Chapter 61: Scared

Zhuang Yan is now easy to forget himself as soon as he sits in front of the computer and writes, and when Chen Jiaqing called him to eat at noon, he still knocked on the door a few times before he heard it.

In this way, he wrote until the evening, Zhuang Yan felt that the joints of his fingers were about to loosen, and when he was about to relax, Wang Lijian's phone called.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, are you coming to give me good news again?" Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

"What's the good news, I'm here to report your worries, are you in front of the computer?" Wang Lijian said.

Zhuang Yan said with some doubts: "Here, what's the matter?"

"It's good to be here, you open the 'face-to-face' homepage and take a look, don't hang up the phone first, you see what we're talking about. Wang Lijian said.

Zhuang Yan muttered a little in his heart, he didn't know what medicine Wang Lijian's gourd was selling, but as he said, he used the computer to open the "face-to-face" website.

Before, he was still puzzled that Wang Lijian only asked him to open the website, but didn't tell him what he wanted him to see, and when he opened the "face-to-face" homepage, this question was solved in his heart.

I saw a picture on the hot search on the homepage of the website that occupies a small area, but it is very conspicuous, so that people who enter the website can see a picture, and the picture has such a title written on it: The famous scholar Qin Lipi's "Alive" is not academic.

The dazzling title, Zhuang Yan was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that someone would start criticizing him so soon.

At this time, Wang Lijian asked over the phone, "How is it, do you see it?"

Zhuang Yan clicked on the title and said to Wang Lijian: "Well, I'm watching." ”

Wang Lijian snorted: "Okay, then you take your time, and we'll talk in five minutes." ”

After saying that, the phone on the other side didn't hang up, Zhuang Yan put the phone on the table and began to read the report seriously.

said that it was a report, but in fact it was not, most of the content in it was reprinted from the words of the famous scholar Qin Li.

The report wrote: "Recently, everyone must know that there is a book that is particularly popular, this book is called "Alive", and the author of this book, Zhuang Yan, is something we have never heard of before. Since the book came out, it has become a topic of discussion...... However, Mr. Qin Li, a famous scholar today, expressed a different point of view, and the following is written by Mr. Qin Li......"

Then there is what Qin Li wrote, and it can be seen that this Qin Li is a "cultural person", and what he writes is not the vernacular used in normal writing.

For example, there is a sentence that says, "Today's article, strange phenomena come out of chaos, and people of my generation can't bear to read it", which is not popular at all, of course, Zhuang Yan does not think that this is classical Chinese, at most, it is just an antique vernacular.

The most important thing is that this old gentleman did not mention the book "Alive" in a large part of the previous article, and he complained that the authors are too utilitarian in writing books, the literary skills are too weak, and the penmanship is too bad, and the other time he will say that the vernacular literature has tarnished Chinese literature, lowered the threshold for literati, and made some ghosts, snakes, and gods come to the literary world to fill up the numbers.

Of course, perhaps he also knows that vernacular literature is now popular and irreversible, so the topic of vernacular literature is not heavy, and the most important thing is that the works of young writers today have no thickness, and they are not the children of Yiren.

waited until Zhuang Yan read the elder nonsense, and then the full text entered the main topic.

"Today's hot work in the literary world is "Alive", the first time I read it, I laughed, my wife said why I laughed, I said, there is no other, pretending to be deep, but in fact, naΓ―ve ears. The full text is like a child's dream, which has no practical significance, if so, it can also be a book, when a three-year-old child can laugh and be proud of the literary world......"

Zhuang Yan patiently read this paragraph, and he knew what this old "cultural person" was accusing him of. It's nothing more than that his writing technique is too inferior, and he actually uses a completely blank style of writing, even a young child who is enlightened in elementary school can write. The content of the book is mostly fantastical, not linked to reality at all, and has no practical educational significance at all.

When Zhuang Yan was about to take a look at the comments under the article, Wang Lijian's voice rang again on the phone.

"Zhuang Yan, have you finished reading?"

Zhuang Yan picked up the phone and said with a smile: "Well, after reading it, I was scolded so much that I was bloody." ”

Wang Lijian also smiled, "Since you were scolded so bloody, can you still laugh?"

"Do I have to cry when others scold me, isn't this exactly what these people want? But then again, who is this famous scholar Qin Li, and how can he think of scolding me?" Zhuang Yan said, and he also bit the words "famous scholar" a little heavier.

He was really curious, judging from the layout given face-to-face, this person should have some weight. But Zhuang Yan searched his own memories and the memories of his predecessors, and he didn't remember that there was such a number one person.

And since the other party is a celebrity, why would he scold him for no reason? Is it really like what he said in the article, he feels that "Alive" has harmed the general public, so he has a strong sense of justice and wants to eliminate evil?

However, Wang Lijian's answer afterwards made him almost squirt out a mouthful of old blood, Wang Lijian said: "Slap you? Of course, it's because you are popular, these critics catch the books that are on fire every day, which can be regarded as rubbing the heat." And you are the kind of person, they are the favorite, the new author, suddenly famous, there are not many people who support you, and the fame is not big enough, you can also be scared. If Principal Cai and Kang Gong wrote something, even if he really didn't approve of it, he wouldn't dare to say it. ”

Zhuang Yan suddenly said: "It turned out to be a critic who wanted to gain popularity, yes, in their eyes, am I a soft persimmon?"

Wang Lijian smiled again: "Whether it's a soft persimmon or a hard walnut, doesn't it all depend on you?"

When Zhuang Yan heard Wang Lijian's words, he realized something, thinking that maybe Wang Lijian hoped that he could be stronger, but he didn't continue the topic, but asked: "You told me to report worries, that is, this matter?"

Wang Lijian paused, probably because he didn't expect Zhuang Yan to change the topic so quickly, and then he said: "No, there are still some things about the sales of "Alive". Yesterday's single-day sales came out, only 300,000, a lot lower than the first day. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded, this was within his expectations, there was still a special reason for the outbreak on the first day, but he was about to speak, and he heard Wang Lijian say: "However, although the physical sales have declined, the sales on the website have increased a little." It is estimated that the sales of your book will not go up for a while, because the serialization on the website at the beginning will greatly affect the physical sales. ”

Zhuang Yan didn't agree with Wang Lijian's words, he said: "This is not right, after all, if it wasn't serialized on the website before, I don't think it would have become popular later." ”

"No, and Principal Cai's recommendation, it's hard to think about it. Wang Lijian said.

"Hehe, if it wasn't serialized on the Internet, how could you see it, how could Principal Cai recommend it?"

Wang Lijian was almost persuaded by him, but in the end he said: "Gold will shine wherever it is, it's just a matter of time or time, even if there is no me, there will always be another person who sees it." ”
