For the sake of impulse, for the sake of profit, countless bets are made.
However, when the results come out, how many people will really be willing to fulfill the bet The editor-in-chief of the Hollywood Daily Newspaper, the mood during this period of time is really like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, and suffering.
From the beginning, like other newspapers, I routinely reported on the miracles created by Li Daniu's films, but I couldn't increase the melancholy of sales.
In a flash of inspiration, he seized the momentum of Li Daniu's new novel on the street, and sang the opposite tune of mainstream reports, won countless eyeballs, and the excitement of skyrocketing sales.
He didn't dare to think about being promoted, because he was the boss above, but he still had a lot of hope for a raise.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Li Daniu tore up with them directly, and even grabbed the two discriminatory words in their report out of context, inciting onlookers to attack them.
There is no hope for this salary increase, and the purpose of this editor-in-chief has become to keep his job.
After successfully changing the topic, he was even complacent, this time he could no longer write a book in Li Daniu's pit, would this be the biggest achievement in his life If they win, then, of course, his name, as well as the name of the Hollywood Daily, will go to the world.
In the editor-in-chief's opinion, he won steadily, because Harry Potter's combined sales in the first three weeks were only 150,000 copies, how could it be possible to sell 350,000 copies in a little more than the last week is not the Lord of the Rings with a good reputation, but Harry Potter, which has a completely bad reputation in the mainstream.
In the first few days after the gambling contract was established, the editor-in-chief had been fantasizing about whether Li Daniu would admit his mistake and beg for mercy and continue to write a book after he lost.
Because in his opinion, Li Daniu can earn millions of dollars by writing a book casually, how could he give up However, the development of things, which is really not what he imagined, is becoming more and more strange.
First of all, the doors of various middle schools in the United States are advertised with Harry Potter.
This is strange, but it is not incomprehensible, after all, student consumption should not be underestimated.
However, in the case of a bad overall reputation, are you a fool when you are a student, you can make them buy your book by advertising it Then, in many middle school forums, or on the eyes of some middle school students, they began to recommend this Harry Potter book non-stop, praising this book all over the place, and even saying that this book is even better than the Lord of the Rings.
Are you kidding me, isn't it a bit too exaggerated for the water army you invited?
Yes, in the editor-in-chief's opinion, these recommendations or posts were all sent by Li Daniu or the water army controlled by Sunshine Publishing House, and the purpose was to hype, but this method is too indiscriminate, saying that such a bad book is comparable to the Lord of the Rings The editor-in-chief was tempted to say: I disagree.
Although he targeted Li Daniu, it was also for sales and to make money.
But for the Lord of the Rings, he also likes it very much, and after reading the Lord of the Rings and then watching Harry Potter, it really feels like it's not a grade.
However, no matter what the editor-in-chief thought in his heart, after the first two incidents, the enthusiasm of middle school students for buying Harry Potter began to increase, and sales naturally began to rise.
However, with only these two means, it is impossible to sell 350,000 copies in a few days, doesn't it take time to advertise, doesn't it take time to post dynamics and accumulate word-of-mouth?
This kind of thing cannot be achieved overnight, but is a process of warm-up, development, growth, and explosion.
As soon as the editor-in-chief comforted his boss, he got the data that Harry Potter was selling well, and it was a crazy growth trend.
Before he could fully react, Harry Potter was on the bestseller list in the United States with 500,000 copies, occupying the second place on the monthly list and the first place on the weekly list last week.
"Didn't you say he couldn't have sold half a million copies this month, then tell me, was it my dazzle, or did the statisticians get it wrong," the owner of the Hollywood Daily slammed the table in his office again.
The editor-in-chief wiped his sweat and began to shirk responsibility in embarrassment.
"Boss, this is definitely Li Daniu using cheating methods, he must have united with the publishing house and sold and bought himself.
This data is definitely moisture. ” "Then you can find me evidence that he sold and bought himself."
The boss of the Hollywood Daily said coldly: "If you can't find it, you have to change it for me." ” The editor-in-chief received the order and began to investigate the matter, but the result made him puzzled, why so many Chinese people came to the United States to buy Li Daniu's new novel However, he doesn't need to know the reason, anyway, what they are best at is reversing black and white.
So, the editor-in-chief excitedly reported the news to his boss, and threatened to publish a report to expose Li Daniu, and used unknown means to bribe the Chinese people to help him sell sales, and even reported that Li Daniu and the Huaxia government had some kind of special deal that no one knew.
At a time when the whole world is afraid of the development speed of the country of Huaxia, such remarks can definitely have a great impact on Li Daniu.
However, when his boss listens to his thoughts, he becomes furious again.
"Are you an idiot, do you know how much income Chinese people create for our country to travel to the United States every year, do you know that the current Chinese film market is already the world's largest film market, believe it or not, this report comes out, don't wait for Li Daniu to trouble us, Hollywood's giants who aim at the Chinese film market will tear us to pieces" The owner of the Hollywood Daily found that slapping the table could no longer release the anger in his heart, and in the face of such an idiot's men, he angrily threw his crystal ashtray and continued to yell.
"Don't you know that the favorite thing of the Chinese people is to boycott them, do you know how much the turnover of Japanese car companies dropped in a year when the Chinese people boycotted Japanese products last year, when they smashed Japanese cars?"
The editor-in-chief timidly said, "But didn't they continue to use Japanese products later?"
"You know the."
The boss of the Hollywood Daily felt that his throat was about to smoke, but he continued to roar: "If it weren't for those boycotts, do you think those domestic cars in China would be able to steal so much market share?"
"Moreover, we are the Hollywood Daily, Hollywood makes movies, don't you know that movies are pirated, do you have to force them to watch pirated Hollywood movies as a legitimate patriotic act" Only then did the editor-in-chief understand what his boss meant, and he was also scared into a cold sweat, if because of his report, Hollywood movies were sluggish at the box office in China, let alone him, even if he was his boss, there was no way to gain a foothold in Hollywood.
They are newspapers, not web forums.
They can create gossip about celebrities out of nothing, but there are some problems that they absolutely can't touch.
"Are we really going to run naked on the Avenue of Fame?"
The owner of the Hollywood Daily has regained his calm at this time, and in his opinion, the current situation, it is better to go directly to the naked than to think of any way to justify.
The United States likes to preach the spirit of contract the most, and if they resolutely fulfill their bets, they may be able to add a reputation to themselves that they are trustworthy, and then will the sales of newspapers increase?
For businessmen, what kind of money is king.
"Inform me to go down and go to the Avenue of Stars naked tomorrow morning, if you don't want to go, just resign."
"Boss, play really" "Otherwise, you can choose to resign."

If he resigns and resigns with the reputation of escaping the gambling contract, which media will be willing to ask for him The next day, Li Daniu woke up early in the morning and saw the headline push on his mobile phone.
"The owner of the Hollywood Daily and all the employees ran naked on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at six o'clock this morning, and then were all arrested by the police who rushed to the scene.
It is reported that they may be prosecuted by relevant agencies for crimes such as disturbing public order, and the following is a live video provided by netizens" t1706231537:
