Chapter 199 Still this operation?
Two days ago, during the New York Book Fair, a piece of news spread widely: Bi Yu, Su Tong and other well-known domestic writers encountered the dilemma of no one to care about. The title was particularly exaggerated, "There is no place to be lost, there is no bird at all."
Many netizens have this idea. After publishing a few books overseas, they think they are world-renowned. The news reports on Chinese literature going global are very interesting.
Most of the sources of the news come from the parties themselves, otherwise it was the self-media of the writers involved. So there was a strange phenomenon that a Chinese writer was "sung" overseas, but foreigners did not know it, but Chinese people knew it.
It can only be said that this is a "miracle" created by Chinese literature.
Because of this phenomenon, active anti-counterfeiting fighters on Weibo often go abroad to investigate whether the sales volume of overseas newspapers and websites are as boasted by China.
Over time, many bragging press releases have been exposed. It is obviously a good thing, but they are cheated by the agency and become the negative textbook!
A blacksmith must be strong himself. This fierce publicity posture has really attracted the attention of the famous micro-Bo fighter Yan Xinyuan.
"So many Twitter screenshots are their own account or a very small number of people who praise them, right?"
Yan Xinyuan questioned the value of Zhang Chu, a genius writer. In his opinion, none of the literary celebrities have successfully taken the lead. This ordinary young writer should not only want to gild his face.
Intercepting the speeches of Twitter users to highlight the popularity of their works overseas is no longer new.
The possible intercepted speech is the only comments below the keywords, or it may be the account that is disguised by domestic users, or the account of a public relations company.
Yan Xinyuan searched Zhang Chu's name with ease and found that this extremely ordinary name actually had more than 100,000 related comments!
"So many? It's really scary."
He searched for the name Sherlock again, but because of the original work of Sherlock Holmes, the amount of discussion on this topic is extremely terrifying. But the recent discussions are all about the works of Chinese writers, which is "Detective Sherlock"!
After spending many years on the Internet, Yan Xinyuan certainly knows what so many comments mean. I'm afraid that first-line European and American writers are just at this level.
It is difficult to fake so many Twitter users, so he went to BBC, CNN, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Le Figaro, Times and other official websites to check historical news.
Those news pictures are absolutely true and have not passed any PS!
"It's amazing, are you really going to get out of a global idol-level writer?"
Yan Xinyuan is on Weibo to fight counterfeiting on the counterfeiting website. The live broadcast income is his source of income. There are often a group of netizens watching the fun.
Who would have thought that this time, not only did it not fight counterfeiting, but it turned into a publicity!
Almost everyone laughed crazy on the barrage.
"After watching the live broadcast for so long, I finally saw Lao Yan failing!"
"Zhang Chu is really a bit famous on the Internet, but most of them are Shenxia. Few people in the Young Pi know about it."
"Old Tie, it's not good for the start of the army this time!"
"Finally, there is a real overseas hot sale."
"Don't say it too early, sales have not yet come out!"
"Sit down to wait for the launch of "Shen Xia" to see if you can still laugh."
"Lao Yan, remember to do a follow-up in a month. I'm waiting to see sales and evaluation!"
In fact, Yan Xinyuan also took advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of Zhang Chu's popularity.
Now, the number of people watching the live broadcast is seven or eight times that of the past, and even the gifts received are much more!
And those keyboards are ready, netizens can only give up helplessly. It’s true, it’s not a fake one!
...
At this time, Zhang Chu calmly spread the pictures he had just drawn online. Originally, he just bought a set of drawing tools online to try out how powerful the basic comic skills are.
Who knew that this trial would take several hours to draw a pattern in his mind. This was basically his original picture, and it was a scene in the teenager Pi.
"I started writing today. What do you think of this painting? [Picture]"
In the blue sea, a small boat, a golden tiger lying lazily on the boat, the bow of the boat was the shadow of a black boy, and upstream was a group of sharks and turtles.
This painting is indeed very similar to the scene of a pie drifting on the sea, and it quickly made Zhang Chu's fans very excited!
"Wow, it's really your hand-painted?"
"It's very artistic! Please find a high-definition, watermark-free large picture!"
"I didn't expect that Zhang Chu would have this skill."
"After reading the novel, I'll look at this picture again, it's a bit sad."
"Richard Parker x Young Pie, the rhythm of love and killing each other!"
"Good, good, collected."
"The young Pi is indeed his own son, this treatment!"
"Strongly express doubt, is this really what you drew? It's just a big touch!"
"It's more than enough to be used as a cover of a novel!"
The netizen who commented in the last comment was probably the prophet. Zhang Chu just saw his comment, and Gu Xinxue, editor of Nanhai Publishing Company, called the phone.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the editor was always paying attention to any movements about Zhang Chu.
Previously, Gu Xinxue had many famous writers than Zhang Chu. Now, less than half a year later, Zhang Chu is almost about to become the top player.
"Editor Gu?"
"I looked at the pictures you posted online. Is that your original one?" Gu Xinxue asked with anticipation.
Zhang Chu smiled and said, "Of course, is it necessary for someone else to do it?"
Although the skills are systematic, he has basically integrated them now, so it is normal to draw this work.
"That's good, that's good. Our company is about to find a few big guys to customize the cover of "Boys Pi". Now you have solved it yourself. I think this is quite good as the cover!"
Zhang Chu really didn't expect that he would use it to test his painting skills. It would be praised by netizens, but even professional editors would recognize it.
"Are you sure this can be used as the cover?" He asked with some disconfidence, otherwise he would exchange it for an intermediate level from the system and mastery of advanced comics?
Gu Xinxue was confident: "I just posted it in our company's WeChat group. The art editor said it could be done, and just write the name of the novel and your name."
It turns out that he has too much skills and doesn’t suppress himself. Zhang Chu is very satisfied now!
"Of course, this must be of course subjective. I suggest that you can ask the agent to contact Random House to see if all versions of "Young Pi" around the world can use your picture as the cover, which has enough gimmicks!"
Zhang Chu widened his eyes. He actually had such an operation?
Chapter completed!
