Chapter 163 Milestones
"This zebra with broken legs corresponds to sailors, orangutan corresponds to Py's mother. The one who killed them was the chef. Who is Richard Parker? Does Py himself? Did the tiger never existed?"
Chen Yingsong thought, perhaps the tiger in the first story is the protagonist who sent him. The ferocious tiger is the sinful and beastly side of human beings, and the one who fights against the tiger is obviously the divine nature in his heart.
When dangerous moments, animal nature helps humans survive. When humans pursue infinitely and approach divinity, animal nature will leave without being noticed.
"Maybe there are more hidden content in this novel." Chen Yingsong sighed. He entered 100 points in the novel scoring column without hesitation, and was preparing to read it carefully after going back to the hotel in the evening.
Zhang Chu's brushwork is too crazy but extremely subtle, and a lot of content must be slowly savored from it. He believes that Zhang Chu's novel is not about telling an outrageously beautiful fantasy story, nor about expounding religious beliefs and rational thinking about life's choices, but about using this cruel fact to repent about life and reflect on human nature!
This novel is a mirror, and readers can see their own hearts.
...
A few minutes after the score was scored, Deng Yiming walked over in a hurry.
He asked nervously: "Teacher Chen, the first score you scored today is the full score? Are you right?"
"It's right. At first I was only going to give 75 points, but then the more I watched it, it became more and more exciting, and it slowly rose to 85 points. Later, the ending was a magical turn. It suddenly unfolded the previous preparation, making people feel natural. Giving a 100 point is nothing!"
Chen Yingsong praised him vigorously. His mind is full of the plot of "Boys Pi" and he can't read the next book at all.
Of course Deng Yiming knew that this percentage was a work for Zhang Chu, but he was still a little skeptical.
Zhang Chu is also very famous. He has written two novels, and his writing style and framework are guaranteed, but this is a literary work. Isn’t it too exaggerating to give a 100 mark?
"Old Deng, you can read his novel by yourself, or wait until the rest of the people finish reading it before rating. If you think 100 points are too much, I will change it immediately!"
Chen Yingsong has such confidence that anyone who has watched "Boyant Pi" will be impressed by it.
After all, they are just essay contests in literature competitions, and the requirements are lower than those selected for Contradictory Literature Awards, Lu Xun Literature Awards, etc.!
"Then I believe you once. It just so happened that Lao Ma, Lao Cao and the others were applying to take Zhang Chu's novel back to the hotel to read, so I'll join in the fun."
Deng Yiming was moved by Chen Yingsong's recommendation. He is also a person who likes literary works. Of course, he wants to see this work that conquered literary masters!
...
At this time, Zhang Chu slept in a daze, and it was not until the alarm clock rang that he woke him up from his sleep.
Fortunately, there was no class on Monday morning, otherwise he would have become the first person in the class to skip classes.
After he had enough sleep, his energy slowly recovered. He had written "Youth Pi" for several consecutive days, which made him feel a little vomiting when he saw the keyboard and the document.
"Never do such a tiring thing again next time, it's just overdrawing your energy!"
Zhang Chu took a shower and became refreshed. He knew that the essay competition would not be able to produce results so quickly, and he also knew that it would be useless to worry, so he might as well relax.
At this time, many people were discussing why Zhang Chu is so quiet now, and the content of the chapter is updated regularly every two days, and no matter how he commented, he did not show up.
He looked at his empty computer desk. When he was at home, his mother would always put all kinds of snacks here so that he could eat while watching movies or playing games.
Now that I have come to Yanjing, no one has bought him snacks anymore. This is sometimes unaccustomed to it, especially when it is late at night, I am hungry and greedy and want to eat something. I reach out to get it, but I have nothing.
Just as he was considering what to buy online, Zhou Kang called.
"You are awake now? I was worried that you would disturb you in the morning and I didn't dare to call you."
As Zhang Chu's literary agent, Zhou Kang actually has his course schedule, so he will not make phone calls in class when in contact.
Zhang Chu replied: "I just woke up shortly. Uncle Zhou, can't you say something on WeChat if you have something to do?"
Zhou Kang called, "It's not convenient to chat on WeChat, so it's better to make a phone call."
“So what’s going on?”
"Didn't you receive good news from Nanhai Publishing Company? The cumulative sales of your two books have exceeded one million!"
After Zhang Chu woke up, he had never opened QQ. Now he uses Weibo and WeChat more, and probably missed the text message from editor Gu Xinxue.
The two books have accumulated over one million, which is indeed good news worth knowing!
"I really didn't pay much attention to these two books, how come it has risen so fast." He remembered that "Psychological Crime" had been released less than a month ago, and he didn't come out to promote it. Except for paying attention to sales on the first day and the next day, he was completely in a state of stocking.
It’s true that wild lilies have spring.
"Of course, this million-dollar sales do not refer to physical books, but physical books + e-books. You don't think about how much exposure you have been in the past month. If you have a more popular type, the sales of these two books may be towards two million copies!"
Zhang Chu was still a little happy. If it weren't for these two books, he might not have had such a great momentum.
The right time, place, and people are indispensable.
Zhou Kang continued on the other end of the phone: "You are one of the rare weird things in terms of sales. Among the 710,000 copies sold by "Sherlock", more than 400,000 copies were in electronic channels. Among the 320,000 copies sold by "Psychological Crime: City Light", 190,000 copies were purchased through e-books or online payment."
In fact, the popularity of e-books is not too wide. Most writers' physical books have more sales than electronic books, which is fundamentally the opposite of Zhang Chu's current form.
Most of Zhang Chu’s readers are young people. They are more accustomed to supporting them on mobile phones, computers, and other readers. Only a few people will choose to buy physical books to collect them.
His popularity on the Internet is very high, and his influence will be greatly reduced after he leaves the Internet media.
No matter what, sales of millions are a real milestone, and are numbers accumulated by readers with real money!
"Why do I feel like I have become an internet celebrity writer?"
Zhang Chu touched his chin, was he considered to have made great contributions to the environmental protection of the motherland, and saved so much paper.
