Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Scholar Publishing House attaches great importance to the release of the English version of Shanhe's novels, and has invested certain promotional resources in North America and Europe.

Small piles of Shanhe's two books can be found in almost every big city bookstore in North America and Europe. Some bookstores also provide an introduction to Shanhe, a sixteen-year-old Chinese boy.

The printing of the book is much more exquisite than that in China. The book depicts two teenagers with arms open to the sky. The background is slightly gloomy. There is a line of small words written under the conspicuous book title. In the world of the teenager, there are also death, jungle, poverty, dignity and Till death do us part.

The publishing house also published reviews and recommendations of some local writers in many literary newspapers, giving readers a potential impression.

On the day the book was released, some readers became curious about a Chinese bestseller written by a sixteen-year-old Chinese boy.

Henry, a middle school teacher, is one of them. He has some impressions of the book "We Are Young", which is about school bullying. Henry opened the pages of the book and started reading in front of the pile.

Ten minutes later, Henry walked to the counter with two books from Shanhe.

Henry likes the book "We Are Young". School bullying is also a big social topic in North America. There are many books and movies that contain scenes of school bullying.

But in this book, the two teenagers face the coldness alone, but their mutual protection is quite touching, and the writing is also very beautiful.

The tragic ending leaves people with regret, hesitation and reflection.

Henry plans to recommend this masterpiece by a Chinese teenager to his students, hoping that a book written by his foreign peers can serve as a warning to them.

Like Henry, many European and American readers bought Shanhe's novels out of curiosity, and after reading them, they couldn't help but recommend them to their surroundings.

In the first week, "We Are Young" sold nearly 70,000 copies in North America and nearly 50,000 copies in Europe.

"A Match Made in Heaven" has 40,000 copies in North America and nearly 30,000 copies in Europe.

"We Are Young" has an excellent reputation, while "A Match Made in Heaven" is not as good.

This figure is already 60% higher than the expectations of Scholar Publishing House. Their expectations were 50,000 copies of "We Are Young" and 30,000 copies of "A Couple Made in Heaven".

After the Scholar Press successfully tested the waters, it plans to invest more resources in newspapers and magazines and continue to increase publicity efforts in the hope of obtaining better data next week.

When the news came back to China, Qu Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly called Shanhe to the publishing house after school at noon.

"Frank called, Xiaohe, the sales volume of your two books in Europe and the United States exceeded Scholar Publishing House's expectations, by more than half!" Qu Ling said to Shanhe with great joy.

"How many volumes are there specifically?" Shanhe asked.

""We Are Young" is 70,000 in North America and 50,000 in Europe. "Better Days" is worse, 40,000 in North America and 30,000 in Europe. Frank said that both books have good reputations, but "We Are Young" is even better! In its first month in Europe and the United States It is estimated that it can break through 500,000 copies, and 300,000 copies of "A Couple in Heaven" should not be a problem."

After listening to this, Shanhe beamed with joy, "Aunt Qu, I have opened the way to Europe and the United States! The next book should be better, and the European and American film adaptation rights are expected to be picked up soon."

"Xiaohe, congratulations!"

"Joy and rejoice together!"

After the two congratulated each other, Qu Ling asked about the recent topic of Project Hope, "After the documentary of Project Hope was played, and your reportage, it attracted a lot of attention. I have received many interviews from the media. Filing, what are you going to do with it?"

Shanhe stood up and poured a glass of water, "I will cooperate with the requirements of the Youth Foundation and the Project Hope Office, and I will not participate in the others!"

"You occupy a lot of space in the documentary. It will be broadcast on CCTV 2. I guess you will receive an interview invitation from CCTV soon!" Qu Ling reminded Shan Hedao.

Shanhe pondered for a moment, "I can't refuse CCTV's interview. It shouldn't be so soon. CCTV can't wait to see the social response first!"

"Anyway, be careful and don't be like Han Han. He is notorious now. Fortunately, he has a good impression among readers, otherwise he would cry!" Qu Ling reminded.

Shanhe laughed after hearing this, "That guy Lao Han is really full of firepower. I think those seniors are very angry with him!"

"I can't persuade him anymore, just let him go! He has learned the nickname of a rebellious boy!"

Twenty days passed quickly, and the European and American first-month sales data of Shanhe's two books were transmitted to Shanhe.

The total sales volume of "A Match Made in Heaven" in Europe and America exceeded 300,000, reaching 320,000 copies.

The total sales volume of "We Are Young" in Europe and the United States has exceeded 550,000 copies.

The book market in Europe and the United States is relatively complete, and the overall sales volume is much larger than that in China. However, Shanhe's achievements have been considered an instant success in Europe and the United States. Even in European and American circles, he is also a well-known best-selling author.

To Shan He's surprise, the adaptation rights of "A Couple in Heaven" were chosen by Disney. They were very interested in the novel and even prepared to send people to China for negotiations.

There were also film and television companies involved in "We Are Young", but their intentions were not strong.

Sure enough, the more popular the family-friendly theme is, the more popular it is with European and American film and television companies. Can "We Are Young" only be a literary film?

The first draft of "A Little Red Flower for You" has been revised, and Qu Ling found no faults. The draft will be finalized next month, and Qu Ling has decided on the publication date.

The news that Shanhe's novels were selling well in the European and American markets soon spread throughout the country. Major newspapers and magazines welcomed this kind of news that promoted our country's prestige, and wrote articles one after another to publicize Shanhe's achievements.

The Magic City TV station also reported this news in the Magic City News, which suddenly made Shanhe a world-famous writer in everyone's eyes!

The broadcast of CCTV documentaries and the publication of Shanhe reportage have attracted public attention, and many young people have actively participated in volunteer or teaching activities.

Shanhe's performance in the documentary has been recognized and praised by the public. He was already at the forefront of public attention, and now there is news that the novel is gaining popularity overseas. Suddenly, Shanhe is at the forefront of the limelight again.

He is now basically used to being chased and intercepted by reporters, and has learned how to avoid their sight.

He will never go through the front door after school. The head teacher even gave him a back door key, so he can use the back door openly!

At noon that day, Shanhe and Hu Ge were opening the back door when Shanhe's phone rang. Shanhe threw the key to Hu Ge and picked up the phone.

"Hey, who's there?"

"Aunt Qu, Xiaohe, you have received not one, but two interview invitations from CCTV. One is an interview with Bai Yansong, a special program on student aid in Eastern Space, and the other is an invitation from the "Dialogue" column team. Han Han also received an invitation from the "Dialogue" column team!"

"Ah!" Shanhe was a little dumbfounded. He could accept Bai Yansong's interview. It was considered a high-end interview. Why would he be invited to the "Dialogue" column? He had an impression of that column in his previous life, where Lao Han was chatting with Confucian scholars!

"Xiaohe, Xiaohe, are you listening?"

Shanhe was woken up by Qu Ling's voice on the phone: "I'm listening, Aunt Qu, when will you go to the capital?"

"In two days, I will take you and Han Han together!"

"Okay, it's okay, I'll hang up."

Shanhe put down his phone, still a little stunned.

After Hu Ge opened the door, he saw something was wrong with Shan He and asked, "Whose phone number? What happened?"

Shan He raised his eyes and looked at Hu Ge and said, "Lao Han and I have both received invitations from CCTV for interviews!"

Hu Ge suddenly jumped up and said, "You two are really monsters. You are going to be on CCTV! What program?"

"The "Dialogue" program team invited us both, and I have an exclusive interview." Shanhe replied.

"Animals, two shows! Hey, there's something fishy about "Dialogue" inviting you two to be on the show together!" Hu Ge keenly sensed something was wrong.

Shanhe smiled helplessly, "I guess he wants to compare the two of us. Old Han is miserable. He might be criticized, and he might even want us to have a fight!"

"Haha~" Hu Ge laughed happily, "Old Han deserves it. He sprays everywhere. The newspapers and magazines I read at your house last time, as well as the online chat room, are all the result of his spray! Anyway, he also It doesn’t matter, just criticize and criticize, Lao Han won’t lose a hair!”

"That's right. Maybe Old Han will become even more popular after being criticized!"
