Chapter 657: A Cottage That Can't Escape
The worries of netizens were seen by Zhang Chu, no matter from what angle he looked at, he didn't want the protagonist of "The Da Vinci Code" to be changed to white or Chinese by Hollywood businessmen.
Originally, the earth was indeed like that, but now that it has been changed by itself, why go back to the way it was?
It's just that he didn't know which actor to find for a while, but since Yang Xuan's setting was middle-aged, he naturally avoided those little fresh meats.
Not to mention anything else, there are many acting schools among the elderly actors in China, and the specific choice depends on the meaning of the Hollywood company.
It has been nearly three weeks since the beginning of the National Day, and Zhang Chu has completely regarded himself as an ordinary student, taking classes when he should be in class, and entertaining when he should be entertained, as if the popularity of "The Da Vinci Code" has not affected him.
Except for the occasional professor who will point out the small loopholes in his works during class, everything is very comfortable, which is the guardian of the school's ivory tower!
Media reporters really want to dig out some new content from Zhang Chu, but the life of this best-selling author, who has sold tens of millions of works in a week, is really lacking, basically two points and one line.
From school to community, occasionally going out to exercise and eat, it is his cat that he sees the most.
Although I haven't been here for some days, matcha quickly reintegrated into the surrounding environment, and the doorman and security uncle liked this cat very much, and occasionally took the initiative to help those reporters introduce it, this is Zhang Chu's matcha!
Now that he has almost rested, Zhang Chu also began to think about what he would write in his next book.
It's just that the brilliance of "The Da Vinci Code" makes it difficult for him to write better works in the commercial field for a while, and now the influence is still there, and it is not suitable for him to write another book to fight in the ring, which is purely cheap for the rest.
Fortunately, with the messianic system, writing is not a difficult task, as long as you find what you want to write.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chu couldn't help but be happy, he planned to take this opportunity to settle down and write something he wanted to write.
"Now that the manuscript fee has arrived, it is better to put the matter of buying a villa on the agenda. ”
Although this house has only been renovated for a year, Zhang Chu already wants to buy another set, the real economy is not good this year, and buying a house is quite profitable, but the appreciation potential of the villa is not estimated to be high, just satisfy yourself!
He leaned comfortably on the balcony, and the rare good weather in Yanjing in autumn was suitable for playing with his mobile phone in this place.
At this time, he opened Weibo to see the most suitable actor to play the leading role in the readers' own minds, others said that he had a prototype when he was writing, but in fact there was no at all!
These readers were still arguing about who was more suitable for the role, Uncle Daoming or Uncle Baoguo, but Zhang Chu's eyes were attracted by another post.
[I seem to have bought a fake copy of "The Da Vinci Code", only to find out that it was wrong after buying it, and now I am on my way to the bookstore to return it......]
Zhang Chu's official website is still quite lively, since the lottery was held on the official website, fans have stationed their base camp here, and the number of active people is very large every day.
"Could it be that he bought a pirated book?" Zhang Chu secretly raised his vigilance, now that the book market is developing relatively well, if there are pirated publishers who take advantage of the popularity to make money, this will be very harmful!
Click on this picture to see that the design is exactly the same as the cover of "The Da Vinci Code", the Mona Lisa is smiling mysteriously, but the title of the book has become "Da Vinci Decoded".
It's easy to get it wrong at first glance!
Zhang Chu couldn't help laughing at this time, he would always come, and he would be late at most, but he would definitely not be absent.
If nothing else, this book should not be a pirated edition, but a copycat!
If it's a pirated copy, there is still a way to deal with it, but there is no way to deal with copycats.
To put it bluntly, this is imitation, and this is the heat in the open.
The cover is the Mona Lisa, the copyright of this painting has long expired and become a public resource, the Da Vinci code can be used, and the Da Vinci decoding can also be used!
For example, the cover of "Youth Pi" is hand-painted by Zhang Chu, and if the rest of the people want to follow suit, they must avoid this cover, and if they are too similar, they will be judged as plagiarism.
The netizens who saw this post couldn't help laughing one by one, and the difference between the two words was quite big.
"666, don't retreat, landlord, let's see what this book is about~~"
"Anyway, I almost read it wrong yesterday, if I hadn't found out that the author was not called Zhang Chu, I would have bought it directly. The bookstore is so disgusting, just put these two books together!"
"It is estimated that this picture can be on the funny collection again, and it will become a rising star after Kang Shuaifu and Zhizhi melon seeds!"
"It can be seen that now "The Da Vinci Code" is really popular, and there are even copycats. ”
"The landlord must want to laugh me to death, borrow the picture and send it to the circle of friends."
"What is this, I just searched and found that there is another one called Decoding Da Vinci, the two of them should make a pair!"
Zhang Chu's mood has become quite good for some reason, sometimes he has to keep his eyes open when buying books, and maybe he will buy copycat works.
Imagine how sad it must have been when this reader bought a book from a bookstore with great anticipation, and was about to read it, only to find out that he had bought the wrong work!
The publishing house launched these products while the iron was hot, and the bookstore was also fueling the fire for the sake of sales, and if it weren't for the two books together, it probably wouldn't have been wrong.
This is the result of market choice, even Hanlin Culture Media or Nanhai Publishing Company can not put an end to it, and can only appeal to readers to read the text clearly on Weibo!
In fact, it is not those two works that follow the trend and gain popularity, many small publishing companies without discipline have launched their own works, such as "Cracking the Da Vinci Code", "The Mystery of Da Vinci", "How to Crack the Da Vinci Code?35 Questions to Reveal the Beauty of Mathematics", "Analysis of Da Vinci Paintings", "European Travel Guide", "Da Vinci Notes", "Da Vinci and His Magic Code" and so on.
There are countless works like this, and there are even many catalogues that have emerged to seize the market.
Even some TV programs have opened up the topic of the Da Vinci code, especially the science and education channel, which has invited historians, artists, theological researchers, symbol code experts and others to gather together for all-round discussions.
The ratings are said to be not bad!
In addition, travel companies are also suitable for launching Da Vinci code-themed travel routes, following the escape routes of Yang Xuan and others in various scenic spots in Europe.
This is no longer an idea that domestic travel companies have come up with, travel companies all over the world are doing the same thing, for example, the American travel agency has different Da Vinci code tour packages for $3,000-$30,000!
It can be said that Zhang Chu's film has increased the number of tourists to France by ten percentage points.
