Chapter 724: No Suspense [Three More Requests for Subscription]
On Monday, the first snow melted in Yanjing.
Zhang Chu is no longer the southern countryman who has just arrived in the north, he packed up his stationery, admission ticket, and student ID card, and brought the materials required for the two subjects to be examined.
Yesterday's trial reading session was finally over, and the feedback from those readers was also very interesting, so he went home in the evening and kept reading what the more than 1,000 readers had given him, completely forgetting that there was an exam today!
Fortunately, the first course in the morning is an open-book exam, so as long as you are well prepared, it should not be a difficult task.
However, it is impossible to directly turn the answers in the textbook for the open-book exam, which are some relatively open-ended questions, and there can be no ready-made answers in the textbook and learning materials, only through independent analysis and comprehensive knowledge to answer the questions.
Therefore, every student in the examination room is holding a thick stack of printed materials and preparing all the content they can think of in advance.
There were thirty people in an examination room, and several people in Zhang Chu's bedroom sat down in a vertical row.
At this time, they did not hold on to each other, but gathered together to chat.
"Yesterday I was really scared by your readers. I know your book is selling well, but I've never seen so many people in person!"
Anmi patted his chest, still a little frightened.
Zhang Chu glanced at him with disdain, "What kind of people are this." ”
"Are you compared to those kings and queens who hold concerts? I always thought that people who read books were relatively calm, but I didn't expect that there were also stars so crazy. Great god, Zhang Chuda, take me to pretend to be forced to fly with me!"
"Then I'll give you this chance. There's an event tonight, and the invitation letter from the organizer to me is to bring a companion in, do you want to go, teenager?"
Zhang Chu turned on the flickering mode, obviously the invitation said that it was a female companion, but he didn't have a girlfriend, so it was the same to find a good friend to go with.
Anmi shook his head firmly, and said disdainfully: "That place is too high-end, it's a little scary for me to eat and drink." You'd better go by yourself!"
He knew that tonight was the time for the annual writers' meeting held by the General Administration of the News Release, and all the leaders and writers present were there, and he, a poor student who was nothing, would definitely shrink back when he entered, so why should he suffer from it?
Zhang Chu wanted to find someone to talk to, so he flickered hard: "There are so many writers together, if you like it, you can bring the book to him for autographs, or if you have any questions, you can also ask them face-to-face." If you miss such a great opportunity, I don't know when the next one will be. ”
"Don't tempt me, you go and suffer yourself, good luck and come back with two more prizes. "Anmi is unmoved, and the dead friends are not dead and poor.
"Okay, it's a brother, but you don't help when you see that your buddy is going to go over there and suffer. ”
"Since we're brothers, why are you dragging me down?"
Zhang Chu smiled cheekily, "It's a problem!"
The classmates next to him couldn't help but laugh when they watched the two of them play tricks, and a boy with glasses who was sorting out the information raised his head, "Zhang Chu, you should win a lot of awards at the writers' annual meeting this year, right?"
"Who knows before it is announced. ”
"It's a no-brainer. The data is clearly in front of you, and if you don't give this award, then the rankings are completely meaningless. ”
This year's annual meeting of writers is a little earlier than usual, but it seems to many that the awards have largely been confirmed.
First of all, the most popular writer of the year, Zhang Chu, who won the first and second places in the annual sales of the year, is almost impossible to be overturned in this award.
However, the most popular works are a bit tangled, and almost every book has a chance of winning!
Who made Zhang Chu write so many books in the past year, many of which are of top-notch quality and have many fans.
But because of the large number of readers, each of them has different favorite works.
There are those who like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", those who like "The Legend of Wukong", those who like "Sou Shen Ji", and those who like "The Da Vinci Code" and "Farewell My Concubine".
Therefore, the phenomenon of splitting votes is very serious!
Even if Zhang Chu is confident, he feels that under such circumstances, almost one-fifth or sixths of readers may be overturned compared with others.
Even if 5 million people vote, there may be only 1 million votes for each book, but only 1.2 million people vote, and all the votes are concentrated in one book!
Last year, Zhang Chu won the Best Newcomer Award at the annual meeting, and his "City Lights of Psychological Crime" also won the Most Popular Award for suspense works, which can be described as a bumper harvest.
This year's "Da Vinci Code" almost booked this award, originally this was a niche classification, but suddenly a big cow appeared, and the competition was leveraged!
Maybe his "Fifteen Years of Wanli" can compete for the most popular award in the history category, after all, the book has a good reputation and sales, and it has successfully gone overseas, becoming a window for foreigners to understand the history of the Ming Dynasty in China.
Zhang Chu was a little happy when he thought of this, and at the same time a little worried.
Prepare at least three acceptance speeches, which are no less than taking an open-book exam!
And as an award-winning favorite, there will definitely be countless cameras aimed at him at that time, and playing with his mobile phone or something will be filmed.
If you yawn or the rest of your actions are easy to be tempted to say that you are disrespecting your seniors or the organizing committee, these are the price of fame.
What's more, there is a highlight to be announced tonight, and the annual Writers Rich List will kick off.
Every time this rich list is announced, various stations, magazines, and publishing houses will usher in a peak of submissions, and many people will be attracted by the numbers at the top of the pyramid, thinking that writing books is really so easy to get rich.
With the sales of so many of Zhang Chu's works, he knows that he is afraid that he will reach the top in the second year of writing!
The only suspense is, how much does he really earn?
Will it break the previous record?
After all, there were few statistics on foreign income on the previous rich list, because at that time, everyone's works could hardly be sold overseas.
Zhang Chu is quite different from them, his works are very popular abroad, and even the overseas sales of "The Da Vinci Code" are more than twice the sales in his own country!
If you calculate foreign income, Zhang Chu will definitely take advantage, because the exchange rate is a very favorable weapon.
It also sells for 20 yuan, but one is the US dollar and the other is the RMB, obviously the US dollar is more valuable, and there are also pounds and euros.
Everyone knew that Zhang Chu had a lot of income, but there was no more accurate concept.
But after tonight, his income will be announced, and he will become the target of public criticism!
