Of course, the days when he doesn't have to write books are comfortable, Zhang Chu only needs to go to class every day, and he can play games or wander around Laoyanjing City after class.

It's a magical city, busy and laid-back.

Even though the atmosphere of modernity has changed the city, there are still many places where traces of history have been preserved, and the times have converged here.

The gate of Yanjing City is known as the inner nine outer seven imperial city four, but now many city gates have been demolished.

There are many elderly people in Dongsi Hutong, who take a small horse and sit on the side of the box as a security volunteer, basking in the sun while chatting with passing neighbors!

A one's journey is very pleasant, stopping and stopping, recording these buildings and scenery with your eyes, and occasionally taking out your mobile phone to take a photo.

It's just that Zhang Chu's shooting skills are really lacking, and even adding a filter can't save the composition, so he rarely shares the scenery he shoots.

When you are tired of walking, of course, you have to find a restaurant to rest, and enjoy the food by the way.

Maybe it's noon, there aren't many people dining, this hot pot restaurant is not very upscale, it looks like it's been a few years!

Different from the spicy hot pot in Shancheng and other places, the old Yanjing copper pot shabu-shabu pays attention to the original flavor and uses a clear soup base, which can maintain the freshness of the mutton to the greatest extent.

A green onion, an star anise, a few slices of ginger, half a pot of boiling water, this is the soup base.

The dipping sauce is exquisite, you can add a little coriander or chopped green onion on top of the good sesame sauce, and then add the soup base to mix the sesame sauce after the water boils.

Zhang Chu chose a corner by the window alone, he is probably used to this kind of life, and it's good that no one is involved!

Although they are often given dog food, they are tired of eating it and are gradually gaining immunity.

Putting the mobile phone on the table, watching the discussion on Zhihu while shabu shabu, Zhang Chu ate very comfortably, and he should have eaten more beef and mutton in late autumn.

"Ding", the mobile phone prompted that a new WeChat message was received, so he clicked to view.

This is the sales result sent by the agent Zhou Kang, and the super high number looks very gratifying, at least Zhang Chu can eat two more plates of meat!

"There are already 2.6 million copies in China, and it seems that sales will be slower after the first day of the explosion. ”

Zhang Chu also knows that although there are many Chinese people, although "The Da Vinci Code" is very good, the sales in China will definitely not be able to catch up with "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for a while.

The work released by him is also very popular, and the popularity of the two is almost the same, but the disadvantage of "The Da Vinci Code" is that the story is almost entirely foreign culture and religion, which makes readers feel unfamiliar.

After all, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is the story of my own country, and I usually have contact with tomb robbery and feng shui, so the sense of substitution is slightly stronger.

In the sales statistics of foreign countries, the United States has undoubtedly become the region with the highest sales, selling 1.8 million copies in a few days, and it is rising with heated discussions.

Although there are few people in the UK, they can't stand the fact that the people like to read, especially the works that are closely related to them, and the stories of the Holy Grail are heard from childhood, not to mention that more than half of the scenes in it take place in the UK, so 700,000 copies sold is nothing at all!

There is no doubt that the French love Leonardo da Vinci and the Mona Lisa, the Louvre is their pride, and by interpreting the content of the hand-me-down paintings, they are almost ecstatic!

Canada has both English-speaking and French-speaking regions, so both versions of The Da Vinci Code can be found here.

It's a rare thing that a small town bookstore with a large area and sparsely populated streets, where you usually don't see a few people on the streets, is welcoming customers to come and go, because the snow is already beginning to fall in the north point!

There are many ordinary readers who read it, and at the same time, those book reviewers and writers also set their eyes on such a work, so controversial, so popular, of course, you have to take a good look.

The New York Times was the first to give book reviews, and this influential newspaper has always been loved by readers, and the bestseller list and book reviews on it can be said to be the vane of readers' book purchases!

As long as you can get a recommendation from this newspaper, then the increase in sales is not a problem at all.

"Since the publication of Harry Potter, no author has set such a trap to trick the reader into holding his breath to chase the plot, and to blatantly take pleasure in it! ”

It can be seen that the New York Times is quite fond of this work.

Another best-selling author, Nelson DeMiller, who has topped the bestseller list many times, has always been a fan of suspense, and he exaggerated on his Twitter account: "Zhang Chu must be the best, smartest, and most successful writer in that country in the Far East! The Da Vinci Code overshadowed the rest of the horrors known for its intelligence, and it captured my heart!"

Another British writer, Clive Kusler, was asked about his recent readings in an interview with the London Review of Books, and he did not hesitate to praise Zhang Chu and the new book in 360 degrees.

"Intrigue and thriller are cleverly blended into a lot of elaborate suspense, and it's the best suspense I've seen so far. Numerous mysteries, interlocking, constitute a fascinating myth!"

The French book critic Haarlan Cobain, known for his harsh rhetoric and discernment, often criticized popular works for nothing and unearthed a series of obscure works.

Many of his works became popular under Harlan's recommendation, so readers trusted his vision.

Today, Haarlan Cobain wrote in a book review column for Le Figaro, France's largest newspaper: "The Da Vinci Code is fascinating, and it is almost perfect for those who love to explore history, those who love intrigue and reasoning, those who love riddles, and anyone who is obsessed with bizarre stories." I love this one so much!"

Not only the book critics and writers in these overseas regions have praised "The Da Vinci Code", but also domestic scholars and writers love it tightly, which is almost the ultimate of a bestseller.

He Feng, a professor in the Chinese Department of Yenching University, did not have any intention of avoiding danger, although he was a professor in Zhang Chu's department, he had never taught Zhang Chu any courses, nor did he give extra points because the protagonist was a professor at Yenching University.

He commented matter-of-factly: "This is really a very good film, Zhang Chu completely integrates various literary symbols with thrilling stories, and it is by no means an idle skill." ”

Another children's best-selling author, Yang Ziying, also wrote on Weibo: "Usually, I'm not that type of reader. But "The Da Vinci Code" is suspenseful, the gao tide continues, and the whole storyline continues to move forward along a trajectory. In addition to covering the volume, it makes people feel a lot of emotion, and they feel like they can't put it down. People who live all over the world and love to read thrilling books will soon realize that Zhang Chu is definitely a good storyteller, even a master!"

A bestseller that has captured the hearts of readers around the world.

However, it was loved by so many people, but it was boycotted in other places!

The Catholic Church in the United States organized training for 200 clergy members on how to respond to inquiries from their congregants.

They even set up a website to compete with the book, and they plan to organize a series of reading seminars.

With such a big hot spot, some TV stations in the United States couldn't sit still, and they invited church members to discuss and debate with writers and scholars who like "The Da Vinci Code"!

Religious beliefs in India are complex, with hundreds of Christians burning copies of The Da Vinci Code on the streets of Mumbai, but also attempting to burn a portrait of the author, Zhang Chu.

But this group of Indian Ah San not only has a bad head, but also has a bad eye, and the printed portrait is not Zhang Chu himself at all, but a Chinese film actor.

When this news was released, netizens on Weibo went to the actor's Weibo and swiped 233 under Weibo, which is simply a backing of strength!

Singapore is not far behind, and the Christian Council believes that this work should be listed as an adult theme, and minors should not watch it, and it is better to ban it.

Thailand, a small country, finally bought the Thai publishing rights of "The Da Vinci Code", but under the strong interference of the publishing censors, it had to delete the part of the mystery revealed at the end, so that the password finally disappeared.

What's more excessive is that in the opening part, Zhang Chu originally wrote that all the content in it was true, accurate, and correct, so as to increase the sense of substitution.

But on the Thai side, the publisher had to change this sentence to the work is pure fiction!

This has aroused strong dissatisfaction and opposition from readers across the country and Hanlin Culture Media, how can there be such a thing, it is better to ban it directly!

Of course, there is indeed a country that bans and boycotts it, and that is the Vatican!

At a time when public opinion on the Internet, newspapers, and television was hotly discussed, the Vatican officially launched a motion to boycott the "Da Vinci Code".

Bishop Angelo Amato, speaking at a Catholic conference at the University of Rome in Italy, called on the faithful to boycott The Da Vinci Code: "This book is full of errors, slander and insults, it is an anti-Christian book, and I want you all to boycott the film!"

Boycotts have sprung up all over the world, and as the boss of the religious world, the Vatican's opinion has really affected many people!
