Chapter 163: Milestones
"The zebra with the broken leg corresponds to the sailor, the orangutan corresponds to the mother of the pie, and the cook is the one who killed them, and who does Richard Parker correspond to?
Chen Yingsong thought about it, maybe the tiger in the first story is the protagonist who sent himself, the fierce tiger is the evil and animal side of human beings, and the fight against the tiger is obviously the divinity in the heart.
In times of danger, the bestiality helps humanity survive, and when humanity pursues and approaches the divine infinitely, the bestiality leaves unnoticed.
"Maybe there's more hidden content in this one. Chen Yingsong sighed, he did not hesitate to enter 100 points in the scoring column, and at the same time prepared to read it carefully after returning to the hotel in the evening.
Zhang Chu's penmanship is too crazy but subtle, a lot of content has to be tasted slowly from it, he believes that Zhang Chu's book is not to tell a ridiculously beautiful fantasy story, nor is it to explain religious beliefs and rational thinking on the choice of life, but to use this cruel fact to repent of life and reflect on human nature!
This is a mirror where readers can see their own hearts.
……
Within a few minutes of the score being typed, Deng Yiming came over in a hurry.
He asked nervously, "Teacher Chen, the first score you scored today was a perfect score, right?"
"Make no mistake. At first, I was only going to give 75 points, but then the more I watched it, the more exciting it became, and it slowly rose to 85 points, and then the end was simply a turning point, and the foreshadowing in front of it suddenly unfolded, which made people take it for granted. A 100 is nothing!"
Chen Yingsong praised it vigorously, his head is now full of the plot of "Youth 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 a little famous, he has written two long books, and the writing and framework are guaranteed, but this is a literary work, is it too exaggerated to give a score of 100.
"Old Deng, you can go and see his book yourself, or wait for the rest of the people to read it and then talk about the rating. If you think 100 points is too much, I'll change it right away!"
Chen Yingsong has such confidence, as long as he has watched "Youth School", everyone is impressed by it.
After all, they are just writing essays for literary competitions, and the requirements are lower than those for the Contradictory Literature Award, the Lu Xun Literature Award, and the like!
"Then I'll believe you once. It just so happened that Lao Ma and Lao Cao were all applying to take Zhang Chu's back to the hotel to see, and I also joined 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 has conquered literary masters!
……
At this time, Zhang Chu fell asleep in a dark night, and he was not awakened from his sleep until the alarm clock rang.
Thankfully, there was no class on Monday morning, otherwise he would have been the first person in his class to skip class.
After getting enough sleep, his energy slowly recovered, and he had been writing "Life of Pi" for several days in a row, which made him feel like vomiting when he saw the keyboard and documents.
"Next time, I won't do such a tiring thing again, it's just an overdraft!"
Zhang Chu took a shower, and the whole person became refreshed, he knew that it was impossible for the essay contest to produce results so quickly, and at the same time, he also knew that it was useless to worry, it was better to relax.
At this time, on Weibo, many people are discussing why Zhang Chu is so quiet now, regularly updating the content of a chapter every two days, no matter how much he comments.
He looked at his empty computer desk, where his mother used to keep all kinds of snacks for him to eat while watching movies or playing games.
Now after coming to Yanjing, no one buys him snacks anymore, which is occasionally a little unaccustomed, especially in the dead of night, when he is hungry and hungry and wants to eat something, when he reaches out to get it, there is nothing.
Just as he was thinking about what he wanted to buy online, Zhou Kang's phone called.
"Are you awake now? I was afraid that you would disturb you in the morning, so I didn't dare to call. ”
As Zhang Chu's literary agent, Zhou Kang actually has his class schedule, so that he will at least not call in class.
Zhang Chu replied: "I just woke up not long ago, Uncle Zhou, you can't be here if you have something> Zhou Kang haha," It's not convenient to chat on WeChat, it's better to call. ”
"So what's the matter?"
"Didn't you receive good news from Nanhai Publishing Company? Your two books have sold more than one million copies!"
Zhang Chu really hasn't opened QQ since he woke up, he is now using Weibo and Weibo more often, and it is estimated that he missed the text message from the editor Gu Xinxue.
The two books have accumulated more than one million, which is indeed good news worth knowing!
"I really didn't pay much attention to these two books, how did they rise so fast. He remembered that "Psychological Crime" had only been released for less than a month, and he didn't come forward to promote it at all, except for the first day and the next day, after paying attention to sales, he was completely in a free-range state.
If it is true, wild lilies also have spring.
Of course, these million sales do not refer to physical books, but physical books + e-books. You don't want to think about how much exposure you have had in the past month, and if you change to a more popular genre, I'm afraid that the sales of your two books will rush towards two million copies!"
Zhang Chu was still a little happy in his heart, if it weren't for these two books, he might not have such a big momentum.
The right time, place and people are indispensable.
Zhou Kang on the other end of the phone continued: "In terms of sales, you are also a rare wonder. Of the 710,000 copies sold in Sherlock, more than 400,000 copies were made online. Of the 320,000 copies sold in Psychocrime: City Lights, 190,000 copies were purchased through e-books or online payments. ”
In fact, the popularity of e-books is not too wide now, and the physical book sales of most writers are more than electronic sales, which is fundamentally opposite to the current form of Zhang Chu.
Who made Zhang Chu's readers vast majority of them young people, who are more accustomed to supporting on mobile phones, computers, Kindle and other readers, and only some people will choose to buy physical book collections.
His popularity on the Internet is very high, and his influence will be greatly reduced after leaving the medium of the Internet.
In any case, the million-level sales are a real milestone, and it is a number that readers have piled up with real money one after another!
"How do I feel like I've become an influencer writer?"
Zhang Chu touched his chin, can he be regarded as making a great contribution to the environmental protection of the motherland, saving so much paper.
Zhou Kang on the other end of the phone almost wanted to vomit blood, isn't this an obvious thing, he didn't even know this bit of self-knowledge before!
