American Fortune Life
Chapter 23: Flicker and publicity
Frankly, Andy has never been so tired, even if the code word that is nested in the study for days and nights is not so tired.
Fudge like this is really not that easy to do, especially in the face of a smart person, even if you have already thought of some reasonable answers at home, still let Allen. DeGeneres has taken some truth. For example, his previous views on death performance, his views on the same love. Fortunately, he managed to fool with all kinds of shame and shameless selling, and ended the recording of "Allen Show" in the laughter of Allen and the audience at the scene.
Andy's humor and wisdom also made Allen very much appreciated, especially when he said his love for XING "I can disagree with the way you live, but I am willing to defend your right to live differently from me!" It was a big hug from Allen.
After exchanging phone numbers with Allen, he left the recording hall. At the door of the CBS Los Angeles branch building, a brand-new silver-gray Bentley has been waiting for a long time. Joseph hurriedly walked in front of Andy and opened the door. After Andy got into the car, took off his jacket and took it out of the car refrigerator. He took a sip of water from a bottle of water and took a long breath, leaning back on the seat, slightly closed his eyes and recalled what he said during the recording, only to find that there were no leaks before he relaxed.
Don't say nothing to be nervous, don't really think that you can be shocked. People kneel and succumb to submission. That's a novel. It ’s strange that he was not nervous when he was on TV for the first time. Fortunately, his first appearance came to a successful conclusion. Thanks to his deliberate and bottomless touting of the host Allen several times, she did not deliberately make things difficult for herself. After all, his previous black history is indeed a lot.
No matter what, today's goals have been achieved, new book promotion, image building, black history and whitewash, screen debut. Drinking water silently thinking in my heart. Although he really wanted to wash all the black history in one breath, he also knew that the temptation was unreasonable. Besides, underage drinking, it was not easy to forget something, especially his popularity during this time. So high, the vulgarity of unscrupulous media has made the road to whitewashing more difficult.
At present, all kinds of successful halo can only be used to dilute the stain on him, after all, people are tolerant of successful people. If you don't believe it, look at Jobs. His black history is more and it makes Americans more unforgivable, but later, Uncle Joe, God of Joe, who also paid attention to his rudeness, rampant, treacherous and cold blood.
So Andy takes his writer's identity very seriously. Now these novels, "Dark Fairy", "Hunger Games" and "Dream of Dreams" are his stepping-stones to open the situation. His new book has been more widely publicized, making his aura of talented writers stronger, so that even if he makes mistakes in the future, people can look at him more forgivingly.
In the recording process, Andy is most proud of the various small paragraphs, the show off of the poison of the soul, to be honest, he really didn't know that he could sell adorable without shame, but the audience liked it, and all kinds of hilarious The show has always been in a happy atmosphere.
The phone ringing interrupted Andy's contemplation, "Hey, the festival list is over and I'm on my way home. Well, it's going smoothly. It's no wonder that I'm not nervous, mainly because Allen is a good guy, without asking some embarrassing questions, yes, Don't pick me up. Okay, I don't listen to those reasons, it's all set, I'm hung up. "
Hanging up the phone, I did not give Carl Huyou the opportunity over the phone, and called the game company to inquire about the situation, and reiterated his emphasis on the quality of the game.
"Time is not a problem. What I need is a sophisticated game that lets players admire the game. Slow work produces fine work! What? You do n’t know what slow work produces fine work. Andy rolled his eyes and hung up the phone, playing with the phone in his hand, thinking for a while.
That's all for now. Looking out through the car window, watching the continuous stream of cars and various passers-by, he stretched out his hands and squeezed them into fists.
The future will be in my hands!
After the "Allen Show" was broadcast, Carl began to follow up on the promotion of the novel "The Hunger Games". He firmly held Andy's thigh firmly, even if he knelt and licked, because Andy gave him more than money. In return, more importantly is dignity and status.
Recalling the other day, with a contemptuous glance, he looked at the representative of the CAA brokerage company leaving his office awkwardly and could not help showing a smug smile.
Now he is the target pursued by various Hollywood film companies, and the hot sale of Andy's novels, the fool knows the value, especially the first book of "The Hunger Games" is considered to be the most valuable IP.
As soon as Carl walked into the building of Xuele Publishing House, he saw McMiller greeted him with a smile on his face. He nodded expressionlessly and said hello. He ignored McMiller's hand and looked at him. The other side pulled back his awkward hands, and walked to the elevator without any pause under his feet. He listened to the words of compliment from the other side, and Carl's mouth could not help but slightly tilted up, his obese body was much lighter. How angry Mike Miller was, how the other side felt about his fart. When Andy flew the street before, his face was even more ugly.
McMiller looked at Carl as he walked into the meeting room, his flattering smile slowly disappearing, because his irritated anger made his face flush, his hands clenched into fists, but it quickly became like a discouraged The ball, sighing with a bitter smile, thinking of his previous attitude towards Carl, maybe this is the retribution.
The conference room was quickly filled with people. Elton Bull, the president of Xuele Publishing Los Angeles, was very optimistic about the prospect of The Hunger Games, and even deep down in his heart, he compared this series with the one he was responsible for. "Harry Potter" is comparable, he knows what such a series will bring to the publisher and him, so he decided early in the morning to run and publish the novel.
"Mr. Carl, this is a sample of the book review sent by the major newspapers, and you see if there is anything that needs improvement." Elton Buell handed Carl a stack of documents and said with a smile.
Carl Fei took the file without a look on his face, and looked carefully. Now, anything about Andy can't be treated sloppy for him.
"A thrilling adventure, fantasy, youthful romance and super-selling novel!"-"The Wall Street Times".
"Stephanie Mayer, the author of Twilight, and Stephen King, the thriller, read this book insanely addictively! -----" New York Times ".
. . . . . .
After reading it one by one, Carl smiled and handed the file back to Elton Bull, and said with satisfaction: "Andy is really right, professional matters are given to professional people, thank the publisher and Elton Mr. Effort. "
Elton heard Carl's words of compliment, was very useful, and smiled back: "This is what we should do, our service purpose is to satisfy customers."
After the two complimented each other, they started discussing the next publicity work.
"Mr. Carl, do you think you can get Mr. Andy Smith on a few talk shows to promote it? The Allen Show has greatly stimulated the sales of the novel." Elton Bull listened to the introduction All kinds of publicity programs were very sudden to Karl around him.
Carl Fat's face twitched slightly, and he responded positively: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Elton, except for the" Allen Show "and" Saturday Night Live "promised earlier, Mr. Andy Smith has rejected all The TV show, because he is writing a new novel, has no time at all. "
Looking at Elton Bull's expression of disappointment, Carl scolded Andy's waywardness in his heart, but he knew that Andy's new novel had been written a few days ago, but Andy did not agree to appear in the picture, everything was fine. Yes, he really did not understand Andy's idea, went on a talk show, increased exposure, and how tempting it was to be a star everyone sought after. Why didn't Andy not cooperate.
Andy, who was teasing two Dobermans sent a few days ago on the lawn of the villa, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, cursed, and continued to play with the two puppies.
Looking at the Doberman chasing behind him, he was very satisfied. Because of his pure blood, the price was naturally high. A male and a mother, Andy named them Quicksilver and Witch. The puppies ran round and round around him. They were very close to him. Andy was also very happy. Witch pounced on her calf. The puppies are three months old and have a very strong body. They are very curious about the new environment. They will sniff the leaves on the lawn with their noses and pull the dirt on the grass with their paws.
The blooming flowers in the flowers aroused the interest of the little ones. Picking up the nose to sniff, they sneezed while being stimulated by pollen. After sneezing, they seemed to feel nothing, and they all "wangwang" barked at the flowers.
"Haha ..." Andy couldn't help cheering when he saw the funny scene of the two puppies. This made him feel for the first time in this time and space that he was no longer alone, even if it was just two dogs. This emotion was very subtle. Perhaps it was an incredible way to go through this kind of thing. Worrying, the lack of security made him very distressed.
But since he was accompanied by two little Dubins, he has not woken up in the middle of the night. The superposition of the soul has made his five senses overly acute. Any strange noise at night makes him unable to sleep. The companionship of the dog greatly relieved his tense nerves.
With step-by-step success, he was still in contact with strangers deep in his heart, especially the night after finishing the "Allen Show", he was almost unable to sleep peacefully, his secrets were found in his sleep, various forced confessions, Various blood draws and slices scared him.
In fact, this is also a normal phenomenon. When you have a secret that determines your life and death, no one can face it calmly, you can only bear it by yourself, and slowly increase your own capacity to accommodate this nightmare, and then lock it in the deepest memory. It is not until the moment of death that it is finally liberated.
