Hollywood Director 1992

"Link, you're amazing! 'Interstellar Travel' is so wonderful. Once I started reading it yesterday, I couldn't put it down. Even my dad and director George Lucas loved it. They praised you for being very talented."

In the office, Link received a call from Sofia Coppola.

"They also read my book? I'm very happy they liked it."

"I recommended it. My dad said the stories in this novel are fantastic and very suitable for adaptation into a movie. After reading the novel, Lucas said he gained creative inspiration from your book and plans to incorporate some of it into the 'Star Wars' sequels.

They also hope to have time to chat with you.

Link, you're so great! I've never seen them use so many wonderful words to praise a young person, except for you."

Sofia Coppola's tone was filled with joy.

"Thank you very much for recommending my book. You are also great. You are the most talented girl I have ever met among my peers."

"Really?"

"Of course. The reason I agreed to let you join my crew isn't because you're pretty, but because you're very talented and have a unique temperament different from other girls. I think we'll have a great time working together."

"Haha, would you agree if I asked you out on a date?"

"When? Where would we go? Wait, not now. I'm going to New York for a book signing, and the movie is about to start filming. You need to get busy."

"Got it, Boss! I will make the movie well. Also, one more thing, your book is great."

After chatting for a few minutes, Link hung up the phone and sat down to flip through the newspaper.

The front page of the 'Los Angeles Times' had a short review of 'Interstellar Travel' recommended by the famous science fiction writer Larry Niven.

Larry Niven expressed surprise at the appearance of this book, believing it to be a very imaginative and creative work, with both fantasies about the future world and profound reflections on the future, worth reading for all readers who like interstellar and time travel.

Before he could finish reading the review, the phone on the table rang again. Liu Xiaoli told him that Liz Grinski, the associate editor of Tor Books, was online.

"Good morning, Liz!"

"Haha, Link, guess how many copies 'Interstellar Travel' sold this week?"

Liz Grinski laughed loudly on the phone.

"How many?"

Liz Grinski told Link in a very excited tone on the phone.

In its first week of release, 'Interstellar Travel' sold out its initial print run of 50,000 copies. Now, book publishers from all over are calling to urge delivery, and pre-orders have reached 200,000 copies.

The publishing house is preparing to print another 500,000 copies in the second batch.

If all 500,000 copies are sold, 'Interstellar Travel' is expected to be in the top ten of this year's science fiction bestseller list.

"Can 500,000 copies be sold?"

Science fiction works are relatively niche in the novel genre. Not many people read them. Except for the works of famous science fiction writers such as Larry Niven and Edgar Rice Burroughs, it is difficult for the works of new writers to sell all these books.

"Haha, there is absolutely no problem with 500,000 copies. The response to 'Interstellar Travel' after it was put on the shelves has been very good. The publishing house receives calls from readers every day, praising this collection of science fiction novels as being excellent.

I called Larry Niven, Arthur Clarke, and a few others to ask them to write book reviews. They readily agreed, praising your book as being very good, so don't just say 500,000 copies, 5 million copies are also possible."

"Haha, that's really good news."

Link and Grinski chatted about the follow-up distribution work.

The distribution of novels is similar to the distribution of movies and albums. It requires spending money on publicity to expand the novel's influence, including participating in media interviews, book signings in various places, fan meetings, science fiction writer salons, etc.

Good publicity can increase sales.

"Link, how many copies were sold?"

Seeing him put down the phone, Liu Xiaoli couldn't wait to ask.

"50,000 copies were sold out last week."

"That's great, Link, you're amazing."

Liu Xiaoli looked at him with admiration, her beautiful peach blossom eyes shining.

"It's okay."

Link smiled softly. He didn't expect that the 40% original science fiction novel that he had modified would be so popular after it was put on the shelves.

"Sister Xiaoli, for the next two weeks, I will be outside promoting the novel. Leave the affairs of the company to you and Michael. If you encounter something you can't decide, you can call me, or you can wait for me to come back and talk about it."

"Got it. Do you want me to go with you? I can take care of you by your side."

Liu Xiaoli said softly as she leaned closer to him.

"No need. Holding book signings requires running around in various cities, which is more troublesome and not suitable for you to go. In addition, the publishing house and the book company have arranged work assistants, so you don't have to worry."

"Okay, be careful, take care of your body, and don't work too hard every day. You are a big boss now. Leave anything to others to do. You don't need to do it yourself. Your health is the most important thing."

Liu Xiaoli spoke softly in front of him.

"Sister Xiaoli, you are so good to me."

Link looked at her rosy cheeks and couldn't help but hug her in his arms, feeling her heartbeat and the warmth of her body.

"Ah, you, what are you doing? Don't do this, let go quickly, it's not good if others see it."

Liu Xiaoli's face turned red instantly, and she quickly glanced at the door, punching him on the back in his arms, each punch lighter than the last.

"Sister Xiaoli, you are the closest person to me, and also the best person to me. I am becoming more and more inseparable from you now. Please don't leave me either. Let me take care of you. With me here, no one will bully you and Qian Qian."

Without a mistake, a first, a hair, an inside, a content, a look!

Link hugged her waist, his chin resting on her forehead, and said softly in her ear.

Liu Xiaoli gradually calmed down, and the fragrance on her body also became warm and gentle, not just the perfume, but also a very attractive body fragrance, making people eager to do something.

Liu Xiaoli raised her red cheeks and glared at him, "You bad guy, don't try to coax me with sweet words. No one will bully me here except you."

"It's mainly because you are too easy to bully."

Link stroked her cheek, feeling the softness and delicacy of the skin with the back of his hand, and brushed the hanging hair with his fingers, helping her tuck it behind her ear, revealing her delicate and beautiful cheeks, and her shy demeanor.

When she is shy, her cheeks become more pretty and moist, and there is a trace of charm between her eyebrows and eyes. The amorous feelings revealed between a frown and a smile make people's hearts beat faster.

It is said that this kind of woman is born with charm, which easily makes men fall into it, leading to physical depletion. I don't know if it's true or not?

Link lowered his head and kissed her lotus-like cheeks and rose-colored lips. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the back of his foot, and he gasped for air, having to temporarily let go of the woman in his arms.

"Xiao Linzi, what did you just say? You said I'm easy to bully, are you sure?"

Liu Xiaoli put her hands on her waist and said with a smile.

"Sigh, I was sure before, but now I'm very unsure. Liu Xiaoli, are you too ruthless? Your kick almost ruined my foot."

"Haha, to deal with a pervert like you, you must use heavy hands to let you know the pain, and see if you dare to take advantage of me next time."

Liu Xiaoli curled her lips, her eyes slightly shining, as if bullying people would make her feel excited.

"I dare not, you are a heroine, only you can bully others, no one can bully you."

Link sat on the sofa rubbing the back of his foot.

"It's good that you know."

Liu Xiaoli squatted down to help him rub his feet.

Knock knock knock!

"Boss, are you busy?"

Daniel DeVito asked at the door.

"Come in."

Liu Xiaoli walked to the door, opened it, and invited Daniel DeVito in.

"Boss, the 'The Blair Witch Project' set is ready, and all the extras have been found, and we can start filming at any time."

Daniel said.

"Call Sofia and gather the crew to start filming. We can't delay any longer. If it snows, it will be inconvenient to film."

"Okay, I'll notify them later. Boss, what's wrong with your foot?"

"Sigh, it's nothing, I kicked a steel plate."

Pfft ~

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh.
