Chapter 789: The Count of Monte Cristo

"Dubert, congratulations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Thank you, but the competition isn't over yet. ”

"Hehe, what's this, there is one month left before the two-month allotted time, and Huang Yifan's novel has just been released. No matter how Huang Yifan's novel is written, the overall situation has been decided. What's more, your novel has already sold a horrific 3 million copies, and in a month to come, the final figure may be 4 million copies. With 4 million copies of data, I don't believe that Huang Yifan has any other ability to defeat you. ”

"Then thank you for your kind words, cheers. ”

"Dubert" looked excited.

He knew that his previous adventure was the right one.

Although he was nervous for fear of losing this competition, after all, Huang Yifan's global record is there. Although Huang Yifan didn't set such an amazing record in France, who knows. However, when "Dubert" waited for a month, and he hadn't seen Huang Yifan's new book for a month, "Dubert" already knew that he basically won this competition.

Although he knew that Huang Yifan had released a new book yesterday. But a month has passed, and even if Huang Yifan's new book sells well, he is invincible. What's more, he had already received the sales data of the first day of Huang Yifan's latest work yesterday.

50,000 copies.

Selling 50,000 copies in one day is not bad, but it is definitely not good.

What's more, this is for Huang Yifan, who broke the global bestseller record.

Of course, from a rational point of view, this data is already very good. After all, the French market is a relatively exclusive market, and it is difficult for French readers to accept works written by authors from other countries. Huang Yifan's three musketeers sold 50,000 copies on the first day, which has already broken the record for a foreign author.

However, when this record is compared with "Dubert", it is clear that Huang Yifan's new book has completely fallen behind.

One was to sell 300,000 copies on the first day.

One was that only 50,000 copies were sold on the first day.

Although there is still a month left in the competition, everyone knows that Huang Yifan has lost at such a start.

And when such data appeared, a group of French media also sent a celebratory voice to "Dubert" in advance.

However, "Dubert" represents the author of French literature and the face of French people. Although Huang Yifan is a best-selling novel author in the world, he is much more famous than "Dubert". But even the French, no matter how unpatriotic, hoped for victory for "Dubert".

Before they were still wait-and-see whether "Dubert" could win, after all, Huang Yifan's fame was too loud, and his sales data was too shocking, and they couldn't fully support "Dubert", not to mention, the competition of "Dubert" itself made people feel shameless. However, after the release of the data, all the truth is revealed.

Even if Huang Yifan has the power to return to heaven, after the expiration of the next month, he will lose to "Dubert".

"It is no accident that a beautiful moment wins a competition, it is a triumph of French literature. ”

"From the triumph of "Dubert" to analyze the world's best-selling novels and French literature. ”

"Why did Huang Yifan fail?"

A series of voices from the French media appeared, and it seemed that they thought that Huang Yifan seemed to be lost.

But is that really the case?

At least, the disciples of Bai Yutang were not convinced.

"Brothers, will Dabai lose, no, I believe that Dabai will definitely not lose. ”

"Everyone, do you still remember how Dabai was domineering in the Sanjiang Pavilion battle at the starting point, and how Dabai turned defeat into victory? The big battle of that year seems to be yesterday, and I absolutely don't believe that Dabai will lose to that "Dubert". ”

"Yes, Dabai has never let us down. It was, and it is. ”

Maybe there is a destiny in the dark. Although the refusal of the Bai Yutang disciples to admit defeat seemed to be just wishful thinking, if the three musketeers were to lose the competition so easily. Well, this is too much to underestimate Alexandre Dumas as the king of global popular fiction.

It can be said that the series of works created by "Alexandre Dumas" are all popular novels, and in the opinion of people at the time, that is, Alexandre Dumas's novels are not mainstream literature, he is the same non-mainstream literature as the martial arts written by Jin Yong. However, who knew that martial arts novels were slowly replaced by Jin Yong into orthodox examples, not to mention Alexandre Dumas, who was more famous and influential than Jin Yong.

Because the novels written by Alexandre Dumas are so good and so good, even if everyone in the world knows that Dumas's novels are popular works, not so-called orthodox high literature. However, many of Alexandre Dumas's novels are also rated as world classics.

That's exactly what happened with The Three Musketeers today.

Although at the beginning, "The Three Musketeers" was not attractive enough, and even in terms of Huang Yifan's fame, the sales figures of the three musketeers on the first day were still a bit miserable. However, just three days later, there was a sudden rush of reviews on the market for "The Three Musketeers".

"God, what kind of novel is this, how come I haven't read it before. ”

"I don't know what type it is, so I have to say that the three musketeers are so handsome. ”

"Knight, knight, I love the knights in the novel, and the swordsmanship of the three musketeers. In particular, Ados's swordsmanship is so beautiful. ”

"It's a work I've seen that is more appealing than fantastical. ”

"There's a spirit called fairness in there, and I was blown away by it. ”

"No, it's not just fairness, it's the heroic personalities of the three musketeers, and it feels like the temperament they exude is like an epic hero, so legendary. ”

It's actually hard to evaluate how well a novel is written.

Most of the time can only be explained by the benevolent and the wise.

However, if a novel can arouse strong comments from a group of readers, then it is difficult for the novel not to be popular.

What's more, the extremely powerful chivalry of the three musketeers, his appearance, the readers did not resist at all.

"Brothers, highly recommend a book, three musketeers. ”

"The best book in the history of France, the Three Musketeers. ”

"If you don't look at it, you will regret it for the rest of your life. ”

The heated discussion of a group of people has become a recommendation of a lot of people, and the recommendation of a lot of people has turned into one sales data after another.

At first, such conversion rates are not very noticeable.

After selling 50,000 copies on the first day, the following days sold just over 20,000 copies.

But three days later, the three musketeers had sold 50,000 copies.

A week later, the three musketeers had sold 200,000 copies that day.

Generally speaking, the sales of a novel are mostly from high to low. The sales figures on the first day of listing are undoubtedly the highest, as the day is the most popular. Slowly, when the popularity gradually weakens, the sales will also slowly decline. Just like the beautiful moment, 300,000 copies were sold on the first day, but only 200,000 on the second day. However, the three musketeers broke this pattern.

He went from selling only 50,000 copies, but it has skyrocketed to 200,000 copies a day.

And that's not the end of it.

On the 8th day, the three musketeers sold 300,000 copies.

On the ninth day, the three musketeers sold 350,000 copies.

On the 10th day, the three musketeers sold 500,000 copies of the horror stats.

On the 11th day, 900,000 copies were sold.

And when such a data appeared, the French media was all in charge.

200,000 copies.

300,000 copies.

500,000 copies.

and then to 900,000 copies.

Is there anything else to say?

Do you need to try again?

Even with the current data, Huang Yifan has already defeated "Dubert".

Not to mention, the month is not over yet.

As for what sales will be in a month's time, no one can estimate.

But it is already known that there is an epic masterpiece in the history of French literature.

This masterpiece is called the Three Musketeers.

It's just a pity that this masterpiece was not written by a Frenchman, but by a Chinese.

……

"Guys, can anyone analyze the characteristics of the three musketeers?"

"The three musketeers had a great discussion. ”

"On the success of the three musketeers. ”

Reality tends to be more dramatic than fiction. Previously, a group of media ridiculed Huang Yifan for losing the competition, but now they have begun to analyze the success of the three musketeers in a blink of an eye.

"Actually, I think the most successful thing about the three musketeers is that they have created four characters with great personalities. Whether it's the main character, d'Artagnan, or his three companions, they all have great personalities. Moreover, their personalities are not set in stone. As they age and who they are, so does their personality. ”

"I think the best thing about the three musketeers is that they write a noble story for us in a layman's way. As they say, the Three Musketeers are a popular novel, but we must not treat him as a popular novel. ”

All sorts of people have their own opinions about the three musketeers.

However, the reason for the success of the three musketeers has not yet been summed up.

However, it doesn't matter if it hasn't been summarized for the time being, Huang Yifan can write another book for them to summarize.

The book is called The Count of Monte Cristo.

It can be said that the Count of Monte Cristo is Alexandre Dumas's most proud novel, and it is also the novel that has to be mentioned in the history of world masterpieces.

If there is one sentence to describe this novel, it is that it is a story about revenge.

Isn't it simple?

In fact, simple does not mean that it is really that simple.

The protagonist has an accident and is framed by two villains and goes to prison. But entering prison is not the end of the protagonist, but the beginning of his life. While in prison, he befriended a mysterious mentor, Father Faria, who taught him a series of knowledge. This knowledge includes several foreign languages, sword skills, and disguise techniques...... Through this knowledge, the protagonist is successfully released from prison. And after being released from prison, he became the Count of Monte Cristo and launched a path of revenge against the person who framed him.

Although, like the Three Musketeers, this is the same popular novel. But because the Count of Monte Cristo was so successful, almost every country in the world and literati should be in awe of this novel. Even after more than 100 years in his previous life, the Count of Monte Cristo has been put on the big screen countless times.

Of course, it is difficult to tell the scriptures of Monte Cristo in their entirety.

And if anything, the Count of Monte Cristo perfectly shows the life of a legendary knight.

In the same way, when Huang Yifan appeared with this Count of Monte Cristo, the word knight became the theme of the whole society at that time.

"In fact, knights are very similar to our Chinese chivalrous knights, knights first appeared in the homes of some big feudal farmers, and they acted as the thugs of these farmers, often helping the farmers to fight. This is the same as the origin of our Chinese knights, when the early Chinese knights were only some of the monarch's disciples, usually they relied on the monarch to survive, and when necessary, through their own sword skills, force, to help the monarch complete a series of things. ”

Keeping his promise, Huang Yifan came to the University of Paris again.

This time, he is going to talk about chivalric literature.

Yes.

After the Three Musketeers, the Count of Monte Cristo, the image of the knight has penetrated into the hearts of countless readers.

People are as interested in knights as they are in knights at home.

"Of course, there is no such thing as knighthood in modern society, but chivalry is still in our blood. ”

Huang Yifan talked eloquently.

"Mr. Huang Yifan, then, how can you become a qualified knight?"

At this time, a student interacted with Huang Yifan and asked.

"That's a good question, first of all, the knight must have a humble heart. Knights have their proud side, and this is because of their glorious attributes. But knights are not the same as the pride of the nobility, and knights should have humility in dealing with everyone, even commoners. ”

Compared to knights, knights also have a variety of rules.

If you don't meet these conditions, then you are not a qualified knight.

Of course, humility alone is not enough. That is, a knight should have the honor of a knight, just like the name of a knight, even if it is a name alone, he is an honor in itself. If someone insults a knight, then, as a knight, you must stand up and fight for glory. ”

"Just like you accept Dubert's challenge, because he has insulted the honor of the knight. ”

The student who stood up asked.

"So to speak. Other than that, though. A knight should also be merciful, but also honest and fair...... If you've done all of that. Well, believe that you will be a qualified knight. ”

This concludes a speech.

The entire University of Paris students all stood up and looked at Huang Yifan with great respect.

They knew that a real knight had appeared. (To be continued.) )
