Chapter 120: The article is natural
The hustle and bustle continued to come into Zhang Chu's ears, which was completely different from the signing of "Detective Sherlock" in Jiangcheng Book Building.
At that time, he already knew that the book sales were very good, and with the bonus of being a local author, a few media would not embarrass him, and at the same time, there were relatives, friends, classmates and neighbors to support him.
At this time, in the Yanjing International Exhibition Center, there are definitely not many people who can really be regarded as his fans, after all, when "Psychological Crime" was serialized on the Internet, only a few thousand people spent money to subscribe.
So thousands of people are scattered all over the country, how many can there be in Yanjing?
Even if there are dozens of people, it is impossible for them all to come to the launch event.
With so many reporters present, wouldn't it be embarrassing if there were no passers-by and readers to buy them?
"Rest assured, now those visitors who are watching the excitement are queuing up outside the door, and since they are willing to spend time in line, they must also be willing to spend money. ”
"Psychological Crime" has not yet been officially released nationwide, but major bookstores have already confirmed that it will be available this afternoon, and several giants of the e-book channel have also unified their shelves.
Since it is a sale meeting, readers can enjoy the treatment of being one step ahead, and they can directly take the book to pay, but they can't get Zhang Chu's signature.
This type of TV series has good ratings and a strong reputation for movies, but the audience for novels is not large, which is actually quite strange.
Now no one can say for sure how much "Psychological Crime" will sell, anyway, after an internal review at the publishing company, everyone is surprised by the ending, the whole plot has ups and downs, and at the same time the topic is very topical.
As a result, the Nanhai Publishing Company is ready to be reprinted to avoid the situation of selling out of stock.
In some places, the shipment volume is not large, but the sales are very strong, and the reason for this is that the number of first prints is too small.
100,000 copies is already the first printing standard for senior writers, and the first printing of many newcomers' works is 30,000 or 50,000 copies.
……
"Hi everyone, thank you all for taking the time out of the weekend to attend the launch of my new book, Psychological Crime. In fact, I know that it will definitely be uncomfortable to work overtime on weekends, so let's try to keep everything simple, finish these processes as soon as possible, and let everyone go back to rest, how about it?"
Standing on a small stage joking with reporters, Zhang Chu shrugged his shoulders: "Actually, I'm the same, I don't know what kind of work I like, the only thing I can believe is that in fact, we don't like work." ”
The reporters laughed very face-savingly, if it weren't for food, who would like to work!
"Whether you are tired from work or not, imagine whether hot pot is expensive or not, whether overtime is bitter or not, think about mutton and hairy belly. Let's just hold on for another half hour, let's make a long story short. ”
Everyone at the scene couldn't help but laugh at Zhang Chu's words, this kid is obviously writing suspense and reasoning novels, how can he be able to speak, just like talking stand-up comedy, you can go to the Tucao Conference!
Those visitors who watched the excitement didn't expect that the young man on the stage was actually a writer, and he spoke quite funny, so they became more and more curious about "Psychological Crime", isn't this a funny suspense novel?
The host doesn't know what to do on the side, and he should do what he should do to enliven the atmosphere, what should he do if his job is robbed?
"Working overtime is something that no one wants. Teacher Zhang's words are very humorous, and we can only endure it for the sake of hot pot. Anyway, this "Psychological Crime" is Xiao Zhang's second work, do you have any secrets in creation?"
Facing the question thrown by the host, Zhang Chu smiled and said: "There is no secret, these things seem to appear directly in my mind, I just need to type it out." ”
After the host scolded God MMP again in his heart, he forced a smile and agreed, "The article is natural, and the magic hand is successful." Teacher Xiao Zhang is the same as Mr. Lu You, we ordinary people don't understand this realm. ”
"Yes, the average person really doesn't know. ”
The visitors at the scene were about to go crazy laughing, and when others praised them, shouldn't they be modest?
The few reporters who know Zhang Chu's character also smile, this guy can always bring laughter to people.
The host felt that he had to resist the urge to drop the microphone and leave the scene, so he abruptly diverted the topic: "What kind of story does this "Psychological Crime" tell?
Since it is talking about the content of the novel, Zhang Chu is much more serious, and he said seriously: "This is actually the story of a policeman Fang Mu arresting a high-IQ perverted murderer. ”
Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for his next step, why did this kid put the microphone down?
What about the back?
Is it that concise?
"Well, Mr. Zhang, can you tell us more about how Officer Fang Mu arrested the criminal, and how did this murderer use his high IQ to commit crimes?"
"Specifically, then please read the novel, I won't spoil it for the time being, so that you don't have to complain about me at that time. ”
Originally, there was another link to ask Zhang Chu to read a fragment of "Psychological Crime", but it had to be canceled, which seemed a little silly, and it was not a poetry recitation.
After these things were completed, he finally came to the interview session, Zhang Chu also walked from the stage to the interview area, at this time he placed a lot of microphones with station logos in front of him, including CCTV, Jiangdong Satellite TV, Sudong Satellite TV, Xiangnan Satellite TV, and also Phoenix.com, Tencent Video, iQiyi, Sina.com labels.
Cameras and tape recorders have come over, and the world-famous case is finally about to reveal the true face of Lushan, and all the reporters are a little excited.
Zhang Chu cautiously turned away a microphone that was too close, "I know that everyone is more concerned about the matter in the United States. In fact, they have reported about it, "Sherlock" is a fanwork created according to the requirements of the "Sherlock Holmes" movie essay, and later published in the Mystery Magazine, which was favored by Nanhai Publishing Company and invited me to create follow-up content and publish it. By the way, I'm here to urge Warner Bros. a little, your movies are out of theaters, when will my essay prize be paid?"
Collecting debts in front of so many reporters, Zhang Chu felt like a migrant worker who couldn't get money during the Chinese New Year, it was too miserable!
"Then why did you think of suing the Heritage Foundation?" a reporter couldn't stand his digression, and hurriedly asked, trying to get back on track.
Zhang Chu spread out his hand and said, "At first, I didn't know that there was that foundation, after all, in the laws of many countries, the character of Sherlock Holmes and this story can already be used casually. But after my book was published, the publishing company received a lawyer's letter asking me to pay $5,000 for the use of the book. But this is China, so why can U.S. laws govern China?"
"What's more, after a brief understanding of it, I found out that it is not legal. In view of the other party's behavior on Twitter, I searched to see if the rest of the people had similar experiences, and it turned out that many fans were indeed complaining about the Foundation's domineering, so I wanted to try. ”
