Chapter 623 - Celebrity in the Publishing Circle [Three More Requests for Subscription]
No matter who the writer is, it's sure to be happy to get so much attention.
The same goes for Zhang Chu.
He sat in the airport waiting hall and scrolled through the comments on the Internet, and although Twitter was not used very often, the number of followers in it reached more than five million, which is a good number for a writer.
It is not updated once in ten days and half a month, and it is obvious that there is no luxury to have this number!
It has only been three hours since the contract was signed, and Random House has let everyone on the Internet know part of the content of this contract, and the publicity and planning ability is really terrifying.
Now Twitter is hotly discussed, and even the number of Google searches is rising in horror, and many people are curious about the content of this book.
Why did "The Da Vinci Code" get such a high manuscript fee?
Why did Charles advise Christians to be prepared in an interview?
Why are people in the know so optimistic about this book?
Many questions arose in my mind, obviously writing the Da Vinci code, but it was related to Christianity.
Leonardo da Vinci did paint many paintings of religious subjects, such as the Last Supper, the baptism of Christ, etc., but that doesn't mean he was a Christian!
It's like an apple in the Garden of Eden, God wouldn't let Adam and Eve eat it, but they were curious to try it.
At this time, the popularity has already risen, and Random House successfully turned the situation around with just one news, making "The Da Vinci Code" the most watched new book at this year's Frankfurt Book Fair!
The Internet is so popular, and the mainland is obviously even more excited, because the title of the book has been announced a long time ago, and now it seems that it has not only been written, but even published and distributed.
What's more, Zhang Chu is still Chinese, and a Chinese writer has received a high manuscript fee of 12 million pounds from a foreign publishing company, which is enough to shock the jaw!
The news media worked hard to report, and even a news reprint on the Internet reported that it was about to appear on the screen.
[Foreign media broke the news that Zhang Chu's new work "The Da Vinci Code" broke the prepaid manuscript fee of more than 100 million!]
[The first printing of 5 million copies, the prepaid manuscript fee exceeded 100 million, and Zhang Chu topped this year's writer's rich list without suspense!]
[BBC and other authoritative media reported that Zhang Chu's new work may be related to Christianity. 】
[The staff of Random House said that this is an epoch-making masterpiece that will be refreshing!]
[Record-breaking!Zhang Chu has set a new record for Chinese writers to prepay manuscript fees, and the book has earned hundreds of millions of dollars before it is published!]
[Unstoppable: Zhang Chu's new book The Da Vinci Code will be released at the Frankfurt Book Fair on October 6. 】
[Shocked! A Chinese college student's prepaid remuneration actually killed the Harry Potter author in seconds......]
[Zhang Chu, a young Chinese writer, has achieved a single book income of more than 100 million yuan with his new works, which is the largest overseas income of Chinese writers so far. 】
[American writer commented on Zhang Chu's manuscript fee: I envy this lucky author and want to read the work as soon as possible]
[Heroes are teenagers! Foreign media are vying to praise Zhang Chu for setting a record!]
All kinds of reports emerge in endlessly, and this exaggerated posture simply suppresses the stars in the entertainment industry.
You only make a drama for 20 million yuan, and Zhang Chu writes a film with hundreds of millions of yuan in advance just for the manuscript fee, so it seems that writing a book is indeed quite rich!
Netizens are skeptical about this news, after all, the domestic media are too good at exaggerating the facts, and they are very good at reporting it many times.
It is often reported that the star's salary is over 100 million, and the celebrity's endorsement fee is tens of millions, anyway, how to exaggerate it.
Netizens have been poisoned too much by this, and at first they really thought that the domestic media was acting as a demon again.
But when I looked closely, I realized that this wind was actually coming from the Internet, and the entire Twitter and Facebook were already talking about going crazy!
"I originally wanted to reply to the fake news, but the BBC went to interview the staff of Random House, which should be quite credible!"
"Congratulations to Zhang Chuda, this is great news!"
"The small goal I set at the beginning has finally been achieved, and I can send the book as soon as possible. The whole world is urging for a change. ”
"It's awesome, how long has Zhang Chu only been writing a book, it's actually more than JK Rowling's manuscript fee, this world is too mysterious!"
"Finally finished writing "The Da Vinci Code", since the National Day is going to have a global launch of the new book, when can we see the Chinese version?"
"This should be a record that can't be broken for a long time, it's terrifying!"
"It seems that this book is very appealing to foreigners, and the first printing of 5 million copies is too domineering. ”
"Zhang Chuda hurriedly sent out red envelopes, so that we were happy. ”
Netizens, especially his book fans, are of course overjoyed, and it is a wonderful thing that their favorite authors can also sell well overseas!
Especially those readers who watched Zhang Chu gradually grow up from an ordinary little transparent from the beginning, there is a sense of harvest that my family has grown up.
Along the way, old readers have left, and new readers have joined, and the fan base has continued to expand.
In the face of Zhang Chu's terrifying figure of 12 million pounds, that is, 100 million yuan, people in both the traditional publishing industry and the Internet industry can only be admired!
There is such a super demon among them.
When everyone is still struggling for an income of tens of thousands of dollars a month and a total income of hundreds of thousands of dollars per book, this young person uses practical actions to explain what it means to be different!
The so-called "high-minded" traditional writers have not expressed any lofty opinions in the face of this huge number, which is too high to withstand any slander and negative news.
All they have left now is envy, a figure that far exceeds expectations.
"Hopefully this time at the Frankfurt Book Fair, I can sell my work. Don't expect as much as Zhang Chu, just give me one-tenth, one-hundredth!"
"How about you say I'll ask Zhang Chu to help introduce you? It's better to have an acquaintance introduce you than to sell it directly. ”
"Which brokerage company is Zhang Chu? It seems that this brokerage company can be strong in promotion!"
"Don't expect it, Zhang Chu's brokerage company was established by himself, and the whole company revolves around him alone. The ability is estimated to be average, mainly relying on Zhang Chu's own fighting. ”
"Fortunately, I didn't have any holiday with Zhang Chu, and I didn't say anything bad about him. But I don't have anything to do with him, I haven't heard of any friends and acquaintances in his circle, do you have to let me go to Yanda to find a relationship. ”
The doubts of making money are clearly hanging in front of them, and many of them want to sell their works overseas through Zhang Chu's channel.
No matter how much you can sell, as long as you can sell it, it will be an extra income!
What's more, Random House looks very generous, and it is not such a stingy company, and it may be able to make a lot of money.
Now the writers were stunned after carefully sorting out Zhang Chu's interpersonal relationships, this product seems to have never been active in the publishing circle!
Only the group of contracted writers of Nanhai Publishing Company covered their mouths and laughed, at least they still have a relationship with Zhang Chu in the same company, and they can chat through Nanhai Publishing Company.
