Chapter 149 Bella and Professor X

Bella is a newcomer in the writer's business and doesn't need a book signing at all.

The sale of The Da Vinci Code was silent, and after three days, it is estimated that after a little word of mouth among readers, Random House's publicity campaign began.

"A mysterious, surprising, and romantic masterpiece."

"Ten years of polishing, a wonderful read that analyzes the essence of human nature and religion."

"A great conspiracy! The truth that has long been buried in history, the female author Isabella Swan presents you wonderfully, and gives the public a real Mona Lisa!"

Several newspapers and magazines devoted to best-selling books received advertising fees from Random House, and they each introduced the Da Vinci Code at different lengths.

In this era, the Internet is not yet the main body for the public to obtain information. Most people who have money to buy best-selling books still obtain information from newspapers and various periodicals.

Bella also talked a lot about her childhood and creative experience when the magazine interviewed her.

What death has come, what glorious deeds of bloodbath in Paris can't be said, in her mouth, she is a poor, weak, helpless, poor girl who can't even eat.

The sales response for the first three days was flat. After word of mouth gradually emerged, Random House increased its publicity efforts, and some characters in New York were also secretly promoting, and the books began to sell well!

The sales of Random House in the first three days were less than 20,000 copies, and there was no overly strong reaction from dealers everywhere.

Three days later, the 100,000 copies printed in the first issue were completely sold out, and Random House was overwhelmed by calls from dealers.

Thirty thousand copies were printed, and it was sold out in one day.

After printing 50,000 copies, it took only a day and a half, and the phone call for the goods came again.

On the US bestseller list, The Da Vinci Code broke into the top ten as a dark horse, and the rankings are still rising.

Word-of-mouth in all aspects can be described as a burst.

Random House immediately notified its subordinate printing house to run at full capacity and print another 500,000 copies!

At the end of June, Bella was excited to see the daily rising sales numbers, but this weekend she will be returning to Stanford.

Before leaving, she also paid out of her own pocket and organized a small celebration party to thank the publishers and distributors for their help.

Then she thanked her family and friends, and as promised, she gave her autographed Da Vinci Code to several friends in New York.

Knowing that the Da Vinci Code was written by her, Nathan Ingram sold a lot of energy and helped her advocate for several days in New York.

In the same way, the effect is different when the billionaires say it and the common people say it. Bella is very grateful for the help of the other party, and the father and daughter each gave a copy.

I gave one to the elegant and easy-going history teacher Carl Elijah, one to Storm, and one to Cyclops, who had a relationship with each other.

Professor John Grey and Professor Charles should not be ignored, and each sent a copy to the past.

"Miss Swan, can we talk?" Before leaving New York, the old bald Charles, accompanied by Storm, came to the hotel where she rested.

The poor, weak, helpless, and very poor beauty writer was worried about being disturbed. She had been living in the Hilton Hotel these days. She was quite prepared for what the old bald head was about to say.

The book sold so smoothly that she didn't believe it herself if there was no one behind it.

Where is this place? This is a capitalist society, writing? How much is a pound of writing?

Without the promotion of capital, Shakespeare was reborn and starved to death on the side of the road.

It is true that Nathan Ingram is a billionaire, but his field of work has nothing to do with book publishing. This middle-aged man with outstanding temperament also admitted to Bella that there are deeper characters behind the scenes. the operation of things.

Old bald, Professor Charles Xavier is the one who can move the whole thing forward.

In the eyes of the outside world, the old bald man's assets on the surface are 3.5 billion US dollars, which is not even a fraction of Stark's, but it is not the same thing at all.

During World War II, the old bald man inherited the family property and became a famous billionaire at that time.

His own intelligence ranks among the best in Marvel, and he is still the most powerful psionicist in the Marvel world, although this strongest is a bit weaker than the bunch of gangsters that emerged in the later period.

The poor Professor Charles Xavier became a unit of measurement in the later stage, which was used to set off the strength of the younger generation. At every turn, the large group was equal to fifty Professor Xavier, the Omega Kid was equivalent to forty, and Rachel Summers. equals thirty-five...

In the later period, the strength of the old bald head is completely unrecognizable, but now, in this period when the superhero has not yet risen, and the Omega-level mutants have not yet burst out like a blowout, the strength of the old bald head is like a ceiling.

The White Queen can only be equivalent to 0.8 Professor Charles, and Apocalypse claims that he has lived for thousands of years to meet such a powerful psionicist.

The ceiling of the old age, the unit of measurement of the new age, this is Professor Charles Xavier.

Such a powerful billionaire, after 50 years without illness or disaster, his assets are only 3.5 billion? Can you believe it?

The old bald head is laid out all over the world. It looks harmless to humans and animals, but the actual influence in the dark is amazing, so it can't be calculated by the numbers on paper.

In a horizontal comparison, perhaps only a middle-aged person who has experienced the ins and outs of the reunion, and Tony Stark, who has become enlightened, can be comparable to him.

No one will help you for no reason, and someone will help you, it must show that you are valuable.

In Bella's view, her employee, Mr. Max, is worthless. She looks at the store every day and gives $800 a month, which she thinks is too much, and her roommate Heather is valuable, so she just cooks. You can get $800 and maybe even get a raise in the future.

She sees others like this, and others see her the same way.

There are so many mutants, why did the old bald head take a fancy to Cyclops, but not others? That's because Cyclops has what it takes to be a leader.

Storm wisely turned and left, while Bella pushed the old bald head for a walk in the park outside the hotel.

"I've seen someone similar to you, right here in New York," the old man said softly.

Someone similar to me? Bella didn't answer, but thought for a while, and quickly realized that he was talking about the group of mages in the New York Temple.

As far as Professor Charles can detect psionic powers in half of New York City with a random thought, he found that the New York Temple was not difficult at all.

He may not be able to see the level of Gu Yi, but the mage in the temple is not only Gu Yi.

Those salted fish masters may have come out to make soy sauce, and their details have been seen by this mutant mentor.
