Chapter 172: Famous in the Literary World (Asking for Votes and Subscribing)
Now every time Life Pi adds a paying reader, it's a new step!
No one knows where this record will stay, whether it will be 100,000 or 200,000?
It is precisely because so many people read, so many people discuss, and so many people share with their friends, classmates, and colleagues that there are brilliant achievements of Youth School.
Putting aside the rest, Zhang Chu suddenly found that he seemed to have earned 300,000 yuan this day, and he only needed to pay taxes, and he didn't need to share it with others!
Obviously, it's only been more than a day.,All kinds of interpretations and analysis posts in the comment area have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.,The following readers either agree or disagree,The post refresh speed is quite fast。
Almost every reader who reads it will come to the comment area to take a look and see if anyone thinks the same as themselves.
The joy of reversal, the sudden realization of the previous text after reading the text, and the blank writing style of traditional ink painting all make the reader happy.
In fact, it is to tell the incident from a very objective perspective, there can be any possibility, Zhang Chu did not magnify or ignore it at one point.
The reader's understanding is actually a very subjective thing, and their opinion and understanding of this book actually comes from themselves.
Some readers said that they were in tears, and some readers said that they were indifferent and couldn't feel anything, all of which were related to their own character and knowledge.
The question now before Zhang Chu is whether such a successful commercialization of the Youth School will become a shortcoming in the eyes of the judges.
Some people may ask why it is a disadvantage to sell well and see more people.
In fact, the reason is very simple, some of the judges in order to show their taste, feel that after being linked to silver, it will change taste!
In the eyes of many people, the word literati can probably only be associated with poverty forever, as if it can better show the character.
"Life of Pi" is neither a work under mainstream values and aesthetic standards, nor is it a work with a critical color, and it has a disadvantage in such a literary award competition.
……
If you convert these 60,000 people who paid to read into e-book sales, it is actually not much.
When many top authors release new books, it is common for them to sell hundreds of thousands of e-books on the first day, and Zhang Chu is still a long way from the top.
However, because this position is somewhat special, many people in the literary world know this young man who has created a miracle in the essay contest.
The status of the Chinese Writers Network is extraordinary, even if its traffic does not enter the stream, but because it is the façade of the Writers' Association, no one in the Chinese literary world dares to despise its existence!
"Have you heard that this year's Chinese good literature essay is amazing?" Qian Linghao broke the silence in the group, he had just heard some gossip from the rest of his friends, and quickly came here to share it.
"Small building in the forest", which looks a little elegant, is not simple, and the more than 40 people in it are almost all well-known figures in the Chinese language world, and they can't be added without more than three people jointly recommending it.
Soon another female writer, Wan Juan, bubbled up and replied: "I also heard about it, but I don't have time to take a look." It is said that he broke Xiao Mo's horror record the year before last, I don't know if he brushed it. ”
"It shouldn't be brushed, my master is the judge of this essay competition, but it's from the drama group. According to him, at the beginning, a group of old guys got together and stayed up late to watch "Youth Pi", and they also called Zhang Chu in the middle of the night to ask about the ending. Qi Gaoxuan came out and denied their idea, and revealed a little bit of the inside story.
Of course, Qian Linghao knows how deserted the writers' network usually is, and almost none of them come out through essays, so it is inevitable that they look down on essays.
"Doesn't that mean that this book is a sure winner? Who of you has read it?" he typed in surprise.
Feng Ning sent a screenshot, it turned out that he was staying in the comment area of "Youth Pi" at this time, and the writer in his forties was also posting a plot analysis post with a vest.
His post analyzes the symbolism of several animals in it, and many readers have already praised it.
"This book is really interesting, and I recommend everyone to read it. Feng Ning was very direct, he was just curious about what kind of book could be read by so many people at first, but he also fell into the pit.
The rest of the people saw that a few of them were discussing hotly, so they also bubbled up. It's just that some people are not sensitive to the news, and they still don't understand what is going on.
Bu Wenyuan, who had been traveling outside, asked, "Which book are you discussing? I haven't been online for a few days, how do I feel that I can't keep up with the trend of the times?"
"We are talking about a work in this year's Chinese Good Literature Essay Competition, and the number of people who pay has broken the record high, and the key is that it is only a little more than a day now. ”
"Who wrote it, it's so powerful. It can't be that someone has nothing to do and runs to participate in that competition, and there is no prize money. ”
Feng Ning shook his head, "Brother Bu, I'm afraid you're mistaken." The person who wrote this book is called Zhang Chu, and he is the young man who went to the United States to fight a lawsuit. People don't just write fandom, they also write this type of work. ”
"Is it really that pretty? I happened to be flying back in more than ten hours, so why don't you read this book? ”
Another active member of the group also joined the discussion, "I've only seen about 50% of it, and I don't think the quality is very good, but it's just a little interesting to discuss religion and science." This kid doesn't seem to be twenty years old, how can he write about Indian culture so realistically!"
"Zhang Chu, isn't this the top student in our Jiangdong Province's college entrance examination!" Bu Wenyuan said in surprise, "It seems that we have to take a look, maybe this kid will be the backbone of literature and art in our province in the future." ”
Usually writers chat with each other about family life, comment on current affairs, and at the same time, some meat jokes appear, which are quite down-to-earth.
If the writer is high above and does not eat the fireworks of the world like an immortal, then what he writes will probably be very empty.
Writers need life, and even more colorful life to use as material and accumulation!
It's not just this group of people talking about Zhang Chu and his works, the entire Chinese literary world seems to be talking about this young man who suddenly popped up, and the ending of the book "Life of Pi".
Although everyone knew that there was this person before, they didn't regard him as a member of the literary world at all, and he was an outsider.
Even though he has written two books, traditional literature does not include Zhang Chu in the ranks of young writers, and his treatment is slightly better than that of online writers.
Today's "Life of Pi" has successfully allowed him to break into the inner circle of the literary world and truly become one of the writers!
