Standing in front of the mirror in a daze, there is no need to comb his hair into an adult, nor do he need to clumsily tie the knot of the red tie, Zhang Chu only needs to put on a handsome suit.

Young people don't need to pretend to be mature too much, otherwise they will look stupid and wear clothes of any age.

If you don't count the last "Good Chinese Literature" award ceremony, the current writers' annual meeting is the first time he has sat down with these top writers to communicate.

At that time, they are all older people, and it should be embarrassing if there is no topic to talk about.

So Zhang Chu checked the battery level of the mobile phone again, 100%, very good!

Many writers from other places will stay in the hotel designated by the organizing committee, and then they will be sent to the site of last year's meeting.

The local writers in Yanjing basically drove by themselves, but considering that they might drink at the annual meeting, many people took a taxi directly or asked someone else to send it.

Zhang Chu knew that his identity was different now, and if he took a Didi Express, it would definitely not be good, so he was extravagant and chose the Didi car, which was several times more expensive!

……

"Today is the annual meeting of writers! I don't know which writers will attend. ”

Tao Yunfei sat in front of the computer and said with great interest that this kind of gathering of top writers is quite rare, especially many writers who have been "hibernating" for a long time will "come out of the hole" on this day.

He is not very interested in gossip news in the entertainment industry, but he must be there under the news of this kind of writers' event.

This annual meeting does not pay attention to the depth of the work, everything only depends on sales, and sales speak with all kinds of data!

As we all know, the best-selling works are the ones that attract netizens the most, after all, things that are too profound can only be niche.

Tao Yunfei bought a lot of books this year, but he was no longer interested in those old faces, and wanted to see new faces appear.

Since the organizers are the China Writers Association and the General Administration of Press and Publication, they disdain to broadcast live on Weibo or other channels, and can only transmit information to the outside world through pictures or videos sent by reporters on the spot.

This kind of grand event in the publishing industry is of course indispensable to media reporters, and even if the organizer does not send news, the whole network will be filled with relevant information.

The most popular writers and works every year are widely speculated, and there is another suspense this year, that is, whether Zhang Chu can win the Best Newcomer Award!

New writers emerge in an endless stream every year, and there is never a shortage of phenomenal writers, but no one can touch people's hearts as much as Zhang Chu.

When he published "Sherlock", more people bought it because of the gimmick of publishing a book for the top student in the college entrance examination.

As a result, after a few months, this product was serialized on Weibo again, and BBC TV bought the copyright, and new ones will be released almost every month or two!

Some will make people laugh and lean back but think deeply, some will make the reader feel creepy while being happy for the protagonist, and some can make tens of thousands of people scared and lose sleep in the middle of the night.

There is almost no repetition of the genre of the work, and the subject matter has also changed, which makes people see his super plasticity and restlessness.

Tao Yunfei's takeaway has been delivered, and while he is eating Northeast dumplings, he is refreshing Weibo, waiting to see some tidbits on the scene.

At this time, there has been quite a lot of discussion on the Internet, and gossip and speculation have taken off.

"I think this year's most popular work is "Coming Home", it's so tear-jerking!"

"The new books are getting worse and worse now, and those works from last year are quite a few places on this year's annual sales list. The competitiveness of the new book is too poor, and the crown of the year turned out to be the work "The Best World" released last year. ”

"Yes, the top 10 of this year's Amazon list highly overlaps with last year, and those books are too good to sell, and this year's natural year's sales crown "The Rainbow Chaser" only ranked third. ”

Zhang Chu actually has four books on the list, although the rankings are a bit low. He's the writer with the most works on this year's list, and he's amazing!"

"The "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" on New Year's Day has almost booked a place on next year's list, right? Anyway, I have already placed an order online, and now I see that the express delivery has been sent, and it is estimated that it will be received around New Year's Day. ”

Although 2018 is still two days away, this will not affect the ranking of each book, and the sales of classics and word-of-mouth works are now extremely strong.

Many years ago, all of the works published in the top 10 of the annual sales list, and there are many works by overseas writers, but there are not many real local writers who stand out and win the top 10 seats!

Although there are different lists for paper books and e-books, the works that are the first on the overall list are also the first in these two sub-lists.

Zhang Chu's work still ranks highest, "Sherlock", which ranks 79th with 1.71 million copies sold, and the sales momentum has slowed down considerably.

It is estimated that the next time I wait for the sales list, it will be when the BBC broadcasts the TV series of the same name!

The second is "Life of Pi", a work that was only released in October, because of its wonderful content, unparalleled reputation, and Zhang Chu's own influence, it has sold 1.64 million copies in less than two months.

It still sells tens of thousands of copies a week, and this may be his first work to sell more than two million copies.

The other two works are "Psychological Crime" and "Journey to the West Diary", which are ranked 95 and 98 respectively.

If there are a few more old books that sell well, maybe they won't make it to the annual list!

"The Best of the World", which ranked first in September last year, won the championship on the annual list this year, which is simply a bug in the book sales industry, selling 6.15 million copies this year, counting the 2.66 million copies sold last year, almost 9 million copies.

This type of work with a warm and healing feeling occupies a large area on the list.

In this highly competitive society, young people prefer an easy and fast way to read. These positive healing works are the best choice in terms of reading speed and reading experience!

One after another red carpet photos of writers were posted on the Internet by the media, and fans of writers from all walks of life also spoke under the photos of their idols.

Maybe I'm used to seeing the red carpet photos of handsome men and women in the entertainment industry, and now the photos of writers look a little crooked, there are many handsome, handsome, and temperamental writers, but there are also many raunchy people.

When Zhang Chu's photo was uploaded to the Internet, his female fans and even the majority of female netizens were excited!

You can eat with your face, why do you have to rely on your talent?

Usually the photos look just handsome and handsome, but now I put on a casual suit and stood on the red carpet, looking more tender and handsome than those serious little fresh meat!

"I guess it's the best-looking writer in history. ”

"If Zhang Chu can't sell it in the future, he can consider entering the entertainment industry. ”

"The writer who eats with his face suggested that Zhang Chu publish a photo album or something to cheat money, and I might buy it. ”

"Such a handsome little brother, he must be powdered. ”

"I declare that this is my new husband, don't rob any of you!"

"People rely on clothes, Zhang Chu will be cruel to others when he takes photos with other writers later......"
