γChapter error, click here to reportγ
For many readers, they read history books because they find them useful, and when people encounter the troubles of life or the setbacks of work in reality, or in order to avoid these misfortunes, people need to learn from the lessons of the past and learn from history.
People are realistic and eager to succeed. The rich treasure trove of Chinese history is China's greatest treasure of success.
The problems that people encounter in life and work today can almost all be found in history.
The ratings of CCTV's science and education channel are not too low, and the influence is also very large, Zhou Yunshen's program immediately caused a huge response after it was broadcast!
"Old Zhou, well done. β
Ji Guanghe, the editor of Huaqiang Publishing House, praised and said that in the past, Zhou Yunshen's works did not have such a strong publicity role before they were released.
Zhou Yunshen sat across the desk, he shook his head and said, "It's just a small matter, if you ask me to criticize a historian, I can't do it." But Zhang Chu, a celebrity who writes across borders, has no problem. β
Ji Guanghe turned the computer monitor, pointed to the text on the screen and said: "The publishing industry also pays attention to bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and it is better for us to do it than to be pinched by others." Look at how good it works now!"
I usually enter Zhou Yunshen's name on the thousand-degree search, and I can't search for anything new, nothing more than links to previous works and book reviews.
But now it's different, a search is full of the latest news releases, and the popularity has increased quite significantly!
[Zhang Chu's new work was criticized by experts for its lack of professionalism]
[The writer of "Juvenile Tour" severely criticized the current chaos in historical creation, and said that popular writing is killing the vitality of historical works!]
[Writer Zhou Yunshen: Without relevant historical knowledge, you should not get involved in the creation of historical themes!]
[Should young people write history?Should history be serious or popular?]
[Historical creation should respect historical facts, and historical facts cannot be erased]
[Zhou Yunshen brought his new work "Dunhuang" to CCTV's "Talk" column, exposing various problems in the current historical creation, which is thought-provoking. γ
All sorts of news poured in, and even though it was only online media and not printed in newspapers, it was enough to spread.
Zhou Yunshen was very satisfied, his serious creation was not as good as this kind of lace news, he knew that scolding people could get so much attention, so what kind of propaganda did he work so hard for!
A door slowly opened, Zhou Yunshen seemed to see a shortcut full of flowers and applause, as long as he was willing to put down, it is not difficult to find a few famous writers like Zhang Chu now, often drag them out to criticize and criticize, and keep them to earn enough eyeballs.
At this time, editor Ji Guanghe proposed: "Lao Zhou, since the heat is not bad now, let's start preparing for the pre-sale of "Dunhuang", strike while the iron is hot, so as not to have too many dreams at night." β
"Okay, has the time for the listing been finalized?" Zhou Yunshen said with some excitement, as a full-time writer, the sales of old books are getting worse, and only after the new books are on the market can he get the manuscript fee.
"On February 10th, it was listed nationwide, and now it is still a good publicity, there are many people who know Dunhuang and have been to Dunhuang, and your book has the potential to sell well. β
Zhou Yunshen's eyes widened, "What do I need to do? Will I continue to criticize Zhang Chu on Weibo? Or will I change writers?"
Zhou Yunshen, who tasted the sweetness of popularity, felt a little poisoned, and the attention of the media was like poison, making him unwilling to give up.
After all, it's just to say something unpleasant, and now there are already media who have applied for interviews, and there is no such treatment in the past.
Ji Guanghe raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yunshen, reminded and said: "This kind of thing is okay once or twice once in a while, but if you do too much, it will not work." After all, you're a writer, not a literary critic. β
"That's right. Zhou Yunshen was quite disappointed, "Or I can transform into a literary critic, but it is much more comfortable than my writing." β
β¦β¦
"Son, is this man famous? His words won't affect you much, will they?"
Chu Lan asked with concern, this is on the CCTV Science and Education Channel, I don't know how many people have watched it, and the rest of the news media will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Zhang Chu shook his head, "It shouldn't be particularly famous, I have an impression of the most famous one." Now his criticism is not tenable at all. The work has not been written yet, how can there be such criticism. β
"Even if that's the case, it's annoying, but you have to be careful when you write, don't have too many loopholes, don't give those people a chance to attack you. Chu Lan couldn't help but push Zhang Chu to the study, "They said theirs, you write yours, write well." After writing it, I will give it to your mentor to read slowly. β
Zhang Chu was not affected too much at this time, and he knew that there would be a lot of controversy when he wrote "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".
When it comes to the most famous historical works on earth, seven or eight out of ten people will mention "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".
Before this work, people did not know that history could be written in this way, and it seemed that it could only be ignored in the ivory tower, but after Huang Renyu, not only did the history of the Ming Dynasty enter the field of public reading, but the entire historiography caused a wave of attention on the public scale. At the same time, various controversies surrounding Huang Renyu's historiography and methods of study also followed!
This book can be said to be a popular and best-selling historical work, and I don't know how many genuine and pirated prints have been sold for decades.
In the folk, Huang Renyu is a well-known master of history, but in the field of historiography, Huang Renyu is more like a "side-door left-minded", and the mainstream domestic Ming history experts do not quite adopt his views, and some people even specifically analyze Huang Renyu's works and criticize his academic attitude.
Before and after his death, Huang Renyu can be said to have gathered reputation!
The book has been a bestseller for decades, and it is by no means something that can be dismissed with a novel way of writing, and it is recommended by many first-year students in schools.
Even the extremely popular "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can't compare to "Wanli Fifteen Years" in terms of sales, after all, it has been too long.
Even after the broadcast of the hit TV series "In the Name of the People" in 2017, this work published in 1982 regained the top spot in the sales list of Beijing and East Books after more than 30 years!
For decades, it has not fallen from various rankings at all, silently increasing sales.
At the time of Zhang Chu's crossing, "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" was still the first historical work of Beijing and East Books in the past 30 days, and the number of reviews of a product exceeded 80,000.
According to the latest data from Tianmao Business Staff, the number of popular orders for Wanli 15 years of books every day is more than 1,000, becoming the top three in the book industry, second only to a college entrance examination review reference material and another English level 4 question material!
Zhang Chu is indeed full of confidence in the book he has not yet written, and he wants to know what kind of expression Zhou Yunshen has after seeing "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".
