Chapter 274 Change Weibo Certification
Chapter 274 Change Weibo Certification
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Jiang. We were not considerate enough and almost discredited you."
"No need to apologize. We stopped it in time. Fortunately you told us in advance."
When Jiang Mubai's book was on sale, she didn't specifically post on Weibo to tell everyone and let her fans buy it. It was the publishing house that posted on Weibo and tagged Jiang Mubai's fans, and then they knew that the new book was ready and on sale.
Two hundred thousand books were sold out in just thirty minutes, and the people from the publishing house urgently called Jiang Mubai to inform him of the situation.
"Teacher Jiang! The book is sold out. Many fans left comments on Weibo saying they didn't get it. Do you think you should print more?"
Jiang Mubai didn't expect this scene. When she decided on the quantity, she thought it was too much and was afraid that they wouldn't sell, so she planned to print 30,000 to 50,000 copies. It was the publishing house that determined the number of 200,000 copies based on her number of fans, but she didn't expect that they also miscalculated.
"Then you can print some more, and I will pay you when the time comes."
"No need. We have already made back the money we put into printing these books. We will not charge you any fees as we are making a small profit but quick turnover. This will also save you money, Mr. Jiang."
After receiving Jiang Mubai's instructions, the publishing house asked the factory to start production overnight to prevent the fans from waiting impatiently.
Even if we try our best, it can't be done overnight, so the publishing house specially sent a Weibo post to inform fans of the situation and asked them to stay patient.
Cheng Yunchuan kept his word and specially asked someone to help him grab a hundred books. Jiang Mubai's book had five covers and was shipped randomly. It would be safer for him to buy a hundred copies. He wanted the books with five covers to be signed by Jiang Mubai and then keep them all.
Jiang Mubai got the book with five covers before anyone else. It was specially sent to her by the publishing house.
Some people have already received the first batch of books and can't wait to open them and read them. Everyone is full of praise for the contents of the books. Some fans want to know but can't buy them.
Jiang Mubai had no choice but to ask the publishing house to produce another batch and told fans that this was the last batch of new books and there was nothing they could do if they couldn't get them.
Fans even set alarms on their phones to remind themselves to grab the tickets when the time comes. Some were so afraid that they wouldn’t be able to grab the tickets that they went to the seafood market to find someone to help them grab the tickets. They really did everything they could.
The price of the new book was revealed by fans on the first day of selling. After seeing it, passers-by said that Jiang Mubai was doing charity and that it was a blessing to be her fan. Jiang Mubai's reputation in the eyes of the audience has improved a lot.
With the publication of her own book this time, Jiang Mubai is not only an actress but also a writer. Her fans even insist on categorizing her as a suspense and mystery writer before a writer.
They also expressed their anticipation for Jiang Mubai's second book to be released. After all, the first book was really interesting, and it was not like they, the fans, had their own filter and thought everything was good about their idol.
Some fans stopped selling and even scanned the story to show others, letting them know how strong Jiang Mubai is. This move completely slapped the faces of those who had previously mocked Jiang Mubai.
The person who said Jiang Mubai was cutting leeks from his fans was dragged out and beaten again. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and deleted his Weibo account and cancelled it.
Many senior screenwriters in the group read the content posted by Jiang Mubai’s fans and said that the story was very interesting and praised Jiang Mubai’s writing style.
Jiang Mubai was very happy to see that everyone liked him. After all, it feels really good to be recognized by everyone.
Manman also helped her add the word "writer" to her Weibo certification. Because this little thing was on the hot search again, Jiang Mubai had no choice because she really didn't spend money to buy the hot search, and she was also worried that being on the hot search all day would ruin her popularity.
"Next time if there is nothing else to do, we can just spend money to suppress the trending searches. I am an actor, not a star. I don't need to show my daily life to everyone all day long. I don't like that either."
Manman has always been obedient to her, so of course she would not refute Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai has been the most popular person recently. Li Jingming has also heard that she has been on the hot searches many times.
After he met Jiang Mubai at the film festival dinner, he followed Jiang Mubai on Weibo. He also saw the news the day after the dinner, which were all harmless things, so he did not intervene.
He knows the thoughts of entertainment reporters too well in the entertainment circle. Any female star who says something to him will be brought up for entertainment. Li Jingming is too busy to have so much energy to care about these things. As long as it does not touch his bottom line, he can pretend not to see it.
So Li Jingming naturally saw the suspense stories that Jiang Mubai posted on Weibo. Like Jiang Mubai's fans, he would log in to Weibo every day to see if Jiang Mubai's account had been updated that day.
When he learned that Jiang Mubai was going to publish a new book, he also planned to buy a copy to take a look at, but Jiang Mubai's fans were so terrible that he couldn't get one at all, so he ended up buying it from someone else at a high price.
Li Jingming is now reading Jiang Mubai's book for the second time in the office. Every time he reads it, he can discover more details that he has not noticed before. Li Jingming can't help but sigh in his heart that Jiang Mubai is amazing.
Li Jingming flipped to the finale and had an idea in his mind after reading it. "Since many fans and netizens can't buy this book, why don't I make it into a movie so that everyone can see it? Jiang Mubai's fans and viewers who are curious about the content will go to the cinema to buy tickets, and with the gimmick of the actress, there's no doubt that the box office will not be good."
Li Jingming thought about it carefully in his mind and felt that the idea was feasible, so he called the company's screenwriter to see if it could be adapted into a script. After the screenwriter finished reading Jiang Mubai's book, she told Li Jingming that it was okay.
All that was left was to find Jiang Mubai and tell her about adapting the novel into a movie.
Li Jingming didn't have Jiang Mubai's contact information. In fact, he could have asked someone to help him get it, but he felt that doing so would be ungraceful and disrespectful, so he didn't ask for it. Instead, he found Manman on Weibo.
He told Manman what he meant, and Manman replied that she could tell Jiang Mubai about this and let him wait for the news without worry. Manman and Li Jingming exchanged contact information.
On the third day, Li Jingming received a call from Jiang Mubai. On the phone, Jiang Mubai asked Li Jingming to come out for tea and said that it would be more convenient to discuss things face to face.
"Boss Li, long time no see."
"Long time no see. I'm sure you've heard why I came to see you today. I'll get straight to the point. We have a very good screenwriter here who can adapt the script. I hope Mr. Jiang can rest assured."
"Mr. Li's company is full of talented people, so I'm not worried about this. I want to participate in the whole process. Of course, I won't take the initiative to interfere, but you can't change my book at will. I just have this one condition and I hope you can understand."
"Of course, this is like your book is like your child, you want to see it change step by step, and we certainly understand that."
