Chapter 863: Chasing After Victory [Two More Requests for Subscription]
After Zhou Kang confirmed Zhang Chu's itinerary, he prepared to leave.
He actually wanted to ask Zhang Chu to take a look at the first draft of "The Lord of the Rings", but after thinking about it, he didn't speak.
There are still so many important things to do in the coming time, and there is almost no time to sit down and read a book!
Now that Zhang Chu has decided to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, this series of things can be prepared first, especially the cooperation with Dior menswear.
As the world's top luxury brand and one of the six blue-blooded brands, Dior menswear has an extraordinary position in the fashion circle.
Many male stars in the entertainment industry have dreamed of the title of brand ambassador, but now they have been snatched away by a writer!
Those brokerage companies with small traffic are estimated to be angry to death.
This was originally an accident, Zhou Kang accidentally heard that Dior was looking for an image ambassador in China, and he helped Zhang Chu pay attention.
When he first started to contact Dior China, both Hanlin Culture Media and Dior thought that this person was probably crazy!
But he made it, Zhang Chu defeated those young idols who were reposted by fans on Weibo and broke 100 million without knowing it.
Brand ambassadors don't have any endorsement fees, but they can help improve their qualifications, and they are of course an important asset for fans to brag about for those traffic students who are in urgent need of resources.
But a writer who has not appeared for a long time can run to be a brand ambassador, and Zhou Kang himself doesn't know why Dior wants to go crazy with him.
But no one has to worry about the next clothes, Zhang Chu can wear Dior's latest clothes in Cannes, and he doesn't have to worry about colliding with others.
"That's right, sponsoring Zhang Chu's words is topical. It's not new to find celebrity endorsements, and this kind of cross-border combination has more attention. What's more, Zhang Chu's next activities are so much, the exposure rate is definitely not low!"
Not everyone can legitimately go to Cannes with three films, and not everyone can appear on the red carpet of the Oscars or Golden Globes at the age of twenty.
Even if many fans only care about his work, at least there will be no shortage of news photos.
If you look for those young traffic niches, you will also be questioned about the decline of brand style.
So find a writer with the most potential in the world, and no one should say anything at this time!
Zhou Kang is not worried about Zhang Chu entering the entertainment industry, but that otaku Ge is not even willing to face the camera, how can he mix in the entertainment industry?
He drove away from the temporary parking place in the community, with a smile on his face, and it was much more comfortable for Zhang Chu to be an agent than in the original company.
……
"Next time, I should ask Uncle Zhou where he bought this banana, it is actually better than what is sold in the supermarket. ”
Zhang Chu didn't worry about diarrhea at all, he ate three bananas in one go, and his stomach was swollen at this time, and he didn't know if he could eat it after the takeaway was delivered.
He touched his stomach, leaned on the sofa and prepared to rest by playing with his mobile phone, and by the way, he took a look at where the takeaway brother's itinerary on the takeaway app went.
Technology is becoming more and more advanced, and lazy people have a legitimate reason to be lazy.
They are just creating jobs for others and driving the GDP growth of the whole society!
For things that he didn't have the opportunity to do in his previous life, Zhang Chu was more enthusiastic about it in his life.
Just like now, he hadn't been to Cannes for movies, and he didn't know what would happen there, so when Zhou Kanglai asked, he readily agreed.
This is the meaning of rebirth or time-travel, experiencing a different life.
Although the house is the main theme, but there is a chance to see a broader world, so why not?
Leaning on the sofa, Zhang Chu looked at the comments on his Weibo in his mobile phone, and there were many people asking him to quickly authorize the audiobook!
"I don't have much free time every day, and I can't read books when I commute to and from work, so it would be nice if "In the Name of the People" had a listening function, so that I don't have to go back to reading books after I'm tired and half dead every day, and I can't read a few pages before falling asleep. ”
"Agreed. It's not easy to take out your phone when there are many people on the subway, and it's still good to listen to books with headphones. ”
"The ghost blows the lantern, and the first two parts are all listened to by me a little bit. ”
"To tell the truth, suspense, supernatural, and horror are more popular in audio books, but since it's Zhang Chu's book, you shouldn't have to worry about the listening rate, right?"
"If we don't urge you to write a new book, we have to give us enough to entertain us, right?"
"Actually, I bought Mr. Zhang's books purely for collection, and I put them on the bookshelf without turning them over. Most of them are listened to with the audiobook function, but the quality of these audiobooks is different, and I hope to deal with it well. ”
Zhang Chu is the audiobook of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is very popular, when the volume of "Exquisite Ancient City" was serialized, the cumulative number of listeners on Himalayan FM exceeded 100 million.
The recent "Da Vinci Code" is also very popular in listening books, but because the plot is a little jumpy, all the plots happen overnight, and the perspective changes quickly, so the audience is sometimes confused.
Those who like the work "In the Name of the People" are not only those who have entered the society and have experience, but also many young people who also like this work.
For the first time, a young man who has been growing up in an ivory tower has found that officialdom is so dark, every sentence is a pit, and there are traps everywhere!
He really can't remember at this time whether the audiobook of "In the Name of the People" has been authorized or not.
If there was enough time, Zhang Chu, who had won the storytelling skill, would be willing to record one or two episodes, but now there are too many things in his hands, and he has to give up this idea.
"When I go back, I listen to it when I drive, and hear who tells the best story, and the best person to tell 'In the Name of the People'. ”
Audiobooks can only be regarded as derivative copyrights, and it is normal to not be able to take care of them when the physical books have only been released for a long time.
Zhang Chu couldn't help but yawn, tears almost flowed out, and the thought of going to sleep hovered in his mind for a long time.
Fortunately, at this time, the doorbell of the takeaway brother made him have to stand up.
Looking at the beautifully packaged food, I can't eat it at this time!
Throwing the food on the table, Zhang Chu returned to the computer desk in the study and sat down, and the page at this time was staying on the Douban reading score of "In the Name of the People".
More than 90,000 people gave an evaluation of 8.8 points, which is not low in the main theme, and it is quite high in the category of officialdom.
Readers have given it a high rating.
Not only readers, but also professional book reviewers, writers, and officials at all levels have all given positive reviews.
Zhang Wangfei, an inspector of the Jiangdong Provincial Writers' Association and executive director of the Center for Contemporary Writers' Studies, wrote in the newspaper: "I admire Zhang Chu's courage, he is very brave in facing the corruption of officialdom. There are not many heroic images and typical characters that were common in the past in the tradition over the years, and they can be seen again in "In the Name of the People". Focusing on shaping anti-corruption heroes, to a certain extent, reflects the author's hero complex. ”
Zhang Shengyou, director of the Reportage Committee of the National Writers Association, also gave high praise, "I am very happy and proud of this young author." He was born out of nowhere after many years of silence in domestic anti-corruption literature, and shook our Chinese literary circles! This kind of subject matter is really not something that ordinary writers can control and grasp, especially at Zhang Chu's age!"
"If we follow the long-form tradition, 'In the Name of the People' is close to the concept of a real long-form novel, it is very close to our lives. Some people say it's politics, some say it's anti-corruption, some say it's officialdom, and some say it's discipline inspection. The whole work deeply describes the political ecology, social ecology, and cultural ecology of a province, which is very detailed and true, and this work like a sketch of social life shows Zhang Chu's infinite possibilities in literary creation, and his upper limit is infinite!"
"Literature and Art Daily" published many comments from critics or writers, and almost everyone held a positive attitude.
Of course, this is also related to political correctness, the subject matter and content are definitely no problem, what needs to be strengthened is Zhang Chu's personal writing style.
"Zhang Chu's work has interlocking stories in terms of artistic treatment, the plot twists and turns are surprising, and the scenes are shocking and powerful. But I feel that the emotional content is a little weaker, which can be improved and improved!"
Zhang Chu's book breaks the narrative mode of officialdom and anti-corruption about officialdom, and incorporates some new elements, involving big politics outside the operation of power, which is quite breakthrough and pioneering. ”
"In the Name of the People" embodies Zhang Chu's courage and courage to confront the current social contradictions and directly attack the deepest root causes of corruption. In the story, the two heroes put their lives on the line for anti-corruption, which is really rare. ”
These praises are not from the public relations of Hanlin Culture Media and Nanhai Publishing Company, but the real feelings of these authors and critics.
In today's social environment, there are very few people who dare to write about this kind of subject, and it is even more rare to be able to write it so wonderfully!
Even if they have criticized the rest of Zhang Chu's works, when it comes to this work, they can still see many of the shining points.
Zhang Chu didn't feel praised after seeing these comments, and he didn't say that he would continue to create this type of work in the future.
For him, writing once is enough.
It's impossible to write this type of main theme all the time!
But he rarely enjoyed the collective praise from the reviewers, and he felt he could screenshot them.
Nowadays, the sales of "In the Name of the People" are rising, and there is a great momentum to chase after the victory.
The book "Norwegian Wood", which was released more than four months earlier, did not have a big sales lead, and it is very likely to be surpassed by this novel officialdom or anti-corruption article.
Now Nanhai Publishing Company doesn't care how much "In the Name of the People" will sell, but is just looking to see when it will break the sales record of books of this genre in officialdom!
Is it a month, or three months, or six months, a year?
The current trend is pretty much a certainty.
