It is interesting to note that even for such an A-level writer, his own company did not receive any news before the review of his new book was published.
Although Random House is not well-known on the other side of the ocean, as a dominant company that has long dominated the North American book market, it has a very high reputation in Europe, America and even the world. They have not only always occupied a leading position in the market, but also brought considerable influence to the academic community and popular culture around the world.
Not only have they won numerous top awards such as the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Pulitzer Prize, but they have also relied on their accurate judgment of popular culture and their astonishing planning ability. Random House has turned best-selling books into legends, getting President Roosevelt to advertise their books and begging customs to confiscate their books in order to break through the ban of US law.
The incredible and ingenious planning time and time again has amazed countless readers and industry insiders.
But such a pioneering company that has always been one step ahead of others has now been caught off guard by others. This is simply a slap in Peter Olsen's face!
Moreover, since the start of this year, Germany's Bertelsmann Group has frequently attempted to maliciously acquire Random House, which has put great pressure on it in the capital market. This has made Peter Olsen face huge competitive pressure every day for the past few months.
"Have you ever thought about what would happen if these three books were obtained by our opponents?" Peter Olsen said as he picked up the analysis data on the table. He stared at everyone with a wolf king's eyes.
The senior editors of Random House had already made a detailed analysis of the trial manuscripts of Rowan's new book sent to major publishing houses, and made a summary conclusion based on the famous book reviews published in newspapers and magazines.
Whether it is "24 Hours", "Lost" or "Inception", all senior editors unanimously recognize it as an A+ grade strong bestseller.
But this is nonsense!
The first batch of books Mary selected were all super blockbusters that were popular at the time and dominated the market. For example, "24 Hours", an action-packed spy drama, was released during the "severe crackdown" two months after 9/11, when all Hollywood was withdrawing violent, bloody and horror films.
Despite the negative impact of the 9/11 attacks, 24 Hours received a viewership rating of 8.6 million. This was 8 million viewership ratings two months after 9/11, so you can imagine how valuable it was. After the 9/11 effect, 24 Hours immediately reached the top of the 10 million viewership ratings.
The media's evaluation of it is even more positive. "24 Hours" seems to be a simple anti-terrorism confrontation, but it contains fierce and sharp human choices and a tense and colorful plot design that is almost suffocating. It has swept more than 40 awards in the American drama industry.
As for "Lost", it is hailed as a masterpiece of its time, with ratings exceeding 20 million at one point.
Before "Lost", science fiction dramas have always been in an awkward position. Science fiction dramas originally rely on powerful computer special effects to attract people, but the funding and budget limitations of the TV series themselves make it impossible for them to compare with big-budget movies in terms of visual effects, and mediocre scripts are difficult to adapt to the rhythm of American dramas.
Therefore, science fiction series have always been lukewarm.
But the emergence of "Lost" broke this shackles. It almost fundamentally changed the situation of science fiction American TV series. After "Lost", science fiction American TV series began to become a formal category.
Even Reuters said: "Lost represents a science fiction era in its own right."
There is no need to talk about "Inception" the masterpiece of Christopher Nolan is famous world wide with a box office of $839 million. No other film of Nolan was as good as Inception even Oppenheimer for which Nolan got the Oscar isn't as good as Inception in many peoples opinion.
"If this is true, then we must obtain the publishing rights to these three new books, and buy them all in one package." Editor-in-Chief Montgomery, who was sitting at the bottom and had flown overnight from Los Angeles to the headquarters, spoke immediately.
He knew how much potential Rowan's new book had and knew that if such a new book was taken by a competitor, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the development of Random House.
"Finally, someone has come to work with a brain." Peter Olsen's expression eased a little, and then he said in a more serious tone: "We must immediately negotiate with Rowan's agent Mary Acker and get these three books for me as quickly as possible..."
"Gah!"
Peter Olsen's words were suddenly interrupted, the door of the conference room was opened from the outside, and a man rushed in breathlessly. Peter Olsen frowned and looked over. It was his assistant.
The assistant ignored everyone's strange looks and Peter Olsen's serious expression, trotted over to him and handed him a newspaper. The headline on it immediately caught Peter Olsen's eye.
"Book reviews of new books by bestselling author Rowan - Pirates of the Caribbean, Frozen, and National Treasure!"
_________________________
Rowan was unaware of what was happening in America as he was busy with shooting for the movie which was starting tomorrow cause of which Rowan decided to enter the Dream Dungeon again.
-------------
Marseille is like spring all year round.
It had just rained a little and there was not a cloud in the sky.
The blue is so clear, bright and clean that it makes people's mood become sunny.
Rowan stood on the busy street, waiting at the red light.
A moment later, the green light came on and countless pedestrians passed by him.
Various ethnic groups and exotic languages are bustling in this former capital of Provence and the oldest city in France.
Rowan started the electric car and could imagine the bustling scene when sailing ships entered the port in the 17th century.
He didn't feel like much has changed. The port is also surrounded by historic al buildings. The old fortress still stands by the water.
The cathedral overlooks the square just as it did a hundred years ago.
Apart from the sleek taverns and cafes that line the boulevard, it looks like the back of an old pirate movie, rough, simple and lively.
After driving for a while, Rowan saw the Chateau d'If and thought of "The Count of Monte Cristo".
The Chateau d'lf in the famous book "The Count of Monte Cristo" is not fictional.
Poor Edmond Dantès was sent to pris on at the Chateau d'If, where he suffered in human tortures, but after fourteen years of suffering he finally escaped and took reven ge. The Chateau d'If is located near the coa st of Marseille on the Mediterranean Sea.
The Château d'If was originally built as a fortress and later used as a prison for pol itical prisoners.
This horrific place of the past has now been opened as a tourist attraction, where you can visit the castle and spend a very pleasant afternoon, strolling through the cells, of famous political prisoners, as if you can see how people once lived in this castle.
You can also see Notre Dame.
Paris isn't the only city with Notre Dame, the city of Marseille also has its own Notre Dame.
The Notre Dame stands high on the top of the mountain, watching over the ships' voyage at all times.
After walking for a while, Rowan turned into an alley.
The narrow cobblestone streets are lined with colorful trembling windows, and a stroll through the city's oldest history and culture is a great way to experience it.
But he was not in the mood to appreciate it now.
Because it's almost time for takeout.
That's right, Rowan is delivering food.
The electric scooter stopped, and Rowan quickly opened the foam insulation box at the back and rushed into the building next to it, looking like an emergency doctor.
After a while, Rowan walked out slowly, like a doctor who was very proud of himself after a successful rescue.
But the joy didn't last long. Rowan returned to the eDonkey and looked at the electronic watch. He murmured unsatisfiedly: "15 minutes... the gap is too big."
Rowan is already in a copy of Taxi Express.
The delivery guy is the identity of the protagonist in "Taxi" at the beginning.
Although Rowan inherited some abilities, he was far from a drag racing expert.
The protagonist of "Taxi" can deliver a meal in as fast as 4 minutes and 32 seconds, which is so fast and exciting.
Rowan couldn't do it yet.
Even if he memorized the frequency of traffic lights and optimized the delivery route, Rowan couldn't be that fast.
Because he couldn't do it, Rowan was not in a hurry to resign like the protagonist and switch to driving a taxi.
Even if he changed his career now, unless Rowan planned to take another strategy, he still had to keep a low profile and level up to improve his skills.
Rowan had never driven a car fast before, and it was a rare opportunity to experience it, so he was certainly not in a hurry to complete the copy.
People play games, not games play people.
Having fun is the most important thing, and this is Rowan's attitude towards playing games.
But things like delivering food are only new and exciting at first, but later on, they become boring.
So Rowan changed his mind "I'm an expert at modifying cars. What should I do if I can't increase the speed?"
