Chapter 368: Never Disappoint (Second Update)

"What?"

"More than two million words directly serialized update?"

"Just like a normal network?"

Wu Tong's words quickly made the helmsmen of the realm change color!

Zhang Chu has never completely serialized any of them on the Internet before, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has only been updated with more than 200,000 words and has appeared on the various lists of the origin Chinese network.

And when his "Journey to the West Diary" was serialized on Weibo, the number of comments and retweets under each Weibo was 20,000, the number of likes was more than 50,000, and the number of reads exceeded 3 million!

Although I don't know the real content of "Sou Shen Ji" now, this kind of posture of entering the online literature industry is really surprising, and if the content of more than two million words is made into a physical book, it will definitely take several books.

Li Zetao asked curiously: "Is Zhang Chu planning to enter the online literature industry in the real sense? What about the physical book, isn't it going to be sold?"

This development trajectory is very strange, most of the time it is that after the online writers have stabilized their godhead, they begin to not fight much for the monthly ticket list or other things, and focus on the physical, film and television, and game adaptation.

Just like a certain god said in Zhihu, the station is just a fish pond, and they have jumped out of the fish pond, and his original words are: "The online website where it is located, for every god who is determined to make a lot of money, is just a novice village." ”

For the gods, the online text website is really just a novice village, and for the writers who have already carried out copyright operations, they have long jumped out of the world of online literature.

The annual online writer rich list is actually an example, the position of sugar plus three spoons that ranks first every year is quite stable, but he has not been the first in the data of the origin Chinese network in recent years, and he is not even the top three!

Because he has completed the primitive accumulation of popularity, to welcome a bigger and broader world.

Other web authors want to jump out of the website, but Zhang Chu wants to jump in!

In fact, Zhang Chu and Zhou Kang both understand that what restricts Zhang Chu's development potential now is his mass base, and many people have indeed heard of this name, but those who have read his works still occupy a minority.

This can be seen in the sales of his books, no work has sold more than 5 million copies, and the closest "Sherlock" has only reached a total of 4.2 million copies under the hit of the British drama of the same name.

In addition, the one with the most potential is, of course, "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City".

This New Year's Day release sold 3.8 million copies in three months, and it is still selling well!

However, these three or four million books are simply a drop in the ocean for hundreds of millions of domestic netizens, and they belong to an insignificant part.

Netizens who have really watched "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" are estimated to have not seen "Journey to the West Diary".

After all, the former needs to be charged, and the latter is serialized for free on Weibo, and it has also formed one after another Internet hot words and popular terms.

If the building wants to be built higher, the foundation must be laid, so Menglong Culture Media wants to use the online website to help Zhang Chu gain a more solid mass foundation.

The relationship between the entity and the network is actually a bit similar to the relationship between movies and TV series, anyway, Zhang Chu understands it this way.

The movie is relatively high, but the income and influence are average, while the TV series is slightly inferior, but the earning power and popularity of the masses are quite high.

Among the four major flowers, why did Xiaoyanzi suffer from various troughs or successfully turn over?

is nothing more than the TV series in which she is the protagonist has become an eternal memory of the post-80s and 90s, and even can be rebroadcast on Shonan Satellite TV every winter vacation, and the ratings overwhelming a large number of new dramas.

There is a mass base, no matter how big a mistake Xiaoyanzi makes, there is a possibility of a comeback!

And another big flower, after the failure of the attack on Hollywood, returned to China but found that his position had already fallen a lot, although he was nominally nominated for the Golden Globe Award, but so what?

Ordinary viewers don't know her very well, and they don't buy it, after experiencing the double door incident, even if she has won more than ten movies in one go, she has not yet recovered.

This is the disadvantage that she only starred in movies and did not appear in TV series to accumulate a mass base, of course, this big flower Dan also realized this, and in recent years, she has lowered her profile to do various variety shows, and will also participate in the filming of her first TV series, but it is a lot late, at least for the majority of 8090 and 00 post-00s, there is no such thing!

Because of its own special reasons, the Internet has a lot of readers, and it is very suitable for netizens to read, which can help build Zhang Chu's mass base.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Sou Shen Ji" are the weapons that Zhang Chu used to increase fans, and I believe that domestic readers will definitely surprise the rest of the people!

To get back to the point, the people in charge of these stations are all concerned about this matter, and they all know that Zhang Chu will not give up the physical book market.

Wu Tong did not sell it, and said bluntly: "The creation of "Sou Shen Ji" this time will be unprecedented, the online serialization and the newspaper serialization will be carried out at the same time, and the two sides will maintain the same progress. At the same time, the physical collection is released, and it is expected that the complete physical book will be published halfway through the series!"

"A book of more than 2 million words, that is, when the serialization reaches more than 1 million words, all the physical books will be released? Wouldn't readers know the finale and the subsequent plot development, will they still watch the serial?" Li Zetao asked worriedly.

Wan Gaoyang also asked: "Can you guarantee that Zhang Chu can have such a fast writing speed?" I'm afraid that many full-time Internet writers can't reach this level." ”

According to Wu Tong, this is the rhythm of saving a million words, which is simply too terrifying.

"There's nothing to say about the newspaper serialization, and anyway, the readers of our station will hardly have a conflict with the group of people who read the newspaper. But wouldn't it be too risky to publish the complete physical book directly, and what publisher would be willing to take such a big risk?"

Ding Wenyuan snorted lightly, expressing serious doubts.

However, Wu Tong shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Nanhai Publishing Company has already promised, so I don't bother you." In addition, Zhang Chu's writing speed is very fast, he has sorted out the detailed outline very well, and there are currently more than 200,000 words in the manuscript. He can write more than 10,000 words a day, and you only need to update 4,000 words a day. ”

In fact, these bigwigs also understand that there are not many overlapping readers between physical books and the Internet, and many times even if they know that physical books have finale, many readers will still choose to read slowly on their mobile phones, and it is more convenient to look at mobile phones than to bring a large stack of physical books.

Their doubts and statements are actually to reduce the cost, and at the same time give others a hint that this book is not good, so quickly withdraw from the competition!

"Old Chen, there is no shortage of such a person in your origin Chinese network, so it is better to give it to us." ”

"Does Huanyue have so much money to sign Zhang Chu? Shouldn't it be that you have deducted your author's manuscript fee again? ”

"Since you're all so worried, let's take the risk. I'm funny!"

"Hehe, they're all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you going to do. How it is, I have to read the book. ”

Seeing this, Wu Tong directly turned his head and said to the assistant beside him: "Go and take the first 50,000 words of "Sou Shen Ji", and I'll let them hurry up and take a look." ”

The assistant immediately trotted away, and it was really uncomfortable for her to listen to a group of bigwigs playing tricks.

The sound of "da-da-da" high heels hitting the ground was crisp and pleasant, and gradually faded away.

"I know what everyone thinks, my assistant has already gone to pick up "Sou Shen Ji", and I will take this time to briefly introduce this book to you. Because it will be different from the rest of the works, it will belong to a whole new category!"

The crowd that was tempting you and me stopped and turned their eyes to Wu Tong who was standing in the middle.

A brand new category?

Zhang Chu is going to make a name for himself!

Chen Guangtou and others thought that the development of the Internet had reached the point of incomparably prosperous, but they never expected to be able to play so many tricks.

They want to see what is so special about "Sou Shen Ji"!

"It's an oriental fantasy book that will surprise you, and you'll see all sorts of familiar characters and characters, but they don't match the impression you have in mind. ”

Wan Gaoyang asked puzzledly: "How can there be a saying about oriental fantasy, either Western fantasy or oriental fantasy, you put these two together to make a nondescript hybrid." ”

"What kind of strange classification is this, I kind of agree with Lao Wan's statement, it feels like four dislikes, and the two ends are not pleasing to the other!"

"I'm a little curious about what he can do. ”

Everyone here has a detailed understanding of the types of books, and they can't figure out what oriental fantasy is, let alone the rest of them.

Wu Tong was the same before, if Zhang Chu hadn't explained to him for half an hour, I'm afraid he would still be confused now.

I don't know much about the details, but he is still very familiar with the script, so Wu Tong began to recall Zhang Chu's introduction and teach these bigwigs a good lesson!

"What is Western fantasy should be easy to understand, what magicians, dwarves, elves, knights, orcs, these are all commonly used in Western fantasy. Many people say that there is no fantasy in China, and if you want to write fantasy, you should follow the Western setting. This kind of thinking is absolutely wrong!"

"We have had fantasy in China since the beginning of our ancestors, the earliest "Classic of Mountains and Seas", everyone is familiar with the praise of the father day by day, Jingwei reclamation, Nuwa made people to make up the sky, Dayu to control the water, and the joint work broke through the Buzhou Mountain and so on. According to Zhang Chu's definition, oriental fantasy in a broad sense is probably an article with a fantasy nature that comes from the Chinese tradition and is set in the world. ”

At this time, the female assistant came to the scene with a bag of printed paper, Wan Gaoyang, Ding Wenyuan and others were not interested in saying more, so they just opened them one by one and looked at them first.
