Chapter 356: The Charm of History (Three More Requests for Subscription)

The media in the UK and the United States are focusing on this matter, and their focus is on this TV series, while the domestic media is focusing on Zhang Chu, after all, that is what netizens are most interested in.

3 million pounds According to the current market, this is a full 26 million yuan, and without adding the so-called dividend, this dividend looks more like a big head!

And in the news, it is said that he will directly sign for three seasons, that is, Zhang Chu may get 9 million pounds, albeit in installments.

However, the outside news does not know the details inside, in fact, if the ratings can be stabilized, he can still increase by 500,000 per season, and the final total is just 10 million pounds.

In last year's statistics, Zhang Chu's income of so many seven, seven, eight and eight didn't add up to so much money, and now the second season of "Sherlock" directly made him earn a lot of money, I don't know how many people envy, jealous and hate.

TV series copyrights are quite lucrative, and they are even more valuable than top-level movie adaptation rights, especially the kind of long-lived dramas, which are authorized once a season, rather than being packaged and sold in one go.

"Damn, the copyright fee alone is almost breaking 100 million, right?

"Finally there is news of the renewal, is Zhang Chu busy now?"

"Congratulations to Xiao Zhang, for letting the BBC, a miser, spend so much money to call you remotely. ”

"I can't see the second season until Christmas, it's really tormenting, I don't know if Zhang Chu will write it out first. ”

"No wonder I want to go to the United States to fight a lawsuit, this is a hundred million! I can't make so much money in a few lifetimes. ”

"The heroes in the minds of the British are written by us Chinese, and it always feels weird. ”

Compared with the excitement of netizens, the writers' circle is particularly cold, and it seems that except for Hu Wei and others who sent Weibo congratulations, the rest of them are silent!

But in their private circle, the news was like a thunderclap on the ground, and they couldn't come back to their senses.

"It was not easy for me to sell the film and television adaptation rights, and I was smiling from ear to ear when I was given two million yuan, and others directly paid three million pounds. ”

"It's obviously not very well written, why is it so popular?"

"Damn, I'm going to write 007 James Bond fanfics tomorrow, and maybe I'll be selected as a script!"

"The copyright sells well and is really popular, so there is capital to toss at will, and what academic works are published at a young age, I really have no self-knowledge at all. ”

"I guess I was carried away by these successes, and his brokerage company and publishing house are probably interested in high popularity. It's a pity that his popularity is so high, and it doesn't seem to have led to a new book!"

"Actually, I think Zhang Chu is quite smart, as long as there is "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", he will not be able to be confused for a while, even if he fights in "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", he can get up later. ”

"I think there is really a problem that he can become popular, could it be that someone specially created it?"

"Guess if he can win this book, this is probably the best chance to pull him down. ”

Although I am a little unaccustomed to Zhang Chu, I have to admit that his popularity is very stable, if "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can be adapted, it will be solid!

Now many people in the publishing circle are waiting for Zhang Chuzhi to follow, and they even have prepared the melon seed tea for watching jokes.

How brilliant the previous work is, how miserable the later work will be relatively speaking, and the pre-sales of "Wanli Fifteen Years" have not yet exceeded 80,000 copies at the last moment, let alone 100,000.

This is an incredible thing for a writer who is in the news every day and has a skyrocketing readership.

Even many reviewers who contributed to the media called this historical academic work Zhang Chu's "Waterloo", believing that he was very likely to suffer the greatest pain in his writing career in this book!

……

The presence of heating is very important to matcha, and when it is in Jiangcheng, it is either lying in front of the glass to bask in the sun or collapsing in front of the electric heater and sleeping soundly, but where can those compare to the comfortable heating?

After all, it came into contact with heating when it first appeared in this world, but it ended up running to the cold south, fortunately there was no snow in Jiangcheng this year, otherwise it would have shrunk into a ball.

It is said that winter is a good time to nourish fat, and matcha practices this sentence by itself, and its originally slender limbs and thin and lovely face seem to be swollen at this time.

Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, occasionally watching TV, or squatting on the windowsill to watch the scenery outside, life is very comfortable.

Zhang Chu always likes to buy toys and snacks for it, there are quite a lot of miscellaneous things, and he even specially prepared an entertainment game house for this little guy in the new house!

He squatted down and poured the cat's dried shrimp into the matcha's rice bowl, and before he could speak, the fishy smell of the shrimp attracted the matcha.

In addition to small shrimps, what are the chicken-flavored liquid snacks, chewable chips with trace elements, salmon strips, scallop-flavored dried bonito, chicken breast, cat grass biscuits, and canned food that all cats can't refuse!

Not only does Zhang Chu love his cat so much, but even his readers often send some cat food and toys to Matcha to Menglong Culture Company.

Who let them not find out Zhang Chu's residence, the brokerage company knew it as soon as they checked it, so these couriers gave him a headache, and finally had to take them out and donate them to the stray cat reception base, so as not to waste a piece of good intentions of readers.

Cats eat even better than people, Zhang Chu admits that he is a lazy worm, and it is really troublesome to cook at home, so takeout and outside restaurants are the best choices.

The praise on the Internet did not make him fluttering, and the hostility of the rest of the writers did not make him lose his normal heart, people are mediocre if they are not envied!

"The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" has never been a sales-oriented work that relies on explosions, it is a slow sales of moisturizing things silently, and many people are asking for an academic historical work at a popular level.

If it didn't win the championship in the first week and first month, Zhang Chu wouldn't be worried at all, as long as it could be recognized by professionals and ordinary readers, the future would definitely belong to this book!

……

The train rumbled and went along the tracks in the dark of night.

Lu Xuan sat in the hard-seat carriage of the train and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and the rest of the people were almost crookedly asleep, but the various smells and sounds inside repeatedly invaded his body senses.

This is the peak period of the anti-city, everyone goes back to school and work after the Spring Festival, so there are a lot of big bags and small bags.

The bullet train tickets have been sold out a long time ago, if it weren't for the ticket-grabbing software, I'm afraid Lu Xuan wouldn't even be able to grab the hard seat seat of this train.

"I can read this history book in a few minutes, and I hope the train doesn't have to go through any tunnels!"

Lu Xuan secretly prayed that he was prepared today, and he planned to rely on Zhang Chu's new work to pass the boring train time, and the power bank was ready.

As a student of an engineering college, Lu Xuan's usual works are mainly science fiction, history, and fantasy works, especially historical works.

If it weren't for the family's forced choice of science, I would have been a liberal arts student when I was in high school.

He always reads books only by looking at the work, and does not mind who the author is.

In fact, he hasn't read Zhang Chu's most popular "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" at present, because he was a little scared from the time he saw the title, so he simply stayed away!

But the recommendation of this book "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is not ordinary, so many bigwigs in the field of historical research actually say that this book is very distinctive and worth a look.

These bigwigs are not lied according to common sense, and several newspapers have also given exceptionally good reviews.

The comments he had seen before appeared in Lu Xuan's mind, which almost shocked the entire historiography community!

"Shuhai Literature and Art" gave a five-star recommendation, and their reviewers seemed to be addicted to it: "Zhang Chu's book simply opens up another world to us, and everyone who reads this book will be surprised that history can be written like this." ”

The reviewer of "China Today" also gave a very high evaluation: "History is so interesting, complex, and rich, and it turns out that historical figures are not as monotonous and formatted as the previous junior high school and high school textbooks. This book, so to speak, is like a dagger, tearing open the iron curtain of historical writing ruled by ideology!"

The contributor of "China Youth Daily" is probably Zhang Chu's most loyal die-hard, and the words of praise make almost everyone who sees it ashamed: "I have a strong premonition that when "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" is published, the spiritual outlook of our Chinese historical circles will be completely new. It is no exaggeration to say that it will change our Chinese historical reading habits and enter a new era of academic history writing and reading!"

It made him feel like he was living like a year, why was the first few minutes of the morning so long? Readers who were in the same mood as him abounded, wondering what it was like to conquer almost every book critic and historian before going public.

The fifteenth year of Wanli has been brought out by netizens for many separate discussions, and they can't find any events to write about from either the official history or the wild history!

In such an uneventful year, why can a book be written directly, is it all packed with hydrology?

The charm of history lies in this, what everyone has is what is left over from the long river of time, and it is extremely difficult to restore the historical truth with this single word.

When Lu Xuan saw that the time on his phone had become 00:00, he immediately clicked into the Douban Reading APP, and just when he wanted to enter a few words in the fifteenth year of Wanli to search, he found that in the middle of the homepage of Douban Reading was the purchase link of the book!

The price of 8 yuan for an e-book did not stop Lu Xuan, who paid extremely smoothly, and then jumped to the reading page without any time wasted.
