Chapter 791 - Eye-catching
"Norwegian Wood" is currently on sale, and it is a new book that has just been on the shelves for less than a month.
And now Zhang Chu's fans have begun to discuss the topic of the new book.
Originally, they didn't know what kind of crazy thoughts the imaginative Zhang Chu would come up with, anyway, the previous predictions were almost slapped in the face.
Now there is a sudden revelation that the new book will write about anti-corruption, and even went to prison for an interview, and the credibility is quite high!
The more unlikely the genre, the more likely it is to become Zhang Chu's new book.
Before "Farewell My Concubine" came out, who would have thought that he would be able to write Tanmei pure love.
Before the content of "Norwegian Wood" was announced, no one thought that Zhang Chu could write about youth love so poignantly and touchingly.
Since they have already written so many different types of works, it is normal to write about anti-corruption or officialdom again this time.
Anyway, it's right to guess the other way around!
"Seriously, do you think this is credible?"
"It should be true, otherwise the news would not have been so clear and accurate. ”
"It's amazing, I can let CCTV make a documentary. ”
"Since everyone at CCTV has said it, the credibility should be quite high!"
The discussion point of this group of fans quickly turned into what Zhang Chu would write if he wanted to write about anti-corruption.
Everyone happened to get together to talk nonsense, and this revelation gave them great enthusiasm for discussion!
Gu Xinxue, as Zhang Chu's editor, didn't know anything about Zhang Chu's new book at all.
If you hadn't been diving in the forum, you wouldn't have known what this nose and eye revelation was all about.
"Is it really fake? Zhang Chu wrote anti-corruption, why didn't I receive any rumors?" Gu Xinxue was full of doubts, but he felt that this should be Zhang Chu's style.
Now except before the book was issued, he has no communication with Zhang Chu at the rest of the time.
Zhang Chu usually only communicates with the people in his own company about the new book, and Nanhai Publishing Company can't influence Zhang Chu's choice at all.
"Old Gu, where did you say Zhang Chu got the courage to challenge the anti-corruption officialdom? Could it be that the recent success made him dizzy?"
"I don't think it's too difficult for him, people who can write history well, writing about officialdom and anti-corruption won't be too bad. What's more, CCTV and other relevant departments are willing to come forward to support, and it is not Zhang Chu's popularity that they fancy is by no means their popularity, but his works. ”
Gu Xinxue said that he was empty-hearted, could it be that Zhang Chu really came up with an eye-catching outline?
The colleague in the office pouted and said helplessly: "Anyway, there will definitely be no lack of exposure for his book with CCTV standing behind him, as for whether readers will buy it or not, it is estimated that it is very suspenseful." ”
The work full of the main theme is indeed not too friendly to fans.
"I'd better give a call and ask, if it's true, maybe we can win a government-sponsored award this year!"
The gains and losses depend on how to weigh them.
Zhou Kang was in the office to help Zhang Chu call back the olive branches thrown by those variety shows.
The popularity is getting higher and higher, but the appearances are getting less and less.
Now it happens to be close to the Spring Festival, and those variety shows have so-called New Year specials.
It is normal for Zhang Chu to be invited as a representative of young writers today.
It's just that Zhou Kang has to find all kinds of excuses to refuse, even if the CCTV Variety Channel and the Opera Channel want to find Zhang Chu to do the show.
Thanks to the promotion of Peking Opera elements in "Farewell My Concubine", many young people now regard this classic repertoire as a must-see element in Peking Opera!
Now theaters in various places and cities have welcomed many young audiences, among which the performances of "Farewell My Concubine" are almost full.
That's the impact of a film!
The real killer - the movie of the same name has not yet been released.
If it is released, it is estimated that there will be more people going to the theater to watch the theater.
Just as Zhou Kang was calling the producer of Shonan Satellite TV every day, another number on the mobile phone rang again.
He had to hang up Gu Xinxue's phone and explain it to Tian Tianshang first.
"What's it called, the phone can't even be busy. ”
Zhou Kang complained in his heart for a while, apologized to Xiangnan Satellite TV, and then called back to Gu Xinxue.
"Lao Zhou, it looks like your business is very busy!"
"No, no, it just happened to happen. It should be you who have been busy lately, busy distributing goods and promoting all day long. Any good news today?"
Gu Xinxue also played Tai Chi and replied: "Of course there is!" The physical book sales of "Norwegian Wood" have exceeded 2 million copies, and the e-book has also grown rapidly, and now it is firmly in the sales champion in January. ”
Although the sales of "Norwegian Wood" were not as explosive as those of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in the same period last year, there was no problem in suppressing those competitors.
Even if the other party forms an alliance, even if the means are frequent, it still can't help it!
Zhou Kang is also very satisfied with this achievement, "Not bad, it's worth celebrating a little." ”
"Or our whole celebration?"
"Well, it is estimated that Zhang Chu does not have time to attend the celebration. Your publisher can just send a message online to celebrate. ”
When Gu Xinxue heard this, he pretended to ask casually: "What is he busy with now?, are you ready to go home for the New Year?"
"I haven't been home yet, but it's almost there. Recently, this kid has a very strong temper, and he is stunned to write about anti-corruption, and he is very tormented. ”
Zhou Kang didn't think much about it, but told the actual situation, these are not things that need to be kept secret.
"Anti-corruption?"
Gu Xinxue chuckled in his heart, and suddenly understood that the revelations on the forum were true!
Zhang Chu really wants to write this genre!
"It's about anti-corruption, and it may involve officialdom, and now I'm afraid he won't be able to control it. Zhou Kang finally caught someone to talk to, and directly began to vomit bitterness.
"He is willing to write this, and he must have a certain certainty. Have you ever seen Zhang Chu do something he wasn't sure about?"
Gu Xinxue has been convinced by Zhang Chu anyway, no matter what this kid writes, he will succeed anyway.
There are indeed worries, but Zhang Chu will definitely not let himself and others down!
"I hope so, when the news of the new book is announced, it is estimated that it will attract verbal criticism. I shouldn't have brought CCTV and relevant agencies in, because the official background would be too obvious. I'm afraid that many netizens haven't read the book, so they will spray Zhang Chu and kneel and lick. ”
There are pros and cons to everything, and Zhang Chu has to bear the negative evaluation brought by these things when he enjoys the convenience of official promotion and preparation.
Many people see the official, regardless of whether the content is right or wrong, anyway, they spray it first and then talk about it.
Zhou Kang had already expected that there would definitely be people on the Internet scolding Zhang Chu for being attached to the situation or a dog's leg or something!
This is a name that everyone who writes for the official cannot escape, will Zhang Chu be the exception?
Anyway, Gu Xinxue was looking forward to Zhang Chu's new book, and he asked, "Does the new book have a name now?"
This is something that is closely related to Nanhai Publishing Company.
"You know, works with this kind of theme are more sensitive, so they need to be reviewed and approved by the relevant departments before they can be released to the public. We communicated with them, and they agreed to serialize it on the Internet first, and then review it together when the manuscript was completed. That way we save trouble, and so do them!"
Serialization is not of much benefit to Nanhai Publishing Company, but will expose the content of the work in advance.
Many people will not spend money on physical books after reading the serialized version.
No one wants to spend money unless it's a special favorite!
Gu Xinxue was slightly unhappy in his heart, and he didn't get any notice at all.
If I hadn't seen someone break the news on the forum, I'm afraid I would have to wait for Zhang Chu's new book to be released before I realized that there was a book.
Although Nanhai Publishing Company is powerless to shake the decision of Zhang Chu and Hanlin Culture Media Company, it is not a good feeling to be directly excluded.
It's a pity that he can't be angry at Zhou Kang, so he can only hide his emotions in his heart.
"By the way, what's the name of his new book?"
"It's called 'In the Name of the People'!"
Zhou Kang didn't know Gu Xinxue's psychological activities, he had been so busy recently that his feet didn't touch the ground, where did he have the spare time to take care of the Nanhai Publishing Company?
After all, in his opinion, "In the Name of the People" is to be serialized, and it will not be connected with Nanhai Publishing Company until the serialization ends.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xinxue's face was full of sadness.
This is different from the rest of the serialization, which basically starts to release physical books halfway or one-third of the way through the serialization.
However, "In the Name of the People" must wait for the end of the serialization and the approval of the relevant departments before the physical book can be issued.
At that time, the daylilies were cold!
……
Normally, there was at most a cat walking around in the house, but now there is a stranger.
Zhang Chu felt uncomfortable at the thought of having a camera shooting behind him!
Although Liu Wei has always emphasized that he doesn't need to care, he should treat it as invisible.
But that's easy to say.
"Do you know that the subject matter of your new book seems to have been exposed, and now the discussion on the Internet is very hot?" Liu Wei used the mode of conversation to guide Zhang Chu to speak.
The documentary is for Zhang Chu to talk about his psychology, instead of filming the scene of tapping the keyboard all the time.
If a documentary is full of Zhang Chu sitting in front of the computer and writing books silently, it is estimated that no one will be able to watch it in 60 minutes!
Zhang Chu stretched out his hands helplessly: "It's too difficult to keep it secret these days! ”
After that, he tapped his forehead with his finger.
Nowadays, the information leakage is very serious, not to mention that Zhang Chu and his party have no confidentiality at all, and there are too many channels to spread the news.
"Since those readers are speculating, what are you going to do about it?"
"What else can I do? Just admit it, I don't want to be a fool. Anyway, "In the Name of the People" will have to meet readers sooner or later, so it's better to tell them now. ”
Zhang Chu is so aggressive about these things that it is almost impossible for readers to understand the story from a book title or a subject matter!
"In the Name of the People" is also a work to be serialized, even if Zhang Chu has not thought about which platform to serialize it on now.
If it is placed on Weibo, the influence must be relatively large, but it is cheap and new!
If it is placed on other network sites, it has certain limitations, and not everyone has an account for that site.
In fact, every way has drawbacks, and not everyone has a Weibo account!
Previously, Zhou Kang suggested that he would put it on his official website and personal WeChat public account to enhance his personal brand.
This way can attract a lot of traffic.
Zhang Chu couldn't decide the specific way for a while, he had to look at the data given by the company's operation to see which platform had more advantages!
As a man of action, Zhang Chu will do what he says.
He now opens Weibo and writes in his personal center: "I heard that everyone is very concerned about my new book. Today, let's reveal a little bit of specifics, the new book is tentatively titled "In the Name of the People", and it will be serialized on the Internet in the near future. It's just that the platform hasn't been finalized yet, please pay close attention to my Weibo, and I'll tell you as soon as it's confirmed!]
The once active Internet celebrity is now gradually abandoned.
He is no longer the Internet addict boy he used to be!
Although Zhang Chu's update frequency has decreased a lot, this news can be about a new book, so the attention is very high.
More than 3 million readers were read in just a few minutes, and many readers were amazed!
Not everyone is paying attention to the dynamics of Zhang Chu's fandom at any time, although the revelations about Zhang Chu's new book are circulating on the Internet, because there is no real evidence, the scope of dissemination is limited.
Some users who only paid attention to Zhang Chu didn't realize that there was such a thing as a new book until now!
"In the name of the people? The title of the book sounds so good, as if the whistleblower post is real. ”
"The new book is coming so soon, but it's really not enjoyable to read if it's serialized. ”
"Wow! Zhang Chuda is really a model worker!"
"Can we see the beginning of the new book before the Chinese New Year?"
"It sounds like a good name for the main theme, I'm panicking now, Zhang Chuda, do you really want to control this theme?"
"666, support the new book!"
"No matter what type, Zhang Chuda will definitely not disappoint. ”
"Why are you so pessimistic? Personally, I think "In the Name of the People" will definitely not be too bad, and I look forward to Zhang Chu greatly bringing a different kind of anti-corruption. ”
"I feel out of touch with the world, how do you know that the new book is anti-corruption?"
*****************
Originally, the author was coding words, but suddenly received a background prompt, and a chapter was swallowed by the river crab beast!
Now Dianniang is getting more and more excessive, the original work of "In the Name of the People" can circulate in the market, and the adapted TV series can arouse heated discussions among the people, but I can't mention it in the article.
It's a magical world!
I have a grudge against me in August, and the last book "Literary Star" seems to have been swallowed up whole in August, and it wasn't unraveled until three months later.
To be precise, these two river crabs happened on August 24th!
Silently praying, the river crab beast quickly retreated from my side......
