Chapter Seventy-Three: The Lively Qingyang Literary Circle
These two days are really extraordinary days for the citizens of Qingyang City.
Qingyang City is a small city, and in recent years, there have been few big names in Qingyang City, whether it is in the literary world or the entertainment industry.
Therefore, in the ordinary life of the citizens of Qingyang City, it is difficult to see the familiar figure whether it is a newspaper or a TV, and it is always the same official news.
However, these two days are different, due to the publication of Cheng Ji's new book "Auntie", whether it is a local newspaper or a TV program, the citizens of Qingyang City can see the news about Cheng Ji's new book.
People in Qingyang City are familiar with Cheng Ji, who was still a student of Qingshui High School when he first emerged in the literary world.
As the most famous representative of the younger generation in Qingyang City in the imperial literary circle, the citizens of Qingyang City still pay more attention to Cheng Ji.
But from today onwards, I will probably pay more attention!
The cause of the incident was a news item published in the "Qingyang Daily" this morning.
"The showdown in the literary world, the seniors and the younger brothers love and kill each other; the sales competition, the genius boy wins the victory"
As the best-selling newspaper in Qingyang City, Qingyang Daily has many people who buy and read newspapers every day.
And such an unconventional and informative long title instantly attracts the reader's attention!
"Recently, the Qingyang literary scene has a second spring, not to mention the return of the suspenseful little prince Cheng Ji, and also brought us a new book "Sister-in-law", which makes readers who like suspense novels happy, however, what is little known is that in the past few days, under the vigorous propaganda offensive of "Sister-in-law", another dark horse in Qingyang City was born! It is that familiar place again, Qingshui High School! It is that familiar age again, seventeen years old! It's just another unfamiliar name, Ye Chen!"
"Due to Cheng Ji's strong return, the Qingyang literary scene in April should have been the glory of Cheng Ji's coronation, and then to the surprise of readers and the author, the seventeen-year-old genius boy Ye Chen personally took back the crown of success from Cheng Ji and put it on his head!"
Ye Chen is a senior student at Qingshui High School and Cheng Ji's younger brother, and some people may feel familiar, that is, the speaker of "The Joy of Reading" played on the screen in the downtown square two days ago. ”
And more importantly, Ye Chen did a big thing in April, he chose to publish his novel on the same day as Cheng Ji in the same publishing house, that is, "The Da Vinci Code", and before that, there was no publicity. ”
"However, what people never expected was that Ye Chen, as a newcomer in the literary world, actually defeated Cheng Ji on the first day of stepping into the literary world, just yesterday, Huayu Publishing House's first-day sales of "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Da Vinci Code" have been counted, "The Da Vinci Code" sold 3,000 copies on the first day, and "The Da Vinci Code" sold 6,000 copies on the first day!"
"A newcomer in the literary world has achieved such amazing results in his first novel, and it can be expected that a new star in the literary world is about to rise, let's wait and see!"
Countless Qingyang citizens have attracted attention by this title, and the content of the text has surprised most uninformed readers!
What's the situation? Today is April Fool's Day? A high school student who suddenly popped up, who had never heard of this person named Ye Chen before, fell on the suspenseful little prince Cheng Ji as soon as he appeared? I don't read much, and even the newspaper lied to me?
"Who is Ye Chen? He is so powerful, he defeated Cheng Ji in his first novel published at the age of seventeen, and sold 6,000 copies on the first day, my God!"
There are all kinds of remarks, some curious, some doubtful, some appreciative and admired, and some disgusted and doubtful.
Some of Cheng Ji's die-hard fans even angrily tore the newspaper to shreds and scolded the false report of "Qingyang Daily"!
Even the vast majority of people think that this is a pastime of "Qingyang Daily", after all, this is too absurd!
It's like if you suddenly meet a beggar in a passer-by and he tells you that I will become the emperor of the empire tomorrow, and you will definitely think that this person is crazy!
But what if you woke up and found that the next day the beggar had become the emperor of the empire?
Then the world must be crazy!
And for the next whole day, to the surprise of Qingyang citizens, all the large and small media in Qingyang City reported on this incident, which undoubtedly confirmed this incident from the side.
"What's the situation, I Ji just fell on the way so inexplicably, causing his buttocks to fall on someone's crotch and being blown up by a seventeen-year-old high school student?"
When it was confirmed that this was true, Cheng Ji's fans were stunned!
The entire Qingyang literary world was also stunned!
Cheng Ji was also stunned!
Cheng Ji looked at the newspaper in his hand with a stunned expression, his eyes glazed.
"Am I drunk and haven't woken up yet, and I'm dreaming at this time?" This was Cheng Ji's first reaction after seeing the news.
It wasn't until Cheng Ji pinched himself hard and felt the pain that Cheng Ji understood that the news was true.
If Cheng Ji knew the lyrics, then Cheng Ji would understand what it means to close your eyes and be dark, and wake up drunk and heartbroken!
When Cheng Ji came back to his senses, he immediately felt a sense of shame!
It's just that the sales on the first day are not as good as others, Cheng Ji has never lost, but why is it him? It is Ye Chen, who is studying in the same school as himself, writing books at the same age, publishing books by the same publishing house, and publishing books on the same date!
Cheng Ji felt as if someone had slapped two big ears on his face at this time, and it hurt hotly!
Cheng Ji can already imagine what kind of situation will happen when he goes out to meet book lovers in the future, "Wow, that person is Cheng Ji who was defeated by his own junior!"
When he thought of this scene, Cheng Ji felt uncomfortable!
"No, I must not allow such a thing to happen!" Thinking of this, Cheng Ji suddenly remembered Zhu Jin, Cheng Ji is not stupid, and he also knows what Zhu Jin is looking for himself, at this time, he and Zhu Jin are grasshoppers on a rope, and Zhu Jin will definitely help himself!
Cheng Ji took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhu Jin's phone.
"Hey, Editor-in-Chief Zhu" has a request from others, and Cheng Ji has to let go of his arrogance.
"Mr. Cheng, is there anything you are looking for me?" Zhu Jin heard that it was Cheng Ji, and he didn't know what it was for, and he must have come to find him because he was in a hurry at this time.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhu, I just read today's newspaper, it seems that my new book "Sister-in-law" is not in good shape, I don't know if Editor-in-Chief Zhu has any way?" Cheng Ji lowered his posture very low, and also had a glimmer of hope for Zhu Jin.
Seeing that he has always been full of arrogance and respectful results, Zhu Jin is also secretly happy in his heart at this moment, if he doesn't understand Cheng Ji's character, until this time to stabilize Cheng Ji, Zhu Jin really wants Cheng Ji to be more anxious.
However, considering that the current situation is not good, Zhu Jin said lightly: "There is no way, you don't have to worry too much, Ye Chen's "Da Vinci Code" can have such good sales, and it is also because Zheng Wei found Han Cheng to endorse him, but don't worry, I have already contacted Du Wen, and he promised that I would give you publicity and publicity, but I need a pen fee!"
Cheng Ji was drunk two days ago, and he didn't know anything about these things, but at this moment, when he heard Zhu Jin say that it was Han Cheng who endorsed Ye Chen, he suddenly realized.
Han Cheng's famous Cheng Ji has also heard of it, although he is also mixed in the literary world, but Cheng Ji knows very well that he is very different from Han Cheng, the former is a well-known figure in the literary world, and he is at most a little famous! I have also heard of Han Cheng, an outlier in the literary world, and the power of Han Cheng's endorsement is really terrible! Cheng Ji once thought about finding Han Cheng to endorse him, but he had to give up for various reasons!
Because of this, Cheng Ji was still a little nervous when he heard Han Cheng endorsing Ye Chen, but when he heard Zhu Jin say that he had contacted Du Wen, Cheng Ji was relieved.
Although compared to Han Cheng, Du Wen's reputation is slightly inferior, and Du Wen does not have Han Cheng's unique endorsement power, but Du Wensheng is old, as a professional book reviewer, Du Wen has commented on many books, many of which have a good reputation, so there are also many people who like to read are willing to listen to Du Wen's recommendation to buy books, with her help to promote, presumably their sales will increase a lot.
As for the pen fee that Zhu Jin said, Cheng Ji certainly understood that Zhu Jin meant to let himself out, and Cheng Ji had no objection to this.
After discussing with Zhu Jin again, Cheng Ji hung up the phone.
