257 [Zhang Wanjun, who is red through half the sky]
Zhang Wanjun looked surprised and said, "Really! My book sold a million copies in Japan?"
Looking at Zhang Wanjun who was surprised and excited, Huo Yaowen grinned and said: "Of course it's true! But to be precise, it has sold 1.05 million copies in Japan, and it is still being reprinted, and according to the telegram sent by Kodansha, it is estimated that it will sell at least about 1.5 million copies." ”
Hearing the affirmative reply, Zhang Wanjun was overjoyed, put her arms around Huo Yaowen and said, "That's great! I never thought that my book could sell a million copies, it's incredible!"
Huo Yaowen rubbed the hair on her forehead and said, "What's incredible about this, being able to sell so well shows that you write well, so that you can be popular in Japan." ”
When he first received the news of the big sale from Kodansha, Huo Yaowen must have been happy, but he pondered it carefully, and he couldn't believe it like Zhang Wanjun at this time.
This book is actually very different from Keigo Higashino's original book, although the setting is still a grocery store, and the heroine is also writing letters to the male protagonist in another time and space, but this can only be said to be a simple and unusual love story, far from the heart-warming power of the original book.
When Huo Yaowen wrote this outline, he actually wanted to copy the original version, but considering that Zhang Wanjun may not be able to have the pen power of Keigo Higashino, he decided to make a big change after thinking about it.
may lose the flavor of the original book because of this, but it doesn't matter, because after Zhang Wanjun's writing improves, Huo Yaowen will still hand over the original outline to her to write, and at that time, it will be good to directly promote and release the "Sequel to the Worry Relief Grocery Store", anyway, Keigo Higashino is just a little kid at this time.
In addition, in the past few months, in addition to conceiving the plot of the new book, Zhang Wanjun is writing a manuscript for the column of "Literary World", saying that he is writing a manuscript, but in fact he is replying to the letters of those readers, so this is also a good reason to show that Zhang Wanjun will use this opportunity to conceive this new story in the future.
"Great! This is the best news I've heard in recent times. The book she wrote sold well, and listening to her cousin's words praising herself, Zhang Wanjun's heart was as beautiful as eating honey, and she swept away the gloomy mood in the past few months.

Although Huo Yaowen was the first to know the news that "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" was selling well in Japan, the media in Hong Kong were not vegetarians, but after a few days, a newspaper reported on the incident.
What followed was a rush of media coverage across Hong Kong!
Oriental Daily: "... Recently, Miss Zhang Wanjun, a well-known talented woman in Hong Kong, wrote "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" after it was published in Japan, and sold an astonishing 1 million copies in just two months......
"Literary World": "I don't know if you still remember the pure love frenzy that surged in Hong Kong last year?...... Last year, Miss Zhang Wanjun's "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" were published, which not only achieved proud sales results, but also aroused heated discussions in Hong Kong and Taiwan, creating a new type of romance theme [pure love], and because of this, Miss Zhang Wanjun was called the first pure love female writer in Hong Kong by the media!"
"Commercial Daily": "The book "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" written by Zhang Wanjun, a well-known talent in Hong Kong, has sold millions of copies in Japan and has become another Chinese best-selling author after Huo Yaowen. ”
"Sing Tao Daily": "Last year, there was one more talented woman in the Hong Kong literary scene, that is, Zhang Wanjun, the author of "Autumn Fairy Tale" and "Anxiety Grocery Store". She and the well-known Yishu are both well-known young talents in Hong Kong, and they can be described as two lotus ......"
"Ming Pao": "When I walk through the mountains, the mountains do not speak, when I pass by the sea, the sea does not speak, and the little donkey ticks, leaning on the sword of heaven to accompany me to the end of the world......
Last year, an article entitled "The First Encounter at Fengling Ferry, the First Sight of Yang for Life" set off a wave in Hong Kong. At that time, some people said that he had read Mr. Jin Yong's "The Condor Heroes" once, but did not find any description of this passage in it. In fact, Mr. Jin Yong did not write this paragraph in the book, and even the person Yang Guo met at Fengling Ferry was not Guo Xiang, but Guo Fu, the eldest lady of the Guo family.
The origin of this passage was written by Ms. Zhang Wanjun, who was hotly discussed in Hong Kong at this time, and although it may be a little different from the original book, Mr. Jin Yong has praised this article many times publicly or privately. Ms. Zhang Wanjun is praised for not only her extraordinary literary brilliance, but also the characteristics she writes in her articles that Mr. Kim Yong does not have, which have nothing to do with anything else, but only originate from the word love.
A long time ago, Mr. Jin Yong decided that after writing "The Legend of Deer and Ding", he would make major changes to several books he had written before, the most eye-catching of which should be the revision of "The Condor". It is reported that Mr. Jin Yong has thought of focusing on Ms. Zhang Wanjun's essay, and will focus on revising Guo Xiang's encounter with Yang Guo in the book. ”
In addition to newspaper reports, many writers, writers, and commentators in the Hong Kong literary scene are also vying to follow suit.
Yishu wrote in the newspaper: "Miss Zhang is a very talented person, and I would like to have the opportunity to meet and talk to her in the future." ”
Jin Yong, who met Zhang Wanjun under the introduction of Huo Yaowen last year, praised in "Ming Pao": "Wanzhi is as beautiful as an orchid, and the gentleman is more talented than immortals!"
Qiong Yao, who came to Hong Kong to promote the new movie "Deep in the Courtyard", when asked by a reporter what she thought of Hong Kong's new generation of talented Zhang Wanjun, her answer was more official: "I haven't been in contact with Miss Zhang, but I have read her, and she writes very well, which can be regarded as creating a new first-class school of romance." ”
At present, she has been contributing to "Literary World", and Lin Yanni, who is a little famous, also wrote: "I once met Miss Zhang, she is very beautiful, and most of her characters are a little similar to herself. ”
...
It's on fire!
It's a complete fire!
In just a few days, Zhang Wanjun became popular all over Hong Kong.
Among them, in addition to the fact that "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" is a big hit in Japan, the most important thing is because of Zhang Wanjun's identity as a female writer. Last year, the book was published in Literary World, and although a single copy was later released, it was rarely purchased a second time except for lovers. So Zhang Wanjun could only be regarded as a well-known female writer at that time.
However, after the establishment of Yaowen Book Publishing Company by Huo Yaowen, Zhang Wanjun's "Autumn Fairy Tale" was published in Hong Kong, and more than 70,000 copies were sold, and more than 100,000 copies were sold in Taiwan, which honored her identity as a pure love female writer in one fell swoop.
However, what makes Zhang Wanjun truly famous for the general public in Hong Kong is the essay "Seeing Yang for Life" published in "Literary World", which not only attracted the joy of many of her romance female book fans, but also made many readers who love Jin Yong's martial arts sought after.
Yishu, who became famous in the same year, was called "a new generation of female talents in Hong Kong" by the newspaper. After several months of writing articles in the column of "Literary World", Zhang Wanjun's identity as a talented woman can be regarded as completely confirmed.
The reason why it was not reported before was mainly because Zhang Wanjun lived in a shallow position during this time, only wrote columns in magazines, and never published new works, which led to her fame gradually flattening.
But with the news that "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store" was selling well in Japan and came back to Hong Kong, this became a very good outlet for catharsis, and it immediately led to fierce reports from dozens of newspapers in Hong Kong.
