this social networking site in order to find news about Zhang Zhong, and he also knew that Zhang Zhong was mainly active on WeChat.
