In the past two days, Zhang Chu's life has been very fulfilling, and he has returned to a tense and busy state.

Although the final exam is approaching, he usually hardly asks for leave, and he listens carefully and takes notes in class, so he is not too flustered.

At this time in his last life, he had probably just started the final preparation work, and it was difficult to pass the exam even if the teacher marked the key points, but in this life, the savior system helped him improve his various abilities in an all-round way, and he didn't need to cheat to get good grades at all!

The brain is a lot smarter, which saves a lot of time to read, write and sign books.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is updated in an orderly manner, the story is getting better, there are few characters in it, and the main space is used to tell about the treacherous terrain and various strange and weird traps on the side of the tomb of King Xian.

Even if it is a tomb robbery, you have to learn professional knowledge, if the knowledge is not strong, how can it be possible to find the tomb of the king in the gold point?

The 16-character Yin Yang Feng Shui secret technique also needs to be mastered flexibly, and it is necessary to have a deep knowledge of Feng Shui.

Thousands of non-decomposing, pale female corpses floated in front of me, this scene is enough to frighten just by looking at the text, and if you substitute that scene, it is estimated that readers will be frightened to the point that they have no master!

Two chapters a day didn't quench their thirst, especially for the radio listeners, who stayed in front of the radio until midnight every day, only to be done in a few minutes, and the protests were growing louder.

Not everyone is chasing books on the Internet, and many people think that the story of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has already been written, but the radio station does not finish it every time.

Rongcheng, an elderly man wearing reading glasses stared intently at the characters on the keyboard, stretched out his fingers tremblingly and pressed them, and the glasses kept being lifted up and slid down on the bridge of his nose, which looked very laborious.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?" a boy wearing the uniform of Rongcheng No. 4 Middle School stood at the door of the study with a schoolbag on his back, curiously watching the old man's movements.

"Peng Peng, you came back just right. Hurry up and write a complaint letter for me, I want to complain about the radio station, a good story is not told in one breath, I have to squeeze a little bit every day. ”

Song Pengfei put his schoolbag directly on the wooden floor, walked to the computer, and asked, "What kind of story? Haven't you been reading Li Boqing's commentary recently?"

"When people are old and can't sleep at night, they listen to stories on the radio. You live in better conditions now, and you don't know that radios used to be a rare thing, and few families in the whole village could afford to buy them. ”

Song Aihua babbled so much about it, but got up and gave up his place to his grandson and asked him to help.

"Yo, grandpa, you're still keeping up with the trend, you're actually listening to the ghost blowing the lamp!" Song Pengfei looked at the lines on the screen and laughed, and he didn't know how much time it took the old man to type out those words.

"What are you talking about, do you know this book? Is there this story on the Internet, you can help me find it, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't finish listening to it. ”

A mouthful of Rongcheng dialect came out directly, the old man is still quite fashionable, and he knows that many things can be found on the Internet in full version, but unfortunately he can't operate it.

Song Pengfei shook his head: "No, this book is still being written now, and I will send a little bit every day." There are also many students in our class reading this book, and it is very well written, which is a little scary!"

"Did you see it?"

"No, I listened to them. ”

Song Aihua obviously didn't believe it, "I just said don't bring a mobile phone to the little baby, if you don't go to class and listen to lectures for a day, you still have to go to see these!"

was accidentally pitted, Song Pengfei suddenly regretted it, why did he have to explain so much!

He quickly put down the mouse and lifted the schoolbag at the door of the study, "I'm going to do my homework, grandpa, you can play it yourself." ”

At this time, Song Aihua didn't continue to write a complaint letter, but laughed hehehe, he actually had a common hobby with his grandson, and it was rare to like the same thing, so he planned to understand this story clearly, so that he could have something to talk about.

……

"The Lord of the Rings" is probably Zhang Chu's most aggrieved work, and the grievances here are not about the content, but about the results.

The second part was released together with the third part, and the film rights were sold to Hollywood companies, so it stands to reason that it should be infinitely beautiful!

But in fact, it was suppressed by two other old books one after another.

Not long after the release of the new book, "Farewell My Concubine" was released, and the explosive word-of-mouth and box office are very rare, and the number of moviegoers has reached a terrifying 28 million.

"The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" was the champion for almost ten days, and was snatched away by "Farewell My Concubine"!

The movie is one aspect, and another reason is that the fantasy of "The Lord of the Rings" with a purely Western background is not very popular, if the author is changed, I am afraid that the championship of these ten days may not be able to win.

In the last life, there were movies that entered the classics of film history for free promotion, but there are still not many people who have watched "The Lord of the Rings", this is because the content is a little unsuitable.

Now Zhang Chu has made a lot of changes, but the core has not changed.

Therefore, it will be surpassing it by an emotional work of a literary nature, and it will probably only be fundamentally changed when the Lord of the Rings movie is released!

There is a saying that the east is not bright and the west is bright, and "The Lord of the Rings" is just a carnival of Zhang Chu's readers in China, but it has gradually gone out of the circle abroad, and its influence is gradually expanding.

The UK has been the sales champion for three consecutive weeks, and instead of decreasing, sales are gradually increasing along with word of mouth, and many expressions, idioms and even legends in it have made British readers find a sense of familiarity.

Similarly, they also have a different kind of affection for Zhang Chu, and seem to think that it was on the British side that Zhang Chu gradually became famous!

If the BBC hadn't bought the rights to the TV series "Sherlock", Zhang Chu would not have become a household name in the UK.

Although the empire on which the sun never sets has been in decline for a long time, there is still a pride in their bones that stupid Americans simply cannot appreciate this kind of work.

The Guardian, a well-known British newspaper, wrote a book review titled "Why We Love the Lord of the Rings So Much" to praise this work!

[People like it, not only because of its weird style, but also because it portrays distinct characters, such as the courage of the dwarves, the calmness of the elves, the wit of humans, and the ferocity of demons, and these special features are all extensions of human nature.

At the same time, it has an enduring charm, explaining the ugliness of human nature with a supernatural gaze, but also praising friendship and courage. Now readers in the British Isles are crazy about it, crazy about this real Middle-earth!

We all love books, where the formula of good triumphing over evil is outdated, but it still makes us feel warm and hopeful. You could argue that there are countless book works that depict this, of course not. However, "The Lord of the Rings" is one of the few stories where we can see the struggles and sacrifices that good people need to make in order to eradicate evil and bring peace to the world.

It doesn't look like a film, but like a real piece of history!

Zhang Chu uses three books to show us that people are not born heroes, they have to do the right thing through their fears.

Frodo Baggins, who wasn't the bravest hobbit in Middle-earth, put a lot of effort into overcoming his fears, and in the end he did!]

A few days ago, the Times itself was sensationalized and published the news that "The Lord of the Rings" was suspected of racism against orcs.

Now the rest of the media is going against it, taking the opportunity to ridicule it, after all, there are not many opportunities to step on the big newspapers.

The Daily Telegraph is the largest and most authoritative national newspaper in Britain, and it is known as the three major newspapers in Britain along with The Guardian and The Times.

If Random House was PR, it would not be possible to publish so many pages!

[The Lord of the Rings presents an unprecedented world that is completely detached from reality and even has its own language system.] Derived from Christianity and inspired by Norse mythology, it explores life and death, light and darkness, and the survival and destruction of human beings.

This is not the first time that Zhang Chu has shown his understanding of various religions in his book works, "The Lord of the Rings" embodies human fantasies and uses mythological thinking to explain the real world, which is completely a modern myth!

Except for the half-orc discrimination incident that was tossed out by Universal Pictures, "The Lord of the Rings" is almost all praised.

Kansas City Star: The Lord of the Rings is the ultimate adventure, the ultimate showdown between good and evil, and the ultimate chronicle. It may have an endless number of imitators in the future, but it will never be surpassed!

Los Angeles Times: This is a moving story of survival and courage, swearing to the death against the darkness for the sake of a bright future for humanity.

Sydney Morning Herald: Never before has an author created such a detailed fantasy world and fictional history. After reading Zhang Chu's three "The Lord of the Rings", you will know the landscape, flora and fauna, language, history, and cultural temperament of various races in the Central Continent described by him, as if you are familiar with your own garden!

Boston Globe: Zhang Chu's imagination is very terrifying, and he has created different regions in this series of works, and any race is real and believable. It's hard to imagine such a work being made into a movie, but hopefully Universal Pictures doesn't mess up this time!

Justin Perry, an eighteenth-tier writer in the United States, wrote exaggeratedly on Twitter: When I got Zhang Chu's three books, my God, I was desperate! No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach his achievements, and I couldn't even connect closely! He is not a master in the future, he is already a master now!

Not only are book reviewers and scholars very fond of this series, but ordinary readers are also very fond of this series and can't put it down!

There are not many good fantasy originals, and even fewer are as refreshing as Zhang Chu, who actually sent out a set of books in one go in half a year.

In the past, when I encountered this situation, I had to read a volume many times over and over again, and repeatedly urged on social networking sites before I could expect follow-up content.

Amazon's "Lord of the Rings" physical book sales page has received more than 30,000 reviews, with a perfect score of 5 stars and now 4.7 stars, which is quite good.

"Very satisfied, I like it very much!"

"It was so wonderfully written, I was completely hooked!"

"It's perfect, this work is flawless from head to toe!"

"Filled with imagination, I used a pencil to draw their route on the map while reading the book, and now I can tell exactly what happened in any one location. ”

"The three books are very long to read, but the story is very smooth, and if you accidentally read it directly, it is a journey full of thorns!"

"I'm curious, what is the specific content of the book that Bilbo and Frodo wrote in it, is that what we see now?"

Readers not only read it themselves, but also keep putting this work out of Amway, just like they usually see a good movie or TV series, and they can't wait for their friends to see it.

The higher the word-of-mouth, the greater the pressure on Universal!

In fact, the reader's idea is very simple, that is, to make the movie faithful to the original.

This may seem like a reasonable requirement, but it is extremely difficult to implement.

A Hollywood movie has tens of millions of viewers at every turn, and the readership is far less than that large, so many works will modify the content to make it easier for ordinary audiences to understand the story, rather than for the likes of fans of the original work.

Readers often scold the producers for changing the content beyond recognition!

Could it be that the producers are all fools, and they don't know that they have changed a lot?

No, they all know.

It's just that the latter is chosen between the readers of the original book and the general audience.

Now that "The Lord of the Rings" is becoming more popular, it is originally a good thing for IP, the more well-known, the more potential audiences, and the more publicity costs.

But in this way, we must pay attention to the fans of these original works, and we must give them a qualified answer sheet.

There are so many concerns that even a large factory can't just sit down and decide!

Universal Pictures' current task is progressing relatively slowly, and it is directly stuck in the selection of directors.

If such a big project is handed over to a rookie director, it will definitely not be at ease, but which of those famous directors doesn't have a bunch of projects waiting for them?

Hollywood directors cherish feathers very much, and it doesn't matter if they make bad movies, but if you lose money on three films in one go, it is estimated that from now on, you will have no chance with big productions at all!

The big director is reluctant to take over, and he can't look down on the small director, the "Lord of the Rings" movie project is like a hot potato, and it has become the most popular cake in Hollywood recently.

The flatbread looks good, but not everyone has the appetite to eat it!

Chris is very worried now, and can only ask from familiar and previously worked with directors one by one to see if anyone can take over.
