Chapter 819: The Reader Who Can't Laugh or Cry
On the first day of the shelf, all the content was updated, and a finale was written just after the start of charging.
This really confuses readers!
Could this be an outline escape after the eunuch is unfinished?
They also thought that this "In the Name of the People" would be serialized for another month or even longer, who would have thought that it would be completed on the day it was put on the shelves.
This is indeed more than 20 chapters updated in one go, and the number of words in each chapter is also quite a lot, but this is the first time I have seen such an exaggerated way of finishing the book!
Zhang Chu's fans are now in a state of confusion, and before the finale chapter was released, they were still mobilizing and crowdfunding in the group and book review area.
wants to help Zhang Chu get the top ten of the monthly pass list once, after all, the click list and recommendation votes have been touched, and only the monthly pass list has not been in the top ten.
This is not to say that Zhang Chu's popularity and fans are not enough, but because he writes short stories, which are relative to the long stories on the Internet.
"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Sou Shen Ji" have not shown their skills on the monthly ticket list, and the readers of physical books are indeed not lacking in cohesion and experience in the online station!
I finally saw that "In the Name of the People" was serialized for so long, and I thought I could make up for this regret, but who would have thought that it would be destroyed by Zhang Chu!
At this moment, some fans would even prefer to see fewer updates every day, and also hope to serialize this month until the end of the month.
"Strong! Update more than 90,000 words on the first day and finish the book, it's so characterful!"
"Raising and raising, and suddenly one day raising the feeling of dying. ”
"Originally, I wanted to slaughter 500,000 words later, but now that it's all finale, I'll start reading it. ”
Zhang Chu greatly announced to the world that he is not a salted fish!"
"It's useless to keep my ticket, so I'll give it to you. ”
"It would be nice if a good book could be a little longer. ”
These readers can't wait to start reading after commenting, and many even plan to take a closer look at it from the beginning, which is a bit more coherent.
I'm used to updating every day, and now it's updated so much at first glance, and it really takes a lot of time to read it.
In the past, when I went to the toilet or waited for the subway or bus, I could spend a few minutes to read the content of the day or yesterday, but now 90,000 words is a lot!
And it's not like the rest, you can look at it directly at a glance, and you need to pay full attention to understand the relationship between these characters, understand the behavior of these characters, and the subtext of each sentence.
The people above the officialdom speak as if they are playing a sharp game, and there are many layers of hidden meanings.
It is possible that two seemingly bland words are actually a verbal contest between the two sides.
If you don't look closely, then what you missed may have an impact on the future, so that you can't figure out the plot!
There are landmines everywhere, and people in the system have to be careful in what they say and do.
It's already very tiring just to read officialdom texts, let alone write officialdom texts.
Zhang Chu is not a person who has been in officialdom, and he can only rely on the original books, film and television works, as well as the observation of prisoners.
The savior system didn't give him a lottery skill, saying that it was the ability to mix officialdom max or something, so there may also be loopholes and flaws!
Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, don't think it's easy to just release these chapters!
These contents were all saved by him little by little during the Spring Festival, and they were all thrown out in one day.
Copy and paste documents from your computer to the author's backend, and then be careful not to duplicate or misplace.
It's really nice to see the number of subscriptions going up.
The harvest season has finally arrived, and he hopes that his adaptation will be loved by readers and critics alike.
It's just that now we have to wait for them to finish reading the content that has just been updated!
……
In the Nanhai Publishing Company, Gu Xinxue's hand holding the thermos cup couldn't help but tremble.
They don't have any say in the progress of the In the Name of the People update.
Whether it's the relevant department or Zhang Chu, they can't afford to offend!
If it was in the past, he would still be concerned about asking Zhang Chu's writing progress and the problems or choices he encountered in writing.
It's just that this time the new book is what was said on it, and he didn't dare to meddle rashly.
Even if Nanhai Publishing Company wants to publish "In the Name of the People", it is not so simple, and it must be handed over to the relevant departments for review and approval before it can be taken to the General Administration of Press and Publication!
"It's been written so quickly, and it feels like it's only been a little over a month since the serialization was announced......"
Gu Xinxue knew Zhang Chu's writing speed, but this speed still surprised him.
As an editor, you must always pay attention to his works, so every chapter of the new book is carefully read, and sufficient notes are also taken, so that it can be used when discussing the revision of the physical version with Zhang Chu in detail.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen, standing on the shore to learn and not being able to swim.
When serializing, there may be correspondence errors or logical errors in the context due to omissions, and physical publication can increase the chance of revision, so that the structure and language of the article are more accurate!
"Lao Gu, Zhang Chu's speed of writing books is too fast, I don't think there are many people on the Internet who can update 90,000 words a day. He really doesn't know how to hang people's appetite at all, so it's okay to update it slowly over a few days. ”
A colleague lamented that the editor had only read the first few chapters of "In the Name of the People" and that he was not going to spend money on it, because it would not be long before he could see the manuscript that Zhang Chu had handed over to the publishing house.
It's both refined and free.
Gu Xinxue pursed his mouth, "This should be because of the holiday at home." If it's during school, it shouldn't be so fast. ”
"My kid played games every day during the holidays, didn't finish his homework during the winter vacation, and copied other people's answers at Starbucks on the last day, but he was so stupid that he copied all the names on the paper, which was really stupid. If you look at other people's children, and then look at your own, I really don't know how this gene came from. My and I are the kind of people who love to learn. ”
"Eh, Brother Xu. Is your neighbor's surname Wang?"
"Xiao Zhu, you don't learn, but you learn these jokes, you still worry about yourself. Working overtime in the company every day, my wife will have to run sooner or later. ”
The topic gradually deviated, and Gu Xinxue did not participate in the mutual harm of his colleagues.
He's going to finish reading the updated VIP charging chapters, and the error correction and improvement notes haven't been done yet, so he can't give up halfway!
However, there are always trivial things that keep him from calming down.
No, the phone on the desk rang, and the number on the caller ID was from the deputy general manager's office.
The internal phone numbers are more familiar, especially those of the leaders.
"Mr. Lin?"
"Old Gu, I just learned a piece of news. Zhang Chu's book serialized on it is finished, otherwise you should contact him now to take a look, and ask him to bring the work over first for us to review, revise and proofread. ”
The tone was full of impatience.
Nanhai Publishing Company became a rising company in the Chinese publishing industry last year, relying on Zhang Chu's!
Although this year's "Norwegian Wood" got off to a good start, it was far from being a bomb.
At present, it seems that "In the Name of the People" has the potential to be a hit, and everyone has always been curious about the mysterious officialdom.
Now it seems that Zhang Chu's officialdom anti-corruption article focuses on authenticity and large-scale, coupled with an official background, it can have good sales with a little operation.
One book can't compare to the sales of "Ghost Blowing Lantern: Exquisite Ancient City" in the same period last year, so it's two books!
If two books don't work, then three!
After Gu Xinxue heard the deputy general manager's instructions, he had to agree: "Okay, I'll go and ask him." ”
"Time is money, and a waste of time is a waste of life. Give me a call when the results are available. ”
"No problem!"
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xinxue opened QQ, found Zhang Chu's account, and sent a message: "I just saw that you actually sent out all the remaining chapters in one go, you must have a plan for the revision of the whole book, right?"
Zhang Chu was staying in front of the computer at this time, and after seeing the reminder that popped up, he clicked on the message conversation.
Of course, he knew Gu Xinxue's intention, and directly pointed out: "The plan is a plan, but the refinement of these hundreds of thousands of words is also a huge project, so I can't be sure when I can give you the content, I can only say as much as possible." ”
It's tiring to write hundreds of thousands of words, but it's even more tiring to revise the hundreds of thousands of words that are basically mature!
Because the overall style has been finalized, the plot has been fixed, and even the character relationships and dialogues do not have much room for modification, and it is very troublesome to refine them.
It's like taking a test score from 0 to 10 in difficulty, just as it does from 90 to 100, it's the same as raising 10 points, but the latter is much more difficult under normal circumstances.
Gu Xinxue wanted to urge, but he also knew that now that Zhang Chu had started school, it was not easy to refine the content.
So he took the initiative to propose: "I have read you, and I have made notes on the overall situation and each chapter, maybe we can find a chance to talk in detail and see if we can inspire you!"
"Well, why don't you have classes tomorrow after half past three? ”
It is said that the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.
Of course, Zhang Chu looks at his works and how pleasing to the eye, and he needs some opinions and suggestions from the people around him.
Sometimes others can see things they can't.
Gu Xinxue was also very happy to help Zhang Chu, and replied briskly: "No problem, I'll go and see yours again today, and take stock of the opinions of your readers on the Internet to see what can be improved." ”
Electronic serialization first, and then physical publishing, is such a little advantage!
After the two agreed on the time, Gu Xinxue seemed to have completed a difficult task, and the whole person was a lot easier.
"You've been writing several books in a row over the past few months, have you thought about taking a break lately?" ”
Zhang Chu is actually not as tired as he thought, although "Norwegian Wood" was released on New Year's Day, it was written more than a month ago!
Now I will finish the serialized version of "In the Name of the People", and then take the time to finish the revised version again, and when the physical book is published, it will be a month at the earliest.
Maybe you can come up with the idea of a new book first, and then it's too late to start writing after the book is released.
Everyone around him is paying attention to his new book, and it's not the first time that such a vague inquiry has been made.
Ye Shumei and Zhou Kang both hope that Zhang Chu will not be so willful, and at least choose a work with more room to play, just like "Ghost Blows the Lamp" and "The Da Vinci Code"!
However, Zhang Chu is also very worried, because some works exist in this world.
This year is very fast-paced, not only the requirements of the publishing company, but also the employees of his own brokerage company, and readers all over the land of China are looking forward to his next book.
Many writers can't get used to this fast pace, and they don't write a new book until long after the release of their last book.
However, at this time, the book market seems to have forgotten about them, so more and more writers are shortening the interval between books!
Of course, there are also many wayward writers with talents and readers, who do not worry about having no readers and have enough capital to procrastinate.
However, no amount of fans can withstand repeated consumption.
Zhang Chu thought for a while and replied, "Let's talk about the new book when the time comes, and solve the book first." ”
What's in front of you is a little more important.
Gu Xinxue quickly changed the topic after hitting a soft nail, "During the winter vacation, you went to the United States to watch the filming of "Life of Pi", what do you think of the filming? Is it necessary for our publishing house to cooperate with the film to promote it?"
"It's a good shot, but the visuals of those things haven't been made yet, and if they do, they'll definitely surprise everyone. Don't worry about it now, you can wait for the trailer to be released. ”
Zhang Chu didn't want to talk about these topics, he looked at the matcha that was rummaging through the cabinets to find food, and said quickly: "Editor Gu, I still have something to do here, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Okay, you go get busy, I'll read a book. ”
Zhang Chu threw all the computer mice here, walked to the edge of the bookshelf and picked up the matcha.
This guy's ability to open boxes is getting stronger and stronger, and he almost ruined the ancient books he bought for collection!
It's impossible to find food in the study.
Although she exercises a lot every day, her body size is still expanding at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
Other people's domestic black cats are as athletic as a little black panther, but their own matcha is developing in the direction of orange cats.
The strange thing is that this slightly obese body has not affected its flexibility and agility, and it is proficient in flying eaves and walls!
He went to the plastic storage box outside to take out the matcha cat food and snacks and pour them, and then the little guy buried his head in the basin and ate it.
