Chapter 173: Official Invitation (Asking for Votes and Subscriptions)

The discussion about "Life of Pi" became more and more widespread, and those who read the book became tap water, spontaneously recommended it to the people around them, and then pulled them to discuss and analyze it together.

How popular is this one?

Just look at the amount of discussion on related topics on Weibo!

"Sherlock" has been released for so long, with a total of 3.19 million posts to discuss, while "Life of Pi" has accumulated 740,000 in just a few days, which is very fast.

And on the Tianya Forum, on Douban Reading, and even on Qiandu Know, there are people who post inquiries, and there are even rewards.

Qiandu knows that the world's largest Chinese interactive Q&A platform has always been a place for all kinds of golden sentences and students' homework to ask for help.

And the number of questions and answers about Pi here is more than 10 pages!

"What exactly is the deepest interpretation of Life of Pi?"

"What exactly does Life of Pi's fantasy drifting mean?"

"What is the meaning of that rat in the boys' pie? Note that it's a mouse, not a tiger!"

"Ask for the purchase address of Zhang Chu Youth Pie. ”

"Do you know which story of Pi is true and what it tells?"

There are even local tyrants who spent 100 thousand coins for a reward, and the reply below his question instantly built a tall building, and the number of answers turned out to be dozens, and the comment with the most likes was liked by 7135 people and stepped on by 457 people.

The rest of the wonderful replies are more than thousands, less than hundreds, and the comment area below each answer is equally lively!

Zhi~hu, Tianya Forum, and Stick~ The related posts on it have also popped up, and people who don't read or discuss the youth school seem to have lost touch with the times.

Character discussions, religious reflections, psychological inquiry, cannibal islands, hints and hidden contents, have all been studied over and over again.

Even the classic sentences and lines in it were excerpted and became popular on the Internet!

……

Of course, Zhang Chu's own Weibo has not escaped this trend, and many netizens after reading it have come to private messages, or @, or comments, wanting this author to answer their confusion.

"This book is also too attractive!"

Zhang Chu said to himself that if he chose a serious literary work to participate in the competition, even if he tried to shout hard, he might not be able to mobilize so many readers.

He now finally understands why his book was read by many people who paid to read it in the first place, not because of the catchy name, but because of the advertising nature of Weibo.

That Weibo directly brought thousands of fans over!

There are too many private messages, Zhang Chu can't see them at all, he used to be one of them, searching all kinds of things related to the youth school all over the Internet, and all kinds of analyses are dazzling.

Now that he has become an author, he understands the actions of the readers, and at the same time understands the intentions of the creators.

"Zhang Chuda, what kind of story are you telling?"

"Damn, that's amazing. Looking at the front, I still think it is average, but the back is simply a masterpiece! Zhang Chuda, desperately call you!"

"Does the name Richard Parker imply the truth of the story?"

"Awesome, awesome! to be able to tell a cruel story so fresh and refined. ”

"I've seen the best one this year, the front is rippling, and the back is cold and sweating!"

"I hope to publish a physical book as soon as possible, it doesn't look enjoyable on the Internet. ”

"Excuse me, did Pie really eat those corpses?"

News like this abounds, and there are enough interpretations of all walks of life, and now readers want to see an official explanation.

Zhang Chu touched his chin that had just shaved off his beard, he typed such a string of words on the keyboard, and then clicked publish.

[To paraphrase a sentence in it, I will give it to everyone: If it happens, it happens, why does it have to be meaningful?

You asked me to explain the book for you.

It's not something I'm supposed to do.

I write, you read, and that's the way it is. So you have to decide for yells what it really means. 】

This sentence was not deceitful, and what was said was completely from Zhang Chu's heart.

We have always been told what the so-called standard answer is, but whether it is a painting, an article, a movie, or a song, everyone's comprehension and understanding are different, and the so-called standard answer only exists in mathematics, not in the field of art and culture!

"Life of Pi" is a movie that leads people to interpret and think, and its greatest significance lies in the differentiation of personal interpretation to measure the inner orientation and value of most people.

There is nothing more enjoyable than this, and readers are happy to participate in it and enjoy the precious inner resonance.

……

Zhang Chu didn't pay any attention to the readers' requests, he went to look at the paid hits of "Youth School" on the essay publicity page, and then closed the computer.

At this time, three days have passed, and the growth of the number of paid people of "Life of Pi" has not slowed down too much, and it has exceeded 100,000 at this time!

After seeing Zhang Chu's works, so many people set their sights on the rest of the works, especially those that are free.

A rising tide lifts all boats!

The number of hits of this year's Chinese Good Literature Essay Contest is generally higher than that of the previous editions, and if you don't look at the quality, everything is so thriving.

It's already the weekend, Zhang Chu plans to read a book at home, and when the summer vacation has just crossed over, he has already made up for the relevant history.

Now he plans to delve into the literary works of modern history, there are too many new works that he has not read, and it is completely a paradise for those who love to read and travel!

Flipping through the "Changes of Modern Chinese Literature" in his hand, Zhang Chu seriously understood the development process of literature that was different from the earth.

The sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun shone on the study, and the orange sunlight dappled the window lattices and the shadows of the trees outside, dappled onto the large row of bookshelves by the wall.

The books in the shadows have been darkened, but even the words on the books can be seen clearly in the places where they are lit!

The title of "Psychological Crime" is gilded, and the gold shines brightly, which is very eye-catching.

Zhang Chu stretched, he turned his head to look at the mobile phone charging next to him, and the vibrating sound disturbed him reading.

Although it is an unfamiliar phone, Zhang Chu already has experience, so don't hang up the phone casually.

"Is it Mr. Zhang Chu, the author of "Youth School"?"

A sweet and lovely voice came out of the earpiece, could it be that which publishing house wanted to contact in advance?

Zhang Chu replied: "Yes, it's me." ”

"I am a staff member of the China Good Literature Essay Contest. Congratulations to Mr. Zhang Chu for passing the preliminary selection, and now we solemnly invite you to participate in the award ceremony of the essay competition!"

Even the registration was reported by others, and it was impossible to expect Zhang Chu to check the specific process, he said suspiciously: "Isn't it just a direct selection? Why do you still have an award ceremony?"

The female voice on the other side explained: "Our results will be announced at the award ceremony, and there will be many people from the literary world at that time, Mr. Zhang Chu, do you have time to spare on the evening of October 8?"

"Yes. ”

"Okay, we'll send the invitation letter to me when the time comes, please fill in the recipient's name, phone number and address on the China Writers Network. ”
