Chapter 244
Yang Ling twisted his neck, which was a little sore. He didn't pay attention to when the chandelier in the living room was turned on. When he saw that the watch was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
It was already dark outside, and my classmates were still focused on reading, all attracted by the wonderful stories in "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
I only read the books of sages and spend most of my time dealing with various teaching materials. Now there are so many incredible things happening in the bizarre and strange fields!
Many people have never moved the drinks placed around them, and they seem to have forgotten to go to the toilet.
The students here are studying hard, while Zhang Chu checked the sales of his book "Youth Pi".
It seems that it was a long time ago that he wrote "Boyant Pi". This novel not only won him a gold medal, but also received millions of royalties!
Such a work that has long appeared in the public eye has finally been released in a physical version, which makes readers who want to buy books to collect them.
However, the publishing industry is very regretful about the experience of this book. The electronic version download was so fierce a month ago, and it has already passed its peak period.
If the physical and electronic version were released together, Zhang Chu would have a second winning work. Now it seems that "Youth Pi" has no chance.
Matcha was already asleep on Zhang Chu's arm. Yang Ling lowered the volume and asked, "What news are you reading? Are you smiling so happily?"
Zhang Chu turned his phone around. The picture shows the sales volume of "Youth Pi" yesterday and the day before yesterday, and the serial number has also changed from 3 to 1!
"I won the single-day championship yesterday?"
Yang Ling was extremely surprised. Didn’t he say that this novel had been read by readers long ago? How could he win the championship?
Not to mention Yang Ling, Zhang Chu himself was also a little surprised. At that time, he could sell almost tens of thousands of e-books every day, but now there are only less than three thousand copies a day, but the physical books shocked him greatly.
The reason why "Pi's Fantasy Drift" has reached the championship in the single-day sales list is that physical books support most of the sky. People of all ages like to read this work. The reputation of the previous one was so well-known that this work is about to appear!
"Stop talking about "Youth Pi", tell me what you just read, how is "Ghost Blows Out the Light" written?"
Zhang Chu really wants to hear the opinions of his top students, especially his major is called the Chinese Department, and most of his classmates are knowledgeable and have very high literary literacy.
Yang Ling organized the language and he said, "It must be a good work, the language is very fluent and will not make people feel like they are out of the play. Although I have not experienced the 1970s and 1980s, the era in my mind is similar to what you describe."
"I can't use the standards of literary works to measure such a weird novel, right?"
"I feel relieved after hearing what you said, at least I have a clear mind." Zhang Chu touched Matcha with his hand.
At this time, the rest of the students had almost finished reading. Although there was only half of the content, it was about 80,000 or 90,000 words.
An Mi touched her neck exaggeratedly, "My neck is frozen. Who will help me hit it?"
"I have to go to the bathroom, I've been holding it in my arms just now."
"Look in line, I'll go in first!"
The originally quiet living room suddenly became a mess, and even the battle for the toilet started.
The sleeping matcha was also awakened by the movement, and his ears were gently moved, and he was very alert.
After some trouble, everyone sat together and looked at Zhang Chu with bright eyes.
"Uh, don't just look at me, tell me what you think of this novel. I really need everyone's opinions!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Su Wenbin took the initiative to say: "To be honest, you are already a very mature work, you can publish it directly."
"Yes, I think this type of novel must be very popular, just like the martial arts novels in the past and the fantasy novels now!" Tong Yang also echoed, "I can't find anything that needs to be modified. I don't know if my level is too low or your level is too high!"
"I guess everyone is attracted by the plot, so where can I find time to find fault?"
"I think it's a lack of humanistic care, but this is a novel, not a serious literary work."
"Actually, this book has no shortcomings. What I am worried about is whether the plot routines will be seriously assimilated after your content? If the subsequent tomb robbery adventure is just a simple repetition of the plot structure, then it will probably be a little problem."
This sentence touched Zhang Chu's heart, and he was trying to avoid this. Changing the soup without changing the medicine is a taboo in writing.
In his previous life, he had read many tomb robbery novels, and the contents were almost unchanged. The only changes were the location, name, identity of the tomb owner, and various zombies, wild ghosts, monsters and elves during the tomb robbery!
The protagonist and even all characters are just linking the stories in the narrative of these plots, which can easily cause readers to become aesthetically tired of tomb robbery stories, thereby reducing the attraction of the novel.
"Tutu is right. In fact, I am trying to make changes to the framework behind it, so that every story has a completely different impression. The protagonist Hu Bayi is not a spectator, but a real participant."
An Mi asked, "What exactly happened in Jingjue Ancient City later?"
Zhang Chu will not spoil the spoilers at this moment. He said mysteriously: "It will definitely surprise you, so watch it then."
"It's really awesome. Zhang Chu, you haven't read the suspense novel before, but this book looks very interesting. You must buy it after it is published."
"Yes, I finally found such an interesting story. I really want to see what's going on."
"Are the jargons and introductions about tomb robbers in the novel true? Is there any base in Yerengou? The Jingjue Kingdom and Niya ruins you wrote have both existed in history, and are the rest of the things compiled by yourself?"
"It must be a good book. I have a premonition that after your book is released, there will definitely be a lot of followers."
"This book should leave a strong mark on the history of popular literature. In the future, if I go out to brag, I can say that I have a classmate named Zhang Chu!"
Everyone talked about it, and they were almost always praising it.
Zhang Chu was amused and crying, and he said helplessly: "I came to you to pick on you, why are you all talking nice things? Don't worry, I can withstand criticism!"
Yang Ling patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Do you think we are holding our energy and don't want to find fault? You really can't find it! The novel structure, text, rhythm, and character image are all fine. Can we still give opinions on Feng Shui or descriptions of tomb robbery?"
"Yes! We are powerless."
