Chapter 370: Chinese is simple
Among the many voices, there was a small stream of voices.
These voices are conspiracy theories, saying that this incident is just a hype directed and acted by Zhuang Yan, but a live signing and book delivery event, which usually anyone will remember and find the few people who won the award, and it just so happens that these seven people have sold books.
Maybe these seven people are fake, Zhuang Yan pretended to give the book out, and then posted a message on the Internet saying that he had collected all seven books, and even the person who bought the book was fake, and Zhuang Yan played it himself.
The whole incident was nothing more than a clumsy marketing exercise, the purpose of which was to elevate Zhuang Yan's identity and enhance his reputation.
This set of theories sounds very reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you know that it is absolutely impossible, with Zhuang Yan's current fame, this kind of thing is needed to improve his fame?
Most netizens are not stupid, and they either laugh at this kind of remarks or are angry.
However, conspiracy theories have never lacked a market, and some people immediately jumped out to follow this kind of remarks, among these people, some of them are brainless followers, and some are black fans of Zhuang Yan, black fans don't care whether the news is true or not, anyway, as long as it is unfavorable to Zhuang Yan, they will jump out and scold.
Zhuang Yan also saw this conspiracy theory, but he didn't care too much, he couldn't change the thoughts of these people. Theoretically, there is no way to get rid of black powder.
He sometimes thinks about how good a person must be in order to be liked by everyone, and in the end he thinks about it and doesn't come up with an answer. Throughout history, no one has been praised by everyone, and no matter who it is, there are always people who jump out and criticize two sentences.
This is true of the dead, let alone the living, and as long as they live, they will inevitably experience criticism.
Zhuang Yan should be content, there are too few people in the literary world who can match him, so he has received very little criticism. If there are a few other new stars in the literary world, even if they can't stand shoulder to shoulder with him, they only need to be able to look at them a little, and the number of black fans will increase exponentially.
Zhuang Yan crossed the news page and began to search for news of new books again.
Although the news of the new book was stolen by the news of those seven books, there was still a lot of news.
It's only been a few hours, and most people haven't finished reading the book, so there aren't a lot of reviews about the book on the Internet.
However, the history of philosophy involved in "Sophie's World" still sparked heated discussions among readers.
[Zhuang Da actually got involved in the field of philosophy? He used to major in philosophy?]
[No, Zhuang Da is a literature major. γ
[The philosophy course in this book has greatly affected my progress in reading the book. γ
[It's okay, although it's philosophy, but you can understand it.] γ
[Ahhh
γFantasy +1γ
[Fantasy +2]
β¦β¦
The reaction of netizens exceeded Zhuang Yan's imagination, although there is content on the history of philosophy, but it is written in simple terms, and ordinary people can understand it.
Stripped of the obscure philosophical terminology, the reader's acceptance suddenly rose several notches.
Zhuang Yan remembered a passage that Hawking said after "A Brief History of Time" came out, and he said that there is only one formula for this book, which is the reason why it sells well. He joked that every more formula in the book might reduce sales.
This is an exaggeration, of course, but it makes a lot of sense.
And "Sophie's World" is also the same, if there are a lot of philosophical terms in it, even if there is an explanation in the text, it will lose a large number of readers. Because there are not many people who are willing to see so many things they don't understand in one book, they prefer to see it in professional books.
Zhuang Yan returned to his fof, although there are very few book reviews for this book now, but there are a lot of book covers.
Many people go to the bookstore early in the morning to buy books, and then the first time is not to open it to see the contents, but to take a photo first and show off on the Internet, and Zhuang Yan's FOF is the main venue for them to show off.
In Zhuang Yan's latest FOF, that is, under the FOF of the venue notice of the next signing meeting, there are pictures of "Sophie's World" at your fingertips.
[Ahaha, I bought it, I bought it. γ
[It's hard to buy books, and I've been queuing for a long time. γ
[Small cities have the benefits of small cities, and no one grabs them when they buy books. γ
[After buying, do you want to go to the bookstore for a private visit, I'll wait for you in the bookstore. γ
Even before the release of the new book, some news media hyped that Zhuang Yan's new book was a business book made for money, but as soon as the new book was released, a large number of book lovers still paid for it.
In the hot comments, there is also this strange comment.
[The pile is big, you are really sorry, there is no oil in the jadeite area of the sanitary napkin. γ
Zhuang Yan looked at it for a while and didn't understand what this was, how could such a messy comment be on the hot search? Click on the comment below this comment, Zhuang Yan suddenly realized.
It turns out that the meaning of this sentence is: Zhuang Da, you are so bad, why didn't we release it in English-speaking areas.
The person who posted this comment was an American who had just recently learned Chinese, and because the English version of Zhuang Yan's new book was not released at the same time, he came to complain.
This is not the only American who has come to complain, but everyone else speaks English, and only this cutie is "fluent" in Chinese.
And he also interacted with other netizens, there are so few people who catch such a cutie, it's not a hard teasing, this foreign netizen is also very serious about chatting with Chinese netizens, but the typed words are really a little difficult to understand.
Zhuang Yan pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, these book friends are really talents, if he saw such an incomprehensible comment, he must have skipped it directly, but he didn't expect that someone would study it carefully, and finally read the meaning, and slipped out of this child who had just learned Chinese.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Yan wrote under this comment: Don't worry, the translation of the English version is nearing completion, and it will probably be published in more than a month. At that time, friends in English-speaking areas will also be able to see it, but seeing that your Chinese is so good, there should be no need, and I believe that your Chinese version can also be fully understood.
finally laughed, Zhuang Yan turned off the FOF, then found his notebook, and continued the work of "The Man Who Stole the Shadow", the first draft of the book is about to come out, and the plot has come to an end.
As soon as he turned off FOF here, some netizens found Zhuang Yan's comment over there.
[Hahaha, has Zhuang Da also come to turn over this little cute brand?]
[Zhuang Da is right, this little cute Chinese doesn't need to worry about it at all.] γ
[Yes, yes, it's better not to send the English version, Chinese is very simple, foreign netizens can learn it casually.] γ
[Below is Sakamoto from the neon country, which can prove that our people in the neon country have no pressure to read Chinese at all. ] Take a look at the latest chapter of "Wonderful Claw Book House in the Literary and Art World" to read for free for the first time.
